Chapter 358: Chapter 351: Little Zheng: It’s All Thanks to the Competition!
[Dingxin Media male artist cheating?]
[Dingxin Media female artist was an escort before?]
[Ah? There’s also one who just signed in the morning and their career collapsed in the afternoon?]
[Is this company cursed or something, why are there so many artists inside collapsing all at once? Can we even scrape together a decent artist now?]
[Yes we can, as of now, Hu Yun and Zheng He seem to be the most normal. At first, I thought they would be the first to collapse, but who would have thought, they actually turned into the pillars of Dingxin Media!]
[If those two collapse too, Dingxin Media is pretty much doomed!]
[Since Zheng He joined this company, why does it feel like he’s actually not a bad person?]
[Little Zheng: It’s all thanks to my colleagues making me look good!]
[Are Dingxin Media’s cease and desist letters still enough?]
At this moment, Zheng He, who was hiding in a corner and checking out the hot search trends, revealed an evil smile on his face.
Finding company loopholes might be difficult for him as a newcomer, but stirring trouble, digging up dirt on artists, that’s his forte!
Just coax some chit-chat out of the artist with the least resources, then use that information as bait to fish for more dirt on other artists, and there you have it!
The ones with the least resources in the company definitely have the worst attitude, the most unstable mindset.
For example, Zheng He himself is like this right now, otherwise, he wouldn’t heed Chen Xixi’s inferior strategies so easily.
Zheng He just needs to find artists who share his dissatisfaction, exchange a few heartfelt words, find immediate rapport, and when they come to talk about artists who are exploding with resources, naturally, it’s nothing but envy and jealousy, and isn’t that when the dirt on other company artists comes easily into grasp?!
Zheng He thinks to himself that he truly is a qualified troublemaker!
In the troublemaking business, nobody can surpass him!
At this rate, Dingxin Media should be on the brink of collapse soon, and he can get a substantial settlement and gain his freedom!
Zheng He is already looking forward to that day’s arrival!
…
Dingxin Media is swamped with problems.
Xu Nianying is sitting in the office, fuming with rage!
The President of Dingxin Media, sitting on the sofa, frowned and asked, “President Xu, has our company offended someone? Why is it always our people getting exposed?”
Xu Nianying had investigated, and it wasn’t Zhou Jinyuan pulling the strings, obviously, that only leaves the Bai Family of North City.
Because to stage such large scale exposes, it’s definitely not something just anyone can do, this must be targeted, organized, and purposeful retaliation!
The only ones with such capability, who also bear hatred against him, currently could only be the Bai Family of North City.
The last incident where he had upended the Bai Family nest has not been resolved yet.
The Bai Family aren’t pushovers, they won’t be dismissed with just a few words, and are demanding ten percent of the Xu Family shares as compensation. Xu Nianying’s father is reluctant to give in, thinking to delay for a period and see if there’s a better solution.
So now, it’s very likely the Bai Family’s doing, putting deliberate pressure on them.
To make them come up with a resolution quickly.
Xu Nianying extinguished his cigarette butt and said anxiously, “First, suppress all the hot searches, then after some time, everyone will forget.”
“Okay.”
“Then also conduct an internal investigation in the company.”
“Do you suspect there’s a mole?”
Xu Nianying said irritably, “Otherwise, how did those scandals get leaked out!”
The president of Dingxin Media received instructions from Xu Nianying and rushed back to the company to make arrangements, calling an emergency meeting.
Just as Xu Nianying caught her breath, a man wearing an old, deep blue shirt walked in.
Xu Nianying, upon recognizing the person, immediately became vigilant and panicked, “How, how did you get in here?”
Hu Qifeng sat down on the sofa without any politeness, crossed his leg in an arrogant manner, and smiled, “Where’s your dad? Have they handed over the company to you to manage now?”
Xu Nianying swallowed nervously, stealthily unlocking her phone screen, and asked with feigned composure, “What brings you here today?”
Hu Qifeng looked at Xu Nianying and spoke unhurriedly, “Of course, I’m here to settle the score from seventeen years ago.”
Xu Nianying clenched her fists and said angrily, “Settle the score? You kidnapped me back then, got thrown into prison, and now you still want to settle the score? See if you can get out safely first!”
Hu Qifeng hastily said, “I kidnapped you because I had no choice! Back then, it was your dad who asked me to act as the middleman, to connect with Chen Youqing and persuade him to sign the contract. Afterwards, your dad reneged on his word! He promised to make me the deputy factory manager, but after it was done, he shoved all the blame onto me and made me take the fall! I had no choice but to kidnap you, to coerce your dad into keeping his promise!”
Then, he was sentenced to ten years for kidnapping.
During those ten years in prison, he did have regrets. He couldn’t resist the temptation of the Xu Family, which is what led to his downfall.
Money, job, family, all gone.
He even thought about confessing everything in prison, bringing the Xu Family down with him—after all, these were unjust competition tactics. If exposed, the Xu Family would receive their due punishment, and Chen Youqing would also have a chance to turn things around.
But the damn Xu Family actually threatened him with his daughter! They said if he dared to utter one more word, they would kill his daughter!
Hu Qifeng could only hold back his anger, spending each day in regret and worry.
Now released, he had come to terms with a lot in prison. The Xu Family was not a force to be trifled with. He didn’t seek mutual destruction, he just wanted what he deserved and to live a good life from now on.
But if the Xu Family still didn’t satisfy his demands, this time he was determined to bring about mutual destruction!
After listening, Xu Nianying laughed scornfully, “Now you tell me all this, you think I would sympathize with you?”
No matter what his dad did, that was his dad. He was part of the Xu Family, and he could never side with outsiders!
Moreover, to expect him to sympathize with someone who had once kidnapped him was ludicrous. His head wasn’t filled with water!
Just as Xu Nianying finished speaking, the office door was opened, and over a dozen burly bodyguards walked in, surrounding Hu Qifeng.
Hu Qifeng looked at the surrounding bodyguards unperturbed, and with a hooked lip, said, “Since I dared to come here alone today, I must have come prepared. If anything happens to me, your family won’t get off easy either!”
Hu Qifeng had long seen through the nature of the Xu Family—cunning, deceitful, and vicious. Without a strong backer arranged beforehand, he would not dare take such a risk to suddenly appear here and demand benefits from the Xu Family.
Xu Nianying stood up and looked at Hu Qifeng, sneering, “Your daughter is in my hands now.”
Hu Qifeng’s calm demeanor flickered with a hint of panic, but then he remembered the promise from the Bai Family, collected himself, and stared at Xu Nianying with a chilling gaze, “If you dare to touch her, I’ll make your whole family join her in burial!”
He dared to kidnap, what else wouldn’t he dare?
Xu Nianying wasn’t sure what other leverage Hu Qifeng had over her family and ultimately didn’t dare act rashly against Hu Qifeng.
Xu Nianying said, “I don’t know what my dad promised you. Go back first, I’ll ask my dad about it, and then I’ll return whatever my family owes you.”
Seeing Xu Nianying’s changed attitude, Hu Qifeng decided to give her a chance.
As Xu Nianying watched Hu Qifeng’s departing back, she coldly instructed the bodyguards, “Follow him.”
…
Dingxin Media.
While Zheng He was digging up dirt, he suddenly stumbled upon Hu Yun.
