Chapter 1344
“Exactly! How could Ms Summers sit back and do nothing?”
Overhearing their chatter, Wendy couldn’t extract any useful info. She just went back to checking her phone, and lo and behold, there was the scoop she needed right on her Twitter feed
An official announcement from Starlight International at 9 a m
In a nutshell, Starlight International was still hiring, but this time in collaboration with Wave Entertainment.
What was Wave Entertainment? A big name in showbiz, run by this dude called Mr. Diaz, who called all the shots at Wave Entertainment.
Mr. Diaz and Wave Entertainment were sort of low key. Lots of companies in the biz scrabbled for resources, but nobody dared to tangle with Wave Entertainment. If Wave Entertainment had their eye on something, they moved fast and struck hard.
In the entertainment industry, the last guy you wanted to mess with was Seth.
If he wasn’t happy, he didn’t give a damn who you were; big shot or not, he wouldn’t give you the time of day. He was a laid back plain Jane, but also tough as nails and as cold as ice. When he was in a good mood, you could negotiate with him. When he was not, you felt like even breathing would be a mistake.
That was Seth for you.
In the entire entertainment industry, he didn’t give a hoot about what other people thought.
No matter how powerful the Alonso family was, their business was too widespread. In the entertainment circle, they only occupied a small share, they stood no chance in a face–off with Wave Entertainment.
Under Chloe’s leadership, Starlight International had a unique position in the entertainment circle, now out of the blue, they had announced a collaboration with Wave Entertainment. Who in showbiz would give a damn about the Alonso family?
Wave Entertainment, really?
Wendy clenched her phone and her face twisted in anger. She thought her company’s artists wouldn’t jump ship and Chloe’s scheme would surely fail!
No one dared to go against the Alonso family!
This stuff was old news, who’d have thought Chloe would suddenly announce a collaboration.
Every circle had its own rules, and it was common knowledge that in the entertainment circle, the rule was Seth.
Who would dare to go against Seth in this circle? Who would’ve thought, Chloe could actually get in touch with Seth!
“Ms. Summers is really something, getting in touch with someone as influential as Mr. Diaz, I’m impressed!”
“Sounds about right, she’s Damon’s fiancée now. Mr. Diaz and Damon grew up together, he’s helping his buddy’s fiancée out, should be no big deal, right?”
“You don’t know Mr. Diaz well enough! He won’t listen to anyone, not even his own mother. If he doesn’t want to do something, no matter what it is, he won’t budge.”
“Why would he choose to collaborate with Starlight International then? Is there a better business opportunity? Infinity Media has so many artists, of varying quality. If they collaborate with Starlight International, the artists they take on would also be a mixed bag, not exactly the best outcome. Why would Mr. Diaz make such a decision?”
Some said Mr. Diaz’s influence in the entertainment circle was significant and no one dared to cross him. This had a lot to do with his way of handling things.
Like today’s incident, they think it could be a trap!
What was Mr. Diaz really thinking? Did he see the potential growth of Starlight International and decided to lower his status to collaborate with them?
But did Wave Entertainment really need to lower its status? If there was really a conflict over resources, Starlight International surely couldn’t beat Wave Entertainment.
“Hmm… I can finally relax, I thought this was a done deal, didn’t expect a twist!”
*Seems like a pleasant surprise, Ms. Summers always knows how to keep people reassured!”
*She even managed to get in touch with Mr. Diaz. Ms. Summers is really incredible!”
“But if this matter is handled by Wave Entertainment, does that mean Infinity Media has really failed? Haha, wouldn’t that mean Wendy is all that’s left of the company?”
“Haha…”
“Huh?”
At this point, someone finally remembered Wendy, who was also involved. How could the reporters miss such a good interview opportunity?
Wendy, hearing their mockery, was furious. What did they mean, the company was only left with her?
Just as she turned to leave, she was again surrounded by reporters.
“Ms. Wendy, how do you plan to handle this?”
“If it’s true, are you planning to let your artists jump ship?”
“You just said you’ve been getting along well with the company’s artists, what’s going on now?”
Compared to the smile she wore during the pleasant conversation earlier, Wendy’s face now looked particularly twisted.
“The company has contracts with the artists, so jumping ship is impossible. Please let me through!” With that, she tried to push past the reporters and leave. “Ms. Wendy, if it’s true, you…”
“Ms Wendy…
The reporters rushed after her. Wendy struggled to get out of the airport, shook off the reporters, and got into a car.
Watching her leave, the reporters followed. Such big news this was and of course, they had to stick to it.
What would Wendy do next?!
In fact, just as the reporters thought, Chloe’s actions were designed to trap Seth.
Seth arrived at the company, saw the reporters downstairs, and asked Charlie, who was next to him, “What’s going on?”
Charlie quickly whispered in reply, “So, Starlight International dropped the bomb at nine this morning, saying they’re partnering up with us…”
Charlie finished his sentence, feeling all kinds of uneasy inside. When the news first dropped, he was stunned for a good while. He was puzzled, wondering why on earth Mr.
1/2
Diaz would agree to something that seemed to do the company no good.
But looking at Mr. Diaz’s face now, could it be that he wasn’t clued in?
‘I’m sorry, Mr. Diaz, I thought you were in the loop, so I didn’t report to you…”
It was only just past nine right now
Hearing this, Seth’s stride faltered a bit. Just by looking at Seth’s gloomy face, you could tell he was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
He strode into the elevator, whipped out his phone, and started surfing the net. When he saw the official announcement from Starlight International, he was so pissed off he couldn’t help but snort in disdain.
