Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 613 Smooth Progress

Chapter 613: Chapter 613 Smooth Progress
There are also hierarchical suppressions between stars and managers.
If you’re more powerful than the manager, and your connections far surpass the manager’s, then the manager might end up working for you, becoming a more senior assistant.
Just like Lan Fei, her manager, Ms. Dai Ning, is well-known in the industry, but still has to cater to Lan Fei’s whims.
In their relationship, Lan Fei has the upper hand completely.
On the other hand, if an ordinary artist doesn’t have Lan Fei’s background and the manager is quite powerful, the artist often becomes a tool for the manager to make money, having to obey and be manipulated.
Ye Yongying is undoubtedly that kind of controlling manager.
However glorious an artist under her may be, they must still be courteous before her, follow her arrangements, and submit to her control.
On one hand, artists are constrained by the company’s contracts; on the other hand, their own capabilities are usually insufficient.
Therefore, the ever-arrogant Ye Yongying has never heard such a ridiculous joke.
"Fire me?" She almost laughed out loud. "Who do you think you are?"
"Yes, me," Sheng Tang replied.
Ye Yongying hadn’t interacted much with Sheng Tang. When she first took Sheng Tang under her wing, she hardly gave her a second glance, thinking she was just a brainless decoration, greedy for vanity.
A year ago, Sheng Tang understood workplace rules well and had no intention of falling out with her manager, so she was quite obedient in front of Ye Yongying.
Therefore, Ye Yongying had never seen her with such an expression: slightly raised eyes showing arrogance and bitchiness, her whole being emanating coldness and mockery.
Ye Yongying was infuriated by her.
The angrier she got, the more controlled her behavior became. She sneered, "Fine, you fire me. I want to see who in the company has the ability to support you!"
She was threatening Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang remained calm and unperturbed.
At that moment, the director of the artist department entered the office.
The director was also a woman, with a strong and cold demeanor. Ye Yongying had a certain level of fear for her.
"Director Cheng."
"Director Cheng."
Sheng Tang and Ye Yongying stood up together and greeted her.
The director’s name was Cheng Jiao. At forty years old, she had short hair and delicate features, revealing that she had been a beauty in her youth. Her entire aura screamed "If you’re not here for business, then leave" with an unapproachable vibe.
She quickly pulled out two contracts.
She handed them respectively to Sheng Tang and Ye Yongying and spoke briefly, "Look over the contracts. If you have any issues, let me know. If not, sign them."
Her tone and expression made it clear to Sheng Tang and Ye Yongying: It’s best if there are no problems, or else you’ll both be in trouble. Hurry up, sign, and get out.
At Guanghong Media, breaking up an artist and a manager was like breaking up a couple. As long as one party had the intention, the company would handle it, even if the other party was unwilling.
Of course, an artist firing their manager could still struggle to find another manager to take over within the same company, as the circles within the company were small, and everyone had connections.
Ye Yongying still couldn’t believe it was real.
Sheng Tang had no connections in the company and knew barely any managers. If she fired Ye Yongying, she’d starve and still be stuck here for the next four years.
Ye Yongying didn’t expect her to truly dare to act.
On the other side, Sheng Tang had already signed.
Ye Yongying didn’t dare act out in front of Director Cheng, so she quickly signed too.
Director Cheng showed a rare sign of satisfaction, nodding slightly as if things had gone smoothly.
"Ye, you go ahead and get busy," she said to Ye Yongying.
Ye Yongying walked out of the meeting room.
She sneered inwardly: You’re bringing this upon yourself, clueless of the heights of heaven and depths of Earth. Let’s see who will take over for you!
As she was thinking this, she saw Ke Fei approaching from a distance.
Ye Yongying greeted him, "Brother Fei."
