Chapter 359: 359 Jokes

@Baotou Boy: “Isn’t this the fault of poor communication by the broker company?”

@Demon Mirror 11: “Whether Tianwang has changed the boss or not, they seem to be inexplicably persistent in screwing over An Lan.”

The matter started to ferment online, and it looked like Yan Ziqing was just waiting for this moment. She thought she’d calculated that Shi Lan would make a fuss, so she immediately had Han Hao edit a response, which was sent out through Tianwang’s official channel.

@Tianwang EntertainmentV: “Since Ms. Yan Ziqing took over the company, in an exceptionally short period of time, she has restored the operation of Tianwang. She treats all artists equally and diligently. Therefore, our company does not have any issues with poor communication with artists, and all work content is conveyed in advance through the broker.”

@Will you respond if I call you: “So, An Lan already knew about the audition and deliberately delayed attending, acting like a diva, right?”

@The Money You Dropped in Front: “Tianwang and An Lan? Sorry, I believe in An Lan more.”

@Single’s Love Song: “The problem now is that whether it is An Lan’s fault or Tianwang’s fault, they have offended a major director in the industry, right?”

@Love Deepens: “It seems that the conflict between An Lan and Tianwang is really deep.”

…

Once Han Hao’s message was released, things became even more complicated.

One side said they didn’t receive any message, the other said the notice was sent out long ago.

So who is lying?

According to normal logic, nobody would suspect a broker company, because after all, it’s not in their interest to do so, but Tianwang isn’t just any broker company, is it? Yan Ziqing openly expressed that she doesn’t like An Lan, so it does make sense that she would deliberately target her own artist.

But no matter what, Tianwang ended up offending Director Xu for Shi Lan.

Now Director Xu’s impression of Shi Lan is utterly terrible.

Even though many people know that An Lan is innocent, it doesn’t change the fact that Yan Ziqing is the Miss of the Yan Family, the princess of Shuangshi.

Is there anything to be done?

No, there isn’t.

However, this doesn’t seem to apply to Miss Shi.

Not for any other reason but because she is stubborn.

@An Lan: “I have to laugh, back when the Qu brothers were around, even when they set people up, they had the decency to cover up the obvious flaws. At least they made sure you couldn’t see the issue at a glance. How come ever since Miss Yan took over, not even a fig leaf is needed? I’ll say it straight, Yan Ziqing has no managerial skills and flaunts her status without any objection from anyone, right? If she truly had managerial skills, has she achieved anything over the many years, from the Shi Family to now the Yan Family?”

“Why did Yan Shixiu not allow the Yan Family members to participate in the management when Shuangshi was established?”

“Everyone can go ask Huahai’s security, is there or isn’t there a rule that Miss Yan is not allowed to enter?”

“I would also like to solemnly advise those considering signing with Tianwang to think clearly about one thing.”

“If a manager is this emotional and disregards actual benefits out of disdain for someone, she can leave after she’s had her fun, but what about you?”

How many artists, under such circumstances, would choose to keep silent and retreat, knowing they are at a disadvantage but still having to swallow the bitter pill?

However, clearly, this standard does not apply to the artist An Lan.

There’s nothing she’s afraid to say, and nothing she’s afraid to do.

And Miss Shi’s remarks hit right where it hurts for Yan Ziqing, as if stripping her naked in front of the whole world.

When Yan Ziqing saw this at home, she was so angry she threw the bottles and jars from her makeup table, causing her mother to jump in shock.

“What’s the matter now?” Yan’s mother asked as she entered her daughter’s room.

“Mom, get out.” Yan Ziqing pushed her out, then called Han Hao, “Find An Lan and tear up her damn mouth.”

“Ms. Yan, there’s no need to get angry over such a shrew. Otherwise, you’re just playing into her hands,” Han Hao consoled Yan Ziqing, “She’s just trying to provoke you. At times like this, the best thing to do is to ignore her. You rest well and leave everything to me.”

“Handle her for me! Now!”

Han Hao hadn’t expected An Lan to react so violently.

Whether it was Huahai or Yan Shixiu, she spoke out bluntly, not afraid of offending anyone.

Dealing directly with this lunatic would surely lead to mutual destruction, so it was time to use a little trick to move a heavy weight.

@TianwangEntertainmentV: “Tianwang Entertainment is committed to the comprehensive development of its artists, and the company has many talents. Ms. Yan is too busy managing countless affairs to target a single artist. Don’t drag the company into the whirlpool because of your own mistakes, or you may live to regret it.”

This was another counterattack by Han Hao.

He managed to maintain the pace, showing no sign of panic.

@AnLan: “Really? So Tianwang thinks I’m dragging this out without any evidence?”

Evidence?

Seeing this word, Han Hao laughed.

How could one talk about evidence in this situation?

In the internal affairs between an artist management company and its artists, who could prove what was true or false?

Even if Xiao Yue were to testify at this time, it could only prove that he was taking sides, not that Tianwang had indeed not issued any notification.

@TianwangEntertainmentV: “Joke.”

Seeing this word, netizens all had a hunch.

It seemed like the truth was about to emerge.

Because a normal person, when provoked to this extent, generally couldn’t stand it anymore.

And what about Shi Lan, the lady who could destroy a whole den of enemies?

As expected, the great Ms. Shi didn’t let the crowd down, saying she had evidence, which meant she could produce it.

@AnLan: “If it weren’t for my ties with Huahai, I really would like to ask you, Yan Ziqing, have you taxed your intelligence? Have you even graduated from elementary school? I would love to turn a blind eye to your antics, but can you please stop showing your lack of standards all the time?”

“I finished recording in Moscow at 7:15 p.m. yesterday. It seemed like I could rush back to Yancheng right away, but could the dear netizens please check the flight schedules from Moscow to Yancheng? That evening’s flight had already taken off, thank you. The next earliest was at 9:30 a.m. Moscow time the following day, with a flight duration of ten hours. Under these conditions, how could I attend the audition? Did Tianwang Entertainment send a private jet for me?”

“Setting aside whether I knew about the audition, as an artist management company, if you can’t orchestrate your clients’ schedules and still schedule an audition for me when you know there are no flights, what are your real intentions? And you still talk to me about professionalism?”

“You don’t even know if the artist can make it back to Yancheng, yet you say you’re devoted and responsible? Who is the joke here, isn’t it obvious? I’m embarrassed for you!”

Shi Lan posted this long blog post, including a video obtained from Sun Ling to prove she was still filming at seven the previous evening, along with a screenshot of flight information from Moscow back to Yancheng.

With these two items, it was practically irrefutable evidence.

Because it proved that either Tianwang was incompetent or Tianwang had it out for An Lan…
