Chapter 206 The Traitors Regretted It: Please Let Us Go
The long Spring Festival holiday has just ended, and the snow in Beijing has not yet completely melted.
The headquarters building of Starry Sky Media was already as hot as a furnace.
The lingering effects of the Spring Festival Gala have not dissipated; instead, they have spread explosively online.
Wang Guihua's song "Come Home Often" brought tears to the eyes of over a billion viewers across the country.
It also firmly imprinted the Starry Sky Media brand into the hearts of the people.
In the business hall on the second floor, the telephone rang incessantly.
Sister Hong sat in her large leather office chair, looking at the thick stack of letters of intent in her hands, her mouth agape in a wide smile.
"A national-level milk brand endorsement, worth 12 million a year?"
"A time-honored home furnishing brand, 20 million in three years?"
"And this too? Even large supermarket chains are vying for the exclusive rights to their New Year's songs?"
As Sister Hong flipped through the pages, she kept marveling at the sight.
These brands, who are usually so arrogant, are now like sharks that have smelled blood, frantically waving their checkbooks.
Moreover, they all came because of the newly crowned "national mother" Wang Guihua.
Who would have thought?
A month ago, Aunt Wang was a cleaner in this building, holding a mop and washing toilets with her head down.
Now, she can easily earn more from a single gig than the three so-called "pillars" of the industry combined in a year.
Sister Hong picked up her coffee and took a sip, feeling incredibly happy.
This feeling of triumph is even more satisfying than having a full-service luxury spa treatment.
At this time.
Outside the impressive glass revolving door of the Starry Sky Media Building.
Three figures were huddled up, shivering in the cold wind of the late spring chill.
It's Li Tian, Zhao Xu, and Wang Mengmeng.
These three people have long lost the arrogance they had when they slammed the termination agreement on the table.
The million-dollar limited-edition watch on Li Tian's wrist was gone, and his high-end suit worth tens of thousands of dollars had been replaced with a pilling old coat.
Wang Mengmeng's face was no longer covered in delicate makeup.
Her hair was disheveled, and her dark circles were so heavy she looked like a female ghost. The Hermes bag she was holding had long since been pawned somewhere.
As for Zhao Xu...
He wore a mask and didn't dare to lift his head, afraid of being recognized by passing paparazzi or former fans.
They regretted it!
I regret it so much!
When they arrived at Dynasty Entertainment, they realized that Zhou Lixing, that kind of ruthless capitalist, didn't treat them like human beings at all.
The so-called S-level big-budget production with male and female leads?
It's all empty promises! It's all just empty talk!
What are these so-called top-tier marketing channels?
There wasn't even a splash.
Zhou Lixing paid double the breach of contract fee to poach them, not to promote them at all.
It's purely to disgust Starry Sky Media, to expose Su Qingge's trump card, and to prevent them from holding a national tour!
Now look what's happened.
Starry Sky Media not only survived, but also relied on a cleaning lady to dominate the scene and reach the pinnacle of the Spring Festival Gala.
As for Zhou Lixing himself, he was overwhelmed by the series of counterattacks from Su Zhentian and Lin Zhou, so he had no time to care about the fate of these few abandoned pawns.
Just the day before yesterday.
The Imperial Court's Ministry of Justice simply threw a notice in their faces.
Because they had no commercial value and failed to bring the expected revenue to the company.
They should not only be completely sidelined.
We will also sue them and demand an exorbitant amount of compensation for breach of contract related to resource breach of contract!
This is practically driving them to their doom!
"Brother Tian, are we really going to see President Su today?"
Wang Mengmeng was shivering from the cold, her voice filled with a desperate sob.
"We have to see him, even if we can't!"
Li Tian gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with frantic bloodshot veins.
"We're now burdened with the debts of the entire dynasty. Besides President Su, who can save us? Who dares to save us?"
"But...we left so abruptly back then, and Director Lin even made some harsh remarks..."
Zhao Xu muttered to himself guiltily, his calves twitching.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Li Tian stomped his foot suddenly, as if to bolster his courage.
"Su Qingge is a soft-hearted woman. After all, we were raised by her, so even if we didn't do anything special, we still deserve credit for our hard work."
"If we just play the victim and beg her on our knees, she'll definitely remember our past kindness!"
The three of them were whispering amongst themselves as they tried to squeeze through the gate.
The security guards in the lobby immediately noticed the three suspicious figures.
"What are you doing here? This is an internal office of Starry Sky Media. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in!"
The security captain strode over, holding a rubber baton, and ruthlessly drove them away.
"Old Li! It's me! Li Tian!"
Li Tian quickly pulled down his mask, leaned closer, and forced out a fawning smile that looked worse than crying.
"I used to throw cigarettes at you every time I came back from filming night scenes, don't you remember?"
The security captain sneered and looked him up and down.
His eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.
"Hey, isn't this the superstar Li from Dynasty Entertainment?"
"I wouldn't dare to smoke your cigarette. Our Director Lin has said that Starry Sky Media doesn't accept trash."
"You guys better get out of here, don't get in my way, it won't look good if you force me to take action."
"Old Li, please, please make an exception! We really have an emergency and need Mr. Su's help!"
Wang Mengmeng was so anxious that she tugged at the security captain's sleeve.
Just as they were pushing and shoving, in complete chaos...
"What's all the noise about? It's causing such a ruckus at the main gate, what kind of behavior is this?"
A crisp, yet intensely impactful sound of high heels echoed from the depths of the hall.
Sister Hong was wearing 10-centimeter high heels.
She walked in from the elevator, dressed in a smart, powerful businesswoman outfit and beaming with confidence.
She spotted the three "familiar faces" who were being held back by security guards at a glance.
Hongjie stopped in her tracks.
immediately.
The corners of her mouth gradually turned upwards, forming an extremely exaggerated and extremely satisfying smile.
"Who do we have here, begging for food in front of our company gate so early in the morning?"
Sister Hong walked to the access control and looked down at them through the glass.
His eyes looked like he was looking at three rats in a stinking ditch.
"Isn't this our Dynasty Entertainment's 'Number One Male and Female Stars'?"
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't get enough at the imperial dynasty's victory banquet, so they've come to our starry sky begging for leftovers?"
These words were barbed.
It was like an invisible slap that landed hard on the faces of the three of them.
Burning pain.
But now, they don't even have the right to get angry.
"Sister Hong! Sister Hong, please help me!"
Li Tian seemed to have grasped at the last straw, clinging desperately to the glass door until his face was distorted from the effort.
"We were blind before, our hearts were clouded by greed!"
"We know we were wrong! We really know we were wrong! Please, please help us inform General Manager Su!"
Zhao Xu also burst into tears.
"Sister Hong, you've been with us for three years! You can't just stand by and watch us die!"
Wang Mengmeng burst into tears.
Tears mixed with cheap makeup, leaving two dark lines on her face, making her look extremely disheveled.
"Sister Hong, the Dynasty is driving us to our deaths; we're going bankrupt. Please let us go back! We'll agree to any condition! Even zero base salary!"
Sister Hong looked at the three faces, which were crying bitterly.
I felt so incredibly happy!
She felt that all the pent-up anger she had been holding in for the past two weeks had finally been released at this moment.
Weren't you guys very arrogant when you slammed the termination agreement on the table?
When you were mocking Starry Sky Media for being a small company and mocking Aunt Wang for being a cleaner, weren't you all very arrogant?
Now you know how to cry?
late!
"No, I can't accept being called 'Sister Hong'."
Sister Hong took a step back with a cold smile, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Our Starry Sky Media is too small to accommodate such big shots as you."
"Besides, Aunt Wang is sitting in a pretty good spot right now. One of her songs is worth more than you could sing for a lifetime."
"If you're really short on money, you could apply for a job in the cleaning department. I see they need a few people to clean toilets."
"Pfft—"
Several young female receptionists nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Tian's face turned pale and then red.
The immense humiliation made him almost grind his teeth to pieces, his fingernails digging into the glass door.
But he dared not retaliate.
Even if he dies today, he will stay here and see Su Qingge!
"Sister Hong, no matter how you scold us, we'll take it."
Li Tian shamelessly blocked the entrance to the access control channel, completely resorting to shamelessness.
"We won't leave until we see President Su today!"
Just then.
"bite--"
The president's private elevator, located deep in the lobby, emitted a crisp notification sound.
The elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.
Lin Zhou was wearing a casual gray sweatshirt, with one hand in his pocket.
Holding a freshly bought iced Americano, I slowly walked out of the elevator.
He originally planned to go downstairs to the opposite street corner to buy Su Qingge some of her favorite internet-famous desserts.
Just came out.
Then I witnessed this farcical scene at the main gate.
Lin Zhou stopped in his tracks.
His deep, almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze as calm as a stagnant pool.
The moment I saw Lin Zhou.
A buzzing sound went through Li Tian's mind.
He seemed to see the last god or Buddha who could save his life.
He shoved the security guard in front of him aside with a burst of strength that seemed to come from nowhere, and rushed through the access control gate without a care in the world.
He scrambled and stumbled all the way to the elevator.
Amidst the shocked and disdainful gazes of everyone.
"Thump!"
Li Tian's knees buckled, and he knelt upright before Lin Zhou without any dignity.
"Director Lin!"
He burst into tears, grabbed Lin Zhou's leg, and wailed loudly.
"Director Lin, we really know we were wrong!"
"For the sake of our past relationship, please give us some food!"
