Chapter 655: Chapter 655

Just as He Jinxia decided to scratch the idea, Sheng Yan’s voice suddenly came through—

"You want to deal with Zhang Yingru, planning to drive her to a rival company, let them plagiarize Tonghua’s creativity, and fight over variety shows together during the summer vacation?"

He Jinxia was stunned, "Is my idea that obvious?"

Sheng Yan said indifferently, "In the entire entertainment circle, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know about your feud with JY. Since last year, when Meng Wan retired, you publicly supported Meng Wan against the other members of JY, and that’s when people got to know your stance.

This time, with Wen Ningning retiring, someone released words that seemed to be your statement, making it even more certain for others."

"The decline of JY is inevitable. Zhang Yingru is very clear about this, so she’s looking for a way out. Once JY disperses, none of the other members will be an issue, only Zhang Yingru will be the biggest challenge for you. To defeat her, it’s going to be difficult."

A bitter smile crossed He Jinxia’s face, "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from you."

Sheng Yan said calmly, "Jinxia, I understand you better than anyone else."

His voice was as cold as ever, but He Jinxia could feel a strong warmth from it, a warmth of tolerance unique to Mr. Sheng.

She rubbed the pillow and hummed softly, her voice subdued as if she were coquettish.

Sheng Yan was silent for a while, then spoke hoarsely, "Don’t tempt me, I haven’t seen you for a long time."

He Jinxia: "...I’ve only been on the set for less than a week."

Sheng Yan chuckled softly, "Once you’ve had a taste, you can’t forget. I’ve missed you a lot."

To speak of yearning in such a fresh and elegant manner, Mr. Sheng is really something.

Fearing He Jinxia would be too shy to continue the call, Sheng Yan asked again, "What’s your plan to deal with her?"

With his interruption, He Jinxia’s mind was free of other complicated thoughts, and she blurted out her ideas.

"Just like you guessed, as long as she stays at the company, I won’t be able to do anything about her. Unless I drive her away, I’m thinking of contacting other companies and asking them to lure Zhang Yingru away with a high salary."

"If she decides to stay, then for now I’ll let her be. After all, she is also truly dedicated to Tonghua Entertainment."

"If she chooses to leave, then I will suppress her without any hesitation, without any concerns."

"Once Zhang Yingru leaves, the company’s projects might also be at risk. Reality shows are a big piece of the pie that everyone wants a slice of, and the greatest value of Zhang Yingru is her role in these reality shows."

Zhang Yingru has now become one of the planners of that reality show and knows the program inside out. As long as she jumps ship, rival companies can easily clone a similar show.

In recent years, reality shows in Huaxia have been very popular, and everyone has a lot of experience in producing them; there won’t be any problems.

The biggest issue now is the lack of creativity. As long as there’s a new idea, it will surely lead to a trend online and earn a hefty profit.

Listening to He Jinxia’s slightly excited voice on the phone, Sheng Yan asked back, "You seem to be looking forward to her leaving?"

He Jinxia curled her lips, "No, I’m just more looking forward to seeing Zhang Yingru’s downfall. Do you think this makes me bad?"

Sheng Yan: "I like you even more now, what should I do?"

Suddenly felt that there’s just no! way! to! chat! today!

Talking about how a cold person becomes a master of love talk, how a repressed person turns overtly flirty, and how to emerge as a Casanova within three months... just watch how the grand boss Sheng himself explains his learning experience, a short romantic phrase each day to keep the novelty alive, make her fall for you non-stop~~~

Just when He Jinxia really couldn’t help but want to hang up, Sheng Yan caught her just in time and said, "Your idea is good, don’t hold back. Deal with her however you want, as the formidable company CEO, I won’t let my woman be wronged."

He Jinxia: "Speak human language, please [smiley face]."

Sheng Yan complied willingly: "Since Zhang Yingru is already seeking opportunities to leave, you needn’t be concerned."

He Jinxia was stunned, truly taken aback this time, and hurriedly asked:

"She’s looking for an opportunity to leave on her own? Didn’t she just take over that girl group reality show?"

Sheng Yan said indifferently: "Everyone in the circle knows that you and JY don’t get along. As JY’s agent, Zhang Yingru needs to understand the internal dynamics of the company more than other stars and is more aware of the conflict between you two. You’ve already shown your dissatisfaction; do you think she dares to continue mixing in the company?"

Sheng Yan said indifferently: "You thought the company would protect her, just because she’s considered talented?"

"No, Jinxia, Tonghua Entertainment isn’t as noble as you think. Internal strife always exists, and many talented individuals are driven out every year, all because they chose the wrong side to support."

"You’re not famous enough yet. Later, when you become more and more popular, it will be time for Tonghua Entertainment to make a choice. Right now, they’re willing to keep Zhang Yingru because you’re not important enough for them to discard someone for."

"Once you’re top-tier, I guarantee that the first person Tonghua Entertainment will fire is Zhang Yingru. Every top star is worth the entertainment company’s effort to please."

"Zhang Yingru has also seen this clearly, which is why she’s willing to take the initiative to take over this program, to accumulate capital and find a way out for herself. You don’t need to do anything; in a few days, you’ll see the related news."

He Jinxia couldn’t help but smile wryly. So after all this, she didn’t need to do anything, and just wait for things to unfold?

Thinking of something, she knitted her brows: "Are you sure you want to let her go, after she has been in contact with so many of the company’s secrets?" Newest update provıded by Nove1Fire.net

Sheng Yan: "If she wants to leave we can’t keep her, if she wants to stay she can’t leave. We won’t force her to stay if she wants to leave, but Tonghua Entertainment isn’t so easy to just walk out of. If she wants to steal our creative ideas to somewhere else, she’ll have to face our wrath. Besides—"

He paused, his words pregnant with meaning: "Can she be sure that what she has seen is the core of the program?"

Sheng Yan confidently stated: "For each program within Tonghua Entertainment that is poised to explode in popularity, the selection process is multi-layered, and must be undertaken by those loyal to the company.

Everyone involved from the inception of the creative idea has signed a confidentiality agreement. Any breach will have repercussions that they cannot afford, and it’s impossible to insert someone in halfway through."

He Jinxia, being a smart person, got the point immediately. So Zhang Yingru being able to get involved halfway was a trap set by the higher-ups of Tonghua Entertainment?

She couldn’t help curling her lips, but the next second her frown returned: "Why would the company go to the trouble of making a roundabout plan to trap Zhang Yingru? It would have been easier for the company not to accept Zhang Yingru into the project, and avoid all this trouble."

Sheng Yan: "Tonghua Entertainment is large, and while employees may start loyal, who can tell if they haven’t been bought by someone else?"

"So the company carries out a few spy-catching operations every year, to test whether those employees are spies from other companies. They weren’t specifically trying to trap Zhang Yingru, but rather, Zhang Yingru eagerly walked into the trap set by others."
