Chapter 281 Suffered a great loss, contradicting himself
When Wenna came to his door, He Yu received her very politely.
After learning what had happened, Wenna went to Xingji Entertainment Company with He Yu.
Tang Xiaoge was busy when his agent came up to him. He looked impatient and raised his hand to shoo the agent away, but then he heard the agent say something solemnly.
"Brother Xiao, Mr. Wen Tingye's assistant has arrived."
Tang Xiaoge's expression changed when he heard the name Wen Tingye, and he gave his manager a strange look.
"Why is Wen Tingye's assistant here?"
“Wenna was with him. I guess he came because of Wenna.”
Wen's Group's entertainment company, Wenhuang Film & Television, is the number one film and television company.
In the capital city, no one dares to disrespect the Wen family. Moreover, among the Wen Group's Wenhuang Film and Television, apart from Luo Xiangzhi's Xianyue Entertainment and their Xingji Entertainment, which can barely be considered second-best, other entertainment companies simply cannot compare to Wenhuang Film and Television.
The Wen family is a supreme and terrifying force, especially since the person who came was the assistant of Wen Tingye, the head of the Wen family.
Tang Xiaoge personally received He Yu, while also trying to figure out the background of this up-and-coming actress named Wen Na.
The fact that she could so easily command Wen Tingye, the head of the Wen family, suggests that she held a high position within the family.
“Mr. Tang, I’m here today to resolve Miss Wenna’s matter. I heard there was a misunderstanding between you two.” He Yu didn’t put on airs just because he was Wen Tingye’s assistant. His tone was polite and gentle, without the slightest hint of confrontation.
He deliberately used the word 'misunderstanding' so that Tang Xiaoge could save face.
Tang Xiaoge understood He Yu's meaning; he had come to support Wen Na and demand an explanation from Xingji Entertainment Company.
He certainly couldn't afford to offend Wen Tingye, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong in this matter.
"I wonder what Mr. He's view on this matter is. Is it our company's fault, or Ms. Wenna's fault?" Tang Xiaoge asked.
"You were negligent first, and then your attitude was terrible. Mr. Tang, whose fault do you think it is?" He Yu asked with a smile.
"Those who take advantage of our kindness are completely blameless. The female lead we selected was not Ms. Wenna at all, but Ms. Wenna's roommate, Luo Xiyao. However, Ms. Wenna took advantage of our company's negligence and wanted to secure the role of the female lead."
“Miss Wenna was shameless first and then acted like a rogue. I think it’s her fault.”
"As for why our company made such a big oversight, if your Wenhuang Film and Television wants to meddle in our affairs, please thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter first, find out the facts, and then come to us for an explanation with evidence."
Tang Xiaoge smiled, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp. He had always hated people who used their power to oppress others, but He Yu had just barged into his line of sight when he was most irritable. So he shouldn't blame him for not giving face to anyone when his temper flared up.
Tang Xiaoge's agent, who was listening nearby, felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that his artist had gone mad by confronting the Wen family.
Even if she had the intention to step forward and try to calm things down, it was too late; the words had already been spoken.
She clenched her fists silently, secretly observing He Yu's expression, fearing that He Yu would be angered by Tang Xiaoge's impoliteness.
If StarTraces Entertainment offends the Wen Group this time, it may be difficult for the company to gain a foothold in the industry in the future.
Even the largest entertainment company is no different from child's play in front of the Wen family. Crushing Xingji is as easy as crushing an ant.
What did you say?
"Who was originally slated to play the female lead, Luo Xiyao?"
Upon hearing Tang Xiaoge's words, He Yu was not angry at all; instead, he exclaimed in surprise, as if he had heard some incredible news.
Tang Xiaoge looked at He Yu in front of her with suspicion, feeling that this man was strange. Did he not speak clearly and needed to repeat himself?
"Yes, the original lead actress was Luo Xiyao, who is the roommate of Ms. Wenna next to you, and the female lead of 'Palm of My Hand'."
The moment Luo Xiyao was mentioned, Wen Na's face darkened instantly, looking like a female ghost from a horror movie.
"I will arrange for Ms. Wenna to announce her voluntary withdrawal from the production team as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused you!"
"After Ms. Wenna releases the news, please announce Ms. Luo Xiyao's selection as soon as possible, and clarify this matter, explaining that it was indeed Ms. Luo Xiyao who was selected, and that you made a mistake."
He Yu's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, catching everyone present off guard.
"What do you mean by this?" Tang Xiaoge was completely bewildered.
"We can't admit it's our fault. If we do, our studio's reputation will be ruined, and we'll become a laughing stock in the industry," the agent reminded her at the right moment, not wanting Tang Xiaoge to agree to He Yu's conditions.
What kind of company operates such a ridiculous joke? It's like a complete farce. They absolutely cannot admit it was a mistake!
"Whether you become a laughing stock or not is not within the scope of our President Wen's consideration, but if the matter is not clarified, Ms. Luo Xiyao will bear enormous public pressure, which is something we do not want to see. If you do not clarify, then Wenhuang Film and Television will arrange for our public relations team to investigate the matter as soon as possible and reveal the truth."
He Yu's voice was gentle, but his attitude was extremely firm. He was issuing a notification, not discussing with Xingji Entertainment.
"You have one day to handle this. If I do not see your company's official media clarify the matter and give Ms. Luo Xiyao justice by the end of the day, then we will take immediate action. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After He Yu finished speaking, he got up and left. He paused slightly next to Wen Na and said somewhat apologetically, "Ms. Wen Na, I'm sorry, this matter involves Ms. Luo Xiyao. President Wen instructed that whenever there is anything related to Ms. Luo Xiyao, we must protect Ms. Luo Xiyao first, so I can no longer help you."
Wenna's face was extremely pale, as if everyone around her was staring at her, trying to burn black holes into her skin.
It's Luo Xiyao again, it's that woman again, she's stolen my privilege once more!
After He Yu left, Tang Xiaoge's studio began to buzz with excitement. Everyone had watched such a wonderful show, and there was plenty of gossip to discuss. In particular, the clown Wen Na was still sitting there motionless, clearly having suffered a huge setback and contradicting herself.
They thought he was coming to their company to provoke them, but they ended up getting slapped in the face and didn't gain anything at all.
"How should we handle this?" Tang Xiaoge's agent was a bit of a headache. In the end, it still came down to their studio publicly admitting their negligence. It seemed like they had come full circle.
"Find out who is plotting against us. The wrong choice was made in announcing the female lead. Whoever benefited the most, we will investigate them."
"We won't take the blame for this. Also, notify the HR department to have all employees sign a supplementary agreement. If anything similar happens again, I, Tang Xiaoge, will make sure he can't stay in the industry!"
Tang Xiaoge gave Wen Na a cold, sharp look, her words spoken with unusual force.
The words were spoken to his own people, but the warning was quite clear.
Wenna was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole. She got up and staggered away from Tang Xiaoge's studio, feeling both angry and ashamed.
Wenna bumped into several staff members of Star Trail Entertainment along the way. She had no time to apologize and was called a crazy woman several times.
"Isn't she that actress who shamelessly begged for the lead role? I think her name is Wenna?"
"How interesting. They brought their own people to cause trouble, only to end up benefiting others. Are there really such fools in the world?"
"It was just a misunderstanding, but she's clinging to it and trying to extort a lead role from us. I've never seen anyone so shameless. Tsk tsk tsk, I think her skin is thicker than the soundproof wall in our bathroom!"
"Look at how arrogant she was when she first joined the company. Does she really think she's someone from the Wen family?"
Wenna's nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms. She felt no pain, only utter shame.
And all this shame is thanks to Luo Xiyao!
Okay, okay...
What a vixen Luo Xiyao is! She's a real seductress who knows how to seduce men!
