[Oh my god. look at what he did. This is insane. The talent agent was the one lying about her drug abuse.]
[I am speechless. Mu Sheng is the real victim here. The talent agent lied to her and smeared her reputation. Is the talent agency trying to kill her? How can a female celebrity find any work with a history as a drug addict?]
[Even though I am not a fan of Mu Sheng’s, the company is too much! How could they do this to their celebrity?]
“You buffoons! What’s going on?” Yang Tao was infuriated and anxious as he looked at the comments online. “If you can’t delete the posts, then you are fired!”
No matter what the marketing department did, the video remained pinned where it was as a hot search. It was impossible to remove it.
Just as a foreboding atmosphere spread throughout the office, a phone suddenly rang, and all eyes turned to Yang Tao.
Yang Tao picked up the phone. Before he even started to speak, his face had already turned sweaty. “Hi, Mr. Li. We are doing our best to remove the post.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Yang Tao’s superior interrupted him right away, “Go to HR and collect your letter of termination. We will sue you for abusing power and blackmailing our celebrity.”
The moment Mr. Li finished his sentence, he hung up the phone.
“No, wait. Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?” asked Yang Tao anxiously. However, the only reply he heard was a mechanical beep.
He hurriedly called back, but the line was busy. After he tried several times, he was finally certain he was blacklisted by Mr. Li.
Yang Tao felt dizzy and almost could not stand up straight. He supported himself using the chair’s backrest before he sat down with sweat trickling down his forehead.
He swiftly realized that he had gotten forsaken and was going to take the fall for this.
Meanwhile, Talent Scout Entertainment made yet another post on social media.
@Talent Scout Entertainment: [After careful investigation, we have come to a conclusion that our talent agent, Yang Tao, has been oppressing our celebrities and lying to us. He has caused irreparable damage to our reputation, so he will be fired and held legally accountable for his actions.]
[Wow. Look at how quickly the company reacted. Good job. You have to be good to our dear Yingying from now on as well.]
[That was pretty good. The talent agency reacted quite forcefully and fired Yang Tao altogether. It has my 100% support.]
[Am I the only person who finds this fishy? Do you think the talent agency is completely in the dark about the things Yang Tao did? He was probably driven out of the company to take the blame.]
Although some people found the talent agency’s reaction suspicious, social media was quickly overrun by comments from Ruan Yingying’s fans.
Since Yang Tao’s superiors at Talent Scout Entertainment wanted to give up on him, he quickly thought about how to salvage the situation.
Oh yes! He forgot about Ruan Yingying! If she was willing to speak up on his behalf, there was hope for him. The talent agency might just let him off on account of her.
He hurriedly called Ruan Yingying. “Hi, Yingying. Is Director Yang going to start filming soon? Do you have any other requests? If you do, I can help you talk to the production team.”
Ruan Yingying lay on the couch as she blew on her freshly done cherry blossom pink nails. “Isn’t the company terminating its contract with you? I have already gotten assigned to Liu Hui. After working so hard all these years, you finally earned a nice long break.”
