The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 492 - Chapter 492 Loss

Chapter 492: Loss Chapter 492: Loss Could it be they are here to kick me while I’m down?

Su Ran observed Meng Weiwei’s expression and smiled with a slight curve of her lips.

“As a former manager showing such concern for the artist under my charge, as the current manager, I naturally need to come and greet you,” she said.

The reporter, holding the camera, trembled with excitement.

Former versus current?

What a sensational scene!

Meng Weiwei’s face changed for a moment, and, gritting her teeth, she said:

“No… no need…”

Su Ran smiled gently and nodded slightly.

“Since that’s the case, I might as well inform you of something.”

Meng Weiwei looked up, glanced at Chu Ling behind Su Ran, and then moved her gaze back to her.

“What is it?”

Su Ran raised her eyebrows, looking down at her from above.

“Remember to appear in court on Monday, and don’t you dare flee before battle,” she said.

Upon hearing this, Meng Weiwei was momentarily stunned, and then her complexion drastically changed.

“You…”

“Ms. Meng is so formidable, having thrown down the gauntlet at the press conference, I presume you’ve already found a lawyer. Then, we’ll… see you in court!”

Meng Weiwei panicked; the harsh words she spoke at the press conference had inadvertently cut off her own retreat.

Now, who would still be willing to help her?

“Chu Ling, do you really have to be so merciless?”

Chu Ling let out a cold laugh, “I’m merciless? You forced me into a dead end, what I’m doing now is nothing in comparison!”

Meng Weiwei’s face changed, and her tone softened.

“Chu Ling, I had no choice. Remember our years of friendship, please… please let me off.”

“Friendship? Why didn’t you think of our years of friendship when you refused to spare me? Meng Weiwei, you brought this upon yourself; you can’t blame anyone else.”

“No, Chu Ling, I…”

“Shut your mouth, I don’t want to listen!!”

–

With the help of security, Su Xinyan finally entered the company building, looking completely disheveled. Gu Heng was in a meeting and Meng Weiwei was also caught in a whirlpool of public opinion. As such, the first news came from her assistant.

The assistant hurried into her office and was slightly taken aback at the sight of Su Xinyan, who was in disarray.

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing the assistant’s panicked appearance, Su Xinyan hurriedly asked, indifferent to her ragged state.

And seeing the assistant in such a rush, she had a bad premonition.

“The shooting projects we previously secured are now asking for a change of personnel…”

“What?! Impossible, those were personally secured by Teacher Huang Yan, how dare they.”

Su Xinyan’s voice suddenly rose, and she stood up abruptly.

“The song you collaborated on with Teacher Huang Yan, Meng Yixuan’s side has asked for someone else to revise it, and the MV you participated in is being taken down for a reshoot, and there’s more…”

“What else?”

Su Xinyan asked again, her face looking both grim and anxious.

The assistant stealthily scrutinized Su Xinyan, then lowered her eyes and said softly:

“Investors and production teams have called; all of your commercials, movies, and TV dramas are requesting replacements. The company directors are also pressuring President Gu to temporarily put you on ice…”

Su Xinyan’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any color.

“Benched… benched?”

Her expression stunned, she shook her head in disorder, “No, that cannot be, I have created so much profit for the company, on what grounds do they have to bench me?”

The assistant gave her a covert glance and deliberated her tone before saying:

“This incident has brought a great crisis to the company. The several investors President Gu had previously negotiated with are all making a fuss about withdrawing their funds. Not only that, but in just one night, the company’s stock market value has evaporated by two hundred million…”

Su Xinyan’s face turned dark and tense, as she forced herself to calm down, biting her teeth, she took out her cell phone from her bag and dialed Meng Weiwei’s number directly.

At that moment, Meng Weiwei was sitting on the sofa in her own apartment, a picture of despair and aimlessness.

The phone rang for a long time before she answered.

“Hello…” the voice was hoarse and rough.

“Meng Weiwei, just what are you doing? How did things turn out like this?”

Su Xinyan clenched her lips tightly, full of anxiousness and anger.

Meng Weiwei cast a glance around her apartment and let out a snort of laughter.

“I have been following your orders. You’re asking me why it turned out like this? Heh, I would like to know as well.”

“What do you mean by following my orders? Don’t you understand to handle things with caution and care? Now that the situation has escalated to this point, what do you think we should do?”

Su Xinyan pressed down the dissatisfaction in her chest, her voice stern.

“What do you think should be done?”

Su Xinyan’s eyes flickered, a glint of deep light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“The situation has developed to such an extent, you have to come forward and make a statement now.”

Meng Weiwei slumped onto the sofa, her laugh tinged with irony.

What could she do?

She was just an ordinary agent, an arm can’t win against a leg.

“Don’t worry, it’s all my own doing, it has nothing to do with you…”

Su Xinyan’s expression immediately relaxed, “I won’t treat you badly, I will compensate you handsomely afterwards.”

Meng Weiwei remained silent and hung up the phone.

Su Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief for the moment, now just waiting for Meng Weiwei to release a statement.

Before she could even put the phone down, she received another call from Wen Peipei, hurrying over to Enrich immediately.

Enrich too was in the midst of a crisis.

When Su Xinyan arrived, the assistant was reporting on the company’s situation; Wen Peipei leaned back in her chair, her fingers continuously massaging her brow, her face unable to hide her exhaustion.

“Director Wen, the company’s stock hit the daily limit down this morning. Up to now, five partners have proposed to withdraw their investments…”

“Three malls have refused to renew their contracts with Enrich and have forcibly demanded that our brand withdraw from their premises. Miss Xinyan’s negative impact this time is too severe, detrimental to the malls’ public image. They demand that we pay a penalty for the breach of contract, and furthermore…”

Su Xinyan sat pale on the sofa, with every word the assistant said, her face grew whiter.

“Due to the fans’ strong boycott and group disturbances, more than a dozen stores have been forced to close, unable to conduct normal business…”

All accounted for, in just one day, Enrich had lost several billion.

Wen Peipei’s aged eyes were full of red blood threads as she lifted her gaze to look at Su Xinyan beside her, who wasn’t in the right state of mind.

“Xinyan, how is Chongguang handling this?”

Su Xinyan bit her lip, “Sister Meng will release a statement and explain everything clearly to everyone, proving that I have nothing to do with this matter.”

Wen Peipei contemplated for a moment, then nodded tiredly.

“It was indeed her doing, let her step forward and take responsibility, then we can consider it over. At this moment, you must strive to sever your ties with her and not be soft-hearted.”

Su Xinyan obediently nodded, “I understand, Grandma.”

Seeing her compliant appearance, Wen Peipei’s harsh expression softened slightly.

Meanwhile, the TV screen hanging opposite switched to the entrance of Zisu Entertainment.
