Now that you're a top star, can't you enjoy life a little?

Song Jianhua was the second to raise his right hand, and even glanced triumphantly in Yu Huai's direction.

He had already calculated everything before the meeting was held.

With Mr. Yang's involvement, the combined shareholding of these individuals will exceed 51%.

In other words, they are guaranteed to win this vote!

After looking at Yu Huai, he turned his gaze to the woman at the head of the conference table.

Despite the magnitude of the event, her expression remained calm, without even a furrowed brow, like an emotionless robot.

Pretending!

The thought of kicking her off the stage soon filled Song Jianhua with excitement, which outweighed his fear of Jiang Rendong.

Blame yourself!

Stupid woman, you've cut corners on the very lifeline of your workforce!

Even trainees, which I'm responsible for, are being cut directly from Star Dream's core business. If you don't step down, who will?

Seeing the raised right hands of the directors, even those whose businesses hadn't been cut began to waver.

The trend is irreversible.

Many people were worried for Jiang Rendong.

President Jiang is really too hasty this time. Even if you have to cut business to free up funds, you should at least cut some of the less important ones.

Why would you directly target the core business?

"May I say something before I vote?"

Jiang Rendong finally spoke. Even at this moment, her clear voice remained steady and calm, her pace was neither too fast nor too slow, and her pronunciation was clear.

"sure."

Yang Ming straightened his dark suit, which was the same style as Jiang Rendong's, leaned back in his chair, and gestured for the other person to continue, adopting a victorious posture.

At the same time, he waved to the directors who had raised their hands in support.

One by one, the raised right hands were lowered instantly, a sight that made Yang Ming almost unable to contain his smile.

He looked at Jiang Rendong, his eyes filled with both the smugness of impending success and his infatuation with her.

Dongdong, did you see that? This is my ability. Now, can you still treat me like a random passerby, like a cleaning lady?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Jiang Rendong took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Come in."

The conference room door was pushed open, and a woman in business attire and high heels walked in; she was Jiang Rendong's assistant.

"Excuse me, please let me pass."

The artists, who stood obediently and dared not utter a word, all made way for her.

"Mr. Jiang, here are the things you requested."

The girl handed him a blue folder.

Jiang Rendong nodded, "You read it to everyone."

Upon hearing this, the girl opened the folder and began to read aloud.

Perhaps it's because she's been around Jiang Rendong for so long, but the female assistant not only dresses like her, wearing the same dark business attire, but also acts in a similar style.

Despite being stared at by so many eyes, she showed no signs of nervousness and spoke clearly, enunciating each word distinctly.

"Song Jianhua, the head of trainee business at Xingmeng Entertainment, accepted a bribe from a competitor company on October 15, 2022, and put laxatives in the cup of our female artist Gu Jie, causing her to miss her audition and lose the role competition."

"In November of the same year, he participated in the resale of business resources."

"December, tax evasion..."

"Jin Lixi, Minister of Business and Economics at Xingmeng Entertainment, July 22..."

The female assistant's voice reached the ears of everyone present with precision.

Just minutes ago, the "victors" were smug and beaming with pride, but now they were all sweating profusely and trembling with fear.

No one could have imagined that the woman, as beautiful as Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty, would be so ruthless, silently gathering evidence against so many people.

These are all pieces of evidence that could send them in.

Those who didn't understand why she was drastically cutting core businesses before now understand completely.

It turns out that President Jiang had already thoroughly investigated these people, and was just taking this opportunity to wipe them all out.

They were initially relieved that they weren't on the list of those whose "business was adjusted," but the next second, their expressions froze.

Just because they weren't on the list this time doesn't mean that President Jiang didn't investigate them.

Given the extent of President Jiang's knowledge of the evidence against these individuals, those who are not on the list have probably already been thoroughly investigated.

They were clean, so nothing was found out.

Even though nothing's wrong, nobody likes being investigated.

In an instant, everyone looked at Jiang Rendong with a deeper sense of awe and fear.

Everyone has their own little secrets, and now there's someone who can easily find out all of them. How can anyone not be afraid?

"No, stop reading..."

Finally, some people couldn't take it anymore and started to regret getting on Yang Ming's pirate ship.

Jiang Rendong raised his hand, and the female assistant stopped; the terrifying "demonic sound" finally disappeared.

"President Jiang, Mr. Yang ordered us to do everything today. We didn't mean to oppose you. Please be lenient and let us off this time."

Song Jianhua was the quickest to raise his hand and the quickest to defect.

Yang Ming waited for him angrily, thinking of this good-for-nothing who was more trouble than he was worth!

But Song Jianhua didn't even look at him. Now, all he cared about was whether he could be let off the hook. He didn't want to go to jail and become "Lock Song" (a derogatory term for Song Jianhua).

"Yes, President Jiang, please let us off this time. It was all President Yang's doing."

Song Jianhua took the lead and knelt down, and the others immediately followed suit.

The situation reversed in an instant!

But Jiang Rendong's face showed no triumph or joy at turning defeat into victory; she didn't even show any emotional fluctuation.

From beginning to end, it remained calm.

"Letting you off this time isn't out of the question."

Jiang Rendong's words were like heavenly music to the pleading shareholders.

"However, you have committed a crime after all. Our Star Dream Entertainment is not a place to hide filth. Your status as Star Dream shareholders..."

Song Jianhua immediately said, "President Jiang, don't worry, we have no face to stay at Xingmeng any longer. I'm willing to sell my shares to the company at the lowest market price..."

Jiang Rendong looked at him without saying a word.

Song Jianhua immediately changed his tune, "Ah no, it's half of it, sold to the company at the lowest price, and the other half, transferred free of charge."

Jiang Rendong remained silent.

This time, however, Song Jianhua remained silent.

Making him leave with nothing is worse than going to jail; at least there's food and drink provided, and he won't end up on the streets.

The shareholders who had just begged for mercy have now fallen silent.

Yang Ming suddenly laughed. He gradually realized that Jiang Rendong had a fatal problem.

She has no money!

Although these shareholders were willing to cut their losses and leave the market, transferring their shares at the lowest possible price, Jiang Rendong couldn't even come up with that minimum amount of funds.

She's now in a dilemma. She can't very well cut the rest of the company's projects just to raise money.

But the remaining officials in charge no longer have any leverage for you to use against them.

Haha!

Yang Ming really wanted to burst out laughing.

Come on, Dongdong, beg me! If you beg me, I'll pay this money for you!

"President Jiang, I think that since President Song has already made such a big concession, we should agree to it."

Yu Huai's sudden outburst broke the silence of the conference room.

Yang Ming looked at him and said with a smile, "Yu Huai, if it weren't for you, President Jiang would have already readily paid up. Are you implying that President Jiang doesn't have any money in his account?"

Yu Huai smiled mysteriously, "President Yang, how do you know the company is out of money?"
