Chapter 628: Chapter 271: Easily Captured_2
Belated realization brought intense regret to the Korean, who curled up and rolled back and forth, crying and confessing, "If I’d known your company was this crazy, I’d definitely have calmly taken the money and done the job!"
"Mr. President, I know I was wrong, can you please come and save me?"
President Su had no idea about the current situation.
With his support, Cheese had more than enough to handle this kind of thing, so there was no need to ask any more questions, just wait for the results.
Cheese indeed handled it very well—
He ordered the few male hosts in the company, "When that bitch comes out, as soon as Sister B gives the order, you hammer him, except don’t hit the head, just beat him to a pulp!"
Four male hosts each held a rubber roller, grinning maliciously at the entrance to the conference room.
Then, Cheese turned and went upstairs to find Tara, his face cold, and said to the translator, "Tell them to perform according to the original plan!"
The one named En Jing, not seeing her agent, took the initiative to step up and negotiate, "Where is Director Li? I need his explicit instructions..."
Cheese wouldn’t budge an inch as he locked eyes with her and said coldly, "You’ve already taken the money, so you must follow our rules. Director Li is currently in a bit of trouble; if you can’t complete the performance as agreed, that small trouble will definitely turn into a big problem, I guarantee it!"
"Oh my! Why are they like this?"
One of the girls, after hearing the translation, complained irritably.
Cheese had no patience for them. There were plenty of pretty girls in his own company; what were they in comparison?
"You better understand the most basic fact—the performance fee of 6 million far exceeds your actual worth, and we’ve already paid in full!
If you’re reasonable, Director Li won’t do, if you’re not reasonable, he’ll do even less!"
He ranted and raved, and before he left, Cheese dropped one last harsh line.
"I hope you can perform at your best later; otherwise, nobody is leaving this building today!"
Of course, that was nonsense, just a scare tactic.
The difficulty of detaining a single agent alone and detaining an internationally known group at the same time were entirely different levels.
And even if it were possible, there was no need to do so, as the severity of the two situations was vastly different.
So, the Korean could be beaten up casually, and at most, there would just be a legal squabble between the two companies afterward, but Tara itself couldn’t have any issues.
Cheese knew what he was doing, so he handled it particularly just right.
After stepping out, he went back downstairs and listened to the Korean’s soul-crushing screams in the hallway, nodded in satisfaction, and reported back to Su Huai with his super phone.
"It’s done, Mr. Su!"
Su Huai silently listened to his report, feeling his excited and buoyant mood, and almost couldn’t help but laugh.
"You’re really vicious. Where did you learn this trick?"
"Hah, what’s so strange about that?"
Cheese replied nonchalantly, "Similar things have happened so many times in Qingdao and other places. These Koreans have been strutting around in China, but just as often, they’ve been messed up by the local underworld gurus, mostly just swallowing their broken teeth and blood, super easy to knock around!"
Su Huai reminded, "We are, after all, law-abiding businessmen."
"Don’t worry, I know. We don’t want a penny from them; once Sister B has had enough fun, just drop it!"
Er, that Sister B of yours, how much fun does she need to have before it’s enough?
Su Huai used his imagination and immediately felt goosebumps all over, quickly shaking his head to calm himself and dispel those terrible images.
Brother Korean, you’d better pray for your own luck...
"Good, that’s well done. The rest is up to Yuji’s performance. Please make another effort to hold on until 1 a.m."
"Haha, I’m super energetic now, you can count on me!"
Having caused such a disruption, Cheese was even more exhilarated—perhaps this was what they call pressure transfer?
After hanging up, Su Huai immediately called Wang Siming.
After messing with their partner, it was only polite to give a heads up, to pass the buck... Ahem, to report the situation.
Wang picked up quickly.
"Hello? Young Master Huai, I was watching Yuji’s live stream. What’s up? Why didn’t you send a WeChat message?"
Gou Huai spoke with a tone of righteous indignation, "Hey, you really have the leisure! Can Banana Entertainment even handle things? That freaking Korean agent tried to mess with me just before going on stage, playing that game of turning on us after taking the money. You better genuinely not know about this!"
"What?!"
Wang was genuinely dumbfounded, his voice resonating with pure foolishness.
"What happened? I really don’t know... Just tell me what’s going on, don’t get worked up. How could I possibly hold you back?"
Gou Huai snickered while exaggerating the situation as he briefed Wang.
"Fuck!"
As expected, Wang erupted in anger, cursing loudly, "Fuck their shitty dumbasses! I’ve never been able to stand that Korean agent, acting like an under-evolved jackass. Does he fucking want to die?"
Gou Huai replied through gritted teeth, "I can’t take it anymore. I have to beat his ass to feel better. You’d better not stop me."
"Like I give a fuck!"
Mr. Wang indeed lost it, quickly responding without thought, "Just do it! It’s on me! Fuck! This is what he gets for spoiling him, that fucking idiot!"
OK, mission accomplished~~~
Having successfully dragged Wang into the fray, Gou Huai suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "I prepaid the full amount out of respect for you. If you’re going to fob me off after this incident, then we really have no need to cooperate. But for now, it’s still fine; your buddy can handle it."
Of course!
I put interests to both sides and the word ’loyalty’ in the middle. Who doesn’t know how righteous Brother Wang is?
Wang Siming thumped his chest and assured Su Huai, "This matter is definitely not over! Don’t worry. Banana Entertainment has the labor fees on their account. When he gets back, I’ll give him another piece of my mind! Damn it, if the tiger doesn’t show his might, he really treats me like a doormat!"
Seeing his brother on the verge of limping out, Gou Huai quickly provided positive feedback.
"Good, Wang, I trust you. Today we’ll handle our own parts separately. I’ll take care of my side; let yours slide if necessary. Your family’s empire is vast, and your reputation is important. I totally understand..."
Look at this bro, so fucking understanding!
The naive son of the landlord was deeply moved and felt increasingly guilty.
How did a good cooperation fall apart like this?
Before he could figure it out, Korea’s MBK called his phone.
Tara reported the current situation to their domestic agency, mainly about Director Li being ’suspected’ of being held by the Chinese side. The girls couldn’t bear such responsibility.
Then, after some reporting and contacting, one of the vice presidents who could speak Chinese represented MBK to communicate with Wang Siming, seeking to clarify the situation.
The moment Wang Siming saw the +82 area code, his temper flared. He answered the phone and launched into a tirade.
Although Banana Entertainment only held Tara’s onshore brokerage contract in China, and MBK was the main company holding the full contract, with the moral high ground, Prince Wang wasn’t afraid of anyone.
The representative from Korea was berated miserably and had to keep apologizing before timidly asking, "What’s the current situation with Director Li?"
"Waiting to die!"
Mr. Wang issued a precise threat, "You’d better remind him to get the hell back to your appendix the moment he’s released. Don’t let me see him again. Fuck!"
Bang!
The call was disconnected.
The Korean party was scolded into sour satisfaction but also learned that the problem wasn’t big. Well, being able to get out meant the problem wasn’t big. After all, managers like Director Li in Korea were always treated as mere beasts of burden.
He immediately returned a message to Tara, "Director Li is fine; he’ll probably join you later. You just perform as you should, don’t mess up again."
"Yes, we understand."
The girls looked at each other and huddled together to whisper, ultimately making the easy and correct decision—
Perform according to the original plan and cooperate well with Pei Shuyu.
Honestly, they felt deeply wronged. Their self-esteem, nurtured by past glories, vehemently resisted doing a supporting act for a host.
But given their current situation, they truly couldn’t refuse the company’s arrangements.
Every comeback, song collection, promotions, concerts, and even maintaining the group’s existence—each and every detail depended on the company’s support.
If MBK gave up on them, their careers would end completely, and they would never have another chance.
"If only Liu Huaying’s incident hadn’t happened..."
Busy inside, Park Jiyan clenched her fists in frustration.
The eldest sister sighed, took her hands, and comforted, "Stop thinking about it. Take care of what’s in front of you, and be a good guest for... Yuji."
Right then, Yuyan peeked out from the broadcasting room and waved at them.
"Ladies, get ready! It’s your turn to enter!"
The six sisters formed a circle, placing their hands together and calling out a listless cheer.
A forced melon is not sweet, but Su Huai just loved to force it, and he got it effortlessly.
