Chapter 333: Why Are You Doing This to Me
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Although they were famous stars, and their appearance fees were sky high, the money they finally got was actually not that much. It would take tens of millions of yuan to buy a house in the capital. How could they get so much money? Even if they had the money, their savings would all be gone if they bought a house. Then what would they still have?
So it was literally impossible for them to buy a house in the capital!
So none of them had bought a house in the capital, but rented a house instead. As for them, they traveled around all year to shoot plays and make shows, renting a house was better than buying one. They didn’t even think about buying a house in the capital…
But now it was different. It was as easy as pie for them to win a role for their colleagues or give them chances to appear in shows. They wouldn’t lose anything, but they might get a house for free! Even if they couldn’t make a colleague a star, they didn’t lose anything!
This was a great temptation! How could they not be attracted?
Tang Xi could see many A-listers had been tempted by her offer, but… Tang Xi looked at Xu Fang and the latter raised her eyebrows at her. Tang Xi still looked at her and she just ignored her and leisurely played with her cell phone. Tang Xi pursed her lips and smiled. “By the way, I forget to tell you our company is going to cooperate with a Hollywood movie company. If everything goes well, we’ll sign the contract in the first half of next year, and then some employees of our company will have the chance to develop in Hollywood. You know our company can give you a lot of good chances, right?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. Every star in the world yearned for Hollywood! If getting a house in the capital for free was just a small bait, the chance to develop in Hollywood was an irresistible temptation! That was even more tempting than having two houses in the capital!
Firstly, the Hollywood company could cooperate with the Empire Entertainment, so it couldn’t be a small company. Then they wouldn’t merely play bit roles in Hollywood movies, but would play important roles, or even leading roles…
Secondly, even if they didn’t help the new-comers of the company, the company would market them. Just like what Tang Xi just said, the Empire Group could give them a lot of good chances. Even if they refused to help the new-comers, Tang Xi would give them good chances. Then they who had stood at the peak would be dragged down! So why didn’t they make the new-comers stars themselves? Then the company would appreciate them, and at the same time, they could have the initiative in hands!
Tang Xi knew they had agreed when she looked at their expressions. She smiled and looked at them. “What do you think of my offer? Are you willing to help your juniors?”
Xu Fang looked at Tang Xi, gave a cold smile and snorted as she said in a low voice, “What a funny clown.”
Hearing Xu Fang’s curse, Tang Xi had a cold gleam in her eyes. She turned to look at her and smiled. “Really? May I show you what a funny clown is capable of?”
Xu Fang was about to refute her, when her agent hurriedly tugged on her arm to signal her not to speak, but Tang Xi wouldn’t let her stop. She would never forget how this woman played innocent after murdering her third brother! She looked at Xu Fang, saying, “It seems that Miss Xu has something to say?”
“No, no, President Tang, she is just not good at talking. Please don’t take it to your heart.” Xu Fang still wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks about Tang Xi, but was stopped by her agent. The agent kept apologizing to Tang Xi. “President Tang, Xu Fang didn’t mean to offend you, please…”
Tang Xi smiled. Suddenly she blinked as if remembering something. “Oh, I remember our contract with Miss Xu is going to expire next month, right? Are you looking for a new boss? So you’re not in the mood to talk with me, right?”
Xu Fang’s face darkened and she frowned at Tang Xi. “Tang Xi, what do you mean?”
Her agent tried to stop her again. Tang Xi snorted, stared at the angry Xu Fang and asked coldly, “What do you think I mean?”
The other employees were surprised to see Tang Xi speaking so harshly to Xu Fang. And the management secretly decided they would change attitudes towards Xu Fang. They gave her good chances just because of her relationship with Tang Hao. Now Tang Hao had been fired and she had annoyed the boss, so they couldn’t give her any chances in the future even though she was a famous star…
Tang Xi looked at Xu Fang and smiled. “What do you think I mean? You want to leave the Empire Group? I tell you, it’s impossible! Do you know the reason?”
Xu Fang squinted at Tang Xi and the latter said coldly, “Because I’ll never let you get what you desire! And, if you dare leave the Empire Group, I’ll ruin your career! You’d better give it a second thought before you make a decision!”
“Tang Xi!” Xu Fang lunges to her feet and glared at Tang Xi. Tang Xi folded her arms against her chest, looked at Xu Fang and snorted. “I’m not deaf. You don’t have to speak so loudly. And don’t look at me like this. This is just your retribution!”
Xu Fang suddenly cried and looked pitifully at Tang Xi. “Why are you doing this to me?”
Tang Xi smiled and turned around. She then walked up to the platform again and looked at the crowd below. “Okay, the planning department, give me a detailed plan as soon as possible, and the others, let me see your actions. Let’s make our company the most shining star of the entertainment industry!”
After the meeting, Yang Le followed Tang Xi and was about to ask her how to deal with Xu Fang, when Xu Fang suddenly rushed up and stood in Tang Xi’s way. Tang Xi frowned and looked at her, and she looked innocent and asked in a low voice, “President Tang, what did I do wrong? Why are you so desperate to ruin me?”
She didn’t believe Tang Xi would dare speak out about it here! Yes, she was rich, but so what? The public opinion could destroy her! She thought she could make her disappear from the entertainment circle, just because she was the president of the Empire Entertainment? No way!
“Don’t you know what you did wrong?” Tang Xi sneered and said out loud, “Tang Qingyu died because of you! A good young man perished because of you! How do you have the nerve to ask me why I treat you like this?” Tang Xi folded her arms against her chest and stared at Xu Fang as she said coldly, “It’s me who should ask you this question!”
