Xi'ou was recently very lively, not only because the cash cow tBp was about to release a new song, but more importantly, the famous actress Zhou Man had actually signed with Liu Jinhua.
Now, Xi'ou was no longer a newcomer just making a name for itself in the entertainment industry. With Zhou Man, a perennial favorite, everyone had to give some face to the boss behind Xi'ou!
Liu Jinhua was overjoyed looking at the resources in her hands. She finally felt the feeling of being sought after by thousands of people again.
Liu Jinhua: "Man, look, these brand owners are truly loyal to you. Even knowing you've changed management, they still follow you closely!"
Zhou Man couldn't quite smile. She had even threatened to die to escape Yan Shizong. Having escaped, she wasn't here to continue working for a new boss.
Liu Jinhua: "Oh, don't worry. Our boss will absolutely not treat you poorly. Look, the terms he's given you are so generous, seven for us and three for you. In any other entertainment company, who would dare offer such a deal?"
Zhou Man: "You know why I left. Does Mr. Ou truly want to help me? Coming here, besides regular engagements, I'm still an actress in everyone's eyes, aren't I?"
Liu Jinhua: "Don't rush. If you were in our boss's position, do you think he could immediately trust someone he's never met before?"
Zhou Man pouted. One reason for her tantrum was that she couldn't fathom why Ou Yunchen was indifferent to her, truly only wanting to treat her as a female artist in the company.
The coldness in his eyes truly disappointed a seasoned beauty!
Secretary: "Sister Jinhua, Mr. Ou is looking for you."
Liu Jinhua quickly got up. She was now completely loyal to Ou Yunchen, utterly devoted!
Arriving at the office, Ou Yunchen stood by the window, gazing into the distance.
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, you were looking for me?"
Ou Yunchen withdrew his gaze and gestured for Liu Jinhua to sit. Before she could settle in, she was drawn to a gilded black envelope on the coffee table.
Liu Jinhua: "What is this?"
Ou Yunchen: "You can open it and see."
Liu Jinhua carefully opened the envelope. Inside was an invitation.
Liu Jinhua: "An invitation personally signed by Yan Shizong!!!"
Ou Yunchen: "Mr. Yan wishes to invite our Xi'ou to participate in the Film Investment and Financing Summit."
Liu Jinhua: "I've never heard of it. What kind of conference is it?"
Ou Yunchen: "I checked. This isn't the first year for this conference. The first one was in 2019. It mainly discusses the integration of finance and film, aiming to promote the great development of the film and television culture industry and business."
Liu Jinhua: "I seem to recall it. It was held after that year's film festival, wasn't it? But the invitees didn't seem to be movie stars."
Ou Yunchen: "That's right. The attendees of the summit that year were members of the film and television organizing committee, Juying Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., the three major banks, and financial service platforms. It can even be said to be an internal meeting."
Liu Jinhua: "Then why are we invited this year?"
Ou Yunchen: "This year, the number of invitees has increased to 300 people. Besides the regular guests, the rest are peers from the financial sector."
Liu Jinhua: "Is it because Xi'ou is a subsidiary of ATL? Then I understand. It seems like a great development opportunity. We should attend!"
Ou Yunchen: "Mm, get ready. You'll come with me."
Liu Jinhua picked up the invitation and hesitated. This was indeed a great opportunity...
As a renowned agent, accompanying the boss to such an event would not only be prestigious but also elevate her status in the industry. However, she then thought of Zhou Man...
Perhaps Zhou Man was more ambitious than her and more suitable to accompany the boss!
Ou Yunchen: "What's wrong? Is there a difficulty?"
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, is it tonight?"
Ou Yunchen: "Yes."
Liu Jinhua: "I can't. I've already made plans with the agent from Shu Yi tonight. We're preparing to collaborate with Shu Yi for tBp's new album. I, I can't get away..."
Ou Yunchen frowned slightly. He could bring his secretary, but he felt it would be safer to bring someone from the industry.
After much deliberation, he had decided to bring Liu Jinhua, so that even if he encountered unfamiliar film and television bosses, he wouldn't be awkwardly unable to recall their names.
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, I have someone more suitable!"
Ou Yunchen looked up. Liu Jinhua became bolder.
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, why don't you take Zhou Man with you!"
Ou Yunchen suddenly remembered that Zhou Man had already signed with Xi'ou.
She had put aside her pride and become a contracted artist for this small entertainment company. It seemed she had shown enough sincerity. Then, should Ou Yunchen also fulfill his promise and help Zhou Man transition?
Ou Yunchen: "Then notify her."
Liu Jinhua: "Okay! Thank you, boss!"
In the secretary's office, Ou Yunchen's secretary, Ruby, was swamped with work.
Crystal: "Sister Ruby, I'll help you."
Ruby: "That's great! Hold this for me. I have to rush to logistics to book a car for the boss."
Crystal: "Mr. Ou is going out?"
Ruby: "Yes, he has a very important meeting tonight. Oh no! What time is it?"
Crystal: "Ten o'clock."
Ruby: "No! I haven't picked up the suit yet. Mr. Ou's suit is still at the shop!!! He has to wear it tonight!"
Crystal: "Then I'll go pick it up for you."
Ruby: "Really? That would be wonderful. There's just too much going on lately, I can't handle it all by myself..."
Crystal: "Are you Mr. Ou's only secretary?"
Ruby: "Yes, I handle everything, both work and personal life."
Crystal: "But his position should warrant at least three secretaries, shouldn't it?"
Ruby: "He doesn't like too many secretaries. It was alright before, but it's only since Xi'ou was added that I've become so busy."
Crystal: "I see. Then I'll go get the suit for you first. If there's anything else you need help with, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Ruby: "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. Oh, right, Crystal, since you're going to pick up the suit, could you also go to the dry cleaners for me?"
Crystal: "The boss's?"
Ruby: "No, mine. I need to wear it tonight. I can't go in my work uniform."
Crystal: "Are you also attending that conference?"
Ruby: "Yes, I accompany him to all conferences. I'll send you the address. Go there."
Crystal said "okay" but had a new plan forming in her mind.
Although she didn't know what the conference was, her purpose for being here was to get close to Ou Yunchen and monitor all his activities.
This was a golden opportunity! If only she could prevent Ruby from going!
