Chapter 463
As she spoke these words, everyone at the scene became quiet. One could almost hear a pin drop,
and the sound of breathing was non-existent.
At this moment,almost everyone''s eyes were focused on Scott Huang, Fade Chen and Rowena
Song.
Rowena folded her arms and looked at Fade . She was feeling confident, with a sneer on her face,
as she waited for Scott Huang to reply.
Fade had an indifferent expression on his face. He remained calm and did not pay attention to
Rowena.
Scott''s expression was dark, and he seemed furious. He paused briefly, nced at Fade, and
started walking towards Rowena.
When Rowena saw this, she had a gloating expression on her face. She quickly said to Scott,
"Director Huang, your enterprise can''t recruit such employees in the future, I-"
However, before Rowena couldplete her sentence, Scott pped her directly on the face.
Rowena waspletely stunned, she patted
her cheeks, and looked at Scott in confusion, saying, "Director Huang, you--"
Everyone else in the room was bbergasted when they saw this. Their eyes and their mouths were
completely wide open.
"What, what is going on here?"
"Why did Director Huang p Rowena ? Is Director Huang such close friends with Fade ?"
"This, how on earth will they resolve this issue? The crowd outside is still waiting for the signing
ceremony?"
Everyone felt as though they were on a turbulent ocean full of waves,and that they werepletely
disoriented.
At this moment, Rowena was furious and perplexed. She said to Scott, "Why did you p me?"
Scott snorted coldly and answered, "Why, you ask? My p is considered a light punishment in
consideration of your attitude towards Brother Fade."
"Brother Fade? Him? Who is he?" Rowena asked, as she was baffled by Scott''s use of the word
''brother''.
Scott said: "Brother Fade is the secondrgest shareholder of the enterprise. He is also your boss.
At the same time, brother Fade is my boss. His words are sacred to me."
As soon as he had said this, not only Rowena, but all the other staff members were stunned.
They had assumed that Fade was just a random friend or even a rtive of Scott''s. But no one had
expected Fade to have a higher status than Scott. At this moment, they finally understood why Fade
was not intimidated by Rowena at all.
For a brief moment, everyone was dumbfounded and could not move.
At this sight, Scott snorted at Rowena and yelled, "You have to leave immediately!"
Hearing this order, Rowena came back to her senses. The expression on her face darkened and
she was filled with fury. "Scott, you were the one who actively recruited me to sign this contract. If
you drive me out now, that is a breach of contract and flouting thew."
Scott snorted and said, "Breach of contract? You must be joking, our enterprise hasn''t signed any
contract with you. We have not broken anyws."
"You, you made a promise to me that I will receive 100 million upon signing the contract." Rowena
was reluctant to let go of the 100 million fee. At this moment, she wanted to bepensated at the
very least.
However, Scott replied coldly, "Are we still talking about the 100 million? You were rude towards
Brother Fade, you should be thankful that you are still alive. Leave now!"
Rowena was incensed and feltpletely humiliated. She wanted to call her bodyguards, but
noticing Fade that was just beside her, she dared not move. In the end, she could only yell: "Without
me, your ceremony will not be a sess.Your enterprise will be a failure."
"This small enterprise is trash anyway. Let''s see how long you canst, relying on all these rubbish
artistes! Hmm! "Rowena bellowed, then she called all her bodyguards as she strode away.
Scott had no intention of persuading her to stay. Instead, he looked at Fade and said, "Brother
Fade, Would you like me to send someone to deal with Rowena?"
Fade shook his head, and said lightly, "She is not important, no worries at all. There are still many
people waiting for you outside, please go and get ready!"
Scott nodded, and then escorted the remaining six neers to the signing ceremony.
Due to the incident involving Rowena, the signing ceremony and corresponding schedule was
shortened. Fade''s speech was also cancelled. The opening ceremony of Scott Entertainment ended
rather quickly and abruptly.
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Scott Entertainment, which was surrounded by a lot of hype initially,had an opening ceremony which
was rather disappointing. This sparked a huge discussion in the industry. In particr, the signing of
Rowena Song, which was all but confirmed, was suddenly cancelled. People in the industry began
to specte about this matter and many people had their own theories on the reasons behind this.
Some spected that Scott Entertainment had insufficient funds and could note up with the
100 million as stated in the contract.
Others assumed that at thest minute, Rowena was poached by another big entertainment
company.
There were also some who said that Rowena was a total diva and had offended the management of
the enterprise. Thus she was told by the management to leave.
Amidst all the theories and spections of the people, Rowena epted an interview less than two
hours after leaving the scene. She exined in the interview about the drama behind the contract
signing.
She created this narrative that she was the victim who had been oppressed and bullied by the
company''s senior management. She even used Scott Entertainment''s senior management of
physical violence, and insinuated that they wanted to exploit and control her. She had to reject this
oppressive behavior and this led to negotiations on the contract falling apart.
Seeing such reports, Rowena''s fans and inte users who were not aware of the truth immediately
started criticizing and chiding Scott Entertainment.
Scott was from the entertainment industry, therefore he was familiar with these tactics. He
immediately responded by exining clearly what had happened. He directly disyed the internal
monitoring video of thepany, showing Rowena throwing a huge tantrum, and showing her bad
behavior towards the other artistes and staff members.
Finally, Scott made a public statement, saying that it was due to Rowena''s misconduct that they had
felt that she was not a good fit for the enterprise. Thus, the contract was cancelled. Throughout all
these press interviews and statements, he did not mention Fade at all and covered up ordingly.
Scott Entertainment''s response was well-timed. The reason given was crystal clear, and the
evidence was conclusive. This instantly caused an uproar on the Inte, and someizens
immediately started to reproach Rowena, giving her a tongueshing for acting so arrogantly. They
also praised Scott Entertainment for their transparency and integrity.
This drama and conflict,with its twists and turns, caused a stir on the Inte. For Scott
Entertainment, which was newly established, it was not necessarily a negative situation. At least the
company received a lot of publicity from this whole charade.
Of course, the loss of Rowena as the star of their enterprise was still substantial. She was after all,
a big name and would have helped Scott Entertainment establish their reputation in the industry.
Scott Entertainment still seemed tock in star power, therefore, Scott actively contacted and
auditioned other artists to see if they were the right fit for them to sign on. They would help to
rece Rowena and help establish Scott Entertainment as a mogul in the industry.
Scott was really busy with the affairs of the enterprise, so Fade did not want to disturb him . He
bade him farewell and left Scott Entertainment.
