Jian Zhizhen, a small internet celebrity, was forced by her company to join the hit reality show "Myriad Realms Dating Show." She was instructed to play the role of a simp, fawning over the...
"It's some shady thing that I was falsely accused of." Jian Zhizhen drooped her eyes and said weakly, "I'm so sleepy, I'll tell you later."
"Okay." Qin Yubai didn't ask any more questions and took her back to sleep.
His gaze darkened, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel.
He felt like a complete jerk.
How could you not be there for her when she was most helpless?
...
The reason why Jiucai Entertainment was able to grasp Xu Qiuyuan's key point was that Xu Qiuyuan violated the agreement of "not giving a public explanation" and should be compensated.
Now that Jinju has stepped in and given her money to compensate, everything is fine.
Moreover, the compensation was not as much as Zhong Yi had expected. In the end, all the compensations added up to more than 8 million yuan.
Originally, the leeks (referring to the investors) wanted to delay, and even put on airs like a big company, saying that terminating the contract required approval at each level and a week-long process.
If he really leaves like that, Xu Qiuyuan will definitely miss the next episode of the dating reality show.
Zhong Yi wasn't going to tolerate them; she started a live stream right in front of their company.
"Look at this, everyone. It's unbelievable that there are still companies with such slow work efficiency in the 23rd century."
"The compensation has already been deposited into their account, yet they're still holding people captive!"
"The second season of 'Love Across Worlds' is going to air in a day and a half, and you're still holding people back. Aren't you just making them lose a chance to make money? Isn't that blatant bullying?"
After Jian Zhizhen found out, she directly forwarded and shared Zhong Yi's live stream, and also forwarded it using Qin Yubai's account.
A while later, Lin Yi also reposted it.
When Li Ze, Zhou Sui, and Xie Anxia, the three bystanders, saw that their teammates had all posted, they followed suit and posted as well.
Li Nanyan and Zhai Qinghe, fearing they would be out of place if they didn't share it, also shared it.
Qiao Peishi also forwarded it and sent it to her good friend Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu is one of the directors of Yangtao Entertainment, and Yangtao and Apple are two major entertainment giants in China. With both of them involved, it's hard for this matter not to be exposed.
Wen Jiu also reposted Zhong Yi's live stream and added a comment:
[Wen Jiu: This is the first time I've gotten angry today. One of these high-ranking officials has time to pretend to be single and deceive innocent female artists, and the other has time to team up with her own husband to blacklist female artists, but they don't have time to sign a document or stamp anything? Isn't it just bullying Jinju's small company and Xu Qiuyuan's lack of background? @韭菜娱乐 People are watching, heaven is watching. I advise you not to be so absurd.]
Just a quick plug for Shi Shi: Apple's big-budget production, *The Multiverse Romance*, is seriously amazing! It's entertaining, scientifically accurate, and has a deeply moving love story! Everyone should check it out!
Before Wen Jiu stepped down to become a director, she was a popular TV host.
As soon as she advertised, countless of her fans flooded the #MultiverseLoveVarietyShow# topic to pay attention to this matter:
[Ting Wen: @韭菜娱乐 actually dared to make my sister unhappy, so I'm withdrawing my investment.]
[I am Seven/Cat's Little Cutie: @Mrs. Shi, how many times have I said it? Keeping your cheating husband in check is the best thing you can do, otherwise he'll keep pretending to be single and lying to other people.]
[Little Grass: None of the dramas that Leek Company has produced recently are watchable; they're purely for exploiting the audience. I will personally boycott any products from this company from now on.]
[Little Deaf Girl: I suggest other investors follow Mr. Lu's example and withdraw their investments quickly, and artists should switch companies as soon as possible, leaving this empty shell of a "leek" (a metaphor for exploitation) to that couple.]
[Xiao An: Just watching the drama unfold, and following Jiu Jiu's lead, I've added "The Multiverse Romance" to my watchlist. I'll definitely watch the next episode!]
Furthermore, many artists who had been helped or interviewed by Xu Qiuyuan joined in, and the matter quickly escalated again.
Many people even went downstairs at Jiucai Entertainment to join Zhong Yi in demanding the release of the person.
Seeing that he couldn't control the situation, the leek quickly completed the process that would normally take a week in just ten minutes.
Zhong Yi finally succeeded in taking Xu Qiuyuan away.
On the way back, Zhong Yi stopped by to return Jian Zhizhen's card.
Of the 8 million yuan in compensation, part was owed by Xu Qiuyuan, and the company also covered a portion. The company will repay Jian Zhizhen when it makes money in the future.
From now on, Xu Qiuyuan will have nothing to do with leeks anymore; he will be an artist under the Kumquat brand.
Riding the wave of popularity, Zhong Yi released another announcement using the official account of Jinju Entertainment:
[Jinju: Jinju has assumed all breach of contract compensation owed by Xu Qiuyuan to Jiucai Entertainment and has officially signed a contract with Xu Qiuyuan. Xu Qiuyuan will continue to participate in the second season of "Myriad Realms Love Variety Show" as an artist of Jinju. Please continue to support our artists, Xu Qiuyuan and Jian Zhizhen.]
This action moved the entire internet at an incredibly fast pace:
[Wen Jiu: A company with a conscience! Keep up the good work and catch up with Yangtao!]
When Zhong Yi saw that the big shot had come again, she excitedly replied while wiping away tears:
[Kumquat: When we were first established, our goal was to become eligible to be acquired by Yangtao in the future. Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your recognition!]
[I vaguely remember that Jian Zhizhen mentioned in the first episode that Jinju helped her during her most difficult time?]
[What kind of bodhisattva company is this?! Was it specifically established to rescue suffering female entertainers?]
I wanted to buy some Kumquat stock to support them, but it turns out this small company doesn't even have any stock for us to buy, and their registered capital is only one million, with five bosses and two artists...
[Oh my god, Jian Zhizhen said back then that Jinju would use the entire company's resources to get her on the show, is their little company going to use the entire company's resources to protect Xu Qiuyuan now? Are they really that poor?]
Immediately, a young actor who had worked with Chien Chih-chen spoke out:
[Zhu Suchen: It's true. A few days ago, when Jian Zhizhen was filming a movie, I was also an extra on that set. I personally saw the boss of Jinju acting as her assistant, agent, and makeup artist...]
