When Assistant Yu met that gloomy gaze, he could not help but gulp and quickly ask in a low voice, “President Shi, is there anything you need me to do?”
Shi Mo put down his phone and said in a deep voice, “Didn’t madam sign a contract with our branch company? Why hasn’t there been any news from the branch company after she’s been slammed on the Internet?”
Assistant Yu: “...”
Only then did he remember that he had only taken Fang Mo’er to the recording session but had yet to assign her a manager. Even the branch company was only aware that the company had signed up the new Veiled Queen.
However, he had thought that there was no need to worry much since she was still a newcomer.
As such..
“What? Madam President was slandered online?” Assistant Yu was also very curious.
Shi Mo did not answer him.
Assistant Yu quickly said, “I will arrange to assign a manager for her as soon as possible and let the public relations team handle it.”
Shi Mo thought for a moment, clenched his fingers, and said in a low voice, “Let the branch company invite Bai Rong to sing this song together then.”
Assistant Yu: “President Shi, do you mean to let both of them compete on the same stage?”
In the car, there was no reply from Shi Mo, which meant that it was a tacit agreement.
“That’s right. The President’s wife has always been labeled a stand-in. This will be a good opportunity to remove that label. Otherwise, she’ll always be in the shadows of other singers.” Assistant Yu seemed to have understood the deeper meaning behind the President’s words.
Whoever said that a stand-in had to be worse than the original?
Fang Mo’er was different. The strength of her ability could definitely beat Bai Rong by a mile. She could easily beat her several times over.
For the rest of the car journey, Shi Mo did not continue discussing this matter.
His schedule for the day was packed and he did not have much time to spare.
As for Assistant Yu, he took advantage of his free time and immediately tried his best to settle the matters regarding Fang Mo’er.
Bai Rong could not wait for Fang Mo’er’s arrival and had initially wanted to personally make a trip to the Music Arrangement department.
Just as she reached the elevator, the doors opened. Mu Chen, who was on the phone, looked overjoyed on as he pulled her into the elevator.
Bai Rong was pulled into his arms, and she immediately lowered her head, acting like a little girl.
Mu Chen hung up the phone and suddenly looked at Bai Rong with a hint of approval in his eyes.
“Did you know? Qihang Film and Television just called and said that your singing was also very good, so they plan to let you sing the theme song along with the Veiled Queen during the promotional event.
“I knew it. They must be regretting their decision. Your fame and reputation makes you the most suitable candidate to perform this song. Fortunately, I’ve made up for it by letting you collaborate with the Veiled Queen.”
Mu Chen had seen that Fang Mo’er’s song had taken first place on the hit music charts, but he was not happy at all.
If this song had been sung by Bai Rong, Bai Rong’s fame would definitely have increased greatly, which meant that the company would have been able to make a big profit off Bai Rong.
His initial disappointment had vanished into thin air when he had received the cooperation notice!
Bai Rong raised her head in surprise. “Are you serious? You want me to sing this song together with her?”
“That’s right. You and the Veiled Queen will be singing together at the promotional event in a few days.”
Bai Rong’s initial excitement was suddenly dampened.
‘Singing together on the same stage?
‘Was this going to be a live performance?’
Bai Rong shook her head without hesitation. “Forget it. If it’s not exclusive to me, I don’t want to share the same song with a stand-in.”
Her live singing ability would only result in her being humiliated.
However, Mu Chen did not know this. He thought that Bai Rong was still holding a grudge over the song being stolen, so he could not help but lightly tap the tip of her nose, as he said in amusement, “Silly, you have to sing with her. You’re so beautiful that the focus will surely be on you. You should be happy. Besides, your singing skills aren’t bad.”
Bai Rong wanted to say more, but when her gaze met Mu Chen’s determined look, she could only nod.
She could not find a better reason to reject him.
If she continued, she would be behaving willfully.
At the same time.
Fang Mo’er also received a call from Assistant Yu.
“Madam President, I’ll get the company to send a senior manager to take care of you.”
Fang Mo’er had just found out that she now had a manager.
Soon after, an unfamiliar phone call came in.
“Hello, Miss Veil. I’m Shen Yue, your manager.”
Shen Yue? She was the famous ace manager of the entertainment company under Star Dream Era.
The list of singers and actors under her care were all A-listers.
Although Shen Yue had been assigned to take on a newcomer, she had many doubts. However, when she thought about how the headquarters had repeatedly instructed her, she couldn’t help but become curious about this Veiled Queen. Before she knew her background, she would not underestimate her.
Hence, Shen Yue continued, “In a few days, there will be a live singing event at the live show. At that time, you will be singing on the same stage as Bai Rong. I will arrange for a custom-made gown for you. I believe that with your singing skills, you will not be inferior to her.”
Fang Mo’er was surprised, “You want me to sing on the same stage as her? This is very interesting.”
