Chapter 493: A Great Earning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Murong Qiao’s att.i.tude was calm and unhurried, and she didn’t explain the situation for a long time.

In the eyes of the outside world, it was a guilty conscience and proof that she couldn’t defend herself. Now that she was exposed for the bad things she had done, she couldn’t make a sound at all.

In this way, the comments about Murong Qiao plagiarizing became much more firm. It even made many people who originally firmly believed in Moon G.o.ddess’ integrity and wanted to support Murong Qiao waver.

“You really can’t even say a word after being caught? Even if you post a perfunctory message… How can I believe you, Moon G.o.ddess? I’ve clearly always supported you. [Crying]”

“The way she silently admitted her mistake is really sincere. Such an author is truly very rare.”

“This time, she can’t even be bothered to quibble after being caught.

The previous advertis.e.m.e.nt for Three Thousand Realms had been bombarded by everyone. Even under the urging of the anxious fans, the account that belonged to Moon G.o.ddess didn’t change at all.

There were no waves or signs of life. It was no different from death.

“Don’t worry about her. She’s probably very busy in the company now.”

“Previous poster, quickly tell me in detail.”

“There’s nothing to say in detail. It’s just that many artistes in CG Company have jumped ship to other companies. They probably all know that their boss can’t support them anymore.”

It was fine if no one mentioned it. When someone said that, everyone looked at the company’s situation and realized that many artistes who were originally under CG had changed their labels.

Moreover, they all posted that they had already left CG.

“It’s good to leave. This is a great move. Boohoo, I was worried that you would be destroyed by your boss.”

“The faster you run, the better. Why would you stay and wait to be slandered?

You did the right thing!”

“With such a boss, if it were me, I would run too. Otherwise, sooner or later, the fire would burn me. At that time, I wouldn’t even know how I died.”

“Ah, but I’m a fan of Shi Yang and Chi Hanjing. The two of them haven’t moved…”

-Previous poster, stop talking. My situation is even worse. Qu Xi and Qu Xiu directly replied that they won’t leave. I’m about to die of anxiety.

When something happened to CG Company, many fans who paid attention to the artistes would definitely speculate immediately.

Before they could sigh at the collapse of the house, they saw the other artistes running away to a “better future”. Then, they looked at their idol who had not moved.

The fans were even more anxious than the main character. One by one, they persuaded their idols in the comments section and through private messages. Seeing that the backstage was almost bombarded with despair, Qu Xi was silent for a long time before she finally couldn’t help but sigh. She turned to look at her brother, Qu Xiu, who was plucking the guitar strings.

-Big Brother, why are they all like this? Everyone just follows the rumors on the Internet.” Qu Xi threw her phone aside in frustration.

She and her Big Brother had been groomed by Murong Qiao. After being fished out of a place like the bar, they received resources and treatment that they didn’t even dare to think about. Moreover, they were now extremely famous. Therefore, Qu Xi firmly believed that Murong Qiao was a good person, and she wouldn’t do something as shameless as plagiarism.

Qu Xiu didn’t look up. “Let them say whatever they want. We just have to focus on singing our own songs.”

Only by earning more money for Murong Qiao could they repay her kindness to them.

As for the possibility of being poached away, neither Qu Xi nor Qu Xiu had thought of this problem. They had long decided to develop in this company and their thoughts would not change in the future.

Qu Xiu didn’t pay attention to the rumors on the Internet, but his calm expression made Qu Xi’s heart skip a beat.

“I know the logic, but-” Qu Xi opened her mouth. “But I feel terrible when I see them say that the boss is not good.”

The last sentence became softer and softer, turning into a mutter.

The door of the recording studio was suddenly pushed open. The person who entered was Shi Yang.

Shi Yang didn’t expect there to be someone else inside and stopped in his tracks. “…You’re not done recording?”

After saying that, he glanced at the time on his phone. Seeing that it was the agreed time, he couldn’t help but be puzzled.

Qu Xi hurriedly got up and jumped down from her seat. She waved her hand and explained, “We’re done. You can use the room.”

The recording of the song had ended ten minutes ago. It was Qu Xi who looked at the private messages and couldn’t help but lose track of the time.

“…Shi Yang,” Qu Xi suddenly called out to him.

Shi Yang turned around and raised his eyebrows. “Yes?¹

“You… will you leave too?” Qu Xi asked after hesitating for a long time. They had entered the company at about the same time. Seeing that Shi Yang was never very enthusiastic about his work, Qu Xi felt that the other party was also the kind of person who would be poached.

When Shi Yang heard this, he sized her up, making Qu Xi nervous.

“I’m raising my pigs well. Why should I leave?”

When he said this, there was a puzzled expression on his face, as if he had heard a strange question.

Only then did Qu Xi remember that this person was not after fame at all. He was focused on raising pigs.

But if one really thought about it carefully… Other than Murong Qiao, there was probably no other company that would allow their artistes to do this.

“No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Those people who left have no foresight at all!” Qu Xi said angrily.

However, Qu Xi was the rare few who thought this way. Those artistes who terminated their contracts and jumped ship didn’t feel that they had made the wrong decision at all. They even felt smug that they had profited greatly. Many people were still hesitating. Seeing that the others had left, they also wanted to follow.

“Aren’t you guys leaving? Yesterday, a manager came to me and said that he could pay the compensation for the breach of contract and asked me to go to their company…”

As a low-level artiste, Shu Xin asked the others timidly.

She had been in the company for a while, but she didn’t get any posting. Now that she saw so many people leave, she wavered.

“What’s there to leave for? Such people definitely won’t receive good treatment after jumping ship. Don’t think that just because they left in glory, that they might not ask to come back in the future.” Luo Wanbai, who was pa.s.sing by, heard Shu Xin’s words and replied casually.

Ever since she entered the company with Murong Qiao’s help, she had been focused on her work.

The Luo Family had also witnessed incidents of employees jumping ship like this in the past. Luo Wanbai had seen it many times, so she naturally didn’t panic.

Shu Xin was persuaded by her. Thinking about how Song Han, who was a level higher than her, had left, this was a chance for her.

Thinking of this, she retracted the hesitation in her heart and strengthened her determination.

After this upheaval, the number of artistes under CG had decreased by nearly a third.

Looking at the two-plus pages of detailed compensation on the report, Murong Qiao narrowed her eyes in joy.

After deducting the cost of recruitment and training, the amount of compensation for breaching the contract was quite high.

This was a great earning.

“I like this kind of generous people.” Murong Qiao tapped the paper and stepped gently on the carpet with her toes, spinning leisurely on the chair. Who wouldn’t like having money sent to their door?

Murong Qiao looked back. “Remember to take back the resources from them and redistribute them. Also, arrange the clarification to be released tonight.” At least the remaining people trusted her very much. How could she be a good boss without giving some rewards?

“Alright, I’ll do it now.” Jiang Chi nodded and left.

The public relations team had long prepared the relevant clarification instructions. Coupled with the evidence and doc.u.ments that Murong Qiao had sorted out, they were just waiting for someone to give the order to begin the operation.

Hence, just as the plagiarism incident was about to go down the trending topic, Murong Qiao “pushed” it up again..
