NOVEL NEXT Chapter 297: Mainly Because He Wasn't That Powerful at the Time
Soon.
Wang Ye and his group arrived at the venue of the banquet.
It was a celebration party hosted by the Suye Group.
Wang Ye had booked the entire hotel, so the employees involved in the Suye Group's event could have a great time here.
As for the employees from Yun City,
Wang Ye had given each of them three hundred yuan directly.
At that moment,
Wang Ye, Fang Feifei, Xia Qingxin, Li Ying, Zhao Min, Su Wanqing, and Su Yuanqiao, seven of them, settled at the place.
"Boss Wang."
The seven of them had just sat down
when a sultry voice rang out. Hearing it, Wang Ye immediately knew who it was.
Li Tiaoye.
Wang Ye looked towards the direction of the voice. Li Tiaoye and Lü Zhouyi were walking towards him.
Wang Ye smiled as he stood up, greeting Li Tiaoye and Lü Zhouyi:
"Come on, have a seat, please take a seat."
While speaking, he arranged seats for Li Tiaoye and Lü Zhouyi.
Li Tiaoye glanced at Fang Feifei, Su Wanqing, Xia Qingxin, Li Ying, and Zhao Min, then playfully shifted her gaze back to Wang Ye, saying:
"Let me guess, among these five women, there must be some who are Boss Wang's women."
"Let me guess who they might be."
"Xia Qingxin, the chairman of Xia Qing Group, reputedly Boss Wang's senior, so let's rule her out first. Fang Feifei, the current head of the Fang Family, yes, that should be her!"
"Su Wanqing, there's no need to guess this one, just thinking about it makes it obvious, Li Ying... Zhao Min..."
Seeing Li Tiaoye wanting to continue guessing, Wang Ye somewhat resignedly addressed her:
"Alright, enough guessing. Li Ying and Zhao Min, both of them are my seniors; Fang Feifei and Su Wanqing, they are my women."
"Alright."
Wang Ye then turned to Lü Zhouyi and greeted him.
...
Que Ming Entertainment Headquarters.
Yu Shaohua walked into the chairman's office in a fit of rage, casually threw his phone onto the coffee table, and slumped into the chair, breathing heavily.
Seeing Yu Shaohua's behavior, Li Yuhang looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? What happened again? Is the new drama not going well, to upset you like this?"
"Just check Weibo trending topics. Zhao Min is trending on Weibo," the reclining Yu Shaohua said irritably.
Upon hearing Yu Shaohua's words, both Li Yuhang and Li Tianning frowned slightly.
"That's impossible."
Li Tianning spoke up, to him, the idea of Zhao Min trending at this time seemed utterly implausible.
After all, Zhao Min currently had no ongoing operations, no new drama, no movies, no variety shows.
Under these circumstances,
how could Zhao Min possibly trend?
They started checking the Weibo trending topics.
In the Weibo trending topics.
They were almost entirely dominated by details related to Wang Ye's summary meeting with Suye Group.
Even a certain singer's concert that got covered in the trending topics was, in fact, related to Suye Group's matters.
Within these trending topics, the name Zhao Min abruptly appeared.
"I must say, Wang Ye's maneuver at the Suye Group's summary meeting was truly impressive," Li Yuhang praised as he observed Wang Ye's performances at the meeting on Weibo.
"This move, as netizens have said, watching the Suye Group's summary meeting was indeed much more worthwhile than attending certain singers' concerts."
As Li Yuhang spoke, his facial expression became solemn and serious.
Li Yuhang looked at Yu Shaohua and began to speak to him:
"Recently, there's been a continous stream of information about Wang Ye online, and you often scroll through Weibo's hot search, so you must be aware of it."
"Just from Weibo's hot search, one can tell he's an extraordinary person."
"And, his current achievements are just the beginning."
"What follows, as his development progresses, no one knows what kind of person he could become."
"So…"
As Li Yuhang spoke, he stood up, walked over to Yu Shaohua, and said assertively, "Apologize to him, such a person should not be offended if we can avoid it."
"No way."
Yu Shaohua shook his head.
"Why not?"
Yu Shaohua's words caused a flash of annoyance on Li Yuhang's face, a person like Wang Ye should not be offended if possible.
Moreover, from the very beginning, it was Yu Shaohua who was in the wrong, and now that he refused to apologize, he was defying Li Yuhang himself.
"I've already publicized the ban on Zhao Min, apologizing to Wang Ye now would be like slapping my own face, as well as the face of Que Ming Entertainment," Yu Shaohua said.
"Once this gets out, how will the rest of the entertainment industry view Que Ming Entertainment?"
Upon hearing Yu Shaohua's words, Li Tianning looked at Li Yuhang and said, "Brother, Director Yu also has a point. We've just spread the news about banning Zhao Min, and if we apologize to Wang Ye and Zhao Min now, everyone in the entertainment industry will look down on us."
Li Yuhang fell into silence.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yu Shaohua added, "No matter what, however much Wang Ye progresses, he's still an outsider to the entertainment industry, not one of us."
"So, no matter how he develops, he cannot affect our circle, so we don't need to fear him."
Li Tianning also urged him on the side:
"Yeah, brother, even if he knows people in the entertainment industry and wants to use them against us, given our strength in the industry, could he really use them to harm us?"
The words of Yu Shaohua and Li Tianning made Li Yuhang nod. "Alright, let it be for now."
After speaking, Li Yuhang looked at Yu Shaohua and warned him:
"Also, if you ever cause troubles like this again, you just try me!"
"You can mess with female celebrities or whatever, I don't care, but when you offend someone, you better check their background and identity next time, don't offend someone troublesome like this again!"
"The main issue was that when I offended him, he wasn't as powerful as he is now." Upon saying this, Yu Shaohua's own face showed signs of distress.
...
For a moment, even Li Yuhang didn't know what to say.
Indeed.
Not so long ago, Wang Ye was just a liquor seller, not even sure to rise to prominence.
Yet, in just less than a month's time, he had risen to this impressive status.
