Chapter 116 - I can’t believe Shengding Entertainment would stoop so low! (3)
The incident continued to escalate in the afternoon, and it was very lively under Shengding’s official Weibo page . That’s when Chen Ang finally looked into it .
Low and behold, not only did he find out that this so-called “Shengding’s employee” was really an employee of Shengding, she was someone from the Department of Operations!
“I’ve always thought that the Department of Operations was the department that required the least of my attention . Now look . What have you been doing?!!” yelled Chen Ang, his finger was short of poking straight onto Director Zhou’s nose .
Last time, it was the issue of purchasing the ten pieces of music . Letting the deal fall through was not a small mistake already . They had started on some related preparations before they signed the contracts on the music .
That was equivalent to having pots, pans, bowls, ladles all readied and oil was heated up but finally never having the ingredients to cook with .
That was not a negligible loss .
Luckily, the chairman of the board didn’t demand an explanation on the incident nor did he want anyone penalized over it and the incident was swept under the rug just like that .
He never would have anticipated that the Department of Operations would have created another big problem for him within such a short amount of time .
The key was that albeit this being an obvious faceslapping incident, even if they somehow came out the winner, it would still cause them a significant amount of damage . And yet, Zhou LingYan went through with it anyway .
“Manager Chen, please let me explain . This one really wasn’t my fault . ” Zhou LingYan wanted to start crying after being scolded by Manager Chen .
Sure enough, failing to buy the copyrights from Su Ran was a mistake on her part .
After they had failed to arrive at an agreement, Zhou LingYan had reached out to Su Ran again later on and expressed that she was willing to purchase the music for 20,000 yuan each . Her attitude was very positive over the phone as well, but unfortunately, Su Ran turned her down without any hesitation .
When she tried to call back again, Su Ran had already blocked her number .
She had even filled out a performance review regarding this, but this time she really had nothing to do with it .

“This was entirely the act of Lin XiaoXiao . I had no knowledge of it at all!”
Zhou LingYan felt very innocent in this incident .
The upper management had already turned over a new leaf and the incident was already over and done with . She never would have thought that Lin XiaoXiao would have someone fill out a song based on the sample from Su Ran .
Piecing and patching a piece of music by different individuals would never work . Anyone with even just a little bit of experience in the industry or music in general would have known that .
Not even the interns in the Music Department would take on such a job .
Nevertheless, Lin XiaoXiao, failing to find anyone who would do the job within the office, paid for some external contractor to complete the music .

She even used her position as a part of Operations and utilized a team of the company’s water army to drum up the attention and incite the public opinions . Just like that, an incident that was already done and over with ended up in this mess .
Zhou LingYan would strangle Lin XiaoXiao if only she could .
Besides, what she really wanted to ask Lin XiaoXiao was: the little studio is not a competitor of Shengding nor was any of their performers competing with Shengding for resources . As much as the contracts with Su Ran had fallen through, Shengding really did not have any issues with Yu LeLe's Studio . Why was it that Lin XiaoXiao needed to blow this whole thing up? What would she get out of this?
“Lin XiaoXiao? Isn’t she a part of your Operations team?” asked Chen Ang immediately when he noticed that Zhou LingYan was trying to place the blame on Lin XiaoXiao .
“But she was the one who did this…”
“It doesn’t matter . ” Chen Ang snickered all of a sudden . “Let me tell you something . Even if she was the one who did this, she will not be the one who’d be held accountable for it . ”
