Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Chapter 685 – How Did Fanyu Break Ties with Shi Xiang Before He Had Even Interfered?

An Lan looked at the phone and said, “Shi Xiang has released a statement as well. He’s saying that the Young Master of Fanyu Group and his friend walked in during one of his recording sessions and made a scene. The company has already found a Hollywood star to replace him, and that’s why they decided to break the contract with him.”

Lu Kang remarked, “The news has invited a high amount of public attention.”

An Lan laughed. “Doesn’t look so simple.”

“Find out what happened, exactly,” Nian Junting ordered Lu Kang. Something was not right. How did Fanyu break ties with Shi Xiang before he had even interfered?

…

Luosang saw the news on the train as well. She was stunned. She had been so angry in the morning, and she had almost blurted things online while cursing Shi Xiang in her head. She wished that people would see him for what he was. She didn’t expect him to be involved in such a conflict moments later.

She was shocked that Fanyu was the first one who published the defaming statement. They had treasured him like a gem while she was there. What exactly had happened when she was gone? Why did Fanyu terminate his contract like that? It was miraculous.

She wasn’t naïve enough to believe that they did it for her. Seemed like the public had opinions about both parties now. Shi Xiang’s fans and keyboard warriors were completely on his side, and some parts of the public were on his side, too.

“Laowang” on the internet commented, “They have already produced evidence that Shi Xiang was always late for his sessions. You could let things slide if he was only late once, but it’s preposterous that he goes into work late every day, more than an hour, too! He is a newbie at voice acting, and it’s reasonable that he would have to take things slowly at the beginning, but he’s showing an improper attitude being late and all. How can he implicate his other colleagues like that? How inconsiderate!”

“Radish_eater” said, “Since the company paid so much for him to be the spokesperson, he should have cooperated with them as best as he could. I liked some of Shi Xiang’s new songs, but I guess he’s just one of those sell-out artistes. I find him repulsive, to be honest. You should be humble and stay grounded, stop being so arrogant. There are plenty of other popular singers other than him. Look at how hardworking they are.”

“The_frogprince” commented, “I support Shi Xiang unconditionally. It’s obvious that the company ditched him after finding a Hollywood star to replace him. Shameless.”

…

Luosang was reading all the threads on her way back. She was extremely curious and made a call to another voice actor, Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng said, “I’m not sure what happened, either. I saw the Young Master of Fanyu barge into the studio when I was recording. They made quite a scene, but I didn’t leave my booth. I didn’t want to invite trouble for myself. I heard they were switching him out after that.”

Luosang made sense of things now. She planned to thank the Young Master of Fanyu the next time she met him. No matter which side had the favor of the public’s opinion, there was no doubt that Shi Xiang was in trouble now.

…

Lu Kang heard about what had happened in the evening and reported back to Nian Junting immediately. “I think this thing has got to do with that mysterious friend of the Young Master of Fanyu. I heard he bumped into Xu Luosang coincidentally at the company, and he had a big reaction afterward. When he saw that she was bullied, he decided to take action. I heard he has quite a remarkable background, too. He pulled in a Hollywood A-lister to replace Shi Xiang.”

“…”

He wanted to punch Lu Kang after hearing about the chain of events. “Are you sure you didn’t make this up?”

“Absolutely!” Lu Kang swore. “This was what I heard from the people inside. I’m telling you everything they told me.”
