Chapter 88: Xu Tian Steps Forward

"No!"

Zhou Ping couldn't sit still and hurriedly spoke.

"Once an out-of-court settlement is reached, wouldn't it be more solidifying this groundless charge? Yiran hasn't done those things, he shouldn't bear such slander."

"Which is more important, preserving Shang Yiran's reputation alone or preserving the reputation of Tian Feng Entertainment?"

A middle-aged man sitting diagonally opposite Zhou Ping said coldly: "Are we going to smash the rice bowls of all the artists in the company for the sake of Shang Yiran alone?"

Zhou Ping said angrily: "Du Xiaowei, what do you mean by smashing other artists' rice bowls? Shang Yiran didn't threaten a minor, he is clean and innocent, why should he admit to other people's slander?"

"Heh..."

Du Xiaowei sneered, his eyes filled with disdain as he snorted coldly:

"Zhou Ping, you are a big manager anyway, why are you still so naive? Do you still think that Shang Yiran's reputation is the only one damaged now? If his scandal doesn't subside, it will implicate the entire company, and even the reputation of other artists will be affected. You want to return justice to him, but do you have evidence to prove his innocence?"

"You don't even have evidence, so saying anything is useless!"

"Right now, settling the matter and choosing an out-of-court settlement with Li Qiang's family is the best way. Later, we will send some water armies to wash it white. There is so much news in the entertainment industry every day, and it won't be long before no one mentions this matter again."

The senior executives nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"I think Xiaowei is right. We can't affect the reputation of other artists in the entertainment industry because of Shang Yiran alone."

"Currently, several popular artists under our company have not been affected yet, but some small actors have been returned by the crew one after another. The crew doesn't want to take risks either."

"This kind of thing, if it drags on, is definitely not a good thing for the company and other artists."

After one person spoke, other managers complained one after another, and in their words, they all blamed Zhou Ping and Shang Yiran for dragging their artists' resources.

Zhou Ping looked at everyone's crusade against him with a livid face, so angry he couldn't say a word.

Before, when Shang Yiran was popular, these managers and artists all wanted to drag him to hype, rushing to curry favor, and the company also used Shang Yiran's heat to bring a lot of job opportunities to other unknown small singers.

As a result, now these people not only don't know how to be grateful, but instead dislike Shang Yiran for dragging their hind legs.

Du Xiaowei saw that other senior executives agreed with his opinion, and a smile that was not easily noticeable hooked on his lips.

Then he pretended to turn his head to look at Guo Qishan, asking for his opinion:

"Guo Zong, this matter ultimately requires you to make the decision, but it concerns the development and future of the company, so it's not the time to care about old feelings."

Guo Qishan naturally couldn't bear to part with Shang Yiran's commercial value. The artists the company worked hard to cultivate, it was finally able to make money in the past two years, but it was about to face the fate of being banned and frozen. No one would be reconciled.

But at the same time, he was also very clear that Shang Yiran's reputation was completely ruined. Even if the relationship was finally judged to be innocent, the damaged reputation during this period could not be restored.

If you don't cut it off at this time, it is very likely to implicate other artists in the company.

Zhou Ping saw that Guo Qishan seemed to be moved by Du Xiaowei, his heart sank, and he hurriedly spoke:

"Guo Zong, you must believe Yiran, he couldn't have done such a beastly thing. It was Li Qiang and his family who instigated the little girl to lie, which was clearly trying to blackmail."

"Even if you choose to give money to settle privately, they will be greedy and make waves again later, then Yiran's future and life will be completely ruined!"

Du Xiaowei smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "Zhou Ping, why are you still not enlightened? The root of the problem now is not whether Shang Yiran has done those things."

"What we need to do now is how to minimize the company's losses. Public opinion is biased toward the weak and has already convicted Shang Yiran. If our company favors Shang Yiran, it will only make outside netizens transfer their anger to the entire company."

"Du Xiaowei! You..."

Zhou Ping was about to argue with Du Xiaowei, but saw Guo Qishan cough heavily.

He directly raised his hand to stop the words Zhou Ping was about to say.

"Zhou Ping, now is really not the time to be impulsive. As Du Xiaowei said, whether Shang Yiran is innocent or not is no longer what we need to consider. The top priority is that we should minimize the negative impact of this storm on the company."

Guo Qishan's words were equivalent to sentencing Shang Yiran to death. Zhou Ping's face was pale, his body was swaying, and he subconsciously grabbed Shang Yiran's arm beside him.

And Shang Yiran's expression was terrifyingly calm.

He should have known the company's position long ago, right?

For the company, he was just a commodity. The company didn't care at all whether he was innocent, only whether he could make money.

Once he, this commodity, was splashed with sewage, the company would not spend effort to wipe away the sewage and pursue the responsibility of the perpetrator, but would only let him, this commodity without value, fend for himself.

Guo Qishan saw that Shang Yiran didn't speak, nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed, comforting:

"Shang Yiran, the company can understand your mood very well, but we have to settle the matter to protect the overall situation. Du Xiaowei, you go find Li Qiang's family privately..."

"Creak!"

However, before Guo Qishan could finish his words, the tightly closed conference room door was suddenly pushed open. Qian Qian Chao Shuo

Then, a handsome young man with a slender figure walked in from outside with a leisurely pace.

"Sorry, did I disturb your meeting?"

However, although the young man said so, there was no hint of apology on his face.

Moreover, he had no intention of retreating at all, but walked into the conference room slowly, and then his gaze swept over everyone in the conference room one by one.

Then, he smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Tian, and I am a new employee who came to report today."

"Where did you pop out from?"

Watching Xu Tian interrupt Guo Qishan's words, Du Xiaowei's face was as gloomy as if he was going to kill someone.

"Didn't you see we are having a meeting? Get out!"

However, Guo Qishan didn't lose his composure like Du Xiaowei.

He sized up Xu Tian carefully, and then asked: "You are a new employee who came to report today?"

Just this morning, Gu Beicheng did call him, saying that someone would come to the company to help handle the crisis of Shang Yiran.

But Gu Beicheng said on the phone that the person sent was just an ordinary employee, and he didn't need to treat him differently.

However, even if this person was just an ordinary employee, he was the existence that Gu Beicheng could personally call to inform him, so he had to treat him cautiously.

"That's right."

Xu Tian nodded slightly, and didn't sell it, directly getting straight to the point: "Guo Zong, I heard that our company's artist Shang Yiran was involved in a scandal of molesting and sexually assaulting a minor. I have a way to minimize the company's losses." ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
