Su Ran flew back to Shengzhou the next morning.

Ning Xi had something to do and couldn't come to pick her up, so Su Ran and He Tong took a taxi back to the studio.

The studio has two floors, the first floor is over 100 square meters, and there is also a duty room downstairs.

"He Tong, just live in the duty room for a few days to get by. In half a month, the lease of the staff apartment will expire, and you can move in then." Su Ran took He Tong to the duty room, a ten-square-meter room.

She became famous early and used all the money she earned in the early years to buy houses. At that time, housing prices were not so high, so she bought quite a few properties, including one for herself, one for her employees, one for her grandparents, and some for storing readers' letters and gifts. As a result, housing prices have skyrocketed in recent years, so it was an unintentional move that made her money.

However, my grandparents refused to come, saying that they were used to the climate in the south and the north was too dry. Three years ago, the studio was disbanded and all the employees left. Ning Xi rented out several apartments for the employees, and now it was time to take them back.

Su Ran pushed open the door of the duty room and said, "Although this place is small, it has everything... uh..."

Didn't I ask Auntie to clean up the duty room after Ning Xi came back? But it's all dusty.

"I'm sorry, Ning Xi may have forgotten to ask Auntie to clean up." Su Ran said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I'll clean it up, it'll be done soon." He Tong put down his bag, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work.

Originally, the filming was over and the task assigned to him by the captain was completed, but after getting along with her for a few months, he really felt that his sister-in-law was a good person. Now that his sister-in-law wanted to make a comeback and was short of manpower, he decided to stay and work with his sister-in-law, being a driver, a bodyguard, an errand runner, and anything else.

"I'll do it too." Su Ran was embarrassed to let He Tong do it alone.

"No, sister-in-law, you take a rest, I can do it by myself. When I was in the army, I was very good at housekeeping." He Tong said proudly. Although he could not get advanced in other projects, he was definitely the best in their special forces team in housekeeping.

"Okay, then you work harder, I'll be out for a while." Su Ran didn't compete with him for work. Men who have served in the army might be more hardworking.

Su Ran went to a nearby shopping mall and bought some daily necessities. Just as she walked into the studio, Ning Xi came back in her newly refurbished BMW.

"Xiao Susu, I'm so sorry. I was so busy when I came back that I forgot to clean the room." Ning Xi apologized.

"It's okay. He Tong is packing up. You said you were going to meet an important client this morning. Who was that client?"

Ning Xi's eyebrows immediately danced with joy: "I was told that your luck has changed, Xiao Susu. We just accepted an endorsement from a car brand, and now an internationally renowned clothing brand has come to us for endorsement. Although it has not been finalized yet, there is great hope. I just went to meet Mr. Aiken, the executive vice president of this brand, and we had a very pleasant conversation. He said that his brand wanted to invite you to be the spokesperson three years ago, but unfortunately something unexpected happened. He thinks now is the best time for both parties to cooperate."

Su Ran was also very happy. She had been reluctant to take on endorsements in the past because she didn't want to schedule her work schedule too full and have no time to learn and study her acting skills. But it was different now. She wanted to set up an angel fund and needed money. It didn't matter if she could take on a few suitable endorsements.

"Then I'll leave this important task to you!" Su Ran said with a smile.

"No problem, leave it to me, I can definitely get it." Ning Xi patted his chest and promised.

Su Ran's cell phone was ringing. Su Ran quickly took out her phone from her bag. When she saw that it was an incoming call, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. Every time her phone rang, she hoped it was a call from Instructor Han.

However, this person is also very important, so Su Ran answered the phone.

"Hey, Sister Su Ran, when are you going back to Shengzhou?"

"Yu Li, I'm in Shengzhou. I just came back today."

"Great, when are you free?"

"All are available today. Are there any results from the investigation?" Su Ran heard Yu Li's excited tone and thought there must be good news.

"Let's meet and talk! I'll be over now. Are you still in the studio? I'll be there in about half an hour."

"Okay, let's have lunch together and talk while we eat."

Su Ran hung up the phone and said to Ning Xi, "Yu Li will be here in half an hour. The investigation should have produced some results."

"This girl, there has been no news for more than three months. I thought she had forgotten about it!" Ning Xi was quite surprised. To be honest, she really didn't have any hope for Li.

In half an hour, He Tong's temporary housing was tidied up and looked brand new, and it was finally habitable.

Yu Li arrived on time.

With a few clicks, a stack of photos and materials were placed on the table, and Yu Li began to report the results of her investigation over the past few months.

"It took a lot of effort to get this information, but it's all thanks to my master, my master..."

"Who is your master?" Ning Xi couldn't help but ask. An old man? Is there a very old entertainment reporter

"Ahem, it's the famous Master Wei!"

"Well… "

Su Ran and Ning Xi looked at each other. It seemed that Mr. Wei was not a reporter for Entertainment Weekly, so how could he be Yu Li's master

He Tong, an outsider, has also heard of Master Wei's name: "Wow! This guy is very powerful. It seems that as long as he wants to dig you out, he can dig you out from all your ancestors."

Yu Li raised her eyebrows proudly, as if to say, now you know how powerful my background is!

"Let's get back to the point. Didn't your 72 Hours crew hold a press conference last time? Sister Su Ran responded to the donation fraud for the first time. I took the opportunity to spread the news in front of Master, and my Master became a little interested in the matter. He gave me the resources he had and asked me to investigate. But don't worry, the results of the investigation are all here. I haven't shown them to Master yet. We should abide by the agreement. I will make it public if you agree to do so."

"First, let's talk about Zhou Kai. Three months after the incident, he bought a house. I have investigated Zhou Kai's family situation. His parents are laid-off workers and his family conditions are average. He has only been working for four years and is an accountant in your studio. I think his salary is not too high. It should not be easy to buy a house in Shengzhou. The key is this timing, which is very coincidental. I suspect that he betrayed Sister Su Ran in exchange for someone's help."

"Secondly, Zhou Kai is now the deputy financial director of Xingchen Pictures. I heard that he was introduced by Lin Ying, who owns shares in Xingchen Pictures."

"Third..." Yu Li took out a stack of data sheets.

"These are the internal information of several online promotion companies. They are all records of slandering Sister Su Ran. The one who bought the Internet trolls from them was Tian Rong, the head of Lin Ying's public relations team. And these are the evidence that they bought the articles to slander Sister Su Ran."

Ning Xi stared at the information on the table in amazement: "Yu Li, you are amazing. You can even get this."

Su Ran pondered and said, "These can only prove that Lin Ying slandered me, but it still cannot prove that she is related to the donation fraud."
