"If it were any other artist, there wouldn’t be a problem, but this one is particularly difficult to deal with, and they’re at the peak of their popularity right now. I’m afraid that our company’s Lan Tian is in trouble."
Before saying this, President Yang had already contacted the other company, but their response was vague.
Moreover, when President Yang went there with the secretary, not only were they not welcod, but they were also ridiculed, leaving President Yang feeling quite embarrassed.
"Your lousy entertainnt company trying to latch onto us? Have you even looked at what position you’re in? Put yourself in check before you talk to us. Either way, our company won’t let this matter go with a shabby company like yours."
President Yang passed these words verbatim to Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi. Upon hearing them, Xiao Keyi’s temper flared up imdiately.
As the daughter of the Xiao Group, Xiao Keyi had never encountered such arrogance, so she clapped her hands in response.
"Oh, being so arrogant, huh? Fine, let’s see whose artist will flop first, theirs or ours. Also, have you looked into the cause of this matter?"
Although those two had indeed done sothing so foolish at her family’s branch company, logically, if the branch just permanently dismissed that artist, Lan Tian, there wouldn’t be any problem. But Xiao Keyi didn’t want to take this lying down.
President Yang shook his head helplessly, instructing his secretary to call Lan Tian. At this point, Lan Tian was already terrified, with his agent constantly reassuring him beside him. The agent sighed, thinking that it was a pity that Lan Tian, who was just starting to gain so traction, was then ruined by Yang ili.
After being called, the agent had no choice but to shake his head and walk out. By now, Lan Tian knew he had beco a discard by the company due to this incident, and his agent certainly wouldn’t show him any goodwill.
Upon entering, seeing President Yang looking particularly displeased, beside him were the Xiao Group’s heiress and a branch company’s infamously controversial president.
"Alright, don’t just stand there, sit down. Since it’s happened, tell us all about your scandals, what else can we do? It’s just one headache after another."
President Yang looked particularly troubled, his brows all furrowed, looking at Lan Tian. President Yang once thought Lan Tian was finally rising to fa, especially with his role as the male lead in a historical drama being so well-received, but who could have imagined such a turn of events? He always thought Lan Tian had a good character, but never expected this — more fa, more troubles.
Lan Tian could only sit down nervously. During this ti, Xiao Keyi and Xu Ke kept observing him. Lan Tian indeed had a good character despite the incident. Even Xu Ke couldn’t understand how soone like him could make such a fundantal mistake.
"President Yang, I’m sorry..."
As soon as he sat down, Lan Tian began to apologize, his head bowed like that of an ostrich, only his head’s top visible. President Yang let out a heavy sigh, raising his hand and then gently putting it down again, unsure what to say.
"Since you’ve made a mistake, then tell us what happened?"
Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s words, Lan Tian finally looked up at her, a bitter smile fleeting across his lips.
"Miss, this is quite a long story, so I’ll keep it short. Before we started filming, I knew Yang ili when she wasn’t famous yet, so I took good care of her, treating her as a friend. At that ti, her character was also pretty nice...
But after she beca famous, naturally, we couldn’t have any contact. One day, she ca to , saying their drama needed a male lead to try out, so I went behind the company’s back to audition. She invited to dinner for several consecutive days, and a couple of days ago, this incident occurred."
As Lan Tian ntioned this, anger flickered in his eyes, unable to believe his good friend would step on him to rise to fa.
At this mont, upon hearing this, President Yang angrily slamd his fist on the table. Their company indeed couldn’t secure big IPs.
This explains why Lan Tian was tempted, yet this boy’s acting career is likely ruined.
"But nothing happened between us, and then suddenly people showed up that night taking photos. After they left, Yang ili pushed away and said many vicious words to ."
Lan Tian’s voice grew quieter, his head almost touching the sofa.
From Lan Tian’s words, everyone present now understood it was likely a deliberate setup. Otherwise, how could the photos have been taken just right?
Ultimately, Lan Tian was too naive, too trusting of this so-called friend, which led to this. Not long ago, Yang ili was involved in a scandal about being kept by a wealthy businessman, and launching this news now conveniently gave her leverage, even calling Lan Tian a frog wanting to eat swan at.
Listening to President Yang repeatedly sighing, Xu Ke furrowed his brow, rembering Wang Cuixia from the mountain village; she was also like this, always sighing, never smiled.
"Alright, don’t just keep sighing. Things won’t resolve by sighing, what’s the use?"
Xu Ke couldn’t help but say, looking at the information on Yang ili on his phone, described as pure and lovely, making fans feel Yang ili was wronged. It was really a joke; does it an won should always stand in the victim’s position?
President Yang nodded, his brows never relaxing. Originally, the branch company shouldn’t be anxious over a single artist like this, but now all their revenue was solely reliant on Lan Tian, with no other successful artists.
"It’s simply intolerable. Do they think our Xiao Group is just a jealous little entity? We definitely need their company to give us an explanation. And seriously, that Yang ili, being so disgusting in the styling room recently, and now publicly bothering , I’m going to tear that face of hers."
Xiao Keyi clenched her fists in anger. She couldn’t allow soone like Yang ili to bully her company’s people. Thinking of this, she sent a ssage to her friends in the entertainnt circle.
"President Yang, Miss, President Xu, I know I’ve made a mistake, but can you give a chance to make up for it? I won’t trust others so easily in the future, please."
Lan Tian suddenly spoke up. Actually, Lan Tian had a hard ti rising to fa, only for everything to be ruined by Yang ili. Even if the company gave him a chance, he couldn’t rise again.
