On the surface, Xu Tian was promoted to the position of deputy manager of the company, but in fact, he was promoted openly and secretly.
Now that he no longer has real power in his hands, and the director of the Ministry of Economic Affairs who was parachuted in is Guo Qishan's nephew, it is obvious who will be in charge of Apple Music in the future.
Since Xu Tian has now become an outcast, Zhang Baishun naturally does not need to give him face.
Just when Zhang Baishun was perfunctory with Xu Tian, they saw the high-spirited Guo Zhihao and Zhou Shishi walking towards their direction with bright faces.
When Guo Zhihao saw Xu Tian, he smiled and said to him: "Manager Xu, just leave all this kind of work to me in the future. You are now the deputy manager. How can you do such errands?"
How about coming forward in person? If word spreads, people in the industry will mistakenly think that Qingguo Music treats meritorious officials harshly, that would be bad."
"Besides, Nie Jingjing is the first sister in the company. She is popular and experienced. There is nothing wrong with asking her to take more care of Shishi, a newcomer. We can all make progress together!"
"Double heroines are popular nowadays, and audiences love to watch this kind of drama where big beauties compete for the throne. As soon as the revised script is aired, it will definitely top the hot search list."
"What's more, our family, Shishi, has just participated in the recording of the second season of "The Sound of Nature" before. She will definitely have a bright future in the future. Let Nie Jingjing cooperate with her. Isn't this mutually beneficial?"
"You two are so different!" Nie Jingjing really couldn't stand Guo Zhihao's behavior of being obedient despite getting an advantage. Regardless of Xu Tian's warning, she rushed over and pointed at him and cursed: "In order to gain my popularity, you don't even have to show your face.
Already?"
"A internet celebrity who only wants to have works but no works and no popularity has the nerve to talk about cooperation with me? Is she worthy?"
"I'll put my words here today. You can ask Zhou Shishi to carry my shoes, but there's absolutely no way you can ask her to play the double heroine with me!"
"If you continue to pester me so shamelessly, then I won't film it. This woman who has been sucked by blood will play whoever she likes!"
Even though Guo Zhihao was just a small agent before, because he was Guo Qishan's nephew, he was praised by everyone in the headquarters and no one dared to look down on him.
At this moment, when he saw Nie Jingjing being so ruthless in confronting him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Nie Jingjing, do you still think that you are a rich lady who is praised by all the stars? Today is different from the past. Without the support of your family, you are nothing!"
"The cooperation with Lemon Short Video is the most important project of the company in the second half of the year. The contract has been signed. If you just stop the show when you say it, do you really think that the company's rules are just decoration?"
Guo Zhihao was not content with targeting Nie Jingjing, he even took his anger out on Xu Tian.
"Deputy Manager Xu, these are the good artists you have brought out. Today is really an eye-opener for me!"
Nie Jingjing's eyebrows stood upright, and her eyes could even spit out fire.
Guo Zhihao's words just now could be said to have stepped on her pain. Just when she was about to curse, Xu Tian pulled her behind her.
"The artists I lead don't need to be told by Director Guo."
"What do you mean?" Guo Zhihao's face changed: "I am now the director of the company's economic department, and I am in charge of the entire company's artists. Can't I just say a few words?"
Before Xu Tian could continue to speak, Guo Qishan actually called him.
When Guo Zhihao caught a glimpse of the caller ID, he immediately straightened his chest and had an obvious look of pride on his face.
Xu Tian put the phone to his ear with a calm expression.
"Hello?"
"Xu Tian, Zhihao has just taken office, and there are still many things he doesn't understand about the company. As a senior, if he encounters something he can't handle, you should help him more."
"You are a smart person, you should know what to do, right?"
Xu Tian sneered.
As expected, this old fox got wind of the situation and called him to beat him up.
"I understand, Mr. Guo."
"It's best if you can take the overall situation into consideration." Guo Qishan was obviously very satisfied with Xu Tian's attitude, and gave him a few gentle words before hanging up the phone.
Guo Zhihao could guess the content of the call between his uncle and Xu Tian through Xu Tian's expression, so his expression became even more proud.
"Deputy Manager Xu, please give me some advice!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "deputy manager" very strongly, naturally reminding Xu Tian that today is different from the past, the economic department of Qingguo Music now has the final say.
"My uncle asked you to cooperate with me, but you ordered your female stars to go against me. This is not easy to handle!"
"Since you want to make a film with two heroines, it's not impossible."
Faced with Guo Zhihao's provocation, Xu Tian's reaction was still calm.
Guo Zhihao raised his eyebrows, with a narrow smile on his lips.
Wasn't this Xu Tian very arrogant just now? Now that his uncle calls him, doesn't the other party still have to compromise and obey his words?
What if Xu Tian makes Murong Xue famous and improves the performance of Qingguo Music?
He is a little loser with no capital to back him up, so he has to be obedient and let himself harvest the ripe fruits?
Guo Zhihao relied on the support of his own uncle Guo Qishan, so he had his tail raised to the sky and had nothing to fear.
He doesn't need any innovative planning at all. As long as he is willing to spend money and provide resources to Zhou Shishi, even if she is a little transparent, he can find a way to turn her into an international superstar.
Of course this is only the first step.
When he increases Zhou Shishi's worth, he can legitimately take over Xu Tian's artists and resources. At that time, Qingguo Music, which was brought back to life in Xu Tian's hands, will completely become his.
Guo Zhihao was immersed in his own beautiful fantasy and didn't notice Xu Tian's implication at all, so he answered perfunctorily.
"Since you agree, don't wait any longer."
"I originally didn't recommend filming with two female protagonists, but since you, Director Guo, have reached an agreement with Manager Zhang, I have nothing to say."
"But let's talk about it first. I will not be responsible for any negative impact caused by the finished short drama after it is released. He will take care of the aftermath. Do you agree?"
"Haha, no problem." Guo Zhihao disagreed, thinking this was Xu Tianqian's angry words after he had run out of skills: "Since I came forward to finalize this project with Manager Zhang, of course I should bear all the responsibilities, so Deputy Manager Xu can rest assured.
"
As for Zhang Baishun, who was watching coldly from the side, he didn't take Xu Tian's words to heart.
What kind of trouble can a person who has lost his power still make?
Seeing that Xu Tian finally relented, Guo Zhihao turned to look at Nie Jingjing, who was still as cold as ice.
"Nie Jingjing, now that Xu Tian has nodded in agreement, do you still want to go against me?"
Nie Jingjing did not expect that Xu Tian would agree to Guo Zhihao's rude request and agree so happily. She looked at Xu Tian in disbelief.
"Mr. Xu, I don't want to be a double heroine with a 180-tier Internet celebrity with a snake face!"
