"I wasn't asleep." Gu Yunzhen asked again, "What's wrong?"
Shangguan Wu frowned: "They are trainees from the company. Three of them left last night."
As she watched videos of talent shows trending on social media, the more she watched, the more her brows furrowed.
Of the three trainees eliminated from the company, one had a cold and couldn't hit the high notes, resulting in very low votes and placing fourth from the bottom, thus making the elimination list. The other two were from the dance group; they injured their legs and were unable to perform on stage. They are currently hospitalized and unable to participate in the later stages of the competition, so they had to withdraw from the competition with regret.
The Tomato program team posted their withdrawal from the competition on Weibo, and Tiansong Company's official Weibo account also reposted it.
But she knew nothing about it.
Shangguan Wu narrowed her eyes and immediately called Chu Jie.
After the call connected, Chu Jie's voice came through: "Boss, what can I do for you?"
Shangguan Wu said in a calm tone: "Three trainees, two withdrew from the competition, and one was eliminated. Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"
"Huh? Boss, you didn't know? I thought President Yu told you."
The "General Manager Yu" that Chu Jie mentioned was Yu Chuan, a management talent recommended to her by the old man.
Shangguan Wu took a deep breath, feeling like she was being sidelined.
She suppressed her anger and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Chu Jie on the other end of the phone also sensed something was wrong and quickly explained, "It's like this, based on the popularity and voting situation of the trainees in the company, four debut spots have already been taken up. Other companies put pressure on Tomato TV to exchange resources, and it was only last week that it was confirmed that our company has a maximum of three debut spots. This is already the best result that President Yu has managed to get."
Shangguan Wu countered, "So you offended certain companies, causing our trainees to get injured?"
"Sister Ying asked the two injured trainees, and they said they felt like they were pushed, but it was just a feeling, they had no evidence, so they didn't say anything."
"What are your plans to do?"
Just as she had guessed, Shangguan Wu became increasingly calm, but that didn't mean she wasn't angry. In her previous life, her second sister had also been harmed in a talent show, and she loathed such despicable behavior.
"President Yu's idea is to let those three trainees wait another year to participate in next year's talent show."
"Is there really no other way?"
“Boss, we could send them to other shows to appear, but that would be a waste of resources and wouldn’t align with their original intention of singing and dancing.”
Shangguan Wu understood.
Those three trainees only have two options: either wait another year or terminate their contracts and go to another company.
Shangguan Wu pressed his temples. Was there a third option?
