Chapter 167: Don’t Look For Trouble And Trouble Won’t Come Looking For You

Taking a seat on the sofa, Shen Xi watched the show with her expression growing gloomy. Towards the end, her eyes reflected cold murderous intent behind a surge of raging flames.

Great!

The TV station had a lot of nerve!

How dare they edit her show as they pleased!

The episode released today had added in scenes she had already edited out. The plot was drawn out, making the storyline go all over the place.

To make it worse, there were double the usual amount of commercials in between.

“Xixi, something’s off, right?” Yun Jinping asked her.

Shen Xi nodded. It was not just off; it was way wrong. Who gave them the right to edit her TV show? “Mom, I’m going to the office for a bit.”

With the viewership of “The Smiling Nation” at a record high, they would rather play hardball and pay compensation for non-compliance to get their hands on commercial fees, huh?

Did they think they could do as they pleased after buying the rights to the show?

“Xixi, I’m coming with you.” By the grim look on her daughter’s face, Yun Jinping knew that she was going after the TV station because of their actions.

Shen Xi turned to her. “Mom, stay at home and wait for Old Shen. I’m going to look for my brother. I might not be coming home tonight. Don’t worry. Call me anytime.”

There was no way Yun Jinping’s mind could be at rest. She walked her off to the neighborhood entrance and watched her get into the car before advancing home.

Yuan Yu was not in China and had gone abroad for business yesterday. After learning about the matter through a phone call from his executive, he immediately gave Shen Xi a call. “Xixi, don’t be hasty and don’t let the impulse get the best of you. I’m flying back now and will go with you tomorrow.”

So, the TV station had no shame and wanted to burn bridges?

It was a norm for TV stations to edit and broadcast shows after purchasing the licensing fees to them.

Nevertheless, it was a different story for “The Smiling Nation”. In response to their President Shen’s demands, a clause in terms of broadcasting rights was written clearly in the contract. The episodes were to be released based on their own cuts and could not be amended no matter in running time or editing.

Otherwise, it was a breach of contract.

Seeing that “The Smiling Nation” had become a hit and over 10% ratings in viewership, the TV station was banking on the commercial fees. Ten-times the breach of contract damages, let alone double the penalty, was a piece of cake to them.

The TV station must think that Cosmos Entertainment Corporation was a tiny office that would not fight back or have a falling out with them because of this.

There might be some leeway if it were him but when it came to their Little Chairman Shen, things were going to get ugly.

Shen Xi returned to the office and retrieved the contract before taking a flight to Ocean City. Her destination was Star TV station.

Yuan Yu wanted to go with her, but flights were grounded due to a typhoon. There was no point in getting himself worked up. Despite being conscious that she could handle it alone, Yuan Yu gave her advice on the call. “Do what you have to. Don’t be afraid. They’re the ones at fault here.”

“I know.” It was three in the morning by the time Shen Xi got off the plane. She passed by rows and rows of streetlights while on her way from the airport to the TV station. “Yuan Yu, don’t rush back. Be safe. I will take care of things here.”

“Our company may be small, but we can’t allow them to take advantage of us. Just do it and remember, I have your back in everything.” Yuan Yu spoke in a solemn voice.

The TV station would not be afraid of trouble looking for them had they not looked for trouble themselves.
