Chen Jincheng was a little baffled by what Sister Hong said. "What’s going on?"
’I haven’t offended anyone recently, have I?’
’Why would soone be trying to torpedo my career?’
Sister Hong explained, "It’s about Wang Qiqi. Soone suddenly posted a rumor online saying she signed with Second-Life Star because she slept with you to get the contract. The post claims she’s going to use this connection to climb the ladder."
"Huh?" Chen Jincheng was even more baffled. "Whoever started this rumor must have a grudge against Wang Qiqi, right? It looks like it’s aid at for sleeping with her, but in reality, the best way for to prove my innocence would be to not promote her at all."
Sister Hong nodded. "That’s right. There’s also a sar video about her, saying that at another MCN, she tried to sleep with the boss to get a contract, was discovered by his wife, and ended up getting into a physical fight with her."
As she spoke, she handed her phone to Chen Jincheng.
The video indeed showed two won wrestling with each other. One of them was Jiang Qiqi.
Sister Hong frowned. "Boss, it looks like you’ve really been taken in by a scheming woman this ti. You signed soone you shouldn’t have. This is what I ant about you being so unprincipled!"
"How am I being unprincipled now?" Chen Jincheng was speechless. However, his mind was clear. "It’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s fake online. You can’t just believe one side of the story. At the very least, we should give the girl a chance to explain herself. Call her in."
He’d seen plenty of situations like this in his past life. There were countless cases with sudden, unexpected reversals.
Take the case of a certain Huijun and several other female influencers who accused their boss of sexual harassnt. Just when public opinion was on their side, the story was suddenly flipped on its head. It turned out she had just gotten famous, beco greedy, and wanted to break her contract, so she slandered her boss.
Even after being ordered by the court to pay damages, she calmly fild videos and live-stread for cash grabs until her account was finally banned.
Therefore, he wasn’t going to be stupid enough to be convinced by a few sentences online and a clip of two people fighting.
Besides, the video of the two won fighting was clearly edited, with the beginning and end cut off.
Sister Hong nodded and left the office to find Wang Qiqi.
anwhile, Wang Qiqi had also seen the videos about her circulating online.
She never imagined that right after signing with Second-Life Star, just when it seed she had a chance to beco the new ’Miss Cheng’, a situation like this would suddenly blow up online.
She noticed the other employees at Second-Life Star were giving her strange, scrutinizing looks.
Just then, she saw Sister Hong approaching and hurriedly greeted her, "Sister Hong."
"The boss wants to see you. Co with to his office," Sister Hong said simply before turning and walking back toward the office.
Seeing this, Wang Qiqi grew even more nervous.
She knew the boss must want to see her about the online rumors.
Chen Jincheng waited in his office for a short while before Sister Hong brought Wang Qiqi in. The young woman’s eyes were already a little red.
He imdiately pulled up the young woman’s employee information:
Na: Wang Qi
Loyalty: 75
Status: This feeling of being falsely accused is awful. I feel so wronged I’m about to break down. The boss will never believe !
After reading her status, Chen Jincheng understood. It seed the young woman had indeed been wronged.
He asked her, "You’ve seen the things online?"
"Yes." Wang Qiqi nodded lightly.
Chen Jincheng continued, "Then tell about it. I want to know what really happened."
Hearing this, Wang Qiqi said in a rush, "It was Company CYH. I did go there for an interview. Their boss, Hu Zhicong, is ugly and short, and he was being handsy with . He was hinting that he could make famous and stuff, but he’s so ugly and short, there’s no way I would be willing!"
Xing suddenly interjected, "So, if you et a handso one, you’ll throw yourself at him, is that it?"
"..." Wang Qiqi was at a loss for words.
Chen Jincheng shot his secretary a glare.
However, when he heard the na Company CYH, he couldn’t help but sneer.
’So this world has that trash company too.’
In the other world, plenty of MCNs had imploded spectacularly, with their bosses even ending up in prison.
Company CYH was one of them.
The company had gotten onto Tiao Yin very early, catching the trend at just the right ti. It seized the initial opportunity to grow, even securing capital investnt. By 2018, it was already a 3-star Guild.
Unfortunately, a pig that flies in a whirlwind will also be dashed to the ground.
With capital investnt, instead of focusing on developing content, Company CYH focused on exploiting its signed talent. For example, contract terms started at 10 or 15 years, and their share of the profits was outrageously low.
Any influencer who had been in the business for a while knew not to sign with Company CYH.
Everyone knew it was a trap.
So, the company specialized in trapping newcors, especially those desperate to beco influencers who would sign on the dotted line after a bit of sweet-talking.
After a while, when these people could no longer stand the exploitation and wanted to terminate their contracts, the real trap would be sprung.
It was just like that one celebrity in the entertainnt industry, the one who, having been caught in the rain herself, still insisted on tearing up other people’s umbrellas. She started a company and made another star famous. After he earned the company 30 million, he couldn’t stand the exploitation anymore. But to leave, he was told he had to pay the company 40 million in damages.
In other words, not only did he work for them for free without earning a single cent, but he also had to pay the company 10 million out of his own pocket.
That was the real trap.
Company CYH played the exact sa ga. If an influencer wanted to break their contract, they’d have to pay 300,000 even if they hadn’t earned any money. If they’d earned 500,000, they’d have to pay 3 million or even 5 million.
Faced with this situation, you either had to grit your teeth, pay the damages, and leave, or you had to swallow your anger and continue to endure the exploitation for over a decade.
As for why Company CYH ultimately imploded and its boss ended up in prison, the biggest reason was that the country’s laws do not support such practices.
