Chapter 638: The Dinner (Part One)

Those artists who didn’t respond didn’t know Ye Xiu at all; they wouldn’t have known about him with their social standings.

Lin Yan’s agent had recently received two advertising endorsements due to the hype. Although these endorsements weren’t big, being just for games, it was money nonetheless. She had agreed to go for a photo shoot, and on their way there, she received a call from the company’s CEO.

He cut straight to the point, “Did you authorize Lin Yan’s Weibo account or did she post that stuff herself? Isn’t it the company’s strict policy that no artist can publish what they want without permission?”

Lin Yan’s agent was dumbfounded and she immediately said, “It was Lin Yan’s own idea. I didn’t allow her at first, but now it seems that the effect is very good. She has completely earned enough attention, and I have received two million-dollar ad endorsements and three variety show invitations. As long as we keep the exposure going, other scripts will come accordingly. I must say that this wave of hype is very good. “

The other end shouted through the phone, “Not bad my a*s! Does she not see what kind of person she is, is she going to bite anyone who’s against her? Did she think she could jump into this hype with Lin Chuxue’s level of popularity? Hurry up and clear all of the Weibo posts and apologize for this incident!”

“President Chen, you’re not kidding, are you?” The agent was shocked.

President Chen said, “If you don’t do it, I’ll cancel all of Lin Yan’s endorsements and other work on behalf of the company. You’re her agent, you decide how you will proceed.”

Meanwhile, the other company CEOs all received a letter from a lawyer from a Yanjing law firm.

The letter asked their company’s male artists to stop hiring people to spread rumors and send curses at Xu Cheng’s Weibo.

Several CEOs did not care at first because they would receive a few of these letters every year. Unless it was a court order, they would not suffer any legal penalties if they ignored them.

Moreover, these lawyers’ letters were criticizing their male artists, and who would be happy to listen to those?

More than six or seven male artists were hiring people to curse at Xu Cheng, and most of the time, they would have a management team. They were also celebrities who had some solid fanbase.

Since they were old artists, the company was turning a blind eye towards what they were doing.

However, the broadcast bureau side made a move.

They did nothing but invite the CEOs who managed the entertainment companies those seven male artists came from.

The CEOs were sure to be there, and all of them had arrived early.

At the dinner, the top manager of the Broadcasting Bureau excused himself for a little while and then opened a door and invited Ye Xiu to come in.

After Ye Xiu came in, the seven CEOs who were going to toast the top manager of the Broadcasting Bureau were all stunned and surprised to see him being so respectful to the young man.

The manager introduced Ye Xiu to them, “This is Young Master Ye.”

“It was me who invited the seven of you over for dinner today, sorry if I interrupted your schedules,” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh, no no no.” The seven CEOs were all flattered. Although they didn’t know what kind of background Ye Xiu had, if the manager of the Broadcasting Bureau respected this man, then he must be someone they couldn’t afford to mess around with.

“Young Master Ye, let’s toast to you. Make yourself at home, and we’ll drink up.” The seven CEOs came together and raised their cups with both hands.

Ye Xiu waved his hands. “Wait a minute, how can I let you guys toast me, it should be me toasting you guys. My brother has recently offended these people for some reason. He’s being bullied and personally attacked by them, but he’s very busy right now and doesn’t have the time to take care of these things. I’m his younger brother, so I can’t ignore what those people are saying to him. That’s why I’m here inviting you to apologize.”

“Oh no, that is not necessary.” The seven CEOs were taken aback as they laughed bitterly and said, “Young Master Ye, you’re slapping us in the face. How could we be in the place for you to apologize to us…”

Chapter 638: The Dinner (Part Two)

Ye Xiu suddenly read out the names of the seven male artists at this time, and every time a name came out, the faces of the seven CEOs changed slightly.

Finally, Ye Xiu raised his head to the seven CEOs and asked, “I don’t know which company these stup*d artists came from. If any of you knows, go back and tell them to stop barking like a dog, because my brother won’t throw them a bone. Instead, I have my own stick which I’ll throw at them. You must check who the dog’s owner’s is before trying to beat it up don’t you? So, that’s why I’m here inviting everyone over for a meal. How do you think we should deal with this?”

The faces of the seven CEOs changed dramatically in an instant.

One by one, they became frightened.

“Young Master Ye, this is definitely our company’s intention, really.”

Ye Xiu took out a document. “This is the evidence of those 50-cent armies they hired and their confessions, as well as the evidence of these seven artists’ direct pay transfer exchanges, and the IDs of these people who commented which I got from Weibo’s CEO. Take a look for yourselves. My brother is very generous; you can’t bite them back just because the dog bit you first, right? And I’ve had lawyers send letters to all seven of you before, or would you guys only take it seriously when you see a subpoena?”

The seven CEOs’ entire faces turned pale and cowardly when they went over and looked at the documents.

While several of them were cowering, some of them became furious and cursed on the spot, “Simply outrageous, the company had no idea they did this.”

“Yeah. Young Master Ye, we really didn’t know about this.”

“Young Master Ye, please don’t get angry.”

Ye Xiu suddenly slammed the table and said in a deep voice, “I’m not here to listen to you guys try to keep yourselves out of it. If you can not make your decisions and manage your artists, then I can take care of them for you! Director Yu!”

Director Yu: “Young Master Ye. “

Ye Xiu: “I think some artists with tainted character shouldn’t engage in public activities anymore, otherwise they might influence our younger generation. Of course, I’m just suggesting, and you guys can still make your own calls.”

Director Yu of the Broadcasting Bureau smiled. “We accept reports.”

The faces of the seven CEOs directly turned to the color of pig liver.

“Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye! Please don’t get angry.” The seven CEOs immediately put down their cups and came around the table. “This is our company’s matter, we will definitely give you an explanation. Don’t worry, don’t get angry. We haven’t eaten yet. Come and see what to eat, don’t let anger ruin your body.”

Ye Xiu snorted coldly. “I won’t be eating. I’ll give you CEOs a day’s time. I hope that after tomorrow, there won’t be any messy comments under my brother’s public account. Of course, some people have to pay for their stupidity when they do something wrong, and if you want to defend your artists, that’s fine. I’ll also defend my brother in my own way, so we’ll see. “

Having said that, Ye Xiu left directly.

The seven CEOs smiled bitterly and looked at Director Yu. “This… Director Yu, you won’t really…”

Director Yu: “Business is Business, I will need to later re-examine whether the public images of your major artists are appropriate to appear on public television.”

The CEOs were scared to death.

This meant an eternal hiatus.

“Director Yu, come on, let’s talk this over. Please don’t do that. We will go back and we’ll make sure to do this cleanly.”

Director Yu glanced at the seven CEOs and said, “You have only one chance!”

The seven CEOs immediately nodded their heads and bowed. “Thank you, thank you! One is enough! There absolutely won’t be a next time!”
