Chapter 293: A switch.
Hearing Ye Bai call Luo Chen "my artist" right on his face with such arrogance, Zhou Wen Bin boiled in anger.
No one dared to oppose him in Dazzling all this time, so how could a little brat like this step over him and disrespect him like this? Because of that, he called Chairman Chu on the spot and even turned on his video.
Zhou Wen Bin was the top manager at Dazzling Media; 90% of Dazzling's revenue came from artists under him—only Gong Xu was enough to secure his position, so his words must have been influential at headquarters.
He was a veteran at the company while this clown was just a young manager who had just entered. It was not difficult to guess which side Chu Hong Guang would stand on.
The glimmer of hope that had just lit up in Luo Chen was once again extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
"Hello, chief Chu!"
"Have you met Ye Bai? Have you completed the handover?" In a video call, chairman Chu sat in a large mahogany chair in his office.
Zhou Wen Bin looked coldly at Ye Bai and said, "He is here now and I will raise the matter!"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chairman Chu naturally noticed Ye Bai in the video call as well.
"Chairman Chu, I reviewed the handover documents and the artist he chose was someone below me. He's been with me for three years and our contract is not over. I'm afraid it's against the rules to change hands in the middle of the road!"
Chu Hong Guang thought for a moment. "That Luo Chen guy? She's just an unpopular child artist—just give her up! How does this break the rules?"
Zhou Wen Bin replied without changing his expression, "It's a waste of company resources to spend it on a worthless artist like him! I strongly disagree with Ye Bai's assessment!"
Hearing Zhou Wen Bin's words, Luo Chen's pale and thin lips fused together, yet the man, Ye Bai, still had the same relaxed expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Wen Bin coldly with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
"He chose Luo Chen and I also agreed to it." Chu Hong Guang seemed to have no intention of changing his mind and it was clear that he did not care to waste a little resources.
A hint of darkness flashed across Zhou Wen Bin's eyes like his heart had been shot by an arrow. He kept trying to persuade his boss, "Chu Chief, Ye Bai broke the company rules directly and caused other more potential artists to become extremely disappointed. As director, I really can't let this happen!"
Zhou Wen Bin put on a face that he deeply understood and tried his best to resolve this matter. "Chu Chief, why don't we do it this way? I'll give him Lin Hao — Lin Hao is amazing in his supporting role in the last movie he did and has gained a lot of popularity.It's a problem for him to get B-list status..."
Zhou Wen Bin sounds like he has the best interests of the company at heart and looks very generous — no one will suspect he has the dirty intentions that he actually has.
This Ye Bai must try harder if he wants to accept me!
"Ye Bai, Wen Bin wants to give Lin Hao to you. What say?" Chu Hong Guang looked at Ye Bai.
"A switch? Sure did!" Surprisingly, Ye Wanwan's attitude was very relaxed.
Zhou Wen Bin narrowed his eyes - did he really agree to it so easily?
He thought this Ye Bai would definitely complain about him to chairman Chu, telling the boss how he forced himself onto Luo Chen right now.
After listening to Ye Bai's words, Luo Chen's face became blank. It felt like his heart had fallen from a tall building...
Chapter 294: Replace him with Gong Xu.
*Lin Hao is a rising star with a bright future compared to Luo Chen, who has not had a single task in three years and has long been forgotten by everyone ...
Anyone will know who the right choice is ...
I should have known...
Zhou Wen Bin is right .. no one in the whole World ... who wants me ...
My whole life.. long gone*...
Seeing that Ye Bai was pleasant, Zhou Wen Bin secretly revealed a despicable expression. He immediately picked a small artist? This Ye Bai is very inexperienced.
Zhou Wen Bin spoke arrogantly, acting as if he was very generous, "Since manager Ye has agreed to it, then it is arranged. I will ask someone to bring Lin Hao's engagement contract for you to sign!"
"Hold it!" Ye Wanwan interrupted Zhou Wen Bin.
Zhou Wen Bin raised his eyebrows and looked slightly displeased. "What's? Do you have any other requests?"
Ye Wanwan grinned and glanced at Zhou Wen Bin. A hint of humiliation and humiliation flashed in his eyes as he spoke. "We can have the switch but director Zhou, isn't Lin Hao a little subpar? If you want a switch .. then I'll trade it for Gong Xu!"
Zhou Wen Bin was stunned for a moment before he absorbed what Ye Bai had just asked for. His face changed and he exploded into a rage, "Ye Bai! You're too arrogant! You really think I can't do anything to you? Chairman Chu, did you hear what he just said? the problem!"
*He's actually comparing this person that no one has ever heard of to the most popular artist under me!
This is really ridiculous*!
Not to mention Zhou Wen Bin, but even Luo Chen himself was stunned when he heard what Ye Bai said. His clear and empty eyes were filled with disbelief ...
Ye Wanwan's expression remained unchanged as he sneered, "I made trouble? Who's making trouble? Chairman Chu, you're the one who ordered everyone in Dazzling to cooperate with me..."
Ye Wanwan obviously did not mention how Zhou Wen Bin violated Luo Chen because he knew it would be useless even if he did.
One was the gold manager while the other was an artist who passed his prime—clearly on which side Chu Hong Guang would stand. It was very common for such things to happen in the entertainment industry. If something went wrong, Zhou Wen Bin might even accuse Luo Chen of seducing him.
So, what was Chu Hong Guang most worried about?
Power and status.
With Zhou Wen Bin's position, it was as if he was the ruler of a vassal state far from the imperial capital, guarding his throne and arrogantly expanding his army.
But in the entertainment industry, an unfavorable manager has too much power. Many established entertainment companies collapse overnight because a manager hunts down too many artists when they leave the company...
Hearing Ye Bai's interrogation, Zhou Wen Bin gradually panicked as he chilled, "Ye Bai! Don't try to make a wedge between us now! When did I say something like that?"
One had to understand that Chu Hong Guang hated someone who challenged his authority and fled from his control.
As expected, Chu Hong Guang's face began to change.
Chapter 295: Are you sure you want to follow him?
Even though Chu Hong Guang knew Ye Bai was just trying to put some distance between him and Zhou Wen Bin, he still took his words seriously.
Zhou Wen Bin was really too unpleasant recently — he underestimated him as chairman several times and he even heard that Zhou Wen Bin had made personal contact with the people from the Group Ye ...
With that thought in mind, Chu Hong Guang finally said, "Wen Bin, hand over the contract. I've already made a decision on this matter."
"But, chairman Chu ..."
Chu Hong Guang's face darkened. "What's? Can't I move the artist now? If you don't agree to this, hand over Gong Xu!"
For Chairman Chu to say something like that, he must be extremely agitated.
"Of course you can .. Chairman Chu, that's not what I mean .. I .. I'll do it soon ..." In order to prevent Chu Hong Guang from fidgeting any further, Zhou Wen Bin could only take a retreat.
Chu Hong Guang humped and closed the video call.
It seems Ye Bai was right. If Dazzling was run by Zhou Wen Bin alone, nothing good would happen. If Zhou Wen Bin develops malicious intent, all Dazzling will be removed.
But this Ye Bai was too young and careless—she let her emotions influence her decision, stubbornly asking that Luo Chen's man was in a fit state. Could Ye Bai really accept Zhou Wen Bin?
After he ended the video call, Zhou Wen Bin made a very angry call to have his assistant and lawyer come and handle the handover.
As he signed the papers, he looked at Ye Bai as if he wanted to swallow him alive.
Shit, I almost succeeded but I failed once again!
After Luo Chen's transfer to her was complete, Ye Wanwan waved the contract, curled his lips and stood up. "Appreciate that, director Zhou!"
Everything happened so suddenly that Luo Chen was still unconscious when he saw his own name under the new management contract. Only after realizing that Ye Wanwan was already standing up and ready to leave did he wake up and quickly follow behind.
Just as he stepped out, Zhou Wen Bin's grim voice came from behind, "Luo Chen, you better think about this carefully! Do you really want to follow this immature and inexperienced manager with a lack of network and resources?"
Luo Chen paused for a moment before continuing walking towards Ye Bai...
A collision echoed from the office - it was the result of Zhou Wen Bin kicking the coffee table.
Ck, there are so many new and submissive artists in the company—he could have one of them!
This Luo Chen is almost 21 years old — he is no longer the same as before. Zhou Wen Bin only wanted it because he could not have it, but it turned out that this new man did not know what was good for him...
Goody! How kind! I want to see what happens when Luo Chen follows Ye Bai!
In the office on the second floor:
After all, he was someone that Chu Hong Guang had personally sent, so he should be seen to have a certain status. Although Ye Wanwan's office was not as spacious or grand as Zhou Wen Bin's office, it wasn't bad. It is minimalist and has good lighting.
"Make yourself comfortable" Ye Wanwan pulled out a P3K box from one of the drawers.
Luo Chen lowered his head and disinfected his wound discreetly. Then he put a bandage on it.
Ye Wanwan pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the table, then assessed the man in front of him with no expression on his face.
He called her a man but he thought she was more like a teenager.
The current Luo Chen and the teenager he saw three years ago were completely identical.
