Chapter 655 - 655 613 Grand Ambitions

655: Chapter 613: Grand Ambitions 655: Chapter 613: Grand Ambitions In the press conference hall on the first floor of the Imperial Entertainment Company, journalists from nearly all of Hong Kong’s media outlets filled the seats.

Today was the second day since Wanchun Entertainment had gone bankrupt, and Imperial City’s decision to hold a press conference at this time was obviously quite calculated.

“Hey, why did you come so early, kid?”

“For such big news, of course I had to get a good spot, unlike you who were still sleeping at home.”

“Cut the chit-chat, do you have any inside information?

Give me a heads-up in advance.”

“What I heard is that this press conference is a sign of Imperial City formally declaring war on the other big players!”

“Imperial City is pretty bold, huh?

In such a short time, first they bring Wang Baizhi over from Malaysia, then they shoot her to fame, and now they dare to openly challenge the other companies.”

“These things have always been happening behind the scenes.

It was only a matter of time before Imperial City made a move against the interests of the big names.

What better opportunity than to step forward when Wanchun has collapsed?”

“That’s true.

It seems like Lady Luck is also helping Imperial City.

By the way, I heard that Wanchun terminated a lot of their artists’ contracts, and they still owe a lot of them their pay.

Do you think Imperial City will poach some of them?”

“If they didn’t poach, that’d be strange.

Imperial City has only got Wang Baizhi right now; can they depend on her forever?

Here they come!”

“…”

The group of journalists stopped their whispering and began aiming their cameras at the podium, furiously clicking away.

Jiang Fengqin, dressed in a dignified and professional ladies’ suit, took her seat in the center of the podium, with the always-intellectually dressed Zhang Xinran by her side.

“Thank you all, friends from the media, for gracing Imperial Entertainment’s press conference,” Jiang Fengqin said with a smile to all the journalists.

“May I ask General Manager Jiang, what is your viewpoint on the bankruptcy of Wanchun Entertainment?” a sly journalist immediately threw out the question during a lull.

Jiang Fengqin smiled somewhat helplessly and said, “What I want to say is, Imperial City feels profound sorrow for the fall of a peer.

At the same time, it’s a reminder to ourselves that we must always be in good shape to sustain ourselves for the long term.”

“General Manager Jiang, there are rumors that Imperial Entertainment has made a big move to poach artists from Wanchun’s roster.

Is this true?” another journalist quickly asked.

Jiang Fengqin nodded unabashedly and said, “That’s correct.

And today’s press conference is actually to introduce to you the new member of Imperial Entertainment: please welcome Miss Huang Yuling!” With that, she turned and clapped her hands to welcome Huang Yuling.

Huang Yuling, dressed in a simple Givenchy outfit, appeared at the press event, waving at the journalists with a soft smile on her face, prompting another frenzy of camera shutters clicking non-stop.

Under Jiang Fengqin’s training over a period of time, Huang Yuling had become much more subdued, tempering her domineering attitude and adding a touch of enchanting charm.

Gracefully sitting down at the podium after shaking hands with Jiang Fengqin, Huang Yuling immediately faced tough questioning from the journalists, “Miss Huang, your former employer Wanchun has just collapsed, and now you’ve thrown yourself into the arms of Imperial City.

Isn’t this a bit too much?”

“General Manager Jiang, you just mentioned feeling sad about the downfall of a peer.

Now that the body is not yet cold, Imperial City has already started poaching.

Is this your idea of sorrow?”

Jiang Fengqin was well-prepared to deal with the media, “Thank you for your questions.

I think I can answer both questions together.” She picked up a sheet of paper from the table and then displayed it to all the journalists, “Please take a look, this is a statement of all the movies that Miss Huang Yuling has filmed over the past three years, the sales of recorded albums, and her contract with Wanchun Entertainment.”

After a flurry of flashes, another journalist asked, “General Manager Jiang, what does this prove?”

“Please look here,” Jiang Fengqin was waiting for this question and pointed at the bottom right of the paper, saying, “Here is the settlement, negative two hundred and fifty-three thousand seven hundred Hong Kong Dollars.

This means that even after contributing so much to Wanchun in these three years, Wanchun Entertainment still owes Miss Huang Yuling over two hundred and fifty thousand.

Please look at this,” Jiang Fengqin immediately showed another paper to the crowd, “This is a three-way agreement reached between Imperial Entertainment, Wanchun Entertainment, and Miss Huang Yuling.

As you can clearly see, Imperial Entertainment has taken over all the debts owed to Miss Huang Yuling, including those from Wanchun.”

“Wuu wuu wuu…

Uh huh…”

Just as Jiang Fengqin finished speaking, Huang Yuling, sitting by her side, suddenly burst into tears, propping herself on the table and wiping under her eyes with a handkerchief.

“Miss Huang Yuling is crying!”

“She must be too moved, Imperial City even took on her debt of over two hundred thousand.”

“Perhaps she’s getting emotional recalling her miserable past at Wanchun.”

“…”

A throng of entertainment reporters started to fully unleash their imagination, searching for the most suitable explanation for Huang Yuling’s trembling sobs, with their cameras never stopping…

Jiang Fengqin was fully aware that this press conference was a tasting session she had arranged for Liu Hun, to sample the fruits of her efforts over this period…

“It seems that Miss Huang Yuling is experiencing some emotional fluctuations,” Jiang Fengqin explained to all the reporters, “After all, everyone works hard to earn money.

When you’ve put in the effort and don’t get the reward, it must be quite distressing.” She naturally reached out and appeared to comfortingly pat Huang Yuling’s thigh.

“Are you comfortable?

Do you really want to let it out?

Let it out in front of all the reporters, think about how thrilling that is, hm?

No one knows you’re being toyed with, let them see the expression on your shameless face at this moment!” Jiang Fengqin whispered into Huang Yuling’s ear, pretending to offer consolation.

“Wuu wuu wuu…

Ah…” Huang Yuling whimpered in a low voice, then suddenly let out a loud yell.

Jiang Fengqin didn’t dare to go too far and immediately embraced Huang Yuling in her arms.

“Wanchun Entertainment’s former stars shine anew, recalling the unspeakable bitterness of the past.”

“Huang Yuling breaks down in tears on-site, soothed in the arms of her new patron.”

“Imperial Entertainment takes on debts, starlet’s grateful crying melts hearts.”

“…”

It seemed like it was time to properly battle it out, and Liu Hun couldn’t help but start thinking.

“Ding ding ding…

ding ding ding…” A ringing phone interrupted Liu Hun’s thoughts.

“Who is it?” asked Liu Hun as he answered the call.

“It’s me, Fengqin.

Liu, brother, I’ve asked a lot of people and used many methods, but we still haven’t found Director Du Feng.

His family doesn’t have any news either; they’ve already reported it to the police,” Jiang Fengqin said from the other end of the phone.

“What?

You mean Director Du Feng has disappeared?” Liu Hun asked in surprise.

After acquiring Xinghong and Wanchun’s collapse, his first thought was of Director Du Feng.

He had immediately had Jiang Fengqin arrange a meeting with the director, but he had not expected this news in return.

“Yes!

The police have already started their investigation, but due to the family’s request, the media haven’t been alerted yet,” Jiang Fengqin said over the phone.

“Alright, I understand.

You’ve worked hard,” Liu Hun hung up the phone, but as soon as he put the receiver down, the phone rang again.

“Ding ding ding…

ding ding ding…”

“Hello!” Liu Hun picked up the phone again.

“Liu, brother, it’s me, Zhong Xiao,” Zhong Xiao’s voice came from the other end.

Zhong Xiao’s sudden call surprised Liu Hun, “What’s up, Zhong Xiao?”

“Liu, brother, we got some information while we were hanging out in Tsim Sha Tsui,” Zhong Xiao said on the phone.

“What information?” Liu Hun tensed up immediately because since he had moved Zhong Xiao to Hong Kong, he had placed him right on the border between Xinghong and Xingdong’s territories, and it had taken a lot of effort to get him established there.

Hopefully, it wasn’t any new trouble.

“One of my guys, a grunt from Xinghong who was at the casino, heard some news.

He said that Xingdong’s guys took away a female star and a director to film a live explicit movie,” Zhong Xiao said on the phone, then added, “Fengqin has been gathering information on Director Du Feng recently, so I had my guys keep an ear out.”

“Good job.

Where are you now?

Don’t do anything rash, wait for me to get there.” After speaking, Liu Hun hung up and left the headquarters of Imperial City Entertainment, driving directly to Tsim Sha Tsui.
