Chapter 1120 1220. An unexpected turn of events

In the meeting room of the CAA company building, Hubble sat in the main seat today.

This position originally belonged to Ovitz, but since Ovitz jumped to Disney, this position has been taken over by Ron. Until today, this has always belonged to Ron's "throne", and no one can get involved.

However, today, Hubble finally sat in this position, and he will also judge Ron, the "king" here.

"Everyone, in just half a day, our CAA has gone from being the most trusted agency for artists to a company with negative labels such as 'arrogance' and 'brainlessness', which has lost its credibility."

"For an agency, this is fatal, and it may even ruin our CAA's dominance in North America. All of this is caused by Ron's willful behavior."

"I know he has made great contributions to the company over the years, but these contributions cannot make up for his mistakes. A long period of comfort has made him lose his vigilance, and his domineering style has made him arrogant. We should be good to the world, but he is the enemy of the world, which undoubtedly violates the development purpose of our company."

"So, we must let Ron recognize his mistakes and correct them in time, so that our company can get back on track."

Harbour and all the directors present said that although CAA has been dominated by Ron for many years, at that time, no one would object to Ron, who was able to make money with everyone based on his lack of mistakes.

But now it's different. Ron made a mistake, and it's not a small one. He also provoked an enemy like Nie Wei to CAA. Hubble felt that this was an opportunity. Even if he couldn't overthrow Ron's rule in CAA, he could at least shake his foundation and grab more power from him.

"I think Hubble is right. Ron made a mistake and he must take responsibility. CAA is not his company alone. His mistake affects the interests of all of us here. This is unforgivable." An old man with silver hair and gold-rimmed glasses said.

Hubble glanced at him with satisfaction in his eyes.

He is not without any help in the company, and the entire board of directors is not a monolithic entity. Just like this man named Hebrew, he has a grudge with Ron. Today, such a good opportunity to add insult to injury, he will naturally not miss it.

Hubble took the lead, and Hebrew's compliance also made many people who were dissatisfied with Ron stand up one after another. For a while, the whole conference room was filled with voices denouncing Ron.

Just when everyone was talking excitedly, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The moment Ron walked in, everyone who was talking excitedly suddenly became mute like a duck with its throat pinched. For a moment, the whole conference room went from noisy to silent.

Hubble frowned, very dissatisfied with the performance of these people.

It was Ron who made the mistake, but why did everyone seem more guilty when they saw Ron? This was not the result Hubble wanted to see.

"Ron, you are here." However, Hubble did not attack immediately, but greeted him as usual.

Ron did not respond, but stared at Harper who was sitting in his seat, his face gloomy, his eyes cold, like a venomous snake, which made Harper a little scared.

"Get out of the way." Ron walked step by step to Harper and said.

Hubble frowned, he did not expect that Ron was still so strong at this time. Everyone in the conference room was staring at the confrontation between the two, obviously watching.

"Ron, you are not suitable for this position today." Hubble replied after a long time.

"This is my seat. It was before, it is today, and it will be in the future." Ron took another step forward, almost touching Hubble's face.

Although Ron was half a head shorter than Hubble, at this moment, the heights of the two seemed to be reversed. Hubble, who had faintly stepped back, looked more like the shorter one, while Ron, who was half a head shorter, looked like a little giant, giving everyone on the scene a full sense of pressure.

"I don't care about you." Hubble still gave up his seat. He didn't want to argue with Ron over a seat. He felt that this would fall into Ron's trap. The focus today was to blame Ron, not to compete with Ron for the seat.

Anyway, when Ron stepped down, the position would still belong to him.

Of course, Hubble would not admit to anyone that he was faintly afraid when facing Ron just now.

Hubble returned to his seat and attacked directly.

"Ron, explain what happened to Katherine and Nina?"

After hearing Hubble's words, Ron's face instantly became gloomier. He hadn't heard such a direct question for many years, but he also knew that this was not the time to get angry. If he couldn't give a perfect explanation today, his authority would inevitably be questioned.

"This matter should be asked to that young Oscar director. He said these words without any factual basis, which also had a very bad impact on our CAA. I think we need an apology, a formal apology!" Ron said loudly, looking like an angry lion who was wronged.

As an American, Ron is well aware of the American way of diverting internal conflicts, that is, to create an enemy and divert internal conflicts to external conflicts, and the internal conflicts will naturally be resolved.

Those who still insist on internal conflicts at this time are ignorant of the overall situation, short-sighted, and even pests of the company.

Hubble also understood what Ron meant, and naturally could not let him get his wish easily.

"Ron, why did I hear that the rumors over there are not groundless? At least Catherine's matter is obvious to all. She and her agent even had a conflict because of this, and she is still in the police station. Our CAA has become a big joke in Hollywood, and even its credibility has been questioned. Can you explain it?"

"There is nothing to explain about this matter. It was all the agent's own decision. He thought Nie Wei was a Chinese, so he just wanted to make more money." Ron replied lightly.

I don't know if the agent who was disfigured in the police station at this moment would collapse directly when he knew that he had been abandoned by his master.

Hubble couldn't help but admire Ron's shamelessness and ruthlessness in his heart when he heard this.

"Do you think the media will believe your explanation? Even if the media believes it, will the public believe it? And how should we deal with the issue between Catherine and her agent? In addition, there is Nina. If it is not resolved well, our CAA's good reputation among celebrities will be gone."

"You must take this responsibility!" Hubble slammed the table and roared.

Ron jumped up from his seat and glared at Hubble, like a lion whose territory was invaded. Hubble dared to roar at him, which made him completely unexpected. The two looked at each other, and neither of them gave in for a while.

The other directors did not dare to interrupt at this time. They all watched the two founders compete quietly. Of course, many of them were gloating. After so many years, someone who dared to roar at Ron in the board meeting appeared again.

Hubble and Ron stared at each other, neither of them gave in, just like the struggle between the new and old wolf kings in the wolf pack, with a completely life-and-death posture.

This lasted for more than a minute, and the two of them stared with red eyes. Suddenly, a man walked into the door of the conference room.

This man was also startled when he first came in, after all, the atmosphere was too terrible, but he was responsible for delivering the latest news, so he still walked to Ron's side, and Ron also took advantage of the situation to avoid looking at Hubble.

Hubble raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then sat down with the attitude of a winner.

Ron just lost his composure, and Hubble thought happily in his heart. At that moment, he suddenly felt that Ron was not so terrible. Although his eyes were fierce, Hubble saw the guilty conscience in Ron's eyes.

Obviously, his old friend also knew that he was wrong this time, but he refused to admit it.

So Hubble made up his mind to put the blame on Ron's head, after all, this pot should have been taken by Ron.

Thinking of this, Hubble glanced at Ron and suddenly said in his heart that it was not good.

At this moment, Ron was no longer as furious as before. He even felt that the other party had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood?

Hubble's heart sank a little, and he felt that things were not good.

The person who passed the message to Ron left after he finished speaking. Ron looked at everyone and said, "I have a message for everyone. The matter between Catherine and her agent has been clarified. The two were injured because of drinking and playing around. Now the two sides have reached a settlement. Catherine also accepted an interview with the media and explained the reason."

At this point, Ron looked at everyone and suddenly smiled and asked, "I said, don't jump to conclusions about things you don't understand. Just like that young director, he will pay the price for his irresponsible remarks. No one can provoke CAA in Hollywood and get away with it. Even the six major film companies can't do it, and Nie Wei can't do it either."

"Are you right?" Ron asked calmly. His colleague glanced at Hubble. He really wanted to appreciate Hubble's expression at this moment. It must be very exciting.

Hubble's face was as gloomy as water, and he did not disappoint Ron's expectations at all.

At this moment, Hubble had shouted "MMP" countless times in his heart. He was deeply disappointed with that woman Catherine. Ron had plotted against her and caused her to lose such a precious opportunity, but she was so scared that she admitted it so quickly.

If that woman was in front of him, Hubble would definitely spit in her face and then loudly question her, where is your backbone!

At this moment, because of Catherine's compromise, Hubble was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

As for Nina, Hubble had no hope at all. She was just a little girl, and in this storm, Nina didn't suffer much damage. The only one who was seriously injured was Catherine. She was rumored to have asked for a huge salary, and she lost an extremely precious opportunity.

At this point, Hubble had no way to retreat and could only fight hard.

"Ron, do you think the media and the public are all fools? Catherine just broke out in a scandal, and then she had a fight with her agent and went to the police station. Now you tell the public that it was just their drunken prank. Who do you think will believe it?"

"I believe it." Ron answered without hesitation, and at the same time looked at the others and asked loudly: "Do you believe it?"

There was a silence at first, and it was obvious that everyone was confused by Ron's sudden question, but after coming to their senses, there were really some people who flattered him, and several directors immediately answered loudly "I believe it".

Hubble stared at these people, feeling that their moral integrity had been eaten away. They were so obvious in their lies, yet they still looked so confident that these people were Ron's licking dogs.

And those who lick dogs are doomed to lose everything!

"Hubble, I don't understand why you are fixated on this matter, but I can tell you clearly that I am very angry about what happened today, but I will not blame you for it, or even you, I will not blame you either. , because I understand that you are doing this to me for the good of the company.”

"And as a leader..." Ron said, staring at Hubble, especially the word 'leader', which made his voice even louder.

"I will choose to be generous. Let's end today's affairs. I also wish everyone a good dream tonight. As for what happened today, I will quickly come up with a solution. Remember, anyone who provokes CAA People are destined to pay the price!”

After Ron finished speaking, he stood up and left the meeting room. Most of the directors present also followed Ron's footsteps and left. There were even some people who had criticized Ron's actions just now, but at this moment, this group of people couldn't wait to see today. The incident had never happened, and many of them were even thinking about how to make up for today's 'mistake' and looking for opportunities to make amends with Ron.

In just a few minutes, there were only five people left in the conference room.

Hubble's face was horribly dark. He guessed the beginning but not the ending. Now everything is in trouble.

"Hubble, you disappoint me." Hebrew did not leave. He was a staunch opponent of Ron, and his face looked very ugly at this moment.

When Hubble heard this, his face turned even darker.

"But the matter is not over yet. If he can appease Catherine, he must have promised something to the other party. What we have to do is to win over Catherine. She changed her story because of Ron's promise, so we will use more promises to make the other party change her story again. "Hebrew said in a deep voice.

Hubble glanced at Hebra and nodded silently, but deep down he didn't feel that this was an easy thing to do. After all, Ron had much more energy than him. Even if Hebe and others were added, it wouldn't be easy. It's hard to come up with any benefits that would make Catherine 'rebellious' against Ron.

"Maybe we can get in touch with that person." Suddenly a person suggested.

"You mean...?" Hubble was startled at first, and then his eyes lit up immediately. He guessed who the other party was talking about.

"That's right, Hubble. If that big shot knew that Ron was causing trouble, he would definitely not let Ron off easily. Moreover, he is not afraid of CAA." Hebrew's expression became much clearer.

Thanks to Fantasyland for the generous tip.
