I've seen people get promoted and get salary increases after successfully joining a team.

I’ve never seen anyone successfully forming a team and then riding a rocket to the top!

The new CEO was exaggerating, wasn't he? He was so brazen, afraid that the people in the company didn't know what Xue Yi had done?

In the company, gossip spreads the fastest!

It was not even time to get off work yet, and almost every department knew that the new boss had reused Xue Yi.

People have mixed opinions about this, with most expressing envy, jealousy and hatred.

After all, they were used to feeling sorry for Xue Yi, and suddenly one day, Xue Yi became an important figure in the company. Many people could not accept such a change of identity.

I used to hope that Xue Yi would get better, but when he really made a comeback, I always had malicious speculations - did he use some dirty tricks?

Sympathy turned into jealousy, and his face became much uglier.

There are not many people who are truly happy for Xue Yi.

Wenwen is one of them.

She brought a thick pile of documents to Hu Tao, and with a mysterious look on her face, she tried her best to suppress a smile: "Sister Hu Tao, did you read the announcement this afternoon? Xue Yi has been selected as the spokesperson for several products this year?"

Walnut took the document for her: "Got it."

Wen Wen looked idealistic: "See! I knew that President Yue would come to save Xingyue!"

Walnut did not comment.

Wen Wen came over and asked in confusion: "Sister Hu, you don't look very happy?"

"No."

"That's not right." Wen Wen stretched out her voice, "You look very different from usual~ Sister Hu, isn't Yue Zong making these reforms just to catch up with the stars? Last time you said you envied the stars, why are you unhappy when it's Xing Yue's turn?"

Hu Tao gave her a meaningful look and said, "Do you really think our company is trying to catch up with the stars?"

Wen Wen was stunned: "No...what else?"

"Kid, you are so naive." Walnut gathered the documents in her hand, "Zhongxing used drug testing to root out the rot in the company, and then recruited new employees to dilute the original internal power to achieve what it is today."

"Xingyue is the same!" Wenwen counted on her fingers, listing the treasures. "When President Yue came, he kicked out President Feng and the other cancerous people from the company. Although there are large-scale layoffs now, I have observed carefully that all those laid off are old-timers, especially those in the planning department who are just occupying positions but not working! The layoffs are very satisfying!"

Hu Tao shook her head: "Didn't you notice that all the people who were fired were from President Feng's faction?"

"What's wrong with this?" Wen Wen didn't understand.

"Not all of Feng's faction are incompetent. There is a ten-year veteran in the technical department, Zhang Ting, who is also the deputy director of the marketing department. How many crisis marketing incidents has the company gone through, and she handled them all?"

"did you mean--"

"The monthly staffing was not based on ability, but was directly divided based on factional struggles. The company did lose a lot of veterans, but also a lot of technical backbones! This is a big problem for any company! I can't even imagine how the company will operate after these people leave..."

Hu Tao sighed as she spoke, "Logically speaking, I'm just a small employee. The leader has her reasons for making decisions, and my opinion is not important... But I'm always worried... Xingyue is just a tool for CEO Yue, CEO Zhou, CEO Ou, and even CEO Feng who has already been in, to invest and make money...

What they care about is how to use Xingyue to make more money! We, the small employees, work hard to contribute our own value, so that we can barely make a living! Company factions, power... Everyone is already very scared at work, afraid of being fired if they stand on the wrong team!

Until today, I once again deeply realized that... qualifications and work ability are not important... If you don’t stand in the right position, no matter who you are, you will be abandoned by the company..."

What Walnut said makes a lot of sense.

It is impossible for Yan Yueqing to inform each employee of the real reason why he unified the power of Xingyue, so the people below would naturally not know.

For Yan Yueqing, the most urgent thing for Xingyue to be torn apart is to expel all dissidents. As for the vacancies, that's too easy. Both Zhongxing and City C have their own newly trained talents who can be transferred to Xingyue.

If worst comes to worst, we can still transfer people from Jiang Jiajun's family!

However, the latter is really a waste of talent!

However, for the employees, they only saw the new boss frantically promoting Xue Yi and wiping out some capable other factions, which made them feel a little bit like "the lips and teeth are in danger".

Wen Wen was young and didn't quite understand Hu Tao's worries. She propped up her little head and said, "Sister Hu Tao, I don't think you are right. No matter how capable a person is, if he or she puts the company first but the CEO or shareholders, it doesn't mean that he or she will work hard for the company!

President Yue has just arrived in Xingyue. Wouldn't it be a nuisance to keep these people here? What if they are thinking about President Feng... secretly doing something bad to the company? President Yue is not incapable of recruiting new employees. As long as it is for the good of the company, I think... I think she did nothing wrong?"

Walnut's lips were pursed into a straight line. "Forget it. We don't agree on this, but there's nothing to get hung up on. Anyway... we're not on the layoff list yet."

Wen Wen suddenly became happy: "I knew that President Yue was the best! I wonder if I will have the opportunity to transfer to the assistant team in the future? I really want to witness Xue Yi become stronger with my own eyes~ He was so miserable before..."

Whatever was said afterwards, Hu Tao had already automatically filtered it out.

Wenwen is still young and doesn’t understand the purpose of Mr. Yue’s actions.

She was always worried...

I thought about it and shook my head...

Forget it, as long as I am not laid off, why worry about it? I am not the boss!

Having said that, I have comforted myself in my heart, but most people have the same idea as Hu Tao. They always feel that the next fire from their leader will burn them, and everyone is extremely nervous.

The other side.

Xue Yi finally plucked up the courage and dialed the number buried in the phone book.

It rang a few times.

A woman answered: "Hello, who are you?"

"I'm Xue Yi, Si Younian's...junior from the same school..." Xue Yi felt a little embarrassed.

The female voice chuckled, and it was unclear whether it was a mockery or something else: "Although I don't know how you knew about Younian's phone call, but he has a lot of junior students in the same school. If you are sensible, you shouldn't disturb him when he is the busiest. What do you think?"

"I——" Xue Yi's voice was a little hoarse.

"Sister Guan, Younian will be finished filming soon!" Another noisy shout came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I'll be right there." The other party said nothing more and hung up the phone.

Xue Yi clenched his phone tightly and lowered his eyelashes dejectedly.

The light from the hallway fell on him and he looked like he was about to break.

Si Younian walked out of the studio, and Guan Chun considerately handed him a bottle of water, with deep love in his eyes: "Younian, you must be tired? Drink some water and take a rest."

Si Younian took it, pinching the bottle with his slender fingers, his shiny fingertips turning slightly white.

He tilted his head back and took two sips of water.

The rhythm of the throat rolling, accompanied by the clear beads of sweat sliding down, made Guan Chun's heart surge.

She calmly pressed the paper towards Si Younian, and deliberately moved the paper in her hand towards herself so that he could move closer to her.

"Next is the DLRS endorsement shoot. I'll talk to the director here and ask you to go to DLRS to shoot two shots first. If they need to make any changes, come back to make up the shots in the evening."

They say they are going to make up the footage, but in fact they will never come back!

Considering Si Younian’s current status, the hoodie advertisement is simply a loss of face!

DLRS is a high-end luxury brand, and each diamond watch in it can be sold for millions, not to mention the celebrity groups it can attract, which is definitely a great help to Si Younian!

If it weren't for this sweatshirt contract, which he signed for five years when he first debuted, and breaking the contract would be criticized by fans, Guan Chun really wanted to throw it aside as soon as possible.

What grade?!

Do you dare to take advantage of her family's popularity?

Si Younian glanced at the schedule and frowned in confusion, "Sister Guan, there are only a few shots left for Feiyang Sweater. Why did you go to the far end and shoot DLRS first and then come back to shoot Feiyang?"

Guan Chun lowered his voice: "There is not enough time."

"How can it be too late?" Si Younian said honestly, "DLRS's time is 5pm, and it's only 3pm now. It will only take half an hour at most to get there. Even if we finish shooting and modifying the shots here, we will still have time."

"What do you know?" Guan Chun gave him a sly look. "The CEO of DLRS is coming to the site today. Should we go there early to make a good impression on him?"

"I arrived on time for the shoot and completed the contract content, which is enough to leave a good impression on the other party." Si Younian insisted, "Besides, running back and forth is tiring, so let's finish shooting here first."

Seeing that Si Younian was honest, Guan Chun gritted his teeth and told the truth: "I just watched it, and your filming is quite good! It was the director on Feiyang's side who was nitpicking that made you reshoot so many scenes!

Younian, what is your status now? What brand is Feiyang? A sweatshirt seller can't even squeeze into a third-tier fashion brand! When your first agent signed a five-year contract, how much time did you waste in vain?

Let’s not talk about the distant past. Just look at the two first-tier fashion brands I just negotiated for you. Who wouldn’t treat you like a spoiled brat? They were afraid that you would get tired and melted when you were shooting an ad. Only Feiyang didn’t take your status seriously at all!”

For the endorsement commercials next to it, two people would walk in and take close-up shots, and the rest would be filled in by stand-ins in various parts of the body. There was no need for the boss to reshoot the scenes over and over again.

Only Feiyang always sticks to his own attitude towards photography.

The director was even more infuriating. Every time Guan Chun had an opinion, he would say coldly, "Unless you take the initiative to terminate the contract, you have to follow my arrangements as long as you are here!"

Guan Chun was so angry!

I almost couldn't catch my breath!

But Si Younian seemed to be fine and cooperated very well!

What brand is Feiyang? And what is Si Younian's status? !

Don’t they hold Younian in high esteem?

What a thing!

With such a poor eye, it’s no wonder that you can’t make it big in the clothing industry!

Sister Guan held her breath and waited for the contract with Fei Yang to end so that she could mock them!

Who the hell dares to climb onto Si Younian’s head and show off?

She never took flying seriously in the first place, and now that she has climbed onto the DLRS path, why would she care about the filming here?

"Anyway, DLRS is more important! You pack up, I'll ask my assistant to talk to Feiyang's contact person and tell him that you're short on time and can come back to shoot in the evening."

As for the evening?

Reshoot?

It's impossible!

By then, if Feiyang makes up a story that Si Younian is sick, can he still come and ask for the person back?

Sister Guan is full of calculations!

Who knew, Si Younian frowned tightly.

He is good-looking, with a Taoist look that is rare in the entertainment industry. His moist deer eyes are free of any impurities, and he looks at everyone with a gentle and compassionate expression.

But at this moment, he suddenly stopped being amiable, and said in a tense tone, "Sister Guan, I don't want to run back and forth, so I'd better finish the filming here at Feiyang as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I go to DLRS, I will be absent-minded."

"Younian, you——"

Before Sister Guan finished her words, Si Younian's phone rang again.

When Sister Guan saw that it was the number she had just called, she hung up immediately: "It's a harassing call."

Si Younian did not suspect anything and turned around and went back to the studio in silence.

Feiyang's director knew Guan Chun's idea long ago, and deliberately took his time, trying to cure her of her bad habit of looking down on others.

I never thought that Si Younian would be very cooperative? He actually turned around and came back?

His face smiled a little more and his hands moved faster.

The shoot went quite smoothly. The director did not ask Si Younian to reshoot other scenes. Before leaving, he patted him on the shoulder meaningfully and said, "Mr. Si, I have seen many artists in the entertainment industry, but there are very few who are as dedicated to their work as you are! If you can listen to my advice, change your agent as soon as possible! She... will cause you big trouble sooner or later."

Si Younian frowned and did not respond: "Thank you, Director Qin."

Director Qin knew that he valued relationships, and that his agent was not something that could be changed just like that.

Anyway, the reminder here is enough! He can figure out the rest of the way by himself.

Guan Chun was outside the studio and couldn't hear what they said, but when he saw Si Younian walking out with a stern look on his face, he guessed that the director didn't say anything nice, so he stared inside angrily.

Director Qin turned around silently, leaving behind a chic back.

Si Younian, what a great talent!

Unfortunately, Xiangtian can't protect such a simple artist...

If no powerful person had intervened, once he became more dazzling, he would have been plucked away by dirty black hands like other shining stars!

The shoot to DLRS did not go too smoothly.

The originally scheduled two-hour shoot was over, but after that, Guan Chun first spent half an hour getting close to the CEO.

The other party held great power and looked at people in an extremely strange way, which made Si Younian feel a little creepy.

Especially when shooting the diamond watch, the CEO asked someone to bring him a low-cut suit, and didn't even give him a shirt, and asked him to change into it.

Si Younian had been in the entertainment industry for many years, so how could he not understand what the other party meant? He immediately turned hostile and left.

Guan Chun quickly nodded and bowed to apologize to the CEO.

As soon as she got in the car, she immediately got angry and said, "Si Younian, what's wrong with you? The CEO of DLRS, what a noble person? You can't even meet him if you want to! He specially took time out to watch you shoot today, and you gave him a cold shoulder?" (End of this chapter)
