Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 785: Signing with Taiqi
Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Signing with Taiqi
Qiao Shiqing hurried over, her complexion looking quite poor.
"Mr. Chen...did you call for me?"
Chen Qijun glanced at Xi Yang and then glared at her.
"What a mess you’ve created!"
Qiao Shiqing’s expression contorted as she lowered her head. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Mr. Chen, I will handle it properly, you...."
"Hah, handle it properly? He’s ruined now. How do you calculate the cost of his training at the company? Are you going to repay it?"
"I...."
Xi Yang listened, utterly confused.
What does ’he’s ruined now’ mean?
Even if the scandal involving Shiguang had been leaked online, it wouldn’t have ruined him, right?
Before he could get clarity, a huge commotion erupted in the corridor outside.
It seemed like a lot of people were running around.
Soon after, the door to Chen Qijun’s office swung open, and a group of administrators walked in followed by a few uniformed police officers.
"Mr. Chen...."
Xing Mingfei, who had just been promoted, walked past her holding an arrest warrant, directly facing Xi Yang.
"You’re Xi Yang, right? We suspect you’re involved in drug trafficking, please come with us."
With a "bang," Xi Yang’s mind went blank.
How did the police find out about his situation...
Could it be...
He looked at Qiao Shiqing. She gave him a helpless and cold glance and then turned away.
That’s how Xi Yang was taken away by the police.
Chen Qijun’s anger flared up immediately, but before she could erupt, Qiao Shiqing handed her a cup of tea.
"Sister, don’t be angry, I called the police."
Chen Qijun looked at her incredulously, "What did you say?"
Qiao Shiqing sighed.
"It’s true that I indulged Xi Yang into becoming what he is today. I shouldn’t have turned a blind eye from the start, but since it’s already happened, I alerted the police the moment someone exposed him. That way, the impact on our company is minimized."
Chen Qijun knew there was reason in Qiao Shiqing’s words.
What’s done was done, and getting angry now was pointless.
So she reluctantly took the tea.
"Now tell me, what do we do? Xi Yang is no good anymore, what about all the arrangements our company has made? What about the endorsements? Even if Xi Yang were to compensate, how could he do so from prison?!"
Qiao Shiqing clearly came prepared.
"Mr. Chen, I’ve thought it through. Since Xi Yang isn’t suitable anymore, why don’t we cut ties with him and choose someone better?"
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Chen, haven’t you seen it yet? Shiguang obviously has more potential for development than him. Why don’t we try to sign him?"
Qiao Shiqing’s words hit right at Chen Qijun’s core.
In business, naturally, you want to recuperate losses at the fastest speed.
Looking at it now, Shiguang indeed seemed like the best choice.
"Then go ahead and follow up on it. Agree to whatever conditions he has."
...
The news of Xi Yang being taken away by the police immediately swept over every inch of the internet.
Search trends were dominated by his name for a time.
And the most devastated were Xi Yang’s fans.
They had been so close to seeing him debut and officially become a star, but his career met with disaster right before the launch.
Many fan site leaders were overwhelmed, with some leaving and others cursing.
The last batch of fans who stopped supporting him all switched to supporting Jiang Shixu instead.
Jiang Shixu’s popularity suddenly reached a new historical high, even surpassing the combined total of the second and third most popular.
He’s a rich second-generation guy, his sister is Lili and his brother is also an actor; his mother used to be a top agent, he has a good personality, doesn’t fight or grab, sings well, and works very hard.
He’s simply the predestined favorite idol.
But there was also bad news.
Jiang Shixu didn’t even have a Weibo account.
So the fans who had nowhere else to go all collectively ran to Lili’s Weibo.
"Ahhh, Lili, can you let Shiguang open a Weibo?"
"Ugh, exactly, sister, please pity us."
"To think Shiguang is your real brother, sister, from now on, you’re the only ’sister’ for me."
Lili didn’t blow up, but it brought Jiang Shixu into the limelight.
The next day, a verified Weibo account with a yellow ’V’ appeared.
Jiang Shixu V: "I’m here now, stop bothering her."
The fans cried once again.
"What kind of sibling-doting script is this?"
"I really want to switch places with Lili and experience her life, ugh."
"Jiang Yan, you should learn from your brother!"
On this side, Xing Mingfei, having once again set up a record, kowtowed a few electronic bows to Lili.
He deeply felt that as long as he kept an eye on Lili’s movements, becoming a director wouldn’t be far off.
The news of Xi Yang being detained reached the training camp, and all the trainees were dumbfounded.
In their eyes, Xi Yang’s presence was no different from that of a school prodigy in their high school.
Handsome, outstanding grades, and a powerful background.
But then one day, this godlike figure was banned overnight.
The shock also made them sigh at the cruelty of the entertainment industry.
And the most successful from Xi Yang’s departure was Jiang Shixu.
Not only was the person who framed him gone, now even Taiqi was about to sign a contract with him.
Qiao Shiqing first went to find Lili, and it took a lot of effort to convince her to discuss the contract signing with Taiqi and herself.
Jiang Shixu was called over after his training.
He obediently sat next to Lili.
Seeing this, Qiao Shiqing took out the contract she had prepared earlier and placed it in front of them, praising Jiang Shixu to the skies before turning to Lili.
"Miss Jiang, have you reviewed the contract? We’ve offered the highest terms already, we’re only taking thirty percent of Young Master Jiang’s commercial performance fees after his debut, and we can also guarantee that his resources will be the best in Taiqi."
Lili carefully examined the contract.
She had to admit, the other party’s attitude was indeed impressive, even her Second Aunt might not be able to offer such terms.
And in terms of training pop stars, Taiqi really had ample experience and resources.
Lili handed the contract to Jiang Shixu.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Shixu pursed his lips and raised his head, "I’ll listen to sister."
Lili laughed and cried at the same time, "Shixu, you’re almost an adult, you should have your own ideas."
Jiang Shixu’s eyes drooped slightly, "Does being an adult mean I’m no longer your brother?"
Lili couldn’t help but reach out and touch his head, "No matter how old you are, you’ll always be my brother, but for matters like this, I would really prefer you to make decisions based on your own thoughts."
Jiang Shixu nodded, thought seriously for a moment.
"I can... I want to sign."
Since he was going to make a debut, signing with a company was unavoidable.
Tai Fan had mentioned Taiqi to him multiple times before, and he really had a good impression of it.
And they offered him a lot of freedom to showcase himself, certainly better than unfamiliar companies that would restrict him.
Seeing Jiang Shixu agree so quickly, Qiao Shiqing was naturally overjoyed, immediately arranging for the legal department to sign the contract.
