Chapter 179
"If this is what I have to do, I rather not be an idol!" Yuri Zhang shouted with a serious face. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
"Miss Zhang, please think this through. You have any idea how many other girls out there wished that they could debut? No matter how many times they auditioned, they couldn't find the right person to help them do so. Yet now here I am, giving you this once in a lifetime opportunity, but you don't know how to appreciate it. What a waste!" Hendrik Dong shook his head and sighed. The more he spoke, the more serious he became. His face was masked by a look of concern for Yuri Zhang.
Yuri Zhang was so mad she couldn't even speak.
Fade Chen's eyes were cold and distant. He walked up to the director and slapped him across the face, shouting at him in disgust, "People like you who use inappropriate methods to teach newbies are what makes the industry corrupted. And you dare speak in such an obstinate tone."
"You, you actually hit me." The director shouted. He didn't dare to speak to Fade Chen, so he could only shout at Yuri Zhang,
"Yuri Zhang, you had better make your friend stop. Or else I will make sure you're blacklisted and that you will never ever have a career in entertainment again."
Yuri Zhang did not even bat an eyelid at Hendrik Dong.
"Blacklisted?!" Fade Chen sneered. "People like you are the ones who should be blacklisted."
As he spoke, Fade Chen took out his phone and dialed Fatty Huang's number, speaking directly into the phone, "Fatty Huang, please look up someone for me. He is a director called Hendrik Dong. I don't wish to see him in the entertainment industry ever again."
"Will do, Brother Fade. Rest assured, I'll settle this." Fatty Huang didn't ask for anymore details and started doing what he needed to do.
Listening to Fade Chen on the phone, Hendrik Dong said in a nonchalant manner,"Who do you think you are? You, blacklist me? This must be a joke. Stop trying to act so tough, I'll have you know..."
He didn't think that Fade Chen's phone call was real. After all, if he really was someone big in the entertainment industry, he would've already helped Yuri Zhang rise to the top. She wouldn't have needed to come here for an audition like this.
But before he could finish his sentence, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was an investor's phone number. Hendrik Dong quickly picked up the phone and answered, "Chief Wang..."
As soon as he said a word, a series of loud roars could be heard coming from the other side of the call, "Hendrik Dong, what the f*ck did you do? If you have a death wish, do not drag me along with you. I have no intentions of being dragged along."
Hendrik Dong felt confused as he didn't understand why he was being scolded. So he asked, "Chief Wang, what on earth happened? I..."
"You don't know what happened?" Chief Wang roared, "Chief Huang just notified everyone within our industry that if anyone had any business with you, they'd be blacklisted. I just invested 50 million in your company and you pull this sh*t on me."
"What? Blacklisted me?" Hendrik Dong was shocked. He glanced at Fade Chen, still finding it hard to believe. He continued questioning, "Chief Wang, which Chief Huang are you talking about?" "Who else? The one who's been famous in Bay City recently." Chief Wang shouted.
"What?! That Chief Huang?" Hendrik Dong exclaimed. The look on his face changed dramatically.
The Chief Huang who they were talking about was actually Scott Huang's father. The Huang family was close to Uncle Wei. Following the downfall of the Wan family's company, Long Enterprise expanded rapidly and even began to infiltrate into the neighbouring cities.
Because of this, the Huang Family also took the opportunity to expand.
By doing this, the reputation of the Huang Family in several downtown circles began to rise. In one go, they manage to dethrone several other bosses in the other cities.
With just one notice from Chief Huang, Hendrik Dong would never again hold a title or job in Bay City. Even though the Huang Family didn't hold as much of a say in the other nearby cities, all they needed to do was say a word and naturally the bosses would comply.
After all, Hendrik Dong was just a third-rate director. Compared to the Huang Family, there was a clear choice on who's side should they be on.
"Hendrik Dong, I've said what I wanted to say. If you don't clean up your mess, don't blame me for not being a good friend." After saying this, Chief Wang hung up.
Right after that call ended, his phone rang again. His phone kept ringing with all sorts of notifications. Social media, messages, phone calls, you name it. There was no need to look at them closely as anyone could tell that they were all about him being blacklisted.
For just a moment, Hendrik Dong's face was pale and blank. Locking his gaze with Fade Chen, he was full of fear and disbelief. "Who, who are you? How do you know Chief Huang? Why did you..."
Fade Chen was not interested in talking to him. With one leg he kicked Hendrik Dong out of the way and grabbed onto Yuri Zhang's hand, pulling her out of the room.
After returning to the hotel at the tourist site with Yuri Zhang, an angry Momo Soo rushed over to them after hearing the news. If she could, she would've ran down that hill and give Master Guo and Director Dong a good beating.
After saying a few words to her, Fade Chen handed things over to Momo Soo. She wriggled under the covers of Yuri Zhang's bed and spent the night sleeping beside her while comforting her.
The next day, the tourist site management also found out about what had happened. The person in charge came to the hotel personally to apologised to Yuri Zhang. Aside from feeling apologetic, they were also mad. They decided to sue Hendrik Dong and demanded that he compensate for their loss.
At the same time, the new director, who had arrived from Bay City just overnight, agreed to take over and finished filming the advertisement.
After resting for another day, Yuri Zhang wasn't feeling as enthusiastic as she was when she had just arrived. Clearly she was affected by what had happened and now had a bad impression on the entertainment industry.
In an effort to comfort Yuri Zhang, Momo Soo dragged Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen to Hanover City. She wanted to spend some time partying with a senior she knew from her university's student union.
The tourist site management had someone send them over to the city. Following the address provided, the three of them arrived at a high-end district.
Fade Chen scanned his surroundings. He deduced that the properties here would be pretty pricey although incomparable to the villas. But for a place like Hanover City, this district would be among the top 3 with the highest priced properties. It seems like Momo Soo's senior was someone rich.
After telling the security guard her senior's name, their details were recorded and they were allowed to enter.
Surprisingly, the senior didn't come to welcome them. Instead, she gave them her house number and told them to come by themselves.
The three of them didn't think much about it. After looking around, they finally arrived at her house.
They then rung the doorbell a few times before the door swung open and a young woman walked out.
Fade Chen looked at the woman. She was only 21 or 22 years old, but she was dressed up in a very mature manner. Her shoulder-length hair was dyed blonde and she had quite a lot of make up on. She was wearing a very short skirt that revealed almost half her thighs and had on heels that were high enough to reach the sky.
"Senior, we've arrived." Momo Soo smiled and began to introduce the both of them, "Senior, this is Yuri Zhang, my roommate. I've told you about her before. This is Fade Chen, my friend."
Following this, Momo Soo then introduced
her senior to the both of them, "Guys, this is Chessca Tan, my senior. She's Bay City University's student union's vice president."
