Chapter 347
“You don’t have to worry about this matter! The promotion can wait, don’t rush it.”
Currently, The Wheelers were trending. Their new album had already achieved the top ranking. Sky Media’s Freezewave was simply no match for them.
“Sophie, I’m sorry.” Sunny apologized yet again. It’s all my fault. Things wouldn’t have gotten to this point if I hadn’t acted impulsively.
“Stop apologizing to me, Sunny! I already arranged for the best orthopedist to treat your hand!” The most important matter right now is his hands. The rest really doesn’t matter.
“Okay.”
Naturally, Sunny didn’t dare to have any opinion. He would obey Sophie, no matter what she said.
“Sophie, who exactly is the public relations manager you’ve hired? How are they so impressive?” Sunny asked curiously.
“I don’t think you two know each other. Her name is Xandra Yandell. You’ll meet her in the future.”
No one in the entertainment industry didn’t know who Xandra Yandell was.
Sunny was stunned.
“I can’t believe our public relations manager is Xandra.” There wasn’t anything in the entertainment industry that couldn’t be settled by Xandra. As long as she was there, she could handle any public relations crisis happening to the artists.
“That’s right.”
Mark didn’t expect himself to have heard about Xandra as well. He just hadn’t met her in person before.
Besides, the past few encounters were done in a hurry. Thus, he never thought that the person was Xandra.
After keeping Sunny company for over an hour, Sophie and Tristan left with Ysabelle.
The university entrance exam was around the corner, so Tristan sent Sophie and Ysabelle to their evening self-study session.
“Go ahead. I’ll pick you up after you’re done with your session,” said Tristan.
Meanwhile, merely a day had passed, yet Sky Media’s stock prices had already plummeted drastically.
At Sky Media’s entrance, many of Mark’s fans camped there, demanding Sky Media get an explanation from Clayton regarding The Wheelers.
They were holding up banners and protesting at the entrance.
Sky Media’s Freezewave was severely affected because of this issue.
At the moment, no one dared to invite them to go on shows. Therefore, they didn’t get to promote their albums at all.
Besides, their music was only cool on the surface level.
They were really doomed this time.
Everyone in Sky Media was in a chaotic uproar. No one knew what to do next. Moreover, Clayton wasn’t there.
Everyone in the company was panicking. All they could do was arrange for most of the security guards to maintain order at the entrance.
Meanwhile, Clayton had already pulled all the strings available. Nonetheless, he still couldn’t stop the rumors from spreading.
The evidence against them was being exposed, one after another.
Clayton threw a fit in the ward.
The public relations manager stood in front of Clayton and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“You’ve been working at Sky Media for a long time, but you can’t even settle this kind of issue? What right do you have to stay at Sky Media?” Clayton scolded.
“I really did my best, Clayton. It’s just that no matter what ideas we came up with, they could make all our efforts go to waste quickly.”
The opponent was simply too strong. Every time they thought they were about to settle the crisis, they would immediately be proven wrong.
“I don’t care what method you use. This matter must be fixed by tomorrow.”
Sky Media would be over if this continued.
The public relations manager replied, “I’ve genuinely run out of ideas, Clayton.” I’d always thought of myself as being quite formidable. Yet, I really do not know how to handle such an opponent this time. There is nothing I can do about this as well. I mean, who doesn’t want to get their job done?
“You—” Clayton was so pissed that he was about to lose his mind. How can he speak so matter-of- factly about his own incompetence?
The public relations manager didn’t dare to utter a word. He was handling this situation with one attitude—if Clayton wanted to reprimand someone, just let him be and allow him to vent his anger.
However, if Clayton really wanted him to handle this situation, he was too powerless to do so.
“You…” Clayton couldn’t speak another word because of how angry he was.
Clayton had personally made a few phone calls, but there was no way to delete those videos on the internet.
He had tried using all of his connections but to no avail.
“Tristan. This must be that b*stard Tristan’s doing,” Clayton muttered.
Tristan has always had issues with me. If it weren’t for him, how could these people be brave enough to reject me?
“Call Sophie.”
“Clayton, are you sure you want to contact her again? Last time, both of you had just met for less than half an hour, but you were already beaten up, and you even ended up like this,” said Clayton’s bodyguard.
Hearing that, Clayton’s temper flared immediately. “How dare you say such a thing to me? You’re my bodyguard, yet you didn’t even know I’d been beaten up, and you’re still shameless enough to keep getting your paycheck!”
The bodyguard dared not say another word.
He was the one who insisted on meeting Sophie alone in the first place. Besides, she is just a tiny girl. How would we know she was powerful enough to be able to beat him up badly?
Naturally, they couldn’t say these words aloud. If not, Clayton would just throw a bigger tantrum.
“What? Do you have a problem with what I said?” Seeing the look on the bodyguard’s face, Clayton felt uncomfortable again.
The bodyguard shook his head instantly. “Of course not. I don’t have any opinion about that, and I don’t dare to have one. I also won’t have one no matter what.”
Clayton was enraged and speechless.
Instantly, the bodyguard exited the ward. He couldn’t stay in front of Clayton any longer. If not, he would really be finished.
“Clayton, if even you are not able to handle this issue, it’s impossible for me to do anything as well. Isn’t that so?” The public relations manager didn’t wish to talk but had no choice.
“Y-You… Are you f*cking mocking me? Are you the boss? Or am I the boss here?” Clayton was extremely grumpy at that moment. Moreover, he tugged on his wounds after getting riled up, and the pain led him to clench his jaw. “Let’s do it this way. Contact Mark for me. I want to meet him alone.”
As long as Mark was willing to have a word with him, it would be more useful than anything else.
“Will he come? He’s our rival now, after all,” asked the public relations manager. To be frank, The Wheelers had suffered much unfair treatment when they were under Sky Media back then. They were also oppressed many times.
Besides, Clayton had beaten up Sunny.
Everyone knew that the five members of The Wheelers were tight-knit, so they must still resent Clayton for causing Sunny’s injuries.
It was simply impossible for them to speak up for Sky Media.
“So what? Are you saying that I should just lie here and wait for Sky Media to be doomed?” Clayton questioned. Money wasn’t the biggest issue here. This situation would also affect his dignity. “I don’t care what we have to do. Contact them. As long as we can end this matter, I will agree to whatever conditions they offer.”
When Mark received a call from Sky Media, he was in the midst of discussing the promotion matters with Sophie.
“Who’s calling you? Why aren’t you answering the call?” Sophie asked when she saw Mark spacing out while staring at the phone.
