Chapter 626: Not quite appropriate

~7 min read 1,349 words

"On such a happy day, let's not talk about things that spoil the mood." Nie Jingjing was eager to see the people from Giant Star get slapped in the face, and at the same time, she didn't forget to urge Xu Tian, "Mr. Xu, you should call my male god now, right?"

Xu Tian coughed lightly: "Wait a little longer."

"I've waited for more than a year, how much longer do I have to wait..." Nie Jingjing slumped on the table in depression. "Mr. Xu, you have such a cruel heart..."

"..."

The people around were silent for a few seconds, then Yan Qingxue suddenly spoke to Qin Yuqing.

"Why don't you find her a comedy crew to contact?"

Qin Yuqing: "Received!"

While Xu Tian and the others were eating at the top-floor cafe, Yan Hongyu supported Yan Family Patriarch and Elder Yan Lao Taitai as they arrived at the hotel banquet hall.

These two elders were old, and originally wouldn't have attended a banquet that started at ten o'clock, but because the artists from Yan Qingxue's company had suddenly won three major awards, which completely exceeded their expectations, they decided to attend in person to congratulate Yan Qingxue.

Yan Hongyu acted in front of the two elders as if he were also very happy that his cousin's company's artists had won awards, saying it was all an achievement for the Yan family, but in reality, he was furious inside, cursing Yan Qingxue, that cheap woman who tried to fight him for the family property, thousands of times.

"Hongyu, Giant Star's annual report this year doesn't look very good." Yan Family Patriarch said while walking inside. "Did you put all your resources into one or two people and ignore the other artists? In that case, once that person doesn't win an award, the previous investment will be in vain."

"Grandfather is right, I have already learned my lesson." Yan Hongyu replied submissively.

He had indeed pinned all his hopes on the Best Male and Female Singers; to him, other awards were just icing on the cake, and it didn't matter if they didn't have them, as their gold content couldn't compare to the Best Male and Female Singers at all.

"Look at Qingxue, how long has her company been open, and it already has some momentum." Elder Yan Lao Taitai took over the conversation. "She is your cousin, with a double degree in marketing and design from a prestigious Western Alliance university, and experience working at the grassroots level. If there is anything you don't understand, ask her for more advice; Qingxue will be willing to teach you."

"I naturally want to ask my cousin for more advice, I'm just afraid that my cousin has prejudices against me and won't be willing to teach me." Yan Hongyu suppressed the frustration in his heart and pretended to be hesitant.

"Qingxue is not that kind of person." Elder Yan Lao Taitai was somewhat displeased. "Your mother has a narrow vision, don't be influenced by her."

"Mm, I know." Yan Hongyu's attempt to be clever backfired. He lowered his head, hiding the jealousy in his eyes, and continued to accompany the two elders into the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.

"Chairman Yan! Madam Chairman!"

When everyone saw the two Yan elders, they all took the initiative to step forward and greet them.

Although Yan Family Patriarch, the chairman, was now in a semi-retired state and basically wouldn't go to the company except for the group's annual board meeting, given his status, many artists still wanted to take the initiative to get familiar with him.

"Hello everyone." Yan Family Patriarch didn't have any airs and greeted the artists who came over one by one.

"Chairman Yan! Madam Chairman... It is our honor that you could grace us with your presence." The organizers' top brass received the news and came down one after another to welcome them.

The arrival of the two Yan elders was an unexpected surprise for them.

Tonight's celebration banquet already had the King and Queen of Song present, and with the addition of the chairman of the Yan Group, their Golden Melody Awards this time could be considered complete.

"This Golden Melody Awards was an upset, with Flourishing Stars Media sweeping three heavyweight professional awards. Their boss, Manager Yan, can also be considered a rare rising star in the entertainment industry..."

"I know." Yan Family Patriarch smiled and said when he heard the top brass praising Yan Qingxue, "Qingxue is my granddaughter."

"What?" The top brass were shocked.

No one had expected Yan Qingxue to be Yan Family Patriarch's granddaughter. Did that mean she was the daughter of Yan Jinsong, the eldest son of the Yan family who had been kicked out of the family back then?

This news was no less than the upset at the Golden Melody Awards tonight.

"Where are Qingxue and the others?" Yan Family Patriarch was surrounded by the top brass and sat at the main table. "They should be at the celebration banquet tonight, right?"

"Of course, they are the protagonists of the celebration banquet." The top brass wiped the sweat from their foreheads, feeling incredibly fortunate that they had used their connections with Elder Guo to invite Yan Qingxue and the others back.

"Eh? Strange, they were just here a moment ago, maybe they went to the restroom?" A top executive looked around in surprise.

Even if they went to the restroom, the whole company couldn't have gone collectively.

"Chairman Yan, please sit for a while, I'll go take a look."

A top executive immediately ran to the cold food area where the artists were gathered and grabbed someone at random to ask.

"Have you seen the people from Flourishing Stars Media?"

"Have you seen Yan Qingxue and Xu Tian?"

"No." The person shook their head.

The executive wouldn't give up and continued to ask a few more people, but none of them knew the whereabouts of Xu Tian and the others.

Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately called his assistant over.

"Go to the restroom and look! There are so many people from Flourishing Stars Media, they can't have collectively evaporated!"

"What are they doing? The celebration banquet is about to start, and the protagonists are all missing. Is this appropriate!"

The little assistant ran out in a hurry and ran back a while later, covered in sweat.

"Where are they? Did you find them?"

"No..." The little assistant was so flustered that he started stuttering. "Th... that... I..."

"Speak properly!" The executive was so angry that he slapped the little assistant on the back.

"I asked around, and they said Xu Tian and the others were kicked out because they didn't have invitations." The little assistant was startled, and his stuttering problem was cured.

"What?" The executive roared in disbelief. "Which bastard kicked them out?"

"It is said to be people from Giant Star Media..."

After hearing the little assistant's words, the executive fell silent.

People from Giant Star Media kicked Xu Tian and the others out. Was this authorized by Little Manager Yan?

You can fight within your family, but can you close the door and fight on your own turf? Don't drag us into it!

Just as this executive was about to cry, another executive hurried over.

"What's going on? Haven't found them yet?"

"They were kicked out."

"What?" The executive who arrived later went black in the eyes and almost fainted.

In the end, the two had no choice but to send someone to quietly call Yan Hongyu over.

"Little Manager Yan, we must have people from Flourishing Stars present at this celebration banquet. I know you might have some misunderstandings with them, but tonight, can you..."

"What are you talking about?" Yan Hongyu frowned; he couldn't understand at all.

Seeing that Yan Hongyu was still playing dumb, the executive couldn't care about decency anymore and directly stated the point.

"Little Manager Yan, I think your approach of kicking Xu Tian and the others out this time is not quite appropriate." ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
