Then the scene changed, and the only survivor of the shipwreck appeared in the picture. She looked haggard, but she forced herself to angrily tell the reporter the whole story. Although it was in H Mandarin, the radio station still thoughtfully added subtitles at the bottom:

[…Our original plan for the cruise was to travel along the coastline and visit several islands near the country. We boarded the ship that night and it set off. It was too dark and we couldn’t see the surrounding scenery clearly.]

[When we woke up the next morning, we found that there was a vast sea all around us. We couldn't see the coastline or any reference points. We felt something was wrong, so we asked the tour guide and teacher, but they didn't know what was wrong.]

[Later, a staff member came and said that the ship had deviated from its course and told us not to worry as it was just a minor problem. He also said that in order to make up for it, he had prepared a sumptuous meal and free entertainment facilities for me, so that we could enjoy the ship with peace of mind.]

[At that time, we didn't expect the terrible things that happened later. Until later... the ship shook violently for a few times, and then slowly tilted for some unknown reason.]

[We were all panicked, and when we went to look for the staff, we found that they had all fled on the boat! They had abandoned us and ran away!]

[More than 300 people on the boat... all sank to the bottom of the sea except me. I watched my classmates, my favorite boys... slowly sinking into the sea. I was the only one who was lucky enough to survive, but whenever I closed my eyes, I could see them struggling in the sea...]

[I suspect this is all a huge conspiracy, and I demand that the authorities launch a comprehensive investigation! ]

The family members behind her also called for the truth and justice for the victims.

Several tree demons sat in front of the TV, watching this scene and sighing:

"It's so tragic. So many lives were lost just like that."

"I heard that there is a kind of sorcery of sacrifice that can increase lifespan, health and luck by sacrificing living people. And the more people sacrificed, the better the effect."

"I am a thousand-year-old tree demon, but I still find it scary. How could those bastards be so cruel as to do such an unjust thing?"

"Hey, the immortal is here. Immortal, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" The sandalwood tree demon was extremely attentive.

The apricot tree demon hurriedly made room for Sang Feiwan: "Do you want to watch the news? Something big happened in Country H. They are suspected of using living people for sacrifice. More than 300 people died in one fell swoop!"

Sang Feiwan said, "Look, I'm going out for a walk."

The apricot tree demon murmured, "The immortal is too calm. He has no reaction to hearing such a thing."

The peach tree demon smiled and said, "You were too busy watching the drama yesterday and didn't watch the live broadcast of the immortal, so you didn't know that the immortal's live broadcast room was connected to the victims of the Paradise. The girl who was rescued in the news was also thanks to the help of our immortal."

The Willow Demon also lowered his voice and whispered, "And I found that the Immortal went out in the middle of the night and came back at dawn. I suspect that the Immortal is doing something secretly!"

The cypress demon was calmer after all, and said quickly: "Okay, stop guessing, or you'll cause trouble for the Immortal!"

Star Entertainment is holding a shareholders meeting.

Bai Jun sat in the main seat. Although he was dressed in a suit, he still spoke in a nonchalant tone:

"Today's meeting is to formally inform everyone of something. Zhang Xuexue will become a shareholder of our company, holding 10% of the shares. Now, let's welcome Miss Zhang Xuexue!"

The door to the conference room opened, and Zhang Xuexue came out with a smile on her face and greeted everyone: "Hello, directors. I'm Zhang Xuexue. I'm glad to meet you all."

Bai Jun personally pulled out a chair for her and invited her to sit down, which was very respectful.

The matter of investing in Star Entertainment was discussed several months ago.

However, since Zhang Xuexue had been practicing in seclusion in Shoulong Mountain and only returned recently, Bai Jun chose today to formally introduce Zhang Xuexue to everyone, which can be regarded as fulfilling his original promise.

But after the introduction, Zhang Xuexue came on stage, but the applause from the audience did not come as expected.

In the conference room, more than a dozen shareholders looked at each other with unhappy expressions.

"Boss Xiaobai, you are kidding, right? Even if Zhang Xuexue is a popular first-line actress, you can't just give her the company's shares. You should at least discuss it with us, right?"

"That's right. We were the veterans who followed Mr. Bai to build the company and made great contributions. When Star Entertainment was established, we contributed our efforts and money to become shareholders of the company. But the combined shares of the 12 of us are only 20%. And you casually gave Zhang Xuexue 10% of the shares. What is the point of our efforts over the years?"

"Boss Xiaobai, even if the Bai family is the largest shareholder of Star Entertainment, you are free to give your shares to whomever you want, but you also have to consider the future development of the company, right?"

"Does Mr. Bai know about this? Little Mr. Bai, you can't do anything behind Mr. Bai's back!"

"That's right! We didn't interfere too much in your decision of who to support and what projects you wanted to invest in for Mr. Bai's sake. But the company's shares are of great importance, so you must not act recklessly!"

Listening to these people's discussions, Zhang Xuexue raised her eyebrows slightly, leaned back in her chair, and waited to see how Bai Jun would deal with the next situation.

Bai Jun originally wanted to give Zhang Xuexue a formal introduction and convened a board meeting, but he didn't expect the directors to have such strong opinions. They started to attack him before he could even finish his words.

So Bai Jun got angry all of a sudden.

He slammed the table and said arrogantly, "I called you here today just to inform you that Zhang Xuexue will join the board of directors. I'm not discussing this with you, so I don't need your consent. You have any objections, right? Either keep it to yourself or go find my dad!"

"Boss Xiaobai, always leave a way out for yourself. It's best not to be too arrogant."

The person who spoke was Mr. Fang, who owned 8% of Star Entertainment's shares and was originally the second largest shareholder after the Bai family.

As a result, when Zhang Xuexue came, she took up 10% of the shares. Director Fang, who had always been the second in command, automatically gave up his position and became the third in command. Of course, he was not satisfied.

"I'm arrogant?" Bai Jun sneered, "I am arrogant, what can you do?"

"I told you to go find my dad if you have any complaints..." He walked up to Director Fang and looked down at him, "Why don't you go? Are you too embarrassed to go?"

"When our Bai Group's funding chain broke down, my father went around to raise money and found you. But what did you do at the time?"

"You all thought that our Bai family was going to go bankrupt. Not only did you not help, you were even worried that the news would get out and your shares would depreciate, so you were eager to cash out and leave! Is this what you call a great contribution?"

"That's right. You guys are all my father's elders, but my father has also made a lot of money with you over the years! It's fine that you refused to help when disaster struck. But what qualifications do you have to interfere with our equity distribution now?"

"To tell you the truth, our Bai family was able to get through the crisis so quickly thanks to Zhang Xuexue!"

Speaking of the previous incident, Director Fang did feel a little guilty, and his tone became even more hostile:

"Boss Xiaobai, even if you want to promote this little star, you don't have to bring up what happened before. Don't tell me that she helped you solve the funding problem! If you're going to lie, don't make it too outrageous!"
