Chapter 424: Chapter 422 I want the superstar to let people go_1

"A few days ago, Giant Star Entertainment’s account had some problems, so I could only use my personal account to transfer the salary to him."

"Not just him, I personally transferred it to several key artists in the company."

As he spoke, Lu Fan presented the evidence again.

It was clear and orderly, and every statement was true—irrefutable evidence!

Now, the reporters’ faces were almost swollen from being metaphorically slapped; they could only give awkward laughs to ease their embarrassment.

"I sincerely hope that all media friends here will not always jump to conclusions. Otherwise, getting slapped in the face like this is really painful, don’t you think so?" Xia Ningxing stood up with a smile, then unabashedly called out the people below her.

She was openly defiant, totally unreserved.

If it were any other celebrity, they might be scolded to death, but when Xia Ningxing said these words, it felt refreshingly candid!

If it weren’t for these people fabricating stories, why would an innocent girl suffer such humiliation?

"Well said!"

Friends in front of the TV almost wanted to stand up and cheer.

By this time, Xia Ningxing had already been escorted by her bodyguards and had left the scene.

Lu Fan continued to preside over the situation, "Now the truth is very clear. All the rumors out there are slanders against our Mr. Xia of Giant Star. We will certainly take legal action against those behind the scenes, and we ask our media friends to show some mercy and report the truth."

Finally, Ji Haichuan, who had been silent, also stood up and spoke, "Boss Xia is a great supervisor, and she is also an excellent talent spotter. I was originally a street dancer, but she saw at first glance that I actually had more talent in acting."

"Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I respect her deeply, am grateful to her, and regard her as my leader and senior. I hope everyone will pay more attention to our work in the future. Thank you."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone and also left the stage.

"Oh my goodness, Ji Haichuan, I’m so in love!"

"I’m in love too!"

His demeanor, earnest and admiring, set many girls’ hearts aflutter.

After the press conference, Giant Star sued Lv Shun.

In the end, the court ruled that Lv Shun must publicly apologize to Xia Ningxing, the president of Giant Star Entertainment, and compensate her for emotional distress with one hundred thousand yuan.

The movie "Tsunami" had already regained popularity because of the press conference, and with Lv Shun’s public apology, the movie’s momentum soared even higher.

In the end!

The total box office for "Tsunami" was five billion!

"Fantastic!"

Seeing this number, everyone in Giant Star Entertainment’s conference room started clapping.

Director Xu was smiling so widely he could hardly close his mouth, "Actually, when it comes down to it, we should probably thank Lv Shun. Otherwise, I estimate this movie’s peak would have been around four billion."

"You’re right," Xia Ningxing said, her face also covered with a smile.

To be honest, if it weren’t for this whole debacle, the box office for "Tsunami" should have declined day by day with time, but nobody expected it to maintain a figure not unlike the first day’s for several months in a row.

It was nothing short of a miracle for Star Shine in the film industry!

Giant Star Entertainment also made a killing, going from an unknown small company to a big player in the industry.

But as happy as she was, deep down Xia Ningxing was still quite worried about one thing.

After a moment of contemplation, she still decided to speak out, giving a precautionary warning to those present, "Now that you all have become popular, I expect there will be attempts to poach you, especially Director Xu and Ji Haichuan."

Although they were bound by contracts, to be honest, a contract is not an indenture. If one wanted to terminate the contract, the worst that could happen would be compensation for the substantial penalty. Those companies vying for them would certainly be willing to cover the compensation.

After being named, Ji Haichuan immediately stood up to declare his loyalty, "A fine steed needs a noble person to recognize its worth."

"I am an artist brought up by Mr. Xia himself. In this lifetime, I will only be an artist of Giant Star Entertainment; I will never jump ship!"

His stance was firm, and his tone even more resolute.

Although he spoke of repaying Mr. Xia’s kindness, Ji Haichuan was quite aware that deep down, he harbored special feelings for Xia Ningxing.

But now was not the time to express them.

Even though he had risen to fame, the gap between them was still too great.

Director Xu also stood up, smiling slightly as he said, "If it weren’t for Boss Xia’s generous support, where would I be today? I, Xu, am a person who knows gratitude and pays it back. I would never leave Giant Star for some minor benefits."

"Thank you, everyone. Let’s march forward together!"

Xia Ningxing raised her hand.

Then, the others also lifted their hands, stacking them on top of one another.

"March forward together!"

The four words echoed throughout the entire building of Giant Star Entertainment.

Xia Ningxing’s guess was not wrong. Companies within the industry began to undermine the foundations of Director Xu and Ji Haichuan, amongst others.

Especially Ji Haichuan—who was being poached not by anyone else but his biological father, Mr. Su of Su Entertainment.

"Ji Haichuan, you come sign with Su Entertainment. I will take care of the breach of contract penalty you owe to Giant Star Entertainment."

Mr. Su’s tone carried a commanding air.

They were all businessmen, so he was well aware of the future benefits his son could bring to the company.

"Su Zhen, you’re dreaming too beautifully." Ji Haichuan called him by his full name, his eyes filled with a mocking glint.

"You unfilial son dare to defy me!" Mr. Su had not expected his son to speak to him like this, and immediately became so angry that his whiskers bristled and his eyes bulged.

At that moment, Xia Ningxing approached, carrying a briefcase, "Well, Mr. Su, aren’t you being a bit unscrupulous? It’s one thing to poach people, but you actually came to my Giant Star to do it?"

"Isn’t that over the line?" Xia Ningxing was clearly smiling, but her eyes were decidedly cold.

"Boss Xia misunderstood; I just came to see my son," Mr. Su’s face flushed red, unwilling to admit that he had been caught trying to undermine a company right at its headquarters.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but sneer, leaving him no face, "Alright, Mr. Su, put away your pretense. I heard the conversation you just had!"

Seeing this, Mr. Su stopped pretending and got straight to the point, "Boss Xia, I want Giant Star to release someone."

Xia Ningxing did not answer him but instead looked at the man beside her, "Ji Haichuan, do you want to leave?"

"Boss Xia, I’ve already said it, without a noble person, there would be no fine steed!" His attitude was extremely determined; he would not leave!

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing could only look at Mr. Su with a slightly helpless expression, "Mr. Su, you heard that, right? My fine steed does not want to leave. I’m sorry, Mr. Su, but I really can’t help you. Please go back, or else, I can have the security personally escort you out, if that works for you!"

Her tone sounded so kind and polite, yet every word was laced with a threat.

Mr. Su was thoroughly infuriated, "Ji Haichuan! I’ll ask you one more time! Will you go or not?"
