Chapter 378: The Truth Comes Out

For the past two days, almost the entire internet has been talking about Qiguan Mingzhu's black material.

And what is as famous as her black material is the calm style of her fans and herself.

They say fans follow the star, but Qiguan Mingzhu is really different from her warm-hearted fans.

Her fans are working hard to fight against the black material, while Qiguan Mingzhu hasn't defended herself for a single sentence since tagging Century Entertainment, and reporters can't reach her either.

So much so that Jin Li and other members of Pink Girls have instead welcomed many reporters who want to inquire about Qiguan Mingzhu from them.

Regarding this, all members of Pink Girls have nothing to say.

Look, Ji Qinglian said in the group that she finished her work in the middle of the night and was almost surrounded by paparazzi at the door when she returned to the apartment. If it weren't for the very capable security guards in the residential area, she probably wouldn't have been able to get away within an hour or two.

And now, Jin Li was just morning jogging in the residential area, planning to go out to buy some breakfast, when she was surrounded by "early-rising" paparazzi.

Just looking at the faces of those paparazzi, they were all filled with a sense of weakness and depression after staying up all night.

But when they saw Jin Li, they still felt a boost of energy, raised their microphones, and surrounded Jin Li to ask questions.

"I heard that Qiguan Mingzhu has reached a verbal agreement with Chenxi Entertainment and will change jobs to Chenxi Entertainment. Is this news true or false?"

Jin Li played dumb: "I don't know, but if she can come to me, I'd be quite happy. That way, both Sister Meng Meng and I would have company, and we could get together to play Fight the Landlord."

A paparazzi heard this and couldn't help but laugh: "Then you're still missing one person; three are missing one, so you can't play mahjong!"

Jin Li laughed and said: "Haha, now it's two missing one, and I don't know if she can come."

Another paparazzi said: "Qiguan Mingzhu has been going out with you for gatherings recently, and you even went to burn incense and worship gods together. Has she already revealed her future development plan to you?"

It's not just that she revealed it recently; she already had this intention half a year ago.

But this cannot be said in front of the paparazzi. It's a sister's business, and there's no need to tell outsiders.

Many celebrities always like to show off to the outside world that I have a good relationship with so-and-so, I have a strong relationship with someone, and I am good brothers/good girlfriends with A, B, and C, as if "if you love someone, you have to say it out loud."

It's not that this is wrong, but even biological brothers have grudges overnight. If the relationship changes in the next few years, the paparazzi will work hard to create news.

What's more, no matter how good the brothers and sisters are, they can't stand being compared by the outside world.

Don't ask why the outside world always likes to compare some celebrities with good relationships. This is the inferior nature of the media; if there is no topic, they have to create a topic, and only if there is a contradiction can there be a conflict.

Therefore, all members of Pink Girls don't like to talk about their own affairs to the outside world.

Jin Li said: "We rarely talk about work topics. If we talk about it, it's just wanting to introduce work to each other. She hasn't told me about her development plan, and I only knew from the news that she didn't intend to renew."

The paparazzi asked: "You don't talk about this, then what do you talk about?"

Mentioning this, Jin Li became energetic.

"There are so many things to talk about. She recommends what comics are good recently, I recommend what makeup looks good, but the last thing we talked about was which god is more efficacious and can be worshipped more."

The paparazzi were attracted by the topic and couldn't help asking: "So which god is more efficacious?"

Jin Li pinched her fingers and calculated: "This depends on what you are lacking. Each god has a corresponding duty, and you have to worship the right god, but I can introduce a god that everyone needs."

Another paparazzi interrupted: "Which one?"

Jin Li coughed and said seriously: "Young man, I see that you are lacking wealth in your life, so you'd better worship the God of Wealth!"

This interview footage was originally not supposed to be used, but somehow it leaked out, and the netizens who heard the news all laughed.

【Sister, I am also lacking wealth in my life, cover me!】

【What a coincidence, how did you know I was lacking wealth? It turns out you are my wealth!】

【Don't ask for a family fortune, just ask for a Jin Li, wish to get one person's heart, white head will not separate~】

【All too roundabout, look at me! Rich woman, hungry, rice, rice!】

Regardless of the public opinion from the outside world, Qiguan Mingzhu stayed in her apartment, and only for the jobs that had been finalized a few months ago would she go out to run.

When she tidied herself up and went to a brand's new product launch, the person in charge at the scene was very surprised to see her and said with a bad attitude: "Why are you here?"

Qiguan Mingzhu noticed that his tone was different and said peacefully: "The job was finalized months ago, and I haven't received any change requests in the middle, so I came."

Hearing her say this, the person in charge frowned and was puzzled: "You didn't receive any change requests? That's not right. I received a notice from Century Entertainment a few days ago saying that you refused to cooperate and all the previously scheduled jobs were void!"

Qiguan Mingzhu understood and reacted quickly: "I didn't refuse to cooperate, and I never received any notice of job cancellation from Century Entertainment. I still have my manager's WeChat, and she didn't mention any itinerary changes to me."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and opened WeChat in front of the person in charge.

Lu Shuxian was her manager. No matter what she thought of her, work was the most important thing, so she had always been her pinned contact.

The person in charge saw with his own eyes that she sent a "?" to Lu Shuxian, and then—

【You and the other party are not friends yet, please add the other party as a friend first】

Qiguan Mingzhu:...

Person in charge:...

The thoughts in both of their hearts were again in agreement: Knowing she doesn't like me (knowing Century Entertainment and Qiguan Mingzhu are on very bad terms), but there's no need to ruin my business (but there's no need to blow up people's business), who exactly is paying the liquidated damages (Century Entertainment's liquidated damages haven't been paid yet)!

The person in charge at the scene faced such a complex situation and couldn't help but rub his temples several times.

He originally had no intention of getting involved in the struggle between Century Entertainment and Qiguan Mingzhu, but because the suspension of business sent by Century Entertainment was too late, they hadn't been able to contact any stars who could come for the past few days.

The brand is at least a first-tier big brand, and it's really a bit shabby without a first-tier star sitting in town.

The person in charge sighed in his heart and said seriously on the surface: "Since you have already come and want to participate in the job, then follow the process. After the launch event, the company will contact Century Entertainment again."

Saying something very tragic, although Century Entertainment doesn't talk about martial arts and makes Qiguan Mingzhu breach the contract comprehensively.

But if Qiguan Mingzhu still went to run the job, then this job fee would still be paid into Century Entertainment's account first, and could not be received by Qiguan Mingzhu privately.

Artists and companies sign contracts, and there are strict accounts for job fees, which must all go through the public account so that taxes can be calculated clearly.

If you receive money privately, no one can afford the charge of tax evasion.

As for whether Century Entertainment will transfer this money to Qiguan Mingzhu according to the contract, that is uncertain. After all, there are precedents in the entertainment industry of artists suing companies, and artists turning around to ask for wages from companies!

After the new product launch, Qiguan Mingzhu didn't leave immediately, but wanted to know the result of the negotiation between the person in charge and Century Entertainment.

Seeing that she hadn't left and was still following him, the person in charge had a headache.

Helplessly, he could only call the president of Century Entertainment, not the job docking party.

Now that the event is over, it's useless to pursue the trouble of the docking party. If you want to find someone, you have to find the highest rank.

Century Entertainment is only a second-tier company, and the brand person in charge already has his WeChat, so he doesn't need to call, just a voice call.

The president answered and asked suspiciously: "Hello, what's the matter?"

The person in charge fired rudely: "What's wrong with you? Internal fighting in the company cannot affect us brand parties who have already scheduled jobs with Qiguan Mingzhu!"

Another one looking for trouble!

The president's forehead veins jumped slightly, and he said nicely: "We are communicating with Qiguan Mingzhu, but the result is not ideal. She is determined to leave Century Entertainment, and all jobs are suspended. She doesn't participate in any of them."

The person in charge looked at Qiguan Mingzhu who was standing opposite, and his brows furrowed. The two sides said different things!

"Qiguan Mingzhu came to run the job today and said she didn't receive any job change notice from the company. She didn't even know that her jobs were all suspended. Haven't you contacted her?"

The president's expression paused, "She wants to change jobs, so I didn't take the initiative to contact her. I've always been urging the manager to communicate with her. I don't have her WeChat, only her phone number."

Qiguan Mingzhu never added his WeChat in the five years she came to the company.

As a president, it's impossible for him to promote his business card to an artist and ask her to add a friend.

Anyway, if there is anything major, Qiguan Mingzhu will call him.

In five years, she only called him three times, and these three communications were related to jobs, asking the company not to arrange jobs she didn't want to take anymore.

The person in charge was silent for a while before saying: "But her manager blacklisted her. I saw it on the spot. She couldn't even contact her manager herself."

"You didn't contact her to say the job was cancelled. She thought the job was going on as usual, so she came to run the job today anyway. You'd better talk to her properly."

The person in charge hung up the phone. Without saying anything to Qiguan Mingzhu, she received a call from the president first.

The president said very seriously: "Isn't it that you want to breach the contract with the company and then unilaterally say you won't participate in any jobs?"

Qiguan Mingzhu said very definitely: "I have never said this sentence. Who did you hear it from?"

President: "Lu Shuxian."

Qiguan Mingzhu: "She has already blacklisted me. I don't know how she handled my jobs. I have always wanted to part on good terms with Century Entertainment."

That evening, Jin Li heard the big melon exploded by Qiguan Mingzhu from the group.

Her manager actually deceived the company, lied to the company that the artist wouldn't run any jobs, and blacklisted the artist!

Lotus: 【It's amazing, didn't anyone notice something wrong?】

Pearl: 【I only added five people from Century Entertainment on WeChat, all of whom are my team. Those people didn't dare to come and ask me. Lu Shuxian is a person with a relatively high position in the company.】

Lotus: 【Other brand parties didn't ask?】

Pearl: 【The only first-tier brand among the jobs I accepted is this one today. The other few are third-tier brands, and I don't have their WeChat.】

Lotus: 【No wonder... didn't any artists come to ask you?】

Pearl: 【This news hasn't spread yet, and many people in the industry don't know.】

Carp: 【Yes, even my manager didn't receive any news. It may be because you have too few jobs left, and none of them are big brands. Even if someone knows, they don't take it seriously. Only this first-tier brand is the most unlucky. Fortunately, they couldn't find anyone temporarily, so they let you fill in.】

Tongtong: 【@Pearl, I said, can you change the bad habit of not liking to add people on WeChat? If you added a few more people, this matter would have been discovered long ago, and it wouldn't have taken four days to notice something wrong.】

In the past, when everyone was in the same team, Pearl didn't like to add people, so she didn't. Anyway, there were still them.

But Gong Zitong never thought that even after changing jobs for five years, her bad habit of not liking to add people was still there, and she had been kept in the dark for so long.

Qiguan Mingzhu's WeChat friends were all friends who played well with her. Recently, the black material about her on the internet was raging, and everyone didn't want to disturb her at this time.

Even if they heard any news about her, they thought it was the result of her careful consideration and wouldn't specifically come to ask her why she wanted to do this.

Plus, Century Entertainment is a small company, and there are very few jobs accepted. Except for this first-tier brand that suffered a relatively large loss, the other few jobs were changed if they were changed.

Those small brands don't ask Qiguan Mingzhu to participate in activities, and they can save some job fees. It's not that they must have Qiguan Mingzhu.

NANA: 【You must pursue this matter with the company. This is a matter of the artist's reputation. If it spreads, your reputation in the circle will be very bad.】

Sister Meng Meng eating melons online: 【When I terminated the contract before, I also quarreled with the former company and collected a lot of information about their breach of contract. Why don't I send you a copy to see?】

Pearl: 【?】

Pearl: 【The information you collected only applies to your situation. The contract I signed with you is different, and the situation is also different.】

Sister Meng Meng: 【Hehe, you can prepare mentally to facilitate your quarreling~ I also specifically collected a resignation treasure book on how to quarrel with the boss for compensation!】

Carp: 【6】

Qiguan Mingzhu didn't know how to solve this matter. Jin Li suddenly received a call from Sui Lingfang. She thought it was because this matter about Pearl had spread.

After answering, she found that the manager had been tearing apart the skincare brand Yamei in the WeChat group a few days ago, and finally leaked the artist they had finalized—Li Xunfang.

When Sui Lingfang knew about this, she had a feeling that the dust had settled, because Li Xunfang was her key suspect.

After all, she had a criminal record of snatching film and television resources. Now snatching a skincare brand resource is also very normal.

Jin Li asked: "Since you know who it is, what do you want to do?"

Sui Lingfang sneered: "I don't need to do anything. I just need to spread this news. I complained in the WeChat group and Moments before, and many people know that your job was snatched. Many people are silently paying attention to this matter."

"Although I can't cause any harm to Li Xunfang by doing this, I can make her already not-so-good popularity in the circle even worse. All artist teams will guard against her and let her taste the feeling of being treated coldly." ===== CHAPTER 379 =====
