Chapter 445: Announcement of Contract Termination (3)
Translator: _Min
Tianle Media was indeed engaging in some shady dealings to exchange for more wealth and resources.
The moment Si Fuqing set foot there, it was akin to a lamb walking into a tiger’s den, with no chance of escape.
Their artists who showed rebellious streaks and repeatedly brought shame to the company were particularly disliked by Manager Luo.
Had it not been for Si Fuqing’s connection with RM, he wouldn’t have spared her a glance.
They planned to administer something to Si Fuqing later, confident it would ensure her compliance.
“Wait, let the company’s marketing accounts and paid trolls make their move first,” Manager Luo pondered, “to see her reaction. If she doesn’t back down, then release her private photos.”
Feng Peizhi had an epiphany and smiled in agreement, “Sure, no problem.”
Even if Si Fuqing didn’t participate in the joint performance, Feng Peizhi was still able to devise ways to make her support Meng Xue.
Under Tianle Media’s special instruction, the internet was quickly flooded with leaks.
The same rhetoric was used everywhere.
The hashtag #StarryStarGirlsDisbandingCountdown quickly climbed to the top of the entertainment hot search list.
[@ExposeBrotherV read: “Starry Star Girls debuted overseas and maintained their popularity upon returning home. Our editors interviewed some of their training camp staff abroad and got many precious pictures.
Meng Xue, the captain, has practically become a mother figure, no wonder they say the group has held her back. Looking forward to her going solo.
According to insiders from Tianle Media, the position of dance instructor on ‘Youth With You’ was originally intended for Meng Xue, but Si Fuqing, backed by the Zuo family, had Old Master Zuo snatch it for her. With Meng Xue’s all-around capabilities as the leader, wouldn’t ‘Youth With You’ be even more popular?]
‘Youth With You’ was indeed the hottest variety show in recent years.
Especially on the night of the finale, when a director from Glenn and Su Yang appeared together, the viewership numbers instantly broke through one hundred million.
Meng Xue’s fans went wild.
[I knew it, how could Si Fuqing become a dance instructor? So it was snatched. Having a sugar daddy really makes you powerful.]
[Our Meng Xue is too pitiful, wasn’t Si Fuqing known for not being able to sing or dance back then? How could she have the face to snatch the leader’s stuff?]
[I’m so mad and sad!]
[It’s disgusting how a member snatches the captain’s opportunities.]
These reactions were all within Feng Peizhi’s expectations.
She intended to step on Si Fuqing while elevating Meng Xue.
The contract was signed by Tianle Media, and nobody knew who the dance instructor position was truly meant for.
Feng Peizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn’t worried Si Fuqing wouldn’t come to her begging.
She placed her phone on the desk, waiting for it to ring.
However, Feng Peizhi was completely unaware that the moment the first marketing account posted on Weibo, Ling Feng had already seen it.
She quickly assessed the situation and immediately sought out Si Fuqing, “Miss
Si, this is the golden opportunity to maximize our benefits.”
“Miss Si is terminating the contract now?” Shang Lu, who had just returned from walking Little Bai, asked, “What happened?”
He noticed the contract Ling Feng brought over, topped with an oppressive agreement.
One clause was more outrageous than the next.
It was clear that Tianle Media had been exploiting Si Fuqing thoroughly for nearly three years.
Shang Lu was furious, “I’m going to blow up that damn company now!” He knew Tianle Media was unscrupulous.
But he hadn’t expected such tyrannical terms; they didn’t treat her as human at all.
“Quiet, quiet,” Si Fuqing calmed him with a hand on his shoulder, “I’m already doing well, at least I’m still alive.”
Just last year, thirteen artists under Tianle Media had died.
These artists had little to no fame, not even a thousand followers on Weibo.
Coming from ordinary backgrounds, Tianle Media easily settled with a bit of money, brushing everything under the carpet.
“This indeed is the golden time,” Si Fuqing clasped her hands together, “Is everything ready?”
Ling Feng nodded: “All set, we’ve gathered all the information. Plus, with the banquet at the end of the month, I’m ninety percent sure we can make Tianle
Media disappear.”
Ling Feng never spoke in absolutes.
When she said sixty percent, it meant it was a sure thing.
Ninety percent.
Si Fuqing nodded in approval, “Good, you send the lavvyer’s letter, I’ll issue the announcement, starting with the contract termination.”
The banquet at the end of the month wasn’t just for Tianle Media; several investors were also attending.
The invitation had already reached her hands.
She indeed planned to attend.
Shang Lu immediately brought over his computer, “Miss Si, just say the word, and I’ll post it on Weibo.”
As time passed, the online voices grew louder.
Knowing that the dance instructor position for ‘Youth With You’ was supposed to be Meng Xue’s, her fans were infuriated.
[Si Fuqing, apologize to Meng Xue!]
[Apologize! You’re just a group member, do you really have the face to demand resources meant for the center position?]
[What kind of life did our beloved Meng Xue live for the past few years, I’m so heartbroken!]
Meng Xue’s fans, having been humiliated by the RM incident, finally had a legitimate reason to target Si Fuqing openly. They swarmed Si Fuqing’s Weibo, hurling vile insults.
This provoked the Mousses.
[I’m disgusted, you really have the nerve to say that, not knowing who the real sacrificial lamb of the company is?]
[Look at the few resources Tianle Media gave her. You say she gained fame through ‘Youth With You’, did you see how she appeared in her initial appearances?]
[Regarding the dance instructors, there were two at the time, and Lin Qingyan was quite popular as well. Your sister Si initially sacrificed her positioning for stability, turning a bad hand into a good one and even snatching resources. Is
Meng Xue worthy of comparison?]
The fans were in a heated debate, tearing into each other fiercely.
Faced with a vast army of paid commenters, detractors, and fans of Meng Xue, including some group fans, Mousses became even more determined to fight. Before Si Fuqing personally stepped in, they finally had the chance to roll up their sleeves and join the fray.
[When will Si Fuqing die? When she does, I’ll definitely celebrate by paying one hundred thousand to Meng Xue.]
[So, this is the moral compass of the entertainment industry? Clean up your act first.]
[Si Fuqing needs to come out and explain! Silence means consent.]
Tianle Media, as one of the leading companies in the entertainment industry, has nurtured countless marketing accounts and paid commenters over the years.
Together, they quickly took control of the public opinion.
Manager Luo felt much of his frustration dissipate.
Did Si Fuqing really think she could stand against Tianle Media alone?
Wasn’ t shejust going to obediently comply?
This was a lesson for Si Fuqing.
“Manager Luo, Si Fuqing has made a statement!” said the PR Manager. Manager Luo asked, “What did she say? Did she admit her mistake?”
The PR Manager replied, “No, no, she… said:”
[@SiFuqingV: I hereby officially file a lawsuit against Tianle Media for contract termination, demanding dual compensation from Tianle Media for spiritual and resource damages over three years, demanding an end to the online violence against me by Tianle Media’s marketing accounts and paid commenters, and demanding Tianle Media to stop exploiting and deceiving me.
This is not a notification; this is an order.]
