Chapter 403: Incident

He looked sour and bitter, tears of regret streaming down his face.

Jiang Cheng fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Cheng's gaze fell on the agent beside him: "Tell me, what exactly is going on here?"

"Everything was fine—how did we suddenly run into this?" Jiang Cheng's voice lowered slightly; it was clear he was angry.

Jiang Cheng was holding it in.

The artist before him, who had not yet debuted, had cost Jiang Cheng a lot of money.

However, just as the debut was approaching, an accident occurred?

It would be strange if Jiang Cheng weren't angry.

The agent also wore a guilty expression: "Sorry, I failed to protect him." The agent felt awful and recounted the whole story from beginning to end to Jiang Cheng.

After learning the cause, Jiang Cheng became furious.

"Didn't I tell you before not to take anything strangers give you outside? Once you eat it, you can't be sure whether it will harm you!" Jiang Cheng felt frustrated, thinking they were all foolish.

I reminded them clearly—why do they treat my warnings as wind in the ears?

He was very angry.

When Jiang Cheng got angry, both the agent and the artist who hadn't truly debuted shed tears of regret.

The man's face was full of shame.

They remained motionless, afraid to speak.

Jiang Cheng's reproach made their hearts feel increasingly miserable, near breaking point.

Jiang Cheng said: "I told you to listen, but you treated my words as wind in the ears—now look, the accident has happened directly."

"I also thought the person was his fan—who would have guessed the gift they gave would cause such a problem?" The agent explained embarrassedly, "This time I've truly learned my lesson!"

"Fortunately, it doesn't endanger his life; it will only make his voice uncomfortable for two or three days, after which it should return to normal." The agent let out a sigh of relief on that point.

As long as it's nothing serious, that's good!

As long as he can recover later, that's fine.

However——

Jiang Cheng's words plunged the two into an abyss.

"You haven't even debuted yet, and besides, nobody outside the company knows you're an artist. How could you have fans?"

The artist, who had been crying hysterically, went utterly blank at Jiang Cheng's words, standing frozen in place.

Yeah!

You haven't debuted yet—where would fans come from?

Moreover, Jiang Cheng is rather cautious.

Especially the PR department does an excellent job.

As for these artists in the company, their identities and appearances have never been leaked.

So why would there be fans?

That person's face instantly turned deathly pale.

He panicked completely, flustered and disoriented.

"Then I…" the artist said, eyes red and swollen, hardly able to believe what he was hearing.

It's too cruel!

Every word left him speechless.

"You two are just stupid—how could you be so easily duped? I'm wondering if you actually have brains." Jiang Cheng's gaze involuntarily fell on both of them, wandering back and forth in bewilderment.

He really wanted to see what answer they would give.

In the end, neither of them uttered a sound.

Judging by Jiang Cheng's earlier remarks, they had also been dealt a heavy blow. They fell silent.

"Boss, you're right—I was indeed careless this time, how could I be so foolish to believe them? What should I do now? The competition starts tomorrow, but my condition……"

How can I participate?

He despaired!

Jiang Cheng said coldly: "Because you don't learn from your mistakes, this time you can say you're paying for your own error."

"By the way, let me remind you: do you really think you'll recover? These substances will inevitably harm your voice to some extent; even if you feel better in two or three days, you won't actually believe your voice will return to how it was before, will you?"

What?

That person stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

He was just feeling dazed.

"No!"

"Boss, you have to save me—I really want to debut as an artist; I don't want to be ruined before I even debut!" He begged Jiang Cheng repeatedly, his voice hoarse, tears streaming down his face.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

"I'd love to help you too, but the problem is I'm not a doctor—I have no way to fix your voice."

!

"What do you say I should do to help you now?"

Upon hearing that his voice had a problem, Jiang Cheng knew from the start that this would not end well.

The facts proved exactly what the boy had thought.

Upon hearing those words, someone felt dazed.

He instantly despaired.

His eyes rolled back.

He completely fainted.

He was again sent to the emergency rescue.

As for the agent, Jiang Cheng felt it was very necessary to reconsider whether this person in front of him was suitable to be an agent.

The agent had nothing to say.

He knew he was anxious; how much trouble did this cause Jiang Cheng this time?

Guilty, he remained silent the whole time.

"Don't think that by staying silent this time, the matter will just blow over." Jiang Cheng glanced at him, then continued to remind him: "As an agent, you should have warned him from the start; you should have anticipated these problems, but you didn't."

"You not only didn't, but even watched him take the substance, ultimately causing a great disaster!"

Being singled out for criticism by Jiang Cheng, the agent gave a bitter smile.

"Lao ban, what you said is especially right; I really was foolish this time."

"Such a simple problem, I never expected to end up messing it up so badly, even causing someone's voice to be destroyed."

"I know, I can't make up for anything now, so I don't want to speak; I'm really scared right now..."

"At just over thirty years old, how could such a thing happen? How could one not be afraid, not panic?"

He was terrified.

Trembling all over, his whole body shook violently.

He was also very desperate.

Jiang Cheng said: "Just knowing is enough."

"This time, I know you've learned your lesson, but your situation is really serious, so I will carefully consider whether you are suitable to continue staying at the company; if not, then you… had better leave the company as soon as possible!"

"As for some issues, I won't pursue them against you."

Jiang Cheng originally wanted to pursue his responsibility, but after thinking about how the other party's family was already impoverished, if he pursued this further, would he even have a life left to live?

It might just be driving him into a desperate situation.
