Chapter 44 The Real Reason for the Top Stream Crisis

When Xia Kai heard this, he slammed the table in anger:

"Sure enough! I knew these profit-seeking capitalists were black-hearted and rotten-bellied!"

The length and level of contracts with celebrities are often kept secret to prevent internal comparisons. However, those in the know can make some guesses based on the celebrity's status, compensation, and the level of resources allocated to them.

As for Wen Chi, they thought the treatment would be very good, but they never imagined that the contract would be for only three years!

This is unbelievable for the star-making companies that cultivate idols to make money! They are simply making wedding clothes for others!

For someone as young as Wen Chi, the common sentence is ten years, eight years for the more lenient ones, and fifteen years for the more stringent ones... but I've never heard of three years!

Xia Kai guessed that there must be something else behind this.

But he didn't want to trace it back, he only cared about the company's suppression of Wen Chi because of the upcoming expiration of the contract!

"No wonder, no wonder! That's why they took over your account after this paparazzi came out to smear you! They won't let us go online to clarify the negative news! They must have seen you make a comeback thanks to variety shows, and they're scared, so they deliberately used such a low-level trick! What a vicious heart!"

At this point, Xia Kai understood everything——

Why could Wen Chi, a top star, be ruined in just half a month?

Why is the industry's leading star-making company so passive?

Why is the smear campaign so strong?

In the final analysis, Wen Chi was attacked from both sides!

The enemies outside are throwing dirty water and spreading black material, regardless of whether it is useful or not, winning by quantity, stirring up the water, and deceiving the public at the same time!

As for the internal enemies, they coordinated with the external ones and responded passively. Not only did they not help Wen Chi, they even added insult to injury...

You have to know that Wen Chi is a popular idol who came from a talent show!

Since his debut, the company has carefully packaged him with the image of a melancholy nobleman. He is a perfect idol in the hearts of fans, but out of touch with reality in the eyes of passers-by.

This also means that he relies more on his fan circle than ordinary traffic stars who are actors.

Behind most fan circles, there are celebrity teams guiding them.

When guidance is good, it leads to healthy development; when guidance is bad...

Just like Wen Chi, the fan club and big fans remained silent under the hint of the company behind Wen Chi, and the scattered fans were panicked due to the lack of a backbone. In the end, under the attack of rumors and external doubts, the entire fan circle fell apart!

...Once his mind was opened, Xia Kai quickly thought of more!

"But there's something strange. The contract expires in at least six months, not tomorrow! You're the company's biggest cash cow. Just based on the income from the past six months, they shouldn't be causing trouble so early..."

Xia Kai thought seriously, showing the wisdom and demeanor of a student from a 985 prestigious university.

"Could it be that they didn't expect things to get to this point and shot themselves in the foot? Or is there someone else targeting you behind the scenes?"

The information known is limited, and Xia Kai cannot make an accurate analysis.

Wen Chi listened with mixed emotions.

At the same time, he also noticed a key point in Xia Kai's words:

"Negative news? What negative news?"

Wen Chi no longer likes to surf the Internet after his debut.

I was out on business today and was very busy, so I had no time to pay attention to online news.

When I heard this, I was a little confused.

Xia Kai quickly dug out the outrageous revelation and showed it to Wen Chi, which made Wen Chi laugh on the spot.

"Is it interesting?"

"That's right! These people are really enough! Do they all think we won't resist or something?"

The more Xia Kai thought about it, the angrier he became. He had already rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong muscles, as if he was ready to rush back to the company and make a killing!

On the other hand, Wen Chi quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of anger.

"Forget it, don't worry about it."

Xia Kai wanted to refute.

But after thinking carefully, he opened his eyes wide:

"So... you already knew this?"

Tears welled up in Xia Kai's eyes, and he looked at Wen Chi with such pity!

Xiaochi, oh Xiaochi! Poor Xiaochi!

How did you manage to endure the pain of betrayal by those close to you these days?

Wen Chi got goosebumps when he was looked at, and immediately said uncomfortably:

"Don't be so exaggerated, Xia Ge."

Xia Kai simply couldn't bear the overflowing emotions.

He wiped the corners of his wet eyes and said sincerely:

"Xiao Chi, you should have told me earlier! Why are you trying to hold on by yourself? Don't worry, I'm absolutely on your side! If you decide to terminate your contract with the company, I'll hand in my resignation and leave with you!"

Wen Chi never doubted Xia Kai's loyalty.

Some people think Xia Kai is stupid.

But Wen Chi felt that Xia Kai was just right.

"I know, I have plans."

Wen Chi is not the type of person who allows himself to be bullied.

Thinking back then, he...

Wen Chi suddenly remembered something, his eyes flashed, and then quickly dimmed.

He decided not to waste time on these things for the time being, because there were other important things waiting for him to do -

"Brother Xia, please do me a favor."

This solemn tone made Xia Kai think that Wen Chi was preparing to fight back against the company!

Xia Kai is ready to go:

"No problem! Just tell me! No matter what it is, I'll help you do it, no matter how hard it takes!"

The fire of pity burned fiercely in Xia Kai's chest!

Wen Chi pursed his lips.

"It's not that exaggerated. Just buy some vegetables for me... Well, it seems I can only watch some videos online. In the current situation, it may not be convenient to ask a cooking teacher to come to my house."

The second half of the sentence was a soliloquy, but Xia Kai also heard it.

He thought he had misheard:

"Buy groceries?"

"Well, I want to practice my cooking."

Food is the most important thing for people, it is the top priority!

Xia Kai went out with a dizzy head, found a nearby supermarket, and bought a bunch of food at random.

When he returned to the hotel corridor, his wandering soul finally returned to its place, and he suddenly remembered:

"That's not right. There's no kitchen in the hotel suite! How is Xiaochi going to practice?"

Xia Kai hurried in, ready to put down the bags of food before leaving.

He glanced casually and was stunned——

The space that originally belonged to the suite's bar has been temporarily converted into a kitchen, fully equipped with everything from induction cookers to pots and pans to kitchen knives and cutting boards!

Xia Kai hesitated: "This..."

Wen Chi casually explained: "I asked the hotel staff to find it."

S Hotel has an independent and professional Chinese food department, so it is easy to provide these things.

What really surprised Xia Kai was the hotel's unconditional service attitude:

"...Is this a special treatment for long-term guests?"

Wen Chi's movements paused subtly for two seconds.

Then, he casually echoed:

"Probably."

Xia Kai didn't think too much and rolled up his sleeves to join Wen Chi's cooking career!

The room soon filled with the sounds of frantic activity, interspersed with the scramble between Wen Chi and Xia Kai over whether the jar contained salt or sugar...

Unconsciously, all the concerns about interests were left behind by the two of them.
