Chapter 417: Give them all to me!

"Knocking is so formal; given our relationship, do I really need to knock?" Nie Jingjing said, looking completely unbothered.

Xu Tian remained expressionless: "I don't think the relationship between a regular agent and an artist allows you to barge into my office whenever you please."

"I..." Nie Jingjing was about to defend herself, but a message suddenly received on her phone caught her attention: "Eh? Mr. Xu, you're probably going to have to change offices."

"Change offices?" Xu Tian was slightly taken aback.

"Yu Jiaojiao told me. It's said that our company's second-in-command is being transferred to headquarters, and they plan to have you take over his position as deputy manager. I heard the internal public notice process at the group level will start soon."

Xu Tian's expression tightened slightly.

Nie Jingjing continued, still oblivious.

"Mr. Xu, you've only been at the company for how long and you're already promoted to deputy manager? You have to treat us to a meal this time!"

Murong Xue had originally wanted to congratulate Xu Tian as well, but she noticed the change in his expression, and a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

"Xu Ge, after you're promoted to deputy manager, who will take over as the current head of the Economic Department?"

Xu Tian shook his head and didn't speak.

This was not good news for him.

Yu Jiaojiao had already heard about the promotion to deputy manager, yet he himself knew nothing about it.

"I'll ask Yu Jiaojiao again." Nie Jingjing took her phone and replied to Yu Jiaojiao on WeChat, receiving a message back quickly.

"It's someone from Tian Feng Entertainment, named Guo Zhihao..."

Nie Jingjing's willow-leaf brows shot up.

"Why does this name sound so familiar? Damn it, he wouldn't happen to be Guo Qishan's own nephew, would he?"

"That's him," Nie Jingjing's assistant replied.

"Is Guo Qishan senile? Parachuting his own nephew in? Isn't this just blatantly pulling strings?"

"Guo Zhihao..." Xu Tian pondered.

It seemed Guo Qishan couldn't hold back anymore.

Although his position had been elevated, the title of deputy manager sounded good, but in reality, it was just a figurehead position.

Guo Qishan sending his own nephew over meant he wanted to seize the fruits of his labor from this period.

The current transfer was likely just the beginning; once Guo Zhihao took office, he would definitely erode his performance bit by bit.

"If the head of the Economic Department changes, will our agent still be Xu Ge?" Murong Xue asked, full of worry. She had never heard of a deputy manager at that company still managing artists: "Won't there be changes there too?"

Upon hearing this, the joy on Nie Jingjing's face vanished completely.

"Impossible! Who would dare change my agent? I only recognize Mr. Xu. Other agents want to manage me? Don't even dream about it!"

Just then, the landline on Xu Tian's desk rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was from the General Manager's office.

"Hello? Supervisor Xu, President Chen wants you to come over for a meeting; the big boss has arrived as well." The person calling was the secretary of Chen Jiantao, General Manager of Qingguo Music, and the "big boss" she referred to was Guo Qishan.

"I'll be right there." Xu Tian hung up the phone and looked calmly at Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue: "You two go get busy first; don't let your imaginations run wild."

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I won't change agents. I only recognize you." Even though Nie Jingjing was slow to react, she realized something was wrong.

"Just don't cause me any trouble during this time, and I'll be grateful." After saying this, Xu Tian stood up and left the office.

Murong Xue stared at the doorway with worry, only shifting her gaze once Xu Tian's figure had disappeared.

High-level conference room.

The high-level executives from all departments of Qingguo Music were present, with Guo Qishan sitting in the main seat and Chen Jiantao on his right.

"Xu Tian, I want to announce some good news in front of everyone."

Seeing Xu Tian enter, Guo Qishan actually took the initiative to stand up and pat him on the shoulder.

"Because of your outstanding performance since joining the company, the group has decided to promote you to Deputy Manager of Qingguo Music. I hope you will continue to work hard and create even better results for the company."

As soon as Guo Qishan finished speaking, applause broke out in the conference room.

"Congratulations, Manager Xu!"

"Congratulations, Manager Xu!"

"Manager Xu is truly young and promising!"

Although everyone present was very enthusiastic about congratulating Xu Tian on his promotion, the looks they gave him carried a hint of schadenfreude. It was clear that everyone understood what this promotion meant for Xu Tian.

"Additionally, I want to introduce someone to everyone."

Guo Qishan glanced at the second seat to his right, where a thin, monkey-like young man stood up, chest puffed out and looking high-spirited.

"This is Guo Zhihao, an agent from Tian Feng Entertainment and also my own nephew. Starting today, he will take over the position of head of the Economic Department at Qingguo Music."

"Zhihao is young and lacks experience, so I hope you will all provide him with guidance in the future."

"Guo Zong, you are too modest. Supervisor Guo is a man of talent, and his performance at the group level was quite good. I believe he will adapt to the new work environment very quickly."

"Guo Zong, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate fully with Supervisor Guo's work."

The high-level executives began to flatter Guo Qishan and Guo Zhihao one after another.

Guo Qishan looked at Xu Tian with great satisfaction and said in a high-sounding manner.

"Xu Tian, you are a great contributor to the company, and I, Guo, will definitely not treat you unfairly. Your previous workload was too heavy; take advantage of this transition period to relax. By the way, you still have annual leave left, right?"

Before Xu Tian could answer, he added.

"How about this, I'll add another twenty days for you. If that's not enough, you can apply for more. Just rest assured, Zhihao will handle things for you here at the company."

Guo Zhihao also chimed in hypocritically: "That's right, Manager Xu, just feel free to hand over the work in your hands to me. I won't let you down."

"Then I'll thank Guo Zong in advance." Xu Tian replied calmly: "When I want to take leave, I will apply to you in advance."

Seeing that Xu Tian had no displeased reaction, Guo Qishan nodded with satisfaction.

Next, he gave the high-level executives some instructions regarding company operations before announcing the end of the meeting.

After the meeting, Guo Qishan kept Xu Tian behind, ostensibly to show concern for his recent work progress, but in reality, his words were all hinting for him to know his place and cooperate well with Guo Zhihao's work.

Xu Tian was not surprised by Guo Qishan's reaction and nodded perfunctorily.

Meanwhile, after the meeting, Guo Zhihao, accompanied by his secretary, bodyguards, and an internet-famous trainee dressed like a colorful butterfly, barged into Xu Tian's office with great fanfare.

After entering the office, he walked straight behind the desk, sat down in Xu Tian's office chair in a grand manner, and crossed his legs.

"Now, where are the project contracts Xu Tian is currently handling? Give them all to me!" ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
