Maetian Entertainment?
That sounds familiar!
Isn’t that Fang Qin’s company?
That means it’s Lu Chuanyu’s company as well!
Not bad!
“System” understands me!
Yang Hao’s face broke into a smile as he checked out the latest news about Maetian Entertainment on his phone.
The current market value of Maetian Entertainment is 6.5 billion, with main businesses in artist management, music production, and record distribution. It has many well-known singers under its banner, making it one of the largest music companies in the country.
And Maetian Entertainment complements Tianmei Media perfectly in terms of business. The former focuses on the music industry, while the latter focuses on the film and television industry.
Now that Yang Hao had become the boss of both companies, the integration of resources would give birth to a behemoth in the entertainment industry, and Yang Hao himself would become a true kingmaker behind the scenes.
However, Maetian Entertainment was registered in Hucheng, and its offices were also located there. So, Yang Hao would need to visit Hucheng soon. After all, it was a 6.5 billion enterprise, and he had to make a personal appearance.
On the other hand,
Fang Qin was communicating with Zhang Xuedong, the vice president in charge of the Artists Department.
“Lu Chuanyu has really lost his damn mind!”
“Although our company doesn’t have much business interaction with Tianmei Media, does he really think he can afford to offend someone at the boss’s level over there?”
“Has he lost his mind playing Plants vs. Zombies? Did the zombies eat his brain or what!”
On the phone, Zhang Xuedong cursed and swore to himself. Let alone Lu Chuanyu, even he wouldn’t dare to offend that person from Tianmei Media. Zhang Xuedong might be a vice president, but at the end of the day, he was just an employee. The other party was the boss of Tianmei Media, a true big shot in the entertainment industry!
While he and Fang Qin were ranting, the secretary hurried into his office, so flustered that she even forgot to knock on the door.
“Mr. Zhang, there’s big trouble!”
“I heard the boss sold the company, and there’s a high-level meeting in half an hour!”
The secretary had even ignored Zhang Xuedong’s ongoing call to blurt out the heavy news she had just heard.
“What?”
“The company’s sold??”
Zhang Xuedong was stupefied; there had been no sign of this coming!
The company was doing fine operation-wise, so why would the boss suddenly sell it?
“Where did you hear this news?”
“It’s coming from the president’s office, so it should be accurate!”
“This…”
Zhang Xuedong looked incredulous and, after a moment’s stupefaction, hurriedly said to Fang Qin on the other end of the phone, “Did you hear that? There might be big trouble here at the company, I gotta go!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
On the other end, Fang Qin was stunned; she had intended to discuss with Zhang Xuedong how to smooth things over with Yang Hao, perhaps get Lu Chuanyu to apologize or something to move past this.
Instead, she was shocked to learn such astonishing news!
The company was sold!
Which meant a new boss was coming for the company!
As the saying goes, “A new king brings his court.”
If the company did get a new boss, the management was likely to go through a major shake-up, her network within the company would be thoroughly broken, and even she might have to leave the company.
Therefore, this matter was also vital to her own future!
However, relatively speaking, her chances of leaving weren’t that high, unlike those executives who would feel more at risk because, after all, she was one of the workers at the lower levels.
But for Fang Qin, this was also a rare opportunity. If she could get on good terms with the new boss, or make a good impression, perhaps she could end up being heavily relied upon.
In the existing company structure, the positions of power were almost fixed, making it quite difficult to climb up. The arrival of a new boss would definitely disrupt the current system, and that’s when the opportunities would arise!
So, for Fang Qin, the arrival of a new boss came with both opportunities and challenges.
“Sister Qin, what did Mr. Zhang say?”
Back in the lounge, Lu Chuanyu immediately asked upon her return. After Yang Hao and Fang Qin had left in quick succession, he too had calmed down and thought things through seriously, becoming increasingly apprehensive.
He had been infatuated, underestimating the influence of Yang Hao, the heavyweight in the entertainment industry.
“Our conversation about your issue was cut in half because something big happened at the company, they said it’s been sold!”
“What?”
“The company’s been sold?”
“Why would it be sold just like that!”
Lu Chuanyu also looked utterly incredulous. Maetian Entertainment had been doing well for the past two years, with established singers maintaining their status, and several newcomers performing well.
There were also two young talents like Lu Chuanyu, who were very competitive in the idol star track.
Overall, Maetian Entertainment was a music company with no clear weaknesses, and it didn’t seem like it should be sold!
“The authenticity of the news isn’t yet confirmed!”
“But judging by the conversation with Mr. Zhang, it’s very likely true!”
Fang Qin, while stroking her chin, seriously considered how she should respond to this new turn of events.
Lounge No. 3.
The coffee table was laden with a lavish spread of food, ordered by Yang Hao from a private kitchen restaurant that had just delivered.
The two had agreed to have a meal together, and since Li Manni was working, the dining location could only be at the television station.
Though not the ideal dining environment, they still managed to have the restaurant’s delicacies brought over.
Yang Hao had ordered plenty of dishes, far too much for two people, so he also invited his assistant, Wang Jia, to join in.
The assistant, inadvertently made a third wheel, was tactful enough to reduce her presence, focusing on eating without speaking.
Meanwhile, Yang Hao and Li Manni, who had just made clear the last ambiguity in their relationship, had plenty to talk about.
