Chapter 919: Total Bankruptcy; Karma
The “Silver Rooster Award” was organized by China’s famous “Video Magazine”. From the first edition until now, it had more than twenty years of history. After many years of precipitation, the “Silver Rooster Award” became an award with weight in the industry.
Every year, when the “Silver Rooster Award” was held, it would attract a lot of popularity. Countless sponsorships and magazine exposure would make the organizers rich.
This was also why they did not care about negative news. After all, they had a large number of investors. With money, they could hire fake reviewers to do public relations marketing.
However, the withdrawal of the Jun Corporation this time caused the entire profitable chain to stagnate.
“Speak properly. Why did the Jun Corporation withdraw its investment? Why isn’t the Zhongtian Building working with us anymore?” The person in charge of the magazine panicked. The headquarters of “Video Magazine” was located in the Zhongtian Building. If the Zhongtian Building did not cooperate with them, the entire magazine office would have to be moved. This would cost a huge price.
“I don’t know, CEO Liu. There was a sudden message from the Jun Corporation to terminate our cooperation. The Zhongtian Building has already sent a letter and ordered us to move out within three days.” The employee seemed to be in a hurry as he panted loudly. “Other than that, the other partners have also withdrawn their investments. As of now, we have less than five partners left.”
Seeing the person-in-charge’s expression change instantly, the employee did not dare to say that these five partners were so small that they were almost negligible. They were meaningless to the organizers.
“Hurry up and contact the Jun Corporation!!” The managers who had been relaxed just now panicked and hurriedly used all their strength to call their partners.
Half an hour later.
“CEO Liu, the Zhongtian Building said that they will pay the penalty fee and request us to move out within three days.”
“CEO Liu, the Hongtian Corporation has declared that they will never have any contact with us again.”
“CEO Liu…”
Everyone in the office was worried. One bad news after another hit the magazine’s person-in-charge’s heart like a huge rock. Hearing everyone say “the other party expressed their withdrawal”, CEO Liu’s legs went limp and he collapsed in his chair.
How could this be?? The person in charge could not believe it. What exactly happened?
He half-closed his eyes and recalled what had happened over the past few days. Everything had been normal last night. As he thought about it, a pair of cold eyes appeared in his mind.
“It’s her!” The person in charge, who had been slumped in his chair, suddenly shouted, startling everyone. However, the person in charge did not have the mood to care about everyone’s thoughts. He stood up and left, personally going to Xia Wanyuan’s management company.
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan woke up with a heavy head.
Her body in the modern world was considered very healthy, but she had underestimated the temperature of the winter nights in the north. She had stood in the cold wind for too long, causing the cold to invade her body.
“You’re awake? Come and drink the medicine.” Just as Xia Wanyuan moved, Jun Shiling’s arm wrapped around her.
“Bitter.” In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan, who had never frowned even when chewing bitter guts, was weak.
“I got someone to prepare honey. Drink a mouthful of medicine and I’ll feed you honey.” Jun Shiling patiently handed the medicine over.
Xia Wanyuan frowned and swallowed the medicine. In the next second, the sweet honey filled her mouth.
“Uncomfortable.” After drinking the medicine, Xia Wanyuan frowned like a child, her cheeks slightly puffed up.
Jun Shiling’s eyes darkened, but his voice was very gentle. “Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat.”
Xia Wanyuan nodded and snuggled under the blanket again. Jun Shiling gently covered her with the blanket and walked out of the bedroom. His tall figure was wrapped in a thick darkness.
Less than a day after the Silver Rooster Award ended, everyone was still evaluating the fairness of the various awards.
However, something big happened in the magazine industry.
As one of the three major physical magazines in China, “Video Magazine” suddenly declared bankruptcy.
This news came too suddenly. How could a magazine company that had done so much and held the “Silver Rooster Award” that was the focal point of the entertainment industry the night before go bankrupt just like that?
However, soon, the official Weibo account of the magazine announced this news.
The industry insiders were confused, and the netizens were also confused.
Faced with all kinds of media inquiries, the magazine official only said to the public that it was not doing well and did not say anything else.
At this moment, the person in charge of the magazine finally understood that everything was in vain. He hated himself for being blinded by the luxurious lineup and huge sponsorship amount of the “Above the Moon Palace” production team and agreeing to the request.
The reason why Director Li Heng had obtained a fake invitation, why the surveillance cameras were broken that day, why so many media reports had coincidentally come when Moon as Frost’s production team was walking the red carpet were all part of the public relations strategy of “Above the Moon Palace”.
As the television series progressed, “Moon As Frost” suppressed the popularity of “Above the Moon Palace”. The investors gave the last warning.
In the end, the public relations department came up with this idea.
Everyone thought that the small production team of “Moon As Frost” would not dare to compete with an authoritative award like the “Silver Rooster Award”.
However, they ignored the surprise – Xia Wanyuan.
Not only was Xia Wanyuan serious, but she had also shattered all their plans.
“Video Magazine” had sacrificed itself, and the million yuan in public relations fees for “Above the Moon Palace” was completely gone.
Xia Wanyuan, who was lying on the bed, did not know what had happened.
Jun Shiling raised her like a glass doll every day and would read to her, but he did not allow her to use her phone. She accepted no news from the outside world.
An illness came like a mountain. Xia Wanyuan’s illness took her almost a week to recover.
After Shen Xiu’s examination, it was finally announced that she had recovered. Xia Wanyuan sat by the window with a blanket around her and looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting beside her. “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
Jun Shiling looked up at her with a dark gaze. “You still have the cheek to say that.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and extended her arm to Jun Shiling. “CEO Jun.”
Jun Shiling’s expression was very ugly, but he still stepped forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. “If they know that you’re the mistress of the Jun family, no one will dare to treat you like this.”
“I’ve never given you a gift before. Just wait a little longer.” Xia Wanyuan curled up on Jun Shiling’s lap like a hibernating lamb, leaning against the warm stove.
“Hmph.” Jun Shiling snorted coldly, but in the end, he did not say anything else.
A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan’s face. It was faint, and the weakness she had when she was sick disappeared from her eyes. There was a clear light. “I don’t have a cold anymore. I won’t infect you with my illness.”
Jun Shiling lowered his head to look at her. His expression was normal and his voice was deep. “So?”
“Do you want to kiss me?”
