The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 352 How should I ask him to compensate me?
"Sissi, I'm going to the United States in a few days."

"You're going abroad?" Liu Yifei paused while eating breakfast.

"Well, William has something going on, and he said I have to go over there to take care of it."

"Could this be a trap? Why do you have to go there in person?"

"William wouldn't dare."

"All right."

Liu Yifei picked up the spoon again in a depressed mood, but the delicious porridge had now become tasteless.

"What date will you be back?" Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Zhang Chen expectantly.

"Probably by the end of the month?" Zhang Chen didn't even raise his head. He was eating the fried dough sticks in his hand with relish, and didn't notice Liu Yifei's eyes.

"I'm stuffed."

Liu Yifei put down the chopsticks in her hand, lowered her head and walked towards her room in a depressed mood.

Zhang Chen then raised his head and watched Liu Yifei disappear around the corner.

Zhang Chen: [Okay, I've dispelled her speculation.]

Shu Chang: [I was so scared. Yesterday Yifei asked me if I was going to give her a surprise on her birthday, and I didn’t know how to answer.]

Zhang Shaohan: [Boss, what did you say? ]

Zhang Chen: [I said I was going abroad and would be back at the end of the month.]

Shu Chang: [Hiss——Wouldn’t Yifei be very sad? ]

Zhang Chen: [I don’t think so. I used to be busy with other things on her birthday, but I would always give her a gift or something.]

Shu Chang: [This year is different, this year is her coming-of-age ceremony! ]

Zhang Chen: [My coming-of-age ceremony two years ago was also during the Voice of China competition, but I didn’t pass it either.]

Shu Chang: [This is different, you are a boy and Yifei is a girl! ]

Zhang Chen: [I don’t like what you said. What’s the matter? Are you still treating people differently? ]

Shu Chang: [Oh my! That's not what I meant! Boss, please listen to my explanation! ]

Zhang Chen: [Your bonus for this year is gone. ]

Shu Chang: [Boss, spare me! I haven’t taken any new roles this year, and I’m counting on the year-end bonus to survive! ]

Zhang Chen: [Okay, be careful from now on, don’t let anything slip.]

Zhang Chen ignored Shu Chang's pleas for mercy and closed the group chat.

This was a group he created specifically so that he could directly ask about some matters of concern.

After communicating with several girls that day, he knew clearly that it was easy to make mistakes if he prepared surprises only according to men's thinking.

Now that we have these undercover agents around Liu Yifei, and since they are girls, we can handle this matter better.

"It's really troublesome."

Zhang Chen sighed.

This was the first time he had done such a thing.

As a person who doesn't mind celebrating his birthday, he doesn't take it too seriously.

But Liu Yifei's actions all show that she still cares about this matter.

Perhaps that day represented her coming of age.

Or maybe that day had a special meaning.

Coupled with his mother's indirect hints, he had no choice but to take the matter seriously.

But he also found his own fun in it.

That is. Look at Xiao Liu's rich facial expressions.

From anticipation, to curiosity, to disappointment.

It’s not that he likes to manipulate other people’s emotions, but the huge emotional fluctuations that Liu Yifei experienced because of him made him feel indescribable.

"It's because of you that I take this matter to heart."

On August 8, a piece of news suddenly appeared on Weibo:
[Huayi suffered a major earthquake. Wang Jinghua and all the artists under his company left Huayi. After Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Zhou Yun, Tong Dawei, Ren Quan, Yang Ziqiong, Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialin, Wu Junru, and Yuan Yongyi left Huayi, Huayi was directly emptied out. Only a few models were left to support Huayi's artist business. Where should Huayi go in the future? ]

[Since Wang Jinghua left Chenguang Entertainment with a large number of artists last time, she left her second employer with her artists today. Who will be her next employer after switching jobs for the second time? Will she switch jobs again? ]

"Has Wang Jinghua gotten used to being a traitor? Not only did he backstab Chenguang Entertainment, but he also didn't stay at Huayi. Who else has he found this time?"

"I have long felt that she is a snob. The number of artists that Chenguang Entertainment has is known to all Chinese people. But Wang Jinghua is still not satisfied and was fooled away by Huayi with unknown temptations. I am afraid it will be the same this time."

"That's what ungrateful people are like. They always forget the kindness of their former employer. As long as someone else offers a higher price, they will immediately throw themselves into the arms of that other person. Ugh!"

"Why do I remember that when Chenguang Entertainment gave houses to its employees, it was not long after Wang Jinghua left?"

"Whether Zhang Chen did it on purpose or not, at least Wang Jinghua did owe Chenguang Entertainment an apology that time."

"This guy always says nice things. Last time he said it was for the better development of the artists, but he ended up doing worse at Huayi than Chenguang Entertainment, and he's almost losing his base. This time he's using the same rhetoric again, but it's hard to say what the outcome will be."

"Brothers, it is said that Wang Jinghua's third employer is a brokerage company invested by a small country. This time, Wang Jinghua and her group of artists really don't care about their reputation anymore."

"I've known for a long time that she's not a good person, but now she's turned to Xiaoyuezi?"

"Don't say that. Ever since Wang Jinghua left Morning Light Entertainment, she has been targeted openly and covertly. Many artists can only take on some commercial performances privately to make a living. I guess this time it's because the agency in Sakura Country promised them something, otherwise Wang Jinghua wouldn't risk being scolded for changing jobs for the second time."

"Is there any need to think about this? It must be that Chengtian Entertainment promised her a chance to act in a TV series or film, which made Wang Jinghua switch to that company regardless of everything. Otherwise, the people under her would be left with nothing."

"Why does it sound like it was Zhang Chen's fault that forced Wang Jinghua to make this decision?"

"That's true, but when she backstabbed Morning Glory Entertainment, I heard that Zhang Chen was so angry that he cursed in a meeting. I think from the perspective of Zhang Chen, the betrayed person, Wang Jinghua and her artists deserved it."

"But we can't let these big stars lose their income. I heard that Zhang Chen has secretly issued a ban on them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so miserable that they can only take local commercial performances."

"So when the kid throws a bone, you can just rush over and grab it?"

"That's a bit extreme. People always have to eat."

"I don't think they will be able to make any progress even if they change jobs. As long as Zhang Chen doesn't forgive them, they will never achieve anything in the mainland."

"Zhang Chen shouldn't be so overbearing, right? How many years have passed?"

"It's hard to say. Only Zhang Chen knows the answer to this question."

Netizens are discussing this matter very actively.

In fact, it’s not common for artists to change jobs, but at least there will be reports of it from time to time.

For example, in the early days, when the princess’ contract expired, she switched to another record company, and one of the reasons was that the new company offered a more favorable contract price.

The new employer will also use this "signing fee" to increase its presence and demonstrate its company's strength to the public.

But Wang Jinghua’s behavior is different.

She left Chenguang Entertainment because Zhang Chen set too many rules for her and the artists, which made her, as an agent, lose a lot of voice and income. It just so happened that Huayi promised her very loose conditions and a bigger vision at that time, which made Wang Jinghua, who wanted to become a capital, jump to Huayi regardless of everything.

Moreover, Wang Jinghua had shares in the original "Chenhua Brokerage" and they had a cooperative relationship.

The most important thing is leaving without saying goodbye, which is what people criticize the most.

This time, looking at the frustrated expression on Huayi's Wang Zhonglei's face during the interview, we can tell that Wang Jinghua probably left without saying goodbye again. She also had shares in Huayi, but she still changed jobs.

This kind of behavior of not caring about the life and death of partners and only caring about one's own interests is what makes people disgusted.

Many artists said that Wang Jinghua was very good to them, always considered them in everything, and would help them gain greater benefits.

However, as an artist's agent, it is my job to consider the artist's best interests.

Artists and their agents are one and the same. The more famous an artist is, the higher his income will be. This will also improve the agent's status and allow him to get more income from the artist.

Artists have great influence in the circle, and their agents also have a high status in the circle.

The more such artists have, the greater their influence will be.

The more influence she has, the more she wants.

It is hard to say how much of the benefits she fought for the artists were gained at the expense of the investors' investment.

She is kind to artists, it's true.

But how much of this is good for the artists themselves remains to be discussed.

Ordinary people don’t understand this kind of thing, but Zhang Chen, a big shot in the circle, knows it clearly.

Zhang Chen: [She is just hoping to regain her momentum with the support of foreign investment. She is dreaming.]

Liu Yifei: [But the higher-ups are paying more attention to foreign-funded enterprises now, right? Should we at Chenguang continue to target them?]

Zhang Chen: [It is true that Chengtian is a foreign-funded company, but our Chenguang Group is a multinational company.]

Liu Yifei: [Mr. Chairman of the multinational corporation, have you finished your international affairs? ]

Zhang Chen: [Not yet. The disaster brought by Hurricane Katrina to six southern states of the United States was too severe. Thousands of people were killed. The post-disaster reconstruction will cost at least $2000 billion.]

Liu Yifei: [Why are you so sad about the disasters that happened in other countries? ]

Zhang Chen: [No matter how much money I make in the United States, if I don’t take some practical action at this time, I will be retaliated against.]

Liu Yifei: [Okay, okay, then be careful and avoid going to the disaster area. It’s very dangerous.]

Zhang Chen: [Well, I’ll go back after I’m done.]

Liu Yifei stared blankly at the chat box on the computer screen, and opened a news photo of Zhang Chen doing disaster relief in the United States.

In this photo, Zhang Chen is standing on a pile of ruins, talking to hundreds of disaster victims, with fatigue visible on his face.

"Strange, I haven't seen other wealthy people or celebrities go to the front line to help with disaster relief?"

Liu Yifei supported her chin and muttered something.

Apart from this photo, she saw other news about the hurricane in the United States, which showed people armed with guns maintaining order, and she did not see any wealthy people running to the disaster area where accidents could happen at any time.

"Forget it, just don't get into trouble."

After looking at the photo, Liu Yifei closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and began to pray.

She looked at the different news on both sides and was really worried that something might happen to Zhang Chen.

Ever since Zhang Chen accidentally drowned during filming last time, she has been particularly worried that Zhang Chen might have another accident.

She never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness and heartbreak again.

Her life for the past decade or so has revolved around Zhang Chen.

If Zhang Chen was gone, she didn't know how to face her future life.

"It looks like I'll have to spend my birthday alone again this year."

After opening her eyes, Liu Yifei's eyes were full of regret.

She originally thought she had gotten used to Zhang Chen's life of flying around the world.

Zhang Chen will also give her a birthday present when the time comes.

The birthday gifts she asked Zhang Chen to buy were all daily necessities, not because she really needed them.

But
"Could this idiot not have guessed what I meant?"

"These things are all in your house, how could you not guess?"

Liu Yifei picked up a piglet pillow, stared into the piglet's eyes and began to question it, as if the piglet was Zhang Chen.

“Aaaaaah, this is so annoying—”

After staring at the pig doll for a while, Liu Yifei suddenly lay down on the bed, flapping her feet constantly. Then she turned over and lay on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

She didn't know what caused this sudden irritability.

But she was extremely conflicted at the moment.

She could understand that it was impossible for Zhang Chen to stay with her all the time.

But she wanted him to be by her side at certain important moments.

Moreover, the situation in the United States is indeed serious this time, and Zhang Chen's main market is there, so she can understand Zhang Chen's behavior.

It’s not like she hadn’t thought about going along.

But thinking about my small body, I would probably cause more trouble than help, so I didn't act like a spoiled child.

Besides, her mother also told her that after the 25th, she would be an adult and could no longer act like a little girl.

Otherwise, Zhang Chen will always treat her as a child.

“It’s not easy to be a considerate person.”

Liu Yifei kicked her feet again, as if to express her dissatisfaction.

She felt like she was putting herself aside and letting Zhang Chen choose.

On one side is her, and on the other side is business.

Reason told her that Zhang Chen's business was more important and she couldn't mess around.

But her emotions told her that she felt wronged in these two matters.

This grievance was totally unreasonable, and she also felt that it was a bit excessive.

But it's really uncomfortable to be "chosen" but not chosen.
"No, no!" Liu Yifei suddenly sat up and slapped her cheek vigorously, "Xixi, you can't be so willful!"

"At worst, I can ask that bastard to give it to me."

Liu Yifei began to make excuses for herself, mumbling to herself: "How can I ask him to compensate me?"

　I went to the hospital to treat my stiff neck during the day, but it didn't work.
　　Today is another day of typing with my neck tilted
