The next day, the news of Ye Yuwan being attacked spread throughout the company, causing an uproar.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, Ye Jingyi, and Ye Yuwan received a call from Ye Jianchang, telling them to rush to the family home immediately.
Upon arriving at the Ye Family's residence, it was obvious with everyone in attendance that a family meeting was about to be held.
When Jiang Chen and his party entered the conference room, the members of the Ye Family didn't give them a single friendly look.
"Jiang Chen, Ye Jingyi, what's going on? How could you let Yu Wan be attacked? How are you performing as her agent and planner?" As soon as Jiang Chen's trio sat down, Ye Jianchang angrily burst out.
Ye Tianming followed up, his face full of anger, "You two bastards, I think you just can't stand to see Yu Wan doing well. You must have intentionally let someone into the arena to attack Yu Wan. Hand over your positions as agent and planner right now!"
"Yeah, hand them over, you two are useless! Whether or not it was you who let people in to attack Yu Wan, you're both incompetent. Hand over your positions!" Grandma Ye spoke coldly.
Ye Yuwan frowned and said loudly, "It wasn't them, I owe my life to my brother-in-law who saved me yesterday, how could it be them!"
"Shut up!" Grandma Ye glared at Ye Yuwan and said coldly, "Who knows if Jiang Chen didn't hire people to put on an act!"
Ye Tianming scolded again, "Exactly, he must have hired people to put on a show. Otherwise, how could he have saved you so promptly? How is it possible that he was the only one who noticed those people were going to attack you?"
"They're simply not capable; get rid of them immediately!"
"They must be replaced! Our Ye Family has finally produced a big star; we can't let these two failures ruin it!"
"Yu Wan, don't be fooled by Jiang Chen, he's the most deceitful!"
"They're no good; replace them quickly!"
One after another, the people of the Ye Family harshly criticized Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi.
Ye Jingyi, already feeling guilty about the incident from yesterday, was overwhelmed by the unanimous disapproval from her family; filled with indignation, she felt they were being too unfair, and in her heartbreak, she truly wanted to resign from managing planning and be done with the responsibility!
"Jiang Chen, Ye Jingyi, hurry up and hand over your positions to my grandson Tianming and his wife, Li Cuilian," Grandma Ye demanded coldly.
Ye Jingyi's eyes reddened, and she was about to give in.
Jiang Chen pulled Ye Jingyi back and said in a deep voice, "You've been saying all along that we're not cut out for this. Now, I have a few questions for you. You want Ye Tianming and Li Cuilian to be Yu Wan's agent and planner. Do they even know how to be an agent and a planner? Do they know what an agent does every day? Do they know what skills a planner needs to have?"
With that, Jiang Chen pointed at Ye Tianming, "And you, Ye Tianming, how do you know that I was the first to notice someone attacking Yu Wan? There were so many people in the stadium; how could you know that I was the only one who noticed?"
The members of the Ye Family were stunned; they hadn't considered whether Ye Tianming and Li Cuilian were suitable for the positions of agent and planner. They were only interested in seizing control of the benefits. As for Ye Tianming, his face changed upon being questioned by Jiang Chen.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words and then looking at Ye Tianming, Ye Jingyi furrowed her brows, realizing something, her eyes filled with incredulity.
"It's none of your business whether Tianming and Cuilian are suitable! Who do you think you are? This is our Ye Family's family meeting, what right does an outsider like you have to speak here? Get out!" Ye Jianchang roared.
Ye Tianming joined in the yelling, "Exactly, what business is it of an outsider's? I think you just want to mooch off Yu Wan; get lost already!"
"Get lost?" Jiang Chen chuckled coldly, "Have you got it all wrong? Who decides who can be Yu Wan's agent and planner? That's a decision for Sihai Entertainment to make, not you. What right do you have to replace someone just because you're Yu Wan's family? So you think you can dictate Sihai Entertainment's decisions? Who do you think you are?"
The Ye Family members were once again taken aback, as they hadn't thought of this aspect and were momentarily left looking at each other, lost for words.
Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps was heard, and the Ye Family's housekeeper came running in: "Master, the Director of the Entertainment Department at Sihai Entertainment, Chen Guoqiang, is here."
"What? Hurry, please show him in!" Ye Jianchang exclaimed in delight.
Soon, Chen Guoqiang walked in with a few people, glanced at the members of the Ye Family, and nodded subtly towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and gave a slight nod in return.
"Director Chen? What brings you here?" Yè Yùwǎn asked in surprise.
Ye Jianchang's eyes darted around, and he quickly stepped up to Chen Guoqiang, grabbing his hand: "Director Chen's arrival is truly an honor for our family! Please, have a seat!"
"Yes! With Director Chen here, the room seems so much brighter!"
"Please, Director Chen, take a seat!"
The Ye Family members each opened with flattering remarks.
"Director Chen, thank you for looking after my Yu Wan and for personally seeing to her matters," Grandma Ye said with a smile.
Chen Guoqiang nodded: "I am indeed here because of yesterday's incident."
"Director Chen, all the blame for yesterday's incident lies with Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi. Please, fire them right away. I'm Yu Wan's brother; I'll be her agent. I'm sure I'd do much better than that good-for-nothing Jiang Chen!" Tian Ming's eyes shifted, and he ran up to Chen Guoqiang, thumping his chest as he spoke.
"Right, Director Chen. It's all their fault. Please fire them quickly!"
"Exactly! That good-for-nothing Jiang Chen is nothing but a freeloader; aside from deceiving people, he's useless. Get rid of him!"
"And that Ye Jingyi, even as a planner and manager, she let Yu Wan get attacked. What kind of work capability is that? She's not up to the mark at all! Please fire them both right away!"
The members of the Ye Family chorused their condemnation of Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi, wanting Chen Guoqiang to support them in firing both.
Yè Yùwǎn watched the Ye Family's ridiculous display with amusement, shaking her head and continually twitching her mouth to keep herself from laughing.
What a bunch of idiots! Jiang Chen is the General Manager of Sihai Entertainment! You're asking a director to fire a general manager? Are your brains sick?
And you, Tian Ming, you keep calling Jiang Chen a good-for-nothing. As if Director Chen would dare to hire you—unless his head's been kicked by a donkey like yours.
Ye Jingyi looked at Chen Guoqiang with an anxious expression, her nerves starting to fray. Although she had resolved earlier to give up her position as project manager, after hearing Jiang Chen's words and coming to an understanding that if any other member of the Ye family took over, it would probably ruin Yu Wan, she had changed her mind about stepping down.
But now, with Chen Guoqiang's arrival, coupled with the Ye Family's instigations, Ye Jingyi feared Chen Guoqiang might fire both her and Jiang Chen.
Yet, Jiang Chen seemed utterly unconcerned, sitting there composedly. Noticing Ye Jingyi's nerves, he reassuringly took her hand and patted it.
"Don't panic, I'm here."
Ye Jingyi's face flushed, but she didn't pull her hand away, allowing Jiang Chen to hold onto it.
