109: Chapter 19 Betrayal by All

Manager Cai heard what he wanted to hear, but Xu Kun's expression, treating him like a Japanese, infuriated him.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, his assistant knocked and entered.

"Manager Cai, the 'the singer & songwriter' production team has issued an announcement online, it has already..."

The assistant saw Xu Kun in the office and dared not continue, only glancing at Xu Kun intentionally or unintentionally.

Manager Cai saw it and roared with a grim face, "Speak, there's nothing that can't be said."

The assistant withdrew his gaze from Xu Kun, as if having made up his mind, and said loudly.

"The production team has demanded that the videos of the first two episodes be removed from the entire network, and will be re-uploaded after Xu Kun's scenes are edited out."

"Furthermore, a claim letter has been sent to the company, demanding 5 million in compensation from the company and 20 million from Xu Kun."

Manager Cai's heart pounded faster and faster. Although some brand partners had been appeased under Xu Jie's arrangement.

But it seemed it wouldn't last for more than a few days. With CCTV taking the lead, subsequent claims would only increase.

The coming days would be a peak period for brand partners to terminate contracts and claim compensation. He had to find a way to stabilize the situation.

"Is there anything else?" he asked impatiently.

"CCTV's removal of videos set a precedent, and many other video apps, fearing implication, are also following suit and removing Xu Kun's videos."

"Many dramas, movies, and variety shows starring him are no longer searchable online."

The assistant finished, casting a disdainful glance at Xu Kun.

Xu Kun had already panicked when he heard about CCTV's claim.

Upon hearing that his dramas, movies, and variety shows were also taken down, he collapsed onto the floor.

He looked at Manager Cai with a ashen face, crying, "Manager Cai, please save me. I'll pay CCTV's compensation myself. Take me to see CEO Xu and help me put in a good word."

"After we get through this, I will definitely turn over a new leaf. I will definitely follow the company's arrangements."

Manager Cai looked up but said nothing. Right now, he just wanted to distance himself from Xu Kun.

"Old Cai, you son of a b*tch, you've really killed me this time!"

"Remy Mobile Company has already sent a letter to the company because of Xu Kun's matter, demanding three times compensation for their company's losses, or they'll see us in court."

A rough voice came from outside the door, followed by a burly man with a robust and strong physique, muscles bulging like high-raised balls, clearly defined, walking in.

He wore a undershirt inside and a suit jacket outside, showcasing the results of his years of fitness to everyone.

Seeing the helpless Xu Kun sprawled on the ground, he quickly walked over, "It's you, you sissy, who's caused the entire company to be in a frenzy now."

"I really want to crush you like an ant."

He showed Xu Kun his fist and muscles, his eyes wide like brass bells.

"Alright, if you have the ability, go use it on Remy Mobile Company. Threaten them not to sue us, how about it?"

The newcomer was Tie Yuanwu, the Deputy Manager of the company's Business Department, who loved fitness.

He was at the company almost 24 hours a day, and aside from working hours, he was usually in the company gym.

Despite his large build and strong muscles, he was actually very timid, screaming in terror even when watching horror movies.

"That's Remy Mobile Technology Company. They don't have many technical staff, but they have 700 legal personnel! I can't afford to provoke them, you go if you want to."

Tie Yuanwu immediately backed down, but then quickly turned to Manager Cai, "The plan you gave isn't easy to implement. Although our company is lowering prices and changing spokespersons, many companies don't agree with this plan."

"Then the price isn't low enough, just keep lowering it," Manager Cai said irritably.

"In that case, who will bear the company's losses? When CEO Xu asks, I can't take responsibility for this," Tie Yuanwu's eyes flickered, staring intently at Manager Cai.

"Even if CEO Xu questions it, I'll take responsibility, alright?" Manager Cai didn't back down, because this plan was originally proposed by Xu Jie.

"Alright, that's what I was waiting for. I'll go implement it then."

No sooner had Tie Yuanwu left than a young, beautiful lady entered Manager Cai's office.

He hurriedly stood up to greet her, his face plastered with a fawning smile, "Assistant Feng, does CEO Xu have any new instructions? You could have just called, and I would have gone over. You didn't have to come in person."

Assistant Feng walked over in high heels, her face cold, ignoring Manager Cai's eagerness.

"CEO Xu heard that Xu Kun is back and asked me to tell you to quickly make him hand over the fan group."

"If the fans keep causing trouble like this, something big will happen."

Hearing Assistant Feng demanding the fan group, Xu Kun instinctively shuffled back a few steps, his eyes filled with fear, his mouth trembling.

"Don't... don't come over. I... I won't give you the fan... fan group."

Assistant Feng coldly glanced at Manager Cai.

Manager Cai understood, and roared at Xu Kun, "Xu Kun, in your current state, what else can you do with the fan group? Hand it over quickly, it's better for everyone."

"No, I won't give it to you. Don't even think about it."

"Xu Kun, listen. This will only make people look down on you more, and I won't care about you anymore."

Assistant Feng watched all this, muttering, "As expected of someone surnamed Cai, his methods are truly lacking."

She clapped her hands twice, and four security guards walked in from outside.

"Get his phone out and unlock it."

"Move quickly."

The four security guards received the order, went up, and immediately pinned Xu Kun firmly to the ground.

They took his phone from him and forcibly unlocked it.

Xu Kun's screams and cries for help echoed in the office, but no one paid attention.

Manager Cai turned away in discomfort, not looking at Xu Kun.

Assistant Feng, after getting Xu Kun's phone, left the office with a triumphant joy.

She was escorted by the four security guards.

Manager Cai then turned around to look at Xu Kun, walked over, and forcibly helped him up onto the sofa.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The office door was knocked on again.

"Come in!"

Manager Cai didn't know who it was, but he figured it must be someone else coming because of Xu Kun.

The person who entered was Duan Qi, a finance staff member. She looked nervous but still politely said.

"Manager Cai, people from the Tax Bureau are here."

"According to them, Xu Kun's tax evasion is a fact, and the amount is huge."

"They are here to find evidence of Xu Kun's tax evasion, and also to thoroughly investigate the company's financial issues."

"Our director hopes Manager Cai can take Xu Kun to surrender and confess everything in detail."

Xu Kun had just sat on the sofa when he heard Duan Qi's words. His body stiffened, and then he slid off the sofa like a pile of mud, collapsing onto the floor.

He no longer cried out, but stared blankly at the ceiling, as if his soul had been sucked out.

He looked as if he had nothing left to live for.

"Alright, Xiao Duan, you go first, I'll bring him over in a bit," Manager Cai said helplessly.

"No, Manager Cai, our director means immediately, we cannot keep the comrades from the Tax Bureau waiting."
