Chapter 52: Eighty percent of people may lose their jobs



"Miss Yiyi, are you really not going to consider our proposal?"

At the entrance of the police station, the leader of the serious crime squad asked again.

Qiao Yiyi raised the banner in her hand and said with a smile, "It's a great honor for me to receive this banner, but I really can't bear the responsibility of being an investigation consultant."

"How could that be?" Faced with another rejection, the sheriff still tried to persuade him, "We believe that you have keen insight and unique talent in this area."

"There's no such thing as talent." Qiao Yiyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. "At best, it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

However, seeing the other party's insistence, Qiao Yiyi couldn't bear to refuse the officer's kindness, so she said, "Well, officer, if there's anything I can help you with in the future, I'll be ready to be summoned at any time."

The officer was surprised by her suggestion and said after a moment's hesitation, "Isn't this inappropriate? Miss Yiyi is so busy, how can we have the nerve to ask you to be free labor?"

"What's the big deal?" Qiao Yiyi waved her hand nonchalantly. "It's my honor to contribute to the people. I'm happy to serve them."

The police officer looked at the girl in front of him with a burning gaze and a firm tone, and the sunlight falling on her seemed to cast a layer of glory.

It is rare to see such positive energy artists in the entertainment industry. The police officer not only felt a sense of relief, but also had a greater appreciation for the young underachiever in front of him.

He sighed and said with a smile, "Since Miss Yiyi insists, then let's do as you wish. The door of the police station is always open to you."

Qiao Yiyi: "Ah?"

Sheriff: "You are always welcome to come and share your experience with us."

Qiao Yiyi was startled.

Although I knew what the police officer meant, it was still a bit scary to hear these words from him.

When several paparazzi saw her coming down the stairs, they all hid behind the bushes.

What's going on?

They looked at each other.

Qiao Yiyi not only won a banner, but was also invited by the police to be their investigation consultant?

They quickly contacted their employers and asked them not to release any information about Qiao Yiyi as there might be uncertainties.

I didn’t expect to get a reply – it’s already been sent.

Not only did they post it, they also exaggerated it and used their imagination to make up a story about a popular female artist in the entertainment industry who fell into trouble and was arrested.

She seemed to be living a glamorous life on the surface, but she was actually doing some unknown illegal activities in private. However, she never expected that the law is so strict and no one can escape it. Even though she had tens of millions of fans, she could not escape the law.

However, some netizens just believe whatever others say without thinking and actually think that Qiao Yiyi has done something illegal and was detained by the police.

Qin Yiyang and Sang Bai were tagging Qiao Yiyi crazily in the group.

Abnormal Human Squad (3)

Sang Xiaobai: Sister Yiyi, please send a message and tell them what’s going on!

Qin Yiyang: Yes, yes, if you don’t show up, they will really paint white as black.

Qiao Yiyi was thinking about where to put the newly-won banner and didn't pay attention to the message they sent.

When I saw the news, I found that the direction of public opinion had completely changed.

Internet regulators in Nancheng District were furious when they saw that Qiao Yiyi, who had helped their police station solve the case, was being blacklisted online, and they reported the matter to their superiors.

The sheriff didn't expect that they had caused so much trouble for Qiao Yiyi. He waved his hand and asked the media department to issue an announcement.

Netizens then spotted photos of Qiao Yiyi posing with police officers holding a banner, and the Nancheng District Police Department in City A officially debunked the rumors, saying, "Thank you, Ms. Qiao, for your powerful assistance in solving the case." "With a heart for the people and a heart for justice, give @乔依依呀哟 a thumbs up."

Netizens were dumbfounded.

It turned out that Qiao Yiyi was not invited by the police for tea, nor was she detained for committing a crime. Instead, she helped the police solve the serial murder case that had been worrying them for some time, and she also received a banner from the police.

However, before I could be surprised, I saw the official Weibo account posted a legal education post about the harm caused by spreading rumors and the measures to deal with them.

"The internet is not a lawless place. We hope that the public will not believe, create, or spread rumors. Serious violations will be dealt with according to the law."

After the official response, those marketing accounts, no matter how daring they were, did not dare to test the law and deleted their Weibo posts one after another.

Baomei forwarded these two Weibo posts many times in one breath, and used exclamation marks like they were free, showing her full support!

The world is finally quiet.

Qiao Yiyi was called to the company again, but this time it was not Zhao Anna who called her, but the company's president's secretary, who said that the president wanted to see her.

Why did the president meet her?

Qiao Yiyi was extremely confused.

It's been so long since the new president took office, but she has never met him. Firstly, she is busy running various announcements all day long, and secondly, she is just one of the many artists in the company. The president is so busy, how could he care about a small follower like her.

With a lot of doubts in her mind, Qiao Yiyi went to the company.

The reactions of the people in the company when they saw her were quite intriguing.

Qiao Yiyi didn't have the energy to figure out the deeper meaning behind those people's expressions, and went straight to the president's office under the guidance of the president's secretary.

The new president is Qi Shaocheng, the second son of Star Dream Entertainment Holdings.

I don’t know what got him into this situation, but he stopped being a good rich second generation and came here to play the “management game”.

It is said that the company carried out drastic reforms as soon as he came to power. First, a large number of staff members were replaced, and then many artists were poached from other companies. He also planned to open up new entertainment markets.

Of course, Qiao Yiyi learned all this when she listened to Baomei's complaints.

When I pushed the door open, I only saw the back of a man sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

He turned around when he heard the secretary's voice. He had peach blossom eyes, a white shirt, a loosely tied tie, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose that made him look like a gentleman.

He was much younger than she had imagined - she thought he was a man in his forties or fifties.

"Sit down." He pointed to the chair next to him with his long, slender fingers.

Qiao Yiyi has never been good at guessing other people's thoughts. She didn't know what he was going to do, but she still sat down stiffly.

After the secretary brought the tea, he left at the right time and closed the door properly.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you."

Qi Shaocheng sat leisurely on the couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking so relaxed as if he was at home rather than in the company's office.

Qiao Yiyi was puzzled: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Qi Shaocheng: "Were you brought here by Zhao Anna?"

Qiao Yiyi nodded: "...Yeah."

"So how long have you been with her?"

Qiao Yiyi thought about it. From the time the original owner was taken away by Zhao Anna in the bar at the age of seventeen until now...

She told Qi Shaocheng: "About seven or eight years."

"So long..."

Qi Shaocheng's peach blossom eyes behind the glasses were shining, as if he was thinking about something.

"You've been with her for so long, you must know her well, right?"

"What do you mean?" Qiao Yiyi immediately became alert, not knowing why he was asking about Zhao Anna.

Qi Shaocheng saw her alert look and laughed: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just asking casually."

Qiao Yiyi didn't believe it.

Although she didn't know much about the company's internal affairs, she would never believe that Sister Anna could be suppressed to this extent by the new agency director without the help of the man in front of her.

Qi Shaocheng didn't care whether she believed it or not. Instead, he stroked something that looked like a crystal ball in his hand and said, "You've been doing very well recently. More and more advertisers and platforms are looking for you, and some of them are internationally renowned brands."

Qiao Yiyi said "oh" lightly.

Then I felt something was wrong: "Why didn't Sister Anna tell me this?"

Qi Shaocheng shifted his gaze from the crystal ball to Qiao Yiyi's face, and smiled intriguingly: "Because she has already submitted her resignation and will be leaving the company soon."

"What?" Qiao Yiyi was struck by lightning.

Sister Anna is leaving Star Dream Entertainment?

How is this possible!

Sister Anna has watched Star Dream Entertainment grow step by step.

Although Zhao Anna had said some strange things to her before, she never expected that Sister Anna would leave the company.

The man in front of her was not at all surprised by her reaction.

He stood up from the couch, put on his shoes, sat back at his desk, and straightened his tie. Now, he looked less dandy and more like a CEO.

Qi Shaocheng took out a few contracts and flipped through them. "These are the brands and program teams that approached us. I've looked them over for you, and they're all pretty good. Director Wu's new movie, in particular, has a lot of big names in it, even He Yao is in it. If you act in it, even if it's a supporting role, it'll definitely add a layer of gold to your resume."

Qiao Yiyi keenly grasped the key point in his words - if.

She said nothing, but stared at the man in front of her with a serious look.

But Qi Shaocheng said, "As the head of the company, I should be very happy to see my artists achieve such results. But..."

He sighed, looking embarrassed, and said, "Your contract with the company is about to expire."

He looked at Qiao Yiyi, his hands resting on his chin: "So what are your plans?"

Qiao Yiyi understood that the new president was using these announcements of hers as a disguised form of negotiation with her.

She met Qi Shaocheng's gaze and asked in a deep voice, "What if I renew my contract with the company?"

Qi Shaocheng's beautiful peach blossom eyes overflowed with a smile: "I will make you the number one sister in the company."

Qiao Yiyi said "oh" and asked, "What if you don't renew it?"

Qi Shaocheng laughed: "You are really naive. If you don't renew it, all these will be gone."

Qiao Yiyi: "So isn't it redundant for you to ask me this question?"

Qi Shaocheng shook his head: "It's different. I want to hear your own wishes from your mouth."

Qiao Yiyi was speechless.

The person in front of me is simply both a hypocrite and a hypocrite.

If she herself proposed to renew the contract, the company would take the initiative and have the initiative over her contract and announcements, and could lower the price and exploit her in any way it wanted.

If you don't renew your contract...

She looked at the deeper meaning behind the smile of the person in front of her, and the consequences were obvious.

Therefore, this is not a question of her wishes at all, but a unilateral judgment.

As for why he asked her again, it was probably to test her.

"So, what do you think?"

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and asked expectantly.

Qiao Yiyi looked at him quietly for a while, took a deep breath, and made a decision in her heart.

Although I know that people should not act impulsively sometimes, I also know that for an adult, going against interests is a very childish thing to do.

But there was nothing she could do, she was just so childish - she hated the feeling of being controlled by others.

Before, out of a sense of responsibility, she diligently did what she was supposed to do, but now the compensation has been paid off, and she has made a lot of money for the company, so she doesn't owe the company anything.

Since the contract will expire soon, there is no need for her to hang herself on a tree.

A tree that doesn't move dies, but a person who moves lives. She just doesn't believe that she can't survive without Star Dream Entertainment.

Besides, she had no obsession with the entertainment industry.

Besides, all the familiar people have left, so there is no desire to stay here.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yiyi said to Qi Shaocheng, "Thank you for the company's years of training, and thank you for Mr. Qi's kindness. When the contract expires, I will not renew it."

Qi Shaocheng was a little surprised: "Are you sure?"

Qiao Yiyi nodded firmly: "OK."

Qi Shaocheng stared at her with complicated eyes for a while, then said, "You should know that every female artist like you in the entertainment industry is a competitor. If you leave Xingmeng Entertainment, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and I will no longer protect you like before."

You said the same thing as you did to me before.

Qiao Yiyi rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Okay," Qi Shaocheng suppressed his smile and put the contract back where it belonged. "You can go back. I'll have someone notify you if there's any further notice."

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

This person changes his expression too quickly.

However, she left the president's office, took the elevator all the way to the first floor and walked out of the lobby. Although she had been full of energy and determination just now, she felt very refreshed to confront the president.

Looking up at the dazzling sunlight in the clear sky, she suddenly realized that she might be unemployed.
