Because of the tight schedule, Rong Yu has been working from dawn till dusk, spending almost every day in the dance studio. If it were just learning a new dance, Rong Yu could easily pick it up. The main challenge was that it included elements of gongs and drums.
With the music and choreography completely rearranged and finalized, there were only four days left to practice.
Rong Yu learned quickly, becoming completely familiar with the skill in just three days. On the last day, he was responsible for instructing the other teammates, since he wasn't fighting alone.
With his wife busy with work, Yin Chengjue was left alone in the empty house, and could only talk to Rong Yu via video every day.
The thought that if Rong Yu passed the preliminary round, there would be a final round, and she would have to spend time in the dance studio working on new pieces made Yin Chengjue feel a little depressed.
Sally found a few more scripts for Rong Yu, but because Rong Yu was too busy at the moment, they were all temporarily placed on Yin Chengjue's desk.
After several reorganizations by Yin Chengjue, Huansheng eliminated many scourges. Many of the remaining artists, though well-behaved, remained relatively unknown due to a lack of good resources and required considerable effort to rebuild their careers.
In order to better cultivate artists, Yin Chengjue had to recruit some suitable candidates, conduct unified agent training, and improve the previous agent benefits to motivate the newly signed agent candidates.
Although these are all minor actions, they can still affect Huansheng's development to some extent, so Yin Chengjue strives to do his best.
Moreover, the results are very obvious. Among the group of artists cultivated by Huansheng, three or four out of fifty have entered the public eye through new dramas and gained a group of first-generation fans.
Meanwhile, the development of Xinming's side also achieved the results that Yin Chengjue had expected.
Yin Chengjue felt this was the perfect time, so at a routine meeting, he presented the plan he had prepared long ago—
Let Xinming and Huansheng work together to achieve a win-win result.
However, just as the two companies announced their collaboration on Weibo and simultaneously released several upcoming collaborative works, a video of Su Zi arguing with Yin He in the coffee shop that day was suddenly exposed.
To be honest, Yin Chengjue wasn't worried about the incident being exposed that day. After all, they were in the right, and Su Zi was the one making trouble. Even if it were exposed, it should be Su Zi who was worried.
But who would have thought that the marketing account that exposed the video would cut off the beginning and end of the video, piece it together, and completely distort the truth, claiming that Yin He was being aggressive and that her attitude was despicable.
It would be a lie for Yin Chengjue to say he wasn't angry.
By deliberately releasing this distorted news at the very moment he announced the collaboration between Huansheng and Xinming, isn't he intentionally trying to damage the reputation of both companies?
That's great. He didn't want to touch that pile of garbage because he thought it would get his hands dirty, but the garbage just stuck to him on its own.
However, although Yin Chengjue was angry, he wasn't so angry that he went all out and started a direct confrontation.
He had threatened Su Zi before, and since Su Zi was able to cause trouble despite his threats, she must have been fearless.
"Has something happened at Fengchengda?" This was Yin Chengjue's first thought.
Assistant Guan stood to the side, put down a large stack of documents, adjusted his glasses, and said, "That's exactly what I was going to say. The Feng family has been targeted by the Qi family. The latest batch of products has been found to have problems, and customers are canceling their orders one after another. Now there are a lot of lawsuits to be fought, and the situation is very serious. Before, the Feng family had several supply channels restricted, which severely damaged its strength. In addition, Feng Chengda published those inappropriate remarks online, which damaged the company's reputation and caused the stock to drop. It was not easy to borrow some funds from all sides to keep the company in operation, but now it has all been used up."
Yin Chengjue exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a dogfight? How did it get like this?"
Assistant Guan: "Doesn't President Yin know? This matter has already spread far and wide recently, there's no need for anyone to specifically look into it."
Yin Chengjue: "...It seems I'm just ignorant?"
Assistant Guan: "This story begins with Feng Changheng and Qi Wei's engagement."
Yin Chengjue: "Stop, stop, stop! Feng Changheng is engaged? And who is Qi Wei? Her surname is Qi? Is she from the Qi family?"
Assistant Guan nodded: "Qi Wei is Qi Yunshan's illegitimate daughter. She was only recently recognized by him. Qi Le made a fuss about this for a while, but it eventually came to nothing. After all, you can't fight city hall."
Yin Chengjue was not surprised. Qi Le himself was a womanizer who flirted with women in the entertainment industry. He had learned this temperament from his father. It was not surprising that his father had illegitimate children outside the marriage.
Besides, Qi Yunshan has always looked down on his second son. Even if Qi Le is unhappy about his father bringing back his illegitimate daughter and makes a fuss, he won't be able to cause any real trouble.
Moreover, it seems that this illegitimate daughter's return is not to enjoy a life of luxury, but most likely for a business marriage.
Assistant Guan: "Qi Wei and Feng Changheng's engagement was originally a joyous occasion. The Feng family was able to survive and stand strong despite the Yin family's oppression, largely thanks to the Qi family's support. This engagement would be very beneficial for the Feng family. But who knew that during their engagement ceremony, the content that was supposed to be shown on the big screen for the celebration video was changed to... uh..."
Assistant Guan coughed lightly: "President Yin, are you really unaware of this? That engagement ceremony caused quite a stir, there was even bloodshed, and the police were dispatched."
Yin Chengjue: "Do you have to keep us in suspense halfway through your story?"
Assistant Guan: "Uh... well, the video that was originally supposed to be played at the engagement ceremony was changed to... well, you know, the kind where two people and a bed can act out a video for over an hour, you know?"
Yin Chengjue put aside the documents in front of him and adopted an expression as if he were about to listen intently to gossip: "Who is the lead actor? Feng Changheng?"
Assistant Guan: "Yes, and the other person in the video is a man... Uh, I don't mean to be discriminatory, I'm just stating the facts. Feng Chengda was previously protesting against homosexuality online, but then this provocative video was leaked at Feng Changheng's engagement ceremony. The main characters were Feng Changheng and another man. This infuriated Qi Yunshan, and Qi Wei slapped Feng Changheng on the spot."
Assistant Guan spoke as if he had witnessed it firsthand, describing it vividly: "...Logically speaking, after witnessing something like this, Feng Changheng should have felt guilty, right? He should have apologized to his fiancée, right? But he didn't! He showed absolutely no remorse. After being slapped by Miss Qi, he immediately retaliated. As a grown man, he's definitely stronger than the girl, and he knocked her aside, sending her crashing into a pyramid of wine glasses..."
The empty wine glasses, which were originally used by the engaged couple to pour wine together, were piled high and were not very stable to begin with. When someone smashed them, they immediately tilted and fell over with a clang, shattering all over the ground. Glass shards were scattered everywhere. Feng Changheng's fiancée was slapped to the ground by him, and her thin white dress was instantly torn by the glass shards, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Things had escalated to the point where it was no longer a marriage alliance, but a feud. Qi Yunshan immediately called the police. As for Feng Chengda, he had already fainted from anger after seeing his son's "wonderful" performance in the video.
Assistant Guan: "...Feng Chengda was furious. Although Su Zi didn't die of anger, what could she do? She just made a scene, yelled and screamed, and kept saying that this was a misunderstanding, that someone had framed her, trying her best to exonerate her son. But Qi Yunshan's mistress, who is also Qi Wei's biological mother, is no pushover either. What kind of person is a woman who can carry a child for several years and finally use her daughter to get ahead? Seeing her daughter being pushed down by her fiancé and bleeding from broken glass, she was so angry that she grabbed whatever she could grab and threw it at Feng Changheng..."
As Assistant Guan finished speaking, he felt his mouth was dry, and then he noticed that a glass of warm water had been handed to him. Looking down, he saw that his boss was already sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, gently stirring his coffee with his fingertips, listening with great interest.
At that moment, Assistant Guan felt a strange sensation welling up inside him, especially under Yin Chengjue's interested gaze. He couldn't help but ask, "President Yin, could it be that you did this?"
"Huh?" Yin Chengjue asked, puzzled. "Why would you think that?"
Assistant Guan: "..." Who told you to look so excited, as if you wanted to be the one who did it?
Yin Chengjue: "However, the person who could send such a generous gift to Feng Chengda must hate them to the core, right?"
Assistant Guan: "...That's right. Feng Changheng was hit on the head with a chair by Qi Wei's biological mother on the spot, and his face was slashed by glass. But Qi Wei's mother herself didn't fare much better. Su Zi grabbed her hair and pulled it back, pulling out several clumps of hair. Su Zi also scratched her face with her nails. The group was fighting in the broken glass, and no one could pull them apart."
Assistant Guan: "And Qi Yunshan was a coward. Although he didn't faint like Feng Chengda, he didn't go up and fight with them. He even stayed away and called the police."
Yin Chengjue scoffed: "You think Feng Chengda is really dizzy? I think he's just pretending to be dizzy so he doesn't want to face the situation. That way, even if the truth comes out, he'll be a victim kept in the dark. If he gets sick, people will sympathize with him. He can get another wife and son, but if his reputation is gone, it's really gone. He knows that perfectly well!"
Assistant Guan thought about it and agreed: "Indeed, after this incident, not many people said anything about him. Most people sympathized with him and only said that his son was a disappointment."
