In the conference room, seven or eight senior executives of the company sat around a long table.
Except for Shi Yao who was at the very edge, Jiang Ji had hardly ever seen anyone else.
Qin Qingzhuo had been invited to be the program's music director before, and had met all of these people before.
The person in charge of presiding over the meeting was the company's chief content officer, whose surname was He. He was most familiar with Qin Qingzhuo and greeted him: "Qingzhuo, you are here too."
"Well, after all, he is a contracted artist of my studio," Qin Qingzhuo walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Jiang Ji, and put the stack of printed materials in his hand on the table in front of him, with a smile on his face, "I'll sit in for a while, do you guys mind?"
"Welcome, welcome," Mr. He smiled. "In fact, we called Jiang Ji here today mainly to act as a peacemaker. As soon as Jiang Ji posted that Weibo yesterday, Director Shi called me to reflect on it. I thought that if there are any misunderstandings and conflicts between the two of us, we should take this opportunity to talk it out. If you have any demands, Xiao Jiang, just say it. We will try our best to satisfy you, okay?"
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Ji looked at Shi Yao opposite him and said, "I want to hear what Director Shi has to say first, is that ok?"
His tone was calm, which surprised Qin Qingzhuo. Before coming, he had already made plans to help Jiang Ji.
"Of course," Mr. He looked at Shi Yao, "Then Director Shi, as a senior, can you speak first?"
Shi Yao looked unhappy. He was probably held accountable by the higher-ups after the incident. Plus, he was used to bossing people around on the show. He frowned at this moment, obviously not wanting to be the first to bow his head.
The conference room fell silent for a moment. Mr. He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere. Just as he said the word "Director Shi", a notebook suddenly flew over from the opposite side and hit Shi Yao in the face heavily: "Just say what I told you to say. Stop throwing a tantrum!"
Everyone present immediately looked at the person who spoke, and Qin Qingzhuo also followed his gaze.
At this moment, the hot-tempered senior executive glared at Shi Yao and scolded him in public: "Look at the shit you did, and we still have to clean up your mess!"
Shi Yao seemed to be extremely afraid of this senior executive. He didn't say a word when the notebook hit him, and he didn't even dare to look up at him. After a few seconds, he looked at Jiang Ji and finally spoke: "Jiang Ji, I'm sorry for offending you in the past."
Jiang Ji still didn't respond, and his face showed no expression, but if you looked closely at his eyes, you would find a barely perceptible hint of amusement in his eyes. He watched Shi Yao's performance calmly, as if he was watching a poorly staged play.
"After recording so many episodes, we have become somewhat of a acquaintance." In front of several senior executives, Shi Yao had no choice but to continue, "Jiang Ji, I know you have a problem with me, but there are some things I can't help. You know, in this environment, there is no popularity without hype. I do these things without any selfish motives, I just want to make our show popular. If the show is popular, you will also get more attention and resources in the future, don't you think?"
After saying this, he glanced at Jiang Ji, and this time his tone was more sincere than usual: "We have no grudges in the past, and no hatred in the present, so let's just let this matter go."
