Chapter 319: 319 Character collapsed, Falling off the horse [1 more]

Qi Yunzhao was a popular young actor under Shengshi Entertainment, holding a status akin to a top influencer today, and he was also someone that Shengshi Entertainment had personally promoted.

Many netizens had jokingly called Qi Yunzhao the "Crown Prince" of Shengshi Entertainment, a position of high status.

At first, the fans were fighting back against this "insult," but later they shamelessly accepted it and confidently believed that Qi Yunzhao was indeed the core pillar of Shengshi Entertainment.

Without Qi Yunzhao, Shengshi Entertainment would have collapsed in the entertainment circle long ago.

[Yeah, what about Sheng Ent? Look at what happened to our Crown Prince being bullied!]

[The show crew is going too far, thinking they can start floating just because they got on a global broadcasting platform? Our Yunzhao is also very popular overseas, how would you attract foreign audiences without Yunzhao?]

[Bullying Yunzhao is like provoking Sheng Ent, and provoking Sheng Ent means you’re kicking an iron board, you’re done for!]

While Qi Yunzhao’s fans were furiously cursing the show crew, Qi Yunzhao himself and his agent were in a state of shock.

"What’s going on?" the agent raised his voice, "The crew fired you, why was it made public without any prior negotiation?"

Qi Yunzhao’s forehead throbbed with veins as he cursed, "Is Ye Wanlan a fucking idiot?!"

For such a trivial matter in his private life, she went to the show crew just to get him fired?

He had already been following the shooting for a month; how would they edit it if they fired him?

And who could take his place?

"Now, the show crew is her sole decision-maker," the agent’s face turned cold. "I’ll call the company and have them handle this matter properly. Ye Wanlan won’t think of using this show to enter the entertainment industry after this!"

Shengshi Entertainment controlled a piece of the Domestic Entertainment sky; even artists from the other two major agencies wouldn’t dare to provoke Sheng Ent rashly.

Ye Wanlan had put so much effort into recording "Treasures of The Divine Land"; wasn’t it just to use this historic show as a springboard to jump into the entertainment industry and make money?

Dream on!

The agent, with a stern face, began contacting the higher-ups of Shengshi Entertainment.

After the show crew released the announcement, Ye Wanlan then handed over the surveillance footage to the young artist who had almost been violated by Qi Yunzhao.

The young woman, however, was very frightened: "Miss Ye, he has Shengshi Entertainment backing him while I... I have neither the ability nor the right to accuse him."

She was just an artist from a small company, only to face such an incident shortly after her debut.

"All your worries and anxieties will not happen," Ye Wanlan patted her shoulder and smiled slightly. "You’re talking about Sheng Ent? So, are you interested in coming to Shengshi Entertainment?"

Upon hearing these words, the girl opened her eyes wide in surprise: "What...?"

"If you want to come, I can arrange an agent for you," Ye Wanlan said indifferently. "Your agent, it’s better not to stick with them."

She took out her phone and dialed Fang Qingli’s number: "Qingli, have Shengshi Entertainment prepare an A-level contract and allocate an agent over here to take the female artist."

"Okay, Sister Lan," Fang Qingli immediately agreed. "I’ll have them get ready now. Did Sister Lan spot some good talent?"

"Mhm," Ye Wanlan smiled, "Some very good talent."

After ending the call, she passed a series of phone numbers to the young woman: "If you have any issues, contact Qingli directly. By tomorrow at the latest, someone will come to fetch you. As for breaking the contract with your current agency, you don’t need to worry about that."

The girl looked at Ye Wanlan dumbfounded, seeming alive yet her soul had been shocked beyond the skies.

This was Shengshi Entertainment!

She had never imagined that she could get an A-level contract at Shengshi Entertainment.

"Ye, Miss Ye... no no, President Ye!" the girl stammered, "You, how..."

"I just looked over your information. Although you’ve only filmed three movies since entering the industry, and the roles were small, you’ve done well in them, just lacking a proper platform," Ye Wanlan leaned in slightly, eye level with the girl, and spoke in a warm voice, "Sheng Ent welcomes an actress like you. I hope in the future, you can find your own path on the stage you love."

South City was a slow-paced city, yet it had an extremely lively nightlife.

It was only starting at nine-thirty in the evening.

Lanterns with lines of poetry hung from trees on both sides of the road.

Strolling here was like being pulled back to the Daning Prosperous Era in an instant.

Yan Tingfeng bent down to buy a handmade pinwheel from a street vendor and handed it to Ye Wanlan: "Xiao Wan seems to be in a good mood today."

"Quite good," Ye Wanlan stretched leisurely and said lightly, "I finally got rid of the last cancer in the show crew."

Yan Tingfeng blinked softly: "If you don’t like it, I can take care of it directly for you."

He didn’t like the look in Qi Yunzhao’s eyes—greedy, filled with desire, all defiling.

"What’s the point of handling it directly?" Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "The old saying goes, ’use the villains, kill the villains’. Of course, you use them when they are useful; not using them would be a waste. But a villain is always a villain. If you don’t get rid of them, who knows what big problems they might cause later on."

She had been waiting for this moment, not only to erase Qi Yunzhao from the entertainment circle but also to minimize the losses for Shengshi Entertainment.

Qi Yunzhao had first breached the contract with Shengshi Entertainment, and naturally, he would have to pay the termination fee.

Employees from the company belonging to the same bad lot as Qi Yunzhao were all cleared out during this opportunity.

"Using scoundrels to eliminate scoundrels?" Yan Tingfeng slightly narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Wan’s tactics are indeed like those of the ancient emperors."

Ye Wanlan’s expression was calm, "The Art of Sovereignty is indeed very effective."

Checks and balances.

This was the core art of an emperor.

"Let’s go." Ye Wanlan beckoned to Yan Tingfeng, "I’m in a good mood, I’ll take you out for some specialty dishes."

Yan Tingfeng’s eyes were as soft as spring water, "Okay."

The show’s crew had a good night’s sleep, while Qi Yunzhao’s team was in a complete mess.

Moreover, after the girl released the surveillance video given by Ye Wanlan, the event’s heat reached a new climax.

[Disgusting, isn’t Qi Yunzhao just blatantly robbing people? Does he think he lives in feudal ancient times?]

[Don’t insult the feudal ancient times, there were laws back then!]

[No wonder the show’s crew kicked out Qi Yunzhao, such a despicable person should not be allowed to insult history.]

However, Qi Yunzhao’s fans simply refused to believe this surveillance video.

[Before Yunzhao responds, we don’t believe what anyone says!]

[Who knows if this is a set-up, deliberately framing Yunzhao?]

But public opinion was completely against Qi Yunzhao, and he was panicking.

In the past, he had some dark history dug up, but it would soon be suppressed by his PR team.

Shengshi Entertainment had extensive connections within the circle; they just needed to notify a few media outlets, and those dark histories wouldn’t be exposed.

But now, the video had been on Weibo for a full three hours, and the views were still skyrocketing.

Under the entry #Qi Yunzhao, moral corruption#, more and more netizens were pouring in.

"What about the company?" Qi Yunzhao could no longer maintain his usual gentle and elegant facade, his face twisted in anger, "Why hasn’t the trending topic been removed, and why hasn’t anyone come out to suppress the heat for me?!"

Last year, the same thing had happened, but he wasn’t afraid at all.

Because to protect him, Shengshi Entertainment would throw a lesser artist under the company’s banner to take the heat for him.

In the age of the internet, information changed in a split second, and netizens would quickly shift their attention to the next breaking news.

"Don’t panic, Yunzhao, just calm down," his agent said, sweating profusely. "The company headquarters can’t be reached right now, something must have happened, otherwise, they would definitely help you."

"Whoosh," Qi Yunzhao turned pale, "Could it be, could other companies have made a move against Sheng Entertaiment? No way..."

"Definitely not, don’t think too much," the agent reassured him, "Let’s head straight back to headquarters and see."

The two booked the nearest flight and went to the headquarters of Sheng Entertainment.

Sheng Entertainment’s headquarters showed no difference from usual; the employees were working as normal.

"Qi Yunzhao, right." Fang Qingli glanced at him, "The big boss is free today, she knows why you’re here, and she’ll allow you to speak with her."

The big boss of Shengshi Entertainment?

Qi Yunzhao’s heart leaped.

Could it be... Quan Zhaoning, the CEO of Zhaoyan Group?!

Quan Zhaoning was a legend in the business circle, who, with the force of a woman, built her own empire, reviving the nearly bankrupt Zhaoyan Group in twenty years.

The vast entertainment empire of Sheng Entertainment was just a subsidiary of the Zhaoyan Group.

Qi Yunzhao had only seen Quan Zhaoning on TV; it wasn’t that he didn’t want to meet her, but because he wasn’t qualified yet.

After all, no matter how popular he was in the entertainment circle, he was still a star made by capital.

And Quan Zhaoning herself was capital personified.

Qi Yunzhao began to hatch little schemes in his heart. Although he heard Quan Zhaoning was very loving with her childhood sweetheart husband, what if Quan Zhaoning liked his type of fresh young meat?

At this thought, Qi Yunzhao’s heart couldn’t help but flare up with anticipation.

Fang Qingli let Qi Yunzhao into the office and then connected him with Ye Wanlan

A face Qi Yunzhao was extremely familiar with appeared on the large screen.

This face indeed deserved the term "divine beauty", even after being magnified and stretched by the screen, it was still flawless from every angle.

Ye Wanlan clasped her hands together, slowly nodded her head, and her tone was cool, "Speak."
