I woke up to find I had gotten my marriage certificate with a female celebrity.

"Should you go negotiate or should I? If things continue like this, the company's strategy will be ruined sooner or later!"

"No way!" Zhao Junqi slammed his fist on the table twice, his tone extremely firm.

"We can't use such simple conditions; we need to increase the requirements!"

"If other artists follow suit, will this team even be able to continue operating?"

The others didn't know what was wrong with him either, but he was unusually irritable today.

"Upgrade? What else do you want to upgrade?"

Zhao Junqi raised his middle finger and tapped it back and forth on the table.

As he spoke, a thumping sound echoed in the background.

"What exactly is an entertainer?"

"That's just something used to pander to the audience and get them to pay."

"She should just obediently do whatever the company tells her to do."

"She's only had a few songs and she's already gotten so much recognition? And Chen Xiran's attitude has become so arrogant."

"Oh my god, I can't even imagine what will happen after the album is released. Will they still try to take advantage of us?"

These words made many people frown; they were simply too harsh.

"Alright, Lao Zhao, you're not some greenhorn fresh out of school anymore. Why are you so angry?"

But Zhao Junqi still wouldn't let go of this topic.

"What do you mean by my temper? I'm doing this for the company's good!"

"Besides, I'm in charge of public relations, not you guys who are just watching from the sidelines!"

"You're taking a huge risk by offending a bunch of lunatics for no reason, don't you understand?"

Zhao Junqi lowered his voice slightly, but his attitude remained the same.

"Let's add another condition."

"Besides not being able to refuse commercial activities, we also need to get her to cooperate with the company's operations and drive traffic to other artists."

"Otherwise, there's no need to hold this meet-and-greet; she'll just be sidelined from now on."

"The new album has been generating buzz, and it sells a lot of copies without any hype. Anyway, we're not going to lose money right now."

The group exchanged glances and agreed that what he said made sense.

Ultimately, artists must be managed by their companies. If the companies can't control their artists, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

As for the matter of being sidelined, they assumed Zhao Junqi was just angry and didn't take it to heart at all.

To keep such a huge cash cow hidden away would require the entire management team to be completely out of their minds.

General Manager Ye Yuan glanced at his watch; there were still two hours until the fan meeting.

There's still time to start talking now.

"Alright, I'll handle this personally. You all get out."

"Although I'd rather not mention it, only a few of us know what happened today."

Hearing Ye Yuan make the decision, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

Today was supposed to be a discussion about future operations and endorsement activities, but unexpectedly this mess has suddenly occurred.

Ye Yuan clapped his hands, intending to dismiss the crowd.

Zhao Junqi had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped and turned back.

"Zhao Junqi, are you ever going to stop?"

Ye Yuan is, after all, the general manager, and besides, things have already been settled.

If Zhao Junqi still insists on refuting, then he is truly disrespecting him.

"I have something else to say."

"What is it?" Ye Yuan was clearly getting impatient.

"I was just thinking, isn't Chen Xiran's attitude a bit too forceful? He doesn't even care about his own future."

"I think there's definitely something wrong with her relationship with Qin Yi, and it's not just a normal problem."

"The company should investigate this matter more thoroughly to avoid any future problems."

The other executives thought he was about to say something.

Upon hearing this, I instantly lost interest.

I think he's just making trouble out of nothing, it's like he's talking nonsense.

"What's the point of investigating this? Everyone knows Qin Yi's capabilities."

"It's only been a little over three months since the song 'Youth' was released."

"In these three months, he not only created an album, but also wrote several singles."

"Not to mention that every single one of these singles is a masterpiece, and the song 'Know Me' is still at the top of the charts."

As soon as he finished speaking, another senior executive shared the same idea.

"With such a composer around, if it were me, I would do everything I could to protect him."

"Even if you actually find out they have a relationship, so what?"

"Are you suggesting we expose her using the company's name?"

Seeing that Zhao Junqi was about to speak, several people quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arms, and pushed him out.

Before long, the office gradually quieted down.

Ye Yuan sat down in the chair, sighed, and rubbed his temples.

Deep down, he didn't want to get involved in Qin Yi's affairs.

Brokerage firms are essentially commercial entities.

The initial plan was that the company would at most contact them privately, offering a few words of comfort to express their attitude.

If this matter continues to escalate and subsequently affects Chen Xiran, then the company will intervene.

But since things have come to this point, a solution is still needed.

So Ye Yuan picked up his phone and dialed Yun Fan's number.

Is Chen Xiran with you?

Yun Fan replied over the phone, "Manager Ye, she's right here with me."

Ye Yuan paused for a moment before speaking.

"Come to my office, you can do it yourself."

Yun Fan responded with a sound of agreement, and then the call was disconnected.

Seeing the sorrow on her face, Chen Qianyu felt even more guilty.

"Sister Yun, it's all my fault..."

"You could have just left back then, and you wouldn't have been implicated."

Yun Fan glared at her, annoyed.

"Look at what you're saying."

"You had a falling out with the company, and I, your agent, slunk away and hid to the side."

"If word got out, wouldn't I be laughed at to death?"

"From now on, when people mention me, Yun Fan, their first impression will be that I don't care about the artists under my management."

"Then I don't need to work in this industry anymore."

"It's not just for you, it's also for my own career."

Yun Fan actually said these words on purpose; she didn't think that much when she was choosing sides.

I'm saying this now just to prevent Chen Qianyu from overthinking it.

"I need to go to the office to see President Ye. You can prepare for the meeting according to the previous plan."

"We'll talk about other things after I get out."

Yun Fan patted her on the shoulder, then turned around and went back.

Standing in front of the door, she took several deep breaths.

After calming himself down, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A deep voice came from inside.

As soon as Yun Fan pushed open the door, she had a bad feeling.

Instead of sitting in the office chair, he sat on the sofa next to him.

Steam was rising from the kettle, and someone was making tea.

Ye Yuan's first words had nothing to do with work; instead, he asked her how the tea was.

Yun Fan knew perfectly well what was going on.

If a leader suddenly adopts a casual, conversational tone, it's definitely not a good sign.

Does this mean he's going to fire himself, or that Chen Xiran is terminating his contract?

Several possibilities ran through her mind.

She nodded and said it was good, then Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.

"Yun Fan, you've been with the company for seven or eight years now, haven't you?"

"You've had a tough time all these years."

Yun Fan lowered her head, but she was already on guard.

"Oh no, is this some kind of PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics?"
