Chapter 1131: Cooperation
Jane’s words represented her own confidence and attitude towards dealing with the situation. Now that Jane had finished speaking, the various departments looked at each other.
When they received the assistant’s orders earlier, they already felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Hearing Jane’s words now confirmed for them that this was a storm for the company, and its foundation might be shaken.
The others now understood Jane’s reasons and knew how to cooperate with her, nodding in agreement.
They had no choice but to cooperate and focus solely on gathering all the information Jane needed.
After they all left, they methodically performed their tasks. Two days later, a lot of materials had piled up in front of Jane.
These were materials on other problematic entertainers in the company, and there were even rumors about some individuals during this period.
Jane was very puzzled and didn’t understand why the paparazzi were moving so quickly and now had formed a storm, specifically targeting Patrick’s company.
While it was possible for occasional incidents to occur in other companies, it had never escalated to the current extent, as if everything was being exposed under the sunlight.
Any hint of suspicion was immediately illuminated.
Several companies had stopped working with Patrick’s company, citing concerns about the numerous problematic entertainers, stating that it would likely affect their own reputation.
If they were directly hit, there would be no way to sustain their programs. These voices were growing louder.
Previously, only middle-tier entertainers in Patrick’s company were affected. Now, the impact was on some of the top-tier entertainers.
Several entertainers had called the company with worried expressions, explaining the reasons.
Although the program team’s words were subtle, they essentially implied that Patrick’s company had numerous issues.
They were afraid to invite guests from Patrick’s company and would require a compensation agreement to mitigate the risk.
Jane felt there was an invisible force driving everything, as if everything was under the control of that force.
Meanwhile, Jane had people investigating the company’s ongoing issues. She started by determining which companies were not cooperating with them and then investigated with the program teams.
Today, Jane had informed some of the problematic entertainers, all of whom were terminated, and a public statement was released.
Jane’s actions shocked everyone, and many netizens were surprised to see so many problematic entertainers being terminated.
“Have you heard? There are still many people in Patrick’s company, just a small part has been removed. I really don’t understand why they exposed their flaws themselves, allowing others to catch them.”
“If this continues, more people might be revealed, or some will choose to leave on their own to avoid greater issues.”
One of the netizens’ comments prompted open-mindedness in another.
“Out with the old, in with the new. If they don’t leave, it could lead to a disaster. It’s better to remove all the problematic individuals now.”
“I think this action is actually in line with the policy. The policy is likely to be enforced continuously, and cleaning up now is to comply with its demands.”
This netizen was clearly reasonable and familiar with relevant policies.
According to policy, when a company encounters such issues, it is not just about problematic entertainers; the company itself needs to be dealt with, including fines and other measures, especially if the issues are uncovered by relevant authorities.
Although the authorities urge companies to self-regulate, a performing arts company is not a detective agency and cannot uncover all the issues.
Thus, stricter measures were implemented, including publicizing the individuals involved.
While they would bear some responsibility, it was minimal compared to those not exposed. This was to force companies to reveal their internal flaws.
Despite the threat, several companies were now voluntarily exposing themselves, effectively leading to the downfall of their own entertainers.
For them, these entertainers were tools for financial gain, and now they had to let them go.
Yet, Jane’s step was effectively ending the contracts of problematic entertainers within Patrick’s company.
Within just two days, Jane announced a second batch of problematic entertainers and terminated all contracts with them. However, Jane did not stop there.
Knowing that fines needed to be paid, she had to use her own methods to sustain the company.
“The assistant, bring out all the contracts of these problematic entertainers. I recall that when we initially signed contracts, there were certain requirements regarding their behavior and speech.”
“We didn’t just work with these individuals without a plan. After reviewing the contractual issues, we will decide whether to negotiate or take the matter to court.”
Everyone was anxious these days, facing such significant losses. How would they make up for them?
Jane had already identified the first step: those who violated their contracts had to be held responsible for the losses they caused the company.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
If she didn’t take this approach, others who remained in the company would simply walk away once they saw both parties tearing up the contracts.
