Chapter 308: Arrange the best channel for him

After carefully examining the contract, Lu Shiye found that these contracts were better than any he had seen before, with no hegemony, only respect for the singers, benefiting the company while also safeguarding the singers' interests.

The contract from this company was something he had never seen before, and he had found the right person.

When his friend recommended him to come, he still thought a big company would not want a singer like him.

Now he understood that only a big company could have a tolerant boss and a patron who appreciates talent.

"Thank you, boss. I am especially satisfied with this contract. After signing, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me—I can start as a cleaner, I'm not afraid of losing face."

After years of refinement, Lu Shiye felt he could start from the bottom, endure hardship, and serve as an assistant to other singers.

But once he seizes an opportunity, he will cling to it and never let go, even to death, and he will make everyone see his brilliance.

Seeing the ambition brewing in the man before him, Jiang Cheng knew these were the ambitions he needed; he lightly tapped his finger on the table, good, this person met his hiring standards.

"Since you're already prepared, I have nothing more to say. Pack your things and come with me tomorrow."

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Lu Shiye froze, wondering where tomorrow he was supposed to go—hadn't he just arrived at the company?

Could it be that tomorrow they will arrange for him to go to a stage where he can showcase himself?

Seeing his serious doubt, Jiang Cheng explained: "Although your singing skills over the past few years have shown no decline, even some improvement, your image management is lacking, so tomorrow we will work on your image design."

"Since I have decided to take you on, I will not shelve you; I will treat you as a flawless gem, carefully polishing you until you step onto the stage—that will be when I feel the greatest sense of belonging."

After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Lu Shiye was deeply moved; indeed, although they are singers, they also need some image design.

If the boss steps in, that would be great—he could save some money.

Relying on his own meager funds would hardly be enough to hire a good image designer, but if the boss arranges it for him, he will surely make a stunning debut.

Feeling the boss's goodwill, he followed behind.

Jiang Cheng had him report to HR, and at the same time told his secretary beside him, "Arrange the best channel for him; any upcoming activity that could showcase his talent must be given to him."

After hearing the boss's words, the secretary hesitated a bit, for the company had many singers and actors; if they pushed everything to this person, what would become of the others? Would they be left to fend for themselves? If so, those singers and actors would surely be dissatisfied and might even cause trouble.

Everyone had been at the company for a long time, and the company had promised them that when good resources arose, they would be considered; they had created huge profits for the company, so they deserved the best opportunities.

"Boss, this isn't right; if the other singers find out, they will surely cause trouble, for they have created great value for the company, yet now we give the best opportunities to someone else—they will certainly be unhappy and might even provoke other issues."

Hearing what his secretary said, Jiang Cheng could understand that there is indeed competition among singers, but company arrangements are also important. If someone dares to defy the company's arrangements, that is essentially opposing the company; since he did this, he must have his own considerations.

"Lu Shiye himself already had a certain fan base back then; we only need to give him a push, and he will immediately become a big hit. As for the other singers, I have other arrangements, and besides, Lu Shiye is just one person—could he possibly take up all the activities?"

The secretary thought it over carefully and suddenly realized—of course, it's their boss.

However, Lu Shiye had just arrived, and the boss already set him up in such a high‑difficulty competition; surely the other singers in the company will not be satisfied, not only dissatisfied but might even target Lu Shiye.

By then, even if Lu Shiye truly becomes famous, there will still be some gossip and rumors; those scandals would be enough for him to endure, but it's uncertain whether that shy young man from earlier can withstand it.

"Boss, by doing this you are making enemies for him, and the other singers in the company will also find him unfamiliar; those rumors and gossip..."

will make everyone think Lu Shiye is stealing the seniors' path and the youths' path.

If these comments spread, it could be deadly; moreover, given how highly Jiang Cheng praises him, it might even implicate their boss.

Jiang Cheng watched the secretary's furrowed brows, truly not knowing what the secretary was thinking; in his view, the secretary works for himself, and whatever decision he makes, the secretary just has to obey.

Where do all these objections come from?

"After all, am I the boss or are you the boss?"

"If Lu Shiye had no problem‑solving ability, do you think I would have let him join our company? Since he's already here, I believe he has tempered his mindset over these years and can now handle the present issues; if he can't, then he would be unworthy of my esteem."

Someone like him, who has been shelved for years, having seized an opportunity, how could a mere trifle affect his promotion channel?

Lu Shiye had just finished his HR paperwork when he overheard the conversation between Jiang Cheng and the secretary.

He especially thanked Jiang Cheng for his trust, and he also felt that those issues, in his view, were trivial.

"Boss, rest assured; everyone who enters this circle carries some gossip, but I will not implicate the company or you; no matter how many rumors, in the face of absolute strength they will collapse, and I will use my strength to completely silence them."

Even if people misunderstand him at first, given time, as long as he shows genuine ability, everyone will come to understand right from wrong.

No one will wrong a good person; everyone is rational, especially nowadays, which is not like before.

Upon hearing Lu Shiye speak, the secretary also felt dizzy with anger.

He felt that this person's thinking was too simplistic; the boss may think highly of him, but he must not become overly arrogant and complacent—in this matter he should still remain composed. (End of chapter)
