The following day, Hayden first visited the Frosts before delving into the issues surrounding the review of 'Nirvana and Rebirth'.
He also reached out to Zoren and Liam to set up dinner for the evening.
Having the right connections made this investigation relatively simple.
By early afternoon, Hayden had gathered solid information and informed Violeta, "The review hasn't failed. There's been a complaint, and they're in the process of verifying it."
"A complaint?" Violeta was startled.
Who made a complaint?
"Where did that come from? What's the current status? Is there a risk of failing the review?"
"They're just dealing with the complaint now. Once that's resolved, it should pass."
Violeta took a moment to absorb the news. "Alright, I understand. Thanks for checking on it."
Hayden responded, "No problem. I'll monitor the situation. I'll send you the address for tonight's dinner. Zoren and Liam will be there. You just need to show up."
"Alright."
After ending the call, Violeta felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.
She had a strong suspicion about who might have lodged the complaint.
Nobody apart from Zelena would resort to such petty tactics.
Only Violeta and Zelena were aware of the potential negative impact of 'Nirvana and Rebirth'.
Fortunately, the submitted version was a thoroughly edited, clean version.
Although she wasn't sure what Zelena had claimed in the complaint, it was clearly intended to be obstructive.
The longer the review took, the more it suggested that the clean version had no issues. Otherwise, the show would have been rejected by now.
Eugene was taken aback by Violeta's political connections.
"Beauty, who did you ask for help? You got results so quickly."
Violeta set her phone down. "An old university friend, a senior."
Eugene commented, "Wow, he must be quite well-placed to get information so swiftly. He must hold a significant position."
