The shareholder meeting ended with Yuan Lele's ultimate victory. As soon as Chen Sen walked out of the meeting room, he called Zhou Shu, but the other side didn't answer. Finally, Chen Sen had no choice but to call Zhou Shu's secretary. The secretary answered the call, but the news he got left Chen Sen stunned.
"Mr. Chen, General Manager Zhou said that you should not look for him for anything in the future. Vientiane Entertainment has nothing to do with the Zhou family anymore."
Beep, beep, beep, beep...
Chen Sen was a bit dazed listening to the sound of the phone hanging up. Among the other three shareholders who came out behind him, one stepped forward and patted Chen Sen on the shoulder.
"Old Chen, it's better to accept some things earlier. Don't make a fuss."
The other two gloated and echoed. How could the other three not know about the Zhou family's infiltration into their shareholder group? They just watched from the sidelines. They all knew that Chen Sen had taken refuge in the Zhou family. When the Zhou family had the upper hand some time ago, Chen Sen had been showing off in front of the other three.
But the three of them were old foxes. They wouldn't offend anyone until the last moment. To put it bluntly, they were like fence - sitters. And they had made the right decision. Who would have thought that this young girl from the Yuan family could stage a comeback? Chen Sen had suffered a big loss and was probably on Yuan Lele's blacklist.
Who said it wasn't? But did Yuan Lele understand the actions of the other three? She did, but for now, she could only turn a blind eye.
"General Manager Yuan, these people are so cunning!"
Yuan Lele smiled. What she was thinking was that if these people didn't have some tricks up their sleeves, how could they have reached the position of shareholders? Everything had its cause and effect. Fortunately, these three people hadn't caused any damage to the company. Let it be for now. After all, they were the founding members left by her parents.
Thinking of her parents, Yuan Lele felt a pang in her heart. After the matter with Yunqing Venture Capital was settled, she would find a suitable person to conduct a detailed investigation. The claim that it was an accident was unacceptable to Yuan Lele. She would find out the truth no matter what.
Yuan Lele went back and had a good rest that night. At 9:30 the next morning, a major meeting for artists and agents was held. Everyone had to attend. Those who couldn't come to the site must participate via video. Since there were too many people, no meeting room in the company could accommodate them all. Finally, they went to a dance studio.
When Yuan Lele arrived, the artists and agents were already there. She walked up to the full - length mirror and stood facing everyone.
"I've called everyone here today to talk about a few things."
Yuan Lele didn't say a lot of useless motivational words. She got straight to the point.
"First, I'm sure everyone knows about the matter of 9 artists and 4 agents terminating their contracts with the company yesterday. Here, I want to say that if after I finish speaking the following words, there are still people who want to leave, please do it today. If you suddenly tell me you want to terminate the contract after today, I'm sorry, Vientiane Entertainment won't let you go so easily. You have to be prepared to bear the consequences."
"Second, I know that some people have been making a lot of small moves privately. I just want to say to those people that I know everything. Don't cross the line anymore. Otherwise, I won't just let it go. You also have to be prepared to bear the consequences."
"Third, for those who truly choose to stay, Vientiane Entertainment will never treat you badly."
"Fourth, following up on what I just said, Vientiane Entertainment has established a cooperation project with Yunqing Venture Capital. There will be at least two variety shows and three TV dramas in the future. So, for those who truly treat Vientiane well, Vientiane will surely give you a return."
"Fifth, I'm sure everyone knows about Yan Yuqi's face. Here, I want to clarify that I solved the problem with her face. The company will also provide it to individuals for free later, but the quantity is limited. So, everything still depends on your performance, and it will be distributed accordingly."
This was like a carrot hanging in front of them for Yuan Lele. Although her younger sister Yuan Tiantian and General Manager Yu would officially launch it on the market later at a high price, she could get it from her sister at the cost price to serve the company. This was a good thing for the bottom - tier artists who still lacked good looks. They could get a return by working hard without spending money!
"Yes, yes! Look at my skin. I'm not using any beauty filters!"
Yan Yuqi couldn't make it back because she was filming on a movie set. She was in the video conference. When she heard General Manager Yuan mention her, she immediately brought her beautiful and fair face close to the camera. Since it was a large - screen connection, the people in the front and middle rows could see her fair and smooth skin. They were extremely envious and very interested in what General Manager Yuan had mentioned. All they could think about was to perform well!
"By the way, when I say perform well, I don't mean in a bad way. I'm sure you know what I mean. I mean you should show a more professional level."
Those who had had some bad ideas stopped when they heard what Yuan Lele said. Seeing that the restless crowd had quieted down again, Yuan Lele announced the last piece of information for today.
"Sixth, and this is the last thing I want to say today. I'll give you a chance to change your artist or agent. The deadline is before work ends tomorrow. If any artist or agent feels unhappy with the current relationship, you can come to Assistant Yan to submit an application. But you have to write clearly who wants to be under which agent, or which artist an agent wants to replace or take in. Of course, you should add the reason. You don't need to write a lot. Even just one sentence that gets to the point will do."
As soon as Yuan Lele announced this news, there was a buzz below. Everyone started whispering. Obviously, they hadn't expected such an arrangement. Wouldn't it cause conflicts?
"Don't worry. I'm still in charge of Vientiane Entertainment. If anyone is retaliated against because of the change, you don't need to go through Assistant Yan. You can report it directly to me. I'll punish them severely! But this is a one - time opportunity. There won't be another one. Due to certain reasons, I've noticed some problems in the current relationship between artists and agents. So, I've made this decision. I hope you'll seize this opportunity seriously. After this change, you can get along well with each other and make progress together."
These words really hit home for everyone. In fact, there were quite a few people who felt they couldn't get along with their current artists or agents, but they had just accepted it as an unchangeable fact. With this opportunity given by General Manager Yuan, many people began to secretly plan.
However, someone raised their hand and asked a question.
"General Manager Yuan, what if there are a lot of people making the same choice? For example, if several agents want the same artist, or if a dozen artists suddenly want to go to one agent, won't it be a mess?"
Yuan Lele looked at the person with a smile and nodded in satisfaction. This was a good question. Finally, someone had asked it.
"The choice is two - way. That is, you're just submitting an application. The final decision still lies with the other side. Of course, if there are people left without a match, the company will make a unified arrangement later. Each agent will have 5 - 6 artists under their charge. The company will keep it in check, and there won't be a big gap between the lucky and the unlucky."
Now, everyone understood.
A large - scale "person - swapping show" at Vientiane Entertainment had begun.
