Chapter 497 - Power Oppression (1/2)

What would they have to do?

It was obvious that Huo Zhanpeng was impulsive this time, much too impulsive.

The purpose of what Yi Yunrui did to Huo Zhanpeng’s investors last night was to send a warning signal. However, the urgent press conference in the morning indicated that Huo Zhanpeng was going to retaliate at all costs.

Frowning slightly, Xia Ning was thinking about how to deal with that.

After a while, Xia Ning’s eyes lit up, “You can go right to the spot of the press conference. No response should be made to all questions raised by Huo Zhanpeng, including the attack. You can tell him that it is just speculation if you have to.”

“Okay, Sister Xia, I am gonna go.” Jing Shu packed her stuff up after the conversation.

“Shu, how is your assistant’s stuff going?”

“No good ones have been found yet. Just wait and see in the following days. Sister Xia, have I done anything wrong these days?”

“No. I just want you to relax a bit and be more focused on your work.”

Jing Shu sipped and nodded, “Get that. thank you, Sister Xia.”

Watching Jing Shu walk out of the door, Xia Ning called Yi Yunrui, “Dear, it seems that Huo Zhanpeng is scared out of his wits. He’s gonna hold a press conference with all media summoned.”

Yi Yunrui raised his eyebrows and said, “Is it? Well, I’d like to see what tricks this young talent can play. Dear, can you transmit the real-time video materials of the press conference to me?”

“Sure.”

People were informed about the press conference at eight o’clock, and the whole lobby was already crowded at half past eight. It seemed that the reporters were very dedicated, most of whom were the on-the-go staff.

The venue was being set up. There were not enough chairs on spot and the staff were busy taking chairs and equipment out. Jing Shu did not see the theme of this press conference until 9 o’clock.

By nine fifteen, chairs filled the entire lobby, and all seats were occupied. At nine thirty, Huo Zhanpeng and He Yuan, as well as the host and some staff members, came out.

A crowd of people was seated. First, the host extended thanks of greetings. After a brief introduction, the host handed the microphone to He Yuan.

He Yuan, with swollen eyes and a haggard face, looked as if she didn’t sleep much last night.

At this time, cameras from the crowd kept flashing.

He Yuan stood up and bowed deeply to the crowd, “Thank you for your coming. In fact, the reason why this press conference is held today by Tianyu Entertainment Company is that half the story is to do with me.”

As she spoke, He Yuan’s eyes were full of moisture and her voice became a little choked, “I really don’t know what to say. Because of my impulsiveness and willfulness, Tianyu Entertainment Company has suffered serious losses. I can only say sorry here. I’m sorry for the company and sorry for my fans.”

Speaking of this, He Yuan sobbed and choked, unable to say a word. Huo Zhanpeng patted her back and told her to sit down.

When He Yuan sat down, Huo Zhanpeng stood up and said loudly, “This time, I invited the media to come, hoping that you would help He Yuan and Tianyu Entertainment Company. What we need is justice only.”

As soon as Huo Zhanpeng finished talking, there was a heated discussion among the crowd immediately.

To seek justice?

At this moment, several staff members held a large sign with a sentence written in red paint, “No Power Oppression. Be Open and Fair.”

Seeing these words, everyone on spot was in an uproar.

“Folks, you must be surprised about the theme of the press conference. As we all know, I held a party in C City last night, during which some unpleasant things occurred to He Yuan and a big shot. Right last night, Tianyu Entertainment Company immediately received the news of the collective withdrawal of investment. To this end, the highlight of Tianyu Entertainment Company’s yearly film, ‘Night’, will be put on hold.”

Speaking of this, Huo Zhanpeng clenched the microphone in his hand and said emotionally, “What I want to say is about that big shot. You are a person on the top. Why did you want to put a young person on the spot? I acknowledge there were surely some misunderstandings between you two. But if you are gonna oppress us just due to the personal relationship, all members in Tianyu Entertainment Company will defend what we deserve.”

“The entertainment circle is a place where talents emerge, and it is precisely because of the fierce competition in the entertainment circle that the prosperity and diversity of the entertainment circle have been created. But all this is only based on fair competition. The development of the entertainment circle will be hindered as long as the power oppression exists. It is conceivable that the future of the circle will be gloomy.”

“I’m sure the big shot must be watching the press conference in front of the television. I can tell you unequivocally that we shall never give in no matter what you do to us. As the board chairman of Tianyu Entertainment Company, it’s my duty to protect any of our artists. I know clearly what happened last night was just the beginning. But just as what I have put here, I will spare no effort to gamble on everything and fight to the end.”

What Huo Zhanpeng said made the crowd uproarious. It could be compared to the scene where one stone stirred up ten thousand waves. Many reporters asked about what had happened and who this “big shot” was.

Huo Zhanpeng’s assistant was answering questions, while He Yuan kept sobbing on stage. Huo Zhanpeng comforted her from time to time. With questions on the rise, Huo Zhanpeng suddenly grabbed the assistant’s microphone and said, “I think it’s clear to those who are from World Era Weekly.”
