Chapter 18

He went to hang out in the small group.

Xie Yang: Brother Biao, go and discuss with Wen Yi and see if you can get Wen Yi, Tong Jian, and Ke Lan to issue a joint announcement to part ways amicably.

Hu Biao didn't reply, probably because he was busy, but Tong Jian popped up immediately.

Tong Jian: Yangyang, isn’t it a bad idea to issue this kind of announcement now? The fans will be more excited. And will Wen Yi help us issue this kind of announcement? Everyone has left, and Mo Bin has made such a fuss again. Wen Yi must be very angry with IUD now.

Xie Yang explained: There is nothing wrong with it. The sooner we break up with Mo Bin, the better it will be for us. You don't have to worry that Wen Yi won't issue an announcement. Now Mo Bin has been smearing Wen Yi on Weibo. In order to whitewash the company's image, Wen Yi will definitely issue this announcement.

Tong Jian didn't quite understand and asked more questions.

Xie Yang was silent for a few seconds and typed: Ke Lan, Chen Hao, are you here? Come out and explain in detail to Tong Jian.

Tong Jian: ...

After leaving the "problem child" to other people, Xie Yang called Hu Biao. Hu Biao was out looking for performance venues and was too busy to check the group chat. After receiving Jie Yang's call, he immediately said that he would be responsible for the announcement.

Xie Yang listened to Hu Biao's hoarse voice, counted the tasks that were now on Hu Biao's shoulders, frowned, called Wu Shui again, and asked, "Where did Qiu Xing recruit all of you? I'm seriously short of staff here, and I want to recruit a few more people."

Wu Shui replied straightforwardly: "Boss, I was trained by my enemies at their expense."

“…”

When he didn't ask.

Xie Yang hung up the phone and started thinking about where to get some reliable talents.

Now the company is still in the process of being registered and looking for an office building. Normal recruitment channels are not possible, so he can only recruit talent through his connections, but his connections are really thin... Xie Yang thought of Qiu Xing again.

As the biggest villain in this article, Qiu Xing has a lot of talented people at his disposal, but... Xie Yang flipped through the WeChat chat history with Qiu Xing, and for a rare moment he felt guilty and did some self-reflection.

It seems like I've been having too much trouble lately. It's not good to always take advantage of your enemies.

...Forget it. Qiu Xing is busy, so I won’t look for him this time.

Xie Yang reluctantly gave up his plan to ask Chou Xing for help and instead mobilized Ke Lan and Xu Chenhao to poach people from their respective circles of contacts.

The next day, Wen Yi responded to Hu Biao's request to issue a joint announcement, saying that the announcement could be issued, but in the announcement Wen Yi would not whitewash IUD and would tell the public truthfully that the reason why Ke Lan and Tong Jian did not renew their contract with Wen Yi was because Mo Bin insisted on leaving, resulting in IUD being incomplete, and Ke Lan and Tong Jian were discouraged and wanted to leave themselves. The company had tried hard to retain Ke Lan and Tong Jian, saying that they could sign them individually, but Ke Lan and Tong Jian refused.

In addition, Wen Yi also asked Hu Biao to issue a statement, taking all the blame for arranging Jie Yang to join the group, and clarifying to the outside world that Wen Yi had never forcefully intervened in IUD affairs.

Tong Jian was furious when he learned about these two requests, and said in the group: The first request is nothing, just report the facts, but what about the second request? It was obviously the company's decision to add IUD and the new person. Biao was just afraid that the company would randomly stuff people into his group, so he fought for the right to choose his own people. Why should Biao be the only one to take the blame now!

Xie Yang: So in your eyes, I am the one who is hurting others?

The group fell silent instantly.

Xie Yang was satisfied and typed: Brother Biao, what do you think?

Hu Biao: It was indeed me who took the initiative to communicate with the company and wanted to find a new person to fill the position of IUD. Wen Yi’s request was not excessive. And I don't regret having you get the IUD, and this shouldn't be a point of criticism for me.

Xie Yang smiled and typed: Let’s prepare to send out the announcement, and by the way, let Wen Yi help us contact the performance venue. Brother Biao, please don't go out there. We have no background, no connections, and no resources. It's hard to rent a venue. Even if we do, we don't know how long we'll have to wait in line.

Everyone: ...Huh?

Tong Jian: Let Wen Yi contact the performance venue for us? ! But haven’t we all left the meaning of the text?

Xie Yang said earnestly: But Wen Yi is now asking Brother Biao to take the blame. Brother Biao has suffered so much injustice, shouldn’t Wen Yi compensate Brother Biao in some way?

Everyone: ...

Hu Biao felt inferior to him, so he closed the group chat and went to negotiate with Wen Yi.

At 8 o'clock that evening, Wenyi's official Weibo released an announcement, announcing that Ke Lan and Tong Jian would no longer renew their contracts with Wenyi, and detailed the reasons why Ke Lan and Tong Jian would not renew their contracts below, and then thanked Ke Lan and Tong Jian for their contributions to the company over the years, and wished Ke Lan and Tong Jian a better future.

After the announcement was issued, Ke Lan and Tong Jian immediately reposted it using their big accounts, and wrote a message to thank Wen Yi for his care and cultivation over the years, and also wished Wen Yi greater success in the future.

The fans who were following the rhythm started by Mo Bin and cursing Wen Yi for exploiting and bullying IUD were all dumbfounded. After repeatedly reading Wen Yi's announcement about the reasons why Ke Lan and Tong Jian did not renew their contracts, they became confused and panicked, and felt that something was wrong.

They understand why they shouldn't renew the contract. Now that things are so ugly between the two sides, it's normal not to renew the contract. But why did the announcement only mention Ke Lan, Tong Jian and Mo Bin? What else does it mean "Because Mo Bin's personal wishes are contrary to the wishes of other IUD team members and the company's wishes, after Mo Bin made his decision, Ke Lan and Tong Jian decided not to renew the contract"? And what does it mean that “Tong Jian and Ke Lan rejected the company’s single-sign invitation”?

Going against the wishes of other team members? The old team members have such a long-standing relationship, how could they possibly go against each other! Single signature? IUD is a whole. Why did Wen Yi send individual signing invitations to Ke Lan and Tong Jian?

Fake! nonsense!

The fans went crazy. Most of them refused to accept and believe the information revealed in the announcement. A small number of Mo Bin’s radical fans began to scold Ke Lan and Tong Jian, accusing them of betraying Mo Bin when Mo Bin was fighting for the company for everyone, and choosing to be Wen Yi’s lackeys, calling them heartless ungrateful people!

Perhaps because they saw that Mo Bin’s fans were cursing too harshly and taking up too much of the moral high ground, a blogger who had long been identified as an internal employee of Wenyi and opened a secondary account came out and posted a very sarcastic Weibo post.

My Momo is the cutest: Tsk tsk tsk, who is the ungrateful one? Someone forced away old teammates and used new teammates as a raft, making all kinds of calculations just to allow himself to fly solo with a clean slate. What a good plan. The next team had already been found and he still had the nerve to act like a big brother. I felt sorry for the newbie who joined the team with dreams but was completely cheated, and the other two veteran team members who didn't know the truth until the very end.

The fans were at a sensitive stage and when they came across this passage, they were almost choked to death by the amount of information in it. Mo Bin's fans were even crazier, scolding the blogger over and over again, asking Wen Yi Gou not to come out and confuse the public.

After being scolded by Mo Bin’s fans with more than a thousand comments, the blogger posted an even more sarcastic Weibo post.

My son Mo Mo is the cutest: Some fans are also double standards. Your brother is the most innocent and pitiful one. He refused to participate in the fifth anniversary performance because he was sick. But why is it that your brother is really sick, while the newcomer is just pretending to be sick? Your brother may lose his voice due to stress, but you can’t allow the newcomer to become so nervous during his first show recording that he becomes blind? I also want to say that your brother is pretending to be sick. In those airport photos you guys licked this afternoon, your brother looked very energetic~

Mo Bin's fans became more and more angry, while fans of other members gradually fell silent after digesting the information given by the blogger.

Later, the blogger posted a third Weibo post: Fans of other team members please stop sending me private messages asking about the situation. I can only say that Wen Yi and the other two innocent team members did part ways amicably. The innocent team members have a very good agent and they will have a better future.

The situation has been completely messed up.

Xie Yang was satisfied, so he closed the Weibo homepage of "Little Momo" and called Hu Biao to issue a resignation statement.

Hu Biao sighed, thanked his old friend Wen Yi for helping him to set the pace, logged into his Weibo, and posted the resignation statement he had prepared long ago.

Hu Biao wrote his own resignation statement, in which he said that he had resigned a few days ago and would no longer be an employee of Wen Yi. Afterwards, he explained in detail how Xie Yang joined IUD, saying that Xie Yang was not the airdropped fool with a backstage as rumored, but an outstanding newcomer selected by him personally and agreed to by IUD captain Mo Bin to join the team.

Finally, he solemnly thanked Wen Yi for his unconditional support for his work and the high degree of autonomy he granted him during his tenure, and wished Wen Yi a better future.

IUD’s fans basically all follow Hu Biao. When Hu Biao made this statement, his fans were confused again.

Hu Biao actually resigned? And what does "Captain Mo Bin personally agreed to join the team" mean? And what does the sentence at the end that thanks the company for its “unconditional support” and “high degree of autonomy” mean? Why does it seem like it's hinting at something...

No one is stupid. Now Wen Yi, Ke Lan, Tong Jian and Hu Biao are all in the same camp, leaving only Mo Bin behind. What this means is self-evident.

The IUD super topic was in chaos. Fans who had previously united to curse Wen Yi quickly took sides. The fans of only one of them defended their own idols, and the CP fans were excited to watch the show. Only the fans of the group were desperate and confused. They ran to the Weibo of each IUD team member to ask them what was going on, hoping that they could give an accurate explanation. They didn't believe that there was an internal problem with IUD.

After several big news came out in succession, IUD has successfully become popular again on Weibo. Various topics with the name of IUD have become hot searches, and the popularity continues to rise.

In contrast to the liveliness on Weibo, the atmosphere in the small group was quite depressing.

Tong Jian said sadly: Many fans sent me private messages asking me why, what happened, begging me not to leave IUD, Brother Lan, Brother Hao, did we do something wrong...

Ke Lan: No, it’s Mo Bin who is wrong.

Xu Chenhao: This day will come sooner or later.

Tong Jian stopped talking, probably crying.

After Xie Yang finished eating melons, he opened a group chat. Seeing everyone's listless look, he sneered and typed: No future. If you don’t want to make your fans sad, just tell them that although the captain of IUD is gone and the company is gone, IUD is still there, the memorial performance will be held as scheduled, and the new song is already being recorded.

Xie Yang: Don’t forget our goal, which is to let IUD disband with honor.
