Chapter 622: Chapter 624: The World’s Cold Indifference, As People Leave, The Tea Cools
Dong Tianhua stord out, and the venue of the evening party suddenly quieted down.
It seed as if everyone was still not over the shock, unprepared for what had just happened.
However, not even half a minute later in the silence, a man walked up to Qin Tian and Zhou Minghong, clasped his hands in greeting, his face openly displaying dissatisfaction and disdain right in front of Qin Tian.
"President Qin, President Zhou, I just rembered I have sothing else to attend to. I’m leaving now, goodbye," the man said, then turned and walked out without looking back.
He was quite close to Dong Tianhua.
"President Qin, I also have sothing to attend to, I’m leaving now, goodbye."
"President Zhou, I’ve had enough to eat; I’m leaving now too, goodbye."
"President Zhou, I forgot to bring my wife when I left ho, she hasn’t eaten yet, I’m going back first."
"My pet dog hasn’t eaten tonight yet, I need to go feed it. I’ll be leaving first, goodbye."
After one person started, the others followed suit, each making their excuses to leave.
Originally, there were twelve people sitting at Qin Tian’s table, but in a flash, only six including Qin Tian and Zhou Minghong were left.
"We’ve offended Liao Entertainnt, so these people are fair-weather friends, imdiately disassociating themselves from us to avoid being implicated when Liao Entertainnt retaliates and harms their interests,"
Zhou Minghong whispered into Qin Tian’s ear, seeing the surprise in his eyes.
Yes, Qin Tian had crossed the entertainnt magnate Liao Zhihua and his company Liao Entertainnt; retaliation was certainly forthcoming. Now, those still allied with Qin Tian would likely be implicated as well.
Therefore, those who were still toasting and acting chummy with Qin Tian just monts ago suddenly changed their deanor and left with a sneer, not taking even a cloud with them as they waved their sleeves.
These people were indeed opportunistic and self-serving!
Qin Tian stood there, smiling faintly as he watched these people leave, not saying a word.
Finally, even Li Dakuan stood up from another table, straightened his back and said to Qin Tian and Zhou Minghong, "President Qin, President Zhou, tonight’s incident... you really went and did it. Now that you’ve offended Liao Entertainnt, our collaboration... I think it needs to be put on hold."
He looked at Qin Tian: "President Qin, you instigated this issue. Our Xingsheng Investnt already invested three million in the ’Sword and Saber’ project early on, but now, I want to terminate this project, because of your actions."
Li Dakuan looked at Qin Tian and smiled, "So, shouldn’t you return the three million I invested?"
"President Li, this request is a bit excessive,"
Before Qin Tian could speak, Zhou Minghong frowned, "Now that everyone is turning away from Tianyun Entertainnt, and you have already collaborated with us, are you planning to stab us in the back?"
"Humph, President Zhou, you can’t say it like that," Li Dakuan patted Zhou Minghong’s shoulder, "Businesspeople are definitely here to make money. I indeed saw potential in the ’Sword and Saber’ project, at least enough to recover the cost. But now, President Qin has publicly disrespected Liao Entertainnt and directly insulted Mr. Liao Zhihua, do you think Tianyun Entertainnt has a future?"
"Not to ntion ’Sword and Saber’, the project won’t even make it into the cinemas. Humph, if it’s not going to be screened, what’s there to talk about making money?"
With a mocking expression, Li Dakuan said, "Let’s leave it at that, return our money. From now on, we go our separate ways, I wish Tianyun Entertainnt good luck, heh heh."
"You want to pull out, fine, but returning the money, no way!"
Qin Tian spoke, "There should be a clause in the contract about compensation for unilateral termination. Li Dakuan, if you choose to back out now, it’s not about us refunding your money. We would claim damages from you. Understand?"
Qin Tian raised his eyebrows and sneered at Li Dakuan, "Go back and learn so contract law before you co here trying to act tough!"
At that mont, the venue was quiet. When Qin Tian yelled at Li Dakuan, Xie Zirong, who was at a distant table, walked over and shouted at Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, don’t be arrogant. Your good days are over!"
This shrew, who had been smiling flirtatiously and making eyes at Qin Tian just a mont ago, now turned with the wind and started yelling at Qin Tian directly.
Seeing Qin Tian offend Liao Entertainnt, Xie Zirong took delight in his misfortune and wanted to kick him while he was down!
"Security, throw them out!"
Qin Tian, annoyed, called the security to throw Li Dakuan and Xie Zirong out. Just as Li Dakuan was about to leave, Qin Tian said to him, "Mr. Li, rember, you won’t be able to get out without paying compensation. Otherwise, we’ll go through legal proceedings!"
"Qin Tian, you... you are shaless!"
Li Dakuan yelled, then in front of everyone, the security escorted him out, utterly disgraced.
Once Li Dakuan and Xie Zirong were thrown out, Qin Tian swept his gaze across the people at the venue and nodded solemnly, "If anyone else wants to leave, you can do so now. Whether it’s a partner company or a contracted artist who thinks Tianyun Entertainnt has no future, you can leave now. Everything will be handled according to the contract. I, Qin Tian, won’t hold anyone back!"
Qin Tian, clenching his teeth and showing a fierce expression, said, "But those of you who want to leave, rember, once you step out of this door today, you will no longer be a friend of Tianyun Entertainnt, and there will never be a chance for cooperation! Anyone who wants to leave, may leave now!"
After Qin Tian spoke these infuriated words, people in the venue imdiately started to move.
Before long, whether it was investnt firms or so artists, most had left, and even so upper-middle managers of Tianyun Entertainnt Company left three people.
These people, intimidated by Liao Entertainnt and not optimistic about Tianyun Entertainnt, were driven solely by profit and abandoned Qin Tian and Tianyun Entertainnt Company at this critical mont.
About half an hour later, there was no one left walking out of the venue.
At that point, the venue, which originally had more than one hundred forty people, was eerily empty, with only about forty people remaining, including Qin Tian.
You could say it was a case of ’once the guests are gone, so is the warmth of the tea.’
"Anyone else wants to leave? If you don’t leave now, you won’t get another chance," Qin Tian scanned the crowd and said.
"We won’t leave; we’ll stick with Mr. Qin."
"Yes, we’ll stay at Tianyun Entertainnt!"
The people who had stayed said.
Qin Tian looked around; among those still in the venue, he recognized only a few, including Zhou Minghong, Liu Fei’er, Wang Han, and a few other executives from Tianyun Entertainnt.
Besides that, the male and female celebrities introduced by Zhou Minghong as most famous had all left!
Of the well-known celebrities who had attended the venue that evening, only Su Yuyan and Gao Zijun, a male and a female, had not left. They could only be considered second-tier celebrities, while the rest had gone.
Qin Tian looked at Liu Fei’er, then at Su Yuyan and Gao Zijun, and nodded, "Good, good. Now, the official artists of our company are Su Yuyan, Gao Zijun, and Liu Fei’er, just you three!"
"I will rember today’s events. I, Qin Tian, swear, today, you chose to stay and help ; in return, I will guarantee you a bright future! I will keep my word!"
