Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Patrick immediately shook his head when he heard Jane’s words.

These past few days, Jane had been running around dealing with the lawsuit, and that was exhausting enough. How could Patrick allow her to go to the company now?

“You should rest for a few more days. There’s no need to rush. The company matters can wait, and I can handle them on my own. You don’t need to get too involved,” Patrick said, concerned that Jane would worry if she saw the state of affairs in the company.

After all, the situation in various entertainment companies was similar now, all in a mess. Some companies were even on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was all because of the change in policy direction this time, leaving these companies no way out.

Yet, some companies, like Patrick’s, were still struggling on, hoping for their own spring to come.

Patrick didn’t know how this would end, but he could only do his best, and Jane agreed with a nod.

This made Patrick very happy, and the next day, he went to work as usual.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Patrick had no idea that Jane couldn’t sit still at home after resting for only two days.

When Jane arrived at the company alone, many of the artists had left, leaving Jane puzzled and suspicious. Something was definitely not right.

If it was a normal company restructuring, there shouldn’t have been any problem, and someone would surely understand.

After all, it took time for someone to adapt from one company to another.

Moreover, it wasn’t just one person now; even many people in the office had jumped ship directly, which was the strangest thing.

So Jane needed to find out and ask around to figure out what was going on.

She didn’t understand why the company had become like this, and Patrick hadn’t told her yet.

Seeing the situation at the company, Jane found people to inquire, eager to know what had caused it.

When she saw the assistant at the company, Jane looked at her, and the assistant was surprised to see Jane there.

Because, according to Patrick’s plan, Jane showing up at the company would probably take about a week.

And they had spent that week fixing everything, so Jane would see a brand new company, and she wouldn’t have anything to worry about.

But unfortunately, they hadn’t expected this sudden situation, leaving them at a loss. Patrick was now at his wit’s end.

If Jane asked about the company’s situation while it was still valuable, Patrick had hidden it, and now he dared not tell her about these things.

If things continued to escalate, Patrick might not be able to hold on.

Jane brought the assistant to the office.

“Tell me exactly what the reason is. If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to ask someone else,” Jane said.

The assistant didn’t hesitate. Before, they had hidden it from Jane out of concern for her health.

But now, speaking out was also for Jane’s health. If Jane got angry, he couldn’t bear the responsibility, so he had to be honest.

“We don’t know why, but many people have lost faith in our company, and the scandals of our artists are constantly being exposed by paparazzi.”

“This situation has been going on for a few days. We don’t know why this is happening or why so many people are leaving.”

Patrick found this very strange because he didn’t understand why those gossip writers’ noses were so sensitive.

They could accurately pinpoint what problems each of their artists had, and they did it in a very clever way, not just through ordinary means.

The small flaws in their artists’ bodies were magnified, and even the major flaws were being exaggerated.

Because of this, Patrick had been at his wits’ end these past few days trying to figure out how to handle this matter. It wasn’t just about giving an explanation in public.

They also had to cooperate with law enforcement, which was the most headache-inducing part.

Jane frowned upon hearing this. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.

“What are you planning to do with this? Have you found out if there are other scandalous artists in our company?”

Jane didn’t know how this situation would develop, so she quickly asked about the steps for handling it.

“We are currently working on it, but the company has been hit hard. Many people in the office have already resigned, so we are even busier and have no time for further adjustments.”

Patrick was quite helpless about this, scratching his head along with the assistant.

Even Patrick was scratching his head because if the foundation of a company wasn’t stable and there were issues to address, it wasn’t scary. It just required everyone’s joint effort to solve the problem.

But what was scary was part of the company’s staff resigning, which was like shaking the core of the army.

Now, many people were spreading rumors that the company was about to collapse, with not just one or two artists having problems.

Many artists were facing issues, which was a norm in Patrick’s company. If not resolved promptly, Patrick and Jane might face a lawsuit.

Those who had already made up their minds to leave were even more uncertain.

Recently, Patrick’s company had indeed had many operational problems, and these small issues were spreading, making some wonder if they would be fatal.

“Can’t you even pacify the staff? Are you just going to let this situation escalate, not taking any action, just passively dealing with it and waiting?”

“If this continues, how can the company’s affairs be handled properly? I don’t believe you can save the company,” Jane said angrily, wondering what Patrick was thinking as she worked hard on the lawsuit.

Although Patrick had been busy at the company, he hadn’t grasped the main point. Jane’s primary concern now was solving the company’s troubles rather than stabilizing the remaining people because troubles left unaddressed would only grow.

In the end, the company would become even more unstable, and even the remaining people would leave.
