Chapter 58 - Brazen

In New Century Entertainment Company, No. 1 Hospitality Hall...

At this time, the hall was already crowded with people.

At the invitation of New Century Entertainment, nearly every major domestic media reporter had arrived and were all currently preparing for the upcoming press conference.

In today's domestic scene, the only person who could attract so many reporters to the scene was no other than Wang Jingwen. It was the first time that Wang Jingwen had made a public appearance since becoming famous. This was the biggest news currently. The major media stations would naturally not miss such a good opportunity...

In order to help Wang Jingwen build up momentum, two hours ago Cao Feifei had also posted online, saying that Wang Jingwen would hold a press conference today at New Century.

When this news came out, hundreds of enthusiastic fans rushed in from all directions.

At this point, in front of the company building inside their square was a huge crowd of people, it looked to be at least 5,000 fans gathered, it was hectic and as noisy as a fish market, with hundreds of fans chanting "Wang Jingwen, I love you" or slogans such as that, it was ear piercing and even more fans seemed to be arriving. This had caused serious traffic congestion on the road leading to New Century.

Some crazy heated fans attempted to rush into the building to see Wang Jingwen. The reinforced glass doors were almost squashed. Fortunately, New Century dispatched nearly a hundred security personnel to desperately stop them.

In this way, New Century had become the focus of attention for all the domestic people.

...

At the same time, located in the conference room on the top floor of New Century Tower.

There were no empty seats on both sides of the conference table.

In order to get a glimpse of Wang Jingwen, even several shareholders on business trips didn't hesitate to come back from abroad overnight, at this moment Wang Jingwen appeared in front of them, really giving people a feast for their eyes.

"Let us warmly welcome Miss Wang Jingwen to our New Century family."

Cao Dequan took the lead to speak. Sudden applause broke out from all over the audience, it sounded like thunder and resounded through the entire building. There were even some overly excited people crying. Obviously, many people here were Wang Jingwen's fans and were touched by her song which reflected their emotions as well.

In this passionate atmosphere, Wang Jingwen only smiled softly, and then stood up from her seat slowly. The sweet voice rang slowly: "Hello, everyone, I'm very glad that I can return to the New Century. It's my second home, but because of a misunderstanding in the past, I've had to leave. But I assure you, now that I'm back I will definitely make this a state-of-the-art companyand never let everyone down!"

Wang Jingwen smiled shyly, and most of the men present at the scene froze, completely entranced.

Even the ladies were enamoured.

All eyes were staring straight on her, as if watching an angel descending from heaven, daring not look away from Wang Jingwen for a moment, for fear that she would suddenly grow wings and fly away.

Cao Dequan and Cao Feifei were also happy, although this time they spent a lot of money in order to dig up Wang Jingwen, the father and daughter firmly believed that with Wang Jingwen's influence, coupled with her popular songs, it wouldn't take long to be able earn it back.

However, even more exciting for both father and daughter was that without Wang Jingwen singing, HuaXiang's reputation would be difficult to maintain. It wouldn't be long before that small company was closed down and Zhang Xiaohua became nothing.

In their eyes, this was the price that Zhang Xiaohua should pay. Who told him to go against their Cao family?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly rushed into the hall from outside.

It was no other than Mr. Wu who had just been fixed up by Zhang Xiaohua.

Storming up to Wang Jingwen. Lawyer Wu slammed a copy of the contract he had taken from Zhang Xiaohua on to the table and asked:

"Why didn't you honestly tell me the contents of this contract? In this contract, it clearly states that you only have the right to sing "Broken Hearted Woman," why did you tell me that you had all the rights to the songs produced by HuaXiang Entertainment? This is fraudulent and you can be held legally responsible for this!"

In an instant, the audience was silent!

The focus of attention of all was still on Wang Jingwen, but the eyes of everyone were filled with doubts. The words "fraudulent" out of the mouth of Lawyer Wu was constantly circling around the crowd staining the image of Wang Jingwen.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Dequan immediately winked at Cao Feifei. Cao Feifei nodded conscientiously and said to everyone in the conference room: "You go down and entertain those reporters, tell them that Miss Wang Jingwen is preparing and will be down there soon."

After the clearance, only Cao Dequan, Cao Feifei, Wang Jingwen and Lawyer Wu remained in the conference room. The door was closed and airtight, but the atmosphere at the scene was awkward.

"Lawyer Wu, what happened?" Cao Feifei first asked, this was the first time she saw Lawyer Wu so angry.

Not waiting for Lawyer Wu to speak, Wang Jingwen suddenly sneered, her makeup heavy face revealed a contemptuous expression, instantly breaking the pure image she had maintained earlier.

"I was unsure of the official terms in the contract as a layman to law, but to you said before that you served as the legal adviser for this company, plus you boasted of being able to turn black into white, so I didn't think it mattered, since you were an 'expert' and could handle such a small issue after all. If you can't even deal with this, how can you be the main lawyer for such a big company like New Century?"

"You..." Wu lawyer was suddenly sullen and stagnant, he was actually made speechless by Wang Jingwen.

He had thought that such a big star like Wang Jingwen would be a clear-cut person. Today, it turned out she was so shameless and brazen.

The situation was obviously her fault, but she tried to blame him, insinuating he was incompetent.

Since he had nothing to say to Wang Jingwen, he turned his attention to Cao Dequan, and explained what happened.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Cao Dequan did not blame Wang Jingwen. Instead, he pointed the finger at him and said coldly: "As the legal adviser to the company, all you had to do was handle this matter. You only proved that you are incompetent. As Miss Wang Jingwen said, if everything could be done so easily, for what would we need you lawyers?"

At the end of the day, Cao Dequan suddenly slammed his hand on to the table. With such strength he cracked the table board. His stern and sly eyes bore into him. Frightened by his sudden action Lawyer Wu jumped back in trepidation and stumbled back and forth tripping over his own feet, almost ending up on the ground.
