As Jiu Cuo gradually gained popularity, her fans also experienced the joy of nurturing her, feeling that their idol should be the best in the world.
They overlooked the fact that the resources of Jiucuo were all provided by Weicuo Entertainment with all its might.
This act of Jiu Cuo is clearly a case of forgetting the well-digger after drinking the water.
But the fans didn't care about any of that. Since it was their idol who wanted to leave, it must be the company's fault.
Although Su Qianqian's eyes showed shock and disbelief, her facial expression did not change much.
It's like something I didn't understand when I was reading that mindless entertainment novel, but now it all makes perfect sense.
As the female lead, Jiu Cuo was able to reach the position of Best Actress in the original book, and there was a reason why she climbed to the top by stepping on others. She had a strong female lead aura, but because the readers were viewing it from the female lead's perspective, they didn't see anything wrong with it.
Su Qianqian held the microphone, her gaze firm. "Fine, since you want to leave, I won't stop you. Go and have a good talk with the legal department about the contract. After terminating the contract, transfer the penalty to the company's accounting department. If your agent wants to leave with you, I won't stop him. For subsequent resource coordination, go talk to Minister Lu."
The press conference came to an end, and the media outlets, having failed to get the information they wanted, left disappointed.
Su Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
The press conference was held at Su Qianqian's company.
Seeing Su Qianqian get up and leave, Jiang Cuo followed behind her, concealing the fact that his steps were slightly unsteady.
Jiang Cuo followed Su Qianqian to the VIP reception room of Weicuo Entertainment, where she was visiting for the first time.
The twenty-seventh floor was extremely quiet at this moment, with only Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo present.
Wang Sisi waited for her boss in the lobby on the first floor.
Su Qianqian knew that if Jiang Cuo hadn't come today, this press conference definitely wouldn't have been so easy to resolve.
But he couldn't bring himself to say anything conciliatory, so he said, "I still owe President Jiang a dinner invitation, how about today?"
Su Qianqian turned around and saw Jiang Cuo standing behind her with slightly red phoenix eyes, as if they were filled with water, and her whole face was incredibly alluring.
"Let's do it another day, I have things to do today, but can I have a kiss from Su Su as compensation?"
Su Qianqian blinked, not yet knowing how to speak, when Jiang Cuo's cool breath swept over her, lightly kissing her lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Jiang Cuo smiled slightly, in a good mood, "That's fine, Su Su is so nice."
Su Qianqian was momentarily at a loss for words.
Jiang Cuo's smile widened, and his cold phoenix eyes softened. "Su Su, what I did today was entirely voluntary. I didn't do it to coerce Su Su into forgiving me. Su Su said that sincerity begets sincerity. I didn't understand before, but now I just want to stay by Su Su's side and not let Su Su be bullied. Whether Su Su is willing to accept me or not, I will do it willingly."
Su Qianqian paused, as if she could still smell the cool scent left by Jiang Cuo as he leaned down.
This arrogant and conceited fox seemed to have been tamed by her, lowering its noble head and wagging its tail, begging for her favor.
Su Qianqian gave a soft "hmm".
"Well then, Su Su, I'll be going now."
Watching Jiang Cuo's departing figure, Su Qianqian's lips twitched slightly, but she still didn't call out to him.
However, upon arriving on the first floor, Wang Sisi immediately went up to her boss after seeing him.
Open the car door. (The rest of the text appears to be a list of numbers or tags, possibly related to a car or car.)
As Jiang Cuo sat in the car, Wang Sisi immediately took out stomach medicine from her pocket and handed it to him.
Wang Sisi said, "President Jiang, you can't abuse your body like this. For three days, you've been personally watching every bit of the surveillance footage to ensure there are no errors. You already have a stomach problem and a poor appetite; you can't even eat. If you keep pushing yourself like this, your stomach ulcer will flare up, and you'll have to be hospitalized again. Even if you have a wife, you have to be able to take care of her properly, otherwise she'll still belong to someone else."
While getting the medicine, Wang Sisi handed him water. "I told you, but you wouldn't listen to me. If your stomach wasn't hurting, wouldn't you have been able to have dinner with President Su today, and catch up on your old romance? You were afraid President Su would worry, so you rushed off after only a few words. Now you're in such a hurry that you have to go back to the hospital. What if President Su misunderstands and thinks you were unwilling? Then the progress bar will have to go back to the hospital again."
Jiang Cuo could no longer control the expression on his face. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with pain. He clutched his stomach, took the medicine that Wang Sisi handed him, and swallowed it all at once.
Then, through gritted teeth, he squeezed out two words: "Shut up."
A note from the author:
Wang Sisi: On the surface, she is a secretary, but in reality, she is an emotional mentor.
Su Qianqian: Why aren't you playing by the rules?
Jiang Cuo: The will is willing, but the ability is insufficient.

Chapter Eighty
Due to Jiu Cuo's betrayal, Weicuo Entertainment found itself in a situation where it was criticized by many fans.
Weicuo Entertainment was a newly established company that had only been around for a few months. However, Su Qianqian had substantial assets and was skilled in marketing, so it quickly rose to become one of the most popular companies in the entertainment industry. In addition, she vigorously promoted Jiucuo, securing many enviable resources for the company. As a result, many artists wanted to sign with Weicuo Entertainment, but they were still secretly observing the situation.
However, the termination of the contract by Jiu-Cuo has caused many artists who thought that Wei-Cuo Entertainment had a good future to back out.
Suddenly, the entire internet became fickle, turning against Weicuo Entertainment.
Those companies that were originally inferior to Weicuo Entertainment, or those that Weicuo Entertainment had taken away a lot of resources, all began to wish they could use 100 marketing teams to destroy Weicuo Entertainment, so that they could divide up all the big cake that Weicuo Entertainment had created.
Moreover, at the press conference, it was revealed that Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo were high school classmates, and netizens began to dig into their high school past.
High school was too long ago, and the internet wasn't as developed back then, so there's not much to dig up.
Netizens then started digging into the university, discovering that Yun Kong Film and Television's famously slacking-off artist, Hua Kongque, who relies on her stunning looks, is actually from the same university as Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo, and is even the student council president a year ahead of them.
Since the press conference, Weicuo Entertainment has been banned from the internet and has not released any new announcements.
Those media outlets will stop at nothing to generate buzz, even camping out at YunKong Film and Television's doorstep just to catch a glimpse of the Flower-shaped Sparrow.
The flower jay was forced to give interviews to those unscrupulous media outlets.
He simply stated that working overtime was impossible, and he would never work overtime in his life.
YunKong Films treats her so well, it's impossible for her to switch jobs. Of course, if YunKong Films goes bankrupt, that would be a different story.
Hao Duoyu knew that after that idiot Cui Shu signed Hua Kongque to their company, he had been keeping an eye on Hua Kongque.
After all, she knew that Hua Kongque had been in contact with Jiang Cuo and Su Qianqian during her university years, but she found that Hua Kongque was idle all day long and had no ambition at all after joining the company, so she gradually lowered her guard.
These media outlets were deliberately brought in by him to test Hua Kongque. He wanted to know if Hua Kongque would switch sides and help Weicuo Entertainment after appearing on the show.
Is Hua Kongque an undercover agent stealing secrets from their company?
Hua Kongque's words were surprising, but ever since she graduated from university and joined Yunkong Film and Television, she has always maintained this persona: straightforward, beautiful, brainless, a pure pretty face, only interested in slacking off and unwilling to work overtime, and no amount of money is of any use to her. So even when Hua Kongque said things like waiting for Yunkong Film and Television to go bankrupt before switching jobs, it didn't surprise netizens.
...
Weicuo Entertainment.
Su Qianqian sat in her office, looking down at the documents Yu Siyu had brought over.
Lu Rong knocked on the door with the documents in his hand, sounding somewhat anxious. "President Su, Jiu Cuo's manager has decided to leave with Jiu Cuo, and I've also discovered that the fan site manager for Jiu Cuo's fan club has been replaced by Jiu Cuo."
Su Qianqian raised her head, a cold smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with a chilling glint. "It seems that Jiu Cuo has been planning this for a long time, which is why he spoke so decisively at the press conference. Have you investigated and found out who Jiu Cuo's next target is?"
Lu Rong organized the information and placed it on Su Qianqian's desk. "It's Yun Kong Film and Television. Although Jiu Cuo hasn't officially signed a contract with Yun Kong Film and Television yet, our investigation revealed that Jiu Cuo has poached all the resources our company provided and then negotiated with the investors to give them to Yun Kong Film and Television."
Su Qianqian was somewhat surprised that the deer antler had been investigated so thoroughly.
Since Gou-tsou had planned this all along, he must have made many underhanded moves in private. The fact that no one in the company discovered it until the press conference shows that Gou-tsou hid it very well. Logically speaking, it would be impossible for Lu-nong to have investigated this matter so thoroughly in such a short time.
As if he had already understood the doubt in Su Qianqian's eyes, Lu Rong continued, "Some messages were sent to me by Hua Kongque. Although she used an anonymous method, I checked her IP address. However, Hua Kongque was very cautious. After sending the message to me, the IP address was immediately canceled, and it ultimately did not reach the location."
Su Qianqian's puzzled look gradually turned into a gossipy one. She tapped her fingers on the table, making a clicking sound, and rested her chin on her other hand, looking at the deer antlers and making clicking noises.
Su Qianqian said with feigned emotion, "When we first started the company, although Hua Kongque also signed with Yun Kong Film and Television, it's not like I couldn't afford to pay the penalty if Hua Kongque wanted to terminate the contract. But she still didn't come to my company. Now that I think about it, is it because of certain people? After all, Weicuo Entertainment has a rule that you can't date within the company."
For once, Lu Rong's wolf-like eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she couldn't help but click her tongue again when she saw Lu Rong's reaction. Why were these two so slow?
However, after speaking, Su Qianqian also carefully considered why Hua Kongque would pass on a message to their company.
Yan Qinghuan knocked on the door and came in with the documents in her hand.
"Mr. Su, five brands have already issued termination agreements today. What should we do now?"
Yan Qinghuan first showed the information to Lu Rong, and then put it on Su Qianqian's desk, clearly quite angry as well.
"Jiu Cuo is really a jerk. All the brainless fans she cultivated are now turning around and biting us. They're leaving bad reviews on the brands that our company partners with, and they're even reporting us, which is causing those brands a lot of trouble. They have no choice but to terminate their contracts."
Su Qianqian's face, which had just been smiling, instantly turned cold.
Looking at the five termination contracts that Yan Qinghuan brought, she thought of how Jiang Cuo had actually appeared at the press conference yesterday to help her.
Jiang Cuo had just returned to China. Although she was labeled as a newly rich returnee, she knew that she didn't have much money after returning to China, which was why she publicly sold her debut position on the idol group variety show.
I wonder if this will affect the original intention of ginger vinegar entertainment.
Su Qianqian glanced at her phone subconsciously, but there were no messages.
Two days have passed since the press conference, and there has been no news since Jiang Cuo left in such a hurry that day.
Su Qianqian didn't think for long before quickly signing the five termination contracts. "Since they want to terminate the contracts, we can't keep them even if we want to. For other brands that want to terminate their cooperation contracts, they don't need to go through me. Just have Minister Lu sign them directly."
Yan Qinghuan was still somewhat indignant. "Okay, President Su."
After Yan Qinghuan left, Lu Rong pondered, "President Su, our Weicuo Entertainment has been quiet for two days now. Should we start suppressing public opinion now?"
Su Qianqian interlaced her fingers and rested her chin on her hand. "There's no rush. Let those impatient clowns keep jumping around. I, Su Qianqian, have plenty of time and money to waste on them, especially Yun Kong Film and Television."
Yu Siyu knocked on the door again and came in. "President Su, I just received a message from a haute couture dress brand, inviting you to an event."
Su Qianqian raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Weicuo Entertainment is currently in the midst of terminating contracts with brands, yet there are still high-end brands persisting. Moreover, inviting her to participate in an event at this critical juncture shows their boldness.
Su Qianqian: "Send me the time and place. You'll come with me this afternoon."
Yu Siyu nodded and sent the file to Su Qianqian's computer.
When Su Qianqian opened it, she discovered that the main partner of this high-end brand was Never Forget the Original Intention Entertainment.
The haute couture brand provided all the clothing for Jiang Cuo, the president of Never Forget the Original Intention Entertainment, free of charge.
In the afternoon, Su Qianqian arrived at the event of the high-end brand and discovered that Song Yaxing was also there.
"Sister Song, what a coincidence!"
