Chapter 539: Jointly Holding a Variety Selection
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Du Guoqing found out about Murong Qiao’s actions, he felt that the lesson he had taught the other party previously was not thorough enough.
Just as he was thinking about how to make Murong Qiao suffer, he saw Du Ming knocking on the door with an indescribable expression.
“Boss, we have a collaboration request.” Du Ming carefully glanced at Du Guoqing.
He knew that Du Guoqing was in a fit of anger, so his tone was even more careful.
Du Guoqing frowned. “Speak.”
“CG, ROE, and Chuan Nan invited us to hold a joint variety show.”
She had just s.n.a.t.c.hed the collaboration away in the afternoon and sent an invitation over tonight…
Even Du Ming had a strange evaluation of Murong Qiao.
As for the invitation to hold a variety show, it was naturally Murong Qiao’s initiative.
After she s.n.a.t.c.hed the collaboration and returned to the company, she didn’t stay idle.
“Speaking of which, how has the recruitment of new talents been recently?” Murong Qiao turned to ask Jiang Chi.
As the boss, she naturally had to pay attention to the situation of the artistes under her at all times. Ever since the plagiarism incident last time cleared out a small portion of the people, the company’s resources were almost more than those that the existing batch of artistes could handle.
Jiang Chi said honestly, “We haven’t found any good seedlings for the time being.”
The most powerful batch in the company now were the ones Murong Qiao had chosen at the beginning, An Nuo, Chi Hanjing, Xu Xiuzhu, and so on…
“We can’t keep it empty like this.” Murong Qiao frowned.
She subconsciously twirled the pen in her hand, her gaze fixed on a certain point in the air, and she fell into her own thoughts.
The company had to absorb new blood, especially those in the entertainment industry. Many artistes would be directly forgotten by the public before long.
“I’ve got it!”
Murong Qiao’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Let’s organize a variety show!”
Instead of waiting to discover a good seedling, it was better to let the good seedlings come knocking on her door.
“Jiang Chi, send an invitation to ROE and South Creek.”
Murong Qiao chose two good companies and threw them to Jiang Chi. Just the name CG alone was definitely not enough, but with the cooperation of a few companies, the scale of the variety show would be magnified and advertised. There would definitely be enough artistes to choose from.
Jiang Chi naturally had no objections to his boss’s decision.
However, just as he was about to leave, Murong Qiao suddenly called out to Jiang Chi.
“By the way, send one to Du Entertainment too.”
She had almost forgotten about this.
Murong Qiao didn’t have the slightest psychological burden of s.n.a.t.c.hing the other party’s collaboration away just now. She was smiling as if she was looking forward to a good show.
At this moment, Du Guoqing should also know that Silence had changed partners. If she sent another message to the other party at this time, Murong Qiao felt a little regretful that she couldn’t see Du Guoqing’s exciting expression when he received the news.
Organizing a variety show talent show could be said to be beneficial to the various companies without any harm. From the company’s point of view, Du Guoqing would definitely agree to a business that would definitely make a profit.
However, she had just s.n.a.t.c.hed the other party’s collaboration. The anger in Du Guoqing’s heart was suppressed by her again. It was surely very unbearable.
Murong Qiao’s intentions were obvious, so Du Guoqing naturally could tell.
“Then, Boss, we…” Du Ming said tentatively.
Du Guoqing’s thoughts had always been difficult to read. Even Du Ming was afraid that Du Guoqing would flare up after following him for five years.
“Agree to it.”
Du Guoqing’s tense expression suddenly relaxed. “This collaboration idea is indeed not bad.”
He supported his face with his right hand and looked at the invitation email on the screen. Many complicated emotions flashed across his eyes, and as he judged the results in his heart, they finally turned calm.
“How can money placed in front of us not be picked up?” Du Guoqing suddenly laughed again.
As if he had forgotten that Murong Qiao had s.n.a.t.c.hed the collaboration from Silence, he calmly accepted the invitation.
However, only Du Guoqing himself knew if he was as calm as he looked.
Soon, the news that the four companies were jointly holding a variety show spread online and became quite popular.
The efficiency of the four companies working together was very fast. The variety show venue included the director and other matters. It was already prepared in less than half a month.
It was worth mentioning that as a special guest, Murong Qiao would also appear on the show to interact with the contestants.
“BAS, Chi Hanjing, Shi Yang, Xu Xiuzhu, and even Cang Nanrong were all personally chosen by CG. Just based on this, you can afford to be a special guest.”
These were Director Xu Zhuo’s exact words.
Other than the three invited judges, Murong Qiao’s appearance as a special guest could be considered a surprise for the show.
Of course, Director Xu Zhuo also admitted that he did have the intention of riding on the popularity. After all, Murong Qiao had gained a certain level of fame not long ago.
Whether it was those who joined in the fun or those who really wanted to be artistes, the majestic audition segment finally came to an end after three days. In the end, there were a total of 150 people who were screened.
Among these 150 people, only seven people could really obtain the chance to debut in the end.
When it was time for the preliminaries and rehearsal, Murong Qiao also received a call from Director Xu Zhuo.
“Young Miss Murong, as a special guest, you might need to be present at the rehearsal. You have to inform us in advance about some of the opening and middle arrangements. I’m afraid that there will be an accident when filming starts if you’re not present.”
His words were very tactful, but Xu Zhuo’s meaning was very obvious.
She had to come for the rehearsal. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for this big shot to get into an accident.
Murong Qiao agreed readily. “Sure, I’ll go over tonight.”
She wasn’t tied down with work these few days, so she could make time to go over after work. She would inform An Nuo so that she wouldn’t fall asleep on the sofa again just to wait for her to go back.
“Thank you.” Xu Zhuo hung up the phone respectfully.
The venue of the talent show, Venue 1, was a huge dormitory that had been rented. Other than the central venue that would be used to film the talent show compet.i.tion, the program was also equipped with dormitory rooms for the contestants to live in.
When Murong Qiao went at night, she would often pa.s.s by the venue.
As it was night time, not many people stayed at the venue. Most of them had already gotten off work and gone home to rest. Only a small number of people were still working the night shift here.
The car stopped in front of a building. Murong Qiao got out of the car and walked in.
When she came, she told the director the news. However, because it was too late and there was no traffic jam, she arrived 20 minutes early.
In the empty and long corridor, they welcomed an unfamiliar guest, Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao first called Director Xu Zhuo, wanting to ask which floor the other party was on. In the end, when she called, the mechanical female voice said that the line was busy.
Helpless, she could only put her phone back into her pocket and walk around on her own, thinking that it was fine to ask for directions if she met someone.
However, she didn’t find anyone, but her ears caught the faint sound of a piano.
■I
Murong Qiao stopped in her tracks.
The sound of the piano was faint. Her ears tried their best to track the direction, making Murong Qiao take uncertain steps in one direction.
She walked and stopped. Finally, she followed the sound and stood at the door of a room with a practice room written on it.
The door was the kind of gla.s.s window that could see the situation inside.
Murong Qiao leaned over and saw a tall boy’s fingers dancing on the piano, as if he was dancing, causing the gorgeous and graceful sound of the piano to flow out from his fingertips..
