Chapter 1294 - 1293: Who Is Qualified in the PR Department?
"Oh my, since you’ve come to our company, you must trust us more. Why do you keep mentioning others? No worries, as long as you’re here, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. Tell me, what do you need? I’ll make sure it’s ready for you!"
Seeing President Yang’s attitude, Yang Meili was particularly pleased and extended her finger: "Let me put it this way, I want the full share for my dramas, but we can split the advertisement revenue fifty-fifty!"
"And my assistant must be someone I’m satisfied with. If I’m not pleased, then you’ll have to find another for me."
Upon hearing Yang Meili’s demands, President Yang’s face turned gloomy. After all, Yang Meili has always been filming dramas. If she takes the full share from her dramas, the company gets no commission, and the advertisements don’t amount to much.
"Is this some kind of extortion? In all these years, I haven’t seen such an unreasonable demand," thought President Yang as his face turned ugly. Meanwhile, Yang Meili believed she had hit a nerve, snickering as she thought she had found his weak spot.
"I think Miss Yang might be overestimating herself. You don’t leave us any share from your dramas, want us to find you an assistant, and expect us to pamper you completely. We’re operating at a loss here."
"No, you’re not losing money. There’s still the advertisement revenue, and my fees for attending advertisements aren’t cheap!"
President Yang simply waved his hand, not wanting to converse with Yang Meili anymore. When Yang Meili first arrived, President Yang thought this would be a boon for his company. But now it seemed less like an opportunity for growth and more like driving the company to its demise.
"I fear we cannot meet Miss Yang’s demands. Please find someone else more capable. We simply can’t accommodate this. Goodbye, Miss Yang, we won’t see you off."
Upon seeing this, Yang Meili immediately panicked, losing the assertiveness she had when she first came in. President Yang snickered. No matter how formidable, she’s just an actress, really overvaluing herself. Yang Meili sat back down, placing her hands and feet correctly.
"President Yang, can’t we negotiate? If we can’t agree, we can change the terms. How about we split the drama revenue 70-30, I take 70, and the advertisements remain fifty-fifty!"
President Yang turned his chair and looked at his documents. It was clear Yang Meili was desperately in need of him. Why rush? Seeing that President Yang was ignoring her, Yang Meili became extremely anxious. Without a contract from Xiao Group, where would she go after leaving Xinran Company?
"How about this, let’s go with the terms your company offers, a fifty-fifty split, but you must give me the best recommendation. Without the best, I won’t agree."
President Yang’s mood brightened instantly, smiling at Yang Meili: "Now you’re talking, Miss Yang. People must be self-aware. Especially since your contract with Xinran has been terminated, what’s left to be proud of? Okay, since you’ve decided, I’ll have the secretary bring a contract for you to sign. By tomorrow, you can start taking jobs with our company. And the best recommendation is of course reserved for you."
At this moment, Yang Meili didn’t know how she felt, having conceded so much, yet feeling somehow deceived after getting agreement.
She signed the contract in a daze.
As Yang Meili left, Secretary Zhou finally entered with a cup of coffee, watching Yang Meili’s back: "Boss, don’t you think Yang Meili is different from the rumors? And even though our company treasured her, why would they suddenly terminate her contract?"
"Without Yang Meili, there’s no Xinran Company. People wouldn’t even know of Xinran Company. They’ve practically given away their heirloom."
President Yang also couldn’t understand. According to Xinran Company, they relied entirely on Yang Meili. They should have done everything to keep her. Unable to make sense of it, he could only shake his head.
"Whatever, we’ve signed her now. If Xinran Company comes back for her, that’s impossible."
"Anyway, today we made a great deal. Tomorrow, bring over those scripts and let her choose carefully. Whichever she prefers, she’ll act in. Also, find her an assistant. Bring in a few more for her to choose the best fit."
As Yang Meili was leaving, she saw Lan Tian driving. She marched up in her high heels, blocking the car. Lan Tian had to get out to see what she wanted.
"Look, we’ve got no beef, you’ve already wronged me once. Now blocking my car, what do you want? If you don’t care about your life, I can just drive over you and call it even."
Yang Meili tossed her hair to one side, admiring her red nails: "Sorry to bring you some bad news, but I’ve just signed with Xiao Group’s entertainment company, the same as yours. And I rank much higher than you. We’ll settle our scores slowly, but if you’re scared now, maybe barking like a dog can soothe me and earn my forgiveness."
Lan Tian couldn’t believe it. Yang Meili signing with his entertainment company today? Impossible.
Her contract with Xinran wasn’t expired. Did she breach it? Impossible, their penalty fees are enormous.
So Lan Tian dismissed it, turning away from the prima donna: "I must have been blind to consider you a friend. We’re not friends now, so please step aside. I’m not responsible for whatever happens next."
With that, Lan Tian got back in his car, and Yang Meili, seeing how serious he was, quickly lifted her purse from his hood and scurried out of the way.
"Just wait, Lan Tian. Now you dare to defy me? Your wings have grown, haven’t they? Think I can’t deal with you? Now I’ve signed with your company. Fine, we’ll see. As long as I have something to eat there, you won’t even get a bone."
Secretary Zhou heard the next day that the head of the PR department was fired overnight by the president, and didn’t understand what had happened, his breakfast stopped mid-bite, jaw dropping.
"Wasn’t the task just assigned to the PR department yesterday? How is it that the head’s fired before the plan is even submitted? Impossible, are you joking? Without Yang Xiao, who can handle PR?"
