After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune Chapter 252

Chapter 252: 225, please unite for monthly votes!

Liu Cui and Xiao Yinqiu arrived at the conference room to find it nearly full.

Almost all the company's top executives were present, but only a few lesser-known artists, as those with a bit of fame were all busy with work. Only artists like Xiao Yinqiu, who were semi-ostracized, just happened to be in Jiangcheng.

After the two entered the conference room, they sat down in a corner. At this moment, almost everyone was worrying about their own futures and paid them no attention.

About fifteen minutes later, Mr. Chen and President Chen escorted the new boss into the conference room.

Yet, upon seeing the new boss, Liu Cui couldn't help but freeze, and a look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Yinqiu's face sitting beside her.

This fair-skinned beauty had a good memory; she instantly recognized the new boss as the neighbor she had encountered in the elevator.

Because his remark, “I never imagined you'd be under me,” had left a deep impression on her.

After that chance encounter, she had labeled the upstairs neighbor as the “lecherous neighbor.”

However, the lecherous neighbor had become her new boss!

Compared to Xiao Yinqiu, Liu Cui was even more shocked because she had been drinking with the new boss just a few days ago, and he had even become the object of her fantasies.

What was more embarrassing was that it seemed like her self-entertaining fantasies had been discovered by him!

After fleeing from her best friend Cai Meichen's rental house, Liu Cui was secretly relieved that they would never cross paths again, which would be too awkward.

But just a few days later, they met again.

And now she was his subordinate.

Don't see me, don't see me…

Liu Cui bowed her head and silently prayed in her heart.

Though the moment of social death would come eventually, she still hoped it could be postponed.

Actually, this meeting was just a handover ceremony; as of today, Tianmei Media was leaving the “Chen Brothers era” and entering the “Mr. Yang era.”

Yang Hao maintained the same strategy he had used when taking over Jiangcheng Newspaper Group: keeping a distant demeanor while unfamiliar with the company and its employees.

During the meeting, he simply introduced himself and then said a few high-sounding empty words before ending his speech.

Tianmei Media's market value was more than ten times that of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group. Untangling the complicated internal structure and factions of such a behemoth was no small feat, and not something to rush into, so today Yang Hao's main goals were to show his face and to get a bit more familiar with the company's top executives.

After he finished speaking, he let each executive introduce themselves. With his intelligence index reaching 100 points, and the strongest brain enhancement on his side, his photographic memory allowed him to easily remember each high-level executive.

His gaze swept over the conference room, intending to record each face in his mind.

During this process, he unexpectedly spotted an acquaintance.

Although Liu Cui was trying her best to keep her head down and hide herself, Yang Hao had shared a dinner table and drinks with her, and it had happened just a few days before.

Besides, this woman had fantasized about him, which made a significant impression on Yang Hao.

What a coincidence.

He was just worrying about not having any acquaintances to begin work with!

After all the executives had introduced themselves, Yang Hao, sitting at the head of the conference table, suddenly pointed to Liu Cui in the corner, who didn't even qualify to sit at the main table: “That beautiful lady there, introduce yourself.”

Seeing the new boss, Yang Hao, suddenly speak up, everyone's gaze involuntarily shifted toward Liu Cui, with varied expressions.

Liu Cui was indeed an old employee of Tianmei Media, but her role in the artists' department was just a team leader, a position far from being able to converse with a president like Yang Hao.

Moreover, in a media company filled with beauties, her looks held no particular advantage, so everyone was puzzled as to why the new boss had singled her out.

Liu Cui, who was publicly named, looked utterly disheartened. She felt she had hidden herself quite well, yet she was still discovered!

“Mr. Yang, hello. I'm Liu Cui from the artists' department, leader of the fourth team. I'm responsible for the training of new agents and currently manage Xiao Yinqiu and several newcomers,” she said.

Liu Cui stood from her seat and grudgingly introduced herself.

“Hmm, take a seat,” Yang Hao said lightly, gesturing with his hand, then added, “Come to my office after the meeting.”

“Uh, alright,” Liu Cui, the junior agent, naturally didn't dare show any disagreement.

But the way everyone in the room looked at her had completely changed. Was it because the new boss had singled her out? Was she being favored by the boss?

Or did they already know each other?

The latter seemed unlikely, or they wouldn't have needed her to introduce herself again.

Could it be Xiao Yinqiu's name that played a role?

Even in the entertainment circle, “Empress Xiao” was considered a top beauty. Perhaps the new boss took an interest in Xiao Yinqiu and wanted to speak with Liu Cui first?

This possibility was quite likely!

Those seated were seasoned figures in the entertainment industry and quickly analyzed the potential reasons.

Of course, this was just speculation based on the known facts.

After Liu Cui sat down, Xiao Yinqiu placed her phone on Liu Cui's lap, the screen showing a WeChat conversation with one line of text: “Sis Cui, do you know the new boss?”

With so many people present and the new boss directly naming his own agent, Xiao Yinqiu was naturally curious.

“Yeah, I'll tell you more about it later,” Liu Cui typed on the phone.

Xiao Yinqiu nodded, struck with surprise, and didn't continue the interaction.

The meeting concluded.

Yang Hao left the room first with his secretary, Xu Yali, and then Liu Cui became the center of everyone's attention.

“Sis Cui, do you know the new boss?”

“Sis Cui, what's the background of our new boss?”

“Sis Cui, remember us when you're climbing up, ha!!”

Colleagues who usually had a good relationship with Liu Cui gathered around one after another to probe for news.

Liu Cui waved her hands in bafflement: “This is my first time meeting the boss, stop guessing wildly!”

She, of course, wouldn't tell the truth to these colleagues with their own agendas.

The president's office was located on the top level of the building, the 42nd floor.

Previously, both President Chen and Mr. Chen had their offices on this floor, but now the entire floor belonged to Mr. Yang!

Mr. Chen's office was relatively spacious, with an indoor golf putter practice set near the floor-to-ceiling windows for the occasional putt.

Yang Hao was not proficient in golf, but that did not stop him from trying out the putter left behind by Mr. Chen.

While Yang Hao was enjoying himself, the secretary, Xu Yali, brought Liu Cui into the office.

“Group Leader Liu, please take a seat.”

Yang Hao casually pointed to the visitor sofa.

“Mr. Yang, I never expected you to become my new boss!”

“I believe that under your wise leadership, our Tianmei will definitely become even better…”

Liu Cui's face was full of a smile as she exchanged pleasantries, trying to hide her inner panic and embarrassment.

“Why did you suddenly leave that night?”

Yang Hao mercilessly brought the topic back to the night that made Liu Cui unable to show her face.

“Er~”

The smile on Liu Cui's face froze at the corner of her mouth as she silently cursed this Mr. Yang a hundred times in her heart.

You just have to bring up the awkward topics, huh!

Do you really take pleasure in my embarrassment?

“I had drunk too much before!”

“After I sobered up, I left,” Liu Cui explained, annoyed.

Yang Hao did not respond immediately but took a putt instead.

The golf ball went straight into the hole!

Yes!!

Yang Hao gave a light fist pump; the feeling of sinking the putt was indeed satisfying.

He put down the putter and then sat down opposite Liu Cui, “Group Leader Liu, there's no need to be nervous.”

“I called you here because I want to understand the internal affairs of the company. Tell me everything you know!”

Liu Cui gave Yang Hao a look, saw his serious expression, and realized he had indeed summoned her to gather information.

So, Liu Cui shared everything she knew in great detail.

And this talk went on for over two hours.

If it were any ordinary person, Liu Cui's lengthy explanations would have scrambled their brains, but Yang Hao had the 'System' to assist him. After listening, he immediately had a clear thread in his mind, and the company's internal structure and factions were crystal clear to him.

“What's the situation with Xiao Yinqiu?”

Earlier, in the conference room, Yang Hao had noticed Xiao Yinqiu sitting next to Liu Cui.

It was hardly possible to ignore such a big beauty, and Yang Hao also recognized her as the neighbor he had met in the elevator a few days ago.

The two were quite fated; not only were they neighbors, but they had also become “colleagues.”

Liu Cui was about to spill the beans on Zhang Kaigang, but upon hearing Yang Hao ask about Xiao Yinqiu, she immediately revealed the matter of Zhang Kaigang's failed attempt to apply the hidden rules to Xiao Yinqiu, and his manipulations to freeze her out using his connections.

After listening, Yang Hao shook his head with a smile.

He had always heard about the various hidden rules in the entertainment industry, and today they were confirmed.

“You just said that all the actresses who have worked in Zhang Kaigang's projects have to accept his hidden rules, meaning they've all slept with him, right?” Yang Hao inquired curiously.

“More or less.”

“Unless there's a bigger backer behind them he doesn't dare to offend,” Liu Cui replied.

Yang Hao nodded slightly, while internally he couldn't help but silently lament: MD, that old guy has quite the good fortune with women!!

“Mr. Yang, Qiuqiu is really an exceptionally dedicated actress with a good image and acting skills.”

“If the company is willing to give her the resources, she's bound to become a huge star, and that in turn will earn more money for the company. It's a win-win.”

Liu Cui took the opportunity to say.

“Hmm, that makes sense.”

Yang Hao nodded, “Have her come up to see me tonight.”

“Ah?”

“See you tonight??”

Liu Cui was taken aback for a moment, then speechless.

She thought that Yang Hao had taken her advice to heart, but it turned out he still coveted Xiao Yinqiu's body.

How is he any different from that old lecher Zhang Kaigang?

No, there is a difference!

This one is the boss, holding much more power than Zhang Kaigang!

Does having power mean you can do whatever you want??

Does it give you the right to force a girl to do things she doesn't want to?

What kind of successful person is this!

They are all beasts in human clothing!!

Liu Cui cursed inwardly, but as a little agent, she dared not talk back to the boss. She simply nodded silently, “Alright, Mr. Yang, I'll take my leave then.”

“Wait…”

Yang Hao called out to Liu Cui, who had already risen to her feet, “Come together tonight, we have more to talk about in detail!”

“Ah?”

“We… together??”

Liu Cui's mouth opened wide in shock, with feelings of outrage and anger intermingling on her face.

This old lecher actually wants me and Qiuqiu together???

There really are no good people in the entertainment industry!!

Even Zhang Kaigang never made such an excessive demand!
