Preface
Who would have thought that a once beloved movie star would become everyone's after-dinner conversation in the blink of an eye?
Li Yapeng, an actor, philanthropist and businessman in Chinese mainland, owes a huge debt of 40 million yuan because of business failure. As everyone knows, in order to pay off the arrears, he began to desperately open a live broadcast to bring goods, and now he has also made a difference in the field of bringing goods.
But why can't Li Yapeng even repay 40 million when his career reputation and status are so good?
What did he do to make his former partner, who had known him for 24 years, turn around and break the news?
In the face of sharp comments on the Internet, what response will Li Yapeng, as a party concerned, make?
Chat history exposed
In April 23, Li Yapeng elaborated on some explanations for his related debts in his self-media account.
He admitted that he owed the departing employee the relevant wages and asked him to pay him back a little. In this way, Li Yapeng himself also agrees: it is natural to repay debts.
However, Li Yapeng himself did not match his words with deeds. Perhaps because he couldn't bear it anymore, Li Yapeng's former partner recently also ended up and revealed many chat records with him.
It can be seen from the message sent by this former cooperative friend that he and Li Yapeng have known each other for 24 years. In 2000, he became popular because he was the editor-in-chief of "Showbiz" magazine, and Li Yapeng filmed "Smiling Proud Jianghu", so the two became so-called friends.
Later, Li Yapeng invited him to join Zhongshu and take charge of the COART Asian Youth Art Scene, which lasted for four years.
The reason why Li Yapeng was able to start a live broadcast to make money, and the company's initial team was also completely from the hands of his former partners.
Looking at the records of the whistleblower, it can be seen that the time span of his conversation with Li Yapeng is very large, from 19 to 22 years, the former partner has been asking Li Yapeng and asking for salary. There were even cases where the 2018 salary was claimed in 2020.
In January 2020, I asked once, in March, in August, and again in November and December.
But the ending of asking for money is: asking for money or not.
Two years in arrears, the time gap is a bit too large.
It doesn't matter if you don't pay your salary, and you don't even pay social security to employees, it's really too much!
It's really infuriating that there is such a non-payment of employees' wages, and the inconsistency between the front and the back! Netizens who are also workers also started scolding!
Angry comments from netizens
Who is not having difficulty surviving in society? What's more, Li Yapeng himself is already richer in resources than other ordinary people because of his identity as a famous movie star.
Now it is outrageous to be in arrears of employees' wages for so many years because of the failure of their own company!
Some netizens directly exposed that he opened a restaurant during the epidemic and was busy with his work! The difficulties during the epidemic are obvious to all, and it is difficult for many existing stores to persist during that time, not to mention that Li Yapeng is going to reopen a restaurant, and the restaurants opened by celebrities are most likely not affordable for ordinary people.
Some people even expressed doubts about his employees, why did they continue to work with him when there was a situation of unpaid wages before?
This reason has also been revealed, because I have advanced funds in the company before, and I want to get the book back.
Who would have thought that after staying up with the principal he should have, and all the wages he earned from his part-time job, he would lose his wife and soldiers.
It's a bit outrageous to have your employees share the losses with you, to be honest.
Some netizens also commented that any antique in Li Yapeng's house is worth a lot of money! If this is the case, then Li Yapeng is pure greed, too much!
When he learned that Li Yapeng owed money and did not pay it back, when the former partner asked Li Yapeng for the salary he should have, perhaps because he was a friend, the former partner even persuaded the employee not to arbitrate labor for the time being.
Netizens also expressed their incomprehension, and bluntly said in the comment area: You are still pressed not to arbitrate, and you have a lot of good cakes.
As a result, the whistleblower responded directly: Yes, I want to give him face, I was wrong!
It seems that this former partner trusts Li Yapeng very much, but he is more unlucky to believe the wrong person, and finally has no choice but to break the news on the Internet.
Many netizens left messages in the comment area, asking him to pay back the money quickly!
Li Yapeng responded
When the ex-partner chose to expose the chat history between them, the news instantly became a trend.
Maybe it's because of the shouting of netizens and the pressure of public opinion. Today, Li Yapeng finally posted a response video on his social platform and apologized.
said in the video that Li Yapeng already knew what was popular. He said that he was indeed in arrears of wages to his employees, and he was trying his best to repay the employees' compensation.
He said that he did owe the whistleblower about 60,000 yuan in compensation, and he promised that he would solve the problem before he got off work today. also called on netizens to support the self-media account of the whistleblower.
Li Yapeng also said that they have been struggling, and now they have repaid nearly 90 percent of the employee compensation, and victory is in sight.
At the same time, he also apologized to the employees who had left the company.
One yard to one yard, although it responded, but netizens are not so easy to dismiss! The comments of netizens are still so sharp!
Many people said that Li Yapeng was a scheming old man, and specifically said that he was doing self-media after leaving his job, trying to change the topic.
also ridiculed his previous marriage to the famous singer Faye Wong, thinking that fortunately Faye Wong left him early.
There are also netizens' comments that are very sharp, and they directly scold angrily!
It's only right to repay debts! What's more, it's still the money owed to ordinary people, this kind of thing is very painful for anyone, and it is inevitable that netizens will be so angry.
epilogue
I have to say that Li Yapeng is really a good hand of cards! No matter how much celebrities cry poor, they are richer than ordinary people, and greed is not enough to swallow elephants!
As ordinary people, we must keep our eyes open when facing celebrities, and don't have preconceived filters for celebrities.
No matter how famous an actor is, he is also a person, and no one is perfect. Therefore, it is inevitable that similar things will happen to them due to the lack of moral awareness and the lack of legal awareness.
It is impossible for us to guess and imagine a person's character, so we need to clear the fog and see the truth.
Just like the famous artist Gao Yalin some time ago, the public looks at his character in real life based on the positive image in his film and television works, which is bound to overturn.
Finally, I also hope that Li Yapeng can return the salaries of the departing employees as soon as possible, after all, in this era, it is not easy to survive, don't torture us ordinary people.
At the same time, I also hope that celebrity artists can be worthy of the title they have, and there will be disasters if they are not worthy of virtue!
