Chapter 421: What kind of waves can he still make?

Zhang Baishun was very dismissive of Xu Tian.

On the surface, Xu Tian was promoted to Deputy Manager of the company, but in reality, it was a demotion in disguise.

Now that he had no real power in his hands, and the parachuted supervisor of the Economic Department was Guo Qishan's own nephew, it was self-evident who would be in charge of Apple Music in the future.

Since Xu Tian had become a discarded pawn, Zhang Baishun naturally didn't need to give him face.

Just as Zhang Baishun was perfunctorily dealing with Xu Tian, he saw the high-spirited Guo Zhihao and Zhou Shishi walking towards them, beaming with joy.

Seeing Xu Tian, Guo Zhihao smiled and said to him: "Manager Xu, you can leave all this work to me in the future. Your status is now Deputy Manager; how can you personally handle such errands? If it gets out, and people in the circle mistakenly think that Qingguo Music mistreats meritorious officials, that wouldn't be good."

"Besides, Nie Jingjing is the company's number one sister. She has popularity and experience. It's not bad to let her take care of Shishi, a newcomer. Everyone progresses together!"

"Dual female leads are popular now. Audiences love to watch dramas where beautiful women fight for favor. As long as the modified script is broadcast, it will definitely occupy the number one spot on the hot search list."

"What's more, our Shishi previously participated in the recording of 'Sound of Nature' Season 2. She will definitely have a bright future. Letting Nie Jingjing cooperate with her is mutually beneficial, isn't it?"

"Ride your head!" Nie Jingjing truly couldn't stand Guo Zhihao's look of having benefited while still acting innocent. Ignoring Xu Tian's warning, she rushed over, pointed at him, and scolded: "To ride my popularity, you've even thrown away your face?"

"An internet-famous face with no work and no popularity—you have the nerve to talk to me about cooperation? Is she worthy?"

"I'll put it here today: you can let Zhou Shishi tie my shoes, but letting her play dual female leads with me? Absolutely no way!"

"If you continue to pester me so shamelessly, then I won't film. Whoever wants to play the woman being blood-sucked can do it!"

Don't look at Guo Zhihao as just a small agent before, but because he was Guo Qishan's own nephew, he was pampered at headquarters, and no one dared to give him a hard time.

At this moment, seeing Nie Jingjing tear her face off with him so unceremoniously, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

"Nie Jingjing, do you still think you're the pampered young lady? Times have changed. Without the family backing you, you are nothing!"

"Cooperating with Lemon Short Video is the most important project for the company in the second half of the year. The contract is signed. You say you'll quit, so you quit? Do you really think the company's rules are just for show?"

Guo Zhihao was not satisfied with targeting Nie Jingjing and even vented his anger on Xu Tian.

"Deputy Manager Xu, this is the good artist you brought out. You really opened my eyes today!"

Nie Jingjing's willow-leaf brows shot up, and her eyes could even spray fire.

Guo Zhihao's words just now could be said to have stepped on her pain point. Just as she was about to curse, she was pulled behind Xu Tian.

"The artist I manage doesn't need Supervisor Guo to point fingers."

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Zhihao's expression changed: "I am now the supervisor of the company's Economic Department. All the artists in the company are under my management. Can't I say a few words?"

Before Xu Tian could continue, Guo Qishan actually called him.

Guo Zhihao caught a glimpse of the caller ID and immediately puffed out his chest, with a clear look of triumph on his face.

Xu Tian, however, calmly put the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Xu Tian, Zhihao has just taken office and there are many things he doesn't understand about the company. As a senior, if he encounters things he can't handle, you should help him more."

"You are a smart person, you should know what to do, right?"

Xu Tian sneered.

This old fox, sure enough, had heard the wind and called to beat him.

"I understand, President Guo."

"It's best if you can take the overall situation into account." Guo Qishan was obviously very satisfied with Xu Tian's attitude and gave him a few more instructions before hanging up.

Guo Zhihao could guess the content of his uncle's conversation with him through Xu Tian's expression, so his expression became even more triumphant.

"Deputy Manager Xu, please give me more guidance!"

He deliberately emphasized the three words "Deputy Manager," naturally reminding Xu Tian that times had changed, and now the Economic Department of Qingguo Music was his to decide.

"My uncle asked you to cooperate with me, but you instructed the female star under you to go against me. This is not easy to handle!"

"Since you want to film dual female leads, it's not impossible."

Facing Guo Zhihao's provocation, Xu Tian's reaction was still very calm.

Guo Zhihao raised his eyebrows, a mocking smile hanging on his lips.

Wasn't this Xu Tian very arrogant just now? Now that his uncle made a phone call, didn't the other party still have to compromise and be obedient to him?

Even if Xu Tian made Murong Xue famous and improved Qingguo Music's performance, so what?

As a small nobody without capital backing, didn't he still have to obediently let him harvest the ripe fruits?

Guo Zhihao, relying on the backing of his own uncle Guo Qishan, could be said to have his tail raised to the sky, fearless.

He didn't need any innovative planning at all. As long as he was willing to spend money to feed resources to Zhou Shishi, even if she was a transparent person from the 180th line, he could find a way to make her an international superstar.

Of course, this was just the first step.

Once he increased Zhou Shishi's value, he could legitimately take over the artists and resources under Xu Tian. By then, this Qingguo Music, which had come back to life in Xu Tian's hands, would completely become his.

Guo Zhihao was immersed in his beautiful fantasy and didn't notice Xu Tian's subtext at all, answering very perfunctorily.

"Since you agree, don't drag your feet."

"I originally didn't recommend dual female lead filming, but since Supervisor Guo, you have already reached an agreement with Manager Zhang, then I have nothing to say."

"But ugly words first: I will not be responsible for any negative impact caused after the finished short drama comes out. It will all be handled by you. Do you agree?"

"Hehe, no problem." Guo Zhihao was dismissive, thinking this was Xu Tian's angry words after running out of tricks: "Since this project was finalized by me with Manager Zhang, I should naturally take all responsibility. 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 at all.

What kind of waves can a person who has already lost power make?

Guo Zhihao saw that Xu Tian finally loosened up, turned his head to look at Nie Jingjing, who was still as cold as frost.

"Nie Jingjing, now that Xu Tian has nodded in agreement, do you still want to go against me?"

Nie Jingjing didn't expect Xu Tian to agree to such an unreasonable request from Guo Zhihao, and agree so readily. She looked at Xu Tian in disbelief.

"Mr. Xu, I don't want to film dual female leads with a 180th-line internet-famous snake-spirit face!"

"Why did you agree to them?" ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
