Yang Hao went upstairs with Chen Haiou.
Seeing the new boss, Wu Dehai was naturally very enthusiastic, even to the point of fawning, since his own livelihood was in the other’s hands after all.
Although he had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had amassed a number of contacts and resources, most people associated with him were interested in Maetian Entertainment.
There weren’t many who were there because of him as a person, and once he lost Maetian Entertainment, the halo around him would disappear too.
For a company of Maetian Entertainment’s size, there are only a handful in the industry, and it would be quite difficult for him to find a matching position again.
The other executives at Maetian Entertainment were astonished by Yang Hao’s age and looks.
First, they had not expected the new boss to be so young, and secondly, the young new boss had looks that could rival male movie stars.
If nobody knew he was the boss, everyone would believe if he said he was an actor in the entertainment industry.
Lu Chuanyu, who had come along to welcome the new boss, was dumbfounded!
Standing in the crowd, he stared straight at Yang Hao, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, but his face still bore an expression of shock and disbelief.
He had never dreamed that the new boss would be the same person he had offended!
Just the other day during the recording of “My Idol,” he had a confrontation with Yang Hao. At that time, he even said to his agent Fang Qin that it didn’t matter since he wasn’t the boss of his own company, what could he do to him!
Well, now!
He really became the boss of his own company!
Lu Chuanyu, with a sense of resignation, clenched his fists and quietly moved next to Fang Qin, whispering, “Sister Qin, he really became our company’s boss, what do we do now??”
Fang Qin, who had already reached an understanding with Liu Cui, shook her head gently, “I don’t know what to do either, I already warned you before, do you think I have a way to deal with this situation now?”
“I hope he’s a magnanimous boss!”
“Besides, after all, I can make money for the company!”
Lu Chuanyu gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that businessmen are profit-driven, he still had his uses.
Fang Qin was somewhat speechless, previously he was arrogant, did not heed advice, and now he hoped the other party would be magnanimous!
Forget it, he won’t be my artist anymore!
Liu Cui had just given Fang Qin a reassurance pill, saying that Xiao Yinqiu would be handed over to her and that she would also get a promotion.
From a personal career perspective, Fang Qin was among those who benefitted from the big changes in the company.
So, at this moment, she was quite relaxed, even feeling a bit of schadenfreude, unlike the other artists and middle and senior executives who were all in a state of anxiety.
Ye Tingting in the crowd pinched her friend Zhou Ziqing’s arm hard, excitedly saying, “Holy shit, our new boss is too handsome!”
“Ziqing, work hard and become the boss’s wife!”
Zhou Ziqing didn’t respond. She agreed the new boss was handsome, but as she had previously said in chats with Ye Tingting, a high-quality man like him would not be lacking women by his side. Even if she had the intention, it was not certain she would succeed.
“Ziqing, my happiness for the second half of my life depends on you!”
“If you become the boss’s wife, won’t I be able to strut around the company!”
“What’s that saying, when one man gets the Dao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven, too!”
“Tsk, tsk, I’m not a chicken!!”
“So you’re a dog??”
Zhou Ziqing teased her with a smile.
“Holy shit!!”
Ye Tingting couldn’t help but curse again, realizing she had dug herself into a pit.
“Anyway, work hard!”
“Then I can just lie down and relax!”
Ye Tingting continued to urge, “Plus, our boss is so handsome, you won’t be at a loss, right!”
“It’s not like you have to keep company with those old men and sleazy greasy men!”
Zhou Ziqing pursed her lips lightly. She considered her friend’s words as a joke; right now, what mattered most to her was whether the new boss would lift her from her frozen status, like Xiao Yinqiu.
As a singer, she was constantly yearning to return to the stage!
What kind of singer is one without a stage?
Elsewhere.
Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Yang Hao, with Wu Dehai accompanying, took a tour around the company.
As a music entertainment company, Maetian Entertainment boasted impressive hardware like recording studios, with many pieces of equipment considered the pinnacle in the domestic music industry.
However, Yang Hao didn’t understand these things, so he just took a cursory look around.
There was a sense of “Hmm, this is all my money, I might as well count it.”
After the tour of the company, Yang Hao also attended a high-level meeting and listened to the work reports of the senior executives.
Thanks to the time spent learning from Cai Meichen using the Study Card, Yang Hao, the hands-off manager, wasn’t completely ignorant anymore.
The current work reports from the people at Maetian Entertainment were more like routine accounts, form over substance, with hardly anything useful.
But Yang Hao didn’t interrupt them; instead, he “sized up” each of them while they gave their reports, getting a clear sense of their capabilities.
Yang Hao was very familiar with this process, and by the time everyone’s speaking was over, he had figured out what each of them was truly about.
Overall, the senior management level at Maetian Entertainment was pretty good, with only a few muddying the waters, and most of them were genuinely capable.
And Wu Dehai, the General Manager, also had an “A-level” business capacity. However, in a listed company like Maetian Entertainment, an “A-level” business capacity wasn’t really outstanding, as there were quite a few executives with “A-level” capabilities present.
Therefore, in the workplace, business ability is just one aspect, and there are many other factors that determine one’s position and rank.
Like opportunities, luck, choices, etc…
Just like when he took over Yiren Clothing, Yang Hao announced personnel assignments at the high-level meeting.
Liu Cui was appointed as the General Manager of the Artists Department.
Chen Haiou was appointed as the Deputy General Manager of the Human Resources Department and the General Manager of the Corporate Culture Department.
Ou had always been mingling in the Cultural Work Troupe, and after so many years in the system, she had a very good grasp of interpersonal relationships.
Of course, Yang Hao wasn’t expecting her to achieve great things in the Human Resources Department; her main role was to act as a “watchdog” over the officials.
In this way, Yang Hao had his own people in both the Artists Department and the Human Resources Department of the company.
For the high-level executives of Maetian Entertainment like Wu Dehai, Liu Cui and Chen Haiou were carrying the Emperor’s Sword, and they were keen to please them.
After the meeting, with Wu Dehai’s accompaniment, Yang Hao went to the office left behind by the previous chairman.
“Director Yang, do you think we should demolish this office and redecorate it?” Wu Dehai asked attentively.
“There’s no need to go through all that trouble!”
Yang Hao waved his hand dismissively. Although the office looked a bit dated, the decor was very luxurious, a shame to dismantle.
Moreover, Yang Hao probably wouldn’t come to the office more than a few times a month, so there really was no need to fuss.
And Wu Dehai was just trying to curry favor with the new boss by suggesting this, but Yang Hao didn’t want to give him the chance.
Seeing Yang Hao had no plans to redecorate the office, Wu Dehai changed his strategy and brought up official business, trying to leave a good impression on Yang Hao in the realm of work.
“Director Yang, there’s another matter that requires your decision,” he said.
“The Group has just acquired the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe, and someone needs to be responsible for the subsequent settlement work. Do you have someone in mind,” he asked?
“Or should I make the arrangements?”
Though Wu Dehai seemed to be inquiring about work-related matters, he was actually probing whether the new boss intended to replace him as the General Manager.
If there were no plans to replace him, then as General Manager, he should be responsible for the follow-up work of acquiring the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe or assign someone to handle it.
In any case, this significant task should go through his hands.
On the other hand, if Yang Hao intended to replace him, he wouldn’t involve him in such a large-scale and time-consuming project.
Therefore, after posing the question, he watched Yang Hao eagerly for a response.
To his surprise, Yang Hao just thought briefly and then turned to Chen Haiou, who was also in the office, and said with a smile, “Ou, you were originally from the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe, so I’ll leave this task to you!”
