"Oh, oh!" The two finally reacted, immediately lowering their heads to lay the sheets and change the duvet covers.
Jian Anning felt a bit uneasy. After all, these two were not Hong Minjun, and maybe they would talk about what had happened with the two of them. However, Yu Zexiao shook his head with a steadfast gaze, as if to imply: Leave it to me, I’ll handle it!
As they continued to change the covers, suddenly, Yu Zexiao spoke coldly from above, "Your name is Huang Xiujuan, and yours is Ke Mulan, right?"
Yu Zexiao’s normally pleasant voice now sounded icy: "If even a whisper about Anning’s hospitalization reaches the media tomorrow..."
He left the sentence unfinished, but the two of them paused suddenly!
"Starlight Entertainment should have had you sign confidentiality agreements, right? If the celebrity you’re following gets exposed by reporters, do you know how much you’d have to compensate? It’s eight percent of the celebrity’s annual income. So, if you leak my matters, do you know how much you’d have to pay?"
The two hesitated, not saying a word.
Yu Zexiao continued talking eloquently: "I know, to the media, capturing any piece of gossip about me is worth tens of thousands of yuan! If there are photos or videos as evidence, each photo adds at least another hundred thousand.
Indeed, with Yu Zexiao mentioning it, the two who were originally uninterested in leaking his private life couldn’t help but breathe more heavily.
Yu Zexiao coldly watched as the two even slowed down in their actions before quickly speaking up again.
"However..." Yu Zexiao said, his tone icy, "From the beginning of this year to now, my album sales, endorsement fees, advertising, concert revenues, along with earnings from TV shows, totaled around eighty million! At an eight percent rate, if you leak tonight’s events, not only will you have to compensate over six million in economic losses, you’d also lose this job — no, you can forget about ever surviving in this industry again! Simultaneously, Huanyu Group will spare no effort to suppress you! As long as you’re within Huaxia Country, don’t even think about finding another job. I promise, I promise!"
Even as a threat, Yu Zexiao’s voice was like clear flowing water, only frozen over. Actually, even without the threat, these two were unlikely to spread the incident—they were required to hand over their phones, cameras, and anything capable of recording or photographing when they came in.
Even if they told the media, there were guards outside, and the doors could be locked from the inside. As long as they didn’t go out, the media couldn’t do anything to them.
The two exchanged a glance, then the slightly older one looked up and said, "Mr. Yu, rest assured, we’ve all signed agreements, and Miss Hong has promised to triple our salary. We’ve been with Starlight Entertainment for a few years; we don’t care about this bit of money."
Jian Anning tugged at Yu Zexiao’s sleeve, signaling him not to make things so absolute. Sometimes, one must take a balanced approach. Yu Zexiao understood her thoughts and immediately said, "In the coming days, Anning and I might not be very available, so we’ll be relying on you both to look after things. After this period, I’ll give each of you a ’hardship fee’ of a hundred thousand."
