Not long after spending the money, a trending topic was engineered.
With the festive season upon us, many people were home with nothing to do but browse on their smartphones late into the night.
More and more people joined the discussion about the issue, keeping its heat at a high level.
After blowing all her money, the instigator of this all, Yu Ting, was comfortably scrolling on her phone.
Looking at the never-ending messages, Yu Ting chuckled deep within her, leaning back into Lu Nanchen.
For her, this round felt like buying happiness with money.
"Hm? What happened?" Lu Nanchen, who clearly noticed Yu Ting’s good mood, asked attentively, swiping his phone to the bedside table. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Just Shen Ruchu. I bought some happiness at her expense."
Yu Ting explained to Lu Nanchen while she was texting and chatting with Song Zhan.
Song Zhan: I’ve put Shen Ruchu in place.
Song Zhan: This is the way to do it, we’ve got to dent her pride.
Song Zhan: What is there to be proud about with her stiff personality? Is she some endangered wildlife that makes her superior?
...
The chat history stopped on her private conversation with Song Zhan, who was now unleashing a load of complaints after having finished his part.
Being in charge of handling company cooperative projects, he had been messed with by Shen Ruchu for too much and too long.
It was infuriating.
Yu Ting scrolled through the messages and replied a few lines of shared resentment.
Yu Ting: By the way, if there are any new collaborations or changes from Shen Ruchu’s end, remember to tell me.
Song Zhan responded with readiness on his end.
...
Compared to the relaxed ambiance in Lu’s mansion, Xunxing Company was now head over heels, setting one online meeting after another, even dragging working staff into affairs during the festive season.
Originally, Xunxing Company broke its agreement with VG Entertainment just to please Southwest Entertainment.
Now the incident had been exposed, hinting at exploitation by Southwest Entertainment.
The entire company couldn’t clear up the confusion from hundreds of questioning mouths.
How to explain?
Should we say it wasn’t Southwest Entertainment exploiting us, but we acted out of subservience, breaking VG Entertainment’s agreement to show loyalty?
Neither party would be pleased right now.
The project leader was restless at home and looked constipated, deeply frustrated.
The phone in his hand had rung countless times.
VG wanted to withdraw funds and had made lots of demanding calls.
Withdraw funds?
Withdrawal was impossible. The contract with the artist was signed, only the show fee was left to be paid.
50% of the venue cost had been prepaid, and another 50% was yet to be paid.
There wasn’t much left in the first place, and now one to two billion was directly withdrawn.
How is the reality show going to continue?
Ring, ring.
The phone rang again.
It was from VG’s side.
The project leader, full of bitterness, shifted his attention back to Southwest Entertainment.
...
In the meantime,
Southwest Entertainment didn’t have it any easier.
These articles firstly alleged Southwest Entertainment of bureaucratic bullying and exploiting peers.
Then a series of past related issues were dug up.
The company was under relentless journalist phone inquiries.
Shen Ruchu again had to rush back to the company and handle the crises from her office.
"President Shen...Xunxing Company called to ask if you want to invest again."
"Since things are already like this, we might as well complete the variety show, once it becomes popular, it can quiet the news."
"Are they out of their minds?"
Overwhelmed with problems, Shen Ruchu decisively responded.
Her eyes were now full of fierceness.
Southwest Entertainment got all this negative press because of this lousy company, and they still want to collaborate?
