Chapter 2260 The Shady Story Is Exposed
2260
"What did you say?!" Li Ming said with a dark face, "Xiaoxiao, don't forget who trained you. Without the company, would you be where you are now? Do you know how much the company has invested in you? You Do you think that just because you won second place is really your strength? Isn’t it because the company is behind it? Now you actually..."
Bang bang bang…
Before Li Ming finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
"What's the matter?" Li Ming asked angrily.
"Mr. Li, Xu Taiping is here." said the person outside the door.
"What Xu Taiping, I don't know him, let him... No, wait, is it that Xu Taiping?!" Li Ming shouted excitedly.
"Yes, it's that Xu Taiping." said the person outside the door.
"Let Mr. Xu come in quickly, no, I'll go greet him!" Li Ming said as he ran to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, Li Ming saw Xu Taiping outside the door.
Xu Taiping was followed by two people. One of the two people had a cold face, and the other was wearing an ancient costume and holding something wrapped in gray cloth in his hands.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu!" Li Ming bowed slightly, stretched out his hands, and smiled all over his face.
"Mr. Li." Xu Taiping smiled and held Li Ming's hand, and then said, "I have admired your name for a long time."
Li Ming was confused by Xu Taiping's long-respected name. He thought about himself as the boss of a third-rate brokerage company. When did he become famous? It seems that my name has no use other than unspoken rules for those art school students who have just started out and are ignorant, right? Is it possible that Xu Taiping has been secretly paying attention to him? Does he know that he is actually a business wizard?
"I have admired Mr. Xu for a long time. I really admire Mr. Xu's deeds. From unknown to the richest man in China, to the richest man in Asia, in just one or two years, the most rare thing is that you From the richest man in Asia to having nothing, and then back to being the richest man in Asia, it only takes a few months. Such a performance is amazing!" Li Ming flattered him for a while.
Xu Taiping felt a little comfortable being flattered by Li Ming and said, "Mr. Li, can I enter your office?"
"Hey, look, I forgot about this. Mr. Xu, please come in!" Li Ming said, turning around and leading Xu Taiping into the office.
"Why are you still sitting there stupidly? Mr. Xu is here!" Li Ming glared at Xu Xiaoxiao and said.
"Ah!" Xu Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, bowed to Xu Taiping and said, "Mr. Xu."
"Xu Xiaoxiao, right? I saw your performance last night, it was very good!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the compliment." Xu Xiaoxiao said fearfully.
"Mr. Xu, sit down!" Li Ming said.
Xu Taiping nodded and sat on the sofa. Li Ming also quickly sat on the sofa, and then said to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, make tea."
"Making tea?" Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and then said, "Mr. Li, how about I ask your Ming Shu to come in?"
"What do you want him to do? You make tea. Don't you know how?" Li Ming asked.
"I..." Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that he was not here to make tea for others, but when he thought that Li Ming was his boss, Xu Xiaoxiao could only swallow these words. He cleared up the things on the table, and then Started making tea.
"Mr. Li, I'm here this time. I mainly want to ask you for something. I like to be straightforward, so I'm more direct." Xu Taiping said.
"Mr. Xu, just say it's okay! If I, Li, can be of help, I will definitely do it!" Li Ming patted his chest with an expression as if a man would die for his confidant.
"Then let me tell you, I came here mainly to sign Xu Xiaoxiao." Xu Taiping said.
"Sign Xu Xiaoxiao?!" Li Ming was stunned. He thought Xu Taiping was asking him for help, but he didn't expect that he would sign Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was making tea, was stunned when she heard this. She glanced at Xu Taiping in surprise and found that Xu Taiping was looking at her with a smile.
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly lowered his head, blushing a little.
"Yes, sign Xu Xiaoxiao!" Xu Taiping nodded.
"Mr. Xu, I don't understand this!" Li Ming said doubtfully, "As far as I know, the number one idol trainee this time, the most popular one, Jin Xiyan, is from your company, right?"
"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded.
"Since it's from your company, why do you still want to sign one? Don't you know that this can easily lead to duplication of artists? And if you sign another person who came from the same talent show and is still the second place, this will not matter to the third person. This is not a good thing for one person!" Li Ming said.
"Why should I sign Xu Xiaoxiao? You should know this soon... By the way, please turn on the TV." Xu Taiping said.
"Turn on the TV?!" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV in the office.
"Click on the entertainment channel." Xu Taiping said.
"Entertainment channel?" Li Ming doubtfully changed the channel to the entertainment channel.
The entertainment channel is showing some entertainment news.
"What's wrong? Mr. Xu!" Li Ming asked.
"Look at it for a while, I guess it's almost there." Xu Taiping said.
"I guess it's about to happen?" Li Ming was completely confused by Xu Taiping's words, but he still watched TV seriously.
The TV played for about five minutes.
Suddenly, the TV station broadcast a piece of bombshell news.
"Breaking news, yesterday's idol trainee Bird's Nest Night revealed a shocking scandal. Champion Kim Hee-yeon revealed that she encountered investor Xu Taiping's hidden rules. At the same time, the Bird's Nest Night voting statistics official broke the news that the voting data had been prepared in advance! The champion has already been determined ! Next, let’s immediately connect with Kim Hee-yeon, the idol trainee champion who exposed the scandal!”
The TV station screen switched to a hotel.
Several press badges faced Kim Hee-yeon.
On the screen, Jin Xiyan was crying with tears in her eyes.
"I...I really can't get over that hurdle in my heart...It's unfair that I won the championship. I want to say sorry to all the people who support me and like me. I let you down. I can't have this championship. He It belongs to someone else..." Jin Xiyan said to the camera.
"Please tell us the whole story!" the reporter said.
"Well, just the day before, before the finals started, Xu Taiping, the investor in Idol Producers, my boss, found me and asked me to go to his room. I thought at first we were going to talk about something. , but I didn’t expect that Xu Taiping actually wanted to unspoken rules for me. He promised me that as long as I accepted his unspoken rules, he would be able to help me win the championship... He is my boss and my benefactor. Coupled with the temptation of the championship, in the end, I still couldn't resist him. I was unspoken by him. I stayed in his room for more than an hour. Finally, in order to cover up others' eyes, he called the producers in the industry, They said they wanted to talk to me about something... You have seen the result of this matter. Yesterday, I won the championship as I wished. I heard that the voting data was directly changed by the backend. However, to win this championship, I won the championship in one night. I couldn't sleep because I didn't really rely on my ability to win this championship. I thought about it all night, and finally, I decided to expose this matter. I can't let unspoken rules run rampant in the entertainment industry!" Jin Xiyan said with tears in her eyes. .
"Is this really the case? Is there really a shady story?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, that's the truth... I don't need to lie about my future. I have already won the championship and I am the biggest winner. Why should I stand up and ruin my future? I know, I told this matter If I come out, my future will be over, but I still have to say it, otherwise I will not be able to feel at ease in my life!" Jin Xiyan said.
Jin Xiyan replied, and the camera suddenly turned back to the host.
"The above is the latest news we got from Jin Xiyan. We will continue to pay attention to the whole matter. Please pay attention to this station!!" the host of the entertainment channel said.
Li Ming looked at the TV in astonishment, then looked at Xu Taiping, and then asked, "Mr. Xu, what is going on?!"
"Now do you understand why I signed Xu Xiaoxiao away? Because Jin Xiyan has betrayed me." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Betrayed you? Why?" Li Ming asked doubtfully. As a senior practitioner in the industry, Li Ming actually knew the hidden rules of talent shows, so he was not surprised by the shady stories of idol trainees. He was surprised. Yes, why did Jin Xiyan want to expose Xu Taiping? Moreover, looking at Xu Taiping's appearance, he actually knew about it in advance.
"Maybe it's for money, maybe it's for profit, it's possible, but no matter what, he betrayed me, so we also plan to give up on him and choose another person to train, and Xu Xiaoxiao, in my opinion, is a A very good candidate." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"I, I don't accept unspoken rules!" Xu Xiaoxiao shook his head.
"Stop talking!" Li Ming glared at Xu Xiaoxiao, then looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, it's not impossible to give Xiaoxiao to you, but you also saw what Jin Xiyan said. , the actual number of votes was that Xiaoxiao was the champion. This incident was exposed, and Xiaoxiao's popularity suddenly increased, and she was still a victim, so if you want to sign her, you will have to spend more money! "
"Do you think what Jin Xiyan said is true?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
"Oh? Isn't that right? Didn't you directly change the backend vote data?" Li Ming asked.
"Continue watching the news." Xu Taiping pointed at the TV and said.
Li Ming looked at the TV. At this time, the host on the TV said, "The latest news is that we contacted an idol trainee who was counting the votes backstage at the Bird's Nest Night. He has the latest big news and wants to break the news to us. , now, we will contact the frontline reporters immediately! Watch the latest live reports sent back by the frontline reporters!"
Following the host's words, the TV camera turned and a middle-aged man appeared in front of the camera.
