After receiving approval, Emma began to explain, “I think the issue bet**en Director Lin and I should be considered as a personal grudge.”
“Our problems started when Director Lin’s brother-in-law began to show interest in Superstar Media’s artist, Luo Sheng. So, he tried to invite Luo Sheng to partake in his IP drama. But, as everyone knows, Director Lin’s brother-in-law is involved with some ill-reputed television channels and is battling some copyright issues. So, Luo Sheng ended up rejecting the IP drama.”
“Consequentially, I ended up offending President Fan. During one of our conversations, he even told me that his brother-in-law is a shareholder at Kaleidoscope and told me to be careful with my decisions. But, what’s wrong is wrong. I’m not going to do something immoral just to avoid offending someone.”
“I think this is the reason why Director Lin has been clinging to me. Someone must have been implanting ideas into head in bed.”
“Hmmph, we are currently discussing whether Superstar Media should be shut down,” Director Lin tried to change the subject, “Why are you bringing up personal grudges?”
“Because today’s issue wouldn’t have come about without personal grudges,” Emma struck back. “Just because you don’t like me, you’re trying to supp**ss Superstar Media. But, what right do you have to do that?”
“Don’t forget that everyone here approved to the forming of Superstar Media. Superstar Media has stuck to its boundaries and only done what it should. Why should you be making such a fuss? If it’s not because of personal grudges, what other reason could you have?”
“Let me repeat myself: we are currently discussing whether Superstar Media should be shut down.”
“If Mr. Roborts tells me that Superstar Media is no longer needed, I am more than happy to give up my identity as the CEO of Superstar Media…” Emma replied.
“I said it before, the shareholders will make the decision. If the majority agree that Superstar Media should be shut down, then we will follow fit. I always stick to my words,” Eric said. “But, after we solve the issue with Superstar Media, we will also discuss the matter with Director Li.”
Emma looked at Eric nervously, but, Eric wr*pped his arm around her shoulder and gestured for her to not worry.
“But, Mr. Roborts. I am someone that’s been at Kaleidoscope for a long time.”
“Since you no longer respect my authority, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here for a long time. It’s time to exp**ss your opinions: write down your two answers on a piece of paper and hand it over.”
Seeing the seriousness on Eric’s face, the other shareholders understood that they had to come to a conclusion today.
“Director Lin, I don’t mean to criticize you, but do you really think it’s worth ruining your relationship with Mr. Roborts for the sake of your brother-in-law?”
“Exactly. Superstar Media’s existence has no impact on us, so why must you cling to them and not let go?”
“Mr. Roborts already gave you a chance last time. You should have cherished it. Do you really want to leave the board of directors?”
Under everyone’s persuasion, Director Lin began to feel moved.
Actually, he was already feeling regretful when Eric started being serious. Unfortunately, he had already trodden too far.
Since he had already gotten to this point, there was no turning back.
At least Emma and Superstar Media were going down with him.
“Hurry and voice your opinions.”
Soon, Luke picked up the opinion box and the shareholders placed their sl*ps of paper inside.
Then, it was time to reveal the results.
“We will first announce the results of Director Lin’s fate in the board. This is something he has agreed to.”
After hearing Eric’s instruction, Luke nodded his head and began to reveal the results.
Director Lin didn’t believe that the shareholders would actually disregard their years of friendship.
He obviously didn’t understand that Eric was hinting for everyone to stand together.
“President, I have the results here with me. Over half the votes are in favor of Director Lin’s dismissal from the board of directors…”
After Director Lin heard this, his hands began to tremble. He never expected this result.
There were actually so many people waiting for him to be kicked out of the board.
But, it didn’t matter. He was going to sit back and wait for Superstar Media to join him.
Unfortunately…
…when Luke revealed the next results, Director Lin almost lost his mind.
“Votes in favor of Superstar Media’s closure is only 30% of the total votes, so the proposal will not take effect.”
“You cheated!” Director Lin cried. “Eric, you planted a trap for me to fall into.”
Eric looked coldly at Director Lin, “Emma has acted according to the contracts. There was never any need for the board to cast a vote. I’ve already given you enough face…”
“For the sake of a woman, you’ve hurt the interests of the shareholders.”
“I’ve told you before that hurting my wife in public is inadvertently the same as digging my heart out,” Eric replied calmly. “From today onwards, you have been kicked out of the board. So, just focus on being a simple shareholder.”
“This is all I will say today. Since you love your brother-in-law so much, I will specifically cause trouble for him from now on. I would like to see when President Fan will end up getting caught for all the illegal things he’s been involved in. I can already calculate how many years he will need to spend in jail!”
“How dare you compete with me? (You’re fate is yet to come…)”
Of course, Eric did not say the second half of what he was thinking. But, Director Lin and President Fan really needed to tread lightly.
The other shareholders would never provoke Eric’s authority just because they had been in Kaleidoscope for a long time. All they cared about were profits and they were well aware that only Eric could present them with the most profits. So, it was no big deal to lose one director.
In fact, most of the shareholders could tell that Director Lin was causing trouble because of personal reasons, without realizing that Eric wouldn’t fall for it.
Everyone knew that Eric doted on his wife, yet Director Lin dreamed of winning against his love.
He deserved what happened to him!
“Today’s meeting will end here. The meeting is dismissed.”
After speaking, Eric escorted Emma out of the meeting room.
He did not care about the hatred in Director Lin’s eyes. After all, there were plenty of people that hated him. He would never sacrifice Emma’s interests just because the opponent was hard to deal with. Eric was the perfect example of how a man protected a woman. In fact, he would protect her for the rest of her life.
“Is it really OK for you to protect me like this?”
“When it comes to people that bully you and insult you, I will not show them an ounce of mercy,” Eric replied. “I don’t think there is a reason to.”
“What if another shareholder does the same thing?”
Eric gently patted Emma on the head and transferred her strength through the warmth of his palms, “The matter has already passed, so there’s no point talking about it. You simply need to remember that I will protect you no matter what. That’s all you need to know.”
Ever since marrying this guy, Emma had never doubted this point.
He even kicked a shareholder out of the board of directors this time…
“If you truly feel guilty, why don’t you…repay me with your body tonight?”
As soon as Emma heard Eric’s cheeky comment, she couldn’t help but laugh, “In future, if you come across an incident like this again, you can discuss it with me first. For you, I can endure anything, but I am also ready for battle at anytime. Don’t let something like today happen again, it’s not good for Kaleidoscope’s stability, OK?”
Emma always took Eric into consideration and was willing to compromise, no matter the situation. So, he couldn’t let her worry about him.
“I’ll do as you say.”
…
However, Eric may have kicked Director Lin out of Kaleidoscope, but it didn’t mean that President Fan would give up. To be exact, he had found an excuse to act even more out of line. Especially since he felt that his brother-in-law’s dismissal from the board of directors was directly Emma’s fault.
So, he gathered his resources and decided to attack Luo Sheng as a way of getting revenge on Emma.
As a result, a large number of fake commenters began to appear online, criticizing Luo Sheng for snubbing ‘The Pirate Doctor’ and triggering a conflict bet**en fans and the production. Especially fans of the novel.
Anyone that had ever been in the industry would know how complex these people were; they followed trends and were easy to manipulate.
By rejecting ‘The Pirate Doctor’, fans saw it as Luo Sheng denying the influence of the novel.
But, this was a famous piece of writing!
