Chapter 170 HollyOak Entertainment was the top dog in the industry. Where would their artists go if they terminated their contracts?
The assistant quavered from head to toe before she inhaled deeply and added, âCharmine just tweeted... Miss Milan... I think you should look at it yourself...â
She was too terrified to break the news.
Kelly immediately took out her phone and checked Twitter. There it was; Charmineâs tweet that read, (Hollyoak and Fortune Entertainment have formed an alliance to crush me. Haha! Youâre foolish to think that you can destroy me.
Within ten days, whoever signs with RisingHawk will get a whole hundred percent of their earnings, and you even get to decide the terms of your contract. For those who decided to work with my company, youâll get a Dovegg diamond ring, limited to the first ninety-nine people!)
Though she was basically blown off from the internet and the tweet did not become one of the trending posts, Charmine still had her dedicated fans to viral her post. Of course, the comment section quickly exploded.
[Boss Jordan is da boss! Show âem whatcha got!)
(Even being the lowest quality diamond, a DovEgg would cost a few hundred thousand. Ninety -nine DovEggs???? Thatâs just insane!!)
(Boss Jordan, are you hiring? I could be a janitor. I donât need a whole diamond ring, just throw me some scraps!)
What was even more infuriating was that Charmine followed up with another tweet.
(Whoever retweets my tweet will stand a chance to win a house in the city of your choice.]
That was too good of a deal to pass up. The property value in the city was insanely high; a square foot could easily cost five figures. To get a new house basically meant getting rich quick!
All too soon, everybody retweeted Charmineâs post. Just like that, Charmine was trending online once more. 2 Kelly scowled; the blood in her veins ran like lava. Was Charmine crazy? She was burning through her fortune to start a war with them!
Understandably, Claire panicked. âMiss Milan? What do we do now? If all our artists leave, weâre doomed!â
âYou donât say. Arenât you the crisis expert? Deal with this right now!â Kelly commanded coldly.
Claire was flabbergasted. What could they possibly do now?
Right at that moment, many of HollyOakâs artists barged into the room. They all said the same thing, âI want to terminate my contract. Right now!â
Under Hollyoak, these artists earned 40 percent from their work and yet still had to pay their managers and assistants. If the full payment was 50 million, they would only get 15 million.
If they signed with RisingHawk, they would get a full 50 million! Even after deducting their team salaries, they would still earn a lot more than staying at Hollyoak.
In an attempt to resolve the situation, Claire spoke up, âDonât you remember the terms of your contract? Breaching the contract means youâd have to compensate the company for one billion! Can you afford it?â
âCharmine said that she could pay that for us first!â one artist snapped back.
That one reply instantly shut Claire up. She looked over to Kelly helplessly.
This was her first time dealing with such a mess. She was at a loss of words.
âStop looking at me!â snapped Kelly. âI merely threw money into the company! Where is the chairman? Where is he? He needs to step out and deal with this sh*t!â
âThereâs no need for that! We want to terminate our contracts no matter what! We even brought the money!â
The artists threw their contracts on the table one after another. âSign it, and weâll pay you right now. You can instantly make a fortune with so many billions.â
Kelly was livid. She could hardly believe what was happening.
Charmine had even lent them money to pay for these artistsâ penalties! Kelly needed an escape plan, and fast!
