Bai Lang came very quickly, and as soon as he entered the room he started yelling, "I was sleeping in, but you dragged me over to work overtime. We are brothers, but you still have to give me this spiritual compensation!"

Fu Zhenzhuo looked up from the documents and raised his eyebrows, "Is the 40% of the market left by the Zhou family not enough?"

Bai Lang snorted, "That was what the old man urged me to ask for. You gave it to the Bai family, not to me. You know, I just love being a lawyer..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Zhenzhuo curled his lips and said, "Want to join the legal department of Fu Group? Sorry, you are not qualified yet."

Bai Lang was as if he had lost his parents. He got angry and said, "I have my own studio. Why would I need your legal department? I have a young man under my command. He is very smart and motivated. But you know my studio can't afford to have a few idle people. He needs time to grow. I can't give him that time. I value talent..."

"That's even worse." Fu Zhenzhuo refused without a second thought. "Legal affairs is an important department. Fu Group has very high requirements for its employees. We don't want inexperienced talents like this."

It is no exaggeration to say that the Fu Group has gathered the best people in all walks of life. Most of them are top talents with superb IQs and excellent resumes from prestigious universities. Especially in the legal department, any one of them is a big shot in the industry.

If Bai Lang wanted to come in, he could still consider arranging a cucumber egg for him, but forget it.

Bai Lang looked at him inexplicably, "You are just nitpicking. Ask which company doesn't train talents from the very beginning? You are the only one who wants to start from the industry bigwigs."

Fu Zhenzhuo frowned, not taking his words seriously. "Important departments should recruit top talents in the industry. Our ordinary departments also have a mature promotion system. Can you accept him joining the business department? I can arrange it."

Bai Lang shook off the goose bumps on his body and declined the offer. "Forget it. He's a law student. You're abusing him by asking him to do business."

"The workplace is inherently cruel. The more top-notch the company, the more brutal the internal struggles. Isn't it because you couldn't adapt to this that you chose to leave your family to study law?"

Bai Lang nodded and sighed, "Forget it, even if that kid is unlucky, I have fought for him, but his level is not good enough, so it's not my fault."

Fu Zhenzhuo glanced at him and asked, "Did he ask you to recommend him to me?"

Bai Lang said, "He was eliminated during the interview, but I am optimistic about his future and encouraged him. He said that his greatest wish in life is to join the legal department of Fu Group, so I encouraged him a few more times."

Fu Zhenzhuo didn't take it to heart and said casually, "I can see that you like him very much. You even came to me to fight for a chance for him. It's a pity that there is no hope. Let him work hard. When he grows to a certain level, maybe he will have a chance."

Bai Lang said, "Then we can only encourage him to meet at the top - let's not talk about this anymore. I have brought all the information about the media company you mentioned on the phone. Let's sort it out together to see if there are any suspicious points."

As he spoke, he turned on the computer and sent the information to Fu Zhen to copy. Then the two of them sat face to face at opposite ends of the table and analyzed the existing information together.

Assistant Huang came in and brought two cups of tea.

Two hours later, after the information was sorted out, Bai Lang concluded, "There is no problem with the shareholders and legal persons of this media company. Their backgrounds are clean, and there are no bad rumors in the circle. However, the company has been deceiving young men and women to sign contracts by threatening them for more than ten years.

The contract will stipulate high liquidated damages. Media companies create stars by sending them to participate in competitions. This star-making method is simple, crude and inexpensive. For employees who can accumulate fame, they will then be given resources to make them more famous.

But the profit sharing is very unfair. The company takes more than 90% of the money earned by employees, and employees must pay a high penalty if they want to terminate the contract. Those who fail to become famous are even worse off. If they want to find another way out, they can only terminate the contract, but they have to pay a penalty for termination. In total, they don’t earn anything, and they lose everything.”

Fu Zhen raised his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "You are not in this circle, so you don't know. This method is quite common in brokerage companies. Especially for some small brokerage companies, if you look at the annual report, the rate of return is frighteningly high. This is already an unspoken rule in the industry. This does not prove anything. What is suspicious is that they have been doing this for so many years, but there has not been a scandal."

Bai Lang nodded when he heard this. "That's right. Over the past decade or so, they have signed contracts with tens of thousands of idols. There are only a few dozen who have become popular, first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier idols combined. This shows that a large number of victims are facing high termination fees. With such a large base, no news has been revealed. This is very abnormal."

Other companies have at least a few big lawsuits every year, but this media company has no negative news at all, which is abnormal in itself.

"If I hadn't saved Chen Nuonuo by accident this time, we might not have realized that something was wrong with this company. Brother Fu, take a look. This is the list of people who signed contracts with this company. I checked and found that one-third of them had their accounts cancelled. Isn't that scary?"

Canceling a household registration means that the person is missing or dead.

Over the past decade, two to three thousand people have gone missing or died, averaging more than a hundred people per year.

This is a huge number, but what is surprising is that there was not even a single news about this company in the society before they noticed it.

How is this possible? How powerful must the person behind this be to be able to cover up such a big thing?

Fu Zhen looked at the marked lists and asked Bai Lang after a while, "Is this all you can dig out?"

Bai Lang nodded. "This is the information that can only be retrieved as Chen Nuonuo's attorney. I have been to that media company two or three times, and was turned away every time. The other party was very strong and said that they didn't care whether we sue or not. They were sure that nothing would happen to them."

Fu Zhenzhuo tapped his fingers on the table and said after a moment, "How about this, I'll arrange for a few people to go to their company to apply for a job. Only by going deep into the tiger's den can we see more secrets."

Bai Lang was stunned. "Brother Fu, this is a dangerous place. If ordinary people go in, they might..."

Fu Zhen smiled and said, "Of course we won't let ordinary people go."

Bai Lang became interested. "Let Du Xiang bring people in? I heard that she handed in her resignation to you some time ago, saying that the world is so big and she wants to see it. Can you still ask her to go?"

Fu Zhen said, "She loves to punish evil and promote good in her life. As long as she knows that this media company is weird, she will go to find out the truth without me saying anything. I will arrange bodyguards to ensure her safety at all times."
