Chapter 143: 143 I just like to see people kneel down
Chen Beini panicked when she heard the news. She had prepared herself to come clean and had decided to face all the consequences, but now the company was having second thoughts. The team stated that the company had put a lot of effort into cultivating Chen Beini, ensuring that every step was secure and without error. Therefore, anything with too much risk was simply out of the question for them.
However, such actions would only ignite the wrath of the Combat Group fans.
The more Chen Beini thought about it, the more something felt off, so she went to knock on Shi Lan’s door.
At that moment, Shi Lan was planning to chat with her scumbag man on WeChat, but since Chen Beini had shown up, she closed her phone to listen to Chen Beini’s woes first.
Shi Lan listened to Chen Beini’s story with some effort and roughly understood the team’s plan, then she couldn’t help but laugh to herself. So, this was why Huahai could become an industry leader in such a short time. Because the entertainment industry is essentially venture capital.
Not seeing this, yet wanting to operate a star business? And where on earth did Chen Beini’s team get the confidence that they could control the Combat Group?
“I want to confess,” said Chen Beini, looking at Shi Lan, “I don’t want to leave myself with such a huge hidden danger. I’m scared.”
“You know the fearsome nature of the Combat Group now?”
Chen Beini nodded with tears in her eyes. She had carefully reviewed the materials of the Combat Group. In the past, she had always thought that they were just photoshopped images, mocking a male artist’s size, or perhaps cyberbullying other artists, but these past two days, she had carefully examined the Combat Group’s folders. There were many dark corners in them, and even plans on how to stalk, intimidate, and chase after celebrities.
“Is there any room for negotiation with the company?”
Chen Beini shook her head again: “I argued for an hour just now, to no avail, and the team has also taken control of my social media.”
“Alright, I’ll give you a way out. Since the team doesn’t agree with this, it’s going to be a little more complicated, but actually, it’s quite manageable. You record an apology video in the hotel and pay out of your own pocket, whether it’s one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, to to charity on behalf of the Alliance’s thirteen artists as atonement for the Combat Group. This is you taking responsibility for them. Everything else remains the same. In this way, neither the Alliance’s thirteen companies nor the company team can fault you, after all, you didn’t spend the company’s money.”
After hearing this, Chen Beini felt like kneeling before the boss again.
“What about you? Don’t you want compensation?”
Shi Lan snorted coldly, disdainfully, “I just like watching people kneel.”
“Should I contact the thirteen artists of the Alliance first?”
“Contact the artists for what? Just directly contact the charity organization and in their names. When doing things in the entertainment circle, whether you want to be high-profile or low-profile, always act first, so nobody can catch your scandal.”
After listening, Chen Beini took out her phone to take note of the key points, then looked at Shi Lan with a pitiful gaze, asking, “After I contact the charity, I’ll record the video. Can you help me check it?”
Miss Shi was actually very tired.
She thought her date with Mr. Yan would have been over by now, but if Chen Beini messed up, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for her?
“Okay, I have your number,” Chen Beini said.
“No, you don’t. I changed it,” Shi Lan said, “to avoid stupid harassments.”
As for who the stupid one was, both of them knew very well.
“I won’t give your number out to just anyone.”
Now, all Chen Beini felt towards Shi Lan was admiration.
