Building, seven floors.
As the company's biggest cash cow and China's hottest star, Mu Xiyu's office area is quite large, almost taking up half a floor.
No other celebrity artist has this kind of treatment.
Of course, such a large place is not entirely for her use, but for her team.
Her team has almost a hundred people, almost as many as a company.
This team of hundreds of people usually revolves around Mu Xiyu, obeying Sister Zhang's arrangements and dispatches to handle work matters for her.
This involves multiple departments, such as public relations, makeup, photography, planning, etc.
Sister Zhang, who is said to be Mu Xiyu's agent, is actually the head of this team.
On weekdays, the team is very busy because Mu Xiyu has a full schedule.
But now... everyone is free.
After a long time, some people started to think that Mu Xiyu shouldn't go against President Chu's wishes, causing them to be idle.
If you have less time to spare, your salary will be less.
Of course, although people have ideas, no one dares to mention them in front of Mu Xiyu.
Because they all know that as long as Mu Xiyu is obedient, she will still be the popular goddess!
Let alone them, the whole company has to revolve around her!
But...will Mu Xiyu be obedient?
Some people also understand Mu Xiyu. After working in the entertainment company for a long time, he has seen too many dirty things.
They felt that Mu Xiyu was like a white lotus that emerged from the mud without being stained in this circle... If she was obedient, then this circle would be really dirty.
In this area, in the innermost office, Mu Xiyu was reading a book.
Today, she was wearing casual clothes, holding a book, sitting on the sofa, reading very attentively.
Although the concert was postponed indefinitely and she was very anxious, there was nothing she could do about it.
Except for the first few days, when she was not used to suddenly being idle from her busy state, she later began to enjoy it.
For several years, she has been busy and rarely has time to give her body and mind a break by reading a book or something.
Now...she has found this feeling and likes it.
Recently, she has read a lot of books, such as psychology, philosophy, etc., and gained a lot.
Apart from often thinking about that heartless man, her life was easy and independent.
Whenever she thought of that heartless man, she felt a little aggrieved. This guy...had he really forgotten about her?
She also has a temper!
Don't contact him actively!
Pah pah.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Mu Xiyu raised her head and said.
The office door opened and Sister Zhang came in from outside.
She saw Mu Xiyu reading a book, frowned slightly, and then walked forward.
"Xiyu, are you really not in a hurry? Are you planning to just keep going like this?"
Sister Zhang came to the sofa opposite and sat down.
"I think it's good like this now. Just treat it as a vacation for myself."
Mu Xiyu smiled, lowered her head again and continued reading.
She knew what Sister Zhang came for. It was simply to persuade her not to keep insisting on doing so. She had to bow her head when she should, and obey when she should.
But there were some things she felt she couldn't do, couldn't bow her head, and couldn't obey.
Recently she read a sentence in a book: If a person kneels for too long, he will not be able to stand up again.
She felt that it made sense. When people are alive, they must have faith, they must have pursuits, and they must have... a bottom line!
She has her bottom line.
"Xiyu, then you can let those fans who like you wait for you forever?"
Sister Zhang asked again.
"They are willing to wait. If they are not willing to wait, then they cannot be considered my fans."
Mu Xiyu looked at the book and said lightly.
"I think the fans who really like me will understand me. If they know what I'm facing, they will be willing to wait, even if the concert is nowhere in sight... If I bow my head and obey, I don't think I deserve their love."
“…”
Sister Zhang looked at Mu Xiyu and was silent for a few seconds.
"Xiyu, you can take some time off, and your fans can wait, but what about the people in our team? Can they sit idle and continue to wait?"
"Um?"
Hearing Sister Zhang's words, Mu Xiyu raised her head.
"What's the meaning?"
"Xiyu, we are all adults. Some young people are fine, but what about those who have families? Don't they need to support their families? Now that they are idle, many people's wages have been cut in half, or even one-third less."
Sister Zhang looked at Mu Xiyu and said in a deep voice.
"You can let yourself relax and have no pressure, but it's different for them... It's okay if the time is short, but if it's long, who can afford to delay it?"
Mu Xiyu was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this.
"Xiyu, people can't be too selfish, right? Because you're alone, everyone has free time... Everyone has pressure in life, and can't live completely according to their own ideas, right?"
Sister Zhang said seriously.
"Sister Zhang, you don't have to say anything, I understand."
Seeing that Sister Zhang was about to say something, Mu Xiyu shook her head.
Hearing this, Sister Zhang was delighted. Did she finally figure it out?
"Let's call a meeting. I'll use my personal money to make up for the salary... I really didn't think about this."
Mu Xiyu said softly.
"ah?"
Sister Zhang was stunned. An individual came with money to back pay his salary?
She really didn't expect that Mu Xiyu would have such an idea.
"Xiyu, this is not a small amount of money..."
"It's okay, I can still carry it."
Mu Xiyu said, put down the book and stood up.
"Let's have a meeting."
"Xiyu, things are not that simple now."
A complex look flashed in Sister Zhang's eyes. She didn't expect Mu Xiyu to take out the money herself. To be honest... she was a little impressed.
"Boss Chu has already arranged some people. It won't work if so many of us just sit there idle... We also have to use our space."
"What's the meaning?"
Mu Xiyu frowned.
"That's right... at this afternoon, our team will be disbanded, everyone will be reassigned to other positions, and our office areas, including your office, will be taken back."
Sister Zhang said slowly.
"The company will not keep too many idle people, let alone let them occupy such a large space."
"Are you an idle person?"
Mu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed at herself.
"That's right. I'm an idler now and can't make money for the company... Then what arrangements does Mr. Chu have for me?"
"Another office has been arranged in Area D."
Sister Zhang replied.
"Zone D?"
Mu Xiyu was startled again. That was the office area for the company's trainee artists. It was called an office, but in fact it was just some partitioned rooms, very small.
"Yes, D District, Xiyu, now it all depends on you. As long as you bow your head, everything will be like this now."
Sister Zhang nodded. These were two choices before Mu Xiyu. Either she was obedient and she would still be the "darling" and the "goddess", or she would be banished to the "cold palace".
Mu Xiyu looked at Sister Zhang, smiled at herself, picked up the book on the sofa, and walked out.
"Xiyu, where are you going?"
Sister Zhang asked subconsciously when she saw Mu Xiyu's actions.
"Zone D."
Mu Xiyu walked out of the office without looking back.
Sister Zhang looked at Mu Xiyu's back and felt quite uneasy.
She has been in this circle for a long time and has become accustomed to some of the rules.
To say that we are used to it is actually to become numb to it, and then... to go along with the crowd.
But when she thought of something, she took a deep breath and her eyes became more determined.
Without Xiao Chen, how could Mu Xiyu fight against Chu Jingtian, Hong Liping, and the rules of the entire circle!
Impossible things.
"Xiyu."
Suddenly, Sister Zhang spoke.
"You don't have to bow your head, but why don't you try to find Mr. Xiao?"
"Haha, I won't look for anyone. I can handle my own affairs."
Mu Xiyu turned around and smiled, then walked forward.
"well."
Sister Zhang sighed lightly, shook her head, and said nothing more.
"Everyone come here."
Mu Xiyu came to the office area, clapped her hands and shouted.
After hearing her words, many people came over and looked a little surprised.
Although some individuals have their own ideas, most people... really like Mu Xiyu and are her fans.
They know more than the fans outside and know exactly what is going on with Mu Xiyu.
So... they are also supporting Mu Xiyu, even if they are idle and even if their salary is much less.
"Goddess, what's wrong?"
A girl looked at Mu Xiyu and asked.
She is one of Mu Xiyu's assistants and also a die-hard fan of Mu Xiyu.
She always calls Mu Xiyu "goddess" and does so on weekdays. She is also Mu Xiyu's most staunch supporter.
She felt that Mu Xiyu did the right thing, and that this was how the goddess in her mind should be.
Even after getting home from get off work, she was still using her second account to go online and constantly explain things for Mu Xiyu... There were many things she couldn't say, and didn't dare to say, but she was also doing what she could for Mu Xiyu.
"Haha, Xiaowen, go call the others and tell them that I have something to do."
Mu Xiyu smiled and said to the girl.
"Oh, okay."
The girl looked at Mu Xiyu and felt a little nervous. Goddess...could it be that she can't bear it anymore?
Soon, all the team members came over, including Sister Zhang.
"Sorry, let me say 'sorry' to everyone first."
Mu Xiyu looked at everyone and said while bending down.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Mu Xiyu's actions. Sorry?
What's going on?
"Recently, everyone has been following me and has nothing to do..."
Mu Xiyu stood up and looked around at everyone.
"I didn't think too much about it and ignored everyone's life pressure..."
"Goddess, don't let your imagination run wild. We're fine... Did you hear anything?"
Hearing Mu Xiyu's words, the girl became anxious.
"Although my salary has been reduced recently, our salary was very high before. Basically, it was the highest in the industry, twice or even three times theirs! Therefore, we are all making money, and the pressure is not that great. It's okay to take a few more months off."
Mu Xiyu looked at the girl and felt a little warm in her heart, but... the more this happened, the more she couldn't be selfish.
"Xiao Wen, you are alone, so of course you don't have that much pressure. We all have families to support, so we can't afford to be idle for a few months."
Before Mu Xiyu could speak, someone spoke up.
"you……"
Xiao Wen looked at this man and felt a little angry. This guy was one of the people who complained privately!
