Chapter 1250: Born to Be King of Songs (30)
Sheng Yan walked over with his head lowered, feeling uncomfortable inside. No matter how much he tried to restrain his expression, he still looked a bit off.
-
"Have you eaten? Hm?"
Chuzheng’s cool voice sounded in his ear, instantly pulling Sheng Yan’s chaotic thoughts back from the air.
She kissed me...
This thought flashed through Sheng Yan’s mind, and his brain exploded again.
"You... you kissed me, does that mean you like me?"
Chuzheng was puzzled, "Didn’t I say it before?"
Is the Good Person Card hard of hearing?
Sheng Yan asked somewhat uneasily, "Then can we...be together?"
He held his breath waiting for Chuzheng’s answer, everything around his ears went silent, and in his eyes, there was only the person in front of him.
Chuzheng quietly looked at him, and when Sheng Yan thought she wouldn’t answer, Chuzheng suddenly cupped his head, and the feeling from before swept over him again.
"Why not."
Sheng Yan tightened his grip on Chuzheng’s arm, staring at her as if trying to imprint her into his eyes.
The boy’s eyes were full of joy, he reached out to hug Chuzheng, "You’re really nice."
Chuzheng was a bit numb, helping him to sit upright, and asked sternly, "Why aren’t you eating?"
"..." Such an ambiguous atmosphere was completely ruined by Chuzheng’s question, and Sheng Yan inexplicably felt guilty, mumbling, "I didn’t mean to."
"So you did it on purpose? I came all this way to buy it for you, and you didn’t even eat it. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
"..."
He didn’t mean to.
The result was that Chuzheng ordered a double portion and made Sheng Yan eat in the office, only allowing him to leave after finishing.
Sheng Yan: "..."
-
Recently, the employees didn’t gossip about online celebrities anymore but started gossiping about the studio’s celebrity—Sheng Yan.
Chuzheng’s office was completely transparent and was seen by the employees.
So almost the entire studio knew about it.
Chuzheng rarely appeared in the studio; even when she did, she just looked around and left, showing no improper intentions towards Sheng Yan.
Unexpectedly...
At first, this matter only spread within the studio, and Chuzheng didn’t take it seriously. The Good Person Card was hers, what’s wrong with her kissing the Good Person Card?
However, a few days later, it suddenly hit the trending list.
There were even photos.
#The lead singer of the recently popular band Fireworks is suspected to have an ambiguous relationship with the studio owner#
As soon as this headline was released, it was immediately forwarded by major marketing accounts and quickly topped the trending list.
The keyboard warriors, always ready for a world war, wielded their divine artifacts and began to unleash their might.
[Kept?]
[No wonder got popular so fast, turns out it was achieved this way.]
[How could Yan Yan be kept? The photos are so blurry, maybe it’s just a borrowed angle. Before the studio releases a statement, I advise you not to jump to conclusions.]
[Oh, how can this borrowed angle get so close?]
[Young idols nowadays would stop at nothing to become famous.]
[The Smokers will definitely trust Yan Yan, waiting for the studio’s clarification!]
[The studio owner is blocked from view, I want to see what this owner looks like.]
[Looks like just another pretty boy.]
Most of the band’s fans were unwilling to believe it and waited for the studio to clarify.
But as more than half the day went by, the studio remained silent.
At this time, the studio didn’t have time to pay attention to the online trend; everyone was called to the meeting room.
Chuzheng looked at the crowd below her with a cold expression: "Who leaked the photo?"
No one spoke.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive.
"If you don’t speak up, then I’ll have to let the tech team check each mobile phone and computer." Chuzheng said, "And the result when they find out..."
Finally, a young girl in the corner stood up trembling, "I... I’ve sent it out, but boss, you never said... that it couldn’t be sent out..."
The gossip was so rampant in the studio that Chuzheng heard it but pretended not to.
Chuzheng looked at the young girl, her tone icy, "What does the employee contract say?"
Regarding non-public Fireworks information, it can be circulated internally but not disclosed externally, including but not limited to family and friends...
Chuzheng allowed them to discuss it within the studio, which didn’t mean it could be leaked.
This point was written very clearly in the contract, bolded and in larger font to prevent anyone from missing it.
"I only sent it to my friend." The young girl was almost crying, "She absolutely wouldn’t leak it, I swear boss. I wasn’t the only one with the photo; someone else passed it to me too."
"How can you guarantee your friend won’t leak it?"
The young girl said, "I trust her, boss. If you don’t believe me, you can call her in for questioning."
"I’ll have someone check." Chuzheng motioned for her to sit down, "Is there anyone else who wants to step forward before I find out?"
One after another, a few people stood up, all of whom joined the studio later.
Among the old employees, not a single person stood up.
Chuzheng let the others leave, leaving the few uneasy ones standing in the meeting room.
"Which one of you sent it to the media?"
They all shook their heads at the same time.
Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "None of you?"
"Boss, I didn’t."
"Neither did I."
Each of them swore they didn’t send it to the media. Chuzheng seemed not to pursue them further and let them leave first.
Chuzheng called Mu Sheng on the phone, "Has Sheng Yan seen the trending news?"
"No, he’s working on a new song, locked himself in the villa’s practice room, leaving the phone outside. None of us dared to interrupt him. Boss, this matter..."
"I’ll handle it," Chuzheng said, "Don’t let him know yet."
"Understood, boss."
Chuzheng hung up the phone. Lisa pushed open the meeting room door two hours later, "I found it. The first account to expose it was a small account, followed by marketing accounts that forwarded it."
"This marketing account said it was paid. Someone asked him to forward it."
Through this marketing account, they tracked the person who paid, then traced it to a studio, and finally found the mastermind behind it—Bai Yaxuan.
Bai Yaxuan somehow got in touch with someone in the studio, bribing the person to send her any news immediately.
Bai Yaxuan wasn’t with the media, so the employees weren’t lying when they said they didn’t send it to the media.
"Why isn’t she focusing on acting, what’s her problem with me?" Chuzheng asked Lisa.
Lisa was taken aback, "... Maybe she’s low on roles recently?"
Last time, Bai Yaxuan lost so many roles and endorsements because of Chuzheng, so she indeed had fewer roles recently and was quite idle.
