Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 463

As she spoke these words, everyone at the scene became quiet. One could almost hear a pin drop, and the sound of breathing was non-existent.

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Scott Huang, Fade Chen and Rowena Song.

Rowena folded her arms and looked at Fade. She was feeling confident, with a sneer on her face, as she waited for Scott Huang to reply.

Fade had an indifferent expression on his face. He remained calm and did not pay attention to Rowena.

Scott's expression was dark, and he seemed furious. He paused briefly, glanced at Fade, and started walking towards Rowena.

When Rowena saw this, she had a gloating expression on her face. She quickly said to Scott, "Director Huang, your enterprise can't recruit such employees in the future, I-"

However, before Rowena could complete her sentence, Scott slapped her directly on the face.

Rowena was completely stunned, she patted

her cheeks, and looked at Scott in confusion, saying, "Director Huang, you--"

Everyone else in the room was flabbergasted when they saw this. Their eyes and their mouths were completely wide open.

"What, what is going on here?"

"Why did Director Huang slap Rowena ? Is Director Huang such close friends with Fade ?"

"This, how on earth will they resolve this issue? The crowd outside is still waiting for the signing ceremony?"

Everyone felt as though they were on a turbulent ocean full of waves, and that they were completely disoriented.

At this moment, Rowena was furious and perplexed. She said to Scott, "Why did you slap me?"

Scott snorted coldly and answered, "Why, you ask? My slap is considered a light punishment in consideration of your attitude towards Brother Fade."

"Brother Fade? Him? Who is he?" Rowena asked, as she was baffled by Scott's use of the word 'brother'.

Scott said: "Brother Fade is the second largest shareholder of the enterprise. He is also your boss. At the same time, brother Fade is my boss. His words are sacred to me."

As soon as he had said this, not only Rowena, but all the other staff members were stunned.

They had assumed that Fade was just a random friend or even a relative of Scott's. But no one had expected Fade to have a higher status than Scott. At this moment, they finally understood why Fade was not intimidated by Rowena at all.

For a brief moment, everyone was dumbfounded and could not move.

At this sight, Scott snorted at Rowena and yelled, "You have to leave immediately!"

Hearing this order, Rowena came back to her senses. The expression on her face darkened and she was filled with fury. "Scott, you were the one who actively recruited me to sign this contract. If you drive me out now, that is a breach of contract and flouting the law."

Scott snorted and said, "Breach of contract? You must be joking, our enterprise hasn't signed any contract with you. We have not broken any laws."

"You, you made a promise to me that I will receive 100 million upon signing the contract." Rowena was reluctant to let go of the 100 million fee. At this moment, she wanted to be compensated at the very least. However, Scott replied coldly, "Are we still talking about the 100 million? You were rude towards Brother Fade, you should be thankful that you are still alive. Leave now!"

Rowena was incensed and felt completely humiliated. She wanted to call her bodyguards, but noticing Fade that was just beside her, she dared not move. In the end, she could only yell: "Without me, your ceremony will not be a success. Your enterprise will be a failure."

"This small enterprise is trash anyway. Let's see how long you can last, relying on all these rubbish artistes! Hmm! "Rowena bellowed, then she called all her bodyguards as she strode away.

Scott had no intention of persuading her to stay. Instead, he looked at Fade and said, "Brother Fade, Would you like me to send someone to deal with Rowena?"

Fade shook his head, and said lightly, "She is not important, no worries at all. There are still many people waiting for you outside, please go and get ready!"

Scott nodded, and then escorted the remaining six newcomers to the signing ceremony.

Due to the incident involving Rowena, the signing ceremony and corresponding schedule was shortened. Fade's speech was also cancelled. The opening ceremony of Scott Entertainment ended rather quickly and abruptly.

Scott Entertainment, which was surrounded by a lot of hype initially, had an opening ceremony which was rather disappointing. This sparked a huge discussion in the industry. In particular, the signing of Rowena Song, which was all but confirmed, was suddenly cancelled. People in the industry began to speculate about this matter and many people had their own theories on the reasons behind this.

Some speculated that Scott Entertainment had insufficient funds and could not come up with the 100 million as stated in the contract.

Others assumed that at the last minute, Rowena was poached by another big entertainment company.

There were also some who said that Rowena was a total diva and had offended the management of the enterprise. Thus she was told by the management to leave.

Amidst all the theories and speculations of the people, Rowena accepted an interview less than two hours after leaving the scene. She explained in the interview about the drama behind the contract signing. She created this narrative that she was the victim who had been oppressed and bullied by the company's senior management. She even accused Scott Entertainment's senior management of physical violence, and insinuated that they wanted to exploit and control her. She had to reject this oppressive behavior and this led to negotiations on the contract falling apart.

Seeing such reports, Rowena's fans and internet users who were not aware of the truth immediately started criticizing and chiding Scott Entertainment.

Scott was from the entertainment industry, therefore he was familiar with these tactics. He immediately responded by explaining clearly what had happened. He directly displayed the internal monitoring video o the company, showing Rowena throwing a huge tantrum, and showing her bad behavior towards the other artistes and staff members.

Finally, Scott made a public statement, saying that it was due to Rowena's misconduct that they had felt that she was not a good fit for the enterprise. Thus, the contract was cancelled. Throughout all these press interviews and statements, he did not mention Fade at all and covered up accordingly.

Scott Entertainment's response was well-timed. The reason given was crystal clear, and the evidence was conclusive. This instantly caused an uproar on the Internet, and some netizens immediately started to reproach Rowena, giving her a tongue-lashing for acting so arrogantly. They also praised Scott Entertainment for their transparency and integrity.

This drama and conflict, with its twists and turns, caused a stir on the Internet. For Scott Entertainment, which was newly established, it was not necessarily a negative situation. At least the company received a lot of publicity from this whole charade.

Of course, the loss of Rowena as the star of their enterprise was still substantial. She was after all, a big name and would have helped Scott Entertainment establish their reputation in the industry. Scott Entertainment still seemed to lack in star power, therefore, Scott actively contacted and auditioned other artists to see if they were the right fit for them to sign on. They would help to replace Rowena and help establish Scott Entertainment as a mogul in the industry.

Scott was really busy with the affairs of the enterprise, so Fade did not want to disturb him. He bade him farewell and left Scott Entertainment.
