With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.

The commotion behind the scenes grew increasingly louder, eventually attracting the attention of those in charge.

As for Linhai TV, Yu Zhifei stayed at the command post to oversee the event, while Wang Lei hurriedly followed Zhuo Tao backstage.

On the city government side, Secretary Ding, who had been overseeing the entire music festival, also rushed over.

"What's going on?" Zhuo Tao asked with a gloomy face as soon as he arrived.

The female assistant immediately recounted the whole story while crying, of course, following the pre-arranged narrative by Zhuo Tao.

Zhuo Tao looked at Su Zhen and said unhappily, "Su Zhen, this is really outrageous! How could you hit someone?"

“I didn’t hit her at all! She poured coffee all over me,” Su Zhen argued angrily.

Zhuo Tao shook his head: "Even if she accidentally spilled coffee all over you, you can't hit her!"

"I...when did I hit her?" Su Zhen trembled with anger.

The other party immediately started shouting:

"How could you say you didn't fight? We saw it with our own eyes, and you're still trying to deny it?"

"Is this the kind of quality you people who overturn culture have?"

"Not only did he hit people, he also looked down on us staff members and called us servants!"

"Yes! If we don't get an explanation today, we're not doing this anymore!"

Zhuo Tao quickly offered a perfunctory reassurance: "Everyone, calm down! No one can afford to be responsible if the music festival is delayed because of these trivial matters!"

The leader of an entertainment company immediately said, "If we're talking about responsibility, then it's Flip Culture that's responsible!"

Other team leaders echoed this sentiment:

"This whole thing was started by the subversive culture group. Now that it's blown up, they should be held responsible!"

"What kind of company produces what kind of artists? We are ashamed to share the stage with such an unethical company!"

"Yes! Let's stop acting and go!"

"Do whatever you want, we're not doing it anymore!"

The group shouted and yelled, ready to leave with their group immediately.

Secretary Ding broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly came over to persuade them: "Everyone, don't act rashly! It's just a small friction, it won't delay the music festival performance..."

The crowd completely ignored him and shouted:

"If you don't want us to miss the performance, then get the Overturned Culture out of here immediately!"

"Yes, get them out of here! We will never share the stage with a company like that!"

"From now on, we will not participate in any events where they are present!"

"Nobody can try to intimidate us with their big accusations! Our company isn't located in Linhai, so we're not afraid of any official suppression from you!"

"If you don't give us an explanation for what happened today, we're not performing anymore!"

"Even if you, Linhai, blacklist all of our entertainment companies, we still won't perform today!"

Su Zhen was extremely frustrated, but he was also dumbfounded to see things had escalated to this point.

If someone ruins the entire music festival because of their own actions, wouldn't Overturn Culture become the culprit of Linhai City?

Wouldn't all the advantages that the company had worked so hard to build up disappear overnight?

For a moment, Su Zhen was anxious, resentful, and afraid. After much deliberation, he finally decided to swallow his grievances.

Just as he stepped forward, preparing to humiliatingly apologize and admit his mistake, Wang Ke walked over and pulled him behind her.

"Finally, Boss Fan is here?" Zhuo Tao sneered. "Your people have caused such a huge mess, and you've just been watching from behind without coming over. You've got quite the airs of a boss."

"If I don't give you a chance to fully demonstrate your acting skills, wouldn't all your rehearsals have been for nothing?" Wang Ke said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Tao frowned.

"It's pointless," Wang Ke said indifferently.

He slowly raised his hand, moved his arm horizontally, and his fingers swept over all the people from the seven major entertainment companies in front of him:

"Really boring!"

"Make my people apologize? What gives you the right?"

"Do you think that just because three people can make a tiger, and that public opinion can melt metal, you can gang up on each other and act shamelessly, so that people with any sense of shame will have to bow down to you?"

"dream!"

"I'm telling you this straight today: Good will never prevail over evil!"

"Apologize? No way!"

"Don't want to act anymore? Fine, then all of you get out!"

"Without you rotten eggs, how can Linhai not grow a big cake?"

"Does he really think he's someone important, that the entire planet Earth has to revolve around him?"

"Get out! If you're not going to act, get out right now!"

"However, since you dared to walk out on the spot and disregard Linhai, then you can forget about Linhai's market from now on! Linhai no longer welcomes you!"

"Also, you can leave, but after you leave, you'll have to pay the penalty for breach of contract!"

His words caused an uproar among the seven major entertainment companies:

"Tell me, what kind of company produces what kind of artists? Look at their bosses, they're all such scoundrels!"

"I've never seen anyone act so arrogantly after hitting someone. It's truly an eye-opener!"

"Fine, Wang Ke, you wait! This isn't over yet! This will be trending on social media soon, and then I'll see how your 'Flipping Culture' explains itself to the people of the whole country!"

"Let's stop acting and go!"

Amidst the shouts, everyone turned and left, no matter how much Secretary Ding tried to stop or persuade them.

Zhuo Tao didn't leave. He looked coldly at Wang Ke, a smug smile on his face: "Wang Ke, well done, you've got guts!"

He took two steps forward, leaned closer, and whispered, "To be honest, I really admire you. If I were in that predicament, I would definitely choose to sacrifice a pawn to save the king. You're amazing! You're really tough! But after ruining the first Linhai Music Festival, do you think the city government will still treat you like a treasure?"

"It's none of your business," Wang Ke said coldly.

Zhuo Tao smiled and took two steps back, giving Wang Ke a thumbs-up as he turned and left.

"President Zhuo, you can't leave!" Secretary Ding exclaimed anxiously, grabbing his arm. "The music festival is a major event for the city government, and it's being broadcast live nationwide. How are we going to clean up this mess?"

Zhuo Tao sighed helplessly: "I didn't want things to turn out like this, but the problem isn't with us, it's with the culture of overthrowing. Why are you coming to me instead of reasoning with them? Have you chosen the wrong person?"

With that, he shoved Secretary Ding's hand away and strode off, shouting as he went, "Everyone from Yuting Culture, get out!"

"This..." Secretary Ding broke out in a cold sweat and rushed to Wang Ke, stamping her feet as she said, "President Fan, how could things have come to this? What should we do?"

Wang Ke laughed: "I made myself very clear just now—we can still make a big cake without these rotten eggs, and we'll make it even better, more fragrant, and sweeter!"

"The singers are all gone. Tell me, what are we going to do next?" Secretary Ding was both angry and anxious, and almost shouted.

Su Zhen was so moved that his eyes reddened, tears welling up. He gritted his teeth, walked over, and said, "President Fan, thank you! But I can't let the whole music festival be ruined because of me. I'll get right back..."

Wang Ke laughed: "Nonsense! This has nothing to do with you. It's just that bastard Zhuo Tao trying to sabotage our culture."

Luo Jun walked over at this moment, looking nonchalant and grinning, "Xiao Zhen, you've been focusing on practicing your singing behind closed doors, so you don't know about some things that have happened at the company. Actually, President Fan was prepared for this a long time ago!"

"Huh?" Su Zhen was taken aback.

Did CEO Fan know all along that something bad would happen today?
