Chapter 64
"Rather than experiencing this technology, I hope we can master it."
Chu Muchao flipped through the documents in his hand.
“MZ Group mainly covers mid-to-high-end products. Its clothing, jewelry and bags are already at the top luxury level, and its beauty and skin care products also rank very high in the industry, but it lacks technology products. Every year there are new products that can cover daily use, but the lack of innovation is not enough to affect the market.”
【so? 】
Chu Muchao: "To influence the market, we need to improve our innovation and creativity capabilities. We need to think about feasibility and conduct research and development before people have a big demand for it or even before they think of it."
"So I think we can expand the scale of the technology sector."
“But…” Chu Muchao frowned, “Looking at past records, we’ve been recruiting every year. MZ Group’s reputation should be pretty good, but we haven’t actually hired many people. There aren’t many applicants.”
Yes, that's right.
The system's voice abruptly stopped.
Chu Muchao: ?
[Miss Mu Mu, you're trending again.]
Immediately, a screenshot of a trending topic appeared on the semi-transparent panel.
[This is a screenshot I took in real time.]
"Me...me meeting a female singer at night?"
Chu Muchao was completely baffled. "Why would I meet a female singer at night?"
[Miss Mu Mu, have you forgotten what happened at the club?]
Oh dear, she really forgot.
My mind was filled with thoughts of how such a large corporation could achieve what Zhai Jinwu had accomplished.
[Yes, seeing how focused Miss Mu Mu was on her thinking, I didn't have the heart to disturb you when you first became a trending topic.]
Chu Muchao: ...That doesn't sound very nice.
【^-^】
However, Miss Mu Mu truly surprised me. I thought your attention was still focused on their actions; after all, you possess an innate sense of justice.
Chu Muchao: Yes, I've thought about it, so I'll help that girl. As for the others, I can't control them. For them, it's a mutually agreeable transaction, and meddling would be cutting off their livelihood.
【^-^Is that so?】
I saw them exchanging resources and engaging in back-and-forth conversations to promote their own people.
She figured it out.
It's okay to help someone in need, but meddling in other people's business is not allowed.
Instead of this, we should expand the scale.
This would allow her and the MZ Group to become the dominant force in the industry, rather than a force to be reckoned with through exchanges.
If you stand in a high enough place, you will naturally be less surrounded by filth.
The reason why Luo Nansheng and Su Qian tried to achieve their goal by sending someone away was simply because she wasn't standing high enough, making them think that she was a stepping stone that could be climbed as long as she was given a ladder.
Rather than being unattainable.
【(Charging forward.jpg)】
Chu Muchao: ...Thank you for sending me an emoji right after reading my heart.
You're welcome.
We can't ignore trending topics.
She has just taken office, and any news, good or bad, has a huge impact.
Chu Muchao opened Chu Wen's chat window.
Just as I was about to type, the other party sent me a photo.
It's a group photo from a club gathering, taken from the side, capturing almost everyone in the VIP reception room.
This also includes her and Chu Wen.
Chu Wen: Take it for public relations.
Chao: Brother is so amazing! I love you the most!
Chu Wen: Hmm.
【^-^ Miss Mu Mu's brother arrived just in time.】
Chu Muchao: Yes~
Chu Muchao then forwarded the message to Xiao He.
After giving a few instructions and sending the message, he realized what he had done and tilted his head.
The system is being sarcastic again.
-
MZ Group's public relations efforts were very swift.
The topic was stopped before it could gain any traction.
But soon, one topic after another about the female singer was exposed.
#XinQingHitsAgainstAFemaleCEO,EngagingWithBothMen##XinQingWorkedAssuringGroomBeforeDebuting##XinQingBecameAHomewrecker##XinQingBullyingAtSchools#
The topic gained traction extremely quickly, with its popularity soaring dramatically.
Looking at the comments under these topics, they are all the same, clearly indicating that someone has deliberately paid for articles to smear them.
However, Xin Qing's agency saw this but did not take any action.
Xin Qing couldn't sleep all night after leaving the club.
Upon seeing the negative information about himself, he immediately contacted his agent and company for help.
But the agent said, "What's the use of you coming to me? I asked you to have a couple of drinks with Brother Wu, and not only did you not do a good job, you also offended Brother Wu! You're really useless!"
Xin Qing was stunned for a while before explaining, "No, I drank a lot with him. It was him who later wanted to... wanted to touch me, and wanted me to sleep with him, so I..."
"So what? Brother Wu likes you. If you don't seize the opportunity to cling to his coattails and climb the social ladder, you'll embarrass him!" the manager scolded. "Xin Qing, what are you thinking? You have no background, no connections. If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, don't you have any idea how you're going to do it?"
"But I..."
Her manager interrupted her sharply: "What? You have singing skills? Let me tell you, the entertainment industry isn't short of beautiful and talented people! What they want is power, money, and status! If you have any one of these, even if you're ugly, the company will give you plastic surgery; if you're not talented, the company will find you a sound engineer, understand?"
Xin Qing felt even more aggrieved, her gentle voice trembling with tears: "But when the company signed me, they promised..."
"In short, the company can't help you this time, and we won't waste any more resources on you. You'd better figure it out yourself."
There was no further news from Xin Qing.
Only occasional, suppressed sobs could be heard.
The agent sighed, "There's really nothing we can do about this. You've offended someone yourself. The company can't risk the entire company just to protect one minor singer."
"..."
"Sigh," the agent said, "either you go have a good talk with Brother Wu and beg him to let you go, or you'd better pray for yourself."
-
Chu Muchao also saw Xin Qing's dirty secrets.
Her trending topic had just been removed when several of Xin Qing's controversial topics suddenly became trending topics, making it hard to miss them.
Zhai Jinwu is really petty.
Not daring to confront her directly, they targeted that other girl instead.
But Chu Muchao only read through the trending topics and got a general idea of what was going on.
I didn't do anything, just locked my phone screen.
I thought Miss Mu Mu would help her, but I was wrong.
Chu Muchao: It's not easy to help. I don't know her or am not familiar with her. She has a company and a team, and I don't know if this information is true or false.
【^-^ Yes, that's right.】
Chu Muchao: If we're friends, it's fine to spend some time and effort to investigate, but right now I'm more interested in expanding and improving as quickly as possible. I only had a vague idea before, but now it's clearer.
Monopolizing the market is illegal.
Chu Muchao: ...You seem to be too confident in my abilities?
Chu Muchao: I will not monopolize the market; I just want to expand the scale and recruit more capable people.
[Hmm, have you figured out what to do?]
Chu Muchao: We can offer generous salaries and benefits in exchange, promising to provide the best platform and support for their creative research and development. We'll clearly state these in the job posting, and then... have HR come up with even better benefits and advertise them directly on the job website to attract attention.
[Yes, being humble and sincere definitely makes one more attractive. But, Miss Mu, have you considered expanding the business?]
Chu Muchao: Hmm? What happened next?
[You've recruited people and expanded the scale. But what if their desired conditions cross your bottom line?]
Chu Muchao: ?
For example, if you're unhappy about something lately, and you want a better outcome, you'll have to compromise your principles. Will you choose to uphold your principles, or lower them to achieve a better, more significant result?
Yes, this is a very serious issue.
【^-^ It was just a casual question, Miss Mu Mu, please don't take it to heart.】
Chu Muchao: No, I feel like you're more like an examiner of my moral character, testing me. But I think I won't change my bottom line in the near future, and I hope to always adhere to it in the future.
[So, this is just a hypothetical scenario. If you choose not to cross their bottom line and not meet their demands, they will take the research they've done here and jump to a place where they can have their needs met. What would you do then?]
Chu Muchao: ...Uh, does that count as betrayal?
In the world of fame and fortune, there are only shared interests, no feelings.
Chu Muchao: Uh... If I sense in the early stages that they have low moral standards and are dishonest, then no matter how creative or capable they are, I won't hire them.
[Those who achieve too much in a short period of time without initially revealing their abilities may become arrogant and may not be able to restrain themselves.]
Chu Muchao: It's too late to find out later. If it's an illegal contract, then we'll deal with it according to the law. But if someone tries to exploit a loophole in the contract… ah, I still think that as long as the conditions I offer are good enough, no one will switch jobs. Switching jobs means feeling unfairly treated here, that the pay isn't good enough, while another place can offer better pay. If the conditions I offer are good enough, there shouldn't be anyone like that, right?
You can't expect to play the emotional card with people in the world of fame and fortune.
The female lead was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
I don't know how to respond.
Before the incident occurred, she couldn't think of any other solutions.
【^-^ Sorry, Ms. Mu Mu. Perhaps you won't encounter someone like that; I'm just stating the worst-case scenario.】
Chu Muchao: Oh.
[(Appeasing.jpg) Miss Mu Mu, please don't frown anymore.]
Chu Muchao: I didn't.
Wow, you look so fierce! The system is scared.
Chu Muchao: ...Hmph.
She's not angry at all.
Rather than being angry, she now wanted to get things done quickly.
Do it first, then think about it!
Chu Muchao called Xiao He and Wu Mi in.
"Based on the new positions and selling points I mentioned, have them draft a new recruitment advertisement, and make sure the group's official website is also beautifully designed."
Xiao He: "Okay, Mr. Chu."
"Also, I've noticed that the group doesn't seem to have much involvement in the entertainment industry?" Chu Muchao asked.
Wu Mi replied, "Yes, we acquired an entertainment company three years ago, but the investment was not large. Later, the related issues became quite complicated, so we put it aside."
Chu Muchao nodded: "Okay, give me a summary of that company's situation. And then... I want to invest in a job-seeking and entrepreneurship variety show. My idea is to launch a global recruitment drive simultaneously when the show airs to increase publicity."
Wu Mi was slightly stunned for a second.
Immediately, both of their eyes lit up.
"Yes, Mr. Chu."
