“Dismissed!”

Wu Jie, with a stern brow and cold eyes, bellowed loudly, “What’s the matter?

Can’t understand Chinese anymore, is that it?”

These words instantly threw everyone in the hall into a panic.

Dismissed?

If all the crews were to be dismissed, then what would everyone eat or drink?

The problems plaguing Great Tang Culture Media under Wang Taixiong’s management were too numerous and complicated.

When it would be cleared of debt, reorganized, and bought back to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group was anybody’s guess.

Ten days?

A month?

When it might be bought back was utterly uncertain.

Moreover, everyone in the hall had already made fools of themselves in front of Wu Jie.

Perhaps they’d be fired during the cleanup and reorganization process.

So…

None of them could afford to wait, let alone provoke anyone!

To the group, to Wu Jie, these people were disposable.

The entertainment industry was awash in talent; they were not irreplaceable, and with money, anything was possible.

But for these individuals, once they left this company, this film city, they’d be starting from scratch elsewhere.

Who didn’t know how hard jobs were to come by these days?

For a moment,

Everyone was thrown into turmoil.

Initially, they thought Wu Jie seated on the dragon throne was quite humorous, almost clownish.

But now?

Who the hell could laugh anymore?

Although not an emperor, he exuded the majestic air of one!

He might not control their life and death, but he could certainly dominate their livelihood and future prospects!

Not making money, not being able to provide for the family, wasn’t that also akin to controlling life and death?

Harmless in appearance, yet fierce and intimidating in reality!

Bai Fengling, who was closest to Wu Jie, felt the most embarrassed.

As a performer, she understood and empathized with everyone’s thoughts and feelings.

Making money was hard.

Of course, everyone wanted to keep their crews and start shooting as soon as possible, as work was the only way to earn money.

This idle downtime was difficult for anyone.

Yet, from Wu Jie’s perspective, these people’s inconsistency was infuriating.

One moment there’s only a lack of money, the next, there are too many problems.

When Wu Jie got angry, suddenly there were no problems at all.

Wasn’t such questioning a mockery?

Wu Jie, as a senior executive of the group, was tasked with organizing the various crews to start work swiftly.

What the hell!

With differing responses back and forth, how could Wu Jie make any decisions?

It was like inviting someone to eat: one moment they’re not hungry, the next they want this and that, and when upset, they claim to be not hungry again.

Wouldn’t anyone be angry in such a situation?

Bai Fengling, looking at the eight drama crew leaders with their inconsistent statements, truly wished she could kick them all out!

Taking a deep breath and clenching her teeth, she turned her head and tried to maintain a calm smile.

“Mr.

Wu, let’s not get angry for now, may I say a few words?”

Wu Jie, with eyes slightly narrowed, grunted quietly in response.

Bowing slightly in acknowledgment, Bai Fengling turned around.

The smile vanished in an instant.

“Is this fun for you?

Having a good time, are you?”

“Mr.

Wu is representing the group in asking about your difficulties, and you respond with such a lackadaisical attitude?”

“What, none of you want to start work?

Don’t want to shoot anymore?”

Bai Fengling, sweeping her cold gaze over them, sneered, “I don’t think so!

If you didn’t want to work, you wouldn’t have waited until today.”

“You all lack respect for Mr.

Wu, so why should he respect you?

Are you all indispensable talents?”

“Earning a living is tough enough outside, you’re not three-year-olds anymore, so why can’t you speak and act with a bit of discretion?”

“Do you really think that just because you’re in the entertainment industry, you can entertain yourselves at the expense of others?”

Raising her hand towards the entrance of the hall, Bai Fengling’s tone was icy:

“Go ahead, everyone!

Staying here is truly beneath your talents!”

“Besides, those who don’t want to work, who have grievances, who don’t want to follow orders, the door’s not closed.

If you want to leave, then hurry up and leave!”

As soon as these words were uttered, the expressions of the eight managers standing turned complex, and they instantly regretted what they had done.

The others naturally became as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to lift their heads and look at Wu Jie and Bai Fengling.

“All of you are just standing there not moving, right?

Fine!

Then Mr.

Wu and I will leave, and you all can do as you please!”

“After all, the company has not yet entered the bankruptcy liquidation process and hasn’t been repurchased by the group; your boss is still Wang Taixiong!”

“If you want to shoot films and have a meal, go find him in the detention center!”

Bai Fengling’s tone suddenly became louder, and she was quite displeased.

She turned her head to glance at Wu Jie, who had already risen from the dragon chair, and the two descended the steps, preparing to leave the Yangxin Hall.

At that moment, everyone panicked.

Those who had not spoken cursed the eight crew chiefs internally.

And the eight of them were naturally filled with deep regret.

“Don’t go, Mr.

Wu!

Miss Bai!”

“I was wrong!

I was really wrong!

I can walk away myself, just please don’t ignore the crew!”

“The others are innocent; it was us who spoke improperly, who disrespected others!

Please give everyone a meal to eat!”

“Wang Taixiong can’t even save himself, how can we count on him?”

“Mr.

Wu, I beg you!

Give everyone a way to survive!”

“The others in the crew are innocent!

Please spare them!”

…

One by one, the managers gathered around excitedly, trying to block the path of Wu Jie and Bai Fengling.

And the other people in the hall also stood up and crowded around.

Alright then!

Now there was no way out, completely blocked.

Not only that, but the constant chatter of everyone was almost deafening.

“Mr.

Wu, we can’t go without income!

We can barely afford to eat!”

“Before the company was acquired, we were at least official employees of the group; if not for merit, then for our hardships!”

“Mr.

Wu, you come from a common background; you should understand our difficulties, right?

Give us a way out, please!”

“If we can’t shoot the film and there’s no income, we can’t even afford the mortgage.

Life is truly unbearable!”

“Miss Bai, you’re an actor in our group; you’ve read the script!

Our film is bound to be a hit once it’s released!”

“The movie our crew wants to make isn’t bad, either!

With just one or two million, we can make it happen, and it’s sure to make a profit!”

…

Noisy!

Stifling!

Agitated!

Panicked!

Wu Jie saw the expressions of everyone and could understand their feelings.

Raising his hand to point outside the hall, he shouted,

“Out!

Everyone out!”

“After ten minutes, by the crew units, discuss among yourselves and form an orderly line to come inside!”

“I’ll give each crew ten minutes to give me a reason why the film must be shot and an accurate budget!”

“Whoever the hell dares to mess around again, don’t blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone!”

At Wu Jie’s command, everyone hurriedly left the hall without dallying.

The hall that had been noisy and chaotic was now silent in an instant.

However, the courtyard outside the hall became incredibly lively.

The different crews gathered in groups to discuss; it was practically a battle for survival.

Bai Fengling also let out a silent sigh of relief within the hall.

Thank goodness!

Wu Jie had not left in anger; otherwise, the situation would have truly been irreparable.

“As I’m also a member of one of the crews, I should go out and join the discussion too!”

Bai Fengling said, ready to leave.

Wu Jie snorted with a laugh, “Why do you need to discuss anything?

Whichever crew you want to keep, you have the final say!

All I care about is the money!”

Bai Fengling replied with a surprised smile, “Really?

Aren’t you afraid I’ll engage in nepotism and fraud?”

“If you want to joke with your own future, I can’t stop you!” Wu Jie lit a cigarette and squinted at Bai Fengling,

“But you also need to be prepared; the ten billion I spoke of might not materialize at all!

I can’t afford to waste my wife’s money.”

Bai Fengling asked anxiously, “Why?

Are you not even going to fund the crew I’m with?”

“Mr.

Wu, although it’s inevitable to shoot some flops, resulting in wasted efforts, we don’t need to be so absolute about it, do we?”

“Everyone depends on filming to make a living; if you don’t provide funding, how is that different from directly firing everyone?”

“If you have other conditions, just state them!

Even if you want female actors to accompany you, I absolutely won’t tell President Tang!”
