After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 84 Shen Yu is going to Beijing.

"I understand." Lu Zongming suppressed his irritation and said in a deep voice.

"You all go back first. I'll figure out a way to handle this. I'll give you an answer within three days."

The production company and the platform quickly expressed their gratitude and took their leave.

Lu Zongming was left alone in the office. He immediately picked up his phone and called all the friends and business partners in Beijing he could talk to, trying to get in touch with Wang Yuanhe.

But the result was the same as the production company: they either politely refused or simply disappeared. I made calls all afternoon, but made no progress.

Everyone told him that Wang Yuanhe was determined this time and wouldn't give face to anyone, so no one dared to get involved in this mess.

At 8 p.m., when he was desperate, Lu Zongming's childhood friend, a businessman who had been doing business in Beijing for many years, called him with a hesitant tone.

"Old Lu, I can help you get in touch with Wang Yuanhe's boss, Director Zhang. But he has set conditions: he wants the exclusive national distribution rights for your two brands, Yuji and Qinghe."

They also want you to give up 30% of the shares in the Jiangcheng Port project. And they've only agreed to pass on the message; they can't guarantee it will actually happen.

Upon hearing this condition, Lu Zongming clenched his fists instantly, his eyes filled with anger.

This isn't negotiating terms; it's blatant extortion!

The exclusive nationwide agency rights for two brands, plus a 30% stake in a port project, are practically cutting off half of his business, and there's no guarantee they'll even come to fruition.

But he had no other choice but to take this route.

Lu Zongming didn't sleep all night. The next morning, he took the review notice and the conditions offered by the other party and went to the Yunjingtai Villa with a heavy heart.

In the living room, Shen Yu was playing with his two children's Lego. When he saw Lu Zongming enter, he glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Have a seat. Judging from your expression, things didn't go well?"

Lu Zongming bowed and greeted Mr. Shen, then sat on the sofa and, with a face full of remorse, recounted the entire incident in detail. Finally, he lowered his head and said with self-reproach:

"Mr. Shen, it's my fault for not handling things properly. My connections aren't enough to get the film approved in Beijing. There's really nothing I can do. How about we agree to their conditions first and get the film approved before we talk about anything else?"

After listening, Shen Yu picked up the two rejection notices on the table, flipped through them, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He instantly understood all the causes and consequences.

Aside from Liu Qingxuan and Liu Wanhua, no one would go to such lengths to block the censorship of "The Wind Rises in Chang'an".

They were scared.

They were afraid that if Jiang Xinlan appeared on screen in the drama, the Jiang family in Beijing would notice something was wrong.

That's why they spared no expense to get Wang Yuanhe to block the review process, wanting to completely blacklist Jiang Xinlan and prevent her from ever appearing in public again.

He's got a good plan.

"No need." Shen Yu put down the review notice, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable certainty.

"There's no need to agree to such exploitative demands. And there's no need to beg anyone; I'll handle this myself."

Lu Zongming was taken aback, and quickly said, "Mr. Shen, the waters in Beijing are too deep. Wang Yuanhe is impervious to reason, and we don't have any connections in Beijing, so you..."

"Foundation?" Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, a cold glint in his eyes.

No matter how deep their roots run, I can uproot them. The source of this matter has never been Wang Yuanhe, but Liu Qingxuan of Qingxuan Temple in Beijing, and Liu Wanhua of the Jiang family.

"There's no way to avoid it. Go and make the arrangements. My flight is tomorrow afternoon. I need to go to Beijing to settle everything once and for all."

Although Lu Zongming didn't understand the inside story, seeing Shen Yu's confidence, his heart immediately settled down.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I'll make the arrangements."

After Lu Zongming finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then volunteered again.

"If you trust me, I'll accompany you on this trip to Beijing!"

"Although my Lu family can't compare to the local powerful families in Beijing, we still have some connections and resources here. We can arrange basic accommodations, security, and networking perfectly. Whatever you need to do, I'll go to great lengths to make sure you're well taken care of and won't suffer any injustices in unfamiliar surroundings."

Shen Yu saved his life.

Now that Shen Yu is going to Beijing to deal with trouble, he naturally has no reason to sit idly by.

Shen Yu nodded slightly, not refusing: "Okay. Arrange the accommodation and security in advance, somewhere close to the Jiang family's residence, and set the security level to the highest. I'll handle the rest myself."

"Don't worry!" Lu Zongming replied immediately.

"I'll call our partner in Beijing right now. I can finalize the deal for a top-tier detached villa today. The security team will be people I trained myself; they're absolutely trustworthy, with 24-hour shifts to ensure absolute security!"

"And the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture, although we are not as powerful as Wang Yuanhe, we can still ask around to find out the ins and outs of it, so we won't be completely clueless."

Lu Zongming added, "Even if we can't get things done, we can at least pave the way for you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Meanwhile, in the study of Qingxuan Temple in the capital city.

After returning from his investigation in Jiangcheng, Chen Mo stood before Liu Qingxuan and bowed to report.

"Master, I've searched through every available channel in Jiangcheng, but I can't find any information about Shen Yu from six months ago. This person seems to have vanished into thin air back then, and then reappeared in Jiangcheng a few months ago as if out of nowhere. There's no past, no trace, nothing at all."

"The only thing we can find out is that he had a relationship with Jiang Xinlan before he disappeared. After he disappeared, Jiang Xinlan searched for him for a long time and eventually gave birth to twins on her own."

"After his sudden appearance, he encountered twins and reunited with Jiang Xinlan. He has dabbled in both medicine and metaphysics, and he saved Lu Zongming, Qin Zhengxiong, and Su Yumei from the Su family..."

Chen Mo reported all the information he had found to Liu Qingxuan.

Liu Qingxuan sat in the armchair, his fingertips lightly tapping the table, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

No results found.

They searched high and low, but couldn't find out what had happened during the six years this person had been missing.

This is very abnormal.
