Chapter 3327: Full Firepower

Tavana's sudden warning made the makeup artist immediately realize the danger.

Having followed Tavana for so many years, he had never seen her so aggressive before.

He had no doubt about what Tavana said; everyone knows Tavana is the highest-earning singer in the world today, bar none.

Her music licensing to song software, movies, television, and physical record sales worldwide means that the number of people listening to her songs every day is not just in the hundreds of millions but at least tens of millions, and these people, through their actual actions, are creating income for Tavana all over the world like fireflies.

Although the light point of a single firefly may be tiny, know that this is the collective viewpoint of tens of millions or even more people; when they all converge into Tavana's bank account, they will bring her at least millions of dollars in income every day.

These copyright revenues cannot be taken away by any person or group; even if Tavana faces a global boycott due to some remarks in the future, as long as someone listens to her songs, those platforms must still pay her copyright royalties.

It's like J. K. Rowling: the Harry Potter actors can attack and criticize her, but they can never separate her name from this work, because as long as people are reading her books, buying her books, or adapting her stories, she will receive the royalties she deserves.

If Tavana chooses to lie flat at her current age of around thirty, she can live the most top-notch and luxurious life for the rest of her life.

For a makeup artist like him who lives off reputation and personal premium, qualifications and reputation are his rice bowl; once qualifications run into trouble or reputation collapses, he will completely lose the social status he painstakingly built.

Makeup artists have no copyright income; once no one hires him, he will run out of ammunition and provisions.

At this moment, he was already very wary in his heart, fearing that Tavana would really go head-to-head with him to the end, so he immediately changed his attitude and said fawningly and full of apology: "Tavana, I'm sorry, I was just muddle-headed earlier; we've worked together for so many years, you should know I'm just an idealist, so please don't hold my ignorance against me... As long as you give me another chance, I will wholeheartedly serve you, and I can completely put aside those positions and ideologies..."

Tavana said disdainfully: "Forget it, Kevin, I've already seen your face clearly just now; you're not an idealist at all, you're just a thoroughgoing egoist, your eyes only see your own interests, you're currently harmless, merely realizing your fangs can't match mine, so from now on, I hope we have no further contact; if you can keep your mouth shut and not spout nonsense outside, you can tell everyone our parting was amicable, and you can even tell everyone you've grown tired of working with me, but if you dare say a word unfavorable to me, I'll make it impossible for you to stand in the entire entertainment industry!"

Speaking, Tavana raised her voice slightly and said sternly: "Kevin, remember, if you are a rotten, stinking egg, then I, Tavana Sweet, am a gold mountain! Not only is our value vastly different, but our hardness is also worlds apart! If you, a mere stinking egg, dare to bump into a gold mountain, your end will inevitably be shattered to pieces! And as for me, my greatest loss would at most be feeling nauseated by your stench!"

After saying this, Tavana ignored him and turned to her manager, saying coldly: "Call Eddie, tell him to fly to Tokyo tomorrow, and from now on he will be my makeup artist!"

The manager was also stunned by Tavana's aggression today, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll call him right away!"

Kevin beside him turned pale, his heart filled with regret, fear, and anxiety; he had never seen Tavana so aggressive before, and he himself was indeed completely overwhelmed by her aura.

Knowing he could not afford to provoke Tavana, he could only slink away in embarrassment into the bathroom; he still had many personal items in the makeup room, but at this moment he dared not go near Tavana's bad luck, so he could only hide in the bathroom, waiting for Tavana to leave before packing up and departing Japan.

Originally, he really wanted to take revenge on Tavana, even planning to use his identity as Tavana's makeup artist to spread smears against her, preferably being able to portray her as a hypocritical and deceitful villain through his own words.

He had even already thought of the entry point: directly telling all LGBT groups as a homosexual that Tavana does not truly care about them, nor is she really seeking any benefits for them, but is merely using them to virtue-signal herself.

Coupled with Tavana's unusual silence tonight on LGBT issues, this became his best assist.

But now, he has completely abandoned this idea.

Tavana's powerful aura and her threatening demeanor full of deadly intent have already made him utterly timid; he can only choose to accept Tavana's suggestion, leave honestly and meekly, at least still able to boast the title of Tavana's former exclusive makeup artist.

At this moment, Tavana told her manager: "One more thing: tonight you tell everyone on the team to cancel all vacation plans; for the next month, I want to hold ten concerts in China, and everyone can only take vacation after these ten concerts are over!"

The manager was stunned and blurted: "Hold ten concerts in China?! Tavana, such a large-scale performance plan, why notify only now? Much work needs advance coordination and preparation; this time window is too rushed... Moreover, moreover everyone thought they'd be on vacation after the Tokyo concerts ended, so everyone already booked flights from Tokyo to destinations worldwide; if we now tell everyone to cancel vacation plans, I'm afraid everyone will find it hard to accept..."

Tavana said calmly: "Notifying you now is because this matter was only decided today; as for the rushed timeline, that's something you need to figure out how to overcome; China is close to Tokyo, and the equipment we're bringing for this concert can be directly shipped to China after the shows; for equipment needing local coordination in China, you can start working on it now; if you lack resources in China, that's fine—you can hire a broker to help, it's just a matter of spending more money, which is no problem;"

"As for the team vacation issue, you will later inform everyone that everyone who stays to accompany me in completing these ten concerts will receive five times their salary; if the ten performances conclude smoothly without major incidents, I will additionally give each person two months' salary as a bonus; furthermore, after the performances end, I will personally pay for them to receive a first-class ticket to any destination in the world, and also give them twenty days of vacation,"

After hearing this, the manager was completely dumbfounded.

Working one month extra would earn five months' salary; doing well would earn seven months' salary—this temptation is truly enormous, equivalent to making up for half a year's usual income in just this month!

Such generous salary rewards, I believe the vast majority of people would not be able to walk away from.

Thus, he said somewhat excitedly: "Okay, Tavana, I'll shortly gather the whole team for a meeting and tell everyone about this."

Tavana nodded and said lightly: "Before midnight tonight, make the list—clearly tally who wants to stay and who doesn't, and hand it to me."

The manager hurriedly said: "No problem, I'll have the list ready for you before tonight!"

Tavana said nothing more, turned, and entered her own makeup room.

At this moment, as someone entered the makeup room, Tavana suddenly felt her mood brighten and open up.

The earlier remarks were not her usual style; it was only when facing Kevin's shameless petty face that she suddenly recalled Ye Chen's confidence during their debate, as well as his mighty aura when he saved her and subdued Mitsui Yoshitaka.

She also didn't know where this sudden inspiration came from, but recalling Ye Chen's words and deeds, she unconsciously enacted a live demonstration of learning and applying on the spot, and this also made her discover a new continent—this way of facing enemies with full aura and no mercy truly made her mood delightful and exhilarating!

At this time, a light knocking came from outside the door; Trevor asked somewhat cautiously: "Tavana, may I come in?"

Tavana blurted: "Come in!"

Trevor pushed the door open, then hurriedly closed it, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Tavana, you handled that brilliantly just now; I thought Kevin would definitely cause trouble if he turned against you, but I never expected you to actually scare him into submission!"

Tavana said: "I'm not just scaring him; if he dares to do that, I will certainly smash his rice bowl with my own hands!"
