The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 631 - 126: By saying it like that, it seems like I’m the one who should be at fault?_2

But... there are no ifs in this world.

Asking her to speak to Song Qiao in person was something she couldn’t bring herself to do, so she thought of her close girlfriend.

Having heard the girl’s words, Song Qiao finally understood. It turned out the girl was here for the invitation from Huayi Group that Song Qiao held.

If Zhuo Silin hadn’t proactively asked to switch to Li Xin’s management that morning, perhaps Song Qiao would have considered taking Zhuo Silin along.

But in this world, there really are no ifs. Many things can’t be redone, and it’s not only Ouyang Qian who knows she only has two artists at hand, but he also told her that taking Qin Zhe and An Ke would suffice.

More importantly, Lu Jingchen also knows that she only has two artists, and it is Qin Zhe and An Ke whom Lu Jingchen regards highly.

Even if no one opposed her taking three people to the audition, she wouldn’t take Zhuo Silin.

Firstly, after looking over the information about that film, there isn’t a single role that fits Zhuo Silin’s temperament.

Secondly... I’m sorry, but I’ve never been very magnanimous. When everyone else is causing trouble for me behind my back, I don’t need to bring someone who dislikes me along.

The company has always had a rule: if the artists under one’s management aren’t handled well and are actively requested to be transferred to another agent, not only would there be a deduction in the bonus, but it would also create obstacles for future promotions.

Reaching forward to tuck her fallen hair behind her ear, Song Qiao looked at the girl in front of her with a smile and said, "Didn’t Zhuo Silin tell you that it was her own decision not wanting me to manage her and that she took the initiative to switch agents? And I can only take two artists with me, so... I won’t be bringing Zhuo Silin along!"

Song Qiao almost left no room for discussion as she directly rejected the girl in front of her.

The girl’s complexion changed, her emotions suddenly becoming agitated, "Since you have two invitations in your hands, why don’t you just bring Qin Zhe and Silin along? In terms of family background and looks, Silin is much better than that An Ke you manage. Besides having a pretty face, An Ke is completely useless, and her family is poor and riddled with debt."

"Bang!" The sound of something heavy hitting the floor interrupted them.

Song Qiao and the girl both looked toward the source of the noise, only to see An Ke, dressed plainly, and Qin Zhe standing not far away. The former had a somewhat pale face, with a thermal container on the ground next to her, while the latter was squinting at the girl.

Seeing An Ke’s slightly pale face, Song Qiao’s expression suddenly changed. She turned around to face the girl in front of her and continued, "As I said, I won’t take Zhuo Silin for the audition at Huayi Group. Zhuo Silin is now under Li Xin’s management. And if I remember correctly, you are one of her artists as well, aren’t you? Didn’t she teach you how to speak respectfully to your elders?"

"You..." The girl’s face immediately went through a play of red and white, wanting to say something but ultimately unable to voice it out. After giving a glare at An Ke, she left in a huff.

Song Qiao didn’t continue to pay attention to the girl but instead turned around and walked over to An Ke and Qin Zhe. She bent down to pick up the dropped thermal container and handed it to An Ke, her smile returning as she looked at them, "Are you two here to see me? Come in, I have something to discuss with you both."

At this time, many colleagues were slowly entering the office, and although they had just witnessed the scene, everyone acted as if they hadn’t seen anything.

After all, it wasn’t the first time they’d encountered such a situation.

An Ke hastily took the thermal container from Song Qiao, her small face showing a faint sadness, quite unlike her usual self. Her lips quivered but she said nothing in the end.

Song Qiao knew that the words of the girl had hurt her. For a moment, she couldn’t think of any words of comfort and simply led them back to her own office area.

Sitting at her desk, with An Ke and Qin Zhe standing beside her, Song Qiao looked at them. "You both know about Huayi Group, right?"

Qin Zhe hummed an affirmative, and An Ke quickly nodded.

Song Qiao took out two sets of documents about the new movie from Huayi Group from her bag and handed them to the two, saying, "This is about the movie Huayi Group is planning to shoot. Someone there saw potential in both of you and sent invitations for you to audition. Have a look."

Upon hearing this, both glanced at each other, with a hint of brightness flashing in An Ke’s eyes.

Song Qiao continued with a smile, "First, read through the introduction of this movie, then go back to the dormitory and change. Meet me downstairs in the company in half an hour. I’ll take you both there. Understood?"

Both continued to nod.

Song Qiao smiled with satisfaction, thinking she might have needed to explain further, almost forgetting they were both indeed very smart.

Turning her attention to An Ke, Song Qiao contemplated for a moment before speaking, "An Ke, on the path of an artist, there’s still a lot for you to learn. Often, you don’t need to care so much about others’ opinions of you, because those people are simply jealous. In my opinion, both you and Qin Zhe are very talented artists. If you truly want to prove yourself, you’ll need to work harder, learn more, and when you succeed, people will naturally respect you. Understand?"
