They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Upon seeing that it was Lin Han, the girls were furious.

"Lin Han, could you please not suddenly appear behind people like that?!"

"Sorry, I was just passing by."

Lin Han smiled and said, "However, I cannot agree with what you just said."

Lin Han raised his index finger and said to the girls in a serious tone,

"AWM is the face of our company, and that will never change. AK47 is a bold attempt by me to become a producer. If it fails, the company will have to rely on you guys to save the day! Without you, the company would really collapse!"

Upon hearing this, the girls' expressions softened considerably.

But Mangzi clearly didn't buy it.

"Basically, it means we use the money we earn to support AK47. If AK47 loses money, we'll have to rely on them to make money to cover the company's losses."

"this......"

Lin Han didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

What she said makes so much sense!

Damn it, is Sister Mangzi still angry from just a few days before she died?

In fact, Lin Han could certainly write a few songs for AWM and take control of it.

However, Lin Han felt it was unnecessary.

AWM is a veteran popular girl group in the idol industry. They have their own unique style and charm, as well as a very loyal fan base. They also have a dedicated studio team responsible for their stage performances, music videos, and albums.

Given Lin Han's strong influence in music, if he were to interfere in AWM's affairs, it would inevitably affect AWM's original style. This could very well harm the girls.

Rather than changing the shape of the already excellent AWM, Lin Han would rather raise a group of little girls into mature women who only have his scent.

Seeing Lin Han rendered speechless by the rebuttal, Mangzi finally softened.

"Alright, alright, we're not unreasonable people. We know you're doing this for the company's benefit."

"Indeed, my brother really works hard for the company!" Peach chimed in, echoing his affirmation.

"Don't worry, AK47 is like a little sister to us. We'll do our best to help whenever she needs us!" Orange said.

"I'm glad you understand," Lin Han said, touched.

As expected of my sisters with whom I shared a revolutionary friendship, they still helped me a lot in times of great importance.

"By the way, Lin Han, come here for a moment, there's something I want to talk to you about alone."

Mangzi took a few steps forward and waved to Lin Han.

Lin Han shrank back.

Could it be that the anger that wasn't vented last time, which only grew stronger with each passing moment, is now being settled?

"What are you thinking about? It's about Mu Xin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Han quickly followed.

in the office.

"Remember when I told you I would investigate Mu Xin's background?"

As Mangzi spoke, she pulled a letter from under her skirt and threw it on the table.

"Well, we've found out."

Lin Han opened the envelope with a puzzled look; inside were several photocopied sheets of paper.

The first sheet contained detailed information about Mu Xin, with one line standing out prominently—

[Affiliation: Shakou Group]

"That sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"The largest gang of delinquents in Sakura—you might not understand that, so let me put it another way—the largest violent organization of minors in Sakura, and the person leading it is the Dragon King!"

Mangzi said solemnly,

“I guessed right, Mu Xin is a member of the Bad People gang. The files are full of violent incidents she was involved in.”

"Sigh." Lin Han stroked his chin.

To be honest, since meeting Mangzi, nothing in this world has surprised Lin Han anymore. Even when fighting mercenaries, Lin Han remains calm and collected.

Just a delinquent girl?

If things really got out of hand, Lin Han could make her cry in bed and beg him to keep moving.

"If she's just a typical delinquent girl, then it's nothing."

"But Mu Xin is different. She has an older sister named Mu Zhen. This person is not simple. She is known in the underworld as 'Boss Mu' and is extremely powerful."

"Can I beat you?"

“When she was younger, she could definitely hold her own against me for a few moves.”

"Sister, you're only 19, right?"

"What do you know? In Bad Kids, 18 is considered graduation, okay!" Mangzi's face flushed slightly, then she continued.

"The key point is that Mu Zhen is now one of the three leaders of the Shakou Group. The Shakou Group is divided into three factions. The former leader of the Snake Faction, to which she belongs, Yin Tutu, has just retired, and Mu Zhen has been promoted to leader."

"After hearing all this, it seems like her sister is the one in danger. What does it have to do with Mu Xin?" Lin Han asked.

"Don't you understand? The danger isn't Mu Xin, it's the disaster she might bring."

Mangzi gritted his teeth and said, "The war between delinquents is a fight to the death! The interests in the Sakura delinquent community are deeply intertwined, especially the Shakou Group. How many people have they offended over the years? If we keep Mu Xin around, she might attract some unclean things!"

Hearing this, Lin Han finally understood.

The younger sister of a heavyweight figure in the underworld works in her family's girl group.

In order to deal with this bigwig, someone might target her sister.

At that point, the company might get dragged into it too.

The danger isn't Mu Xin; Mu Xin isn't bad. The danger lies with those who covet her.

Gan!

If you form a girl group of three, two of them will be troublesome!

"I understand." Lin Han took a deep breath. "I will seriously consider this issue."

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, where did you learn so much about this?" Lin Han asked curiously.

All he knew was that Mangzi was a super-strong mercenary and a former delinquent girl, but Lin Han knew nothing about her connection to the underworld.

Mangzi tilted his head and pondered for a while, seemingly seriously considering whether or not to tell Lin Han everything.

After thinking for a long time, she suddenly asked,

Do you know the Godfather?

"what?"

"President!!!"

Just then, the office door suddenly opened, and Hu Yan rushed in.

"Quick, quick, check your phone!!" Hu Yan said breathlessly, "You're trending on social media!!"

"Is it so strange that I'm trending on social media?" Lin Han asked, puzzled.

"They're saying online that you're abusing your trainees!!"

030. Something without the soul of an idol!

While Lin Han was still in a daze, Hu Yan had already placed the tablet computer in front of him.

The hashtag "#JushengMediaSuspectedOfAbusingTrainees" has a small red flame icon prominently displayed next to the main text, indicating that this topic is extremely popular on Weibo!

Lin Han was so frightened that he immediately stood up from his chair.

What the hell? !

He's abusing his trainees?!

Why doesn't he remember this happening?

Lin Han would rather have rumors spread that he had crushed the trainees one by one than take the blame for such a huge mistake!

After clicking into the topic details and browsing for a while, Lin Han finally understood what was going on.

Someone posted the training videos from the training base and the girls' class schedules online!

More than 13 hours of practice every day, up to 20 courses, and completely military-style management.

These alarming figures, these daunting courses, and these girls who are practically zombies in the practice videos.

Where have you ever seen something like this before?!

"My God! Is this training idol trainees or special forces soldiers?!"

"This course is outrageous! More than twenty subjects! The most outrageous agency I've ever seen only has five subjects! Is it really necessary for idols to learn so much?!"

"Those little girls are so young, and they have to suffer this kind of abuse. My God, please save them!!"

"What is Brother Orange doing?! Why is he abusing them like this?! Men with money really do turn bad..."

In just half a day, the entire Weibo account exploded because of this incident.

Because this is far more than just "high-pressure training" for trainees.

Such an intensity of training has reached the point where it warrants "anti-humanitarian" criticism from a humanitarian perspective!

In fact, most of the comments were relatively restrained and not too harsh, thanks to Ju Zi Jiang's excellent reputation in the entertainment industry. Many fans still refused to believe that Lin Han was such a person.

They preferred to believe that this was the work of the company's base manager, and that the "producer" of Orange Jam was just a figurehead, and that this matter had nothing to do with Orange Jam.

However, another group of people were not so polite.

First and foremost are the haters of the orange marmalade, the "orange haters".

The haters have been holding back for so long, and now that they've finally gotten a big one, they should let loose!

"In the end, Orange Jam is just putting on a persona all along! His attitude towards the trainees has completely revealed his true colors!"

"Seriously? This can be washed? That's enough, Ju Xiaozi! Ju Zi Jiang is the producer, and he's in charge of this whole thing!"

"They push trainees to the brink of death just to maximize company profits. They're fucking heartless!!"

In fact, if it were just ordinary netizens hurling insults and making comments, this matter wouldn't have escalated to such a serious level.

The problem is that this incident also prompted a group of "high-profile figures" to speak out.

After learning of this matter, Jin Zong, a well-known industry figure and chairman of JY Studio, stated:

"This is inhumane exploitation and oppression of trainees! I can't believe that such shocking things can still be seen in the 22nd century!"

Mo Zi, the chief producer of Qiangsheng Media, who once single-handedly created the super-popular girl group "KK Girls," angrily expressed on Weibo:

"Idols are supposed to bring smiles and happiness to people. Training them through such inhumane methods only creates a bunch of emotionless robots! They have no idol spirit whatsoever! Jusheng Media doesn't understand idols at all; they only know how to torment young girls!!"

Strangely enough,

Almost on the same day that the Jusheng Media incident was exposed, major agencies and brokerage firms in the industry, as if they had planned it in advance, quickly came out to express their opinions and launch a joint attack on Jusheng Media.

In an instant, Jusheng Media's official Weibo account was completely overwhelmed, and public opinion reached its lowest point.

"They want us dead!" Lin Han smiled and lay back in the chair.

"What a joke! Everyone knows that JY Entertainment is the worst at exploiting trainees. They've blacklisted so many trainees! How dare they say such a thing!"

Unlike Lin Han, Hu Yan was not calm and said angrily,

"The president terminated all the trainees' contracts unconditionally as soon as he took over the company. With just that one action, how dare these people point fingers at the president?!"

Lin Han rarely saw Hu Yan so agitated. He smiled, patted Hu Yan's arm, and told her to calm down.

Hu Yan looked at Lin Han with a somewhat aggrieved expression. She felt sorry for the club president, but the president acted as if nothing had happened, continuing as before.
