Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 221 needs to have an examination.

Chapter 221: 221 needs to have an examination.

More importantly, this studio has managed to push out a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry this year!

Even though he was Zhongxing’s top dog and could be considered a front-line star in the entertainment industry, he still fell short of being top-tier... If he had joined, the glory would have undoubtedly fallen on him!

Some people never look for problems within themselves. Once they encounter obstacles, they naturally blame all their troubles on others.

Blaming the heavens, the earth, ill-fortune, or the rise of the unworthy—anything but their own flaws.

Chi Xianlin was exactly this kind of person.

Meng Yinge was aware of the grudge between Chi Xianlin and Yan Yueqing. Leaning slightly against the seat, she said with a hint of sarcasm, "No matter what, Yan Yueqing really does have good fortune! When she first entered the entertainment circle, she impersonated Second Miss Yan and got officially slapped in the face, such a big handle was caught, and yet the other party let it go... I’ve also heard that the Lin Family from the capital city spoke out to suppress her! What kind of power does the Lin Family wield? Yet she stubbornly stayed in the entertainment industry like Xiao Qiang, and now she’s hit it big with a kid’s variety show."

Chi Xianlin dismissed the notion, "Just clinging onto some golden thigh."

"What kind of golden thigh could give her a billion to start a foundation? With a bit more, she could buy Zhongxing, right?" Meng Yinge shook her head, disagreeing with him, "Besides, my assistant told me that not long ago, she appeared in a live-stream of a rich family’s nanny, and Cute Baby admitted that it was Yan Yueqing’s home."

"There are plenty of white, rich, and beautiful personas in the circle." Chi Xianlin clenched his fists, "But have you ever seen a true white, rich, and beautiful woman willing to enter the entertainment industry? I still remember how she trapped me back then..."

Meng Yinge, with a smile, spoke the truth, "Are you holding a grudge?"

"I just remember the incident, not holding any grudge," Chi Xianlin hypocritically denied.

Meng Yinge looked at him teasingly, "Whatever you say, regardless, Yan Yueqing’s family must be wealthy. Maybe she really is Second Miss Yan, you know? Maybe the Yan Family’s statement back then... was to force her to return home?"

Chi Xianlin was skeptical, lifting his head arrogantly, "You’re not going to tell me... that she’s involve in Zhongxing’s recent acquisition, are you?"

"That’s what everyone’s been saying, otherwise how would she dare to suddenly announce her retirement?" Meng Yinge said, "Some people are simply born lucky, treated like Little Princesses at home, mix around outside for a few years and are still pampered with money to come back home~

Even if we take a step back and assume she isn’t from the Yan Family, and that her talk of retirement recently was true, then her luck is just too good! Just after she said it, Zhongxing undergoes reform. If Zhongxing’s future development is as Director Tang’s Weibo said, she might even leave the company without losing a single penny."

"So what?" Chi Xianlin responded indifferently. "I’m certain, she’s not really retiring! Zhongxing has made a big show of mysteriously going around in circles, they may still end up promoting Yan Yueqing."

"In that case, you should’ve been all the more careful not to offend her," Meng Yinge advised earnestly.

She knew that as soon as Yan Yueqing arrived today, she headed straight for the guest lounge.

The guest lounge is only different from the conference room in name, but inside, it’s a world apart.

The guest lounge on the fifteenth floor is only accessible to those of significant status.

Usually, even they had no chance of going up there, but today Yan Yueqing was there with the Cute Baby...

"Our new boss is a man in his fifties," Chi Xianlin hinted meaningfully.

Meng Yinge knew he was suggesting that Yan Yueqing climbed up the ranks through her beauty, she sighed, "In this business, we see all sorts of people, and I know Brother Lin that you’re a bit discontent. Out of the kindness, from when you helped me before, I must advise you not to go against her."

They were all cunning folks; even the ordinary staff knew that Yan Yueqing was extraordinary in her actions, so how could they not be privy to these scoops?

Meng Yinge prided herself on her integrity, unable to change with the wind like Li Manman. At the very least, she had to warn Chi Xianlin a couple of times.

Whether he listened or not, that was his business.

It was clear that Chi Xianlin did not take it to heart.

Yan Yueqing had money, but in the past, she had broken her promise, nearly causing him to fall into an irredeemable abyss... Now, she may have whitewashed herself using substantial funds and some operations, but could that erase the years he struggled?

Chi Xianlin gritted his teeth in frustration.

So what if Yan Yueqing had connections with Zhongxing?

If Zhongxing underwent reform and it was possible to terminate contracts unconditionally, he would leave without a second thought.

Not only Chi Xianlin thought this way, but the majority of the staff also adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

Reform is such an esoteric concept! If it truly touched upon major changes, even the company’s operations could become problematic, not to mention its attempt to be a paragon, which would be squeezed out by competitors.

Recently, quite a few people had been secretly contacting other companies, just waiting for Zhongxing to allow for reasonable termination so they could jump ship.

Therefore, everyone was filled with anticipation and anxiety about the general meeting.

In the midst of anxious waiting, the meeting finally started, and Director Tang took the stage as the host.

He disliked small talk and, after a brief introduction, cut straight to the matter of reform.

"Firstly, about the issue of contracts, the company typically signs annual contracts with department employees, while for special departments and artists it can be three or even seven years. I’m sure you all have your own feelings about this. Following the legal department’s research and revisions, we will treat all department employees equally, changing to annual contracts for everyone."

Even with prior knowledge, the tension was palpable until the corporate leader formally announced it.

Now, every word Director Tang spoke through the microphone heavily struck everyone’s hearts!

There was complete silence in the auditorium.

You could hear a pin drop!

Especially those artists who had been exploited for years, they were so excited they were close to tears.

Director Tang continued, "After modifying the contracts, this means many will have to sign new contracts. The contracts will specify everyone’s guaranteed salary, profit sharing, and other details. However, every person who re-signs must go to the hospital for a drug test as required."

Many hearts skipped a beat. They knew from Director Tang’s Weibo that a drug test was required, but many still hoped it was just talk.

"Zhongxing is committed to creating a harmonious and civilized company environment. We gather here to bring better works to the audience, not to hold endorsements and enjoy fan benefits while engaging in illegal and disciplinary activities."

Director Tang’s gaze swept across the room with an inexplicable sense of pressure.

The meeting was being recorded on video by someone specially situated at the back for a live-stream. There was no guarantee how many were watching, but showing the attitude of reforming Zhongxing was essential!

For this reason, Director Tang specifically practiced his stern expression in the mirror for two nights.

Right! The presence must be strong!

He needed to intimidate those with guilty consciences!

Seeing that no one made a sound, he said with satisfaction, "The bigger the family, the greater the variety of people. Similarly, the larger the company, the more diverse the people we encounter. Even parents, spouses, siblings may not truly know what you’re up to. I can’t guarantee that there aren’t people in the company secretly involved in these matters, but I can ensure that those who stay at Zhongxing in the future will abide by law and order."

Someone raised their hand, their voice trembling, "Um, Mr. Tang, what if someone wants to terminate their contract? Is it enough to just sign the contract?"

Director Tang replied with a smile, "For termination, a drug test is also required."

Those people’s hearts sank once more!
