Chapter 84 The power of love is so great
The secretary took too long to deliver the list, which made everyone feel a little strange. When he finally came out, he had a sad face, and the other people in the office looked at each other in confusion.
"What's the matter? Are you not satisfied with the list?"
Although Mr. Gu's office is soundproof, I can still hear a little bit of noise, but I can't hear any angry voice from Mr. Gu at all.
As Gu Xiucheng's direct team, they certainly knew the real purpose of Gu Xiucheng agreeing to the proposal of hiring a spokesperson.
In fact, it is to give Ning Mingluo a legitimate opportunity.
This was just the preliminary round of auditions; there was no way Ning Mingluo would be eliminated. After all, they couldn't think of anything else that could make the secretary look so devastated.
"You'll know for yourself when you see it."
I handed the list in my hand to others, and they all came over and understood what was going on after flipping through a few pages.
"Didn't they say he didn't meet the requirements and was rejected by Mr. Gu? How did he pass the audition? He even handed the list to Mr. Gu. Isn't that courting death?"
"Even if you want to die, don't take us with you."
Although Mr. Gu’s bad mood won’t affect everyone else, as assistants, they are under a lot of pressure.
Huangchao is different from any other brand or company. The makeup brand line is only a very small part of their business. The value created by this part every year is definitely among the best among beauty brands of the same level, but compared with other industries under Huangchao, it is estimated that it will not even be in the top five.
Therefore, they have no feelings for the artists in the circle and will not approach them with flattery and eager eyes.
As long as you are not suitable and do not meet the requirements, no matter how big a star you are, they will not pay any attention to you.
After all, there were some famous people who had extended olive branches before, but they were all ruthlessly rejected by President Gu. Of course, it is not certain whether those people wanted to be the spokesperson, or wanted to have a relationship with President Gu, or both.
And now this person who had been rejected by President Gu actually passed the audition. This is very telling. No wonder President Gu is angry.
"Maybe the audition staff didn't pay much attention. After all, Zhou Shiyi is quite well-known."
"Do you think it's possible?"
Although it was an open audition, they had to adhere to the rigorous work standards, and the lists had to be confirmed one by one by the supervisors. They would not allow a plan that had already been rejected by Mr. Gu to be put on Mr. Gu's desk again.
Now that something like this has happened, it can only be done intentionally by someone, or it can be said that they are trying to provoke Mr. Gu.
"So what is Mr. Gu's plan?"
"Boss Gu said to wait and see what happens, but judging by Boss Gu's methods, it looks like a major shakeup is going to happen over there."
For a subordinate who doesn't listen to his boss, is he going to cause trouble for himself? Mr. Gu is a person who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes and will never allow anyone to do this.
The management within the Dynasty, especially those involving senior management, has long been transformed into a mature system under the leadership of Gu Xiucheng. Important positions will basically not change much, but if President Gu really sees something he is not satisfied with, he will not hesitate to dig out the entire chain of relationships here.
Mr. Gu has had this habit since he first took office.
Previously, Mr. Gu's father was the president. When Mr. Gu took office, he had just reached adulthood and was studying while managing the company. Faced with such a young man who was just starting out, many senior executives of the company relied on their seniority and thought that Mr. Gu was not to be feared.
However, they didn't expect that on the first day of his appointment, Mr. Gu would eliminate all these people without hesitation, without giving them any face.
At that time, they had not been following Gu Xiucheng for very long, and were immediately frightened by Mr. Gu's swift and decisive methods.
Now that time has passed, this memory has gradually become distant. The company has been running smoothly recently, and President Gu has not used such harsh methods again. It seems that many people have gradually forgotten what kind of person President Gu is.
He has an extremely handsome appearance, but if the business world is compared to a battlefield, this man is definitely the Shura General who kills countless people.
The others present shuddered inexplicably.
Gu Xiucheng patiently kept his position and the auditions continued as normal.
But everyone in the president's office knew that President Gu was just thinking about how to punish these people.
Once the auditions are over, it will be time to settle accounts.
Although it was an open audition, there were actually not many people who passed, only thirty in total, which shows how strict the Dynasty's review was.
But no one dared to complain. After all, it was Dynasty, a top brand well-known both domestically and internationally. They were not happy to choose, as there were many people who wanted it.
Especially among the thirty people who passed, there are hot actors and actresses, popular young actors, and idols. They can be said to be the best in the entire circle.
It is enough to show the strength of the dynasty.
The final interview was divided into two days, and Ning Mingluo was in the morning session on the second day.
"Nervous?"
Although he has been to Dynasty so many times, today is a day that Luo Chen feels nervous. This spokesperson selection is no different from a recruitment interview. Luo Chen doesn't know how confident Ning Mingluo is.
Even though he knew that Gu Xiucheng was backing them up, Luo Chen understood that Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng were not the type of people who would make such a big fuss after already being chosen.
After all, doing so will affect Ningmingluo's reputation.
Looking at Ning Mingluo standing aside, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh again, the deeper the love, the more far-reaching the plan.
Gu Xiucheng knew that if Ning Mingluo was chosen directly, it might backfire. The public's doubts and the hostility of people in the industry would all become targets for Ning Mingluo to be attacked. However, if the choice was made public, everyone would feel that everyone had equal opportunities and that only famous people were qualified to get the endorsement.
Ning Mingluo is an artist from Shengshi, so it is natural that their own artists receive preferential treatment. Ning Mingluo has also become very well-known recently and has achieved some results, so it is not unreasonable that he can get the endorsement.
Mr. Gu has also put a lot of effort into it.
The on-site interviews were conducted in batches, so the interviews went very quickly and soon it was Ning Mingluo's turn.
"Go ahead, don't think too much, just do your best, come on." Luo Chen simply encouraged Ning Mingluo.
Not putting too much pressure on Ning Mingluo at this time is the best encouragement for Ning Mingluo.
Unlike Luo Chen's image of a smart and capable queen, Ning Mingluo felt more and more that Luo Chen was more like a gentle sister after spending a long time with her.
"I will try my best."
Ning Mingluo pushed open the door and saw a row of people sitting inside, all dressed in suits and ties. It looked quite oppressive.
They should all be the main responsible senior executives. After all, this interview is very important and they will not hand the role over to the lower-level people casually.
As soon as Ning Mingluo came in, the attention of several people was attracted by Ning Mingluo, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Although Ning Mingluo had been to Huangchao many times, he always went directly to Gu Xiucheng every time he showed up, and rarely moved around the company. So, except for Gu Xiucheng's secretary assistant, no one in the company had seen him in person, although they had heard of him.
In other words, almost no one knows the relationship between Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng.
The senior executives present had no way of knowing.
They only knew that Ning Mingluo was a new artist signed by Shengshi this year. He was not well-known in Xingqi before, but he became very successful after signing with Shengshi. It seemed that he had a close relationship with Tang Xiuwen.
Perhaps it was because she won the favor of Tang Xiuwen that she became popular again.
After all, Tang Xiuwen is a playboy, and it is almost impossible for him not to take action against such a beauty.
However, their business had no overlap with Tang Xiuwen's, so they were not very afraid of the young man.
The interview format was relatively simple. The supervisors took turns asking Ning Mingluo some questions. It didn't feel like an interview, but more like some casual chat. However, it could be seen from the chat that his image did not match the product positioning.
During the communication, Ning Mingluo spoke in a confident and generous manner, without any panic, without being overly arrogant or timid, and knew when to advance and retreat.
The interview ended quickly and Ning Mingluo said goodbye and left.
Looking at Ning Mingluo's back, many people had a hint of regret in their eyes.
Ning Mingluo has the aura of a secluded orchid in a valley. She just stands there, quietly, not blending in with the people around her. She is unique and charming.
His temperament is very consistent with the product positioning. If it weren't for Mr. Wang's advance greeting, they would really want to vote for this person.
But there is no way, this is a game of thrones. Without any background and only good looks as a bargaining chip, you are destined to become a victim.
“How was the interview?”
As soon as Ning Mingluo came out, Luo Chen and Qiao Xing hurried to meet him.
I don't know why the two of them felt like they were sending their children to take an exam.
Ning Mingluo smiled and said, "I think it's okay. It's just a simple chat. I think the main purpose is to observe whether the image matches or not."
Hearing Ning Mingluo say this, Luo Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Not to mention other things, but in terms of image, Ning Mingluo is undoubtedly in line with the brand positioning, otherwise Gu Xiucheng would not have spent so much time and effort on it.
Unlike the domineering name of Dynasty, the beauty brands under Dynasty are more like a snow lotus on the cliff of a snowy mountain.
Pure, elegant, tough and not worldly.
Ning Mingluo seems gentle, but the closer you get to him, the more you can feel his indifference and alienation. Only those who are truly accepted by him can push aside the layers of petals on the outside and touch the soft and sweet pistil inside.
No one is more suitable than Ning Mingluo.
"Okay, the interview is over. Don't think about it for now. Go home and have a rest." Luo Chen generously gave Ning Mingluo half a day off.
After the interview, the list of qualified candidates will be handed over to Gu Xiucheng, who will then make the final choice.
After all, this matter still depends on Gu Xiucheng.
Ning Mingluo did not ask Gu Xiucheng about this matter in advance, but they would know the result sooner or later, and the efficiency of the Dynasty has always been very high.
But what no one expected was that after waiting for a while, Huangchao still had not decided on a spokesperson.
Ning Mingluo, who worked with Gu Xiucheng day and night, noticed that Gu Xiucheng had been working overtime at the company for significantly longer periods of time recently and seemed much busier.
What happened in the company recently?
He asked Gu Xiucheng, but Gu Xiucheng always changed the subject, and Ning Mingluo felt more and more strange.
Ning Mingluo knew that he knew nothing about business matters. If he continued to ask Gu Xiucheng, it would probably only increase Gu Xiucheng's troubles. After thinking about it, he chose to ask another person.
"Why did you think of going back to the company today?" Ning Mingluo has been filming on the set these days. Luo Chen and the others are used to Ning Mingluo going directly to the set and going home after get off work, but today he suddenly wanted to go to the company, thinking that there was something that needed to be dealt with there.
"I have something I want to ask Mr. Tang."
"What happened?"
Luo Chen looked out the window, frowning slightly. "Gu Xiucheng has been leaving early and returning late lately. Something must have happened at the company. The endorsement deal hasn't been announced yet. This isn't their work efficiency. I'm a little worried."
"Then why don't you just ask Mr. Gu?"
Ning Mingluo sighed. "He always tells me good news but not bad news. Even if I ask him, he will only tell me some small things that happened. I don't understand these things, so I will definitely be fooled by him. But Mr. Tang is different. Mr. Tang doesn't seem to have so many tricks up his sleeve."
Luo Chen & Qiao Xing: ...Why don't you just say that Mr. Tang is stupid?
"I asked Mr. Tang in advance, he is in the company today."
"Okay, but do you need me to keep an eye on this matter for you?" Luo Chen is Ning Mingluo's agent. Helping her artist solve some troubles is also what she should do as an agent.
"If possible, Sister Chen, please keep an eye on it for me."
Luo Chen has naturally been paying attention to the spokesperson issue, but she hasn't received any definite news recently, so she hasn't been able to talk to Ning Mingluo about it before.
Now I can also give a little reminder: "It seems that there have been changes in the top management of the Dynasty recently, but there is no specific news yet."
"Changes at the top"
Luo Chen nodded: "It's just speculation. News about the dynasty is always difficult to obtain, especially changes among the top leaders. If the dust has not settled, almost no one can get specific information."
Ning Mingluo also understood Gu Xiucheng's methods.
"Okay, I understand."
Tang Xiuwen was still a little confused as to why Ning Mingluo wanted to look for him. He wondered in his heart if he had offended them recently.
Probably not. Although he likes to watch gossip, he has completely given up the idea of reading gossip since he was beaten up by Gu Xiucheng last time.
He still cherishes his life. After all, only with life can he continue to watch the show.
Tang Xiuwen's office
Ning Mingluo looked at the smiling man in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Mr. Tang, you are my boss, so there's no need to show such a... flattering expression."
Tang Xiuwen wasn't embarrassed at all, and smiled broadly, "You're different from other employees. You're the one who controls my life and death. How can I be so careless with you?"
Ning Mingluo: ...
So Gu Xiucheng chose you to be the president of this company because you are good at adapting to the situation and love gossip?
Ning Mingluo put these thoughts aside and said seriously, "I'm not going to beat around the bush with Mr. Tang. I have something I want to ask you."
"Ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
Ning Mingluo asked directly, "What's going on at the head office recently? Mr. Gu has been very busy lately, leaving early and returning late. This has never happened before. I'm a little worried about him."
Hearing this, Tang Xiuwen showed a surprised expression.
"Don't you know what happened? Didn't you also participate in the spokesperson selection? How could you not know?"
"Spokesperson selection? I participated, but I never got a demerit afterward, so I don't know what happened?"
Tang Xiuwen shuddered as he thought about the bloody situation at the head office over the past two days.
The reason why he has been behaving so well recently is actually because he has no idea whether this turmoil will affect him.
After all, it has been a long time since I have seen Gu Xiucheng like this, and it is still scary to see him again.
"Something went wrong during the spokesperson selection process. Someone bribed the judges. Boss Gu found out about this and is currently investigating. As a result, the senior management has undergone a complete overhaul, with no one spared."
"bribe?"
Ning Mingluo showed a surprised expression. Who would be so bold as to bribe the top leaders of the dynasty? Isn't this just seeking death?
"You know this person too."
He knew him? Ning Mingluo thought about it and realized that he had passed the audition, and there was only one person he knew.
"Zhou Shiyi?"
Tang Xiuwen nodded.
"How could he do such a thing?"
"You know, Dynasty has never hired a spokesperson. During the proposal meeting to select a spokesperson, someone suggested Zhou Shiyi as the spokesperson, but President Gu rejected it. However, Zhou Shiyi passed the audition and even the interview. When the list of candidates who passed the interview was handed to President Gu, he threw the documents to the ground, shocking everyone present."
At this point, Tang Xiuwen's serious expression suddenly changed: "Actually, I think another reason he's angry is because you didn't appear on the final list."
Ning Mingluo was a little surprised that he didn't pass the interview, because he could feel that the judges were very satisfied with him, so how could he not pass?
"You don't have to make that expression. There's something fishy about this interview. You don't need to take it too seriously."
"What's the meaning?"
"It is said that Zhou Shiyi colluded with one of the responsible persons and deliberately threatened the others not to approve your application. Gu Xiucheng has been busy investigating this matter recently."
"Hasn't this been thoroughly investigated? Why would there be a complete overhaul of the top management?"
"You don't understand. This kind of large group is basically interconnected. These senior executives are all connected. Moreover, the beauty industry is a highly profitable industry, not to mention the Dynasty beauty line. The percentage points they have secretly taken over over the years is not a small number. Mr. Gu didn't care before, but now that they are really investigating, none of these people can escape."
Ning Mingluo didn't expect that the selection of a spokesperson would involve so many things.
In fact, Tang Xiuwen still felt that Gu Xiucheng was venting his anger on Ning Mingluo.
The person he holds dear was deliberately rejected by these people. It would be strange for Gu Xiucheng, who has a protective personality, to let them go.
The power of love is really great.
