Yilin Talent Agency Headquarters
[Scene Translation]
The mont the executives stepped outside, their eyes locked onto Ling Xi'er, Bai Hanyan, and the unfamiliar young man. None recognized Ye Chen—the file from the forr CEO had included only a phone number, no photo.
Liu Zhigang (to Yang Xuemin, voice clipped):
"I'll handle this. The new CEO's arrival can't be disrupted."
Yang Xuemin (nodding coldly):
"Rein Ling Xi'er in. Her theatrics are... unprofessional."
[Dialogue Reinforcent]
Ling Xi'er (smirking as Liu approaches):
"Pack your desks, losers. You're done here."
Liu Zhigang (glaring at the trio):
"Explain yourselves. The CEO's minutes away—this circus reflects poorly on my departnt."
Ling Xi'er (batting false lashes):
"They bullied , Liu-zong! That intern—" (points at Ye Chen) "—and this washed-up singer!" (gestures at Bai Hanyan) "They're poisoning our corporate culture!"
Bai Hanyan (voice trembling):
"That's not true! She—"
Liu Zhigang (cutting her off):
"Silence! I don't need a play-by-play." (turns to Ling Xi'er) "Your concerns are noted. HR will... review their conduct."
Ling Xi'er (grinning viciously):
"Fire them both. Today."
Liu Zhigang (feigning impartiality):
"If evidence supports your claims, disciplinary action will follow."
Bai Hanyan (clenching fists):
"Disciplinary—?! You're letting a narcissist dictate policy?!" (steps forward) "I quit. This cesspool isn't worth—"
Ye Chen (gently restraining her):
"Stand down, Miss Bai." (faces Liu) "You preside over a hierarchy of sycophants. Pathetic."
Liu Zhigang (face purpling):
"Who the hell are you to—? Na. Now."
Ye Chen (calmly):
"Ye Chen."
Liu Zhigang (freezing):
"Ye... Ye Chen? As in—?"
[Quantum Power Shift]
The lobby's biotric scanners suddenly flared to life, projecting holograms of corporate bylaws. Ye Chen's retinal patterns—previously masked—now pulsed gold in the system.
Yang Xuemin (arriving with executives, voice shaking):
"Ye-zong?! Why wasn't Security notified of your—"
Ye Chen (overriding him):
"Liu Zhigang. Your employnt terminated effective 14:32:07, blockchain tistamped." (turns to Ling Xi'er) "As for you—your NFT contracts just entered decay protocols. Enjoy explaining 8 million bot followers to your sponsors."
Ling Xi'er's phone began vibrating uncontrollably—brand partnership cancellation notices flooding in.
[Photonic Justice]
Bai Hanyan (staring at Ye Chen):
"You're... the CEO? But why let it escalate?"
Ye Chen (tapping his watch, neural interface glowing):
"To collapse the waveform. Observe the rot before excising it."
The executives stood paralyzed as the building's AI announced globally:
"HR Director Liu Zhigang removed. All influencer contracts pending audit."
