Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Regretting Not Doing Sooner
Han Jiayi cried and said: "They are all afraid of being discovered by others, so they definitely won’t leak it voluntarily, and I wouldn’t do it myself."
An Junxi had the IT department investigate urgently, but the result was that they found nothing.
An Junxi went to meet the head of the IT department in person, "How could you not find anything? Did you guys even look seriously?"
The supervisor was dripping with cold sweat, "Madam President, we really couldn’t find anything out."
Gu Yikun knew about the issue at Wanling Entertainment. Worried that his young wife couldn’t handle it, he took some time to go down to the fifth floor to check on her and caught her in the middle of scolding someone.
Gu Yikun closed her office door, "Honey, don’t be angry. You won’t look pretty if you’re angry."
An Junxi complained to Gu Yikun, "Isn’t the IT department at headquarters supposed to be full of elites? How come they can’t even track down the source of a minor scandal?"
Gu Yikun said, "I’ll let Yu Chen take a look. Maybe the other side is a skilled hacker."
Gu Yikun called Xie Yuchen. Just after he finished explaining the issue, Xie Yuchen said, "Of course, they couldn’t find out. I did it."
Upon hearing Xie Yuchen’s reply, An Junxi grabbed Gu Yikun’s phone: "Big Brother, what grudge do you have against me? Why would you hurt me like this?"
Xie Yuchen said, "Who told her to offend my wife? Naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands. After all, you guys don’t want to keep Han Jiayi either; I consider it a good deed."
An Junxi was furious. It was all her fault for talking too much, letting Xie Yuchen know that Han Jiayi was at odds with Zhang Miaoyan!
She said, "You must have other dirt on her. I beg you to show mercy and not interfere with my plans!"
Xie Yuchen asked, "What plans do you have?"
An Junxi calmed herself, "Of course, it’s a very important plan. Can you wait until I’m done with it before you act?"
Xie Yuchen was not a man to negotiate. He said, "For Yi Ke’s sake, I’ll let you have this one." Then he hung up the phone.
An Junxi complained to Gu Yikun, "He actually hung up on me. Yi Ke, I’m very angry!"
Gu Yikun hugged her: "Don’t be mad. Next time, I’ll help you beat him up."
"Don’t lie to me. You must help me beat him up."
Gu Yikun said, "Definitely."
An Junxi told him to return to his office, "I can handle the situation here. Don’t worry."
Gu Yikun pinched her ear, "Don’t get yourself all worked up. When Ai Xi sees her mommy unhappy at home, the little one will be unhappy too."
An Junxi thought of her adorable daughter at home, "Ai Xi is having a great time with her grandparents. Just give her some gifts, and she’ll be completely bought off. Such a little cunning person." Already forgotten about needing mommy.
Gu Yikun said, "That’s called being smart."
An Junxi pouted, "Your daughter can do no wrong."
Gu Yikun lightly bit her, "Same goes for my wife. She can do no wrong."
They were being affectionate for a while when someone knocked on the door outside: "Assistant An, a reporter wants to interview you. What do you think..."
Gu Yikun replied for An Junxi, "Madam won’t accept interviews. Let the PR handle it."
An Junxi asked him, "Why? I can do the interview."
Gu Yikun didn’t want her to face these issues, "It’s not a big problem. Let the PR deal with it."
An Junxi sent Gu Yikun back to his office, then went to vent to Zhang Miaoyan, "Your husband is really over the line. If he wants to mess with someone in our entertainment company, he should at least inform me, right? No matter how bad Han Jiayi is, she’s still part of Wanling Entertainment! He messed up all my plans!"
Zhang Miaoyan apologized, "I apologize on behalf of Yu Chen. Please don’t blame him. That night, he kept asking about things from my childhood when we got home. I told him a little bit. He didn’t say anything at the time. I didn’t know he would do this."
Though Zhang Miaoyan apologized, her heart felt warm. This showed that Yu Chen cared about her.
Seeing the smile on Zhang Miaoyan’s lips, An Junxi glared, "You’re not sincerely apologizing at all. Hmph!"
Zhang Miaoyan was sweating, "Jun Xi, tell the PR to not protect Han Jiayi anymore. Just give up on her."
An Junxi crazily grabbed her hair, "Han Jiayi was still somewhat useful before. Now it’s really... I’m internally wounded."
She held an emergency meeting, "We can’t use Han Jiayi anymore. Let Zhi Zhi take the female second lead role in the new drama. As for the original mute role... you do it." She randomly pointed to a girl who was good friends with Zhi Zhi.
The Gu Family was the biggest investor in the new drama. The roles were decided by Wanling, and Wanling was decided by An Junxi. For the first time, An Junxi was doing whatever she wanted, feeling utterly fabulous!
Zhi Zhi thought the mute role was the highest platform she had recently reached. Suddenly being promoted to the second female lead, she was moved to tears, "Thank you, Madam President!"
"Call me Assistant An."
"Thank you, Assistant An!"
An Junxi was helpless. Zhi Zhi was good at acting but not very smart, which was why she always missed out on good opportunities.
If it weren’t for Yang Chenmin having a discerning eye and recommending her, Zhi Zhi would spend her whole life playing minor roles.
An Junxi had Han Jiayi meet her. She said, "You know your current situation. You’ve offended all the big shots in the industry. I heard someone outside has paid to buy one of your hands. You are of no use to me anymore."
Han Jiayi was scared to death, "Assistant An, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to stay here anymore. As long as you can safely get me out of the country, I’ll do whatever you say!"
Back in the day she was so famous, and now she’s so notorious. She can no longer stay in the country!
An Junxi tapped the table, "Given this situation, the company can only abandon you. You need to stage a dramatic public showdown with Liu Zhiwen. I can help you leave the country."
Han Jiayi had spent almost all her earnings compensating others. She had floated through the entertainment circle for years, selling her body and soul, enjoyed glory, and tasted rejection, yet she ended up with nothing.
This was the greatest punishment for her.
Sending Han Jiayi out of the country was An Junxi’s final act of kindness.
Han Jiayi thought about her many years of hardship in the entertainment industry, not expecting it to end this way.
She regretted her past actions, "I’ll do whatever Assistant An says."
After her trouble, none of her so-called friends came forward to support her, proving she really gained nothing over these years.
An Junxi stopped watching Han Jiayi’s pitiful act. She consulted with the PR team and the PR team handled the media, "Our company’s lack of restraint over our artists has caused a negative impact on society. We sincerely apologize to the public."
"Wanling has always promoted positive energy in society, nurturing a new generation of idols with a positive and progressive attitude, instilling correct values in young people. Han Jiayi failed to achieve these, and her wrong examples have negatively impacted society and damaged the company’s reputation. After discussion, the company painfully announces the official termination of Han Jiayi’s contract."
"Han Jiayi violated contract terms, causing serious consequences for the company. We will consider pursuing significant compensation for her breach of contract. We will be stricter in training and supervising artists in the future and sincerely accept criticism and supervision from all sectors of society."
