Chapter 1498: Public Expulsion

The people around Charlton were in an uproar. One must know that he was the person in charge of today's Xiaojinren Awards Ceremony, and his sudden arrival here must mean something had happened.

Yang Zixiong and Yang Lili were overjoyed when they saw him, already guessing what was about to happen.

Shang Tiantian was completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on, but a bad premonition rose in her heart that something big was about to happen again.

Charlton stepped up to her, first giving a polite smile, then said, “Young Miss Shang, I'm sorry, there's something I need to inform you.

Due to a mistake by the staff, your Brothers Entertainment Company and you are not qualified to participate in this awards ceremony, so please withdraw now.”

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted.

“What's going on? They're all ready, and at this point, they're told they're not qualified to participate? This is too ridiculous, isn't it?”

“What do you mean the staff made a mistake? This excuse is too flimsy, isn't it?”

“I've attended the Xiaojinren Awards Ceremony so many times, but this is the first time someone has been kicked out on the spot…”

The people present whispered among themselves. Everyone could see that all of this was directed at Brothers Entertainment Company and the woman in front of them.

However, these people were just talking. They were not involved, so they hung high. This was the chief executive of the entire awards ceremony, and they could not afford to offend him, nor would anyone stand up and speak.

Shang Tiantian was first stunned, then her face became extremely ugly.

“Our company officially received an invitation from Hollywood. Why should I leave?”

Charlton smiled again, not in a hurry at all.

“Young Miss Shang, haven't I explained it to you? This was our staff's mistake. The invitation was sent incorrectly. Originally, your Brothers Investment Company was not included.

Since we found the mistake, we must correct it. Please leave now.”

He said this, but there was no attitude of admitting fault or apologizing. On the contrary, his words were full of mockery and ridicule.

Yang Lili immediately became extremely excited, as if she had been injected with a stimulant.

“Did you hear that? They told you to leave. What are you still doing here? Do you have to call security?”

“You…”

Shang Tiantian was almost driven mad. What did he mean by a staff mistake? No one would believe such a thing.

Even if there was such a low-level mistake, why wasn't it corrected in advance? He chose to notify her that she was disqualified just before she was about to walk the red carpet.

This was clearly intentional, meant to make her lose face.

Thinking of Yang Zixiong's previous words, she understood that all of this was orchestrated by Xiongba Entertainment Company, completely targeting Brothers Entertainment Company and herself.

Sun Yanhong's fiery temper immediately flared up. She pointed at Charlton's nose and shouted, “Why? What kind of outrageous rule is this?

Even if your staff made a mistake, the responsibility should be yours. How can you kick people out at this time? Aren't you bullying people?”

“Young lady, didn't anyone tell you that pointing at people when you talk is very impolite?”

Charlton's face immediately turned cold, and his previous fake smile disappeared.

“Don't you see what kind of strength Brothers Entertainment Company has? A newly established company, what right does it have to participate in our Xiaojinren Awards Ceremony? What right does a female artist from a small company like yours have to walk the red carpet here?

Leave quickly now, don't affect our normal activities, otherwise I will call security to remove you.”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen tall and strong security guards ran over, looking as if they would start removing people if there was any disagreement.

At the same time, a large number of reporters also gathered, their cameras and video cameras clicking and flashing non-stop, focusing all attention on Shang Tiantian's extremely ugly face.

The surrounding people kept shaking their heads and sighing. Everyone understood what was going on. Brothers Investment Company had offended someone, otherwise, this situation would never have occurred.

Charlton said, “I'll give you one last chance. Leave quickly.”

Yang Lili had a haughty expression: “Did you hear that? They told you to get out quickly.”

Yang Zixiong had a smug look: “Shang Tiantian, now you know that the strength of your Brothers Entertainment Company cannot compare to our Xiongba Entertainment Company. You are still far behind.”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Charlton again: “Mr. Charlton, I think disqualifying these people is enough. After all, it's not easy for them to come all the way here.

Although they can't walk the red carpet, you can let them see how our artists walk the red carpet. They should broaden their horizons after all.”

“In that case, I won't kick them out. I'll let you stay here and watch.” Charlton said to the surroundings, “Now the red carpet ceremony officially begins. Next, the first person to step onto the red carpet today is our Young Miss Yang Lili, from Xiongba Entertainment Company in Huaxia.”

There was an uproar at the scene, and Yang Lili became extremely smug.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

She looked at Shang Tiantian and said, “Shang, watch carefully, I am the first person to walk the red carpet today.”

After this woman finished speaking, she stepped onto the red carpet, her expression incredibly arrogant, like a queen high above all others.

Shang Tiantian was so angry that her face turned green, but she was helpless.

She was very clear about the seriousness of today's incident. It was not just a matter of not being able to walk the red carpet. Once it spread back to Huaxia, Brothers Entertainment Company would lose all face and no longer have any prestige to speak of.

Some of the onlookers shook their heads and sighed, some sympathized, some gloated, and some watched the show. In their opinion, this outcome was inevitable, all because Brothers Entertainment Company had provoked the chief executive.

And just then, an indifferent voice sounded: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Everyone looked over at once. The speaker was none other than Ye Bufan.

Charlton looked at him with a sneer: “Young man, who are you? Are you questioning me?”

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Bufan, and I am the boss of Brothers Entertainment Company.”

Charlton said mockingly, “Even if you are the boss, it won't change the decision I've made.”

What a joke, this was the Xiaojinren Awards Ceremony. There were hundreds, if not a thousand, bosses who came here. How could he care about a small company from Huaxia?

Ye Bufan said, “It seems you are being unreasonable?”

Charlton laughed heartily: “Reason? What I say is reason.”

Yang Zixiong followed up, “That's right, Ye, just give up. Here, Mr. Charlton's words are reason, they are the rules, and no one can change them.”

“Alright, in that case, I'll show you what it means to be unreasonable.”

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he shouted loudly to the entire venue: “Charlton, Santos, James, you three, get over here!”

He didn't use a microphone, but with the infusion of True Qi, his voice clearly reached everyone's ears in the venue.

“What's going on? Is this Young man crazy, shouting and yelling here?”

“Who is he shouting at? Why do those three names sound somewhat familiar?”

“Oh my God, this is a madman. How dare he publicly shout the names of the three Family heads and tell them to get over here? Does he not want to live?”

The people present discussed animatedly. Some knew the three Families, while others, due to their lower status, had never heard of them.
