Chapter 381 - 381 Leave, I Won't Forgive You!

381 Leave, I Won’t Forgive You!

Zachary was in a complete mess.

He had been in the industry for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen a stubborn fellow like Luo Feng. It was not beneficial for both sides to fall out. How could he be as stubborn as a donkey?

He was already the boss of the company, yet he still wanted to act like a hothead. Did he not know how to be flexible?!

Zachary roared in his heart.

If this matter were to spread, where would he put his face!

He had already taken a step back. Why wasn’t Luo Feng giving him a way out?

Zachary was used to being tactful. The people in the circle dealt with things peacefully, and it was rare for things to become so awkward. Why didn’t Luo Feng understand?

He stared into Luo Feng’s deep eyes and knew that the other party had no intention of joking.

Neither side was willing to take another step back. They faced each other in silence.

The contestants and employees who were watching the show hoped that they could take out their phones and record this rare moment.

The boss was arguing for these inconspicuous contestants!

Not only were they fighting for benefits, but even the self-esteem that was the easiest to ignore was also within Luo Feng’s range of consideration.

Back then, one of the important factors in Luo Feng’s selection of the contestants was quality. Did they have any stains on their lives over the past 20 years? At that time, the contestants thought that it was just an ordinary request.

This was nothing new. Many celebrities who had debuted had done all sorts of things before they became famous, causing the company’s previous nurturing to go down the drain.

Therefore, the contestants understood and were glad that they were honest and dutiful people.

“I didn’t expect the boss to have a deeper meaning!”

“He’s really doing his best to uphold fairness and justice!”

“It doesn’t matter even if the boss compromises. We’re already directors. We’ll be more careful in the future.”

“Thank you, boss.”

Most of the people standing here had suffered unfair treatment. They were especially grateful that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya could stand up for them. Protecting Ah Shuang alone was protecting everyone here.

At the same time, everyone realized a very realistic problem.

Zachary’s position as the executive director was difficult to shake. If Luo Feng insisted on kicking him out, the show would welcome a lot of trouble in the future.

It was good for the contestants and the show itself to let Zachary stay.

Luo Feng’s attitude had already touched the contestants very much. It didn’t matter even if Zachary stayed. Everyone hoped that the show could proceed normally.

“Luo Feng.” Ai Tingya tugged at the corner of Luo Feng’s shirt and whispered, “He’s a great senior after all. It’s not good to leave no room for negotiation.”

Ah Shuang, who was behind him, said, “That’s right, Boss. The director has already given in. Let’s just forget about this matter.”

The spectating contestants and employees had the same thought.

They had put in a lot of effort for “Idol Cultivation”. He couldn’t let it go to waste just because of Zachary.

Zachary also understood this, so he gave Luo Feng a way out first. Coupled with the help of the others, everyone pretended that this had never happened.

The surrounding persuasion fell into Luo Feng’s ears one by one. He looked at Zachary, who was determined to win.

Would this person really realize his mistake? No. He would only feel that the timing was not right and the person he chose was not right. He would never think that flirting with a contestant was wrong.

He wondered how many innocent girls had been led astray by him.

Luo Feng looked down on such people.

“Director Zachary, you’ve heard everyone’s opinions,” Luo Feng said.

Zachary thought that Luo Feng was going to relent and said smugly, “Of course, everyone has put in so much effort for the show. If it stops broadcasting, they will definitely suffer a huge loss. No one wants to see such a situation.”

Since they didn’t want to see it, he shouldn’t chase after it!

Luo Feng nodded, agreeing with Zachary.

There were 10 to 20 sponsors alone after all. If there was negative news about the show, it would also affect the advertisers. They would definitely pay some compensation for breach of contract.

Not to mention the construction of the venue. The employees’ salaries had been invested nearly 100 million yuan in the early stages.

The first episode’s broadcast had a very good effect, and the audience also accepted Director Zachary’s rhythm. A change of director at the last minute would definitely be seen through, and the audience might even be lost.

Moreover, changing the executive director during the filming of the show was unheard of in the entire industry.

No one liked a situation where both sides suffered losses. They thought that it would be over after enduring for a while.

However, Luo Feng refused!

“This matter can end here.” Luo Feng relented, and the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. “Director Zachary, you can leave after apologizing.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

Was the boss really going to chase the executive director away?

He really dared to chase the executive director away?

Everyone could not believe their ears and hurriedly asked the people around them for confirmation. Obviously, everyone heard the same thing.

Zachary was the most dumbfounded one!

How could Luo Feng dare to do this?

“Do you know how much loss your show will suffer if you lose me?!” Zachary’s eyes were red as he roared and questioned Luo Feng.

“Of course I know,” Luo Feng said calmly. “But for the sake of the future development of the show, I can’t use you anymore!”

Would Zachary change after this?

Luo Feng didn’t think so.

The decision to change directors seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, but it was actually to ensure stable development in the future.

Human nature was fragile. There was no guarantee that no one would have other thoughts when they saw that Zachary had a loophole to exploit. The two sides could hit it off immediately and be in cahoots.

Moreover, if he compromised this time, Zachary would be fearless and cause other trouble in the future.

Since he was not punished when he made a mistake, he would make a second mistake.

Luo Feng had been reborn and knew better than anyone else how terrible it was to make a second mistake.

He repeated word by word, “Please leave after apologizing.”

Luo Feng kept the recording pen in his pocket in front of Zachary. In other words, he wanted to tell Zachary that he didn’t want to make a big deal out of this matter. As long as he listened to the arrangements, this scandal would never see the light of day.

Zachary clenched and unclenched his fists. The veins under his loose skin were throbbing, and his face was flushed as his breathing quickened.

As a famous director who had won countless awards, he actually had to apologize to a junior?

Luo Feng waited expressionlessly.

“I’m sorry…”

A moment later, Zachary mumbled.

Everyone gasped and wanted to cover their eyes.

It was as if they had witnessed an unbelievable scene. For a moment, they did not dare to accept it.

Zachary’s expression was ugly, and no one dared to whisper. They had witnessed Zachary’s most embarrassing moment and were worried that their faces would be remembered and they would vent their anger.

Everyone lowered their heads and pretended not to see or hear anything.

It wasn’t until Zachary’s furious footsteps completely disappeared in the corridor that everyone dared to relax and breathe heavily.

Everyone looked up at Luo Feng’s expressionless face and shouted in their hearts, Boss is awesome!

If there were more upright people like Luo Feng in this world, those with evil intentions would have nowhere to hide!
