Yingyou acted quickly. As soon as Wen Ran wanted to terminate the contract with the company and was suspected of being suppressed, it immediately issued a statement to show that Yingyou did not suppress or exploit artists.
However, the statement was generally ineffective. Some netizens, especially Wen Ran’s fans, did not buy it.
“It’s all a public relations trick,” “It’s just a few lines, who wouldn’t post it? Yingyou can only deceive passers-by who don’t know the truth.” Such comments continued. Later, after the marketing account broke the news that Yingyou was not clean and the top management was a nest of snakes and rats, the comments became even more sharp and unbearable.
They looked like they had grasped the truth and they made a big fuss on various online platforms to denounce Yingyou and speak up for Wen Ran. They also attacked netizens who advised people to remain rational and did not comment without knowing the full picture, criticizing them for pretending to be reasonable, speculating that they were paid to do things and were water troops hired by Yingyou.
Even after Bai Chen posted a Weibo post in support of Yingyou, they all rushed to abuse him for collusion, cursed his family, and fought with his fans…
All kinds of chaos, at first glance, it was like a swarm of locusts. Then, in this situation, Yingyou’s lawyer’s letter came.
After this news came out, some people returned to rationality and chose to eat melons and watch the show, and Wen Ran’s fans became even more angry.
“Yingyou is going to sue Ranran?”
“Look at what it says! It actually says that my brother hired marketing accounts and bought water troops to slander Yingyou and infringe on Yingyou’s reputation? Does Yingyou have paranoia?” “I don’t know whether he has it or not, but the one who framed and called a horse a zebra is Yingyou!” They didn’t believe it at all, and still supported Wen Ran, saying that they would make Yingyou regret it!
Qin Yu scanned some messages and couldn’t help shaking his head, “He will definitely regret it, but it’s definitely not Yingyou who will regret it.”
After a while, someone really regretted it. At that time, the court’s verdict had come down and Yingyou won the case.
Not only were all Wen Ran’s fans dumbfounded, but netizens who had spoken for Wen Ran were also stunned. Yingyou’s victory means that Wen Ran was indeed slandering Yingyou and defaming his boss. Wen Ran’s image was so good before that the public didn’t react for a while and really didn’t understand why he did this.
Then someone guessed the answer through clues. Wen Ran wanted to terminate the contract, but his liquidated damages were too high, so he played smart and tried a trick. He wanted to use the momentum of public opinion to oppress Yingyou and leave easily. Unexpectedly, his means were not smart and he finished himself.
After watching it, everyone sighed. They didn’t expect Wen Ran to be such a person, greedy, stupid and vicious.
In this way, public opinion completely reversed, Wen Ran and Yingyou swapped positions. Yingyou became the victim and the attention was greatly increased. By the way, it also pushed the already hot “Draft 202×” to an even hotter level.
As for Wen Ran, even if his fans were unwilling to admit it, no one could argue with the facts. Wen Ran’s true face chilled them. For him, they all became notorious on the Internet, with a very bad reputation, like rats crossing the street. In the end, Wen Ran dealt them a heavy blow.
He said that Yingyou would regret it, but in the end, they were the ones who regretted it. Then, except for a very small number of die-hard fans, most fans deleted their ridiculous remarks and stopped being his fans. Some extreme ones even became anti-fans.
“Ran Ran, you haven’t eaten for a day. It’s not good for your health. I’ve cooked. Come out and eat.”
Wen Ran was lying on the bed, listening to the noise outside the bedroom. He was so annoyed that he buried his head in the quilt. As a result, he found that it didn’t work at all. Then he gritted his teeth and sat up from the bed, shouting angrily at the door, “How many times have I told you? Leave me alone! Don’t you understand me?”
After a moment, Wen Ran heard the other party’s footsteps going away, “He knows what’s good for him.”
He didn’t know that You Yi, who had returned to the kitchen, curled his lips mockingly, “If it weren’t for your face, I wouldn’t bother to care about you. You still think you are a star.”
In the bedroom, Wen Ran was about to lie down again, but his sight suddenly touched the poster on the opposite wall, and his heart, which had just calmed down, was in chaos again.
He angrily threw the quilt on the floor, walked barefoot to the opposite wall and with a bang, the poster was torn.
He looked at the shredded paper piled at his feet with bloodshot eyes and smiled sinisterly.
This is a poster he took for a luxury brand when he was very popular. He looked radiant and bright on the poster. Now, he is gone, from popularity to endorsements, everything is gone, just like this destroyed poster.
What’s more terrifying is that he is not only jobless now, but also bankrupt. After losing the lawsuit with Yingyou, all kinds of troubles have come to him. The brands he endorsed have terminated their contracts with him and he has to pay them liquidated damages because his bad behavior has also affected the brand’s image.
In addition, the most important thing is that he has to pay a large amount of compensation to Yingyou, which is several times the original amount of his breach of contract.
All kinds of compensation added up to a very large number, forcing Wen Ran to take out all his savings, but it was still not enough. He had no choice but to resell his luxury goods to make money. In other words, he has worked for nothing all these years.
What’s worse is that Minghe rejected him. Wen Ran clenched his fists. After all the trouble, he seemed to have gained nothing.
********
“No, he’s free.” Qin Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at He Nan who was telling him about Wen Ran’s recent situation. “He got what he wanted and terminated his contract with Yingyou. As his former boss, I’m very happy for him.”
Seeing this, He Nan glanced at Qin Yu’s raised mouth and thought, “As expected of Mr. He, he really cares about his employees…”
“Stop!” Qin Yu made a gesture, “This month’s salary was paid yesterday.” The subtext was that there was no need to flatter and it was impossible to increase the salary.
“Then can you consider a bonus?” He Nan asked boldly. Qin Yu looked at him as if he had just met him today and asked, “Secretary He, do you know Bai Chen’s agent?”
“I know him, but I’m not familiar with him.” He Nan answered honestly.
“So you’re not familiar with each other.” Qin Yu said in a teasing tone, “I thought you were brothers. Your attitude towards salary is exactly the same. You love money like your life.”
He Nan didn’t feel offended by Qin Yu’s words. After all, who doesn’t love money? However, he discovered another thing. “How did Mr. He know that Mr. Bai’s agent likes money so much?” He didn’t know.
He Nan usually faces more executives and secretaries in the company. He rarely interacts with the artists in the company, and even more so with their agents. As the president of the company, Qin Yu’s situation will be even worse than his.
So, the question is, in this case, how did Qin Yu know about this?
“Of course, Bai Chen said it.”
Oh, that’s it. He Nan knew that Bai Chen had Qin Yu’s WeChat, so it wasn’t surprising. However, “It turns out that Mr. Bai would tell Mr. He about interesting things in life?”
Even though a group of people said that Bai Chen had a good personality, based on He Nan’s years of observation of people, he felt that Bai Chen should be essentially an indifferent person, and this kind of person is said to be hot on the outside and cold on the inside.
“I thought he only talked about work.” He Nan added.
Qin Yu didn’t think deeply about it, but refuted He Nan in a good mood, “So what you think is what you think after all.”
After the storm of Wen Ran and Yingyou’s contract termination came to an end, Qin Yu’s life entered a calm period again, going to work, resting after work and occasionally working overtime.
That day, he was handling official business as usual, when he suddenly received a call from his mother, who asked him if he needed to work overtime tonight.
“No, my workload today is not heavy, so I don’t need to work overtime.”
“In that case, you should go home early today, Yu’er.”
When asked the reason, she hung up immediately, leaving only a sentence with an upturned tone, “You will know when you come back.”
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, then smiled again, secretly wondering if she had come up with another dark dish and couldn’t wait to let him be a guinea pig?
Remembering the request to go home early, Qin Yu left the office half an hour earlier than usual. On the way, he saw a familiar figure.
Still wearing black clothes, a baseball cap and sunglasses, in an instant, Qin Yu seemed to have returned to the night he entered this small world, but now, he already knew the other person’s name, “Wei Zhe.”
“He, Mr. He, good afternoon!” Wei Zhe saw Qin Yu, took off his sunglasses and greeted him.
Qin Yu laughed dumbly, “Why are you stuttering suddenly? I remember that the first two times I saw you, you spoke quite fluently.”
As a result, after Qin Yu finished speaking, Wei Zhe blushed immediately, looking like a cooked prawn. He looked at Qin Yu, tears streaming down his face in his heart, I don’t want to be like this, but my mouth is not obedient!
The first time they met, Wei Zhe didn’t know Qin Yu at all. The second time, Wei Zhe only knew that Qin Yu was the president of Yingyou. He didn’t know anything about his wealth and status or the power of the family behind him. Later, when Wei Zhe signed Yingyou by chance, his sister Wei Yuan gave him some information and he knew about it. After knowing all these, Wei Zhe regretted it. He regretted the self who said that the other party was a narcissist.
Will he retaliate against me and sink me into the river like in the novel? That night, Wei Zhe didn’t sleep all night, just thinking about this question.
Although he realized the next day that he was just full of food, not to mention whether the plan of sinking into the river was feasible, first of all, Qin Yu had no idea of retaliating, otherwise he would have been admitted to the hospital that day. In short, he judged others by his own standards.
However, he also had the idea of performing well the next time they met and leaving a good impression on Qin Yu.
The result was not what he wanted. Wei Zhe thought about the stuttering self just now and wanted to find a noodle to hang himself. Facing Qin Yu’s question, he tried to calm down and answered calmly, “Maybe it’s salt, too much salt.”
Qin Yu showed a sympathetic look, “Then remember to eat less next time.” Wei Zhe nodded frantically.
“By the way, how was your audition result?” Qin Yu remembered that he finally participated in the audition.
Wei Zhe did not stutter this time, because he only said three words, “One round.”
“…”
How to say it, it can only be said that it was expected.
Then Wei Zhe stuttered again and said that he no longer planned to sing.
Poor kid, from being full of confidence to giving up, he must have been hit hard in the middle. Qin Yu comforted him, “It’s okay, you are still young, there will be many opportunities in the future.” At the end, Qin Yu asked him what he was doing now?
“Acting.”
“What play?”
“‘Jinghong’.”
Qin Yu was slightly surprised. “If I remember correctly, this is Director Xu’s play.” Director Xu is a great director. “Wei Zhe, it seems that you have a talent for acting. You can consider developing in this direction. What role will you play in it?”
********
Qin Yu was still a little dazed on the way home. Wei Zhe played an opera actor in the opera garden and according to him, this role was given to him by Director Xu himself, who said that he was shocked by his singing and wanted him. Good guy, I didn’t expect Director Xu’s taste to be different from ordinary people.
After returning home, Qin Yu finally understood why his mother wanted him to come back early.
