“No… you can’t be serious?”

“President Tang is actually going to promote me?

To manage this company?”

Wu Jie sneered in response:

“What else?

What are you doing right now?

Going on variety shows, being a judge and mentor?”

Bai Fengling suddenly realized.

“So, when you let me decide which drama groups to keep, you were actually delegating authority to me!

I… I even…”

Wu Jie curled his lips and laughed, “If you plan to continue feeling sorry for them, pouring money into any lousy show, then there’s nothing I can do but not invest a single penny!”

“The film and entertainment industry is too murky.

I’ll advise Tang Xiao to just wait for the company to go bankrupt and close down.

Anyway, after auctioning off the movie city, we’ll still get a twenty percent cut.

Plus, the earlier sale of the shares has made us billions.

That would be a very successful exit from the film industry!”

“No!

Please, don’t do this!”

Bai Fengling panicked, immediately standing up.

“If the group doesn’t come and clean up this mess, many people will be left without a livelihood!”

Wu Jie continued to smirk:

“Why should our group clean up this mess?

Why don’t you ask the jailed Wang Taixiong to clean it up?”

“Besides, you keep saying that people will starve.

The film industry is so large; without this company, they can’t find jobs?

Can’t they flexibly seek other employment?”

“To me, it seems like your selfishness is at play here!

Are you afraid that if the group completely exits the film industry, you’ll be left without support, unable to get any invitations or film offers, leaving you, too, without a livelihood?”

Bai Fengling bit her red lips tightly, speechless.

“Enough!

There’s no need to say anything.

With that attitude of yours and those thoughts, I don’t even need to listen to their reports!”

“After all, your heart is with them.

You could easily fool someone like me, who knows nothing!”

“As for whether the future movies or TV dramas become hits, that’s none of your concern, because the money has already been made!”

With that, Wu Jie left straight away.

Bai Fengling hadn’t recovered from her shock when Wu Jie had already walked out of the hall.

“Mr.

Wu!

Don’t go, Mr.

Wu!”

“I was wrong!

I really was wrong!”

“I will definitely act impartially, never abusing my personal feelings!”

…

However.

Wu Jie didn’t pay any attention at all, he walked out the door to the outside of the hall.

The drama groups that were in the middle of their discussions, everyone instantly fell silent, their gazes complicated as they looked towards Wu Jie.

“There’s no need for discussion anymore, I just remembered something!”

“The company is currently still managed by Wang Taixiong; the group only has profit-sharing rights!”

“The group neither has the capability nor the obligation to fund your films!

The film industry is too precarious, too much for us to handle, farewell!”

No sooner had he spoken than everyone was stunned.

What’s happening?

Wasn’t it said we’d each have a turn to present our case soon?

Everyone was racking their brains, trying to come up with ways to persuade Wu Jie to invest.

But now…

What on earth had happened inside the Yangxin Hall just before?

“Mr.

Wu!

Please, don’t go!”

“The group can’t just abandon us!

We’ve contributed to the group in the past!”

“Mr.

Wu, our drama group is ready.

Don’t you want to listen?

This is a movie that could easily gross over a billion!”

“Invest in our drama group, Mr.

Wu, I guarantee with my personal integrity, it will not make a loss!”

…

Everyone was in a frenzy, emotionally surrounding Wu Jie.

Meanwhile, Bai Fengling, who had been inside the hall, also hurriedly followed after him.

“Mr.

Wu!

For my sake, please give everyone a chance!”

Bai Fengling shouted loudly.

Wu Jie glanced sideways, catching a glimpse of Bai Fengling.

“I’ve already given you face, but you’re the one who doesn’t want it!”

Turning back to the people blocking his path, Wu Jie observed them.

None of them were ordinary folks.

Famous directors, screenwriters, actors…

as well as cameramen, sound engineers, makeup artists, and so on.

“Blocking my way, you don’t want to let me go, is that it?”

Wu Jie coldly swept his eyes over them: “I give you five seconds to clear out!!”

With a stern shout.

Everyone collectively lost their voice in an instant, hurriedly dispersing, not daring to block the way.

Wu Jie’s expression was dark as he strode away.

Bai Fengling saw it all and felt a deep sadness.

What a great opportunity!

Why didn’t I cherish it properly?

The chance to become a high-ranking executive at a film and television company was squandered by my own foolishness.

Sympathize with them?

Are they sympathizing with me now?

They all raced after Wu Jie, leaving her alone, squatting desolately at the entrance of the hall.

Tears, rebelliously streaming down her face.

It’s not that she felt wronged, nor did she feel bullied by Wu Jie.

She hated herself!

Why did I have to be so overly sympathetic?

Now look, the opportunity to change my fate has slipped away, and even worse, I might have offended Wu Jie and his wife.

“I’m such a fool!

I came here to rely on the Tianyuan Tang Family, I should have considered everything on behalf of Wu Jie and his wife!”

“Why?

Why did I think of helping the crew?

Just because I felt sorry for them?”

“But who pities me?”

Bai Fengling squatted on the ground, turning into a tearful figure.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After exiting the building, Wu Jie strode directly toward the Mercedes-Benz.

The many extras scattered around the shady areas of the square sprinted toward him as soon as they saw Wu Jie coming out.

“Mr.

Wu!

Is the crew starting to shoot now?”

“Thank you, Mr.

Wu, for the drinks!”

“Mr.

Wu, when will the eight crews start working?”

…

Questions flew at him, but Wu Jie did not respond.

He got into the car, started the engine, turned on the air conditioning, engaged the gear, and accelerated.

The Mercedes-Benz picked up speed with a graceful surge, soon leaving the square far behind, and those crew members who had chased after him had no chance of catching up.

However, the extras rushed over and surrounded them instead.

Anxious and desperate, everyone was eager to start filming immediately.

But who the hell has the time to answer questions?

Several directors hurriedly flew back; they wanted to find Fengling for an explanation.

However…

They didn’t see where Fengling was.

Upon inquiring, they found out that Fengling had already left through a side door of the imitation ancient palace that was well secluded.

Then, everyone completely lost their composure.

Great Tang Culture Media had become an empty shell.

Most of the lower-level staff had already jumped ship, and Wang Taixiong, along with numerous managerial personnel, had been collectively detained.

And for those who were considered external employees and temporarily contracted, they were truly ‘without a leg to stand on’ now.

Without even a place to lodge complaints, are they supposed to just wait for the company to declare bankruptcy and closure, wait for all contracts to become void?

What could they do?

Being non-official staff, they couldn’t even claim bankruptcy compensation.

For them, the only option was to wait for the company to declare bankruptcy, become free agents, and quickly look for work with other film and television companies, collaborating with other crews.

And for the extras without even temporary contracts, the situation was even worse.

As eight crews were officially facing cuts, thousands of extras had no choice but to swarm to the actors’ guild.

Hoping to get chosen by other crews, but without handsome looks for the men or beauty for the women, how would they be selected?

Even if other crews were willing to recruit some on short notice, inevitably, a large portion would be out of work for a long time.

Unless the film city suddenly saw an influx of other film and television companies with many crews and a high demand for actors.

…

People were anxious and uneasy.

All kinds of rumors were flying everywhere.

Some claimed the group wouldn’t give up, that they would rebuy the assets at a low price after the bankruptcy liquidation.

Others rumored that before Wu Jie left in anger, he had declared he would no longer venture into the film industry.

The only native Fortune Global 500 company in Tianyuan City would bid farewell to the entertainment circle forever.

There was even speculation that several listed film and television companies took special interest in the film city, ready to participate in the bankruptcy auction to bid and develop it vigorously, so there was still hope.

But no matter how many versions of the rumors, for Fengling, none mattered anymore.

Driving her second-hand BMW, Fengling left the film city in a frenzy, heading towards the city center.

She had brought it upon herself, deeply plunging into a crisis of trust.

If she didn’t save herself soon, her future looked bleak!
