Chapter 223: It’s up to you now, boss. Chapter 223: It’s up to you now, boss. Sun Ling replied to an email to Yilong based on the information on An Lan’s ID card, thereby smoothly passing the checkpoint.
The PR department at Yilong, seeing An Lan’s ID information, only knew she was very young, but upon seeing the name An Zhen, they did not associate it with An Lan.
Yilong was somewhat in disarray now due to Deputy General Manager Qin’s disappearance, causing various departments to share the workload, with everyone complaining.
President Gao was also furious, not knowing who to vent his anger on.
Because of one small artist, he had turned the company upside down. Who wouldn’t declare their innocence?
President Gao seemed not to realize that his protection of Deputy General Manager Qin was what led to the current situation.
Although his decisions were instructed by the board, his lack of an overarching vision, emergency handling capabilities, respect for women, and moral restraint contributed to the fallout. If his moral compass was clear, and he didn’t act petty, given Yilong’s situation, they never would have faced such a significant impact.
Blinded by rage, President Gao now intended to announce the spokesperson news on the day of the event and then release some official statements, letting An Lan see how significant she really was and whether she deserved to be the spokesperson for “Demon Journey”!
After this series of battles, Shi Lan’s secondary account rapidly gained popularity, and her fame had also increased significantly.
Tianwang Entertainment saw hope in this otherwise loss-making entity and ordered Tang Ze to establish a fan club and reoperate the trending topics, directing that if An Lan’s condition continued to improve, they could arrange some resources for a moneymaking operation.
Tang Ze, unable to defy the orders, called Shi Lan after she finished shooting and consulted, “How about we restart the fan operations? Boss, now you’ve shaken off the labels of sycophant and opportunist. Isn’t it good to ride the wave?”
“Ride the wave with Tianwang?” Shi Lan scoffed. How exploitative and vampiric the company was, was well known within the circle. “Tang Ze, I’m not afraid to let you know that the second step I planned for myself after I woke up was to break free from Tianwang’s servitude contract. You should prepare psychologically early on whether to continue collaborating with me or follow the company’s will and exploit me. I’ll wait for your reply.”
After saying this, Shi Lan hung up the phone. Tang Ze was also silent.
Now that Shi Lan had vindicated An Lan, it meant she had reached a divergence in their paths. Tang Ze had a very stable job, although unremarkable, but he had always been trusted by the company. But if he chose Shi Lan, that meant choosing a thorny path.
So, Shi Lan gave him time to think.
In reality, Shi Lan was very nervous; although she was 80 percent sure she might persuade Tang Ze, she had never faced such a choice in her past life and feared the uncertainty.
Late at night, just after ten, Tang Ze returned the call, “I’m not getting any younger, almost thirty-five. If I don’t muster the courage to venture now, I won’t have a single chance left. I will go through the motions with the company’s tasks. Let’s talk about everything after your Yilong awards ceremony, the million in prize money you get plus the money you got back from Gu Chengyu. I’ll also pitch in to completely settle your debts with the company.”
“As for the servitude contract, it’s up to you, boss.”
Hearing Tang Ze’s words, Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, “Thanks.”
“However, about you competing, don’t you plan to be upfront with Executive Yan? After all, you’re about to go on stage to receive an award soon.”
