Chapter 335 - 335 Benson's New Piece of News, Star Gathering Party!

335 Benson’s New Piece of News, Star Gathering Party!

That afternoon, Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen went to look for Benson and arranged to meet him at a remote cafe. It was called “Meeting Coffee”, very unique, quiet, and elegant. It was the location Benson had designated.

After Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen entered, they found a corner opposite and sat down. They ordered two glasses of ice Americano and kept their eyes on the door.

Not long after, a man in a dark brown windbreaker and sunglasses big enough to cover half his face walked in and looked around.

Luo Feng said to Yang Tianzhen, “He’s here.”

Right on the heels of that, he waved at the man in the sunglasses.

Benson jogged over like a thief and lowered his voice. “How did you know it was me?”

Luo Feng did not know if he was a little naturally stupid. “The temperature outside is not low. How can anyone wrap themselves up like a dumpling to drink coffee?”

Benson was taken aback. He thought his disguise was perfect.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes. The whites of his eyes were all red and blood-colored, so obvious that it seemed like he had special effects makeup on. He looked like he was about to die.

Luo Feng changed the cup of coffee he had ordered for him to milk, worried that he would suddenly die if he drank any more caffeine.

“Why is it so bad? Did the trainees leaving together implicate you?” Yang Tianzhen said in surprise.

“It’s not like you don’t know that the higher-ups don’t care about those trainees.” Benson pinched his temples. “The company doesn’t want to spend resources on them at all. Just recruit another batch after they leave. In any case, the reputation is there.”

“Even though Morris doesn’t care if they stay or leave, he will still deal with what needs to be dealt with for the sake of his face,” Luo Feng said. “What does Morris plan to do?”

“Sue them. It’s the usual method,” Benson said.

He had never liked Maurice’s trainee rules. Now that the company was being tough, he hated them even more.

“That’s not good for them,” Luo Feng said.

When Benson heard his words, he asked, “Boss Luo, you’re so concerned about this… Could it be that those trainees went to look for you!?”

“Yes.” Yang Tianzhen nodded and said, “Many people have passed the interview. They can be hired after cutting ties with their former boss.”

“You guys are so bold!” Benson gave them a thumbs up.

Luo Feng’s decision was no different from a direct slap to the face. No company in the entertainment industry dared to offend Morris like this.

“In short, the higher-ups have handed this matter to the legal department. I can’t interfere,” Benson said. “But Old Yang, there’s something I have to tell you.”

“What?”

“The company has already received an invitation to the Star Gathering Party. Didn’t you hear anything?”

“I didn’t know about this at all.” Yang Tianzhen’s expression darkened.

The Star Gathering Banquet was an annual charity event in the entertainment industry. Every year, the theme was either charity or an award ceremony. Especially the Star Gathering Awards, it was said to represent public opinion. It stood from the perspective of the audience and affirmed the contributions of celebrities.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Star Gathering Party, which was filled with gimmicks, attracted a lot of attention. It was once a television program with the highest viewership ratings at the same time. It was said that it would be broadcasted live on the Internet this year.

With such a huge entertainment industry incident, Yang Tianzhen was completely kept in the dark. It could be seen how much effort Morris had put in behind the scenes.

“There’s still time. If you can get the invitation, the influence of the Innovative Artist Company will definitely rise to another level. At that time, you will have more confidence in signing a contract with the trainees.” Benson persuaded.

He was sincerely thinking for Luo Feng.

“Thank you for informing me. I’ll contact them immediately and see if I can get the invitation.” Yang Tianzhen picked up the phone and hurriedly sat at another table.

Benson felt relieved. He picked up the milk and drank half a glass in one go.

“Thank you for reminding us,” Luo Feng said. “I know you’re taking a huge risk too.”

“This is not considered an internal secret of the company, so it’s nothing.” Benson smiled self-deprecatingly and wrapped his windbreaker tightly.

Luo Feng could tell that he was very afraid of being discovered.

It was not a coincidence that so many trainees left at the same time. While Morris salvaged their losses, they would also “clean up” the company’s employees.

Benson had previously brought Hui Xin to meet them, leaving behind his chink in one’s armor. Luo Feng had once extended an olive branch to Benson, but he had been rejected.

Yang Tianzhen was anxiously looking for someone to build a relationship with. Luo Feng and Benson were speechless.

Benson was drowsy. His head nodded bit by bit, and his two layers of eyelids were about to close. Luo Feng played with his phone and browsed through the grand occasion of the Star Gathering Party in the past few years.

“They’re dead! A bunch of snobs!” Yang Tianzhen cursed.

His furious roar attracted the attention of the others. The boss looked unhappy and placed his finger in front of his mouth, indicating for them to lower their voices.

Benson woke up and looked around. “What happened? What’s wrong?”

Luo Feng waved his hand and asked Yang Tianzhen to sit back down first. He also asked for another cup of hot water.

“All of them are avoiding me like I’m the God of Plagues. Am I that scary?!” Yang Tianzhen pounded the table angrily.

“It’s understandable that they don’t want to get involved. Kou Zhiyuan knows your ability best after all. He will definitely put in a lot of effort to prevent you from going too far.” Benson looked down at his watch. “I can’t stay for long. I’ll leave first.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Luo Feng stood up and sent Benson to the door of the shop. He reminded him a few more times before walking back.

Yang Tianzhen’s expression was still very ugly.

“This gathering is rare. It’s a good opportunity to increase the exposure,” Yang Tianzhen said. “I’ll definitely think of a way!”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The two of them had their own jobs. Luo Feng needed to settle down the trainees while Yang Tianzhen had to find an invitation to the Star Gathering Party.

After leaving the coffee shop, the two of them went their separate ways.

Luo Feng returned to the farmer’s courtyard first. Xiao Chun and Tang Jin were filming a new video while Hui Xin stood at the side to observe and occasionally help.

When the filming ended, the three girls gathered together again and muttered, as if they were discussing some secret.

After a while, the three of them walked in front of Luo Feng.

“Boss, we have something to discuss with you.” Xiao Chun said.

She took out her phone and opened the chat app. It was a chat group with more than 100 people. “These are all trainees who left with Morris, and there are also seniors that used to be with them who paid the breach of contract fees. We all discussed and want to boycott Morris’ Overlord Contract together!”

Luo Feng scrolled online and looked at the dazzling replies. There were all kinds of reasons to be dissuaded. Whether they were voluntary or involuntary, they all paid the penalty.

Hui Xin said, “Benson has already told me that trainees like us have no possibility of debuting. The company lied to us. It’s too much!”

Hui Xin’s eyes turned red when she thought of her once wasted youth.

Xiao Chun said, “We discussed going online to expose it and let everyone see the true colors of a veteran company!”
