Chapter 209

"Didn't I tell you not to send it to me again? I have nothing to do with the company anymore!" Jiang Yuner's tone sounded very angry, and in her anger, she carried a hint of anxiety.

Originally, she performed as the finale tonight, showing her strength in front of all the audience. Just looking at the cheers of the audience off-stage when she was on stage, she knew she was very popular.

Everything was developing in a good direction, and her mood was also very good. However, because of a phone call, her good mood fell directly to the bottom.

After trainees enter the production team, their mobile phones must be handed over to the production team for safekeeping. If trainees' relatives and friends have any problems, they can call the dedicated line set up by the production team to contact them.

And a person who claimed to be Jiang Yuner's company boss contacted her again through this dedicated line.

This person was indeed Jiang Yuner's boss, but now a "former" should be added, because as early as a month ago, her contract with this company had expired, and now she was already a free person.

But this boss didn't seem to want to let Jiang Yuner go just like that. About a month ago, when Jiang Yuner came to China to participate in the audition, he had already called her, asking her to return to South Korea to follow the company's arrangements.

After being rejected by Jiang Yuner, a month later, he contacted Jiang Yuner again.

On the phone, the boss's gloomy voice sounded: "Yuner-xi, you are becoming famous in China now, your Weibo fans are almost 3 million, and today the number of votes you got almost exceeded 3 million as soon as it came out. The results are very good."

"So what, what does this have to do with you?" Jiang Yuner's expression was cold.

The boss smiled hypocritically: "After all, you are an artist cultivated by our company, and I am also very proud of you."

"Stop being hypocritical. You know in your heart whether you cultivated me or not. Now I have no connection with the company, and I don't want to waste any more words with you!" Jiang Yuner said and was about to hang up the phone.

"Jiang Yuner!" The boss finally stopped talking nonsense. "Since you say so, then I won't leave you any face. You say you have no connection with the company, but do you know that you are still a signed trainee of the company?"

Jiang Yuner said angrily: "Stop lying to me. Our contract expired a month ago. I didn't take a penny of the remuneration for this past year, just because I didn't want to have any connection with you anymore!"

The boss sneered: "It's not up to you to say whether it expired or not. We did sign a two-year contract at the beginning, but there is a clause in the supplementary terms that if the trainee performs well during the contract period, the company can unilaterally choose to renew the contract.

And a month ago, we already chose to renew the contract, so you are still a signed artist of SK Company!"

Jiang Yuner's face changed: "You are lying. The contract I signed at the beginning didn't have these supplementary terms at all. This is an invalid contract!"

"Of course you can deny it, and you can even sue us in a South Korean court. However, when the court opens, your dream of debuting in China will probably go down the drain.

We will use every means to extend the trial time. Even if we lose the case in the end, we will not let the case end easily." Speaking of this, the dirty thoughts contained by the boss were already self-evident.

For an artist with such excellent conditions as Jiang Yuner, he wouldn't be surprised no matter where she became popular. Of course, it would be better to become popular in China, as she could make more money.

All he wanted was for Jiang Yuner to compromise with the company and continue to make money for them. And now that she had already participated in the show, any influence of external factors would be fatal to her. Even if it were a sure-win lawsuit, Jiang Yuner couldn't go to sue.

And even if she didn't sue, the boss would take the initiative to sue Jiang Yuner in advance. The purpose was only one, and that was to force her to submit obediently.

"Yuner-xi, you have been an artist in the company for two years, and we have been together day and night, so there is still affection. I don't want to make things to an irrecoverable point.

As long as you are willing to sign the contract to renew your contract and become an official artist of the company, I can treat all the unpleasantness before as if it never happened. Moreover, SK Company will also fully support and cooperate with your career in China, allowing you to debut successfully!

How about it, Yuner-xi, only a few female artists in the company can enjoy such high-quality treatment. This is a decision that doesn't need to be considered at all."

"You mention treatment to me?" A determined, miserable smile appeared on Jiang Yuner's pale and beautiful face. "If being forced to accompany those officials is also high-quality treatment, I don't want it for the rest of my life!"

"Yuner-xi!" The boss suddenly became earnest: "Many people in this circle have come through this way. If you don't have a big company as a backer, if you want to get resources, don't you have to start with the officials who manage the idol industry?

And even artists from those big companies have taken on similar businesses voluntarily. What are you embarrassed about?"

"You said this sentence half a year ago, and my answer is the same as half a year ago—NO! POS! SI! BLE!"

"Jiang Yuner, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

"Whatever you want. If I can't debut, I will expose all the scandals of the company in court!" Jiang Yuner hung up the phone in hysterical roaring.

And Miss Luo Quan, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, trembled all over as if she had been shocked, just like last time.

"Who?!" Jiang Yuner's hearing was unusually keen. Even in such an agitated state, she still discovered the movement outside the bathroom door.

A person she never expected squeezed in from outside the door, her expression a bit awkward.

"Teacher Miss Luo Quan..." Jiang Yuner was at a loss at this time. "Did you hear everything?"

What else could Miss Luo Quan say? She could only bite the bullet and nod: "I heard everything, but I only heard what you said. I don't know what it is specifically."

Jiang Yuner sighed: "It's not something that can't be seen. It's just my former company boss who wanted to use the big company to threaten me and let me sign with them again.

You should also know the reason why I refused."

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "You should fight against these scumbags to the end like this. You must never compromise. As soon as you show weakness, they will think you are easy to bully and will push their luck!"

Jiang Yuner smiled bitterly: "But no matter what, I guess I can't record the show anymore. Once the court opens, I must return to South Korea, and listening to his tone, he wants to drag out the trial of the case as long as possible."

Hearing the threat that was rotten with pus from that boss, Miss Luo Quan suddenly had no idea, and could only ask: "Don't you also have their handle?"

"In South Korea, these things are not said to be on the table, at least people in the circle basically know it well.

And even if it is said, whether the judge will accept it is another matter. After all, this thing didn't really happen."

"Then isn't it completely unsolvable?" Miss Luo Quan frowned. "I don't believe there is no justice in this world. Don't worry, since I have seen this kind of thing, I will definitely not sit idly by. Give me some time, and I will find a way for you!"

"Really!" Jiang Yuner, who had already despaired, saw the light called hope bloom in her eyes again at this time, but then she felt terrified in her heart.

She was afraid that after grabbing this ray of hope, everything would not change at all. The blow to her would probably be even heavier than direct despair.

"But, Teacher Miss Luo Quan, why do you want to help me so much?" Jiang Yuner asked curiously.

"Have you never recognized who I am?" Miss Luo Quan said, making a circle with the index finger and thumb of both hands, and then placing them on her eye sockets. "Give you some hints, I was wearing sunglasses when we first met."

"It's you, Springwater!" Jiang Yuner suddenly realized. No wonder she would be called by such a strange name as "Springwater," because this was Miss Luo Quan's stage name.

Miss Luo Quan smiled: "At that time, I said that if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me."

Jiang Yuner explained: "You were wearing sunglasses that day, and I couldn't recognize you at all. And you seem to have undergone some changes recently."

"There are indeed some changes, but this is not important." Miss Luo Quan waved her hand. "In short, don't worry too much about this matter, I will find a way for you."

"Then thank you so much, Teacher Miss Luo Quan." Jiang Yuner was really full of mixed feelings at this time.

Miss Luo Quan smiled: "Call me teacher on the show, and call me Miss Luo Quan directly in private. Although we just added each other on WeChat, I think we should be considered friends (transliteration of Korean friend) now, right?"

"Definitely." Jiang Yuner nodded heavily.

The two didn't talk much. The show recording had already ended, and the production team wouldn't stay in the stadium for too long. After cleaning up, they would take all the trainees back to the Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center.

After returning, Seeing Wen Xia, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, directly attacked Miss Luo Quan: "What on earth did you go to do?!"

"I just met Jiang Yuner..." Subsequently, Miss Luo Quan told Seeing Wen Xia everything about the difficulties Jiang Yuner encountered.

After listening to Miss Luo Quan's account, Seeing Wen Xia was also filled with righteous indignation. Part of it was because she had also had similar experiences, so she couldn't stand this kind of thing.

"There's nothing to say. I must help with this, whether for public or private reasons." Saying that, Seeing Wen Xia took out her phone.

"What are you going to do?" Miss Luo Quan looked at her in confusion.

"Refund the plane ticket." Seeing Wen Xia looked confused. "What do you think I'm going to do?"

Miss Luo Quan couldn't laugh or cry: "I thought you were preparing to call people."

"I'm not as violent as you." While talking and laughing, Seeing Wen Xia had already completed the refund, and by the way, booked a hotel room in the same city.

Before solving Jiang Yuner's matter, they probably wouldn't have time to return to Beijing.

Old sayings say, when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth.

This sentence is very appropriate for Jiang Yuner now.

The problem in South Korea hasn't been solved yet, and the rhythm about her in China has also started.

In fact, she was also lying down with a gun. The cause of the matter was that Penguin detected an abnormal vote growth data in the early morning. The votes of two trainees rose by hundreds of thousands in less than a minute.

Although the show had just finished airing not long ago and the popularity was high, these two trainees were not popular trainees.

Although there were many trending searches about them on Weibo these days, they were not the trainees Penguin intended to push, and the strength of these two people was also very average, basically hovering in the middle of Class C.

The reason why they could enter "Chuangshao" was largely because Penguin looked at the face of the gold master behind them.

Before the third episode aired, Penguin repeatedly emphasized and greeted many parties that no ballot stuffing was allowed.

However, some people still didn't take this warning seriously and still carried out ballot stuffing blatantly.

Then don't blame Penguin for turning its face and not recognizing people.

Of course, before this, Penguin also conducted investigations from many parties to ensure that this was not someone framing them.

With solid evidence, Penguin issued an announcement at 2:00 AM:

"According to the investigation by data monitoring personnel, the companies where "Chuangshao" Class C trainees Yu Shu and Zheng Yi are located have ballot stuffing behavior, which seriously violates the principle of fair competition of "Chuangshao."

After discussion and decision by the production team, the eligibility of the two trainees to participate in the talent show is canceled, and the cooperation with the companies where the trainees are located is suspended!

This is hereby announced, hoping that everyone can take it as a warning!"

This is an announcement, and also a warning, warning all the companies behind the trainees not to do stupid things. After all, Penguin is also a Chinese internet giant. These tricks are all played by others. They can fool the audience but not the professionals.

Although the handling of the trainees was a bit severe, Penguin did indeed issue a lot of warnings before this. Since they hit the muzzle of the gun, they must be prepared to be the bird that gets shot, so it didn't cause too much controversy.

However, the two companies of the trainees who were dealt with were directly hung on the internet by Penguin like this. It can be said that they lost face. For a time, melon-eating masses and peers were laughing at them.

Out of shame and anger, naturally, they also had to give a response.

It is naturally impossible to confront Penguin head-on, but it is very simple to disgust Penguin.

Early the next morning, a piece of news suddenly hit the trending search list without anyone noticing.

"Can South Koreans perform in China?"

This news tells about the winter of career that South Korean artists have encountered in China since last year, and supports such behavior. After all, there are no small matters in GJ.

At the same time, the news also asked in the article, saying that Penguin, as a Chinese entertainment and internet giant, should have played a leading role, but the popular variety show under its banner openly appeared with South Korean artists, and continued to give exposure, leading to many young girls and boys on the internet becoming her fans.

This behavior is completely going against the world, and I hope Penguin can give an explanation for this.

This trending search can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. Even in the early morning, it still triggered no less than 50,000 comments and discussions, and there was a trend of intensifying.

Although Penguin quickly contacted Weibo to remove this trending search, the topic had already been raised, and wanting to suppress it again was not as simple as removing a trending search.

And the most intuitive manifestation of the consequences caused by this trending search is: the growth rate of Jiang Yuner's Weibo fans and votes plummeted, and there was a lot of scolding under the related Weibo.
