“Ah?”
“What’s the situation?”
Cao Zhiyang was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape, looking at Yang Hao with disbelief.
It wasn’t just him, Wu Dehai, Chen Yan, and Song Xuejiao beside him were all stunned as well.
The three of them had not expected Yang Hao to handle the situation in this way.
Terminate the collaboration and directly expel Cao Zhiyang.
In other words, Jiaoyang Entertainment would no longer have the possibility of collaborating with Maetian Entertainment.
Moreover, Yang Hao also planned to reward the person who ended the partnership between the two sides.
This particular point made Chen Yan’s eyes light up. In fact, nobody had explicitly stated that collaborating with Jiaoyang Entertainment was not allowed; he had merely made such a judgment based on Song Xuejiao’s identity and position.
So, if one really had to pinpoint who proposed terminating the collaboration, it was naturally Chen Yan.
He had been worried about how to secure his position within the company and not be affected by the recent tumult among the company’s senior management, and as it turned out, he had picked the right side by mistake.
Wu Dehai, at this moment, was thinking that this new Director Song must indeed be the boss’s confidant, otherwise, she could not have dealt with the affair so decisively.
“CEO Cao, Director Yang here has work to attend to, please come with me,” Wu Dehai said, having tapped Cao Zhiyang on the shoulder, someone naturally had to step forward to “see the guest out” under such circumstances.
Wu Dehai, eager to perform, took on such a role.
“This, I…”
Regaining his senses, Cao Zhiyang opened his mouth but didn’t know how to defend himself.
It had been made clear; there would no longer be any collaboration with Jiaoyang Entertainment.
It was also said that gratitude was owed to the person who made this decision.
Cao Zhiyang looked again at Yang Hao and his ex-wife Song Xuejiao, suddenly feeling that the two must really be involved, otherwise, why would the owner of Maetian Entertainment protect Song Xuejiao so much?
However, whatever relationship the two of them actually had was something he had no way of verifying now.
Seeing that Cao Zhiyang still hadn’t moved, Wu Dehai pushed and pulled him out of the chairman’s office.
“Director Wu, do you think there is any room for maneuver in this matter?”
“I don’t know how to contact your Director Yang either!”
Once out of the office, Cao Zhiyang finally snapped back to reality, his face gloomy as he spoke to Wu Dehai.
If they lost such an important partner like Maetian Entertainment, Jiaoyang Entertainment’s situation would immediately become very difficult, and they might even face the risk of closing down.
“I met our new boss for only the second time today; how would I know what he’s thinking?” Wu Dehai shook his head and then pointed to the elevator, “CEO Cao should leave for now, as for the matter of continued collaboration, I think CEO Cao should discuss it with Director Song.”
After speaking, Wu Dehai made a signal to Secretary Liu Yuanyuan, who had already stood up from her workstation: “Secretary Liu, please show CEO Cao out!”
“CEO Cao, this way please.”
Liu Yuanyuan was the “Chief Secretary” of the secretarial department, experienced in her work, she had already sensed something from the starkly different expressions of Wu Dehai and Cao Zhiyang.
Thus, following Wu Dehai’s instruction to show the guest out, she politely but assertively led Cao Zhiyang towards the elevator.
During the elevator ride downstairs, Cao Zhiyang was completely dazed; he had been received by the new boss of Maetian Entertainment and had thought he would receive good news. Continue your journey at My Virtual Library Empire
Instead, he was unilaterally “blacklisted” by Maetian Entertainment.
While it was only a termination of collaboration, its influence once spread in the industry could not be underestimated; any company with deep cooperation with Maetian Entertainment would become cautious when negotiating with Jiaoyang Entertainment.
In other words, the future path of Jiaoyang Entertainment would truly become narrower.
“CEO Cao, was the collaboration a success?”
“Since Maetian Entertainment’s boss personally received our CEO Cao, it must have been a success!”
The two company executives who had come to Maetian Entertainment with Cao Zhiyang were waiting in the first-floor lobby, and as soon as they saw Cao Zhiyang exit the elevator, they immediately approached him with eager faces.
However, they quickly noticed that their boss’s expression was off, and the two who had wanted to say more immediately kept silent.
Having been in the business world for many years, they made their judgments upon seeing Cao Zhiyang’s grim expression—the collaboration must have failed!
Chairman’s office.
Yang Hao looked at Chen Yan: “Was the decision to terminate the collaboration yours?”
Suddenly put in the spotlight, Chen Yan immediately put on a surprised and honored demeanor, stood up from where he had been sitting on the sofa, and answered, “Director Yang, such a decision is not something I would dare to make, nor do I have the authority.”
“However, considering Cao Zhiyang’s relationship with Director Song, I first put the collaboration on hold and planned to re-submit it for review.”
“Of course, the choice to put it on hold was also because I felt that Cao Zhiyang’s character was questionable during the socializing yesterday evening.”
“I believe that when it comes to collaboration, the character of the other company’s boss is also very important.”
Chen Yan certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance to show his merits in front of the new boss, and his answer covered all bases.
Firstly, he considered Song Xuejiao, who was clearly a protege of Yang Hao, as Yang had already indicated a close relationship with her, so naturally, there was no problem in aligning his thoughts with the boss’s by listing Song Xuejiao as one of the reasons.
Secondly, he has highlighted his own judgment, creating a positive image for himself, while drawing a clear line between himself and people like Cao Zhiyang who lacked integrity.
“Hmm, you did well on this matter.”
Yang Hao nodded in approval. He had already used the “Fiery Eyes” skill on Chen Yan.
The System gave an evaluation of “AB”, suggesting Chen Yan was someone with ability and quite ambitious, likely to switch companies if a better opportunity arose.
