Chapter 584: He Wants to Take Credit
In the office of Vice President of Zhiya Entertainment, Director Kong stood, his head hung low, like a child being lectured.
“What were you thinking when you signed the contract? Promising her everything?!” Vice President Bai Guanghui was furious. “The President is not here now, but when he comes back, how am I going to explain this to him? How is he going to explain this to the major shareholders behind him?”
Director Kong felt a bit like he was being treated unfairly. The contract with Ling Tianya had been reviewed by Bai Guanghui. Now he was putting all the blame on him alone and making him the scapegoat.
Although he thought this in his heart, Director Kong didn’t dare to speak up. He smiled. “Well, Vice President Bai, you can rest assured that I have found a solution.”
“What solution?” Bai Guanghui coldly glared at Director Kong. “Is it having that idiot Shan Feifei post that stuff on Weibo? Did you see how many people were talking sh*t about us on the official website? The President called me this morning and asked me what was going on, and I had nothing to say!”
Director Kong smiled flatteringly. “Vice President Bai, here’s the thing. There is a clear clause in our contract with Ling Tianya that if the film cannot be made properly due to Ling Tianya’s personal reasons, we have the right to remove her from the key creative team. Which means, as long as Ling Tianya is out, we can do whatever we want with this film, don’t you agree?”
“Is that so? Is there such a clause in the contract?” Bai Guanghui paused. “Why didn’t I know about it?”
What could you know if you spend all day courting young actresses? Director Kong berated Bai Guanghui in his head. “I have made an appointment with Ling Tianya to meet at the company today. The purpose is to discuss this. Everyone resorts to the contract, and we can have a civil breakup. The bottom line is I won’t let Guan Meiyi play the heroine.”
“Okay.” Bai Guanghui nodded with satisfaction. “Well, I am going with you today to see what kind of tricks she dares to play.”
Hearing that Bai Guanghui wanted to go with himself, Director Kong pouted. It was obvious that he wanted to take credit for this solution. When the President asked later, he would definitely say that it was his idea. The mess was made by the film and television department, but the solution was his idea. In the end, the one taking the blame would still be the film and television department.
Director Kong was not happy about that, but he couldn’t say anything and could only say yes.
Outside of Bai Guanghui’s office, Director Kong’s face suddenly turned gloomy. Back in his office, a group of people were waiting anxiously.
“How did it go? What did Vice President Bai say?” asked the film director.
“What else can he say?” Director Kong sounded pissed. “He is going to meet with me and Ling Tianya in the afternoon. It happens every time. You will never find him when it’s time to do things. But when it’s time to get credit, he’s ahead of everybody!”
“Don’t be angry, Director Kong. At least the problem has been solved, hasn’t it?” Yi Tian said with a smile.
“That’s true. I should thank you this time for thinking of using this trick to fight Ling Tianya,” Director Kong said gently.
“You don’t have to thank me. Shan Feifei posted it on Weibo and the netizens pushed Ling Tianya to the top of the news cycle. It really has nothing to do with me,” Yi Tian said casually.
In Director Kong’s ears, those words made him tremble a bit.
He looked at Yi Tian pensively. This woman was not simple. She was clearly out of her mind. It was she who had said that they should spread the rumor that Ling Tianya used her power to oppress people while the rumor about her grandmother was still hot out there, and that Guan Meiyi got the role because of personal connections. Maybe that would be enough to push Ling Tianya over the edge.
