At Dazzling Media:
The news about an externally hired manager spread throughout the entirepany.
As expected, the senior managers were obviously unhappy; never mind that he didn''t climb his way up,
but he was so young to boot.
Why doesn''t he choose to be a celebrity instead since he''s so young and good-looking? Why must he
be a manager?
After all, being a manager and an artiste wasn''t the same the earlier one debuted as an artiste the
better, but a manager required lots of experience and extensiveworks. Most of the managers
started out as assistants or were in charge of marketing; they normally didn''t have an artiste under
them without working at least three to five years, so there were only a few managers in the industry
who were under 30 years old.
But the older employees knew in their hearts that chairman Chu was already wary of this dictator, Zhou
Wen Bin, who held power over all the artistes. Thus, chairman Chu gave Ye Bai extensive powers and
made sure everyone agreed to cooperate with him.
At the moment, everybody was just waiting to see what would happen. Nobody dared to choose a
team, but it was obvious that not many people had a good feeling about Ye Bai.
Zhou Wen Bin had been rebuked by Ye Bai in front of chairman Chu, and Ye Bai seemed capable on
the surface, but chairman Chu couldn''t control what happened in private. This young guy didn''t have
any background, no backers, no experience, and the artiste he chose was way past his prime. How
could he fight against Zhou Wen Bin?
There was chaos in the film studio.
A group of neers was having their photos taken for publicity purposes.
Many of them weren''t even in their 20s yet the youngest was only 16. All of them were at the age when
they were freshest.
Luo Chen arrived very early that morning. He still wore a in t-shirt and jeans with a pair of old and
washed-out sneakers as he waited silently in a corner.
It was currently 9:10 a.m., 10 minutes past the time his manager told him yesterday.
At that moment, an attractive-looking artiste was joking with some people and wasn''t looking straight as
he identally bumped into Luo Chen
Seeing that the person in his way was Luo Chen, the artiste''s face suddenly turned ugly. "Luo Chen..."
This artiste, Lin Hao, was under Zhou Wen Bin as well. As his manager was the strongest in the
neers crowded around him, trying to curry favor with him.
News of the incident in Zhou Wen Bin''s office yesterday already spread; everyone knew the new
manager chose an unpopr artiste under Zhou Wen Bin, and rumor had it that Zhou Wen Bin refused
to let him go and used Lin Hao to switch with Luo Chen. What''s worse was that the new manager
refused to budge as he thought Lin Hao wasn''t good enough, making Lin Hao the butt of the joke in the
entire office.
When he saw Luo Chen, Lin Hao naturally had a rage boiling inside him. He rubbed his chin and sized
him up with a threatening gaze. "What are you doing here!"
"My manager asked me to wait here." Luo Chen seemed to be ustomed to receiving this kind of
treatment as he didn''t move and stayed put as he replied expressionlessly.
Lin Haoughed out loud. "Eh, manager? That little Adonis who just entered thepany?"
The neers next to Lin Hao also chimed in and sneered to please Lin Hao. "Ai yo, I wondered who
that was. Is he the future star the new manager handpicked? He has backed, so no wonder he''s so
arrogant now!"
"He can''t make aeback just by changing his manager, can he?"
"Even Chu-ge couldn''t groom this garbage, yet he''s still thinking of making aeback!"
Lin Hao crossed his arms andughed. "Don''t say that, guys. He''s our senior after all since he debuted
three years ago!"
