Chapter 309: Even a rose in the mud is still called a rose

But Jiang Cheng had never objected to employees being confident; he always thought his employees should be tougher—what's wrong with facing some doubts?

Only after facing doubts and showing one's attitude can one turn the tables.

Moreover, given Lu Shiye's situation, even if he were as humble as possible, he would not receive kind words; instead, people would only cast mocking glances at him, thinking he is an old-timer in the Entertainment Circle who never made it big.

The reason he stepped forward now is merely to hype up his past fame, but he never had any good reputation to begin with—rather, it was fans' disappointment.

I think even if a rose grows in mud, once washed clean it is still a rose; as a rose, everyone is the same—why should a withered rose be despised? Don't worry, even if you have only a rose petal, I will make you into a whole rose.

Jiang Cheng's words made Lu Shiye feel especially grateful at that moment; he never expected the boss to have such high hopes for him, originally thinking the boss was joking and that his goal was too grandiose.

But he is already so old that he doesn't care if the boss mocks him, as long as he can develop.

But now the boss has given him too many conditions of trust; if he does not rise, he will let down the boss's expectations.

Only after they finished talking did the secretary walk into the office with a sigh, producing the freshly signed training camp contract and placing it before Jiang Cheng.

After all, they had trained a batch of fresh meat, whose abilities were not bad, but they forcibly added an extra slot.

"It's fine; even if I compete with young people, I will definitely work hard and not fall behind them—even if my stamina is lacking, I will train it hard."

"Thank you for your trust, boss; rest assured, I will definitely work hard and never let down your expectations—no matter how big the brand, I can handle it; from now on, even if others mock me, I will speak with my ability."

At first the secretary did have some opinions about Lu Shiye, but after the earlier conversation he realized he had none; he found the boy before him surpassed his imagination. He originally thought Lu Shiye would certainly not meet his expectations, never expecting that the person's cognition and insight had not fallen behind these years.

He and the secretary spoke seriously, getting into a selfless state; Jiang Cheng listened nearby and felt Lu Shiye was quite earnest, at least never deviating in self-awareness.

Jiang Cheng worked straight in the office for several days, basically having no time to see his wife; sure enough, one afternoon the investor behind him came over.

On the road to success, some noisy voices are normal; if no one mocks you and no one doubts you, you will never be able to progress.

The secretary spoke frankly, merely hoping Lu Shiye would think it through: in today's competition, everyone likes some fresh meat, while Lu Shiye is already over thirty, past the age of fresh meat.

This is what Lu Shiye just signed, and it is the specific item of the training camp, which was originally reserved for the company's fresh meat.

The secretary worried a bit for him, after all, how could an ordinary person contend with capitalists? Jiang Cheng had long known who the secretary wanted to replace, what style the secretary worked in, and he was still clear about it in his mind.

In front of the capitalist, Lu Shiye has already failed once; must he fail again this time? His singing ability has probably declined too; re-entering the entertainment circle is doubly difficult, and even retraining a skill would be especially hard.

But the assistant beside him, upon hearing Lu Shiye's bold words, merely shook his head; their boss sometimes does not raise any objections regarding employees.

The investor is a wealthy woman wearing a red dress, although she has used very good skincare products.

Nevertheless, one could see through the foundation the wrinkles on her face; the other party was especially dissatisfied and immediately threw her bag onto the table.

"Don't worry, since we've already replaced that person, you don't need to worry either; you don't have to report the rest to me—just go ahead and do it; as for them coming to our door, that's my concern."

"Boss, take a look: the fresh meat you previously thought had bad character has already been replaced, but they have backing behind them, so they were easily swapped out without having to endure any gossip or even being questioned; as for Lu Shiye, though, we don't know if he can withstand it."

Only when one recognizes oneself can one make progress; Lu Shiye at least has not been arrogant in this regard.

It's because the boss is a kind person, but do the employees really have no idea? "Since it's arranged by the boss, I'll immediately allocate some resources for you; as for whether you can become popular, that's your own affair. Recently there is a training camp, but most of those in it are teenagers in their teens, just starting to develop, in the prime of youth and strength, and with the company's packaging, the competition pressure will be great once you go there."

As expected, the secretary knew the boss certainly thought that way, and he felt assured to let go and act; as long as the boss backed him from behind, whatever he did would have the boss as a safety net.

As for variety-show effects and the like, Lu Shiye may need to cultivate them.

Moreover, his singing is also excellent; it seems the boss has discovered a treasure, and the boss's eye for people has never been poor.

In that case, he can also be considered a pretty good person.

In terms of mindset, Lu Shiye has basically been trained over the past few years to be especially tranquil.

"Why replace my Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu handles things especially meticulously, and his ability is also quite good; he is someone I invested in—if you remove him, I will not choose to invest, I will withdraw my investment, and I will let everyone know you conducted backroom dealings."

The female investor was especially angry; last night Xiao Yu ran to her side and told her everything that had happened at the company, crying like pear blossoms with rain, which made her feel heartbroken.

Thinking she must today seek justice for Xiao Yu, she could not wait any longer and came to the CEO's office.

The other party sprayed spit as they spoke; Jiang Cheng had the secretary pour two cups of coffee, placing one in front of the wealthy woman.

He crossed his legs, sat comfortably on the sofa, and watched the wealthy woman lose her temper. (End of chapter)
