Imperial City Entertainment has reached the end of its rope.
Now there is very little money left in the entire company's books, and even the lease of the office space that has been renewed for a long time is not enough to pay.
If no miracle happens, her Imperial City Entertainment will collapse in a few days.
Originally things were not like this.
Just a few days ago, Bai Lu also obtained an investment through connections. With that amount of funds, it would be enough for her to support her for another year or two, and maybe Huangcheng Entertainment would seize an opportunity to come back to life.
But just yesterday, this only hope was shattered.
Kong De of Magic City Culture Media personally cut off the last life-saving straw she grasped.
Magic City Media.
One of the top ten media companies in China, it is very powerful. Many of the movies it has shot have won many awards in China and even around the world. It is very prestigious.
This Kong De is the president of Modu Media.
She is about 26 or 27 years old, has a romantic streak, and has caused harm to many female compatriots in the industry over the years.
Last year, at a party together, Kong De met Bai Lu by chance. He was immediately shocked and started pursuing her madly.
Bai Lu is a clean and self-respecting girl. After hearing some people talk about Kong De's romantic style, she has always resisted him.
Kongde failed to pursue him many times, and finally broke out and said that either Bai Lu would bring Huangcheng Entertainment with him, or he would let Huangcheng Entertainment collapse completely.
In this circle, Comte's words are still very shocking.
From then on, the life of Huangcheng Entertainment began to become difficult.
No one dares to use her company’s artists anymore, and no one will cooperate with her anymore.
Now the entire Imperial City Entertainment has not received any new projects for a long time, and all its artists who can work have left. The rest are some newcomers who have just entered the industry, or some old, weak, sick and disabled people who are hanging around.
And just a few days ago, Conde had someone give Bai Lu an ultimatum.
If you don't give in within a week, Imperial City Entertainment will completely disappear.
That is to say, that night, Bai Lu, who was in a bad mood, went to the bar to drink alone, and happened to meet the elder and younger brothers William who wanted to tease him, and also met Lu Tianlong for the first time.
"Sister Bai, let's have a cup of coffee!"
The little secretary walked into Bai Lu's office carrying a cup of coffee.
Bai Lu was standing in front of the window, her face was still beautiful, but her eyes were dull, staring out the window.
"Well! Put it there now."
Hearing the little secretary's voice, Bai Lu turned around and forced a smile.
This little secretary has been with her since she just graduated from college. Bai Lu treats her very well and treats her like a biological sister.
The little secretary named Li Nan also reciprocated the favor and helped Bai Lu conscientiously over the years.
"Sister Bai..."
The little secretary named Li Nan put the coffee on the coffee table in the back and stood behind Bai Lu, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong, Xiaonan?"
Bai Lu turned her head and looked at her.
In a few years, Li Nan has grown from a young student to an outstanding urban white-collar worker.
"Is there another difficulty at home?"
Li Nan came from the mountains, and her family conditions were not good. She also had three younger brothers.
One person's living expenses, plus the expenses for his three younger brothers' schooling, all depend on Li Nan's salary.
So when there is a lot of money, such as when his brothers start school, Li Nan will occasionally advance one or two months' salary from the account.
"No, no."
Li Nan lowered his head and said.
"Haha, why are you so polite to me? If you really need money, go to the finance department first..."
Bai Lu originally wanted to use the money to advance two months' salary from the finance department.
But as I said this, I remembered that the funds on the company's books now may not be enough.
A trace of sadness flashed across her beautiful face. After a moment of hesitation, she suddenly reached out and took off the watch on her wrist.
This was a gift she gave to herself on her birthday the year she established Imperial City Entertainment.
"Take this watch first and see if it can be used as an emergency."
Bai Lu handed over the watch without hesitation.
Li Nan looked up in shock. She naturally knew the significance of this watch to Bai Lu.
"No, no, no, Sister Bai, I can't have your watch!"
Li Nan waved his hands desperately.
"Take it! Otherwise, you won't treat me as your sister!"
Bai Lu pretended to be angry and said.
"Sister Bai, actually, actually..."
Li Nan backed away desperately, a trace of sadness that was difficult to discern flashed in his eyes.
She gritted her teeth for the last time, raised her head and said, "Sister Bai, actually I'm here to resign with you!"
"Resign?"
Bai Lu's body was shaken.
He stared blankly at Li Nan in front of him with wide eyes.
After being stunned for half a minute, she finally returned to normal, retracted her arm, and tried to put the delicate watch back on her wrist with slightly trembling hands.
I tried several times but ultimately failed.
"Sister Bai, please forgive me, I really have no choice! Please forgive me..."
Li Nan burst into tears.
Bai Lu forced a smile.
"Xiao Nan, it's okay. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. I don't know how long Huangcheng Entertainment can survive. You should find another job."
"Sister Bai..."
"Okay, no need to say more, no matter where you go, as long as you still remember me as your sister!"
Bai Lu interrupted her, turned around and waved her hands.
"Haha! Bai Lu is right, Li Nan, your sister Bai is not kind to you. When you come to Modu Media, you can't forget your sister Bai."
At this moment, the office door was suddenly opened, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked in with a smile.
He had a standard slicked-back hairdo, which was heavily glued and shiny. He looked quite handsome, but there was a hint of frivolity in his eyebrows.
"Kongde! Who asked you to come in? Get out!"
Bai Lu turned around suddenly.
The oily-faced guy in front of her is Kong De, who promised to take both Huangcheng Entertainment and her into his arms!
"Chapter 541 I am cornered
Why can't you come in? In two days, I'm afraid this Imperial City Entertainment will no longer belong to you!"
Conde had a proud smile on his face.
As soon as Imperial City Entertainment goes bankrupt, he will immediately acquire it with full capital.
"Imperial City Entertainment will always be mine and there is no way it will go bankrupt!"
Bai Lu's cheeks were slightly red because of her anger, her little fists were clenched tightly, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
But her current appearance and expression made Kongde even more moved.
He just likes to conquer such women, such tasteful women, only then can he feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Bai Lu, please stop holding on! I'm afraid you should know better than me. With your current situation at Imperial City Entertainment, you won't be able to hold on for a few more days."
"Just listen to me and follow me directly. I guarantee that Imperial City Entertainment is still your Imperial City Entertainment and no one can take it away. How about that?"
As Conte spoke, he looked up and down at Bai Lu. Her curvy figure and her stunning little face made him swallow hard several times.
"Impossible! Get out of here!"
Bai Lu trembled with anger, pointed at him, and gritted her teeth.
"Hmm? Are you planning to drink a toast instead of eating it? Believe it or not, I will completely destroy your Imperial City Entertainment right now?"
When Kongde was scolded, his face suddenly darkened and he said coldly.
"Mr. Kong, you can't do this to Sister Bai!"
Li Nan, who had not exited just now, was a little anxious. When he saw Bai Lu being bullied, he quickly came over and said.
"Well? You're a stinking bitch, I spent a lot of money to recruit you to join Modu Media. You don't speak for me, but you still help her?"
Kong De suddenly turned his head and glared at Li Nan, saying coldly.
"I... no matter what, you can't bully Sister Bai!"
Li Nan's face was pale, she bit her lips and stood in front of him.
"Get the fuck out of here, if you keep talking nonsense to me, I won't even let you go!"
Kong De was furious, stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Nan's head in front of him, and pulled hard to the side.
Li Nan screamed and was thrown out. His head hit the coffee table behind him with a bang, and blood immediately flowed down.
"Comte, you bastard!"
Bai Lu screamed angrily, and quickly walked a few steps to Li Nan. While taking out a handkerchief to help her hold the wound, she turned her head and glared at Kong De.
"Asshole? Hum, you're the one to blame!"
A sinister smile appeared on Conde's face.
"Since you don't know what's good and what's good, I might as well destroy your Imperial City Entertainment today!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand coldly.
The office door was opened again, and a dozen people filed in, hurrying in.
Bai Lu was stunned.
The dozen or so people who walked in were all people from Huangcheng Entertainment, and several of them were newcomers that Huangcheng Entertainment focused on cultivating. They were the hopeful new stars that Bai Lu had always wanted to rely on to make a comeback.
"What are you doing in here?"
Bai Lu asked subconsciously, but when she saw the sinister smile on Kong De's face, a bad thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Mr. Bai, we, we are here to resign!"
Everyone was silent except for a woman who was dressed somewhat coquettishly and took a few steps forward and said loudly.
"Resign? Huo Xiaoyan, you..."
"Mr. Bai, are you trying to say that I, Huo Xiaoyan, have no conscience? Yes, I, Huo Xiaoyan, have no conscience, but people die for money and birds die for food. Now that Huangcheng Entertainment can no longer sustain it, you shouldn't let us all accompany you.
Are you going to die on this tree?"
The woman named Huo Xiaoyan sneered.
"Anyway, we are resigning today, whether you agree or disagree!"
"Mr. Kong has promised us that even if you don't let go, you will pay us the liquidated damages in the contract!"
She turned to look at Kong De and gave him a coquettish little wink.
"Kongde, you..."
Bai Lu couldn't wait to rush over and fight Kong De.
These dozen people now constitute the entire backbone of Imperial City Entertainment.
Several of them are the ones she focuses on cultivating, hoping to find an opportunity to promote them and help Huangcheng Entertainment turn around.
Once these people leave, Imperial City Entertainment will really be doomed!
Now Comte is giving her a blow, this move is too cruel!
"Haha! Bai Lu, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, it is so dangerous. I have told you before that your temper is not suitable for this society!",
"How about I give you another chance, follow me, and live a life of fine clothing and fine food from now on?"
Comte's face was full of pride, now he was already a sure winner.
But at this moment, a lazy male voice sounded at the door.
"Go back to where you came from. If you want to steal a woman from me, I will make you die in a very rhythmic manner."
Bai Lu suddenly looked up and saw a cynical face.
