Chapter 448: Feng Peizhi is Done, and the Big Bosses All Spoke Out (1)
Translator: _Min
Feng Peizhi was taken aback, then her brows furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean?” she demanded.
Si Fuqing continued to smile, his demeanor lazy. “Just look.”
A sense of dread washed over Feng Peizhi, prompting her to immediately check her phone.
There was nothing there.
Nothing in her cloud storage either.
Nowhere to be found.
Even the backups on her USB drive had vanished.
The photos of Meng Xue and Cen Xiaosi were still there, but those of Si Fuqing and Jiang Changning had completely disappeared.
Feng Peizhi couldn’t believe her eyes.
After Manager Luo had reminded her, she had specifically made several copies of those private photos, placing them in various locations.
How could all the photos be gone?!
She carried her computer with her at all times and it had not been infected with any viruses.
“What did you do, Si Fuqing?” Feng Peizhi was livid. ‘Where are the photos? Did you delete them? How did you delete them? You’re violating my privacy. I’m going to sue you!”
Her tone was still firm, but her heart was in turmoil.
Without the leverage over Si Fuqing and Jiang Changning, how could she threaten them now?
“You don’t have the photos, but I have recordings,” Si Fuqing said with a slight smile. “Thanks.”
Before Feng Peizhi could respond, the call was disconnected and her number was blocked.
Then, Si Fuqing’s third Weibo post of the day appeared.
[@SiFuqingV: Inviting everyone to witness the ace agent of Tianle Media.] Attached were several audio clips.
One featured Feng Peizhi mocking Si Fuqing for not having many fans and telling her to obey or else she’d be out of the entertainment industry.
Another was demanding Si Fuqing recommend Meng Xue as the ambassador for the RM brand, calling her ungrateful if she refused.
The most attention-grabbing clip was Feng Peizhi using private photos to threaten Si Fuqing into withdrawing a lawsuit.
[You have the nerve to sue someone for invading privacy? You do realize that’s illegal, right?]
[Trash agent, crawl away!]
[Brothers and sisters, let’s get this Feng on the trending list today, show her whether we, mousses, have any sway.]
Si Fuqing having a lot of male fans was no joke.
“Survival 66 Days,” a survival reality show, actually had a broader appeal than “Youth With You,” a boy group show.
This was because Si Fuqing had become a treasure trove of memes for video editors, making her very popular in the video community.
One blogger had even edited an episode where she played games with villagers.
Her skills were notable among celebrities, and without trying to craft a “gamer girl” persona, she indeed attracted many male fans.
Feng Peizhi’s name quickly climbed the trending lists, and netizens uncovered her history of taking cuts from her artists’ earnings even before she managed the Starry Star Girls.
Compared to Si Fuqing’s twenty-dollar T-shirt, the bags Feng Peizhi carried started at tens of thousands, further fueling the fans’ anger.
Tianle Media’s PR and legal departments were urgently discussing countermeasures when Manager Luo was informed that the situation had worsened.
“Idiot!” Manager Luo, in a rage, slapped Feng Peizhi, berating her for not handling things directly and allowing someone to gain leverage over her. “How could you have such a foolish agent!”
Stammering, Feng Peizhi tried to explain, “Man-Manager Luo, my photos are gone. I don’t know how she deleted them. I couldn’t threaten her.”
“Get out!” Manager Luo’s disgust was palpable, finding even the sight of Feng Peizhi repulsive.
The PR manager was sweating profusely. “What do we do now, Manager Luo?”
“We have a scapegoat here, don’t we?” Manager Luo said coldly. “If no solution is found, she’ll be the one to take the fall.”
The worst-case scenario would be letting Si Fuqing break her contract, resulting in some reputational damage for the company.
Tianle Media had been rooted in the entertainment industry for over a decade. There was no way Si Fuqing could really topple it.
The thought was laughable.
After a night of deliberation, Manager Luo was impatient, “Find a solution now.”
The lawyer hesitated, “Manager Luo, sorry, we can’t find any loopholes in this lawsuit. The opposition is too strong. If we go to court, we’ll undoubtedly lose.”
Tianle Media’s legal team was comprised of elites, otherwise, they wouldn’t have tightly controlled their artists.
But this time, they were up against Ling Feng.
A legendary undefeated figure in the legal world.
The reputation of Xingting Law Firm was well-deserved.
They couldn’t fathom how Ling Feng had gathered such compelling evidence.
“1.8 billion !” Manager Luo exclaimed at the final demand. “Why doesn’t she just rob us?!”
It was an outrageous demand..
