Chapter 466: A Perfunctory Apology

Translator: Zayn_ |

A thousand-mile dike will collapse in an ant nest.

This was the best idiom that could be used to describe the Shen Corporation.

Ever since Shen Ji was so angry that he was hospitalized, there had been no good news from the Shen Corporation. After Xu Hai’s case was exposed, the stock price fell again and again.

Shen Xiyan’s advertisement for G&A was released during this period.

Shen Xiyan didn’t even think about the actions and lines of the G&A advertisement.

She thought that once the advertisement came out, everyone would see that she, the daughter of the Shen family, was still fine. Perhaps she could stabilize the situation of the group.

However, what she did not expect was that what greeted her was not the brainless flattery of her fans, but the criticism of the public.

[ How dare you put up such advertisements and posters in such a grand manner. @ShenXiyan, are you doing this on purpose?]

[ There have been many insulting brands in the past two years. With a little understanding, you will know what those actions mean. Shen Xiyan still dared to shoot it and even accepted the endorsement. She doesn’t care at all.] [ Fans don’t care about these things at all. They only have their idol in their eyes. I

I That’s the way it is in the industry. As long as the limelight dies down, there will be artists who will sign again after the contract is terminated. They don’t have the self-awareness at all!]

I The road to Shen Xiyan has turned black. How disgusting.]

I Speaking of which, Song Qingyou didn’t reject the endorsement deal with G&A just because she saw the advertising plan, did she?]

I It’s very possible. Didn’t someone say that Song Qingyou rushed out of the G&A branch building?]

#G&A insult the people#

#Shen Xiyan endorses G&A#

#The Seven Deadly Sins of G&A#

# Strongly boycott G&A#

Several hot searches of the same series entered the rankings at the same time. If it was under normal circumstances, Shen Xiyan’s endorsement would indeed set off a little storm, but it would not reach the point where everyone hated her.

However, the problem was that the capital that was eyeing the Shen Corporation was bent on short-selling the Shen Corporation.

Therefore, any negative news related to the Shen family would be magnified by them.

This led to the current situation.

The impact of the subsequent public opinion was too great, and the officials had no choice but to step forward and ask G&A to withdraw the relevant publicity and give an explanation to China.

Although the new person in charge of the G&A branch looked down on China, he wasn’t stupid enough to insist on his own way.

However, he couldn’t resist his stupid teammate, who didn’t take public opinion and official statements seriously at all.

They even made a big fuss on his social media platform.

“I’ve long expected that my commercial would hit a wall in China. Who asked the Chinese to not understand art at all?”

“But I didn’t expect that the Chinese artistes were so self-conceited and short-sighted that they even rejected the endorsement of G&A…1 didn’t expect the Chinese to boycott G&A just because of an advertisement. This is ridiculous.”

“In our country, such a thing would never happen because our artistic atmosphere is strong and very tolerant.”

Clint did not take his words to heart at all.

To him, it was just a small complaint.

Coincidentally, when these “complaints” were posted, G&A issued a very perfunctory apology statement in China.

In the eyes of the public, not only did G&A apologize perfunctorily, but they also looked down on them behind their backs!

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar.

( G&A, you don’t have any sincerity at all. You can just make a casual apology statement in China. Who knows what other countries you slander like this?] [The apology statement didn’t promise to remove the problematic product, nor did it promise to withdraw all publicity. It was just used to fool people.] [ # Strongly boycott G&A# I hope someone doesn’t have a bad memory this time and buy G&A’s stuff the next day]

[ Ah, right, right, right. We don’t understand art, and we don’t tolerate it. If you have the ability, don’t come to our domestic market! As if only G&A produces luxury goods in the world! What’s there to be proud of?)

[ You can’t bear to part with the domestic market and look down on the Chinese. What is this called? Being cheap? This is too disgusting, this group of idiots]

Many people had guessed correctly that ga was indeed reluctant to part with the Chinese market.

The reason why there was no news after the apology was because the company was in a mess.

One side thought that if they didn’t care about the slightest bit of public opinion, it would disappear very quickly. There was no need to take the initiative to damage the image of G&A over such a small matter.

The other party felt that the Chinese market had huge potential. No matter what, they should first remove the person in charge of the branch to express their sincerity in apologizing.

In essence, both sides did not think much of China.

In the past, Shen Xiyan might have been able to wait.

This was because there were some artistes in the industry who were completely fine after endorsing a brand that humiliated the country. But now, the Shen Group was about to fall into a precarious situation and Shen Xiyan wanted to inherit the rights. Once her reputation was damaged, she would no longer have a chance.

Therefore, before the next step was taken, Shen Xiyan hurriedly held a press conference.

At the press conference, she firmly stated that she would terminate her contract with G&A.

The media wouldn’t leave after taking photos, nor would they let Shen Xiyan off easily.

The Entertainment Weekly reporter in the front row asked sharply, “As far as I know, Song Qingyou immediately decided to cancel the collaboration after seeing the commercial proposal. It can be seen that the content of the commercial proposal is very insulting. Then, how could you finish shooting the commercial and act as if nothing happened? Did you not see it at all, or did you not care at all?”

“I didn’t see it.” Shen Xiyan lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake.

“Believe it or not, I really didn’t know that those actions were insulting because I’m usually really busy and rarely browse social media platforms…”

Mo Zhenning chimed in. “Xiyan reads scripts the most, followed by company reports. She really doesn’t read much news on the Internet. I’ve said before that if she continues like this, she won’t be able to keep up with the times sooner or later.”

“You mean Song Qingyou is very free?”

Shen Xiyan wanted to give a positive answer.

However, Mo Zhenning kicked her under the table. “Xiyan and I didn’t mean that. It’s just that our personal hobbies are different and the information we receive is different.”

Shen Xiyan nodded and her eyes suddenly turned red.

“I don’t really pay much attention to these things myself. The people around me are different from me. However, from looking at the advertising plan to the audition and filming, 1 basically completed it all by myself. My assistant could only wait outside.”

“At that time, I thought that it was a rule of G&A, so I didn’t question it. As a result, the people around me didn’t know what kind of advertisement I shot…” As she spoke, Shen Xiyan burst into tears again, “I really didn’t do it on purpose. If 1 knew that this was an insulting advertisement, I definitely wouldn’t have accepted it because I’m a Chinese citizen!”

She touched her face, stood up, and bowed. “I’m sorry. I’ve been very worried about my father’s illness recently, so I’ve been a little negligent at work. Please forgive me.”

Shen Xiyan had gone all out this time and even cried in front of the camera, ruining her makeup.

The passersby might not buy it, but the fans would definitely forgive her easily..
