…he still felt that something was missing.
Of course, Luo Sheng would have never expected that the problems triggered by him had just started.
Since Luo Sheng didn’t want to take on the IP drama, the production, of course, couldn’t keep waiting. So, they ended up selecting another famous young actor and received a lot of attention as soon as they announced it to the public.
Afterwards, news that Luo Sheng had rejected the drama began to circulate.
When it came to such a big IP production, the public couldn’t understand why Luo Sheng would reject it.
“Just wait and see. As soon as this drama becomes a hit, Luo Sheng will regret his decision.”
“This drama is so entertaining. Luo Sheng sure doesn’t know what’s good for him.”
“F*ck, I can’t believe that Luo Sheng had the guts to reject this drama. Is there something wrong with his brain?”
No matter how badly the public criticized Luo Sheng, he did not give a word of response. At the same time, not a single trace of regret appeared on his face.
However, President Fan’s evil beliefs swept all the way from his sister to the ears of Kaleidoscope’s shareholders. After a bit of creativity and exaggeration, the original message was skewed in a way that targeted people’s weaknesses; something that President Fan’s sister was good at doing.
So, Kaleidoscope soon held an urgent board meeting headed by Eric.
The main topic of discussion was the meaning of Superstar Media’s existence.
“Mr. Roborts, you previously told us that Superstar Media would scout new talent and eventually pass them on to Kaleidoscope after they became famous. But, why hasn’t Luo Sheng signed with us even though he’s qualified and why has Xing Lan been returned to Superstar Media?”
“Secondly, I’m sure you’ve witnessed Superstar Media’s fame in the industry; everyone has. Even though Emma’s never leeched off Kaleidoscope’s name, everyone knows that she is your wife and that she is being backed up and supported by you. As a subsidiary of Kaleidoscope, Superstar Media has outshined it’s mother company. What is the meaning of this? Are they trying to rebel?”
“Thirdly, Emma is ruthless and heartless. On the surface, she is trying to set a good example for the industry, but in reality, she is merely creating enemies for Kaleidoscope. Although she’s made a few artists famous, Kaleidoscope is also capable of doing that. In fact, we can do it better than her.”
“In conclusion, I don’t think there is any point to Superstar Media’s existence. What does everyone think?”
This particular shareholder directed his sharp questioning towards Eric and supported his thoughts with evidence and reasoning that triggered the other shareholders emotions.
“Mr. Roborts, Superstar Media simply exists because you dote on Emma. However, she is your wife and not ours. Please consider the interests of your shareholders.”
Eric did not say a word as he sat at the head of the table and glared at the speaking shareholder.
On his body, he wore a dull colored stripey vintage suit and carried with him an air of nobleness like a king.
“Who’s interests has she threatened?” Eric asked coldly. “All of you went home with bonuses this year. So, how could you tell me that Superstar Media has affected your interests? That is an insult to the money you are holding in your hands.”
“Secondly, do you really think that Kaleidoscope would have less enemies if Emma wasn’t around? Right now, the entire industry has their eyes on Superstar Media and is ready to jump on them at any moment. Because of this, Kaleidoscope has been able to relax and not use their PR in a long time. Yet, you’re telling me that she’s been creating enemies for us? She’s stepped in front and shielded us from 80% of our potential enemies. Is there something wrong with your eyes?”
“Thirdly, we’ve just discussed our market research last week. Whether it’s our reputation, influence, the scale of our business or our artists, Kaleidoscope has seen an improvement from previous years and has maintained our top position in the industry. So, Superstar Media’s existence does not affect us, it is merely a subsidiary. In what way does it pose a threat?”
“Fourthly, if you don’t control your brother-in-law, you’re going to be kicked out of Kaleidoscope soon.”
After speaking, Eric looked at the other shareholders, “I don’t remember Kaleidoscope’s shareholders ever being this easy to manipulate. Have you all lost your ability to judge as you grew older?”
“As for the issue with contracts, they are already in my hands. I’m just better than you at determining the right timing and making appropriate arrangements. So, Director Lin, I think the thing you should focus on now, is how to avoid being brainwashed by your brother-in-law…” Eric said as he pointed to his head.
“As a decision maker, I think I know what I’m doing better than anyone. You can come look for me again when Kaleidoscope struggles to continue operating. From now on, don’t waste my time with pointless meetings like this.”
“Especially when personal grudges are involved!”
Eric’s words were ruthless, without an ounce of mercy..
He was truly angered. These people should be more far-sighted than the average person, otherwise, how could they be shareholders of Kaleidoscope? Yet, they were so easily manipulated. So, how could he not be angry?
“When Mr. Roborts allowed an artist to start their own company, it was already an exception. If he doesn’t apply more control, won’t other artists end up following fit?”
Eric was already standing up when the shareholder added this. So, when he heard these words, he lifted his head and looked piercingly at the man.
Apparently, the meeting wasn’t over.
“What do the rest of you think?” Eric asked the other shareholders.
Of course, the other shareholders knew that, with Eric around, nothing could possibly go wrong. If they offended him now and Kaleidoscope didn’t encounter any problems, it was completely possible for him to give a portion of the shares to Emma and allow her into the board of directors.
Eric obviously had his limits; he did not mix business with pleasure. So, there was no reason for them to seek trouble with Eric.
After all, a good portion of the shareholders felt that the meeting was pointless from the start.
“Kaleidoscope’s operations have been in the hands of the Roborts Family for many years without any problems. So, I choose to continue placing my trust in Mr. Roborts.”
“Me too. I don’t think Superstar Media poses a threat towards Kaleidoscope.”
“I agree. I understand what Mr. Roborts has said and am aware that someone is complaining with personal grudges. I think it’s best if this person doesn’t interrupt everyone from their work.”
“I think Emma has done really well by standardizing some of the ugliness seen in the industry. Kaleidoscope has never done anything illegal, so what Emma’s done is actually good for Kaleidoscope.”
After hearing what the shareholders had to say, Eric immediately stood up from his seat. However, before he left, he looked threateningly at the trouble-causing shareholder.
Seeing this, the shareholder immediately ran over to stand in Eric’s way, “Mr. Roborts, don’t blame me for doing this, I was simply protecting the interests of the shareholders.”
“I don’t think you’re very smart,” Eric replied. “By causing trouble for my wife, right in front of me, you are inadvertently digging my heart out!”
“You watch yourself…”
After speaking, Eric left the meeting room and returned to his office.
Meanwhile, Luke followed behind. His instincts told him that Eric was truly angered.
“President, we need to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If the shareholders have bad intentions and decide to cause trouble, it’s going to be annoying and hateful.”
“You don’t need to tell me that,” Eric replied calmly.
“What about the Madam…?”
“Keep your mouth shut,” Eric ordered.
…
Even though Eric told Luke not to reveal a thing, Emma still ended up hearing about the meeting. This was because President Fan ended up giving her a phone call.
“President Miller, have you heard that Superstar Media is about to topple over?”
“I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about.”
“Haha, I heard that Kaleidoscope has just held a board meeting and Superstar Media was their main topic of discussion.”
“Did you think that Eric wouldn’t receive any complaints towards the exception he made for you to open your own business? The more famous Superstar Media becomes, the more doubt he will receive. Shouldn’t you stop being so selfish?”
After hearing this, Emma’s heart paused for a second, not knowing what to do.
But, there was no way that she’d allow the man to notice this.
“If President Fan stops acting so sneaky, I’m sure the world would be a much more peaceful place.”
“Hmmph, let’s see who topples over first.”
After hanging up the phone, Emma immediately contacted Luke. Of course, she already guessed that Eric told Luke not to say a thing, so she was straightforward with him.
“Luke, President Fan told me that Kaleidoscope held a sudden board meeting, is that right?”
Luke suddenly felt a sense of guilt…
Emma wasn’t easy to fool…
“President Fan has already told me everything, there’s no point lying to me.”
