Chapter 283 - 283: Worshipping Koi Fish, Mysterious Supporting Guests (2)
Translator: _Min
“Yes, yes, yes,” the PR manager promptly went into action.
In the midst of the comments praising Si Fuqing as a koi fish, discordant voices surfaced.
[Fine, you say Si Fuqing is a koi fish, but I call her a harbinger of doom. How many NT Cosmetics online employees will lose their jobs with this withdrawal? Has anyone thought about that? She only thinks about herself.]
[Right, Si Fuqing is a star, she doesn’t worry about livelihood, but what about ordinary people who lose their jobs?]
The PR manager, having relaxed slightly, prepared to shut down his computer for some rest.
But before he could fully unwind, an internal employee finally spoke up, dispelling the rumors.
[As an internal employee, I was so eager to speak, so I’ll be straightforward. I
didn’t just keep my job; I even joined RM as a salesperson.
My boss was promoted to deputy manager of RM’s flagship store in Sijiu, and got a pay raise too. Stop spreading rumors, thanks.]
[Wait a minute! RM? Rosalind Moon??]
[Jumping from a small brand like NT to RM... I’m speechless.]
[There must be a powerful figure behind this! NT, such a disrespectful brand, deserves to be ousted!]
[Avvw, this influential person is so considerate, even thinking about these aspects. ]
More employees voiced their experiences, each finding employment in other companies, which they found peculiar yet fortunate.
They had feared unemployment when the sudden closure notice came, but instead of the dreaded outcome, they were presented with better job opportunities, which they knew to cherish.
The PR manager, realizing that the tide of public opinion was irrevocably turned against them, wiped his face, not daring to inform Manager Luo, and resolved to delegate any future matters related to Si Fuqing to others. The situation was beyond his handling.
Meanwhile, in a villa’s study, Yu Xiheng reclined in a soft chair, impeccably dressed in a white suit shirt and tie.
Holding his phone in one hand, his expression was composed.
“Mr. Yu, all NT employees in Great Xia have been repositioned,” came a respectful voice from the other end. “Do you need anything else?”
“Keep a close watch,” Yu Xiheng instructed coolly. “Anyone found slacking off in these three days should be fired immediately.”
“Understood, absolutely,” the voice affirmed. “We won’t disappoint you, Mr. Yu.
We’ll provide the necessary support and enforce penalties where due.”
After the call ended, it was nearly midnight, and the outside world was silent.
Yu Xiheng raised his hand, hesitated, then decided against having coffee.
He sighed lightly, put the documents aside, and went to his bedroom to rest.
The producer was speechless.
He hadn’t anticipated Si Fuqing would force Ming Wenxian to voluntarily withdraw from the performance by confronting her head-on.
Indeed, it was a strategy.
But Ming Wenxian was not someone to be trifled with!
The director, still in a daze, instructed the staff to post the announcement on Weibo, worriedly saying, “Ms. Si, won’t this offend Ming Wenxian’s side? If you...”
“I can’t just stand by while my students’ reputations are at stake,” Si Fuqing replied indifferently. “You handle your news. Remember to manage the young audience at the performance tomorrow.” The director was taken aback.
What did this have to do with young people?
He racked his brains but couldn’t figure out who Si Fuqing had invited as the special guest, someone who could excite the younger audience.
The producer hesitated. “Ms. Si, if Ming Wenxian goes back and says the show kicked her out, then...”
“She won’t say it,” Si Fuqing smiled. “If she has any sense, she knows it won’t do her any good to say so. Of course, she’s always been shameless, but does she think Xie Yu’s fans are all talk?”
The producer recalled the fervor of Xie Yu’s fans towards the program and immediately shut up.
That was not something anyone could withstand.
“As for what happens next, I’ll handle it,” Si Fuqing waved lazily. “Let’s go. We’ll come back tonight, and watch the performance tomorrow.”
The director and producer nodded, feeling much more relieved.
Online, the fans were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the guest performers, constantly refreshing their Weibo feeds.
[@YouthWithYou: Welcome @BieYunxi to assist the Lu Yan group!]
[Whoa, Bie Yunxi!!!]
[Isn’t this Bie Yunxi’s first reality show appearance after ‘Traffic Romance’?
Can’t wait to see her!]
[Bie Yunxi’s going to perform? I’m definitely watching! ‘Youth With You’ is going to get a ratings boost!]
[What about Xie Yu’s group???]
There were 36 trainees, divided into six groups.
The show was posting announcements one by one, but Xie Yu’s group hadn’t been mentioned yet.
Given Xie Yu’s ranking, he should have been first.
Just as the fans were growing impatient, the show finally posted the sixth announcement.
They clicked on it to find no pictures, just six words.
