577 Chapter 577: the final battle!
Perhaps it had been too many years, but everyone had already gotten used to everything Xia Chaoqun had done, including Tao cen, who she had helped to rise to power in the past. Everyone thought that it was only natural for Xia Chaoqun to do his best and that the hard work she had put in for this was also justified. Otherwise, why would she have been called the number one gold manager of the century in the Galaxy? why would she have been able to work with a female star like Tao cen and get Luo Yin to use his shares to keep her?
Everyone felt that it was normal for her to put in so much effort behind the scenes. Even Xia Chaoqun himself felt that he was already used to it.
However, Xia Chaoqun realized that Jiang SE’s gratitude today meant a lot to him.
Zhang Chi sent her home. He had thought that after tonight’s incident, his boss would be in a trance and would not work anymore.
He was secretly thinking that he might be able to finish work early tonight and go home. Who knew that just as he parked the car and opened the car door for Xia Chaoqun, he would see his boss, who had been in a daze earlier, now return to his usual shrewd and capable appearance. When he got out of the car, he even instructed him to take the documents out of the car.
“Ah?”
He couldn’t hold it in. A crack appeared in the professional and calm image that he had developed after following Xia Chaoqun for so many years.
“Sister Xia, do you still need to work?”
Xia Chaoqun’s gaze showed that he had said something unnecessary. there’s a lot of work to do tonight. Other than communicating with the media, it’s best if we can get hold of the news tomorrow and see if it’s disadvantageous to Sese. We also need to prepare some information that will be useful for the meeting when we return to the company tomorrow!
If what she said was true, Zhang Chi felt that he wouldn’t even need to sleep tonight.
Xia Chaoqun’s dazed expression was gone. He seemed to be filled with energy. Jiang SE’s words did not stop her. Instead, it made her walk even faster.
Tonight might be a sleepless night for many people.
Other than Xia Chaoqun, who was busy with work, many News and Media personnel were working hard for tomorrow’s news headlines. Many people were talking about the charity dinner tonight organized by “the grace of the times” with great relish.
Whether it was the argument between Jiang se and Tao cen at the dinner party or the fact that Jiang se had given Tao cen the manuscript that she had bought for five million after she had finished playing the song, all of these were gossip worthy of further discussion.
Tao cen could not fall asleep either. She had been in the underworld for many years and had a good image. After she became famous, many people fawned over her whenever they saw her. The company also supported her greatly. It had been a long time since she had suffered such a big loss like tonight.
After the interview with the media, he contacted Steinway’s CapMan and made a request to buy the piano that Jiang se was playing tonight. It was almost three O ‘clock when he got home after bribing the media.
Her assistant and Song Yi followed her into the house. She changed out of her shoes. When the female assistant took out her slippers, she realized that Tao cen’s feet were already bruised in several places. The blisters had burst and were bleeding. It was a terrible sight.
Tonight, she was wearing the brand new shoes that she endorsed. The thin high heels were as long as 12 centimeters. She had been standing in them for a few hours, and it was worn out. It was definitely not a newly formed wound, but she held on and did not say a word.
After she took off her shoes, her expression was normal, and no one could tell that she was in pain.
Her assistant helped her put on her slippers while listening to her order Song Yi.
keep a close eye on the media tonight and try to get their drafts. Also, help me make an appointment with CapMan tomorrow. We must get that piano from him tonight.
Jiang se had given her such a ” big gift “. If she did not express her gratitude, she would probably be drowned in the saliva of many of Jiang SE’s fans.
For Tao cen, he had suffered a great loss tonight.
The piano that Steinway’s family used as a display was the only one in the world. It was a handmade piece that could not be replicated. Needless to say, it was extremely expensive.
Most importantly, after Tao cen had suggested purchasing the piano from Chapman, the latter had rejected her without hesitation.
If she wanted to get this piano, it wasn’t just a matter of money. She might also have to spend some of the favors she had saved up in the past, which was the most important thing.
As he thought of this, Tao cen’s heart burned with anger.
When she sat on the sofa, Song Yi was still carefully looking at her expression.
The assistant brought her a cup of hot tea. She held the cup and closed her eyes to rest. She didn’t look at Song Yi and seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to say.
“What do you want to ask?”
“Sister Tao, President Luo called tonight and said that Mr. Luo is very unhappy.”
Tao cen opened her eyes when she heard this. At this moment, she hid all her fatigue and anxiety under her well-maintained face.
It was already past three in the morning. Tao cen should be very tired after experiencing so many things today, but she still persevered and was cleaning up the mess she had caused.
“Rohault called?”
She noticed this and Song Yi nodded. Seeing her put down the cup, he couldn’t help but sneer, ”
Mr. Luo is really unhappy. Even the one who called to inform us was Roo!
Before he competed with Jiang se, Tao cen had actually guessed that his actions would enrage Luo Yin. However, two tigers could not share the same mountain.
When Jiang SE’s fame and status were gradually increasing, there were only so many endorsements and movie resources. With so many people trying to outdo her, she could not let go.
The company had made it clear that they were going to support Jiang se heavily. If she did not fight for it, she might be replaced in the future. Would she still have a place in the entertainment industry in a few years ‘time?
She knew that Luo Yin would not be happy. However, she had also thought about it. Once Jiang se was suppressed, the company would ignore her for a while no matter how unhappy they were with her actions. However, she would have one less competitor. She was still Tao cen.
She had works, a fan base, acting skills, and connections, so she didn’t have to worry about anything.
But now that her plan had failed and she had angered the company, Luo Yin didn’t even call her personally anymore. Was this proof that she was already on the verge of being abandoned by the company?
however, I heard that Jiang SE’s company has also punished her.
Song Yi saw her expression and quickly comforted her,
Zhou Sheng called me to tell me that Mr. Luo called Xia Chaoqun and has already decided on Jiang SE’s punishment.
His words didn’t make Tao cen happy. The assistants in the room didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. Song Yi bit the bullet and said, ”
“This proves that Mr. Luo also values your Kasaya very much.”
As a Special Assistant, Zhou Sheng could get some information from Luo Yin. However, if Luo Yin didn’t want to tell him, he would not know about it.
If Mr. Luo had not intentionally revealed the results of Jiang SE’s case, he would not have informed Tao cen so quickly.
This only proved that although Luo Yin had expressed his dissatisfaction with Tao cen and that she had taken the initiative to stir up trouble, he had let Luo ao make the call as a small warning. At the same time, he had also used Zhou Sheng’s mouth to tell Tao cen that Jiang se had also been punished. This was also a way to appease Tao cen.
However, on the other hand, Tao cen’s call was made by Luo ao. On the other hand, although Jiang se had been punished, it was Luo Yin who had called her personally. It was clear who was more serious.
“Valued? No. Tao cen shook his head and suppressed his feelings. this only proves that Mr. Luo values Jiang se more.
As he placed great importance on her future development, he could not tolerate any flaws on her. Whether it was her reputation or negative news, Mr. Luo had personally asked about it.
Song Yi didn’t understand. Tao cen glanced at him and said,
“The deeper the love, the more the blame will be. Don’t you understand?”
When she said this, Song Yi understood.
however, Zhou Sheng said that Mr. Luo’s decision is to suspend all of Jiang SE’s activities, apart from the movie ‘destiny’ and the sports car advertisement for Elysees. He also said that she has to take on the role of the female supporting character ‘Zhong Qi’ in Huo Zhiming’s ‘suspect’ as a form of compensation for her ‘mistake’ tonight.
In Song Yi’s opinion, the company’s decision was biased toward Tao cen, and it was not just because they loved Jiang se.
Although the person who called Tao cen was Luo ao, he only gave him a ‘warning’ and didn’t actually punish him. Song Yi felt that this was more like the company’s protection of Tao cen.
Tao cen rubbed her forehead. A lot had happened tonight and her heart was still in a mess. She also had a manager who needed her guidance.
At this time, she suddenly began to miss Xia Chaoqun. She had known Xia Chaoqun for many years and had worked with him happily. No matter how troublesome the matter was, Xia Chaoqun would always be able to cut through it quickly and easily.
At that time, she only needed to concentrate on acting, manage her image, and maintain her relationship with the brand manager. She had never felt so troubled by trivial matters.
Xia Chaoqun was in charge of all the company’s Affairs, and he was also in charge of external media relations. Compared to that time, she really felt much more relaxed.
It was a pity that Xia Chaoqun had chosen to let go of her all of a sudden, and she had not tried to make him stay.
In Tao cen’s eyes back then, Xia Chaoqun had given up on her to choose a new artiste. To her, this was an act that was damaging to her reputation and pride. She felt that Xia Chaoqun’s choice back then was too rash, and she had disdained to lower herself and beg him.
Now that Tao cen thought back to the past, he wondered if he had not been so arrogant back then and had asked Xia Chaoqun to stay. If that had happened, the situation today would have been completely different.
However, now that this thought had appeared in her mind, she realized that she had wanted to make Xia Chaoqun stay. However, even after so many years, they were still not friends. Even if she wanted to make her stay, she did not know what excuse she could use.
I’ll deal with the media first. Then, help me arrange a meal with Mr. Chapman’s assistant. As for the company’s request for her to film “suspect” with Jiang se, Tao cen narrowed her eyes. This was a good opportunity for her to “work together” with Jiang se. She had to get back at them in the movie for the loss she had suffered tonight.
Since these methods couldn’t make her lose out, then he would use the movie to ‘teach her how to be a human’ and let the company and the movie fans see who was the best!
“Alright,” he said. Song Yi nodded and watched Tao cen quickly pull herself together. Her decadence only stayed in her eyes for a few seconds before she became an ambitious woman again.
“This matter isn’t without its benefits.”
On the bright side, at least Tao cen had managed to get on Chapman’s good side through tonight’s incident. It was not easy to keep in touch with him in the past.
After all, Steinway had never been in contact with people from the entertainment industry and was closer to the arts. Tao cen had needed to put in a lot of effort in the past to be able to take this opportunity to maintain a friendly relationship with Steinway. Now, the opportunity and excuse were right in front of Tao cen. If he could take this opportunity to secure a project related to Steinway, Tao cen’s status would be higher than it was now.
The face that he had lost tonight was nothing compared to this opportunity.
People would always remember the winner and only her future achievements. Not many people would always stare at her embarrassing incident tonight.
Tao cen had been in the industry for many years, so he quickly figured out this problem.
The next day, the headlines of all the major Chinese media outlets were about Jiang se and Tao cen’s dispute over the musical score at the charity banquet the night before.
But because of Tao cen’s timely public relations, the major media outlets ‘words were much better.
While Jiang se was having her breakfast, mo Anqi opened the news link on her tablet and showed her. what ‘sisterly love’? Jiang se spent five million Yuan to buy Amadeus’s manuscript and gave it to Tao cen to break the rumors? these media reporters really dare to write anything. They write it as if it’s real!
Mo Anqi had already expected this outcome. Fortunately, although the news was particularly lenient toward Tao cen, it was not negative for Jiang se. Hence, she held back her complaints.
Jiang se scrolled through a few news articles. They were all similar. However, when she saw the entertainment website of Huaxia information, her eyes froze.
There was no other reason. The content of the entertainment headlines of Huaxia information had changed!
A minute ago, Jiang se was very certain that the headlines of Hua Xia information were about her buying the musical score and sending it to Tao cen. However, after she refreshed the page, the news had changed to a completely different headline from the previous one,’sisterly love broken up and discord’. Jiang se and Tao cen began to show signs of a dispute.
who’s ‘breaking up with her sisterly bond’? what’s with’ throwing five million just to bid for a manuscript and send a soulmate’? huh, this news is ridiculous. mo Anqi was still grumbling when she noticed Jiang se refreshing the webpage. Her sharp eyes caught the latest news from China Info on her tablet.
This news should have been released at the last minute. Before this, the headlines of Huaxia information were all nonsense like the other media headlines.
Jiang se clicked on it and read the content of the report.
During the charity dinner organized by ” the grace of the times, ” Jiang se had a friendly chat with the Regional General Manager of Elysees. She was interested in a new round of collaboration with Elysees!
Jiang se could already imagine the number of netizens who were there to watch the show and the waves that would be stirred up from this reading guide alone.
In the eyes of many Chinese people over the past few years, Tao cen was supposed to be the exclusive spokesperson for the brand Elysees. If Jiang se really wanted to work with Elysees, it would be like touching Tao cen’s cake. The rumor of her and Tao cen’s ” sisterly relationship ” would naturally be dispelled on its own. It was no wonder the news headline of Huaxia Information Network would say ” beginning of conflict “.
