Chapter 193 - 57. Finale

Chapter 193: 57. Finale

The time was nearing afternoon, and at last, all the activities at the main venue had come to an end.

Bai Yi finally had a moment to herself, able to take a break from her work.

Apart from the stage performances, she also had other various tasks, neither too big nor too small.

For example, she had to cooperate with the company to shoot some short videos, participate in the promotion of some fashion platforms that were exhibiting...

So, when a busy Bai Yi finally stopped, like a spinning top coming to rest, several hours had already passed since the midday performance.

The person responsible for the Golden Lion Group’s venue performance eventually sought her out.

Zuo Jiangqin was in a bad mood and went back to rest early, so Jiang Xiong accompanied Bai Yi in dealing with the subsequent matters.

"I am Milos, the person responsible for the performances at the Golden Lion Group exhibition. Please, both of you, take a seat."

Following a middle-aged man wearing the Golden Lion logo on his chest, they arrived at the office. He took the main seat and gestured for the two to sit down.

Bai Yi sat nervously opposite the blond man, while Jiang Xiong also pulled out a chair and sat down.

Milos poured a cup of coffee for each of them and casually steered the conversation to the topic at hand,

"Regarding the matter of Miss Bai Yi not performing according to the rehearsal this afternoon..."

Bai Yi pursed her lips, lowered her head, and took the initiative to speak to Milos,

"It was my decision to do so without discussion, and I will take responsibility for it!"

Milos glanced at the girl in front of him but did not reply; instead, he handed her and the adjacent Jiang Xiong their coffees,

"Please enjoy."

Jiang Xiong usually did not directly handle Bai Yi’s artist affairs, as her mother Zuo Jiangqin and her agent were responsible for these matters.

Thus at this moment, he did not rashly speak up but just glanced at Bai Yi beside him.

After pushing the coffee forward, Milos continued,

"Just now, before the event had ended, a young man who came here of his own accord took responsibility in a similar manner.

"He said he is your fan, and without your permission, diverted the media teachers away; is that correct?"

In just an instant, Bai Yi realized that the young man Milos was referring to was Yan Huan. She quickly waved her hand, wanting to explain for Yan Huan,

"No... it’s not like that. It was me..."

Hearing this, Milos simply raised his hand, stopping the nervous Bai Yi from continuing to take on the responsibility.

He smiled slightly and said,

"Don’t be so anxious... Miss Bai Yi, you see, you are not as composed as your fan."

"Eh?"

Milos opened a drawer, pulled out a contract.

He brought out the contract, quickly glanced over the terms, and began to say,

"According to the contract’s terms, breach of contract only includes absence, serious performance accidents, acts that damage the exhibition or the reputation of the Golden Lion Group, and so on."

Then, he looked up at Bai Yi,

"To speak honestly, the behavior of you or your fan is hardly definable as a breach of contract..."

Bai Yi blinked, watching as the blond man took out his phone, opened an app, and handed it to her.

She looked at the phone screen, which displayed Lin Gate’s most famous short video platform.

On the trending list, the third and fourth topics were "Bai Yi Game Exhibition Stunning Performance" and "Golden Lion Game Exhibition."

She blinked, watched as Milos switched through several platforms’ trending lists, and found her name "Bai Yi" appearing on them one after another.

Afterward, Milos put away his phone, and then continued,

"Do you understand now? Your performance didn’t overrun the time, it was confined to seven and a half minutes; and in my view, the performance was much better than the original one, greatly exceeding our original profit expectations with you.

"Such matters, even if escalated to the court in a lawsuit, the likelihood of you being judged in breach of contract for not performing according to rehearsal is very small...

"Moreover, the performance is now quite popular, and we do not want to see any public relations crises with headlines like ’Golden Lion Group Kicks an Idol When She’s Down’ or ’Golden Lion Lawsuit Turmoil’ appearing in the days to come."

Bai Yi’s mouth hung open as it seemed like she finally grasped the other party’s meaning.

She looked into Milos’s blue eyes, incredulously asking,

"So, you mean there won’t be any pursuit of responsibility, is that right?"

Milos nodded and said,

"That’s right, your fan sees things clearer than you do.

"And it seems that he believes in you even more than you do yourself."

At these words, Bai Yi’s pupils shrank slightly.

She suddenly remembered the scene when she had let Yan Huan listen to her entire new song.

When he heard the prelude, he suddenly looked up at her.

Then, he asked,

"Bai Yi, how many minutes do those interactions usually take during rehearsals?"

So, it turned out that from the very first time he heard her new song, he had made up his mind, hence figuring out if singing it to completion would overrun.

It turned out that from that moment on, he had believed in and approved of her song.

While she had thought at the time...

"Thump... Thump..."

She clutched her chest, unable to speak for a long while.

Meanwhile, Milos rubbed his temples, leaning back in his chair,

"However, don’t think you just got lucky, Miss Bai Yi. As a veteran in the industry, let me still offer you some advice."

"Yes... yes."

Milos glanced at Bai Yi and said word by word,

"Not every impulsive act carries such good fortune, and this time it luckily wasn’t just some one-sided wishful thinking from a fan through rose-colored glasses. Otherwise, the consequences you would have to face are beyond what you can imagine, you know?

"No company can accept such sudden arrangements you’ve made. Why do you think we at the Golden Lion Group have so many rehearsals for just a game exhibition?"
