Chapter 78 - 78 Stand At Attention After Being Beaten
78 Stand At Attention After Being Beaten
Boom!
In an instant!
The entire conference room instantly fell silent.
A needle could be heard clearly when it landed on the ground.
Was this child actually the Chairman of the Dinglong Corporation?
Oh my G.o.d, this was simply more explosive than the collapse of Pegasus Entertainment’s share price!
A large company like Dinglong Corporation was a company that many people dreamed of!
At this moment, the corners of Chairman Zhang Qing’s mouth began to twitch. After all, this was too shocking. The child standing in front of him was actually the Chairman of the Dinglong Corporation!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan stood there and looked at Zhang Qing with a mocking expression.
In an instant, Zhang Qing also reacted. So what if the person in front of him was the chairman of Dinglong Corporation? Now that Pegasus Entertainment and Dinglong Corporation had already fallen out, there was no need to be polite.
At that moment, he looked at Ye Xuan in front of him and said, “So what if you’re from the Dinglong Corporation? This is the office building of Pegasus Entertainment. This is a meeting among the upper echelons of Pegasus Entertainment!”
“You guys, get out!”
These words came out angrily. In his opinion, the Dinglong Corporation was simply going too far. The higher-ups were holding a meeting, but they suddenly came in. Wasn’t this a ruthless slap to his face?
However, these words were like a huge joke to Ye Xuan.
“Chairman Zhang, I think you’re still a fool. Even now, you still don’t know your place.”
“The current Pegasus Entertainment is just a street rat.”
“I’ll give you some respect and call you Chairman Zhang.”
“However, if I don’t give you any respect, hehe. In front of me, you’re nothing. You’re not even worthy of carrying my shoes.”
These few words were domineering!
Even the higher-ups had shocked expressions on their faces. They simply didn’t dare believe what they had heard.
This was the first time they had seen someone dare to speak to Zhang Qing like this.
Then.
Zhang Qing was furious. His eyes were spitting fire as he stared at Ye Xuan and said, “Chairman Ye, good, you’re really good. I admit that you have the ability to expose the dark secrets of Pegasus Entertainment. Your lightning methods are beyond my reach, but you’re still kicking me when I’m down. Do you think Pegasus Entertainment doesn’t have a temper?!”
“It’s all an exaggeration. You don’t have to take it seriously. Aren’t you afraid that we’ll turn against you if you bully us like this?!”
Zhang Qing threatened. Then, Ye Xuan laughed coldly.
He casually chased away a higher-up and sat comfortably on a chair. He said slowly, “As the Chairman of Pegasus Entertainment, you can still say such words. How impressive. Am I bullying others? Wasn’t it Pegasus Entertainment who attacked first?”
What?!
Were they the ones who attacked first?
“What are you talking about?” Zhang Qing was instantly stunned.
“Don’t you know what happened? Fine, I’ll pretend you don’t know. Yesterday, my Fifth Sister, Ye Fei, partic.i.p.ated in the Star of Tomorrow Annual Ceremony organized by your company and encountered a scandal. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Zhang Qing was really stunned.
The Star of Tomorrow Annual Ceremony was Pegasus Entertainment’s biggest project in recent times. It could be said that they did not hold back. It was impossible for them to do anything dirty!
Otherwise, wouldn’t the company be embarra.s.sed?
Would they create such a huge commotion just to promote a celebrity?
Pegasus Entertainment, which prioritized benefits, would not engage in such thankless business!
However, Zhang Qing wasn’t a fool. Since Ye Xuan said that, it couldn’t be as simple as a misunderstanding.
He immediately looked at the higher-up in charge of the Star of Tomorrow Annual Ceremony and asked reproachfully, “Tell me clearly what happened.”
The higher-ups subconsciously glanced at Zhang Tao. Seeing that the other party was avoiding their gaze and ignoring them, they were in a dilemma when Zhang Qing suddenly roared, “I told you to speak. Why are you pretending to be mute here?!”
The higher-ups were shocked and trembled.
They gritted their teeth and stomped their feet. It would not do them any good to continue hiding at this time. Why should they take the blame for others?
Thus, the higher-ups pointed at Zhang Tao and said, “The general manager arranged for me to do this! He said that he wanted Yu Yi to win the championship at the Annual Ceremony! Previously, he confessed to Ye Fei and was rejected. He held a grudge and arranged for us to lie about the outcome!
“Furthermore, yesterday, the general manager even hired paid posters to deliberately defame Miss Ye Fei! They said that she cheated on her husband and had an abortion. Anyway…”
The higher-ups went all out and simply told the truth. Although they did not explain the rest clearly, everyone knew very well.
When Zhang Qing heard the words from the higher-ups, he felt his blood pressure rise.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
He had actually extended the unspoken rule of the company to the Star of Tomorrow Annual Ceremony, which they valued the most!
Wasn’t this courting death?!
Not only had he tarnished the company’s image, but he had also offended a G.o.d for no reason!
Now that the company’s shares had fallen to the lower limit, he did not know how to explain it to the board of directors!
What a sin. How did he give birth to such a son?!
The more Zhang Qing thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped Zhang Tao’s face.
He used all his strength in this slap, and Zhang Tao’s face swelled visibly.
Zhang Tao did not say a word even after being slapped. He knew that he had caused a huge problem. A slap was already quite light.
Who else could be blamed?
Ye Xuan looked at Zhang Qing and said loudly, “You don’t have to continue acting and beating up your son in front of me. Now that it has happened, it is irreversible. I didn’t come today to hear you apologize. There is a saying that you have to admit your mistakes and stand up when you are beaten.”
Ye Xuan sat there and looked around.
The group of Pegasus Entertainment executives and Zhang Qing looked at Ye Xuan. Their bodies trembled.
These executives were usually all powerful figures, but now, facing a child, they could not muster any aura.
Everyone instantly fell silent at the same time.
Hearing that the brand he had painstakingly built was about to close down, Zhang Qing simply felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The usually high and mighty Chairman was now in such a sorry state, but Zhang Qing didn’t have time to grieve. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Ye Xuan in a pleading tone, “Chairman Ye, please be magnanimous, okay? Pegasus Entertainment is willing to apologize to Miss Ye Fei and is willing to try our best to make up for the damage caused to Miss Ye Fei.”
Even if he had to kneel on the ground and call Ye Fei his mother, it was better than watching Pegasus Entertainment close down!
If the company closed down, their happy life would come to an end.
Zhang Qing’s face was pale. He did not dare to think about the difficult days ahead.
Zhang Qing felt a sweetness in his heart and simply spat out a mouthful of blood.
His heart was in a mess. He hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pulled down the stunned Zhang Tao.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Hurry up and apologize to President Ye personally. Do you believe that I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial son?!” Zhang Qing scolded Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao looked at his father’s ghost-like face and finally realized his fear. “I know I was wrong, Chairman Ye. Please let Pegasus Entertainment live!”
Recalling how he had asked the head of the Internet troll army to defame Ye Fei yesterday, Zhang Tao was truly afraid.
Would Ye Xun really let them off just because they went bankrupt?
He was from the Dinglong Corporation. Even his father had to listen to him obediently.
He was just a rich second-generation heir who was waiting to die. What could he do…
