Huaisheng Entertainment was taken away, and Luo Zhi had actually prepared herself mentally.
In the eyes of Luo Chengxiu, the head of the family, an entertainment company that was once on the verge of delisting and bankruptcy and is now barely a medium-sized company may have some value, but it is far from worth the bother.
For Luo Chengxiu, this was just a decision he made casually.
The purpose of giving the company to Jian Huaiyi was just to give Luo Cheng the support of his family so that he wouldn't be bullied.
Compared to Luo Zhi, letting Jian Huaiyi be in charge of Huaisheng Entertainment and letting Jian Huaiyi be responsible for taking care of Luo Cheng will certainly make everyone in the family feel more at ease.
Luo Zhi opened the unread email in her mailbox.
Luo Chengxiu went to the company in person and sent someone to take over, which meant that Huaisheng Entertainment had truly established a relationship with the Luo family.
The board members who were usually reluctant to provide or share any resources and were only active when it came to profit sharing were now more efficient than ever before.
In just the time it took to make a phone call, these people had already worked together to find the reason why Luo Zhi "could not continue to be in charge of the company."
I don’t know if it was because they saw Jian Huaiyi’s bruised face, but the wording of the email was quite polite, cautiously stating that his personal image had caused a certain degree of negative impact on the company and that he was no longer suitable to serve as general manager.
Luo Zhi closed the car window.
He casually lowered the air conditioner by two degrees and clicked on the link attached to the email to take a look.
This was a trending search that just topped the list a few minutes ago.
The timing was just right. Just two hours ago, Li Weiming, who is currently one of the most popular celebrities, suddenly posted a Weibo, talking about a past that was too painful to recall.
In this Weibo post, Li Weiming recalled an incident two years ago when he was not yet famous and was just an unknown 18th-tier artist. He was forced by a person in charge to get a hotel room late at night.
On Weibo, Li Weiming frankly admitted that this incident had a considerable impact on him.
Li Weiming said that ever since that incident, he has been suppressed and hidden away, and he also developed serious psychological problems. It was only recently that he finally mustered up the courage to step out of the shadows.
Although no one was named in the Weibo post and there was no clear indication, everyone knew that Li Weiming was an artist of Huaisheng Entertainment.
In recent months, Li Weiming has become well-known because of an adapted big IP. This Weibo post was quite consistent with his character in the drama. The pain, confusion, despair and helplessness performed in the drama were instantly transformed into the long Weibo post, which caused a huge uproar and swept up countless fans and passers-by with indignation and sympathy.
It didn't take long for the angry fans to dig up a bunch of information, and they unraveled the mystery like they were solving a case, and finally they targeted Luo Zhi, who had just taken over the company two years ago.
…
Up to this point, there is no suspense.
When Luo Zhi debuted as a singer, she was hounded and sent countless threatening letters because of scandals about her using her power to bully others.
People were chasing him everywhere, cursing and abusing him, wishing him a premature death, and tirelessly writing short essays everywhere to "popularize" his evil deeds.
Even the comment sections for the songs written by Luo Zhi were full of comments like "Good songs ruined by this kind of person", "Please give me a cover", and "The song is good, but the singer's name is like rat shit mixed in a pot of good soup."
Later, Luo Zhi retired from the entertainment industry, and there was almost no news about him on the Internet. All the malice that had nowhere to vent was forced to accumulate... This time, it finally found a way out, and it poured out almost like a dam breaking.
There are more and more related entries, and public opinion is snowballing. Every now and then, someone claiming to be a "hotel staff" would pop up and describe with solemn assurance how Luo Zhi had robbed and robbed, and how Li Weiming had been innocent and adamant about his refusal to comply. Their descriptions were so vivid as if they had been there at the time.
Luo Zhi even found some blurry old photos.
The head and face were completely invisible, and even the human figure was barely recognizable.
I don’t know what kind of sharp eyes one needs to recognize at a glance that this is Luo Zhi who is threatening Li Weiming.
After watching more than a dozen versions of Late Night Hotel Mystery, Luo Zhi put down his hot phone, rested his head on his arms and closed his eyes.
…
To be honest, Luo Zhi sometimes felt that Jian Huaiyi took himself too seriously.
It's like taking away from him a company that he has put all his hard work into.
Jian Huaiyi would lay out the plan first and place Li Weiming as the chess piece.
After that, Jian Huaiyi would arrange several "coincidences" to make Luo Cheng interested in acting, and try to guide Luo Cheng to develop the idea of entering the entertainment industry before graduation.
Next, Jian Huaiyi will make Luo Chengxiu realize that he needs a trustworthy person to be in charge of Huaisheng Entertainment.
Finally, everything had to explode within one day, so that the enraged Luo Chengxiu would make up his mind to kick Luo Zhi, the trouble-making bastard, out of the company forever.
...but it doesn't have to be that troublesome.
If Jian Huaiyi wanted to take Huaisheng Entertainment away from him, he only needed to tell Luo Jun, Mrs. Luo or the head of the Luo family.
Just like in the past decade or so, Jian Huaiyi took away his name, his birthday, his home, and "accidentally" testified to fabricated scandals on the night of the finals before his debut, taking away everything that Luo Zhi cared about or didn't care about.
There's really no need for Jian Huaiyi to be so wary of him.
The son of the head of the Luo family and Mrs. Luo, the eldest brother’s younger brother, and the youngest sister’s second brother are all Jian Huaiyi.
Luo Zhi was like a thorn in their eyes. Even her mere existence caused them irritation and disgust all the time.
…
Thinking of this, Luo Zhi felt that she should be more sensible and not go back to the Luo family and upset everyone.
But for a moment, he couldn't seem to think of where to go.
In the past, if I couldn’t go home, at least I could go to the company.
Luo Zhi put a single bed in the office. When she felt tired from work, she would lie down and take a nap. When she woke up, she would continue to work overtime with a cup of coffee. When she was too tired, she would play the guitar for a while.
It’s not that I’m really so busy, it’s just that my days are so packed that there’s no space in my mind.
Without gaps, you won’t be distracted by random things.
You won’t feel sad.
Luo Zhi is actually fine now. Rather than being sad, his more obvious feeling is "confusion".
Suddenly, there was nothing to do and nowhere to go, and the intense sense of emptiness almost overwhelmed me.
Before the confusion began to erode his ability to move, Luo Zhi fastened his seat belt, started the car, and drove out into the blindingly bright sunlight.
Luo Zhi drove around the city for a few laps, found a parking lot, and parked his car, preparing to buy two pieces of clothes to change into.
They say clothes make the man, and there seems to be some truth to that.
Luo Zhi's looks are actually very outstanding - it's easy to imagine that she was able to conceal her identity and family background, and to carve out a bloody path in the talent show with just her face and a guitar, so she should at least be able to withstand the level of high-definition close-ups.
As for how the wind direction changed suddenly later, the public's aesthetic taste seemed to follow the gossip trend. After the news that he used his family background to pressure others, threatened and forced the program team to give the green light, and suppressed other innocent amateur contestants spread all over the Internet, such obviously blind posts as "Am I the only one who thinks Luo Zhi is extremely ugly?" became popular and would be dug up and stepped on every once in a while... There is no need to think about these things anymore.
Luo Zhi herself doesn't care much about these things.
Black and red also mean traffic. He made people remember Huaisheng Entertainment with the popularity he created all the way. He pulled up a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy and brought up several leading artists. It can be said that he gained both from losses and gains.
…
But just talking about this moment, it is really hard to associate Luo Zhi with any better image.
The windbreaker was covered in blood and mud and could no longer be worn. He simply threw it in the car without taking it down, planning to send it to the dry cleaner later.
Luo Zhi didn't have tinnitus at the moment, and although she still felt a little dizzy, it was still within the range she was used to.
He entered the mall and turned on the air conditioner, but he still broke out in cold sweat.
The shirt had been soaked through several times, the collar was limp, the cuffs were stained with blood, and the trouser legs were covered in dust.
Luo Zhi herself felt a little embarrassed.
He looked at himself in the mirror and thought for a while as if it had nothing to do with him: If he took a few photos like this and posted them online, would there be anti-fans who hated him to the core and paid money to buy them?
Fortunately, no acquaintances saw it.
Luo Zhi closed her eyes, put her index and middle fingers together, and pressed hard on her eyebrows twice.
He was just trying to recall what he came here for when he vaguely heard someone calling him. The voice came from behind him on the left, but he couldn't make out the content clearly.
…
But Luo Zhi was very familiar with that voice.
Luo Zhi was about to turn around and leave, but the figure had already quickly caught up with him from behind and raised his hand to stop him.
Luo Zhi paused and raised his eyes: "Brother Chen Bai."
If he were given a question and asked to answer within five seconds which person he least wanted to see in such a place, it would probably be Ren Chenbai.
Ren Chenbai is one of Luo Zhi’s few childhood friends.
Because Mrs. Luo would become severely ill whenever she saw Luo Zhi, Luo Zhi had been fostered in the Ren family for quite a long time.
Ren Chenbai's mother is Mrs. Luo's best friend. The two were best friends when they were young. Because of her love for her, Ren's mother has always loved little Luo Zhi.
Later, Ren Chenbai's mother died of illness and there were too many things to do at home, so he sent Luo Zhi back.
The time she spent living at Ren's house was probably the most relaxed and happiest years for Luo Zhi.
Ren Chenbai is two years older than Luo Zhi and has taken over the family business. He has a gentle and calm personality, is kind to everyone, and has been helping to take care of Luo Zhi because of his mother's last wish.
Since childhood, Luo Zhi has trusted and been close to Ren Chenbai.
He regards the other person as his role model and the person he wants to be close to the most.
Little Luo Zhi quietly wrote in her diary that when she grew up, she wanted to live with Brother Chen Bai and become a family with Brother Chen Bai and Uncle Ren and Aunt Ren. I made three snacks today. I will eat the bad ones myself and give the best ones to Brother Chen Bai.
Luo Zhi really thought so.
...When he realized that he had forgotten a snack, he excitedly ran after Ren Chenbai with the box in his hand. However, when he ran to the door, he saw Ren Chenbai in the distance throwing away some particularly disgusting garbage, and he frowned and threw the box of snacks to the stray dog on the side of the road.
Before that, Luo Zhi always wanted to grow up to be a good person like Brother Chen Bai.
