Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.
Chapter 261 It's time to calculate!
A short while later, Jiang Chen returned to his office alone.
He took out his phone and swiped his finger across the name "Starry Sky Entertainment - Li Xue" in his contacts.
Since terminating his contract with Starry Sky Entertainment, he has not taken the initiative to contact this agent.
But Jiang Chen knew one thing.
In addition to her own business, Li Xue was also responsible for Han Zihe's daily business affairs.
You could say that she was the person Han Zihe had the most contact with on a daily basis.
She couldn't possibly be unaware of Han Zihe's situation.
Jiang Chen's hand paused on Li Xue's name for two seconds before dialing.
The phone rang several times before it was finally answered.
A moment later, a voice came from the other end.
Li Xue's voice carried a hint of deliberate politeness, but also a touch of surprise.
"Hey, Attorney Jiang? What brings you here?"
"I thought you'd deleted me from your contacts long ago after you changed careers!"
His words were full of sarcasm.
But Jiang Chen's career has been quite successful since he changed careers.
Even if she feels uncomfortable, she can't show it.
"I won't beat around the bush," Jiang Chen said directly and calmly.
"What exactly happened with Han Zihe?"
Upon hearing this, the voice on the other end of the phone immediately stopped.
Li Xue paused noticeably for a moment, then chuckled, deliberately feigning a relaxed and nonchalant tone: "Zihe? Hey, what else could it be? Didn't the news report it? Long-term depression, young people are under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't think straight."
"The company was quite surprised too. How did such a good kid end up in such a dead end!"
She spoke tactfully, but her tone trailed off, making it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that she was being evasive.
Jiang Chen tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his tone slightly somber: "Depression?"
"He was on my live stream just over a month ago, saying that he couldn't agree on the revenue sharing with the company, and that he was running around non-stop every day, only to receive tens of thousands of yuan for a million-yuan commercial performance."
"How long has it been, and it's already become chronic depression?"
Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone for half a second.
When she spoke again, Li Xue's tone was more businesslike and stiff, with a hint of warning.
"Jiang Chen, you can't just say things like that."
"He signed all the brokerage contracts himself, and the profit-sharing ratio was agreed upon when he entered the industry. The company provides him with resources and publicity, and taking a cut is also an industry practice."
"He can't manage his own emotions, so how can he blame the company?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sneered.
Is it because you can't regulate your emotions?
If the company does a good job, how could he be in a bad mood?
Even more so...
Even this drunken fall might have a hidden secret!
"This matter is about his personal situation, and the police have already made a preliminary assessment."
"Don't get involved, it won't do you any good!"
Li Xue gave a perfunctory reply.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to press for more information, Li Xue had already prepared an excuse.
"Alright, I have a ton of things to do here, I'm busy."
"Let the deceased rest in peace."
"beep--"
The call was abruptly disconnected, leaving only a short busy tone.
Anyone with eyes could see that Li Xue seemed to be hiding something.
Jiang Chen listened to the busy tone on the receiver, slowly put down his phone, and his eyes darkened.
They dodge the issue, give perfunctory answers, rush to draw conclusions, and even deliberately warn themselves not to get involved.
Li Xue has been an agent for so many years, she's seen it all.
If it were just a simple case of an artist falling from a building due to depression, she wouldn't be so nervous, much less rush to hang up the phone.
There's definitely more to this than meets the eye!
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and sneered.
"Perfect timing... I was originally planning to deal with you guys later, but since we've run into Zihe's matter, let's settle old scores!"
Jiang Chen then immediately set up the equipment, and the daily legal education live broadcast started on time.
As soon as the camera turned on, netizens rushed into the live stream.
However, the topic they discussed was not legal education.
Instead, it was the case of Han Zihe falling from a building that topped the trending search list!
[Attorney Jiang! Did you see the news about Han Zihe yesterday? Oh my god, I was watching his live performance on repeat yesterday!]
[It's such a pity she's only 22... I knew the management company was full of bad people, she's definitely being exploited too much.]
Is it really depression? I feel something's off; I saw him doing a commercial performance out of town just three days ago!
[Attorney Jiang, do you know the inside story? Tell us!]
If there's more to this story, then he was framed!
Jiang Chen stared at the scrolling comments and remained silent for two seconds before speaking.
His voice was lower than usual, with a hint of melancholy.
"Everyone, today we won't talk about legal knowledge. I want to tell you something."
"Starting today, apart from the cases related to the Pei Group that have already been accepted and Zhou Min's labor arbitration case, we will temporarily stop accepting new legal consultations and case requests."
Jiang Chen's expression was serious; he didn't seem to be joking.
As soon as he finished speaking, the live chat exploded!
【Huh? Why?】
Could it be that the Pei Group is putting pressure on us again?
【That's very possible. They've been causing trouble for a while now!】
[Tsk tsk tsk! So, they really can't beat such a big corporation; they have no choice but to back down?]
Giving in? Giving in to this kind of company will only embolden them!
Justice is still very difficult to achieve.
"No, Attorney Jiang, I was planning to consult you about the contract!"
Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the camera, his expression solemn and firm, without a trace of joking.
"It has nothing to do with the Pei Group; it's about Han Zihe."
As soon as these words were spoken, viewers in the live stream immediately perked up their ears.
"He was my junior at Star Entertainment, and also a friend."
"His matter cannot be resolved with just a 'personal reason'."
"I will now focus my efforts on investigating this matter and give him and his family an explanation."
"Therefore, we are temporarily suspending new cases. We apologize for any inconvenience."
The comments section was silent for a second, then erupted in a frenzy!
[Holy crap! It's because of Han Zihe!]
[I knew there was more to this than I expected! I got goosebumps!]
[Support Attorney Jiang! This must be thoroughly investigated! It's such a pity for such a good young man.]
[But Starry Sky Entertainment has a lot of influence and is backed by powerful financial institutions. Attorney Jiang, be careful!]
[Oh my god! I knew it! How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly become depressed and jump off a building? There was definitely something wrong.]
Got it! Looking forward to a follow-up! Let us know if you need our support!
Jiang Chen looked at the screen full of concern and encouragement, and nodded slightly.
He knew in his heart that this path would not be easy.
Star Entertainment has been deeply rooted in the local entertainment industry for many years, with extensive connections, strong public relations, dozens of artists under its wing, and capital backing it up. Trying to break through their grasp is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But he had to do it.
Not just for Han Zihe, this junior, but also for my past self!
It's time to settle this long-overdue debt!
