Chapter 224: Scandal of Xingyao Entertainment
As soon as you open the webpage, all the hot searches are dominated by news about Xingyao Entertainment. The headlines are basically "Shocking! Famous agency Xingyao Entertainment forces its artists to use unspoken rules", "Female artist Qiao Fei reveals that she was forced to use unspoken rules by the agency", "Inside stories of Xingyao Entertainment that you don't know", etc.
One explosive headline after another filled the screen, and the entire Internet was in an uproar. Even some passers-by who didn't care about the entertainment industry knew that there was an agency called Xingyao Entertainment. Xingyao Entertainment was definitely the only company that became famous nationwide because of scandals.
Xi Fei was shocked to see that Xingyao Entertainment was in turmoil because of a female artist, especially since this female artist was Qiao Yan, Qian Muchue's former assistant, an employee she valued very much before.
When Xi Fei saw the news about Qiao Yan before, he didn't take it seriously. After all, people will change once they enter the entertainment industry. It is normal for Qiao Yan to become different from before. But now, seeing that Qiao Yan has taken down Xingyao Entertainment on her own, he has to say that this woman is really ruthless.
Thinking back to the beginning, she thought Qiao Yan was honest and reliable. Fortunately, Qian Muchue fired her. Xi Fei was very grateful that it would be better to leave such a powerful role to Xingyao Entertainment.
In the video, Qiao Yan looked haggard as she was interviewed by reporters. When the reporter mentioned the online rumor that she had interfered in other people's marriages, Qiao Yan confessed it. Her sincere attitude shocked the reporters.
"I was wrong about this. I would like to apologize to Mr. X's wife. Mr. X was very good to me. He gave me a lifeline when I was in trouble and I fell in love with him. But this incident deeply hurt Mr. X's wife. I'm sorry." Qiao Yan in the video said while covering her face and crying.
Although everyone guessed that the Mr. X that Qiao Yan mentioned was Wu Qiangzhong, in order to show that she did not want to implicate Wu Qiangzhong, Qiao Yan still called him Mr. X and packaged the unspoken rules as her love for him because she was moved.
"The company didn't allow me to be interviewed, but I still stood up because I don't want other girls to make the same mistake as me. I come from an ordinary family and my dream since childhood has been to become a professional actor. To this end, I have always worked very hard. I am very happy to be signed with the agency."
"But I didn't expect that after signing the contract, the agent would force us small artists to accompany investors. I wanted to terminate the contract, but I couldn't afford the penalty. Mr. X showed up at this time and treated me very well. Because of Mr. X's help, the agent no longer forced me to accompany other investors."
"I was greedy for Mr. X's kindness to me, and I was afraid that my agent would force me again. I was wrong, and I feel sorry for the fans and friends who have always supported me."
At this point, Qiao Yan in the video was extremely emotional, with tears streaming down her face. To outsiders, it looked like she really felt guilty about what she had done.
"Ms. Qiao Fei, do you mean that Xingyao Entertainment forced its artists to accompany investors?" A reporter asked sharply. This is explosive news, more of a topic than female artists being mistresses.
"Yes, Ms. Qiao Fei, is that what you mean?" other reporters followed and asked.
When the reporter asked him further questions, Qiao Fei looked scared but pretended to be brave.
"I don't know. I only know that all the artists under my agent Zhu Yang are like this. I am saying this today to tell some friends who want to be artists that they must be cautious when signing with an agent, so as not to end up like me with no way back." Qiao Fei said with sobs.
As long as Qiao Yan does not deny it, Xingyao Entertainment cannot be separated from the relationship. The reporters will of course write whatever they want about how popular it is. Logically speaking, Xingyao Entertainment has been operating in the circle for so many years and must have maintained a very good relationship with media reporters. It is not the case that the reporters will write whatever Qiao Yan says.
This is where Qiao Yan's cleverness lies. When she accepted the interview this time, she contacted media reporters who had average or even bad relations with Xingyao Entertainment, without any scruples at all. This is why the scandal of Xingyao Entertainment dominated the hot searches.
The majority of netizens did not expect that things would develop to this point. This is the first time they have seen an artist’s scandal exposed and then turn against her management company. Many netizens even changed their attitude towards her after watching her interview.
They felt that although Qiao Yan made a mistake, she was also a victim and the agency behind her had a greater responsibility, so they turned their spearheads towards Xingyao Entertainment. The few fans of Qiao Yan who had not yet stopped being her fans were also making a fuss.
When the personal incident was brought to the attention of the agency, the emotions of the majority of netizens were aroused, especially those whose idols' agency was Xingyao Entertainment. When they thought that their idols might also encounter something like what happened to Qiao Yan, they immediately became restless and demanded an explanation from Xingyao Entertainment.
The public relations manager of Xingyao Entertainment was furious as he looked at the top of his head where a few more hairs had fallen out. Zhu Yang was such an idiot that he couldn't even manage his own artists. Was he a worthless agent?
The PR manager suppressed his anger and called Zhu Yang several times, but no one answered. He then called Qiao Yan, but no one answered either. The PR manager couldn't help but curse, "You have the ability to cause trouble, but you don't have the ability to answer the phone."
On the other side, Zhu Yang watched his phone ringing but didn't dare to answer it. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the ringing stopped. He had been unable to contact that bitch Qiao Yan, so how could he dare to answer the company's call?
Zhu Yang originally thought that after a while, when the storm was over, even if he could not return to work at Xingyao Entertainment, he could go to another agency with his connections. But now, Qiao Yan has ruined his reputation and directly ended his career as an agent.
If any company dares to use him now, wouldn’t it be telling everyone that their company has unspoken rules and serious artists would not dare to let him be their agent?
Zhu Yang spent all day hunting geese, but he never expected that one day he would be pecked in the eye by a goose. He really misjudged Qiao Yan. If other artists had accused him, it would be understandable, but Qiao Yan clearly wanted to do business on her own initiative, and he didn't like her at all at the beginning. Now that something has happened, this ungrateful person has turned against him.
Zhu Yang now really wanted to rush up to Qiao Yan and slap her hard, but he couldn't. Thanks to Qiao Yan, his residence was now surrounded by reporters. He could only call Qiao Yan, but just like the public relations manager, no one answered.
While the leaders of Xingyao Entertainment were worried about the online incident, Qiao Yan was lying in the bathtub, leisurely enjoying a milk bath, and she did not look haggard at all as she did in the video.
Ever since her interview was broadcast, her phone has been ringing non-stop, but Qiao Yan never answers it. The news still needs time to ferment, so she wants to wait a little longer. Only then will she have the confidence to negotiate with Xingyao Entertainment.
As an artist, she has an agency contract with Xingyao Entertainment. Qiao Yan's unilateral acceptance of the interview has seriously damaged the company's interests. Xingyao Entertainment has the right to ask her to pay compensation for breach of contract, but if Qiao Yan sits idly by, she will most likely be terminated by the company or put on ice.
