This man knows how to hype

Chapter 367: Ascendance (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
inside the house.

Xu Xiyu pulled a chair and sat down.

Gulishati, who had changed her clothes, seemed to be still a little frightened. She stood quietly behind Xu Xiyu with her head down, picking her hands unconsciously.

She was a tall girl, about 175cm tall, but now she looked weak and helpless.

Of course, there is more grievance.

I didn't do anything, but I was beaten for no reason. If I hadn't been wearing a sports bra, I might have been stripped naked and had several strangers watching and filming it.

Not only that, but there is also the risk of career collapse. The video of being stripped naked may be spread everywhere.

Grievance, fear, anger, helplessness, all kinds of emotions surged like the tide.

This young girl, who was only 19 years old, finally couldn't help sobbing.

Xu Xiyu, who was sitting on the chair, listened to the sobbing coming from behind her, and said to herself what a sin. Then she took out a pack of napkins from her bag and handed it to the back.

Gulishati looked at the napkin handed to her and wanted to say thank you.

But her throat was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue sighed and walked forward, wanting to pull her to sit next to him.

But she shook her head, her expression stubborn and unwilling to leave. At this moment, she felt that only by standing behind Xu Xiyu could she feel a sense of security.

As for Ma Rongrong, her face was frighteningly pale.

However, under such circumstances, she still stubbornly argued, "Boss Xu, my husband cheated on me and I came to catch him. A little physical conflict is reasonable. How can this be called beating someone for no reason?"

After these words were spoken, Jiang Yue could no longer hold back and was about to curse.

But Xu Xiyu said to Zhang Wenyan beside him without any fluctuation in his tone: "Are you still pretending to be a coward? Is it possible to pretend? Did you teach your wife to be so arrogant?"

As I said, Xu Xiyu doesn't bother to care about Zhang Wenyan's private life.

As long as it doesn't affect the company and the woman is willing, he can do whatever he wants.

But it’s different now. This guy not only affects the company’s projects, but also engages in workplace sexual harassment and uses his status to pressure newcomers.

If this is let go, Huaqing’s customs will really return to the Qin Weiwu period.

At this time, Zhang Wenyan's calves began to cramp because of Xu Xiyu's words.

He understood that his wife had been out of work for too long and had a considerable deviation in her understanding of Xu Xiyu. She had no idea about the difference in status between Xu Xiyu and herself.

Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on her.

Except for those in the circle who have business contacts with Xu Xiyu, the general public, due to preconceived notions, regard Xu Xiyu as an artist.

In other words, in his wife's eyes, Xu Xiyu and himself are in the same circle.

This is a big joke.

I am just an artist and they are the investor. How can we be compared?
To be realistic, if I were not an employee of Huaqing, and if I were in my previous position, let alone Xu Xiyu, even if I wanted to meet his "little brother" Jiang Yue, I would have to beg for help from everyone.

Thinking of this, he rushed over to Ma Rongrong and said anxiously: "Boss Xu is asking you a question, tell me quickly, who told you I was here? Who asked you to catch someone having an affair?"

In the face of fear and being at a disadvantage, some people will become confused, while others will choose to be unreasonable and try to reverse the situation by throwing a tantrum.

Obviously, Ma Rongrong is the latter.

Seeing Zhang Wenyan yelling at her, she immediately raised her voice and said, "What are you yelling about? You dare to come to this little bitch, and you are afraid that people will find out. I tell you, you will either be kicked out of the house or be ruined."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Xiyu burst out laughing.

He felt that Ma Rongrong was a little naive.

It is this innocence that supports her to continue to act recklessly.

In that case, it would be better to break her last fantasy.

So, Xu Xiyu stood up and said while laughing: "Hua Qing spent so much manpower and material resources to shoot "The Beginning". So much money was spent on publicity. It was about to be released, and now these things happened.

Internally, I couldn’t explain to the crew and the company; externally, I couldn’t explain to other investors, including iQiyi, which bought the broadcasting rights.

But don't worry, I won't suffer any loss. I will compensate you for the loss of "The Beginning", Comrade Shidi."

As he spoke, he had already walked behind Zhang Wenyan.

So, he patted Zhang Wenyan on the shoulder.

It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't taken the photo, but once he did, Zhang Wenyan's already weak legs could hardly support his body.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu reached out and grabbed his arm, helped him stand steadily, and also helped him straighten his collar.

Then he smiled at Ma Rongrong and said, "Sister-in-law, after I have paid the compensation, the rest will be yours. Don't worry. If he doesn't have enough money, as a couple, you may have to help make up for it."

After hearing this, Zhang Wenyan, who had just stood up, became a little unsteady again.

Even though "The Beginning" only has 12 episodes, the production cost and publicity cost added up are not low.

Not only that, the failure of "The Beginning" to be broadcast also affected Huaqing's stock price.

Who knows how Xu Xiyu settled the accounts?
Ma Rongrong's face also turned ugly. Damn it, if Xu Xiyu said so, not only would she not get a penny, but she would also have to pay for it?

That's not right.

How is this different from what we agreed?
So, she said anxiously, "Boss Xu, hasn't this been spread yet? If it hasn't been spread, it won't affect the launch of "The Beginning"! There will be no loss!"

"The problem is, I don't intend to let this little girl suffer this. I have to seek justice for my employees. I don't want "The Beginning". I must let the netizens take a good look at your heroic deeds."

"Boss Xu, Boss Xu! This…this, this, this…this is unnecessary. You must not be impulsive. You just said that The Beginning is the result of the hard work of many people. This…this, this, this…don't you agree?!"

Zhang Wenyan has become a little out of control.

As for Gulishati who was standing next to him, after hearing what Xu Xiyu had just said.

Inexplicably, I recalled what Zhang Wenyan had said to me before: "I am a first-line artist, and I don't know how many women are willing to throw themselves at me.

Now I've humbled myself to pursue you, said all the nice things, and done all the practical things, but you're still putting on airs. Do you think President Xu will stand on your side? He will only think that you are ignorant!"

These words formed a sharp contrast with Xu Xiyu's behavior at this time.

This contrast made Gulixiati feel both self-deprecating and happy.

I was wrong, so wrong.

Why did I believe Zhang Wenyan’s words at that time?
For someone like Mr. Xu, what does being an Oscar winner mean?
Is it because Zhang Wenyan is so outstanding that he won the Best Actor award?
No, it’s because Mr. Xu is excellent!
If that's the case, how could he stand on Zhang Wenyan's side regardless of who is right or wrong just because Zhang Wenyan is the TV King and he is a newcomer?
Thinking of this, Gulixiati's eyes seemed to be fixed on Xu Xiyu, and she could no longer see anyone else.

Xu Xiyu naturally didn't know what this girl was thinking. He just said that to Gulixiati, but also to Jiang Yue and all the employees of Huaqing.

At the same time, in a club in the capital, seven people, five men and two women, were having a party.

If Xu Xiyu were here, he would definitely be able to recognize two of them.

One of the men is Pan Qizhong, the vice president of Huaqing Artist Department, who is also Jiang Yue's deputy.

The other man was Liu Dazhou, the vice president of Huaqing Film and Television Investment Department and Qiao Shuangshuang's deputy. As for the other three men and two women, they were all unfamiliar faces.

"Just received news that your Mr. Xu has already rushed over." A man wearing glasses said.

"What do you think he will do?"

“What else can we do? We should calm them down first and wait until ‘The Beginning’ is over, and then we can think of a way to deal with it slowly.” A woman said.

"I don't think so. Given his personality, he won't let the show go online without eliminating all the risks. He must be trying to force the traitor out of Ma Rongrong now."

"You're really good at forcing the traitor into your company. That's something your General Manager Xu would do, hahahahahaha."

"No, no, no, I think he will still air 'The Beginning' first. After all, for him, this drama is not just about financial losses, but also other hidden assets."

"Hidden assets? What hidden assets?" a woman asked curiously.

"Take reputation for example. If word of Zhang Wenyan's incident gets out, you can easily imagine that someone will seize on it and spread it to all the artists in Huaqing. So, he has to pretend that nothing happened."

"But the problem is, today's audiences know very well what the entertainment industry is like. Even if someone catches them slandering it, it won't be a big deal." The woman did not agree with this view.

"No, Zhang Wenyan is really different. Firstly, he is now considered the top male artist in Huaqing; secondly, he has a good reputation in front of the audience.

I think even Xu Xiyu couldn't have imagined that he would do this, let alone the audience? In other words, if Zhang Wenyan revealed this kind of gossip, it would shock the audience greatly.

The damage to the collective reputation of Huaqing artists is also quite large. The audience must be thinking, even Zhang Wenyan is like this, how can others be better? "The man said with a smile.

After saying that, without waiting for the woman to answer, he continued: "This is not over yet, this melon will directly break some of Xu Xiyu's hidden buffs.

Now the audience generally believes that Xu Xiyu has a good eye for actors, and this is a Buff. Don't underestimate this Buff, if this Buff can be solid.

This means that Xu Xiyu is much easier to promote than others. The artists selected by him will have an aura of "Yu Girl" or "Yu Xiaosheng".

Now it is impossible, because the buff has been broken by Zhang Wenyan. I think Xu Xiyu must be so angry that he wants to kill someone. "

"Hahahahahahahaha." As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of laughter immediately rang out in the box.

Laughing, Pan Qizhong, Vice President of Huaqin Artist Department, said: "Jiang Yue is fully responsible for this matter. The company's top man sexually harassed the female newcomer who was being trained by the company.

As the head of the artist department, she didn't even know how to sit in this position? She should have stepped down long ago. "

"Look, look, the true thoughts are revealed, hahahaha." As soon as he finished speaking, a woman covered her mouth and laughed.

"Don't worry. If your company's artists run into problems one after another this time, your CEO Xu will definitely fire Jiang Yue. As the vice president of the artist department, you are the only one who can take over and turn the tide."

"I should have been the one to take over. What else does Jiang Yue have to do besides being loyal to him? If she was Xu Xiyu's lover, I wouldn't have counted on it. Unfortunately, she's not.

Huaqing is now thriving and needs talents. How can we let such a person stay in a key position? It will only affect the performance." Pan Qizhong said disdainfully.

"Hahahahahaha." Another burst of laughter came.

Then, the man who spoke first suddenly said to Liu Dazhou, who had been silent the whole time, "Old Liu, don't you want to fight for Qiao Shuangshuang's position?"

"Qiao Shuangshuang?" Liu Dazhou was startled when he heard this, then he sighed and shook his head and said, "This woman is different from Jiang Yue."
