Chapter 480 Chen Fangqiu Logs Offline
Xu Yue looked at her sympathetically and slowly shook her head. "It's just like what you saw. I secretly recorded it. Not many people know about it now. You can decide how to handle it."
Shen Xuewei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped up, yelling:
"He's only been famous for a short time! He gave up a perfectly good future to do drugs..."
She didn't say the rest, but instead plopped down on the sofa and began to think of a solution.
Xu Yue didn't speak until she had vented her emotions, and there was a hint of regret in her voice.
"He's too impatient. He's eager to get more, but he's gotten himself into it. I heard he's been in contact with other agencies recently and is considering terminating his contract with our company?"
Tan Jiashu has become arrogant since he became famous, and Tide Media has little control over him.
Beset with negative news such as diva behavior, assault, spitting in the local area, and bullying newcomers, he is the company's number one headache artist, but also the artist who earned the most money for the company in the past two years.
As another cash cow for the company, Xu Yue also earned a lot, but the revenue she brought to the company was not as much as Tan Jiashu's.
As an artist with several hit works, it's not that Xu Yue's income is less than Tan Jiashu's, but rather that the two have different profit-sharing agreements with their companies.
Xu Yue and the company split the profits 8:2, with Xu Yue receiving 8 and the company receiving 2.
When Tan Jiashu switched jobs, he signed a 50/50 revenue split agreement with the company.
Xu Yue kept most of what she earned, while Tan Jiashu had to give half of what he earned to the company.
Tide Media both loved and hated him, and their daily routine consisted of cleaning up his messes.
His contract with Tide Media still has a few years left, but the resources that Tide Media can currently provide him are no longer satisfactory, which has led him to consider seeking other opportunities.
Of course, Tide Media was unwilling. They had only made him a cash cow for two years, and there would be even more opportunities to make money in the future. They were not willing to let him go so easily.
If a top star like him were to leave, the penalty for breach of contract would start at nine figures.
However, more than the nine figures, Shen Xuewei was more concerned about his extraordinary earning power.
As long as he remains with Tide Media, his individual artist revenue alone would already be in the nine figures.
How could the company easily let go of such a cash cow?
However, after watching this video, Shen Xuewei's originally unbreakable heart began to waver.
This is a time bomb; it could explode any day now.
But it only made the company money for two years; that's a mountain of gold. It would be such a waste to let it go like this...
Xu Yue stared at her face, which kept changing before finally settling into calm.
She knew that Shen Xuewei probably already had a plan in mind.
After making her decision, Shen Xuewei suddenly remembered what Xu Yue had just said.
"Ah Yue, did you secretly film this video? Were you discovered? Did they do anything to you?"
Xu Yue shook her head. "I'm fine. They probably didn't notice. I'm a top-tier celebrity now, with so much attention. Even if they found out I was taking pictures without my consent, they wouldn't do anything to me."
The entertainment industry is a mixed bag; any artist who makes it to the top must have a good eye for talent.
Xu Yue dared to film it, but she would never dare to release the video.
Those people are confident about this.
They did know Xu Yue well; Xu Yue had only told Shen Xuewei about this, and Shen Xuewei wasn't the type to talk about things casually.
All she can do now is avoid potential losses in the future.
Less than half a month later, Tan Jiashu and Chaoxi Media simultaneously posted on Weibo about their peaceful termination of the contract, and Tan Jiashu's fans cheered and rejoiced in the comments section.
Although Tide Media no longer has Tan Jiashu, among its male artists, there is still Wei Xu, who entered the public eye and became a second-tier artist due to another dual male lead drama.
Wei Xu is younger and more obedient than Tan Jiashu, and he has signed a longer contract.
After losing Tan Jiashu, Tide Media suffered losses, but as Wei Xu's fame increases, the revenue from artists will gradually recover.
Moreover, Tide Media has so many artists, there will always be opportunities.
Besides Tan Jiashu, who is on the verge of collapse, several other celebrities in the entertainment industry have also fallen from grace.
It's either taxes or sleep.
Meanwhile, major bad news also came from the live streaming industry: Mu Shuangshuang was punished for evading 417 million yuan in taxes.
That evening, her Taobao livestreaming room and accounts on multiple platforms such as Weibo and Douyin were banned, bringing her livestreaming career to a standstill.
Shen Xuewei was not surprised when she saw this trending topic.
With Mu Shuangshuang's downfall, Lu Li is the biggest beneficiary.
As a result, Lu Li finally became the top female streamer on Taobao Live.
After reading the news about Mu Shuangshuang's house collapse, Shen Xuewei was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep when she received a call from Chen Fangli.
Chen Fangli's tone was serious, yet tinged with a hint of panic:
“Weiwei, your...your uncle has killed a lot of people, and this time he may be sentenced to death.”
Shen Xuewei suddenly sat up, holding her phone in disbelief.
Chen Fangqiu has only been out of prison for a few years, and he's already killed someone again?
After listening to Chen Fangli finish her story, choking back tears, and hearing that Chen Fangqiu had killed Chen Xiangheng's family and the person who had taken Chen Fangran's college entrance exam score back then, it became clear that...
Shen Xuewei remained silent, recalling Chen Fangyang's smile from back then.
The Chen family was found dead in their home, and their bodies were not discovered until three days later, when no one had left the house.
Meanwhile, Chen Fangqiu was already lying in wait outside another residential area. When he spotted his target, he quickly walked over and stabbed him several times. The man died before he could even get into the ambulance.
This person was no ordinary individual; he was a leader in the city management bureau. It took the city management bureau several months of observation to figure out his daily get off work schedule.
They saw off Chen Fangheng's family first, and then came to see him off.
Chen Fangqiu was escorted into a car by several policemen, his expression both manic and carefree.
He was useless and knew he was being used, but he did it willingly.
He knew what his parents regretted, and now that he had avenged them, he could face them in the afterlife.
He is Chen Fangqiu, and he has never been the reincarnation of Chen Fangran.
Before he committed the crime, he had already posted the background information on Weibo. After he was arrested for murder in broad daylight and made local news headlines, his previous Weibo posts were also discovered.
After trending on Weibo, it was quickly suppressed, and eventually even the account was taken down.
Due to the heinous nature of the crime, its significant social impact, and the conclusive evidence, it took only two months from the time the crime was committed to the execution of the death penalty.
The last time Shen Xuewei saw Chen Fangqiu, he was placed in a small jar and buried by Chen Fangyang and a few others.
The Chen siblings stood silently in front of the grave until a light rain began to fall, at which point they left.
Shen Xuewei lagged behind, looking at the heavy and overweight figure in front of her, as if she were seeing her second uncle for the first time.
Seeing that Shen Xuewei had fallen behind, Chen Fangli jogged back with her umbrella.
"Weiwei, what are you standing there in a daze? Go back quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
Shen Xuewei met her worried eyes, replied "okay," and left in the car with her.
