Chapter 432
"This Xu Tian is really bold; he actually poached both of Qingguo Music's top trending female artists right in front of Guo Zhihao, and even added fashion circle favorite Yan Qingxue. This is a huge blow to Qingguo Music!"
"Xu Tian's success couldn't have happened without Qingguo Music's cultivation. Now that he's turning around to take away Qingguo Music's cash cow, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"I think so too... isn't this being an ungrateful wretch?"
"Returning kindness with enmity; which company will dare to use him in the future?"
Just as the staff were whispering and making many criticisms about Xu Tian's actions, someone who knew the inside story spoke up.
"What's inappropriate about it? The reputation of Qingguo's number one star Nie Jingjing, whom you're talking about, was saved by Xu Tian. If it weren't for Xu Tian, Nie Jingjing would have already been notorious when she was framed by Zhang Qingqing and Song Jiamo before."
"And Murong Xue, before Xu Tian came to Qingguo Music, she was just a transparent person being shelved. It was Xu Tian who discovered her singing talent and brought her up."
"As for Yan Qingxue, she was also introduced by Xu Tian to work at Qingguo in the beginning, but after Guo Zhihao took office, he practically treated her, a manager, like an errand girl."
"Now that Xu Tian wants to resign, they're choosing to stand on Xu Tian's side, which isn't wrong at all!"
In fact, many industry insiders who have dealt with Qingguo Music know that during Xu Tian's tenure as the head of the economic department at Qingguo Music, he not only polished Murong Xue but also gave many newcomers and trainees within the company opportunities. Although they are not as famous as Murong Xue now, they have also improved significantly compared to before.
Moreover, Qingguo Music was originally a perennial bottom-performer at Tian Feng Entertainment, and it was only because of Xu Tian that the company was brought back from the brink.
Watching the whole company flourish under Xu Tian's operations, no one expected a Guo Zhihao to be air-dropped from headquarters.
"If this Guo Zhihao actually had real ability, that would be one thing, but not only does he have no ability, he also throws his weight around just because he's the nephew of Tian Feng Entertainment Guo Zong Qishan. He started snatching Xu Tian's resources and connections just a few days after arriving at the company, claiming all the credit for himself. Anyone would find this intolerable. If I were Xu Tian, I probably wouldn't have been able to endure it for so long and would have jumped ship long ago..."
The staff who didn't know the truth heard this person's explanation and realized that Xu Tian's departure was also understandable, and public opinion began to reverse.
"No way, who told Guo Zhihao to be a connection-hire with a backer?"
"That's Guo Qishan's own nephew; who could possibly manage him?"
"But don't you think Xu Tian's current resignation is very risky? Tian Feng Entertainment won't just let him take the company's most profitable artists to set up his own business or develop at other companies. If Xu Tian wants to continue staying in the entertainment industry in the future, he will inevitably be squeezed out by Tian Feng Entertainment; I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch..."
"Don't worry about Xu Tian for now; isn't Guo Zhihao the one who should be most anxious right now?"
"Hahaha, he originally wanted to snatch all of Xu Tian's credit, but didn't expect to run into a hard nut to crack; he tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice."
"Xu Tian didn't buy his little tricks at all and just walked away. He hadn't been air-dropped into Qingguo Music for long before he drove away all the people who make the most money for the company. How is he going to explain this to the Tian Feng headquarters?"
Just as the onlookers around were whispering, Guo Zhihao finally recovered from the huge shock, and his complexion visibly became ugly.
Xu Tian actually really left just like that!
What to do?
How is he going to explain it to his uncle?
And Zhou Shishi, standing beside him, also felt the disdainful or mocking gazes of the surrounding staff. She only felt like she had been slapped one after another.
Without Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, who else in the company could let her ride their popularity?
No! Her popularity had just started to improve, and she didn't want all her previous efforts to be wasted. So, with red eyes and twisting her waist, she came to Guo Zhihao, grabbed his arm, and acted like a spoiled child while crying.
"Brother Hao, these people are too much!"
"The satellite variety show you worked so hard to negotiate for the company, why do they get to say they won't record it just because they want to?"
"And you promised me before that you would let Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue accompany me to record the show and be my foils; you can't go back on your word..."
Guo Zhihao was already annoyed, and hearing Zhou Shishi deliberately pinching her voice, he became even more furious.
He roughly waved his hand to push Zhou Shishi away and roared in a low voice.
"Get aside, don't bother me!"
"Brother Hao..."
Zhou Shishi widened her eyes in disbelief, seemingly not expecting Guo Zhihao to speak to her in such an impatient tone.
"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?"
Guo Zhihao was already annoyed enough and had no heart to coax her.
Zhou Shishi was perhaps truly frightened and dared not make a scene anymore, so she had to silently retreat to the side with tears in her eyes.
"Supervisor Guo, Xu Tian wants to take Nie Jingjing and the others away; what should we do?"
Guo Zhihao's secretary held the resignation letter left by Xu Tian, spinning around in a panic.
"If Guo Zong asks about it..."
"What's the rush? Do you think Xu Tian really dares to resign?" Guo Zhihao steadied his mind and scolded: "He's just putting on an act to scare me. I don't believe he really dares to leave the company!"
Because Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue both went on strike, the recording of the show was forced to be interrupted.
And Guo Zhihao, Zhou Shishi, and the others also left the TV station in a dejected manner under the gloating eyes of the crowd.
But before Guo Zhihao could return to the company, he received a call from the General Manager's Office of Tian Feng Entertainment.
"Supervisor Guo, isn't today's schedule for Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue to participate in the recording of 'Only Love Lyrics'? Did something happen during the recording process?"
The call was from Guo Qishan's secretary, and his voice sounded very anxious and panicked.
"They were indeed supposed to participate in the recording; why do you ask?" Guo Zhihao tried to keep his tone calm, but his heart was pounding, and a vague feeling of unease arose.
"This..." The little assistant hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "Xu Tian said he wanted to resign. And he took Nie Jingjing, Murong Xue, and Manager Annie away with him."
"You should hurry to headquarters now; Guo Zong already knows about this and is throwing a tantrum!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhihao's hand shook, and his phone fell directly under the car seat.
Xu Tian actually really resigned...
Tian Feng Entertainment conference room.
Guo Qishan, with a gloomy face, asked in a stern tone.
"What exactly is going on? Why did Xu Tian resign?"
Guo Zhihao put on a look of grievance and defended himself righteously.
"Uncle, I don't know what's going on either. Maybe Xu Tian had the intention of betraying the company for a long time and wanted to take away the company's most profitable artists!"
"He is simply too outrageous, not even putting you in his eyes. You must teach him a lesson this time!"
