It was the same for a certain director. If he was a big director, there was no need for him to rush to find talents. When the pre-selection announcement was released, there would naturally be many people rushing over to make the selection.
This time, his reputation was ruined. Most of the investors would withdraw their investments or even ask him to pay the penalty fee.
The earlier investments had already been spent, and with the penalty fee, this director was already considered lucky that he did not empty his savings, let alone earn money from this show.
As for Ruiyi…
In the eyes of many, it was indeed bigger than East City, and it was considered an old entertainment company.
Initially, everyone was still waiting excitedly to watch the two companies fight to the death.
However, it did not take long for them to realize that they had been too naïve. They waited and waited, but there was no public fight between the two companies. Instead, the higher-ups from Ruiyi stole the IRS and leaked the IRS. They forced the company’s artists to accept the unspoken rules, and there was even a huge scandal where someone died.
Overnight, almost all of Ruiyi’s upper echelons were captured. Without a leader, they lost all their reputation, and Ruiyi easily changed hands.
This swift and decisive fall from the stage left the spectators dumbstruck, but they also felt satisfied.
Even though the people hiding behind this incident were not as miserable as Ruiyi, they had learned their lesson.
“Ah!!!” Mrs. Huo stood in front of the emergency room, pacing around anxiously. From time to time, she would let out a low scream and murmur, “How could this be? How could this be?”
Huo Qihan, who rushed over upon hearing the news, frowned when he saw her expression. “What’s going on? My company still has a contract to sign.”
Mrs. Huo was already anxious, to begin with, but when she heard his words, she instantly flared up. “Contract, contract, contract. You only know about contracts. Shaofeng is in trouble, yet you’re still thinking about the contract.”
If Huo Qihan had heard about his only son’s accident in the past, he might have been nervous. But now, he was unexpectedly cold and even a little impatient.
“If I don’t sign the contract or work, what will you eat? You only know how to eat the food I bring to the table, stay in my house, and complain about me. Who gave you the face?”
Mrs. Huo was rendered speechless by her husband’s rude rebuttal. It took her a while to react, and she was so angry that she was trembling.
“What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me? Back then, you were the one who refused to let me go out to work. You said that women should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. You said that you will take good care of us. It’s only been a few years, have you forgotten?”
“That’s enough,” Huo Qihan interrupted Mrs. Huo impatiently. He did not care about her as much as he did when they were husband and wife. Instead, he only felt that she was making a fuss out of nothing.
“I don’t want to argue with you. Did you call me just to argue with me? What happened to Shaofeng? If you don’t tell me, I’m leaving.”
Mrs. Huo was so angry that she was trembling. Then, she thought about her son, who was still in the emergency room. She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She said coldly, “I’m not sure either. I just received a call saying that Shaofeng was beaten up at the bar and is still in the emergency room.”
Huo Qihan clicked his tongue and complained in a low voice, “He’s already so old, yet he’s still idling around and causing trouble everywhere.”
Mrs. Huo’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if she could not believe that her husband had said those words.
In the past, even if Huo Shaofeng was the one causing trouble, he would always protect him. Now, it was his son who was sent to the emergency room, and it was someone else’s fault, but he…. was blaming her for causing trouble?
