Tony overheard their conversation, snorted, and went back to his work.

As Ms. Kuang turned around with the clothes in her hand, Chen Bo grabbed the clothes rack in time and said, "If you need clothes, have your agent coordinate it. Don't cause trouble here; it's not good for you."

“Chen Bo, we’re all from the talent agency department. Give me, Lao Qiu, some face. Miss Kuang has an important gala tonight; I heard the Governor of Hong Kong will be there too. The organizers invited artists from our company to perform, and I went to great lengths to recommend Miss Kuang. Normally, I would have given way, but now…”

"Since you know tonight's performance is important, why didn't you arrange the costumes in advance? Why are you here trying to snatch them from me? Do you even know what brands these are?"

As Chen Bo was speaking, Xie Yingying took out her phone and called Wang Weibao. After a short while, Wang Weibao's voice came through the phone.

Xie Yingying said, "President Wang, our company has a business performance tonight. I'll go with President Xing. Let's change the performers at the last minute. I'll ask Manager Chen to find someone else."

Although the voice on the phone was inaudible, Xie Yingying spoke slightly louder.

She raised her hand, temporarily stopping the hairstylist Tony's work. Everyone looked at her, and Xie Yingying stood up, turning to Ms. Kuang and Manager Qiu, saying, "You don't need to go over tonight, and you don't need to fight me for the clothes. Please go back! Oh, Manager Chen, could you please find an artist to replace this one..."

He speaks very gently, but every word he utters carries a domineering air.

She's beautiful, but she can be ruthless when she gets going.

Miss Kuang threw the clothes in her hand on the ground and laughed angrily, "Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty! Do you believe I can make sure you don't leave the company today?"

"Let me formally introduce you. Xing Baohua's secretary is also the secretary of the chairman of this Columbia headquarters, and the secretary of the president on the 23rd and 24th floors. I also attended the party you mentioned tonight; it was the Governor of Hong Kong who invited Mr. Xing."

They say that if you're using someone else's name to carry a big banner, no one can argue with you. Even if it's the company's CEO, Mr. Wang, he'll have to be polite.

I didn't see the phone call with Mr. Wang just now. His tone sounded like he was discussing something, but was that really a discussion? It was practically an order.

After speaking, Xie Yingying sat down again and said to Tony, "Continue."

Tony didn't say anything, but his smile was radiant.

Bobo and her manager Hu Haixin, who were just watching the show from the sidelines, exchanged glances. Thankfully, they hadn't said anything, thankfully they hadn't taken sides, thankfully...

In short, we escaped a terrible ordeal.

Miss Kuang was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She looked at her agent, then at everyone else, and with a sob in her eyes, she ran out crying.

Agent Qiu pointed at Chen Bo's nose and tapped it, without uttering any harsh words, and then chased after him to find a solution.

A short while later, the manager of the artist department came over and called Chen Bo out.

The two arrived at the brokerage manager's office.

After closing the door, the two department heads said to Chen Bo, "Bo, you didn't do things properly today. You're trying to use someone else to suppress your own people! Why didn't you tell us beforehand? Do you know how difficult it was to poach Miss Kuang?"

The speaker was Zhong Yilin, the manager of the artist department, who pointed at Chen Bo's face.

"I didn't want to either! I didn't have time. I just treated that person like a hired model and dragged her to take pictures. She immediately called Boss Wang and gave me a good scolding. She even told me to be demoted by one level in HR, and I won't get any benefits this month. Who can I complain to?"

"Well, she was in a hurry, and I was busy coordinating various resources. I didn't have time to report this matter. I had just arrived with the fashion company people when Ms. Kuang started making a scene. Even if I wanted to sway her, I wouldn't dare to even consider it."

The manager of the talent agency department said to the manager of the artist department, "This matter is sudden. Since President Wang has spoken, let's find someone else. It doesn't matter who goes."

That's what they say, but after Haina Entertainment was transformed into a Columbia subsidiary, it expanded rapidly.

They poached those they could, and cultivated those they couldn't, managing to bring in many big names. However, the organizers of these charity galas offered limited funds, making it unsuitable for big names to appear.

Minor celebrities aren't suitable either, since they don't have much fame. They can only select those who are mediocre, but they're just lacking in that kind of person. They finally found a mediocre Ms. Kuang, but she offended the chief secretary.

This is a mess.

"President Wang said he's putting you in charge. Who do you think is suitable?" Zhong Yilin from the artist department asked.

"I saw Sister Bobo in the dressing room just now..."

"She doesn't have time either! She has a TV program to go on tonight."

"If the times don't conflict, let the company driver take a break," Chen Bo said.

Zhong Yilin snorted coldly: "Such a big company can't even produce an artist? Isn't that making us a laughing stock among our peers? Bobo won't do, let's find someone else."

"How about we send Elaine, whom we poached from Xingli, over there?" Chen Bo suggested tentatively.

Sandy Lam debuted a few years ago and managed to support a company solely through record sales.

Star Power Records was smaller than Huaxing Records back then. To get Elaine to come, their artist department and management department went to great lengths to persuade her.

This person is also a big name. We promised to provide them with excellent resources when we agreed to let them come, but something like a gala is a bit beneath their dignity.

Regardless of whether it's a gala gathering of the wealthy or something else, unless the organizer offers a high enough price or you have connections, these are all acceptable.

The price wasn't right, and there were no connections to influence the matter. Even if the Governor of Hong Kong asked, it would still require a higher-up's approval. The fact that there's been no word from them indicates that the matter is being handled in a mediocre manner.

They can only find mid-tier celebrities to participate.

“I’ll go talk to him. I just heard from Secretary Xie that President Xing is going over, which is also an opportunity for Miss Elaine.” Chen Bo finished speaking and looked at the two department heads.
