Chapter 680: Slap s.h.i.+ Xiang’s Face
Chu Jiu didn’t know what to do. It would be easier if the company was his. However, his father owned the company. Also, s.h.i.+ Xiang was a super popular singer. The promotional film and style design had both been done, and his final makeup photo had been punished online. If they replaced him now… His father would not agree.
s.h.i.+ Xiang saw him as an impetuous young man. He laughed. “Are you out of your mind? Do you know who I am? Do you know how much time and money Fanyu spent to get me here? a.s.sistant Wu, I’m not gonna do the voice acting today. I’ll never come back here, unless you give me a formal apology.”
“Please don’t.” Frightened, a.s.sistant Wu quickly gave Chu Jiu an eye signal.
Mo Liuxi turned to Chu Jiu and said, “Replace him. I’ll introduce a Hollywood A-list male star to you.”
a.s.sistant Wu paused in shock. Where was this crazy friend of Young Master Chu’s from? He was way too arrogant. However, Chu Jiu’s eyes glowed. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.” Mo Liuxi nodded.
“Okay, we’ll replace him.” Chu Jiu immediately made the decision. a.s.sistant Wu nearly knelt on the ground.
s.h.i.+ Xiang heard that as he was leaving, and his veins began throbbing in his temples. Since he had become famous, he had never been humiliated like that. “A Hollywood A-list male star? I think you’re talking idiotic nonsense. Good, since you broke the contract first, don’t blame us for being unfriendly.” After saying that, he walked away angrily with large strides.
David Han picked up his bag, then turned back, pointed at Chu Jiu, and said, “We won’t let you get away with this.” After giving the warning, he quickly followed s.h.i.+ Xiang.
a.s.sistant Wu buried his head in his arms. He nearly collapsed. “Young Master Chu, you’ve created a huge problem this time. s.h.i.+ Xiang has tens of millions of fans. If he says one bad word about Fangyu out there, we’ll be overwhelmed by verbal abuse from his fans. Our new game hasn’t even been released yet. This will bring us a great negative influence. Besides, s.h.i.+ Xiang is such a superstar. Who can possibly replace him?”
“Didn’t my friend just tell you? An A-list male star from Hollywood.” Chu Jiu pointed at Mo Liuxi.
“Relax. I’ve given you my word. I’ll do what I said,” Mo Liuxi responded coldly.
a.s.sistant Wu paused briefly. He did not believe Mo Liuxi, but he was indeed shaken by his determined tone. “That’s true, but it’s inappropriate for us to replace him for no reason, isn’t it? We’re the ones who did wrong, no matter how we explain it. We asked s.h.i.+ Xiang to accept our offer repeatedly back in the beginning.”
Chu Jiu frowned, as he didn’t know what to do. Mo Liuxi abruptly said, “I remember I saw that man named s.h.i.+ Xiang walk into the studio at four o’clock. Was he late, or was that the right time?”
a.s.sistant Wu’s eyes glowed. “He was an hour late every day, so the dubbers that we hired to teach him always got off work at one or two in the morning.”
Mo Liuxi’s cold face showed a meaningful smile as he said, “Isn’t that the perfect reason for you to replace him? As a first-line star, he’s late for work, and he turned up his nose to the others. Even the most patient company can’t stand that. Don’t just stand here. Go talk to your publicity department and tell them to release the news with the name of your company. You can also bring some great publicity to yourself by doing that. People will certainly talk about it and choose sides. However, when you’ve signed the contract with an A-list Hollywood male star, you’ll be able to slap s.h.i.+ Xiang in the face. An international star versus an Asian singer. People will know which one is worth more.”
“Yes, yes, I’m doing it right now.” a.s.sistant Wu hurriedly nodded and then started arranging everything in haste.
