Huansheng's reputation has plummeted, and the work of its artists has also been affected. Some have had their roles replaced, their prices reduced, and they have been bombarded by fans. Some artists couldn't withstand the pressure and decisively chose to switch companies. Some projects that were originally agreed to be signed with Huansheng have also been put on hold.

Huansheng's official Weibo account was flooded with comments, and Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu's Weibo accounts were not spared either.

The recording of the semi-finals of "Journey to Stardom" was forced to stop and was temporarily postponed due to the disturbance caused by TJ boy band fans. The date for the next recording has not yet been set. Several commercials that Sally found for Rong Yu to shoot recently have been replaced at the last minute. Rong Yu, whose schedule was originally fully booked, has suddenly become idle.

So, having some free time, Rong Yu followed Yin Chengjue to Huansheng Entertainment.

When the two got out of the car together at the entrance of Huansheng, they ran into the reporters who were waiting there.

The reporters' eyes seemed to light up when they saw them appear together.

That light was brighter than the camera's reflector!

"President Yin! You and Rong Yu have confirmed that you're getting married, right?"

"President Yin! Can you tell me when you two got together?"

"Does Huansheng really sign unfair contracts with its artists?"

"Do the agents at Huansheng Entertainment really force their artists to exchange their bodies for resources?"

"Rong Yu, did you also obtain resources in such a despicable way?"

The reporters surrounded the area so tightly that it was impossible to move, making the short distance extremely difficult to traverse.

Yin Chengjue gave Rong Yu a reassuring look, then fixed his gaze on a reporter holding a microphone with a familiar logo. The reporter quickly handed the microphone to Yin Chengjue and asked, "Mr. Yin, are the contents of those C-level contracts that have been leaked online true?"

Yin Chengjue: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

Reporter: "Are you deliberately avoiding this question?"

Yin Chengjue: "Those C-level contracts were all dated two years ago, before I took over Huansheng. After I came, I revised the contract terms."

Reporter: "Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"

Yin Chengjue: "I only managed Huansheng for two years. You can't expect me to travel back in time and change history, can you?"

Reporter: "Is it true that Huansheng's agents forced their artists to use their bodies to get ahead?"

Yin Chengjue: "We will definitely file a lawsuit against agents who violate the company's contract. Thank you very much for your supervision."

While Yin Chengjue was answering questions from reporters, many reporters tried to squeeze in and hand the microphone to Rong Yu, who was prepared to answer all sorts of questions.

However, Rong Yu waited in the same spot for a long time. She clearly saw several reporters push their microphones up, only to have them pushed back by some reporters who were blocking the front row.

The reporters standing in the front row seemed only interested in Yin Chengjue, pointing their microphones and cameras at him and showing no intention of asking Rong Yu any questions.

But if they say they didn't pay attention to Rong Yu, then when other reporters tried to squeeze in to interview her, they were cleverly pushed back by these people!

As Rong Yu watched the actions of the reporters in the front row, she gradually realized what was going on—this group of reporters in the front row was arranged by Yin Chengjue!

Since that's the case, he'll just stay here quietly and take pictures for them.

The reporter interviewing Yin Chengjue finally managed to get from company-related questions to Yin Chengjue's personal life.

Reporter: "Mr. Yin, when did you and Rong Yu start dating?"

Yin Chengjue: "Didn't this already trend on social media? The time, the reason, and the process are all recorded online. If you want to know about these things, I suggest you search it on Baidu. Don't reporters do their homework before asking questions these days?"

Reporters in the back row who couldn't squeeze in seized the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Yin, are you referring to the time when Fengchengda publicly criticized your sexuality online?"

Yin Chengjue glanced at the man: "He also indirectly brought about my relationship with my lover."

Yin Chengjue deliberately spoke vaguely, giving the reporters plenty of room to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.

The reporter standing in the front row spoke very quickly: "So, you said that because your father made those defamatory remarks about you, you deliberately went public with your relationship with Mr. Rong in order to oppose him, and that you actually fell in love during that process, is that right?"

Yin Chengjue's cold expression finally softened, and he gave the reporter who said it a slight smile: "Fate is so wonderful. Perhaps everything is predetermined, allowing two independent individuals to meet, get to know each other, fall in love, and stay together for life in the vast sea of ​​people."

Reporter: "..." Why the sudden change to sentimentality? Is this Yin Chengjue's style?

Rong Yu readily hooked her arm around Yin Chengjue's and pressed her face against his arm.

Yin Chengjue: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Reporters in the back row: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Reporters in the front row: "No, thank you very much."

Yin Chengjue: "You're welcome. Since there are no problems, please make way for me."

The bodyguards arrived just in time, pushing back the reporters who were crowding in the front row, and also pulling back those reporters who wanted to squeeze forward. They used great force to create space for Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu, and to clear a path for the bodyguards.

Rong Yu's gaze swept over the reporters in the front row, and she could clearly see the fine beads of sweat on their foreheads. Even so, they still formed a human wall, blocking the reporters behind them from getting up.

If you look closely, you'll see that their physiques are clearly the result of training.

The bodyguards seized the opportunity to squeeze in, shielding Rong Yu and Yin Chengjue in the middle, clearing a path for them, and finally got them into the company gate. Then, citing that they could not enter the company premises, they closed the gate.

Today, the lobby of Huansheng Entertainment was deserted and desolate. Apart from a few receptionists, security guards and cleaners on duty, there was almost no one coming and going.

That's normal. With so many reporters blocking the company's way, any agent with a brain wouldn't ask their artist to come to the company at this time.

Rong Yu followed Yin Chengjue into the elevator and finally couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, you should give those reporters in the front row more money."

Yin Chengjue chuckled: "You figured it out?"

Rong Yu: "Isn't it obvious? They practically have 'we're just doing this for money' written all over their faces."

Yin Chengjue: "If they've been found out, it means their acting skills aren't up to par. I'm being generous by not deducting their wages."

The elevator dinged as it arrived at the floor where Yin Chengjue's office was located. Before even stepping out, one could hear hurried footsteps.

Compared to the empty silence below, the bustling activity on this floor seems to come from another world.

"Mr. Yin, these documents need to be signed. Please take a look first."

As soon as Yin Chengjue entered the office, Assistant Guan followed closely behind with a pile of file folders. Upon seeing Rong Yu, he gave her a brief greeting.

"I'll go make some coffee, you guys go ahead with your work." Rong Yu went to the break room.

Assistant Guan closed the office door before saying, "President Yin, Chairman An has also started selling off his shares."

Yin Chengjue nodded: "Even the old fox can't hold back anymore."

Assistant Guan: "Right now, the internet is full of negative information about Huansheng. It's no exaggeration to say it's flying everywhere. Anyone who holds shares in Huansheng would be getting impatient."

Yin Chengjue: "That's exactly the effect we wanted. I was just afraid they wouldn't sell it off and would keep it as a souvenir."

Assistant Guan: "...Probably no one has such a hobby."

At this point, Yin Chengjue paused for a moment: "I checked this morning and there is still a small portion of shares that have not been recovered. I haven't been able to find out who it is yet. It's not an account that I know well. I really don't know why that person would keep that share when Huansheng's stock price has fallen to this level."

Rong Yu brought over the coffee, placed it in front of them, and casually asked, "Why did you save one for me?"

Yin Chengjue: "The stock of Huansheng has fallen so much that it could go bankrupt if it falls any further. I don't know who is still holding onto their shares."

Yin Chengjue originally intended to take that part back as well, but it seems that's not possible now.

Rong Yu: "...Wait a minute."

Rong Yu: "I vaguely remember that I bought shares of Huansheng before..."

Rong Yu: "So, the copy you mentioned, maybe, is with me?"

Since Rong Yu had held onto that small share of stock without selling it, Yin Chengjue no longer hesitated.

The market has been consolidating for three days, and all the stocks that needed to be acquired have been obtained. Now, it's time to turn things around!

The PR team, which was prepared in advance, quickly mobilized and released the video of Yin Chengjue's answer to the reporter.

At the same time, the official website released the latest news, stating that it would strictly deal with unscrupulous brokers and list the names of the managers who signed and stamped the black contracts back then.

Take responsibility for your own actions. Don't assume that just because you're associated with Huansheng, they'll clean up your messes.

Yin Chengjue was not the one who signed and stamped the black contract; he will not take the blame for this.

As for those artists who submitted their resignations and wanted to leave when Huansheng Entertainment was embroiled in a public opinion storm, Huansheng will not keep them. As long as you leave the stipulated breach of contract penalty, you are free to do as you please.

To address this, Yin Chengjue convened a special meeting, gathering all the artists in the company together to resolve the issues, whether they wanted to leave or stay.

Because the meeting involved a large number of people, the company's large conference room was opened.

It was about the artists' future prospects, so everyone arrived on time.

Yin Chengjue didn't waste any words. As soon as he entered, he said directly, "Those who have decided to leave, come here to sign. Your previous contracts are also here. Remember to pay the penalty for breach of contract as stipulated in the contract. If you have any questions, ask Assistant Guan."

Yin Chengjue: "Those who have decided to stay, come over here and sign."
