Chapter 435: Too Shameless!

As for Yan Qingxue's situation, it was not much better.

Although she knew how to save money now and no longer wholeheartedly subsidized the scumbag with her salary and savings like before.

But her expenses when she was with Xu Rixin before were really too high, and she even maxed out several credit cards. Even though her income had been higher recently, her savings were still not much.

Xu Tian and the others held calculators and calculated for more than an hour, adding all the savings everyone could take out together, and then deducting various expenses needed to open the company. The final remaining project startup capital was simply not enough to support the talent show variety program Xu Tian had planned before.

Moreover, investment had risks. If this variety program did not gain popularity as expected, their company would also face the predicament of going bankrupt just after opening.

"Planning a talent show variety program is far riskier than investing in film and television dramas, and the surplus funds we have on hand now are simply not enough. Even if we let Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue be mentors, we can save a portion of the expenses, but we still need at least one experienced artist to sit in charge to attract investment."

"And the audition venues all over the country also need to communicate with local departments in advance. Besides money, connections are also crucial."

Yan Qingxue analyzed the predicament they were about to face, and the atmosphere among the four of them was suddenly not as high as when they first started discussing.

Xu Tian frowned and pondered, calculating a solution.

A look of worry also appeared on Murong Xue's face.

Only Nie Jingjing was as carefree as ever, saying indifferently.

"Isn't it just a funding problem? Problems that can be solved with money are not problems!"

"I can earn millions with one endorsement now. At worst, Murong Xue and I will take on a few more advertisements recently to make up the startup capital for this project!"

Murong Xue nodded immediately upon hearing this.

"Brother Xu, you don't need to worry about us. Give us more work; I can go to commercial performances!"

Xu Tian did not speak immediately.

The four of them resigned collectively; Guo Qishan would certainly not let it go easily.

I am afraid that even if Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue wanted to work now, there might not be any brand owners or commercial performances that would dare to hire them.

After they left Qingguo Music, they immediately posted the news of their resignation on Weibo.

Xu Tian had not paid attention to how the public opinion on the internet was, but he could guess that Guo Zhihao would definitely hire internet trolls to smear them.

The subsequent funding problem had still not been solved. The few of them discussed for nearly another hour and planned to solve dinner at the coffee shop while they were at it.

While waiting for the food to be served, Nie Jingjing picked up her phone and started scrolling through Weibo.

As soon as she clicked on the hot search list, she saw the video clip of the program "Only Love Remembering Lyrics" recorded at the TV station before.

"These bastards! I knew they couldn't be peaceful, but I didn't expect them to be so bottomless!" "This program can't even be broadcast, yet they still take edited video clips out of context to smear us!"

Seeing Nie Jingjing slapping the table in anger, the other three also picked up their phones one after another.

Not long after Xu Tian and the others officially announced their resignation, the short videos of Nie Jingjing, Murong Xue, and Zhou Shishi had already spread on Weibo.

Those brainless plots that were originally intentionally arranged were embellished and spliced together, actually turning into Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue joining forces to bully a newcomer, and after being scolded by Guo Zhihao, they did not repent but instead used contract termination as a threat to force Guo Zhihao to suppress the newcomer.

After this news was exposed, the public opinion on the internet suddenly exploded.

They all said the internet had no memory, and a large number of netizens who did not know the truth convicted Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue based on just a few videos.

They all thought it was Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue who were jealous of the newcomer that they had a conflict with the company and wanted to leave, and one by one they transformed into messengers of justice, indignantly crusading against these two.

"Nie Jingjing is a bitch; I wouldn't be surprised by anything she does!"

"Don't you think her appearance is mean-spirited? She's just like the most annoying little delinquent girl in school when we were in school..."

"Is the threat of a newcomer that great?"

"Let's not talk about Murong Xue, who just became popular, but Nie Jingjing is the number one sister of Qingguo Music. Even she felt a sense of crisis, so doesn't that mean this newcomer's conditions are particularly strong in all aspects?"

"Should be. I heard that this newcomer, whom Qingguo Music is going to spend a lot of money to groom this time, is very talented in singing. When she first debuted, she participated in a music variety show and was even handpicked by a well-known producer in the industry as the successor to the Heavenly Queen."

"Not only that, this newcomer also has a very good personality, speaks softly, and was very popular when she was a trainee."

"With such an excellent newcomer being groomed by the company, no wonder Nie Jingjing is in a hurry to jump up and down. She doesn't have the Nie family backing her now, and in the future, all the company's resources will be tilted towards the newcomer, so there won't be anything for her!"

"However, don't you find it strange? I can understand Nie Jingjing acting like a big shot and squeezing out newcomers, but Murong Xue is a well-known good girl. Before, when she first entered Producer Han's crew, she wouldn't even make a sound when she was bullied. How could she possibly suppress a newcomer?"

"What's impossible about it? Near vermilion, one gets stained red; near ink, one gets stained black!"

"Exactly! She has been hanging out with Nie Jingjing recently, and anyone who is close to Nie Jingjing is not a good thing!"

"We don't know what the truth is now; be cautious when eating melons!"

"Is the one upstairs a brainless fan of Nie Jingjing? Get out; we don't welcome whitewashing here!"

"Actually, it might not necessarily be Xu Tian taking Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue away. What if these people banded together to suppress the newcomer, and the higher-ups couldn't stand it and kicked them out of the company directly?"

……

There were really fans of Zhou Shishi who were brainwashed, thinking that the company would kick out Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, these two cash cows, for a newcomer who hadn't become popular yet.

And such rumors, through the tireless dissemination of fans, were actually believed by some people.

For a time, the comments on the internet were foul and chaotic, with some feeling sorry for Zhou Shishi, some cursing Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, and others gloating and wanting to see Nie Jingjing and the others get banned.

Of course, these melon-eating netizens were still in the minority. Anyone who mixed in the entertainment industry could easily see that those jumping up and down to sow discord under the videos were all internet trolls.

"Guo Zhihao is really too shameless! Did he take all his family assets to buy internet trolls?"

"Any comments unfavorable to them were all brushed down. With the money to buy internet trolls, it would be better to send Zhou Shishi back to the furnace to repair that snake-spirit face of hers." Yan Qingxue complained while surfing the internet, and immediately received a response.

"Exactly!" Nie Jingjing was indignant, as if she had received a huge humiliation: "And they say I'm jealous of Zhou Shishi? Is my brain flooded? Why would I be jealous of an ugly monster whose eyelids are wider than noodles and whose chin can poke through her chest?"
