He's lost his job and also lost a parrot?
"My little niece..."
Chu Caijun had just opened his mouth when Liu Qing's fierce glare silenced him.
Seeing Shangguan Wu lead people into the conference room, Chu Caijun felt like he had been tricked. His face turned ashen as he walked toward the elevator, taking out his phone to call his sister, Chu Mingshu.
In the conference room.
Shangguan Wu sat at the head of the table and gestured to the five people who followed him in: "Please sit wherever you like."
"I am Shangguan Wu, the fourth child in my family, and your new boss."
After the five people were seated, she looked at them one by one and said with a smile, "Please tell me your profession and name."
"I am Kang Jie, the director of actor management."
"I am Qu Kuan, the Director of Entertainment Management."
"I am Song Hong-young, the stylist for artists."
"..."
After the five people finished their introductions.
Two words popped into Shangguan Wu's mind: Hiring!
The company's team doesn't have to be top-tier, but it should at least be able to function normally in her absence.
Do you know anything about the company's trainees?
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Kang Jie.
Kang Jie nodded: "I understand the basics. These trainees have to take acting classes every day. The acting teacher praised seven of them for their talent. I had previously reported this to the higher-ups, suggesting that they could be sent to film crews for training, but the higher-ups haven't provided any resources."
He's a long-time employee of Tiansong Entertainment. If it weren't for his affection for the company, he would have left long ago after those kinds of shady dealings.
Tiansong Entertainment had previously invested in and produced classic TV series, and cultivated two Best Actor and one Best Actress winners. However, they all terminated their contracts and left the company the month it was acquired.
Even so, many trainees still come here because of its reputation.
However, after Chu Caijun took over, he only thought about how to make money. He didn't care about the quality. As long as he paid, he would let the artists perform. He also ignored the artists' declining reputation. So, all the artists who could terminate their contracts left. In the end, only He Xiu was left, and he was treated as a cash cow.
Kang Jie and others didn't have much power; they could only do their assigned tasks and couldn't manage anything else, even if they wanted to.
Shangguan Wu looked at Kang Jie: "Give me the list. Also, give me a list of trainees with outstanding talent."
Is this a way to train new talent?
Kang Jie immediately replied excitedly, "Okay, boss."
The following meeting turned into a one-woman show by Shangguan Wu. Her thoughts were clear and her goals were well-defined, indicating that she had a serious plan for the company's future development.
Kang Jie felt that his decision was right!
The other four also had a different kind of ambition in their eyes.
After Shangguan Wu finished speaking, Du Wei handed her a glass of warm water.
She drank half a glass, her throat felt better, and looked at everyone: "If there are no problems, please get started."
Kang Jie and the others all said there was no problem.
Shangguan Wu then said to the only woman among the five, "Director Song, could you please go to the central hospital in the capital to visit He Xiu and tell him that the company is willing to renegotiate the contract with him, with a 30/70 split?"
Song Hongying asked in surprise, "30/70? 30%?"
"What are you thinking about, Company Three?"
He Xiu will become famous. Rather than waiting for him to become famous and terminate his contract with the company, we should try to keep him in the company.
Song Hongying was speechless.
The others also looked shocked.
They remembered that He Xiu's contract seemed to be for ten years, or 90/10.
Kang Jie asked, "Boss, what if he wants to terminate the contract?" At this rate, He Xiu would have enough to pay the penalty for breach of contract in one or two years.
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "That means you're incapable of keeping people here."
Kang Jie and others: ...
Shouldn't it be that the boss is incompetent at retaining employees?
Just then, Little Sunflower called out loudly.
[Beautiful woman, stunningly beautiful, adorable and charming]
My darling, my precious baby, my sweetheart.
The little sunflower sang incessantly, showing no sign of stopping.
Shangguan Wu's eyelids twitched. Would her husband like it if it was so noisy?
She tilted her head, looking deeply into the parrot's eyes, and said softly, "Little Sunflower, when I'm working, you have to be good and not disturb me."
Shangguan Wu's voice was like a mountain stream, gentle yet ethereal and clear. Especially her eyes, which seemed to have a gravitational pull, making those who saw them want to get closer and obey.
Kang Jie and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"Boss, when Little Sunflower cries like that, it means it wants someone to play with it. Why don't we put it outside..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Little Sunflower stopped calling out.
It stood motionless in the cage, looking adorably dazed.
Kang Jie and others: ...
This bird is actually a sucker for good looks?
Was it because they were too ugly that it ignored them before?
That's outrageous.
Shangguan Wu withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "I'd appreciate it if you could work hard this month to recruit suitable senior managers as soon as possible. As long as they are capable, we can offer them higher salaries. I won't be coming here every day from now on, but I hope you will strictly implement my decisions."
"Yes, boss."
Kang Jie and the others agreed verbally, but they were worried in their hearts. A one-man show in any place can never last long.
Shangguan Wu added, "Of course, if you have any different opinions, please feel free to speak them."
Whether she listens or not is another matter entirely.
But Kang Jie and the others' worries vanished with the wind.
The meeting ended after noon.
Shangguan Wu then asked, "Are there any restaurants nearby? Which one do you usually eat at? It's my treat today, let's go together."
