Chapter 402: Preparation for Closing the Net
Shen Zhichu was watching the trending video online and saw Zheng Xiuxiu being disfigured and blinded by sulfuric acid. She looked at Bai Qiujing who was quietly operating the computer beside her.
"Did you do the sulfuric acid thing?"
Bai Qiujing's fingers stopped, and his body naturally moved closer to Shen Zhichu, looking at the news content on the screen in front of her.
"No." Shen Zhichu said she would come in person, so he didn't interfere too much.
Shen Zhichu leaked all kinds of information about Zheng Xiuxiu to her black fan group, and she no longer considered what would happen next. For this kind of scum who loves to exploit loopholes in the law, fighting violence with violence is undoubtedly the best method.
The cat abuse recording was exposed, and Xia Yanyue would not let Zheng Xiuxiu go easily. She was disfigured and blinded by sulfuric acid in the hospital. The double torture led to a miserable ending.
The first step of revenge for Nian Nian was completed smoothly, but Shen Zhichu did not feel happy at all.
These evil people deserve the punishment they receive, but they are gone year after year and will never come back.
…….
The fact that a mentally ill person suddenly appeared at the airport and threw sulfuric acid at Zheng Xiuxiu was unusual no matter how you looked at it.
How did a mentally ill patient get out of a mental hospital smoothly and get sulfuric acid, and how did he accurately pour it on Zheng Xiuxiu in the crowded and chaotic airport? There must be no one behind this.
Not Bai Qiujing, the first person Shen Zhichu thought of was Li Jingshen, who was good at using tit-for-tat tactics.
Lu Tingchuan is capable of doing this, but he lacks patience. Rather than taking the trouble to let others do it, he would definitely prefer to do it himself.
"X Entertainment's shares have been declining. It's time for us to close the loop."
Shen Zhichu came back to his senses and looked at Bai Qiujing's computer, the data was obvious.
The main reason for the decline in x Entertainment's stock price was that Xia Yanyue was involved in a cat abuse incident, which damaged the company's image. Many brands specifically asked to terminate their contracts with Xia Yanyue.
Xia Yanyue is the spokesperson and pillar of X Entertainment. She is the most valuable person in the entire company. If the company wants to quickly resolve the falling stock price, it must step in to solve it.
X Entertainment's public relations department had already started working on various plans since receiving the news in the morning. The best plan was to follow the old routine, which was to let Shen Zhichu take the blame and solve the problem.
After all, it was Shen Zhichu’s cat that died.
Shen Zhichu looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the morning. She placed her hands lightly on the table, and her slender fingers tapped the table lightly. The slight movement was particularly clear in the quiet study, like the sound of a clock moving.
Shen Zhichu stared at his phone as if waiting for something, and after a while the phone rang.
She looked at the contact above. Here it comes. Shen Zhichu propped herself up, reached out, slid her finger over, answered the call, and pressed the hands-free key.
Bai Qiujing remained silent.
The person who called Shen Zhichu was Mr. Liu from X Entertainment.
As soon as the phone was picked up, Mr. Liu exchanged a few pleasantries with Shen Zhichu: "Zhichu, what are you busy with recently?"
"Busy repairing people."
The voice on the phone paused. It was obvious that they didn't expect Shen Zhichu to be so direct and say such a sharp sentence. How long has it been since they last met?
"Mr. Liu, you called me during your busy schedule, so it's not to greet me."
"Well, I heard that your cat died and you were feeling a little down, so I wanted to come and comfort you. Don't be too sad. It's just a cat. If it dies, you can buy another one. You can buy a ragdoll cat for two or three thousand."
"Mr. Liu is here to persuade me to buy a new cat?"
"The company paid for you to buy the cat. I just want to tell you not to ruin the relationship over a cat. You are also a member of the company. We are all family."
His tone seemed gentle and persuasive, but in fact he was trying to use the company to suppress her in every way.
These people haven't seen her for a long time and let her fend for herself. They may still think she is a punching bag with no background who can be bullied at will.
"So what does it mean to be a family?"
Mr. Liu heard Shen Zhichu's gentle voice and thought she had fallen for a trick, so he said, "The company has decided to hold a press conference for you. Just say that you don't blame anyone for the cat abuse incident and that you were planning to get a new cat. Don't worry, the company won't treat you unfairly. Once you resolve the cat abuse issue, the company will give you an endorsement."
Shen Zhichu's expression was gentle, but in fact, his hands on the table were clenched into fists.
Bai Qiujing, who was listening on the side, also had an ugly expression on his face.
"What if I don't agree?"
"Chen Zhichu, don't forget that you are an artist in the company. You still have seven years of contract. I can freeze you at any time." If soft tactics don't work, they will use hard tactics. This is their common tactic. Others will give a slap and then give a candy, but these scumbags will give a slap and then talk about giving a candy.
Mr. Liu pretended that he had plenty of ways to deal with Shen Zhichu, and he also expected that Shen Zhichu would not dare to break the contract. After all, the sky-high penalty for breach of contract was not something that ordinary people could afford.
"Mr. Liu, your tactics are outdated. If you want to threaten someone, try threatening someone else. Xia Yanyue teamed up with Zheng Xiuxiu to kill my cat. I'm already doing a good job by not killing her myself. You still want me to 'forgive' her? You're taking yourself too seriously."
"From what you said, you don't want to."
"I don't want to." Shen Zhichu changed the subject and reminded, "I have already changed my Weibo account to a private one. It won't work if you try to use the same trick as last time."
Mr. Liu said sinisterly, "Chen Zhichu, it seems you're trying to go against the company? You better think clearly. You're just a little country girl with no background or connections. What can you use to fight me? Do you really think you can rely on Bai Qiujing as a big tree? I'm telling you, these rich people are just playing with you. You're worthless in their eyes, just like Lu Tingchuan back then. Remember this."
Bai Qiujing didn't expect that he would be mentioned in this case. His eyes darkened and his brows were shrouded in gloom. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Zhichu put his hand on his to stop him from speaking.
Seeing that no one spoke on the phone, but the call was still going on, Mr. Liu thought that Shen Zhichu was scared by him, so he continued to threaten.
"This isn't just your problem now. Do you know how much of an impact your cat has on the company? You must step in and resolve this, or I'll hold you responsible for the company's losses and make you pay for it."
Shen Zhichu said slowly: "Don't worry, I will solve the company's losses soon. Please be mentally prepared, Mr. Liu."
Mr. Liu felt something was wrong when he heard her sarcastic tone, but he was too angry to think too much about it.
"I'm glad you figured it out. Let me warn you again, don't even think about terminating the contract. The penalty is not something you can afford." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Shen Zhichu didn't even glance at the phone on the table, and said directly to Bai Qiujing: "Close the internet bar and make them disappear at noon."
"Just make them disappear?" Bai Qiujing's face was very cold. This was the first time Shen Zhichu saw him angry.
Bai Qiujing knew that Shen Zhichu was having a hard time in this company, but from the sound of this call, it was no longer a question of whether it was good or not. It was that this company did not treat Shen Zhichu as a human being at all, but just a useful tool.
"I've found out there's illegal trading going on. I can send them to jail for a few years."
"I'll leave it to you. Where's Xu Nian?"
"On the way. Are you going to see her today?"
"No, see you tomorrow. Things have to be solved one by one."
…………
On the other side is the office building of x Entertainment Company.
After Mr. Liu hung up the phone, he looked at Liu Qiang, who was lowering his head in front of him, with contempt: "It's not a big deal. A small figure like Shen Zhichu is crushing her like stepping on an ant. I don't know why you asked me to be wary of her."
"She agreed?"
"She dares to disagree. She was the one who took the blame for Xia Yanyue being secretly photographed last year. It's been a year. If she had the ability, she would have resisted long ago and would not have waited so long." Mr. Liu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box. Liu Qiang in front of him saw it and quickly took out his lighter to light it.
Mr. Liu exhaled a puff of cigarette, half-closed his eyes and said, "It's not easy for people who are inherently weak to hold on. Wasn't Chen Zhichu so angry before and unwilling to take the blame, but in the end he became a tool."
Liu Qiang really wanted to tell him that the current Shen Zhichu is no longer the Shen Zhichu of the past.
Shen Zhichu has the recording in her hand, and she also has the termination contract he gave her. As long as she signs it, Shen Zhichu can leave.
Liu Qiang didn't expect Xia Yanyue to cause such a big incident, even though he had clearly warned her before.
But... What surprised him even more was that Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing knew each other. The trigger of this incident was that Bai Qiujing took the lead in helping Shen Zhichu post the video on Weibo. The number of likes on that Weibo has exceeded 30 million.
Liu Qiang was worried that if Mr. Liu called Shen Zhichu, Shen Zhichu would directly take out the termination contract to terminate the contract, but Shen Zhichu did not mention it at all, as if she did not have the termination contract in her hand at all.
This made Liu Qiang even more worried. He was like a grasshopper hanging on the edge of a cliff, and he would be swept down if he was not careful.
He was the one who secretly signed the termination contract to Shen Zhichu. If Mr. Liu knew about it now, he would be in great trouble.
Is it because Shen Zhichu is afraid of Mr. Liu that he doesn't terminate the contract at this time? Liu Qiang doesn't think so. He feels uneasy and always feels that Shen Zhichu is waiting for him.
"Liu Qiang, you are Shen Zhichu's agent. You should suppress her, not the other way around."
"Mr. Liu, I think we should be more cautious. We should think of other solutions. Multiple options and multiple paths."
Mr. Liu asked him back, "Then tell me what PR plan is this simple and crude? The cat belongs to Shen Zhichu, and if it dies, she should be responsible for it."
“But I think Shen Zhichu has changed. He won’t compromise so easily.”
"Don't worry about that. She already agreed on the phone and told me to be mentally prepared."
These words did not sound good no matter how you listened to them. Liu Qiang was about to say something, but was directly driven out by General Manager Liu. General Manager Liu was confident that Shen Zhichu was a bird in a cage and could not fly out no matter how she flapped her wings.
"Go out. We'll know the result at noon. She doesn't dare to do anything."
