Assistant Guan was stunned for a moment, then immediately summoned Vice President Shang Liu, who had given him the files, to Yin Chengjue's office. He then investigated the people Yin Chengjue had selected and, sure enough, found some stains that could not be washed away.
So he took the materials on these tainted celebrities to Yin Chengjue's office, knocked on the door, and placed the thicker stack of materials on the tainted celebrities in front of Shang Liu.
Initially, Shang Liu asked him to give these artist files to Yin Chengjue.
Yin Chengjue was a newly appointed official, and his position was also influenced by nepotism, so many people in the company were not very respectful of him. Moreover, Yin Chengjue, who was new to the job, was not very good at managing things, so Shang Liu was in charge most of the time. Only when necessary would he bring the documents to Yin Chengjue for signature, treating Yin Chengjue as a human signing machine.
At first, Assistant Guan would help Yin Chengjue review the documents, but as the number of documents increased, he became overwhelmed and occasionally missed some.
Just like today, Assistant Guan simply saw that the terms of those artists' contracts were in order, and then sent them to Yin Chengjue.
Fortunately, Yin Chengjue himself realized that these artists had character flaws and indelible stains on their reputations. If they were signed rashly, the company would not only fail to make any profit, but would also suffer reputational damage.
At that time, the higher-ups will only blame Yin Chengjue for his poor performance and inability to handle the position, while Vice President Shang will not be greatly affected.
After all, before Yin Chengjue was parachuted in, this Vice President Shang had managed Huansheng very well.
Was it intentional?
Assistant Guan looked at Shang Liu, who was sitting opposite Yin Chengjue.
However, before Shang Liu could speak, Yin Chengjue spoke first: "I know, Vice President Shang didn't do it on purpose, he just overlooked it. After all, he has many people under his jurisdiction, and there are always some with selfish motives." It's just a few tainted artists' contracts, it's not enough to make him enemies with Shang Liu.
Shang Liu was clearly aware of this, so he seized the opportunity and said, "It's wonderful that President Yin understands. I will definitely keep a close eye on those guys with impure intentions when I get back this time."
"That's your business, Liuliu. Actually, there's another important matter I called you here for today." Yin Chengjue clasped his hands together, resting his chin on them.
“Liu…Liu?” Shang Liu’s lips twitched.
“I recently saw a show with a lot of newcomers, and some of them don’t even have a company yet. If they’re suitable, I’d like to sign a few.” Yin Chengjue took out his phone, found the official Weibo account of “Little Brother, Debut”, and placed it in front of Shang Liu.
Shang Liu waved his hand dismissively: "I've watched a lot of talent shows. There's a lot of hype in them, and most of them are signed with companies before they go on. Those who aren't signed with companies don't have enough money, so their screen time is cut again and again. Viewers can't remember their names, so naturally they won't vote for them. Even if they're very talented, the audience won't see them. So in the end, the artists who debut are definitely those who have companies backing them and public relations support."
Shang Liu looked at Yin Chengjue with eyes that seemed to say, "You're still too green." He said leisurely, "Contestants without a company backing them up will be eliminated early on. No matter how strong they are, they won't become famous. Signing them won't help. If you want to sign someone with a company, you'll have to pay them a penalty for breach of contract. But most of those people got there by rigging votes. Their skills are too inflated and they're not worth the penalty. In this era where new stars are as numerous as hairs on a cow, they'll be eliminated in a year or two."
Yin Chengjue flipped to a picture and performance video of one of the trainees and placed it in front of Shang Liu: "I want to sign this person; he doesn't have a company."
Shang Liu's initially dismissive expression froze upon seeing the picture. "This... a face like that, and she's not signed with a company?"
Yin Chengjue laughed and said, "I checked. He doesn't have a group or a company. He's all alone. With his looks, even if he doesn't get many shots, or even if the shot is just a fleeting glimpse, he's still eye-catching enough."
