To everyone's shock, Yan Dongxu took a seat.
As soon as Zhou Uncle sat down, he took control of the whole situation.
"I heard that the incident with Xu Yiyi has caused quite an impact on the company?"
Manager Wang immediately responded: "Yes, the PR team has been working non-stop, but public opinion still hasn't improved."
"Xu Yiyi's work also had to be suspended, and some sponsors have decided to terminate contracts."
"This is a considerable loss for our company. That's why we had to disturb you."
Zhou Uncle nodded.
"The most direct cause of today's consequences is the arrogance in your hearts."
"Don't you understand the principle that harmony brings prosperity? You think that with capital backing you, you can look down on everyone?"
"Both the team and the artist need to deeply reflect."
"Of course, I didn't come today just to criticize you."
"I brought the person, how to cooperate and change public opinion depends on your capabilities."
"Otherwise, Qingqiu Media has no reason to continue existing."
Zhou Uncle spoke with quite some prestige. For him, this little money was truly nothing.
But for the executives present, the company was indispensable.
Apart from some minority shareholders, some executives had families relying on them and were carrying huge housing and car loans.
If they really lost their jobs, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to them.
Even if they went to other companies in the industry, it would be very difficult for them to gain a foothold.
After all, who would dare employ them to manage their company after they had ruined a trump card like Xu Yiyi?
Manager Wang raised his glass, signaling for the others to stand up too.
"Mr. Yan, let me toast you a drink, representing Qingqiu Media's apology to you."
"The way we handled things before was inadequate, and it also negatively impacted you."
Yan Dongxu had no idea what Qingqiu Media was before he came.
The only person he knew was Xu Yiyi.
So facing Manager Wang and the executives' toast, he felt baffled.
"I won't drink, if you really want to apologize, make Xu Yiyi come over and toast to admit her mistake."
Yan Dongxu deliberately made things difficult.
He realized everyone from the company was all smiles and humble apologies.
But the person involved, Xu Yiyi, did not pick up her glass. She just sat there sullenly, not even glancing at him.
Manager Wang also noticed this scene and hurriedly shouted, "Yiyi, what are you doing?"
Obviously Manager Wang was already angry.
What was the point of everyone being so servile and obedient?
Wasn't it so Xu Yiyi could regain her past popularity and be liked by everyone again?
But at such a critical moment, this girl had no eye for the situation.
"I'll toast you to apologize. I'm sorry, I don't feel well, you guys drink slowly."
"Thank you all for caring about me, I'll toast you all another drink."
After drinking two glasses, Xu Yiyi left the banquet.
This scene made the atmosphere in the private room extremely tense.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I've spoiled her too much usually, she has a bit of a spoiled temper. I'll call her back right away to apologize."
Mr. Zhou waved his hand to stop him. "No need, just terminate her contract directly."
"I'll give you half a year to select a new candidate, devote resources, and remake a first-tier star from scratch."
"If you don't complete it, Qingqiu Media can close down."
Zhou Uncle got up and left, and Yan Dongxu followed him out.
After they left, Manager Wang erupted in anger, bellowing at the agent team.
"How have you been managing her work? You still don't think the company has lost enough face?"
The agent apologized and pleaded guilty: "I'll go bring her back immediately and make her apologize."
Manager Wang scolded angrily: "Go get her ass, didn't you hear what Mr. Zhou said? Terminate the contract! Get someone to draft the termination agreement!"
"The little brat doesn't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth. I'll make her pay so badly she goes bankrupt!"
On the way, he saw Xu Yiyi sitting on the lobby sofa crying.
Yan Dongxu said to Zhou Uncle: "Uncle, you go back first, I'll go take a look. As for terminating her contract, let's slow it down. I'm quite interested in her."
Zhou Uncle revealed a meaningful smile: "Oh? You want to seduce her?"
Yan Dongxu shook his head. "Hehe, I do have this idea. Let's see if she's up to it. I'll give her a chance."
"Besides, didn't I come to help Uncle solve problems this time?"
"If the company gives up on her, Uncle will also lose a lot of money. Cultivating another to this level takes time, we don't even know if the new one will be as popular as her. So let's not make it so complicated."
Zhou Uncle laughed. "Hahaha, you little bastard, you're quite thoughtful about me. Go on then. I'll wait for you in the car."
"Mm."
Yan Dongxu walked over to Xu Yiyi.
"The big star is crying here without fear of being seen?"
He handed Xu Yiyi a pack of tissues.
"Have you come to mock me?"
Xu Yiyi looked up and glared at him fiercely.
"Yeah, isn't this to see how miserable you are?"
Yan Dongxu sat down and handed her some tissues. "Wipe up, crying won't solve any problems."
Xu Yiyi took the tissues and dried her tears.
"It's all your fault, you've ruined my performing career."
Xu Yiyi complained.
She couldn't understand why Yan Dongxu had such a background yet chose to be an insignificant livestreamer instead of becoming a celebrity directly.
"I can explain it to you. But you have to promise me one condition."
"How do you plan to explain it?" Xu Yiyi asked.
"Just say we have no relationship and did nothing. You were just a girl who happened to be influenced by my special abilities."
"Is that it?" Xu Yiyi suddenly grabbed Yan Dongxu's collar.
"What are you doing? Broad daylight with so many people peeking at us. If you want to get physical, we really won't be able to explain things clearly!" Yan Dongxu reminded her.
"Hit you? I'm not stupid. You tricked me, I won't let you off easy either! You want me to agree to your terms right? Fine, I'll play along!"
After saying that, Xu Yiyi kissed him directly.
Yan Dongxu's brain went blank.
What was going on?
He couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it either.
But it was still his first time being forcefully kissed by a girl. It felt strange.
He pushed Xu Yiyi away, then kissed her back.
"You......"
Xu Yiyi wanted to say something but held back, both shy and indignant.
Having just cried earlier, she now emanated a pitiful vibe.
"What you! You kissed me first!"
Yan Dongxu pretended to be the victim, not the slightest bit conscious.
"As you wished, you've succeeded! Soon enough the two of us will top the hot search!"
"Silly girl, stop sitting here waiting to become a spectacle!"
Yan Dongxu knew Xu Yiyi was using this to get back at him, but he didn't care at all.
He pulled Xu Yiyi out of the hotel by the hand. Under the watching eyes of everyone, they got into Zhou Uncle's car.
"You brat, stronger than me in my youth!"
From inside the car, Zhou Uncle witnessed everything through the hotel's glass windows. He was very impressed with the boldness of today's young people.
