"One thing at a time. What I can't stand is Feng Gan's vulgarity. I said this two days ago: a man can be romantic, but he must never be publicly vulgar. Moreover, unspoken rules don't just exist in the entertainment industry."
"They exist in other circles too. It's just that your circle is too eye-catching, as if illuminated by countless spotlights. When your destiny is controlled by others, you must know how to size up the situation. And when you can influence the destiny of others, you must learn to respect them."
Jiang Cheng's words sounded profound and cryptic at first, but for Reba, who had been in this circle for many years, they were immediately clear, and she instantly understood the deeper meaning.
Reba deeply agreed with what Jiang Cheng said.
If these videos were exposed, the efforts of these Girls over the past decade or so would all turn into smoke.
Her father was the lead singer of the local Song and Dance Troupe, and she understood from a young age that no profession is easy.
Moreover, she was very aware that this industry was rife with various unspoken rules.
There are all sorts of unspoken rules within the troupe, but these rules aren't limited to just the physical aspect.
To enter, one must satisfy various harsh conditions and personal favors.
Having been in the industry for so long, she had endured not only Feng Gan's undisguised explicit and implicit suggestions that night, but also all kinds of diverse and varied hints in private.
If she hadn't relied on her connection with Yang Mi, relying solely on her own strength, she would probably be deeply mired and unable to extricate herself right now.
Ultimately, this is just a personal choice, and no one has the right to judge the right or wrong of such matters.
However, what surprised her deeply was that someone as rich and powerful as Jiang Cheng could treat their industry with respect and understanding.
Have the wealthy people of today already reached such a high level of integrity?
This was completely different from the group of dissolute young masters she usually interacted with.
Reba: favorability value +10!
Seeing Reba's favorability value suddenly soar by ten points, Jiang Cheng felt no great disturbance in his heart.
In fact, what he said was the truth, not insincere words spoken deliberately to gain favor.
He was not averse to Girls who strived for opportunities through their own efforts.
If he were averse, he wouldn't be with Xia Meng and the others.
To be honest, what difference was there between the financial transaction between him and Xia Meng and the resource transactions in the entertainment industry?
The only difference might be that Xia Meng and the others were relatively lucky to have met a dedicated good man like Jiang Cheng.
In other words, if they had met other one-time scumbags, they would probably have moved on to the next person by now.
From a realistic perspective, what everyone seeks in this society is pretty much the same.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng believed that if the situation were reversed for a man striving for a career...
Even men would likely accept such things.
As long as you endure the rich woman's steel wool, you can be promoted to General Manager, or even rise rapidly in rank. Under the temptation of such conditions, very few men would refuse.
Taking Miss Dong, the director in the Air Conditioning Industry, as an example, one can see that men are equally adept at flattering rich older women.
So, everyone is just trying their best to advance their careers. What's wrong with that??
Just as everyone was about to finish their meal, Wang Congcong's phone on the table suddenly rang.
He glanced at the screen, then frowned and said doubtfully, "I'm going out to take a call. I don't know who it is."
In less than five minutes, Wang Congcong walked back in.
As soon as he entered the private room, he spoke to Jiang Cheng with a slightly surprised tone.
"Wang Jun called and said he was entrusted by Feng Gan to invite both of us to dinner. I heard they tried pulling strings to contact your Company, but your female manager blocked them, so they couldn't reach you. That's why they went through other people to find me. What do you say? Should I block them for you too?"
Jiang Cheng was completely unaware of the situation Wang Congcong described, as no one had informed him of the message.
When he launched the Net Cleanup Operation this morning, he had thoroughly explained the matter to Yu Xiaoxiao and Chen Xueer.
Jiang Cheng picked up his phone to check, and sure enough, he did have a few unread messages from Chen Xueer and the others.
After reading them, Jiang Cheng nodded and replied, "Why block them? Let's go. Things need to be resolved. I'd like to hear what he has to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao immediately interjected, "I heard that the Wang Brothers have always been arrogant. This dinner invitation is mostly to protect Feng Gan. After all, Feng Gan is a cash cow for the Company Group."
"Now that their Company is under investigation by the tax authorities, they are probably worried about the situation deteriorating further, which is why they are trying to seek peace. Why else would they invite us to dinner?" Qi Yuan chimed in.
Qin Fen took over the conversation: "This morning, the stock prices of several of their core enterprises plummeted. Telephone 2 hasn't even aired yet, and the female lead has already run into trouble. Investors who funded the film and stockholders who bought shares are full of complaints. At this critical juncture, their Company's prospects are bleak, and almost no one is optimistic about it. It would be strange if they didn't actively seek peace."
Jiang Cheng said, "As for Feng Gan, I don't want him to remain in this circle anymore. Regarding the Company, I can only say it was collateral damage. We can discuss it when we meet. If we can reach an agreement, great. If not..."
Saying this, Jiang Cheng stopped, but everyone present understood tacitly what he meant.
In fact, everyone knew that Jiang Cheng was certain to win this confrontation.
In reality, Jiang Cheng didn't actually intend to target the Wang Brothers.
From the start, the only person he wanted to deal with was Feng Gan.
Having been influenced by his father, Jiang Jianming, since childhood, Jiang Cheng deeply understood the way of the world.
When it is not absolutely necessary, there is no need to make enemies everywhere.
Even when the opponent's strength is weaker than yours, there is no need to completely wipe them out.
Unless extreme circumstances arise.
After all, things are unpredictable.
In most cases, building good relationships and making allies to strengthen one's influence is the right path.
Only in this way can one ensure they stand undefeated.
