Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Direct Termination

“No need.”

Pang Kai, “Okay.”

He said that the CEO initially wanted to release Cheng Jingshu’s negative news certainly as a warning to her, to not create internal strife at Star Entertainment, and not to help Ye Xian. Now that Cheng Jingshu was in the eye of the storm, she definitely needed to be protected…

Bo Tingshen, “Release the termination statement directly.”

What?!

Pang Kai was so startled that his jaw almost dropped.

When Ye Xian was anxiously fretting, two keywords suddenly appeared at the top of the trending searches, hanging high on the list clearly bought with money.

The first was Xiangfei Video’s statement, the second was Starlight Entertainment’s statement.

As expected, the company had intervened.

Ye Xian swallowed hard and braced herself to click on them.

But suddenly, Jiang Wen’s call came through.

“Ye Xian! What on earth have you done?!”

“I… didn’t want to take things this far, but Cheng Jingshu bullied my fans, and I couldn’t just stand by.”

Jiang Wen, “Right, no one could stand by! You did nothing wrong, fabulous!”

Listening to his sarcastic tone, Ye Xian spoke in a somewhat disheartened voice, “I know it was too impulsive of me not to discuss it with you beforehand. Are you here to ‘sentence’ me? What punishment has the company decided for me? Just tell me. It can’t be another ban, can it?”

“Ye Xian, even now you’re still pretending?” Jiang Wen suddenly burst into laughter, then after finishing, he mysteriously leaned into the mic, “Do you trust Brother Wen’s integrity? If you do, tell me, what exactly is the relationship between your mysterious backer and our CEO?”

“Backer and CEO?”

Ye Xian was full of question marks, what was this all about?

“Otherwise, what else would make Star Entertainment give up on Cheng Jingshu and protect you apart from a vested interest?”

“???”

Star Entertainment gave up on Cheng Jingshu to protect her?! How could that be possible?

Ye Xian was dumbfounded and quickly clicked on the two trending items on Weibo.

Xiangfei Video had exposed the dark secrets behind this year’s Rotten Sour Plum Award, and the perpetrator was none other than Cheng Jingshu. To frame her, Cheng Jingshu maliciously colluded with executive Fei Yongquan to reissue the Rotten Sour Plum Award.

At the same time, Starlight Entertainment had released a termination announcement with Cheng Jingshu.

Ye Xian felt as if she were dreaming, unbelievably wiping her eyes.

Jiang Wen, “I heard this command came directly from the top echelons of the company, bypassing even the board of directors. Apart from the CEO, no one else has such authority!”

Jiang Wen was adamant that it was the power of her mysterious backer. Ye Xian also started to suspect that it might be Ye Shaowen helping her.

But what would Shaowen have to give up to make Star Entertainment abandon Cheng Jingshu?

You have to understand, Cheng Jingshu was not only a star with a higher status and commercial value than her, but she was also slated to become the next matriarch of the Bo Family! Would the CEO, who is wild about indulging his brother, treat his future sister-in-law this way?

Shaowen… didn’t sell off Zero Degree, did he?

Ye Xian immediately called Ye Shaowen in a panic, only to learn… that Ye Shaowen was singing karaoke with partners at Duke’s KTV, totally unaware of what had happened.

Ye Xian was even more confused. So, Star Entertainment terminating the contract with Cheng Jingshu and Xiangfei Video openly supporting her, had nothing to do with anyone else, it was solely the CEO’s decision?

Why though?

Not only was Ye Xian puzzled, but Pang Kai was also full of doubts.

Originally, due to the issue with the abuse video, the internet had already started a large-scale shift from fan to hater against Cheng Jingshu, condemning her. Now that Star Entertainment publicly terminated the contract with her and also exposed the scandal of the Rotten Sour Plum Award, it was like a heavy punch, thoroughly knocking her to the bottom. Even with her vast capabilities, Cheng Jingshu would not be able to turn things around again.
