Chapter 1358: Chapter 1332: I Have Evidence
Hearing Ye Chen say that, Su Wanyi felt a bit comforted.
She nodded with a smile and said, "Honey, you’re right. If we keep indulging Yu Yang, there will only be more victims."
"Alright, wifey, it’s about time. Let’s not keep the reporters waiting too long," Ye Chen patted Su Wanyi on the shoulder and said.
Two People walked toward the venue.
Right now, the venue was packed, as if every seat was taken by reporters.
Seeing Su Wanyi and Ye Chen, Song Li walked up to the stage and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, next let’s welcome our President Su of Star Media Company to come on stage."
Warm applause immediately rang out from below the stage.
Hearing this, Su Wanyi walked onto the stage, waved to the reporters and said with a smile, "I’m very glad that all of you could take time out of your busy schedules to attend this press conference. I want to thank you for coming."
Just as Su Wanyi was about to continue, suddenly a reporter asked, "President Su, what is the purpose of you holding this press conference?"
This reporter’s behavior was extremely rude, but Su Wanyi didn’t get angry. She still had a smile on her face.
"I said to everyone before that if there was any progress in resolving this matter, I would let you know at the first possible moment," Su Wanyi said with a smile.
At this, murmurs rose from the audience and the venue became a bit lively.
"President Su really lives up to her reputation."
"Everyone knows Su Wanyi is a strong woman in the business world."
"She’s really amazing. I truly admire her."
The voices below the stage were all praising Su Wanyi, and they showed no sign of stopping.
"Everyone, please quiet down and listen to our President Su continue," Song Li hurriedly went on stage to keep things under control.
In an instant, the venue became quiet again and everyone stopped talking.
Su Wanyi said with a smile, "Thank you all very much for your recognition of me, and for your concern for Star Media. I know everyone is very focused on the matter of the two artists terminating their contracts and wants to know the reason behind it."
"The reason I’m holding this press conference today is to tell you the truth about what happened, and I also hope that through your reports, people in the entertainment industry will stop making wild guesses."
Ye Chen felt that Su Wanyi was really incredible. Just a moment ago she’d still looked nervous, but the moment she entered the venue, it was like she’d become a different person.
Hearing this, the venue grew even quieter. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Su Wanyi to reveal the truth.
"Actually, everyone has been speculating that it was because of the change of boss that the two artists suddenly terminated their contracts. Now I’m telling you, that part is indeed true," Su Wanyi said with a smile.
Song Li hadn’t expected Su Wanyi to say that. She couldn’t help feeling a bit worried for her. If she kept talking like this, it would basically prove that she wasn’t capable of managing the company well.
This would just confirm what the outside world was guessing—that those two artists, worried that they’d have no future after the boss changed, were willing to pay a huge penalty fee just to leave.
If she’d known earlier that this was what Su Wanyi wanted to tell everyone, she definitely would have taken the risk to persuade her otherwise.
Now that Su Wanyi had already said it, there was no way to take it back, and all Song Li could do was worry helplessly on the side.
But Ye Chen’s expression didn’t change at all. He didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate about what Su Wanyi said.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the venue grew lively again.
"Looks like President Su really isn’t suited to run an entertainment company."
"Exactly. As the saying goes, every trade has its master. Crossing industries is like crossing a mountain."
"Right, just because you’ve achieved something in one field doesn’t mean you’ll be successful in every field."
"Sigh, as the saying goes, a fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in. No one wants to work somewhere with no prospects."
Hearing the reporters’ chatter, Song Li grew even more anxious, especially at that last reporter’s comment.
Su Wanyi wasn’t affected at all. On the contrary, she was very pleased inside. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
You have to know, the more viciously these reporters attacked her while they didn’t know the truth, the more it would highlight Yu Yang’s despicable shamelessness later—and her image as a victim.
After all, the world always sympathizes with victims.
"Please let me finish speaking," Su Wanyi said with a smile.
The reporters who had just spoken thought Su Wanyi was done and that everything had been settled, but they hadn’t expected her to have more to say. That naturally piqued everyone’s curiosity.
Su Wanyi didn’t continue right away. She waited until the murmurs died down and the venue quieted somewhat before she slowly opened her mouth.
"Just now I only said half of it. It’s true that the change of boss led to the two artists terminating their contracts. But the other half is that this whole thing, from beginning to end, was orchestrated by Yu Yang, and even the penalty fees were paid by him."
At this moment, the reporters all stared at Su Wanyi in shock. What she meant was that the former boss of Star Media, Yu Yang, had manipulated the entire incident.
This was poaching—an act despised in every industry.
Song Li was also stunned. She hadn’t expected Yu Yang to actually do something like this.
After the venue fell silent for a moment, a reporter suddenly spoke up, "President Su, you can’t just dump all the responsibility on someone else to shirk your own, can you? Besides, those two artists also said earlier that they simply didn’t want to stay at this company anymore."
His words stirred up the dissatisfaction of the other reporters as well. They even felt that Su Wanyi was truly an irresponsible boss, and whatever good impression they’d had of her instantly vanished.
All the reporters present were paying close attention to this matter. They had all watched the previous entertainment-channel interviews with the two artists, and it was nothing like what Su Wanyi was saying now.
Everyone thought that because of what she had just admitted earlier, she was now trying to patch things up by making up this story.
But Song Li didn’t see it that way. She remembered that Yu Yang had done something similar before.
So, from her point of view, what Su Wanyi said wasn’t impossible.
But even if she believed it, it was useless. The reporters would need evidence.
Su Wanyi didn’t speak again. She just kept smiling as she looked down at the reporters.
"Fine, even if things are really like President Su says, do you have any evidence to prove it?" another female reporter asked.
Of course, among these people there were a small number who believed what Su Wanyi said, but they also hoped she could produce evidence.
After all, if there was evidence, everything would be easy to handle.
However, everyone also felt that in such a short time, it was impossible for Su Wanyi to find any evidence. You had to know, Yu Yang was sly as a fox. If he really did something like this, how could he possibly leave anyone a handle to grab?
Everyone was waiting for Su Wanyi’s answer, but she just kept smiling and didn’t say a word.
At this moment, Ye Chen walked onto the stage and said with a smile, "I have evidence."
