During the one-hour lesson, Ye Liu and Li Zhao's mouths barely stopped.
An Youyu listened for an hour and ate for an hour.
By the time class ended, she was so full she could barely walk.
Inside the Cuttlefish Library.
An Youyu lay down on the single bed, staring at Lin Mo in front of the desk with a particularly resentful look in her eyes, "It's all your fault, you made me eat so much, I'm almost stuffed to death."
Lin Mo spun his chair around. "Little Fish, you only ate one steamed bun and one meat pie. I ate everything else."
"The steamed buns are this big, the meat pies are this big..."
As An Youyu spoke, she gestured with her hands.
Lin Mo found the exaggerated movements amusing. "It's my fault, it's my fault. You should lie down and rest for a while."
The moment Lin Mo turned away, the resentment in An Youyu's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a bright smile.
Mother-in-law, Lin Mo treats her really well...
A few days later, Shuangmu Entertainment released a signing announcement, with nearly a hundred artists joining the company, which shook the entire entertainment industry.
For a newly established entertainment company to sign hundreds of artists within just a few days is quite an achievement. It goes without saying that Shuangmu Entertainment must have a powerful background.
Otherwise, the three giants of the entertainment industry would never have allowed Shuangmu Entertainment to sign artists so recklessly.
The three giants are Meteor Entertainment, Starry Sea Entertainment, and Dingsheng Entertainment.
Fortunately, among the celebrities signed by Shuangmu Entertainment, the highest-rated are only second-tier stars, and there isn't even a single first-tier star.
There are two hard criteria for becoming a top-tier celebrity: having a representative work and having more than ten million fans.
The first condition is easy to meet; any work can be called a masterpiece. However, the second condition is extremely difficult to achieve.
Looking across the entire Xia Kingdom, you can't find more than a hundred celebrities with over ten million fans.
Among these top-tier artists, only a handful are freelancers who have established their own studios. No matter how good the offer is, they will not join any entertainment company.
No matter how good the salary is, it's not as comfortable as being your own boss.
The vast majority of A-list celebrities, including a few top-tier stars, all come from the three entertainment giants.
The three entertainment giants are also jokingly referred to as the "Three Gods of Contracts".
Once you join these three companies, you'll be locked into a contract, and you won't be able to escape until you've squeezed every last bit of value out of them.
This has led to many A-list and top-tier celebrities, even those working for one of the three major entertainment companies, still having no goodwill towards their own companies.
In this situation, the fact that Shuangmu Entertainment still hasn't signed any A-list stars means that it doesn't want to offend the three entertainment giants.
In this light, while Shuangmu Entertainment may have a powerful background, it certainly cannot compare to that of the three entertainment giants.
The entertainment industry is a complex and murky place; the involvement of any force could stir up this stagnant pool.
Judging from the current situation, Shuangmu Entertainment does not seem to have the ability to stir up any storm.
Super A-list celebrities and A-list celebrities can't help but feel a sense of regret...
If Shuangmu Entertainment has the strength to confront the three giants, they might be able to take the opportunity to escape from their clutches.
The day after Shuangmu Entertainment announced the signing of its artists, it posted another update, causing a stir throughout the entertainment industry.
[According to our investigation, the artists announced yesterday as having poor conduct have been placed on a complete blacklist. Our company will not accept any commercial collaborations with them at this time.]
Upon seeing this news, not only was the entire entertainment industry stunned, but the entire population of Xia Kingdom was also stunned.
What is Shuangmu Entertainment doing?
Keep in mind, this includes nearly a hundred celebrities!
Putting aside everything else, the total amount of breach of contract fees for these celebrities alone is astronomical, easily amounting to over a billion yuan.
We spent so much money to poach these stars, and before they'd even done anything, the very next day they were announced to be sidelined.
Poor character?
This reason is not only far-fetched, it's incredibly far-fetched! Grandma opened the door for her grandma, it's ridiculously far-fetched!
Is this some kind of joke?
The statement from Shuangmu Entertainment quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list within two hours of its release, attracting countless comments and messages from netizens.
"Holy crap! What kind of incredible move is that?"
"Signed on the first day, then sidelined on the second day, it's really hard to understand!"
"Goodness gracious, I just counted the list, a total of ninety-eight celebrities. Shuangmu Entertainment must have signed at least several hundred million stars, right? And they're just shelving them like this? Are they just playing around with money?"
"Just a heads-up, the guy upstairs, Shuangmu Entertainment must have spent at least 1.5 billion to sign this group of stars. A few hundred million is far from enough. I just want to know who the boss of Shuangmu Entertainment is. They're amazing, they don't treat money like money. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!"
"Awesome, I'm starting to pay attention to you just because of your energy."
...
The Holy Shadow Building... no, it should now be called the Twin Wood Building.
After founding Shuangmu Entertainment, Lin Xue directly spent 1 billion yuan to purchase the 22-story Shengying Building, renamed it Shuangmu Building, and used it as the headquarters of Shuangmu Entertainment.
At this moment, the conference room on the 22nd floor of Shuangmu Building was packed with people, and the heated discussion made it as noisy as a morning market.
"Why!"
"Shuangmu Entertainment is ripping people off!"
"Who says otherwise? They just spent a fortune to poach us from our old company, and then they announced they were going to sideline us. That's not fair!"
"That's right, if Shuangmu Entertainment doesn't give us an explanation today, we'll sue them, damn it!"
...
Just then, a cold, mocking laugh came from the conference room doorway.
Hearing the laughter, everyone looked towards the doorway.
Lin Xue, dressed in a business suit and wearing high heels, slowly walked into the conference room, with He Qiqi following behind her.
Upon arriving at the front of the conference room, He Qiqi brought over a chair and respectfully nodded, saying, "Miss, all ninety-eight people have arrived."
Lin Xue nodded slightly, sat down, and glanced at everyone.
The next second, her voice rang out.
"My name is Lin Xue, and I'm the owner of Shuangmu Entertainment."
Upon hearing this, the conference room fell silent instantly, and the celebrities present all showed expressions of surprise.
No one expected that the owner of Shuangmu Entertainment was not only a woman, but also so young.
But the thought of Lin Xue's so-called actions reignited everyone's anger.
From the crowd, a second-tier artist named Jiang Tianshuo stepped forward and asked, "President Lin, why are you putting us on hiatus? Did Shuangmu Entertainment spend money to poach us just to put us on hiatus?"
As Jiang Tianshuo raised his question, those present began to give orders in succession.
Standing behind Lin Xue, He Qiqi frowned and snapped, "What's all the noise about? Quiet down!"
After the meeting room quieted down again, Lin Xue glanced at Jiang Tianshuo lightly and then laughed.
"That's right, we recruited you all to sideline you. Is there a problem with that?"
For a moment, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
This……
Jiang Tianshuo frowned deeply. "President Lin, there has to be a reason for everything, right?"
"Reason? I already gave it."
Lin Xue lowered her head and fiddled with her freshly done manicure, her tone indifferent: "The people of you are of poor character, that's why we're going to freeze your jobs. Is there any other problem?"
Chapter 697 Culture is the Soul
"Poor character?"
Where have we fallen short of moral standards?
"That's right! What evidence is there to prove that we are of bad character? This is blatant slander!"
"Why would someone with such poor character spend a fortune to poach us? What were they thinking?"
...
"Quiet!"
He Qiqi spoke again.
However, this time the crowd chose not to give them face and continued to do as they pleased, shouting and glaring angrily at Lin Xue.
After all, Lin Xue was going to sideline them, so why should they be polite to her?
He Qiqi wanted to speak up again, but Lin Xue stopped her with a look, her gaze towards the crowd filled with sarcasm.
The next second, a cold voice rang out.
"Evidence? What a joke! My words are the evidence! I said you are of poor character, so you are of poor character. You disagree? Go ahead and sue me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xue turned to He Qiqi and ordered, "Call security and kick these eyesores out. From now on, no one is allowed to enter Shuangmu Building without my permission."
"Okay, Miss Second."
He Qiqi took out a walkie-talkie, and two minutes later, only she and Lin Xue were left in the conference room.
Lin Xue clicked her tongue twice, then chuckled and exclaimed, "No wonder so many people like to show off; it's so satisfying to do so!"
Upon hearing this, He Qiqi couldn't help but laugh. "Second Miss, our Shuangmu Entertainment is quite famous for its business dealings. Just an hour ago, the three major companies called to inquire about the purpose of our move."
"The three giants?"
Lin Xue's lips curled up, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes. "A mere entertainment industry dares to call itself one of the three giants? It's utterly laughable. The reason I haven't taken action against their artists is mainly because I look down on their stars. I'm afraid these three companies will think that Shuangmu is afraid of them."
He Qiqi smiled and said, "What Miss Er guessed is pretty much right. The three companies were very arrogant on the phone today, so I didn't bother with them and hung up on them all."
"Good."
Lin Xue got up and walked outside, saying as she went, "Qiqi, from now on, you will be in charge of Shuangmu's affairs. I will look for new people for the manor."
