Chapter 29 Director Tang vs. Director Yang

"Boss Yang, what you said is quite interesting." Director Tang said meaningfully, "Is the company operating on the back of the artists' investments? According to what you said, Li Manman must have invested a lot in the company, right? Do you want me to give up my position as a shareholder to her?"

Director Tang has always been sharp-tongued and merciless in his words.

"You——" Director Yang smacked his lips in anger, and his bulging belly shook like a toad that was poked in the belly.

The other directors in the meeting room were overwhelmed by what they heard.

Mr. Yang is indeed a senior executive with extensive connections, but Director Tang was able to acquire 20% of Zhongxing’s shares within a year, so his strength should not be underestimated.

When the two big Buddhas come into conflict, the ones who get hurt are the small shareholders.

Try to stop the fight and offend others.

If you don't try to persuade her, it'll seem like you're just watching the fun... and it'll only offend people!

What a headache!

Everyone knows that Director Yang wants to promote Li Manman, and usually they give him some face.

Director Tang is a man of integrity. Even though he had no real power before, he still dared to confront Director Yang. Now that they are equal shareholders, he is even more ruthless in his words.

"Director Yang, with my many years of experience as a director, I know that Li Manman is not someone that can be made popular! She is arrogant and conceited, relying on the support of others to bully others in the company. She has no looks and no ability. Even with so many resources invested, she still can't become popular. I think... Director Yang should stop wasting time and money!"

"So Director Tang thinks Yan Yueqing is great?" Director Yang found something to refute, "Manman can no longer act, at most she won't be able to join the crew, but the variety shows she's been on have all received good responses! What's wrong with Yan Yueqing? She's been in the industry for three years, and she has more haters than fans, right?"

Director Tang snorted coldly: "Thank you for your concern, Director Yang. Isn't this what you specifically told Liu Minjun to do?"

"What?" Director Yang narrowed his sharp and cunning eyes like a mouse, and spoke in a very impolite tone.

"Isn't it? Without your instruction, would Liu Minjun deliberately target his artists? Then again, did you really sign Yan Yueqing for the so-called investment?"

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Director Yang’s face turned three shades paler in an instant.

Director Tang calmly exposed the truth: "You obviously wanted to take her in because she was pretty. But after signing the contract, before you even took any action, you found out that she was not from the Yan family and had a child.

You feel fooled, throw her to Liu Minjun, and secretly tell her to suppress her severely! Otherwise, with Liu Minjun's temperament, Yan Yueqing's natural celebrity face, will she be willing to let her play a supporting role in a variety show? "

Agents need to eat too.

Some people can never become popular no matter how much they are promoted, while some people can be remembered by the audience just by appearing on screen.

Yan Yueqing belongs to the latter, but she has an annoying character in the variety show, so she will naturally be criticized by netizens after the show is broadcast.

Even so, no one has ever criticized Yan Yueqing's appearance!

Her face is naturally suited to being an artist.

Liu Minjun has so many notice books in her hands. If she just picks two good ones for her, it will be enough to make Yan Yueqing popular and make her the white moonlight in the hearts of the audience.

Why is it wasted like this?

Artists cannot disobey the company. Either they are unable to appear on screen and are hidden from the public, or they have to serve as supporting roles in variety shows.

It was simply Director Yang's instruction to block her path to stardom!

The directors felt very complicated after hearing such a big news.

Everyone looked at each other, exchanging knowing glances.

What to do? I want to run!

This is Mr. Yang’s secret!

If I continue listening to this, Director Yang will definitely hold a grudge against me!

But the melon is really delicious! What if you want to hear more?

Director Yang is quite thick-skinned and never admits anything that is not in his favor: "Director Tang, don't say anything without evidence. This is not good for the reputation of me and Yan Yueqing."

Director Tang hadn't planned to talk to him too much about Yan Yueqing.

There are too many people in the circle who rely on their status to get ahead.

Especially for female stars, if they are involved in even the slightest gossip like this, they will be plunged into the abyss.

He stopped while he was ahead, with a slight smile on his lips, and a sharp look behind his glasses, like a shrewd fox: "Okay, then let's continue talking about Li Manman."

"Why talk about her?" Director Yang was unhappy.

Director Tang laughed: "I just posted a Weibo, and you called me here to hold a meeting. Aren't you here to support Li Manman?"

Director Yang slammed the table and said, "What does this have to do with Li Manman? I asked you to come here because Yan Yueqing has a bad record! You publicly spoke up for her on the Internet, causing netizens to speculate whether you two were having an affair! This affected the company's stock price."

"Oh." Director Tang pretended to be enlightened. "So, I'm speaking up for an artist from the same company, which means I'm having an affair with him? Then, Mr. Yang is working so hard to promote Li Manman, how many affairs have you two had?"

"you--"

"I heard that Li Manman has been going to the hospital for gynecological checkups recently. Why? She insisted on recording the show even though she was not feeling well? Isn't Director Yang too indifferent to his subordinates?"

Oh oh oh!!

Li Manman!

Gynecology!

The directors' faces turned red from eating so much.

It’s so exciting←_←.

Director Yang clenched his fists.

He was lustful. He had taken a fancy to Yan Yueqing because she was pretty, and coaxed her into signing with the company. But before he even started working, he discovered that she actually had a son?!

Director Yang would not be foolish enough to get involved with a woman who dared to give birth to an illegitimate child. Whether she was clean or not was secondary. If she wanted to find a father for the child and insisted on getting involved with him, wouldn't that be a waste of trouble?

Director Yang was a little angry and embarrassed because he failed to get Yan Yueqing and was tricked.

At this time, a friend introduced the pure Li Manman to him... to relieve his sexual desire.

Li Manman is not as pretty as Yan Yueqing, and even among all the stars, her appearance can only be considered above average.

But she is obedient! She does whatever I say.

Including when she said she was pregnant not long ago, Director Yang immediately asked her to have an abortion with a cold face, and Li Manman went to the hospital the next day...

Everyone in the circle knows a lot of things, but Director Tang just wants to talk about them openly, which makes him very angry!

Director Tang did not give Director Yang a chance to breathe, and said sharply: "Besides, can a Weibo post by me affect the company's stock price? In this case, if I post something positive every day, will the company be able to go public in Country M right away? You put the operating pressure on one person, Director Yang, you are still good at being a director!"

That expression, I was almost giving a like.

The blatant sarcasm made Director Yang's expression change again and again.

His fat nostrils were wheezing and he seemed to be unable to breathe.

After a long while, he managed to utter: "So, Director Tang is determined to protect Yan Yueqing?"

"It's not protection, I just hope...you guys won't make trouble for no reason." Director Tang's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, "Calling people here late at night, I thought...there must be some big changes in the company? But...hehe..."

The directors were silent.

I am complaining in my heart!

Did they want to come? It was Director Yang who called them here!

Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and poured water for the two major shareholders: "Well, Director Tang, Director Yang, drink some water and calm down. We are all doing this for the good of the company!"

Jiang Feng was a rare upright person in the company, so Director Tang gave him some face, sat back in his chair, picked up the water and took a sip.

Director Yang was so angry that he couldn't speak. Director Tang ignored him and quietly picked up his phone, only to see the missed call from Yan Yueqing.
