Chapter 192 His Strategy
Han Xi knew exactly how much damage a disgraced artist could cause to the company, and if not handled properly, the entire group could be implicated.
Now, of course, we can't let this kind of person endorse our products anymore. The problem is that the official announcement is imminent, and we've invested the entire month into the new product. It would be too troublesome to recoup all of that investment in one go.
Seeing her anxious expression, Shen Jiheng reassured her, "You don't need to worry so much, I can step in and help you solve this."
Han Xi shook her head. When it came to business warfare, she was no match for Shen Jiheng's skills. However, she wanted to solve problems on her own rather than relying on others.
“I appreciate your kindness. I am very grateful that you discovered this at this critical moment. I will find a way to deal with it myself.”
Shen Jiheng didn't press the issue, but offered her suggestions.
"The best way to resolve this is to get the other party to take the initiative to terminate the contract. Also, entertainment companies have very strong public relations teams behind them. If you can't resolve this, come to me."
Han Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression. Their relationship seemed to have changed a little, but it also seemed like nothing had changed at all.
Was Shen Jiheng only here to say these things? He didn't mention the child at all.
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Shen Jiheng stared blankly at her. He knew that Han Xi didn't like to rely on others and didn't want to be a burden to anyone, which was why he communicated with her as a business partner.
"In addition, among the documents you have, there is a list of several spokespeople that I selected for you. They have all been rigorously checked and verified, so there won't be any problems."
Why are you helping me like this?
The argument that Han Xi expected didn't happen; instead, it made her feel more at ease.
Shen Jiheng smiled and replied cheerfully, "Of course we want a win-win situation. Don't forget that Ximei also deserves half the credit for this new product. When the product sells well, you should give us more dividends."
Hearing this, Han Xi's tense heart completely relaxed, and she saved her words of thanks for later.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
"That's good, I'll be going now."
Shen Jiheng's performance today did not make Han Xi feel embarrassed at all. After explaining these things, he really left.
Han Xi stared at the documents in her hand as if in a dream. What exactly was this person trying to do?
Shen Jiheng didn't mention Shen Qingzhou's disturbance that morning. That's right, he knew he wouldn't believe it; there was still that much tacit understanding between them.
Han Xi immediately contacted Ai Bao'er's agency, requesting to communicate with the artist in person.
Ai Bao'er, an artist under Starcom Entertainment, is thriving in both singing and acting within the entertainment industry.
In just three years, she went from an unknown supporting actress to a top star with access to various resources. She is sought after by high-end brands for endorsements, and the results are excellent.
The company portrays her as a sweet and charming grassroots beauty who has climbed to her current status through hard work and perseverance, and whose various hardships and acts of kindness have garnered her countless supporters.
Han Xi chose her as the spokesperson precisely because of this, but he never expected that she would do such inhumane things behind the scenes.
Once these things are exposed, all the products she endorses will suffer. There hasn't been an official announcement yet, so she needs to withdraw in time to minimize the damage.
After agreeing on a meeting time, Han Xi personally delivered the contract to the door, intending to terminate it as soon as possible.
She waited in the reception room for almost an hour but didn't see Ai Bao'er. Only when a staff member came to pour her water did she ask what was going on.
"May I ask when Miss Ai Bao'er will be arriving?"
"Mr. Han, you may have to wait a little longer."
Han Xi asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"
The staff member looked at the door with a troubled expression and said, "It's like this, Miss Ai had her portrait taken in the studio outside, but she's not satisfied and wants the photographer to reshoot."
Han Xi frowned. The agreed time was after her filming ended, but it turned out that she had to wait an extra hour and it was still not over.
"It seems your big star is not easy to get along with."
The staff member smiled awkwardly, unable to respond to the topic, and could only apologize: "I'm really sorry, then I'll trouble you to wait a little longer."
Han Xi stood up and shrugged. "Anyway, I'm bored waiting. So take me to the studio and see how long it will take our big star to finish."
The staff couldn't afford to offend these big spenders, so they had no choice but to take her to the photography studio.
As soon as the two entered, a water glass flew past them and hit the photographer on the head.
"Which company would dare to send a novice to take my photos? They wasted half a day of my time and didn't take a single one that I'm satisfied with."
Looking towards the huffing voice, Han Xi saw a stunningly beautiful woman with a sinister expression. She seemed still not satisfied and picked up a prop next to her and threw it at him.
The agent hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "My dear, don't lose your temper. Calm down. You have to meet your sugar daddy later."
"Sister Jiao, what are you afraid of? It's just Han Shu Group. Even if I don't take her endorsement, many well-known brands will come to me in the future. I don't even care about her."
Ai Bao'er is now famous and doesn't care about these companies at all.
The agent couldn't help but laugh at her naive words.
"You don't understand. Han Shu Group has two major backers. As long as the cooperation is established, there will be no shortage of better development in the future. Moreover, the next drama needs sponsors. As long as we can win over Han Xi, everything will be easy to discuss."
"Don't worry, I have plenty of experience dealing with these people. Today's filming is over. Oh, and make them fire this useless piece of trash. I don't want to see her working in this industry again."
"Alright, alright, anything that makes our darling unhappy will be wiped out."
Han Xi watched the whole show from the corner and couldn't help but sigh that the information Shen Jiheng had given him was already quite conservative.
The text states that she frequently bullies her staff and withholds her assistants' wages. Whenever someone resists, she uses the power of her fans and online trolls to push the opposing party into the limelight.
However, the violence aspect seems to have been overlooked. Judging from the current scene, she is using her fame to suppress others and prevent those who dislike her from rising up.
Han Xi saw the female photographer squatting on the ground wiping away tears, with a big bump on her forehead but not daring to utter a sound, while Ai Bao'er didn't even glance at her before preparing to leave.
Just as Ai Bao'er reached the door, she was suddenly stopped by a hand.
"Stop right there! You haven't apologized yet!"
Ai Bao'er gave a disdainful smile. She turned her head unhappily and said coldly, "Who's the daredevil who dares to meddle in other people's business?"
But her smile froze after she finished speaking.
Hearing the voice, the agent turned around curiously. When he saw that the person blocking the way was Han Xi, his expression changed and instantly turned into a smile.
"Oh, it's President Han. What are you doing at the photo studio? My men must be incompetent and haven't taken good care of you. It's almost lunchtime. Let me treat you to some fine dining."
This is terrible! How did the big spender that Xingtong Entertainment wanted to keep end up here? The agent can't let this cooperation fall apart; they have to keep him here.
