Chapter 227 The Dust Settles
Looking at Qiao Yan in front of him, Yu Dong, the head of the investigation team of Xingyao Entertainment, had an official smile on his face, but he was very dissatisfied with Qiao Yan in his heart. As a contracted artist of the company, she violated the contract and accepted interviews privately, putting the company in a huge public opinion storm. There was no senior executive of Xingyao Entertainment who did not hate Qiao Yan deeply.
Although all the company executives dislike Qiao Yan, Yu Dong can't do anything to Qiao Yan now, because Xingyao Entertainment's problems still need this woman in front of him. Being controlled by a second- or third-tier artist of his own company is really frustrating.
As an old brokerage company, Xingyao Entertainment was defeated by a small artist, which is a big joke in the circle. This incident also serves as a reminder to other brokerage companies to strengthen the management of their artists.
"Ms. Qiao Fei, the company has investigated this matter and found that it was Zhu Yang's fault. We deeply sympathize with you for everything you've gone through, but we were unaware of this matter. You accepted the interview without informing us, which damaged our reputation."
"Ms. Qiao, this constitutes a serious breach of contract. However, given the special circumstances, the company does not intend to pursue the matter. However, we require your cooperation in restoring the company's reputation in public."
Yu Dong spoke slowly. Although he said it was Qiao Yan's fault, his tone was gentle so as not to make the other party feel rebellious.
While he was saying this, he was also paying attention to Qiao Yan's expression without any expression. Unfortunately, the other party did not react at all. Yu Dong knew that the woman in front of him was not easy to deal with. Also, if she was easy to deal with, she would not do such a thing.
"Manager Yu, you asked me to help the company clarify. There is no problem, but I have been hurt by the company. Although these are Zhu Yang's problems, we are the company's artists. The company let someone like Zhu Yang be our agent, which hurts us. This is also the company's dereliction of duty." Qiao Yan said in a calm tone, without any of the collapse she had during the interview.
Qiao Yan knew very well that she had the final say now, and the company would treat her well, but once Xingyao Entertainment resolved the current crisis, she would no longer be of any use to them, and they would probably turn around and deal harshly with her. After all, it was not easy for Xingyao Entertainment to deal with an artist under its banner.
Qiao Yan knew exactly how much loss Xingyao Entertainment had suffered as a result of the incident she had caused this time, so when she decided to do this, she had already thought of a way out. She could no longer stay in Xingyao Entertainment, but she did not want to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
"Ms. Qiao, if you have any ideas, please feel free to tell me." Yu Dong said good-temperedly.
"Terminate the contract. Under the current circumstances, it is not appropriate for me to stay in Xingyao Entertainment. I hope the company will terminate my contract unconditionally." Qiao Yan stated her conditions very bluntly.
She didn't think her conditions were unreasonable at all. Compared with the reputation of Xingyao Entertainment, an artist's contract termination was nothing.
Hearing this, Yu Dong did not answer immediately. This woman in front of him was really calculating. She had caused such a big mess for the company, and now she wanted to terminate the contract with the company without paying any penalty. The key point was that the company could not refuse.
While Qiao Yan and Yu Dong were negotiating, Zhu Yang received the news. After so many years in the company, he had some connections. He had not been able to contact Qiao Yan in the past few days. The company's attitude was very clear. Now that he knew Qiao Yan was in the company, Zhu Yang had to rush over.
When Zhu Yang arrived at Xingyao Entertainment, Qiao Yan had already reached an agreement with Yu Dong and was about to leave. Just at the company door, she was blocked by Zhu Yang who had rushed over. Without waiting for Qiao Yan to react, Zhu Yang came up and attacked, knocking the sunglasses off Qiao Yan's face with one punch.
Zhu Yang was much stronger than Wu Meixia. Qiao Yan felt her head go blank and her ears started ringing and buzzing. She didn't know how to resist for a moment and was hit by several punches. Zhu Yang beat her and scolded her.
In the current situation, Zhu Yang is powerless to save the situation. He looks for Qiao Yan just to vent his anger.
"You bitch, you were the one who begged me in the first place. All the artists I have are better than you. I don't even look at you, a plastic surgery freak."
"You begged me to give you a chance, but now you're biting me back. I'm going to beat you to death, you bitch."
Zhu Yang's voice was very loud, he did it on purpose. There were many entertainment reporters waiting at the entrance of Xingyao Entertainment. When they saw the two of them fighting, they came forward with cameras in hand to take pictures. Zhu Yang said that all this was for the reporters to hear. Since he was not having a good time, then that bitch Qiao Yan would not have an easy time either.
In order to get the news first, these entertainment reporters did not stop Qiao Yan from being beaten by Zhu Yang. Instead, they excitedly took pictures and kept asking Zhu Yang questions. Zhu Yang also cooperated very well, saying that Qiao Yan wanted to be famous and took the initiative to be someone's mistress, and that this matter had nothing to do with him.
For Xingyao Entertainment, Qiao Yan and Zhu Yang are two big troubles, but entertainment reporters like these two people very much. The entertainment headlines in this period are mainly contributed by these two people.
By the way, Qiao Yan was beaten at the entrance of Xingyao Entertainment, but no staff came out to stop it. It was obvious that they were instructed by their superiors. These two people have ruined the company to such an extent that many innocent artists were implicated and lost their notices.
Xingyao Entertainment is in trouble, and the interests of its employees are inevitably damaged. Now seeing Zhu Yang and the other person fighting each other, everyone in Xingyao Entertainment is happy to watch the joke.
The final outcome was that Qiao Yan called the police and Zhu Yang was taken to the police station for detention. Qiao Yan was beaten black and blue. When she cooperated with Xingyao Entertainment for an interview again, her face could not be seen by others. She wore a mask and sunglasses, covering her face tightly.
Netizens all knew that she was beaten by her agent Zhu Yang. Seeing the bruises on her exposed arms, they felt a little sympathy for her. As for what Zhu Yang said before, some believed it and some did not. Overall, it did not have much impact on Qiao Yan.
The scandal of unspoken rules that shocked the entire network has finally come to an end. Because the evidence is conclusive, Zhu Yang was boycotted by the entire network. Qiao Yan was forced to announce her temporary withdrawal from the entertainment industry due to pressure from interfering in other people's marriages. The other female artists involved have also almost half-withdrawn from the entertainment industry. In the short term, we will not see them on the screen.
As for Xingyao Entertainment, as an agency, it also has an unshirkable responsibility. Even if it said to the public that it was deceived by Zhu Yang, it was the company's fault. Finally, Xingyao Entertainment's official Weibo posted an apology to the public and promised that the company would make rectifications to prevent such incidents from happening again and protect its artists.
Despite this, Xingyao Entertainment's status in the circle was greatly affected after this incident. During this period, it lost many partners, and the high-quality artists that were previously favored were unwilling to sign with Xingyao Entertainment.
Among them, Wei Lai suffered heavy losses. After Wen Jia left, she had no artists who could replace Wen Jia's position. All her resources relied on Wei Lai's connections. But this time, several high-quality partners who had cooperated with her for many years turned to Xinrui Entertainment for cooperation.
Wei Lai was very angry. She didn't expect that she would suffer again at the hands of Qiao Yan. If she had known this would happen, she should have found a way to get rid of this trouble when Zhu Yang signed the contract with Qiao Yan.
The scandal of Xingyao Entertainment has gradually faded, but no one is sure who initially exposed the incident. Some people speculate that it was Wu Meixia. Because of the affair between her husband Wu Qiangzhong and Qiao Yan, the original wife was very angry and took her anger out on Xingyao Entertainment.
The fact is that when other artists under Zhu Yang were exposed for having unspoken rules, Qiao Yan's nude photos were posted online immediately afterwards.
However, it was not Wu Meixia who masterminded all this, nor was she the one who discovered the affair between her husband and Qiao Yan. One day, she received a package, and when she opened it, she found photos of Wu Qiangzhong and Qiao Yan going to a hotel. Because of this, she peeked at Wu Qiangzhong's mobile phone and saw the nude photos of Qiao Yan in the phone.
Wu Meixia was very angry because she was betrayed by her husband of more than 30 years. That's why Qiao Yan's nude photos were exposed and the original wife beat the mistress in the garage. She only targeted Qiao Yan, and the others had nothing to do with her.
However, Wu Meixia also guessed that the person behind the scenes wanted to use her to make Qiao Yan's life difficult.
......
The day after Qian Muchue and others returned to the village, many neighbors came to visit their home. Everyone in the village knew that Grandma Qian had returned to the village, and Wang Da contributed to this.
People who know how to deal with things will bring some food when they visit. This is mainly because everyone knows that Grandma Qian borrowed some grain and oil last night. The family just returned and there are still some things missing at home.
It is said that Grandma Qian has lived in the village for so many years, and few people visit her home on weekdays. Her house is not next to other houses, so when she lives alone, it is cold and lonely all day long.
But today, after not seeing her for three or four years, these neighbors suddenly became very close to her and came to her house to see her one by one, which made Grandma Qian flattered.
There is a saying that goes, "A poor man in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich man in a remote mountain has distant relatives." This probably describes this scene.
Everyone in the village knew that the Qian family had become rich and had a big star. The simple villagers had never seen a star in real life in their lives, so they had to come and take a good look.
As for Gong Chen, everyone knew that he was Qian Muchue's husband, but no one knew his family background, so people had no awe of him and only regarded him as the grandson-in-law of Grandma Qian. In their opinion, Gong Chen was so lucky to marry a big star.
Each of them acted like an elder and gave Gong Chen earnest advice. Although Gong Chen didn't understand a word they said, it didn't stop Qian Muchue from watching them make fun of him.
Gong Chen, the person involved, felt that the people around him had never been so noisy in his life. It made his head swell and was more tiring than working. However, seeing Qian Muchue's secretly happy look, he felt that he could still endure it.
Among the crowd, there were two people who left a deep impression on Qian Muchue, one was Old Mrs. Zhao and the other was Grandma Chen. Old Mrs. Zhao was the old lady who liked to compare herself with Grandma Qian in everything.
Old Mrs. Zhao is getting older and her personality is becoming more and more eccentric. When she heard everyone say that the Qian family has become rich, she couldn't help but run over to see. Then, when she saw Grandma Qian, she couldn't help feeling jealous. Originally, everyone's family background is similar, and she feels that she has more children and grandchildren than Grandma Qian.
As a result, Grandma Qian has become the envy of everyone, especially when seeing Qian Muchue's three children, Old Mrs. Zhao is so jealous that she feels jealous. Her grandson has difficulty in marrying a granddaughter-in-law, let alone having children, as their family simply cannot afford the high bride price.
Old Mrs. Zhao, who always loves to take advantage of others, must have been very upset this time. She even refused the local specialties from City B that Grandma Qian gave her.
"I can't get used to eating these messy things." Old Mrs. Zhao said sourly.
Grandma Qian was not unhappy at all. After Grandma Zhao left, she spoke to Qian Muchue with a smile.
"That old lady Zhao always said that I couldn't enjoy the blessing of children and grandchildren, but now she is very jealous." Grandma Qian said happily.
"That's right, my grandma is very blessed." Qian Muchue responded with a smile.
As for the other Grandma Chen, she was an old lady with a very good temper. Grandma Qian had the best relationship with her in the village. She went to her house to borrow grain and oil last night. The two old ladies sat together and had endless things to talk about. Suddenly, Grandma Chen mentioned something.
"By the way, Sister Qian, I remembered something. A few years ago, a young girl came to the village to look for you, but you were not there. Later, she came to my house to ask about you. I said that you and Mu Xue went to enjoy their lives. I don't know if she contacted you later." Grandma Chen said with a smile.
When Grandma Qian heard that the young girl was looking for her, she was stunned for a moment. She had no relatives to contact, so she asked Grandma Chen for the girl's name and appearance.
Grandma Chen didn't know the girl's name, and when she asked, the girl didn't answer. Grandma Chen was able to remember this incident because the girl was in a strange state at the time, with red eyes and looked like she was about to cry. Grandma Chen thought she must have something important to talk to Grandma Qian about.
Qian Muchue listened to it but had no idea what was going on. The Qian family had simple interpersonal relationships, and she really couldn't imagine that a little girl would suddenly appear out of nowhere and come to see Grandma Qian.
Qian Muchue couldn't think of it, but she didn't worry about it. If there was something important, the other party would probably come to Grandma Qian again. With Qian Muchue's current fame, if it was someone she knew, she could find her through the agency.
In the afternoon, Qian Muchue and Gong Chen took their three children to fish and catch lobsters. It was still very hot in the countryside in July and August, but fortunately there were many trees that could block the sun. The little ones loved to play and didn't care about the heat.
This was also the first time for Gong Chen to do this, so it was a bit novel. The fish in the pond were all raised by the villagers and no one usually fished for them, so the fish were very stupid. Gong Chen caught a lot of them in a short time. The little ones were very excited looking at the fish in the bucket.
Of course, Qian Muchue paid the villagers for these fish, so she couldn't catch fish raised by others for free.
Then, Qian Muchue showed everyone a lobster fishing trick. She tied a piece of meat with a rope and put it in the water. She waited for the lobster to clamp onto it, then she slowly reeled in the rod. After a while, a small crayfish was caught ashore. Qian Xiaoya immediately looked at her mother with admiration. She was so amazing.
The little fat boy was ignorant and fearless, and actually wanted to touch the big claws of the crayfish with his chubby hands. Fortunately, Qian Muchue stopped him quickly. Tang Bao was very obedient, and followed her sister's example, using a small branch to play with the crayfish.
