The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 116 Workplace
"Have you contacted them? What did they say?"

Lu Nanting sat up and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.

In the entertainment industry, it's perfectly normal for rivals to scheme against each other.

The incident happened suddenly, and at first the staff there may have been overwhelmed and thought that their boss had done something wrong and would get himself into trouble. But after reviewing the situation, it was clear who was behind it.

The entertainment industry is really not that big.

Lu Nanting has a powerful background, and no one dares to mess with him normally. But now he has crushed people to the bottom. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Xiao Han's career has collapsed, and he can never work in this industry again. It's normal for him to be desperate and seek revenge now.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they're only staring at Gu Lanxi now.

Gu Lanxi had never offended them; their true intentions lay elsewhere.

Before long, the flames of war will reach his side.

Xiao Han's agent has always been his older brother, who is not a professional agent.

If other agents encountered this situation, knowing he was not someone to be trifled with, they might have swallowed their anger and chosen to start over, continuing to train new talent.

Someone like him, without his brother, would never be so blind as to follow him.

The two are bound by shared interests; if one collapses, the other will naturally feel resentful.

The final outcome, naturally, was a complete breakdown, with the animal going on a rampage of biting and savagery.

“I’ve contacted them, but they didn’t say it directly. They just spoke sarcastically, saying that the two brothers have both retired from the entertainment industry and that things in the industry have nothing to do with them. Moreover, Xiao Han is currently facing rape charges. From what I heard, they probably want you to help his brother get off the hook.”

Lu Nanting frowned.

"Suppress the trending topics and delete those negative stories. Ignore everything else. We won't get involved in illegal or criminal activities. Do you really think the law is a joke?"

Fan Tiantian didn't understand Gu Lanxi and was afraid that someone would dig up dirt on her, so she called her boss in the middle of the night to remind him.

Lu Nanting knew very well that apart from her terrible family background, his wife had always been a person with sound values ​​and a positive outlook. She could withstand the test of haters and was not afraid at all.

Suppressing trending topics and deleting negative information are routine public relations operations, very simple procedures.

"Ah."

Fan Tiantian agreed, but did not hang up the phone.

"Anything else?"

Lu Nanting was also very perceptive.

But he sensed something was wrong, though he couldn't quite figure out what it was.

Fan Tiantian hesitated for a moment, but then decisively spoke up:

"Yeah, should we contact Brother Yong?"

Gu Lanxi is an artist under Tao Yong's management, so logically, her public relations issues should be resolved by the company.

Although Lu Nanting Studio is still affiliated with Starlight, all its work is carried out independently.

Gu Lanxi has always kept a low profile. Apart from acting, she doesn't take on many other jobs and has never been independent.

Fan Tiantian is Lu Nanting's public relations manager, not Gu Lanxi's. She can work for Lu Nanting, but there is no reason for her to receive one salary while doing the work of two people.

She had already helped Gu Lanxi once before, and Lu Nanting promised to give her a raise, which he did. But she couldn't bring up a raise every time she helped Gu Lanxi.

Now the boss is giving orders more and more easily, and if we don't raise our objections in time, it will become a habit.

Gu Lanxi rarely encountered trouble in the past, but that was because she kept a low profile.

Now that she and Lu Nanting are married, their relationship is about to be exposed, and their CP (couple) supertopic has become more formalized. No matter how low-key she tries to be in the future, it won't make a difference.

Fan Tiantian doesn't want to work herself to death.

If she were a newcomer to the workplace, she might have simply swallowed her anger and silently done the work, but she wasn't.

Besides, even if she agreed, what reason could she give to wake her subordinates up to work overtime in the middle of the night?

The boss's wife is in trouble. Get up quickly and solve it for the boss.
She's not that obsequious.

If you help the boss's wife this time, will you also have to help her if any of the boss's relatives get into trouble next time?
For those in the workplace, their job scope should be clearly defined.

Given the inseparable bond between the boss and his wife, she could cooperate with the boss's wife's PR team, but she would never work as a PR person for the boss's wife for free.

If the boss oversteps his/her boundaries, you should remind him/her.

Fan Tiantian spoke tactfully, but Lu Nanting understood immediately.

After a moment of silence, Fan Tiantian heard him chuckle softly and then hang up the phone.

She felt uneasy, but ultimately she stuck to her principles. Although the boss offered a high salary, she felt her abilities deserved it.

Lu Nanting hung up the phone, stared at his phone for a while with a blank expression, and was about to call his uncle when his phone rang.

Seeing that it was Gu Lanxi, he took a deep breath and answered the call.

Gu Lanxi was woken up in the middle of the night by a knock on the door.

However, Aunt Wang, who was often sleepy, noticed something was wrong while browsing Weibo, thanks to her twenty-odd years of professional experience. After a moment's consideration, she decisively woke her up.

The boss got married, and his partner is a top male celebrity. There will definitely be more and more of these kinds of things that get him criticized and trending on social media in the future.

However, the boss did not take any corresponding measures, but instead entrusted his safety to Lu Nanting, which Aunt Wang felt was inappropriate.

Taking advantage of this incident, she subtly hinted at two things to Gu Lanxi:

"The things that happened when you were little were trending on social media once, but they disappeared by daybreak, so I didn't tell you. Maybe it's inappropriate for me to say this, but you still need to wear the armor yourself to protect yourself at all times. What do you think?"

The matter has escalated and become a trending topic. Tao Yong's agent has not called, the company has not taken any countermeasures, and Lu Nanting has not reacted this time either.

In the middle of the night, Gu Lanxi was woken up in a daze. Her mind went on for a moment before she understood what was going on.

Lu Nanting couldn't possibly ignore her. The only reason he didn't respond was that his request had been rejected by his subordinates.

The poor young master grew up in a smooth and easy way, never experiencing the harsh realities of society. He couldn't empathize with people in the workplace and thought the whole world should obey his orders.

You must be feeling very sad right now.

After thanking Aunt Wang, Gu Lanxi returned to her room and immediately called the headhunter she knew.

I'm currently setting up a new company, starting from scratch, and the most important thing is to find talent.

She has a significant talent shortage, so she naturally needs to work closely with headhunting firms.

MCN companies incubate and manage internet celebrities, and profit from them. The staff they need largely overlaps with those working in the entertainment industry.

The headhunting firm she chose is a leader in the new media and entertainment industry. To better serve her as a super VIP, they recently assigned a senior headhunter to work with her 24/7.

Even if she suddenly realizes at three or four in the morning that she needs someone, she can call them and they will listen attentively and recommend suitable candidates.

Gu Lanxi usually goes to bed early, and this was the first time she had made a phone call in the middle of the night.

The person on the other end, thinking it was something extremely urgent, responded with utmost respect upon receiving the call.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, what instructions do you have?"

Gu Lanxi liked this efficient communication method and nodded in satisfaction.

"I need a new agent. I need to poach Mei Xue, Xiao Han's PR manager. Also, check if there are any suitable talents in his team. If so, bring them over as a package deal. I'm planning to set up my own studio."

"Okay, Mr. Gu, is it urgent for you? Should I contact you now?"

Gu Lanxi thought for a moment and shook her head: "No need, we can do it during working hours. It can be done within three days. I'm going down the mountain next week anyway, so I can take care of the paperwork then."

The headhunter, being observant and perceptive, immediately understood.

The employer desperately needs these people, but she can't show any eagerness and lose face.

"Okay, I'll contact you when it's light."

With a clear target, all he needs to do is contact the person, inquire about their intentions, and negotiate terms.

"Yes, you must let me see your abilities."

She never says things like "Then I'll trouble you" or "Please put in a lot of effort."

He expressed his firm stance and hung up the phone.

She didn't care whether the headhunter got up overnight to check Xiao Han's team's information, manage their image, and prepare for negotiations.

If he can't even poach someone who is in a career crisis and has a clear identity, then Gu Lanxi should immediately change headhunters, or even change headhunting companies.

Okay, pay attention, remember this:
The essence of capital is plunder.

Xi Bao is a capitalist, with a capitalist mindset, and his way of doing things is completely different from that of ordinary artists.

She doesn't play that game.

Solving problems is never as efficient as dealing with the people who create them.

Xiao Han went inside to operate the sewing machine. His brother will soon be arrested and imprisoned too. A group of staff members are changing jobs to collect their wages. How wonderful!
The next chapter will be about Xi Bao disciplining her husband.

A couple needs to work through their differences, not just in terms of physical intimacy, but also in gradually aligning their thinking.
