Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Has Heng Kong Entertainment Suffered a Huge Loss?
Ye Shu whispered, "What’s going on?"
Xiao Xiao replied, "Just come inside with me and you’ll see."
As the guests had mostly arrived, Ye Shu followed Xiao Xiao into the hotel.
Upon reaching the second floor of the hotel and stepping out of the elevator, Ye Shu was immediately stunned!
The second floor was dedicated to hosting banquets, and it was divided down the middle into two areas, A and B. Area A was where Heng Kong Entertainment Group held its banquet, while Area B was Wansheng Entertainment Group’s spot.
By now, Area B was filled with laughter and chatter, with celebrities everywhere, greeting each other warmly with drinks in hand, and Song Xiaoxin was strutting among these industry giants with a wine glass, flaunting herself unabashedly with pride.
But in Area A, apart from Heng Kong Entertainment’s own staff, not a single guest had taken a seat. Everyone who had signed the wall at the hotel entrance had run off to Area B...
Despite being mentally prepared, the number of signatures on the wall had given hope for a successful event. However, it turned out that the opening banquet was indeed a flop.
Ou Linlin and Sun Nanjue had also arrived by then, and they immediately understood the situation.
Angrily with his hands on his hips, Sun Nanjue glared towards Wansheng Entertainment’s area and said, "What kind of people are they? All talk but no show, they didn’t even bother to sit down with us. Isn’t this a bit too disrespectful?"
An Zhe wasn’t as affected, and smiled helplessly, "It’s an age of survival of the fittest. With Beidou Group’s financial power, why would they offend Song Xiaoxin for us? Let’s just accept the reality."
Suddenly, Ou Linlin recalled and said, "Wait, what about the twenty new recruits who just signed probationary contracts? Where are they?"
Pointing towards one corner of Area B, Ye Shu said, "They’re all over there, serving drinks to the big shots in the industry..."
"I’m so pissed!" Ou Linlin kicked in Sun Nanjue’s direction, exclaiming, "Look at you, and that damn junior of yours. The students she trained, not a single one has any backbone? They’re a bunch of scumbags!"
Sun Nanjue too was visibly upset, "I had no idea it would turn out like this. How come these students are already so mercenary before even leaving school? I’m so mad!"
Seeing the scene, the hotel manager came over with a smile and said, "Mr. Ye, it’s time to start the banquet. I was wondering if you still want to..."
"Start what? Are you trying to provoke us? You think we don’t know what kind of dirty tricks your boss has done behind the scenes?" Ou Linlin said, fuming with rage.
"Come on, come on, today is our grand opening at Heng Kong Entertainment. How can we not have our opening banquet?" After speaking, Ye Shu smiled at the hotel manager, "Please start the banquet on time, and furthermore, I want to proceed as initially planned and prepare a full hundred tables!"
The hotel manager was stunned, "Mr. Ye, are you kidding? A hundred tables? But in Area A, it’s just a few dozen people, all of them your staff. At most, it would be three or four tables, right?"
The hotel staff burst into laughter upon hearing this, clearly with the boss’s blessing.
Hearing the laughter, those industry giants looked over to Area A where Heng Kong Entertainment was situated, with faces full of mockery and disdain as if enjoying a spectacle, not a single one seeming to give respect to Heng Kong Entertainment.
