Chapter 991 The Scapegoat



A few days later.

Kyoto, Shenxin Entertainment Headquarters.

The atmosphere in Shenxin Company was a bit strange today. Many people were whispering about something while working, with excitement or confusion on their faces.

There was a feeling of impending storm throughout the company.

Liu Feng was sitting in his office with several documents in front of him that needed his signature, but his eyes were looking at the documents without focus, and he looked absent-minded.

Today is the day when Shenxin Entertainment holds a shareholders' meeting.

All employees within Shenxin knew that President Li Zheng and Vice President Chen Qiao, who had always been at odds with each other, would go head-to-head at this shareholders' meeting.

There have been a lot of rumors recently, the most common one being that Mr. Li has something on Mr. Chen and he may be forced to resign at the shareholders' meeting.

Chen Qiao has been in Shenxin Entertainment for so many years and has cultivated many confidants who are interspersed in various departments. Once he steps down, these people will naturally be cleared out by General Manager Li.

If this is true, Shenxin Entertainment will undoubtedly face a huge shock.

The fate of many people may change after the shareholders' meeting.

The first among them are naturally people like Liu Feng who have been working with Chen Qiao for many years.

He has endured for so many years, from being an artist assistant to becoming an agent, helping Chen Qiao to monitor Yang Jiaxin, and doing many things that are not worthy of being on the stage.

It took a lot of effort to get the position of Minister of Film and Television.

If Chen Qiao really loses power, then this ministerial position, which he hasn't even sat in for long, will belong to someone else.

Liu Feng was thinking when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Yang Yu, the director of the publicity department, who was also Chen Qiao's man.

"Liu Feng, we passed! We passed!"

Yang Yu's voice was excited.

"What passed?"

When Liu Feng heard the suppressed joy in Yang Yu's voice, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"The shareholders' meeting is over, and Mr. Chen won!"

"What do you mean? Explain clearly!"

Liu Feng was delighted and asked immediately.

Yang Yu lowered his voice and continued:

"Mr. Li did get angry at the shareholders' meeting, talking about the company's recent failed investments in film, television, and variety shows.

Mr. Chen said that this was all because Fang Xiaole from Aiyao Entertainment was targeting our company, and he also suggested that Aiyao Entertainment be listed as the most direct competitor.

We will take measures against Aiyao Entertainment in terms of resources in the future."

Liu Feng frowned and said, "That seems a bit far-fetched. Can the shareholders accept it?"

"Yeah, I felt the same way when I first heard about it." Yang Yu was also confused, but then he said excitedly:

"Mr. Chen also said he would voluntarily take a 30% pay cut and would remove some incompetent employees as requested by shareholders. He will then focus all his efforts on attacking Aiyao Entertainment.

After hearing this, the shareholders actually agreed with Mr. Chen and his plan for Aiyao.

"What about Mr. Li? Does he have any objection?" Liu Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment.

"The strangest thing is that Mr. Li didn't raise any objections at the shareholders' meeting, and Mr. Chen got away with it miraculously.

Lao Liu, this way, we can also keep our position!"

Yang Yu became happier as he spoke: "Let's go out for dinner tonight and celebrate!"

"Okay, no problem. Aiyao and Fang Xiaole will take all the blame for this."

Liu Feng nodded in agreement.

"Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect it was Fang Xiaole who blocked this wave for us, hehe."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Liu Feng's face gradually disappeared.

He thought this was too weird.

Because he knew something about the inside story.

Li Zheng has already caught evidence that Mr. Chen has been sexually exploiting female employees. In addition, several projects that Mr. Chen has been in charge of have suffered repeated setbacks in the past six months. These two public and private items combined are enough to make Mr. Chen suffer.

But why did Li Zheng only talk about Mr. Chen’s work performance problems, but did not bring up the most fatal problems in his private life?

Moreover, Mr. Chen said that he would remove employees with insufficient abilities, which is undoubtedly an attempt to shift the blame.

Then who will take the blame?

Liu Feng suddenly thought of Zhang Chengliang, the previous director of the Film and Television Department. He was fired by President Chen as a scapegoat because of the poor box office performance of his movies.

I have done so much for Mr. Chen, so I must be one of his most trusted people, right?

Why wasn't he the first to know such important news? Yang Yu had to tell him. This was too wrong.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng's heart tightened. Could it be...

He called Yang Yu, but the call rang for a long time before it was connected. Liu Feng asked:

"Brother Yang, have you heard anything else?"

A female voice came from the other side: "Minister Liu, this is Xiao Li. Minister Yang has gone to a meeting."

"Meeting? Didn't your Minister Yang just say he had another meeting?"

Liu Feng asked subconsciously.

"Minister Liu, Minister Yang is indeed in a meeting. This meeting will last quite a while. If you have anything to do, why don't you find someone else?"

Yang Yu's subordinate spoke in a somewhat cold tone and hung up the phone.

"Hello?"

Liu Feng looked at his phone in disbelief, feeling increasingly uneasy.

At this time, the office door was pushed open and two people walked in. One of them was someone Liu Feng knew. He was the deputy director of the Human Resources Department, named Xu Gang.

"Minister Xu, why are you here?"

Liu Feng noticed that they did not knock on the door and their expressions were a little cold.

"Liu Feng, I'm here to inform you that because of your work mistakes, the company has suffered losses. According to the contract, the company has the right to fire you.

The finance department will settle your six-month salary. Please complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible and pack up your things and leave."

"What did you say?"

Although he had already vaguely guessed it, Liu Feng's head still buzzed, his ears seemed to be buzzing with the sound of summer cicadas, and his whole body was a little stiff.

Chen Qiao, you really think I'm the scapegoat!

Half a year's salary is Mr. Chen's last kindness, right?

In other words, it's hush money.

"What right do you have to accuse me of mistakes? Xu Gang, you're just a deputy minister. What right do you have to fire me?!"

Liu Feng still couldn't help but make a last-ditch struggle.

"Liu Feng, I'm just conveying the company's decision. Having me inform you is already the greatest honor Mr. Chen has given you. Don't be ungrateful!"

Xu Gang looked at Liu Feng coldly, with something hidden in his words.

Liu Feng completely gave up.

Now he knew that Chen Qiao had already planned to drag him out to take the blame.

After all, a movie and a TV series failed in succession, so someone has to take responsibility. Zhang Chengliang took the blame for the movie, and I took the blame for the TV series.

but,

I know so many of Chen Qiao's secrets. Isn't he afraid that I will reveal them to him?

besides,

Why didn’t Mr. Li present the evidence of Chen Qiao’s sexual harassment of employees at the shareholders’ meeting?

Could it be that the two bosses reached a tacit understanding because of something?

And I became an innocent scapegoat?

Am I fucking you?

Why?!
