On the other side, at the venue of the comrcial performance, Chu Xiaoran was being interviewed by several dia outlets. The reporters were all frantically asking questions, eager to get the latest scoop.
Chu Xiaoran sat above them, answering their questions with ease and wearing a faint smile on her face. She appeared calm and unhurried, not at all like soone who had hastily called a press conference.
Xiao Zheng watched this scene with a trace of surprise because, in his eyes, Chu Xiaoran was usually a headstrong girl with a playful nature.
He had never imagined that Chu Xiaoran had this side to her.
On closer observation, one could see that although Chu Xiaoran’s face still retained a trace of immaturity, her every move was mature and poised, exuding a unique charm.
The press conference lasted about an hour before it ended. And as the reporters left, another group of people rushed forward, intent on eting with Chu Xiaoran.
It turned out they were employees from various talent agencies who, upon hearing the news, had contacted Ah Bai on one hand and driven straight to the comrcial performance venue on the other.
After all, eting in person, compared to a phone call, naturally showed more sincerity, and the chances of arranging a eting with Chu Xiaoran were greater.
Seeing this scene, Boss He imdiately panicked. If these people managed to snatch Chu Xiaoran away from him, that would be disastrous. So he elbowed his way through the crowd and shouted out loud.
The crowd quieted down and turned to look at Boss He.
Only to see Boss He wipe the sweat from his forehead and chuckle, "I think you should all go back. This comrcial performance involved our Ai Hui Agency,
and we have long been paying attention to Miss Chu Xiaoran. We plan to invest imnse resources in nurturing her. For you all to swoop in and try to steal her away seems quite inappropriate."
Although the competition between talent agencies in the country is fierce, there are still so unspoken rules, such as not poaching talents from other companies.
If soone does that, it will provoke public outrage, and the offending agency would find it difficult to continue in the business.
Of course, these unspoken rules are only superficially adhered to; behind the scenes, in the pursuit of profit, such considerations are often ignored.
However, at this mont, with many agencies present, they had to follow these rules to protect their reputation.
Therefore, many of the talent agency representatives showed a look of disappointnt on their faces, preparing to withdraw. They were secretly plotting whether to use so other thod to snatch Chu Xiaoran away.
At that mont, Chu Xiaoran, seeing this unfold, beca angry. She had not expected Boss He to be so shaless, blatantly lying about her collaboration with his agency!
Imdiately, Chu Xiaoran raised her voice, "Everyone, hold on, I have sothing to say."
Upon hearing her, the crowd instantly stopped, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Chu Xiaoran pointed at Boss He and declared, "Rest assured, everyone, I will never cooperate with the people from Ai Hui Agency. No matter what price they offer, I absolutely will not agree!"
"Hm?"
Hearing these words, everyone was stunned. The bluntness of Chu Xiaoran’s statent was rare in the entertainnt industry.
Such comnts could easily offend soone and have a significant impact.
When Boss He heard this, his entire face turned dark with both embarrassnt and rage. He had not expected Chu Xiaoran to so bluntly reject him in public!
Originally, he thought that a newcor like her, who was just starting out, would be timid, and since Ai Hui Agency was a large and powerful company within the entertainnt industry, Chu Xiaoran would surely not dare to offend it.
After he made that statent, even if Chu Xiaoran wanted to oppose him, she surely would not do so publicly but would seek to resolve the matter afterward. This would have given Boss He ti to persuade Chu Xiaoran with his thods, in which he had great confidence.
However, Chu Xiaoran had now brought things to this point, which was completely unexpected!
"Chu Xiaoran, what do you an by that?" Boss He asked coldly.
Chu Xiaoran looked at Boss He with disdain and then spoke, "I’m sure all of you here have heard about my lipsyncing incident. That didn’t happen without reason."
Then, Chu Xiaoran laid out the whole sequence of previous events.
All eyes imdiately focused on Boss He, so filled with scorn, others with contempt.
It was known that to fra an artist in such a manner would ruin Boss He’s reputation. If word got out, he would be utterly disgraced, and it was unlikely any artist would want to work with him in the future!
Boss He felt the piercing stares and beca agitated, raising his voice, "Chu Xiaoran, stop slandering . I’ll have you know that speaking carelessly can have legal consequences!"
Chu Xiaoran stood proud, "I am not afraid. The truth is right here, and we have evidence and witnesses. If you want to sue , go ahead. I would like to see who will win."
The onlookers nearby, witnessing the scene, nodded in approval; it was rare to see such a spirited newcor in the entertainnt circle. But they quickly moved on, swarming to surround Chu Xiaoran to vye for a chance to talk with her over a al,
as their companies had given explicit orders to sign Chu Xiaoran no matter what!
Boss He was abruptly left behind, standing alone and forlorn.
His face still showed anger when the ringing of his phone suddenly pierced the air. Glancing at it, he saw that it was a call from a bigwig in his company. He hurriedly answered, only to be t with a furious tirade.
"The hell, He Daniu! Are you brain-dead?! I’ve looked into it, and Chu Xiaoran, such a promising new star, and you went and sabotaged her!
And you got caught in the act! How incompetent and worthless can you be to have done this? I’m telling you, if you don’t effing apologize and win back Chu Xiaoran for today, don’t bother showing up at the company again!"
The bigwig was fuming and ranted over the phone before abruptly hanging up, without giving Boss He a chance to speak.
Holding the phone, Boss He felt like crying without tears.
He had only intended to sabotage a minor celebrity, but it had escalated to this point where he might even lose his job.
