Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Overbearing president and his delicate wife?
In an instant, news of “Jiang Zhouye Leaving the Industry” spread like wildfire.
At that moment, a tall, thin man dressed in black with a hat and mask approached Jiang Zhouye.
He said with a deep sigh, “Zhou Zhou, the company had to make this decision; I hope you don’t overthink it. We’re all doing this for the good of the team.”
“In the afternoon, paparazzi caught you coming out of the police station. The incident about the fan you had sent to the station hasn’t garnered much attention yet. The company has bought that footage, and it’ll be deleted as soon as you sign the termination contract. Otherwise, it’d ruin your public image. Your voice is already like this; you wouldn’t want to ruin your reputation further, right?”
The noise around them was chaotic, but only their small group could clearly hear the conversation.
Jiang Nanshu switched places with Lu Qingyan and sat next to Jiang Zhouye, eavesdropping and silently enjoying the drama.
“Talk is cheaper than singing. Once you sign, they’ll sue you, forcing the company to terminate the contract and pay a hefty penalty. Haohan Media is really wicked.”
Jiang Zhouye scoffed, “Brother Huang, you invited me to this concert just to tell me face-to-face that the boy group won’t disband. Oh, I mean, disband everyone but me, right?”
Jiang Nanshu shook his head as he listened.
“It’s already announced, and you still ask? How stupid! They’ve already formed the group. If I were you, I’d slap the agent and walk away, then go home and wait for the penalty. Your company will even owe you the underwear, emmm, do they even want your unwashed underwear?”
Jiang Zhouye: “…”
Just spill the secrets, why bring up his underwear!
He was just rambling that day.
He felt like he could be remembered by Jiang Nanshu forever.
Brother Huang frowned disapprovingly, “What are you saying? If it weren’t for your voice getting damaged, would we replace you? It’s all your own fault, and yet you’re blaming others. Zhou Zhou, I used to think you were an honest and good kid, but now I feel like I was wrong about you. You should apologize to me.”
Brother Huang turned the tables and played the victim to the extreme.
Jiang Zhouye: “…”
Indeed, he really should slap this hypocritical agent.
“You’re betraying me, using my fame to reformat the boy group, and pushing Lian Xingze. Is your method even moral? Forcing me to terminate my contract and leave the industry just makes me sick. And, Brother Huang, about my voice, do you really know nothing?” Jiang Zhouye said sarcastically.
Brother Huang was startled and quickly denied, “Don’t slander me; your voice issues are your own problem, nothing to do with us. The company has already prepared the contract for you to sign shortly, or else you know the consequences for tomorrow.”
“Snort.” Jiang Zhouye scoffed.
“Tch.” Jiang Nanshu looked at him with sympathy and barely held back his tears, “Fourth Brother, since the company has fired you, just go home and take over the family business. Didn’t our family buy some land? You could help our eldest brother to lighten his load.”
“The two brothers expanding that poisoned land is more important than anything.”
Jiang Zhouye: “…”
Since the area was dark, Brother Huang didn’t see Jiang Nanshu, only heard his voice, and he didn’t bother looking at the country bumpkin.
Ha.
It was true.
Having lost his singer’s job,
Jiang Zhouye could only go home to farm.
This once profitable tree had lost its value for Brother Huang, who couldn’t be bothered, “Sing for the old ladies in the countryside with that ruined voice of yours. Your era is over, Jiang Zhouye.”
Jiang Zhouye couldn’t take it anymore and threw a punch at his face, knocking him to the ground.
Muttering curses, “Screw you for deceiving me and harming me while acting so noble, Huang Zhi, I’m telling you, you’re finished.”
The noise from the fight alerted security.
As they pulled Jiang Zhouye away, his mask fell, and the cameras captured his angry face on the big screen.
Suddenly, the scene exploded.
The crowd stirred.
“My God! Isn’t that Zhou Zhou? He’s actually here at the venue, why didn’t they let him on stage?”
“Who is Brother hitting? Wuuu, don’t catch him, he looks so wronged.”
“Damn company, using and discarding, Zhou Zhou has worked so hard for Haohan Media these past few years. If it weren’t for Haohan Media signing him initially, they would’ve gone bankrupt long ago. Now that they’re rising again because of Zhou Zhou, they start to get arrogant. Just go bankrupt!”
The surroundings were noisy.
Lu Qingyan shielded Jiang Nanshu in his embrace, the people behind trying to push forward, which easily could’ve turned into a stampede.
Brother Huang pointed at Jiang Zhouye’s nose and cursed, “Quick, throw this mad dog out! Continue the concert.”
Jiang Zhouye was taken away by security.
This concert was screwed.
The five on stage no longer felt like continuing to sing.
Even if they wanted to sing, the fans didn’t want to listen.
Most were here for Jiang Zhouye.
Jiang Nanshu was quite pleased with the commotion.
“Good job, he’ll know what regret is tomorrow, unless he uses the power of the Jiang Family, but his reputation will stink quite a bit, hehe.”
She clung tightly to Lu Qingyan’s hand, her face full of worry, “Brother Qingyan, Fourth Brother won’t be in trouble, right? I’m really worried about him, let’s go out and check.”
Lu Qingyan, “…”
He looked at the crowded venue, figuring it was difficult to even get out.
He pulled out his phone and calmly made a call.
Soon, hundreds of well-trained bodyguards forcefully cleared a path through the area.
Lu Qingyan stood up, his tall figure graceful, his beautiful fingers lifting Jiang Nanshu’s hand, “Now we can go out.”
Jiang Nanshu, “…”
“This commotion is so big! I’ll be famous by tomorrow!”
Lu Qingyan dismissed it with a smile, these paparazzi would dare to release the photos.
The crowd kept surging, those at the back couldn’t clearly see what was happening in the front.
“Holy shit, is this some young master here at the concert too? Such a grand entrance.”
“Oh my, domineering CEO with his delicate wife? Who is that? Curious.”
Lu Qingyan draped his arm over Jiang Nanshu’s shoulder, using half of his body to shield her from the curious gazes of the outside world.
It wasn’t until they exited that Jiang Nanshu finally felt relieved.
“Where’s my Fourth Brother? Why isn’t he here?”
Yang Jiashu glanced around and sighed, “Thought I’d see something exciting, but this… If Fourth Brother Jiang didn’t hide his identity, Haohan Media would have to hold onto him dearly, they wouldn’t dare treat him like this.”
Jiang Nanshu feigned concern, “My Fourth Brother just trusted the wrong people. He’s a very talented man. Even if he loses this company, I believe he can still make a comeback.”
“Waiting for him is only a dark path.”
Yang Jiashu was visibly moved, “Nanshu, you’re really kind. With your words, Fourth Brother will definitely come out of this adversity!”
Jiang Nanshu was touched, seeing Jiashu as a kindred spirit, “Jiashu Brother, only you understand me in this world. Everyone thinks I’m bad and doesn’t like me, but actually, I’m a kind girl.”
“Mmm, they don’t understand you.”
Lu Qingyan, “…”
Dare you say what’s really on your mind?
