Chapter 102: Making Her an Overnight Sensation

~9 min read 1,613 words

Xu Tian stared at Guo Qishan, picked up the paper cup in front of him, and took a calm sip of water:

"If Guo Zong is truly unwilling, there is no need to force it. It's just that I heard Guo Zong is a person who keeps his word. If you go back on the promise you made to me in front of the company's senior management now..."

"Xiao Xu, you've misunderstood."

A flash of displeasure crossed Guo Qishan's eyes, but it was fleeting: "Since I promised you, I will definitely fulfill my promise. It's just that the villa in Jiangshui Dynasty has very important significance to me. However, I am a person who keeps his word. Don't worry, I will have my secretary prepare the relevant documents now."

After Guo Qishan finished speaking, he dialed an internal line and called his secretary in.

After the secretary came in, he called the other party to his side and whispered a few words.

Ten minutes later, the secretary returned with a stack of documents and placed them in front of Xu Tian.

Before Xu Tian could flip through those documents, Guo Qishan spoke again:

"Xiao Xu, you are a meritorious official of the company. I definitely won't treat you unfairly. You can't buy a house in this area now even if you have money, but because you will soon be coming to work at the company and can be considered my capable subordinate, I can't treat you unfairly."

"How about this, I will sell you this property at 60% of the auction price. As long as you pay the money, I will have someone handle the property rights transfer."

Xu Tian paused his hand upon hearing Guo Qishan's words, inwardly cursing the old fox.

The condition he mentioned was for Guo Qishan to give him this villa.

But Guo Qishan played a word game with him, calling giving 'buying.'

The transaction price of this villa back then was very high. Even if Guo Qishan gave him a 40% discount, that could easily buy several houses in other areas of Jiangcheng.

However, the expression on Xu Tian's face didn't fluctuate much. He still stared at Guo Qishan calmly, with a smile on his lips.

Dealing with an old slicker in the business world like Guo Qishan wouldn't be that smooth.

This was something he had anticipated beforehand.

However, if the other party thought this level of difficulty could make him lose his footing, then they were too naive.

Guo Qishan originally wanted to see Xu Tian's flustered appearance, but he didn't expect that there wasn't the slightest dissatisfaction in Xu Tian's expression.

He frowned and sized up Xu Tian, seemingly wanting to see some other emotions on his face, but ultimately failed.

Since things had reached this point, he could only continue the act, trying hard to maintain the appearance of a boss who keeps his word.

"Xiao Xu, don't worry. I've already had someone prepare the transfer agreement. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money for now. As long as your money is in place, that villa is yours at any time."

Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Guo Qishan with a half-smile, and then spoke.

"Thank you, Guo Zong, for parting with it."

Guo Qishan couldn't fathom Xu Tian's thoughts and felt unhappy, but he still followed the previously scheduled process and took out another contract.

"This contract is also prepared for you. Take a look and see if there's anything you're dissatisfied with. I'll have the Human Resources Department modify it immediately."

Xu Tian picked up the contract upon hearing this.

As soon as he opened it and saw the content inside, a cold light flashed in his lowered eyes.

The Party A of this contract wasn't Tian Feng Entertainment at all, but a small company under Tian Feng Entertainment—Qingguo Music.

As one of the top entertainment companies in the industry, Tian Feng Entertainment has many subsidiaries, covering many projects such as film and television, variety shows, live streaming, and music.

But as everyone knows, Qingguo Music is at the bottom in terms of strength among these companies. Except for the singer Nie Jingjing, who went solo after the group under Du Xiaowei's management debuted, everyone else is a small transparent person beyond the 180th line, some of whom don't even have a Baidu Encyclopedia entry.

And this company basically belongs to a state of being "free-ranged" by Tian Feng Entertainment, with Du Xiaowei being the sole authority in the company, having the final say.

Guo Qishan continued to put on the appearance of a good boss who cares for his subordinates and patiently advised:

"Xiao Xu, you also know that Tian Feng Entertainment is already a very mature entertainment company. Your performance when handling Shang Yiran's public relations crisis earlier did indeed make me look at you with new eyes."

"I thought about it and finally felt that instead of letting you enter Tian Feng Entertainment directly to retire peacefully, it would be better to give you more opportunities to venture out."

"Young people shouldn't be content with the status quo; they should dare to fight. I believe that with your strength, you will definitely bring out excellent artists."

Xu Tian didn't speak, his eyes just turned a bit colder.

Sending him to a subsidiary that had almost been abandoned, and calling it believing in his ability and training him.

It's no wonder the Yan family couldn't fight Guo Qishan and ended up bankrupt.

However, Guo Qishan wanting to exile him to Qingguo Music was within his expectations.

After all, ever since Gu Beicheng told him not to reveal his identity and to solve Shang Yiran's public relations crisis as an ordinary employee, he had guessed that Gu Beicheng wouldn't let him develop freely.

Guo Qishan waited for a while, and seeing that Xu Tian hadn't spoken for a long time, he took out another folder.

"Xiao Xu, I've already prepared it for you."

"This is the list of all artists at Qingguo Music. Except for Nie Jingjing, who was brought to fame by Du Xiaowei and is inconvenient to change agents for, you can choose any other artist."

"And I have already greeted them over there. After you go over, you will not only be an agent but can also participate in the company's various decision-making processes."

"The future and prospects of Qingguo Music all depend on you!"

With such a big hat put on him, if it were a newcomer who had just started, they would probably have been grateful to Guo Qishan and full of fighting spirit, wanting to make a career.

It's just a pity that these words had absolutely no effect on Xu Tian, who already had two lifetimes of experience.

The entire Qingguo Music didn't have a single artist who could stand on their own, except for Nie Jingjing.

He could break his head picking from these small transparent people and wouldn't be able to pick anything out.

However, Xu Tian still opened the file box Guo Qishan handed over and carefully flipped through the artist profiles inside, trying to find a fish that had slipped through the net.

Relying on the few extra years of experience from his previous life, he flipped through the documents extremely quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, to the point that Guo Qishan even suspected he hadn't looked carefully at all.

"Xiao Xu..." Just as Guo Qishan wanted to speak, Xu Tian's fingers paused, stopping on the second-to-last page of the list.

Murong Xue, 22 years old. Graduated from the Vienna Royal Academy of Music.

Work: White-Blue Chewing Gum commercial song.

Xu Tian had heard of this person, Murong Xue, before.

Because in his previous life, he had been eating White-Blue Chewing Gum to quit smoking for Lin Miaoyin, so he had some impression of the commercial song that became an overnight sensation that year.

It could be said that during that time, the song was playing on every street and alley, which also made Murong Xue, a newcomer who had just entered the entertainment industry, receive a lot of attention.

Normally, the company should have struck while the iron was hot, releasing a single for Murong Xue or recommending her to appear on music variety shows to gain exposure and accumulate connections.

If she were lucky enough to be spotted by a well-known music producer and have an album tailored for her, her future acting career would definitely be smooth sailing.

Even if she didn't have the opportunity to cooperate with those big producers, she could at least gain fans through the shows.

But ever since that commercial song, Murong Xue had had no movement at all.

Let alone singles or albums, she didn't even have work standing in for senior brothers and sisters in the same company to gain familiarity.

Xu Tian fell into deep thought as he looked at this personal resume that had almost no information.

In his impression, Murong Xue's vocal conditions were very good, and she was also beautiful. If operated properly, she might really be able to enter the public's view.

He also remembered that in this time period, it wouldn't be long before Murong Xue would have an opportunity to become an overnight sensation, but in his previous life, she didn't seize this opportunity, so she was completely forgotten and never left any work that made people remember her since then.

And now, there was still time.

This time, he would let Murong Xue return to the stage, become an overnight sensation, and become a dazzling new star in the entertainment industry. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
