Liu Hao's calm expression cracked slightly, but he still thought Ge Baitao was bluffing. After all, an artist he knew who had a girlfriend, but Ge Baitao found out some information from somewhere and tried to trick him. That guy was also foolish and got scared into confessing everything.
So Liu Hao learned to be smart. He wouldn't believe things that were just said.
He glanced at Song Xi, who still didn't know what had happened, and a cold smile curled on his lips.
Was what he said wrong? A woman who got ahead through connections, what was the difference between her and those escorts outside?
Even escorts knew what to ask for and what not to, but her?
Liu Hao felt disgusted. Everyone in the company was flattering Song Xi, calling her Bai Xi Culture's top artist, but in his heart, she was nothing!
Ge Baitao was furious. She looked at Susan, her eyes shooting daggers, as if to say, "Is this the artist you signed?"
Susan was so ashamed she didn't know what to say. If Liu Hao had shown a better attitude and voluntarily admitted his mistakes, Boss Ge would have been more lenient, but now... she just wanted to play a sad song for him and herself.
"Xi Xi, you go out first."
Ge Baitao didn't want Song Xi to hear these words.
Since she said that, Song Xi instinctively felt that this matter must be related to her, so she said, "If it's about me, I think I have the right to know."
She had always been stubborn.
Ge Baitao looked at Song Xi, her eyes full of trust.
She believed that after so much time, Xi Xi's psychological resilience must have improved compared to before.
Therefore, Ge Baitao played the recording.
"Why? Because she's pretty and has a good relationship with the boss?"
"They say we're all company people, but whenever there's good resources, they prioritize her, and we're just a bunch of scavengers, left with a few rejects, and we have to share! Sometimes, at the end of the month, we don't even get a promotion!"
"She didn't tell me that when she recruited me!"
"Heh, it's a good thing our boss is a woman. Otherwise, one might think she's promoting Song Xi so much because they have an improper relationship. Wait, that's not necessarily true, maybe they're 'that' kind of..."
"Ugh, if that's the case, then to get hot searches and create scandals with some men, isn't that cheap!"
There was more, but Ge Baitao couldn't listen anymore. She paused the voice.
His first reaction was to care about Song Xi, but he found no reaction on her beautiful face.
Ge Baitao smiled proudly.
Xi Xi was becoming more and more capable!
She was unfazed by the slander, while the one who spoke was shocked and his face turned ashen.
Susan reached out and pushed Liu Hao, as if giving him a final warning. If he didn't explain or take action, even if the King of Heaven came, he couldn't be saved.
Liu Hao also did not expect Ge Baitao to have such direct evidence.
His whole body stiffened, and the arrogance he displayed while speaking vanished instantly.
Ge Baitao said slowly, "If you think this recording is framing you, then go to a professional institution for appraisal. I'll accompany you to the end!"
With a thud.
Liu Hao knelt on the ground. His plea was full of emotion. If he hadn't been so stubborn just now, Ge Baitao would have really believed he was sincerely regretting it. But now, she only felt hypocrisy.
He wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin, and now that he saw it, the tears were falling.
"Boss Ge! That was just drunken rambling. I really didn't mean it. You must believe me!"
Seeing that Ge Baitao was unmoved, he turned to beg Song Xi.
"Sister Xi, please explain to Boss Ge for me. I really didn't mean it. I drank too much at the time, I don't even know what I said. But you have to believe me, this is definitely not what I truly think!"
"They say that what's said in drunkenness is the truth. Also," Ge Baitao said coldly, her eyes piercing Liu Hao like a sharp blade, "I am your boss. Your fate is decided by me. Even if you kowtow to Song Xi and apologize here, it's useless! We at Bai Xi Culture don't need artists like you who slander others!"
"You're so unbalanced, you probably cursed me privately a lot, right?" Ge Baitao narrowed her eyes, her gaze dangerous.
Liu Hao: "No... I didn't!"
Ge Baitao curled her lips. "Why pamper Song Xi? Why do Song Xi's resources always better than yours? Why is Song Xi the company's top artist? It's because this company was founded for Xi Xi. Without her, there would be no company, and without this company, you wouldn't have gotten in! So, do you understand?"
Liu Hao collapsed on the ground, his spirit broken.
Ge Baitao instructed Susan, "In the future, when you recruit new artists, tell them all 3 points I just mentioned! If they can't accept it, then let them get lost! Anyone who speaks ill of Song Xi doesn't deserve to stay at Bai Xi Culture!"
Susan lowered her head. "Yes!"
They all said Boss Ge and Song Xi had a good relationship, but they never expected it to be this good!
Liu Hao was completely finished this time.
"Also, two million, you will pay." Ge Baitao delivered another fatal blow to Liu Hao.
Liu Hao's pupils trembled. "I... I don't have that much money!"
