At this mont, the gala is being broadcast live on Panda TV.
Also, at Principal Wang’s request, several well-known strears on the platform took up roles as broadcast hosts.
PDD, Zhou Shuyi, and Zou Erke sat in the booth interacting with the audience while watching the gala. Whether intentionally or not, all three strears were contracted with Black Swan Entertainnt.
PDD: "Wow, I didn’t expect the boss would perform on stage personally. If I’d known, I would’ve gone on-site with the Principal to watch the gala instead of doing this damn broadcast."
Zou Erke watched Gu Bai slowly exit the stage on the big screen, a strange expression flashing in her eyes. She still wanted to climb to another level with Gu Bai, but her few interactions with him had made it clear he wasn’t interested.
Not to ntion Gu Bai was purely a face admirer, and Zou Erke relied on her talents rather than her looks. With her average score of around eighty in terms of appearance, she obviously wasn’t his type. More importantly, Zou Erke was famously known as a fan league leader killer, which made her even less appealing to Gu Bai. For internet celebrities and strears signed on, Gu Bai saw them only as cash cows without much other intent.
Of course, unless their appearance was explosively high.
Zhou Shuyi hadn’t even spoken before the bullet comnts flooded the screen.
"Sister Zhou is about to speak, high energy alert up ahead!"
"Any brave souls want to join in sealing Sister Zhou’s mouth?"
Zhou Shuyi saw the bullet comnts and said defiantly, "What do you an, a perfectly good beauty just happens to have a mouth? And the comnts telling to seal my mouth, let tell you, my mouth could only truly be sealed by my boss!"
"Lol, opening her mouth and out cos a professional kiss-up."
"Excuse , is this sealing proper sealing?"
"Co on now! If I had a billionaire boss like that, I’d suck up to him till he questioned his own existence!"
As Gu Bai’s identity gradually beca public, almost everyone knew Black Swan Entertainnt was his business, and many strears who were once hesitant now rushed to join.
But this ti they weren’t as lucky as Zhou Shuyi, PDD, and Lu Wei.
With high revenue shares offered at the standard guild rate, even better than so guilds, there were still many strears desperate to join. After all, if they could really enter Black Swan Entertainnt, they’d be backed by such a formidable mountain, and their streaming careers would be smooth sailing, wouldn’t they? While streaming makes money, it’s most feared to offend people or disrupt the industry, leading nurous strears to unemploynt.
This resulted in Black Swan Entertainnt adopting more stringent screening processes for strears.
Gu Bai had no idea Panda TV was discussing him. After his performance, he returned to the stands.
"Nice, Gu Bai, you’ve got so skills. No wonder, as a student of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, you’re versatile."
Principal Wang and Li Zhun teased him with smiles.
Gu Bai rolled his eyes at them, then accepted the drink Xing Na had prepared in advance and took a sip. Just as he was about to sit back down, Yan Xiaobo ran over again.
Seeing the panting Yan Xiaobo before him, Gu Bai was a bit puzzled.
"What’s up?"
"President Gu, sothing’s happened backstage."
Upon hearing this, Gu Bai frowned. How did sothing go wrong again? With a web celebrity festival, why are there so many annoying problems?
Though impatient, Gu Bai asked on.
"Speak slowly, what’s the situation?"
"An employee from our company scheduled to perform was beaten..."
"?"
No wonder Gu Bai was puzzled, such a minor issue as an employee being beaten, did they really need Gu Bai to handle it himself? What’s the senior managent even for?
Feeling Gu Bai’s gaze, Yan Xiaobo hesitated for a mont, but still spoke up, "The attacker was a friend brought by President Wang. I couldn’t handle it well, so I had to co to you."
A friend brought by Principal Wang?
Gu Bai recalled slightly that Principal Wang had brought only two people with him this ti. One was a second-generation from Kyoto playing with him, still sitting here, and the other was Wu Qian.
After all, those who could be seated here were treated with indifference by everyone else. Ever since the gala began, this person had disappeared, unnoticed by all, and now with Yan Xiaobo ntioning Principal Wang’s friend, it had to be him.
After Yan Xiaobo finished speaking, he moved closer by Gu Bai’s side again, whispering sothing in his ear.
As soon as he finished, Gu Bai’s previously nonchalant expression instantly turned cold to the extre. Even Principal Wang and Li Zhun next to him felt his emotional shift.
"Take there."
Simple words without any warmth, and the cold sweat on Yan Xiaobo’s head began to cascade down. He knew Gu Bai was genuinely angry. Fortunately, he had approached Gu Bai imdiately, for if he’d handled this matter himself, regardless of how things turned out, his job would likely have been in jeopardy.
Without hesitation, Yan Xiaobo led Gu Bai towards the backstage.
Principal Wang quickly got up to follow. After all, Wu Qian was his invitee, so he had to step in, no matter where the trouble stemd from.
As for the remaining bunch of second-generation heirs, upon seeing the potential drama, they all rose to follow as well. Watching such incidents was far more exciting than the gala itself.
Backstage at this mont had gathered quite a few security personnel, surrounded by curious internet celebrities and stars.
Wu Qian had a blood mark on his arm, with his assistant tending to it.
Seeing Wu Qian still seated there, Gu Bai approached directly.
Seeing Gu Bai walk straight towards him, Wu Qian pushed his assistant away, stood up, and smiled, "President Gu, apologies, I had a bit of a conflict with your company’s employee. But rest assured, I’ll take full responsibility and provide the necessary compensation."
No wonder Wu Qian conceded. Gu Bai before him was soone even Principal Wang treated with caution. What was he to Gu Bai?
Gu Bai’s gaze was icy as he stared at him intently.
Suddenly, his right hand swung, a crisp sound echoed throughout the backstage, and he lifted his leather-shoe-clad foot, kicking Wu Qian in the abdon, sending him straight back into the chair.
The sudden scene shocked the watching internet celebrities and stars.
What was going on?
Was he so arrogant?
An outright slap along with a kick in front of everyone? Despite Wu Qian being red-hot famous, this simply treated him like nothing!
Wu Qian’s assistant quickly supported the chair-struck, stomach-holding Wu Qian, yelling, "What gives you the right to hit soone!"
It was because Wu Qian was her idol that she beca his close assistant. Witnessing her idol being hit, she went irrational, rushing at Gu Bai like a madwoman. Despite Wu Qian’s attempts to stop her, Gu Bai’s kick was intense, immobilizing him temporarily.
The accompanying bodyguards swiftly intercepted, pinning Wu Qian’s assistant aside. Even so, the girl continued her horrific screams, typical of a terrifying fandom girl.
The belated Principal Wang happened to witness this scene, rushing forward to stop Gu Bai.
"Gu Bai, let’s talk this out, don’t use force!"
Seeing Principal Wang blocking him, Gu Bai turned his icy gaze back to Wu Qian, lying there like a dead dog, saying nothing.
