Chapter 34: Chapter 34: You Can Also Not Be an Artist of Star Entertainment
The trio of pressing questions was uttered in a confrontational manner, the youth’s originally gentle facial features now overlaid with a clear chill by the radiant sunlight, further highlighting his bursting vigor.
Shangguan Yunli secretly sweated for him.
This naive kid, really like a calf unafraid of tigers, thinking this would awaken Tingshen’s conscience? Wishful thinking.
Bo Tingshen observed the youth before him.
Eyebrows like sharp swords, eyes like cold stars, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Finally showing his true colors?
“The commercial value and popularity of the other three surpass you by thousands of times. Star Entertainment has the obligation to arrange resources and schedules for contracted artists but has no obligation to continue supporting artists who breach their contracts, idle away, and cause substantial negative impact to the company. As for the last part, if you don’t want to, you can also choose not to be an artist at Star Entertainment.”
If you don’t want to, you can also choose not to be an artist at Star Entertainment…
Upon hearing this, Ye Xian’s heart reached her throat.
Did he mean this as a threat?
The original host, in order to get close to Jiang Wanze, signed a servitude contract with Star Entertainment, having to earn a billion for the company within three years, otherwise, she would repay several times the penalties for breach! During this period, was the provision of resources to her merely charity? Without it, she had no right to speak and could only stay put?
How could he be so shameless!
Shangguan Yunli had predicted this outcome early on — how could a greenhorn rabbit contend with the king of lions.
“I’m saying, you two…”
Ye Xian clenched her fists tightly, “But my low commercial value and popularity, my negligence and idleness, aren’t they because I’ve been blacklisted? Without even a chance to show my face, how can I prove myself?”
“What? Did you just say you were blacklisted?”
Shangguan Yunli frowned, glanced at her, then at Bo Tingshen.
He then realized something was amiss.
Tingshen hated most those who abused power for personal gain. Who in Star Entertainment dared to blacklist an artist on their own?
“Why are you asking this? Do I need to lie to you? If I wasn’t blacklisted, do you think I’d like to beg this cold-blooded crea…”
Ye Xian stopped mid-sentence, glancing at Bo Tingshen, and did not continue.
It’s wise to maintain a bridge for future encounters.
For some reason, Bo Tingshen’s expression had already cooled.
Ye Xian was somewhat puzzled. Why was he asking this? Surely he wasn’t trying to champion her cause?
She had researched online the night before. That powerful executive in Star Entertainment who, out of anger for his daughter, had ordered her blacklisting, was named Yan Dong.
“Oh, him?” Shangguan Yunli appeared somewhat surprised, “Unexpected. He usually seems so passive and unassuming, capable of doing such a thing?”
Ye Xian heard a hint of mockery in his tone and scratched her head, “You know him too?”
Shangguan Yunli put his arm around her shoulders, gossiping, “This Yan Dong, originally just a minor manager within the Bo Group, because he had worked diligently for many years in the company, Old Master Bo, remembering his hard work even though he had no outstanding achievements, suggested he also invest in Starlight Entertainment when Tingshen established it, as a sort of security for the old man…”
Ye Xian, through the gap of his arm, saw Bo Tingshen walk to the base of a lush, leafy tree and make a phone call.
“What’s the CEO doing now?”
“Wow, now you remember to call him CEO? Weren’t you calling him Bo Tingshen, cold-blooded animal, with such enthusiasm just a moment ago?”
“…Who made him so cold and heartless?”
“That’s what you call cold-blooded? Please, what you’ve seen is just the tip of the iceberg.”
“If just the tip of the iceberg is this frightful, without any trace of humanity, completely twisted.” Ye Xian kicked a small white ball at her feet harshly, “He even made me wear that thing and take pictures for him, dream on!”
