74. It's better to promote Zheng Ning than to promote them!
The old chairman launched into a tirade, while the senior leaders below remained as docile as quails, not daring to utter a sound.
He went on and on, criticizing everyone from the group's CEO to the middle-level managers, without repeating a single word in half an hour.
Finally, Chairman Wang, exhausted from his tirade, sat down and breathed heavily.
"Fortunately, we made some progress in discovering and cultivating new talent last December, so I didn't completely lose face."
He picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and caught his breath before continuing.
"Look at the singers you've promoted this time. They're all big names, and the songs you've given them are all masterpieces by famous artists."
"But the results? They're simply appalling!"
As he spoke, the veins on his forehead began to bulge again.
"I think you guys really don't know who to promote, and you don't have the eye to discover and select talent. You might as well just give Zheng Ning a proper boost!"
"At least they wrote their own songs and sang them themselves. No matter what the process was like, the result was that they won both the championship and the runner-up."
"It's the same as throwing money at it, investing resources and channels, so I think investing in Zheng Ning is a much better option."
"You lot, perhaps you've been in high positions for too long, and your vision and energy are now limited to internal strife and infighting. Where is the spirit and drive we had when we were building our empire?"
His imposing gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes revealing a mixture of anger and frustration at their lack of progress.
"To outsiders, all of us Feiyang are the third oldest."
"But among these top three giants, everyone knows that we've truly become the undisputed junior, the third-ranked one?"
He patted his face with his hand.
Have some shame, I'm telling you, have some shame.
After saying that, he stood up, supporting himself on the table with both hands.
"Alright, that's enough said. No need for further emphasis. Now, you can discuss and plan your future path carefully."
After saying that, he left the conference room with the help of his assistant.
All the senior executives stood up and watched him leave the conference room before finally letting out a heavy sigh of relief.
Everyone slumped into their luxurious office chairs as if they were drowning people who had finally reached the shore.
"Wow... Brother Jiang is really awesome!"
Zheng Ning looked at the new rankings and felt a sense of utter horror.
That's the power of celebrity appeal; no wonder so many people are desperate to become famous.
"I really want to be famous too," Zheng Ning suddenly thought.
Of course, Zheng Ning had no idea that such a big thing had happened at Feiyang Entertainment's headquarters; he simply thought it was because Jiang Zhiping's fans were incredibly supportive.
They would never know that Feiyang has now made him their top priority this year, determined to make him a huge star to prove the old chairman's foresight and to wash away the shame of the senior executives. They have begun to treat him with the same resources and support as an A-list celebrity, sparing no effort in promoting and building momentum for him in all aspects.
"Xiao Ning, I'm starting to really don't understand you! You're a newcomer, so even if your songs are great and your voice is amazing, how did you manage to rank so high? I don't remember Andy Lau being this popular when he first debuted!"
Old Long, dressed in a Taoist robe, looked at Zheng Ning in the office as if she were an alien.
Wang Hui, standing to the side, was also very surprised. He had a lollipop in his mouth but hadn't taken a bite for a long time, just staring blankly at the ranking on his phone.
"I remember when Andy Lau first debuted, his first song only ranked around 2000th in the charts that month. And this was a new star that Guangmang Entertainment was heavily promoting..."
Sister Chen, who was standing to the side, was also looking at Zheng Ning with starry eyes. She felt that this young man was not only handsome, but also very lucky!
Not only did they sweep the championship and runner-up titles when they were newcomers.
Even right after being promoted, they managed to break into the top 500 in their first month! This is something many established stars never achieved when they were newcomers!
"Perhaps... it's because you ate the Lucky Baby cake I gave you before?"
Wang Xiaoyu, who was dressed in an exaggerated velvet fox coat to cosplay as a fox spirit, blinked her big eyes in a somewhat silly and cute way.
"Hehe, just kidding. The real reason is that your two songs are of very high quality! To be honest, if I were to write them, I couldn't write songs with such a novel style."
As she spoke, she handed Zheng Ning a bag of pork floss pastries and chuckled.
"Furthermore, as far as I know, some professors at our school have already started studying your work, and they feel that your songs have a strong futuristic style and are of great research value..."
"They even asked me when you'd have time, wanting to chat and ask you how such an innovative song like 'Tornado' was written!"
