Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Disgusting Them a Little

"I’ve reviewed the employee contracts of Aetherium, and there are a few agents whose contracts are about to expire. Can you contact them for me and see if they plan to leave here and work with me? If they’re willing, just wait until next month when their contracts expire and don’t renew them—have them come join me directly."

"Join you?" Jackson Zane was startled. "You started a company?"

"Not yet, but soon," South Grant said with a smile, then turned and went to Shawn Grant’s office.

Jackson Zane froze for a moment as South Grant turned.

Just at that moment, he unexpectedly found South Grant rather attractive.

This kind of attractiveness was different from the usual charm South Grant displayed; it was a kind of feminine beauty, to put it bluntly, quite effeminate.

Jackson Zane propped his chin and watched South Grant’s figure for a while.

Since coming back from filming, Caleb Holt was like he had lost his soul, only perking up when hearing South Grant’s name.

Could it be that South Grant managed to bend Caleb Holt during their time together shooting?

Then, a light bulb went off in Jackson Zane’s head.

Bent or not, he wasn’t sure, but a budding idea was quickly growing into a towering tree.

If South Grant wants to venture out on his own, the first thing is to gain notoriety.

This film is their first work; although it was produced under Aetherium’s name, all the contracts and documents were handled by South Grant.

South Grant signed them all under his personal name, just to safeguard against this day.

Just in time to leverage the film’s buzz, promote a CP between South Grant and Caleb Holt. Such CP is quite trendy now, more interesting than any male-female pairing, lighting up the hearts of fangirls.

Jackson Zane made up his mind, planning to make an announcement after the movie premieres, stir up some drama with major influencers on Weibo, then manage the fallout accordingly.

South Grant didn’t know about Jackson Zane’s scheme yet, but he would definitely want to strangle him if he did.

At this time, she entered Shawn Grant’s office. There were a few contracts on Shawn Grant’s desk. Seeing South Grant enter, Shawn Grant smiled and said:

"Ah, South, you’re here. I forgot something when you came in earlier, just remembered it, so I had my secretary call you in."

South Grant, seeing Shawn Grant’s friendly demeanor, didn’t turn hostile. Instead, she kept a smile on her face as well and said:

"What’s the matter, Uncle?"

"Well, I’ve been reviewing the employee contracts over the past couple of days and noticed issues with Caleb Holt’s and Jackson Zane’s contracts, as well as the contracts for two new artists Jackson signed. They were solely signed by you, without Aetherium’s name. Since you’re here today, let’s switch the contracts."

After Shawn Grant mentioned this, South Grant wasn’t surprised.

Jackson Zane had already said this outside, and he was right.

Shawn Grant was watching South Grant intently, pushing the contracts in front of her.

South Grant simply smiled, picked up those contracts, and looked at them.

"Yes, I signed them. At the time, Aetherium pushed Caleb Holt out to bear the brunt of all the rumors and even terminated his contract. In that situation, Caleb Holt wouldn’t sign with Aetherium again, so I had to sign him under my own name."

"And what about Jackson Zane? And the others? Don’t tell me they’re all rejecting Aetherium too!"

Seeing Shawn Grant’s frustration, South Grant reached over, took those documents, and smiled:

"That’s right, they all refused to sign with Aetherium because they don’t trust their boss. Clearly, the most suitable heir is being overshadowed and the family put a woman in charge of the family business, so their lack of confidence in their boss is understandable."

Do you think you’re the only ones who can sow discord?

Even if I’m leaving, I want to make sure it irks you.

Even if Shawn Grant is a useless person, let’s see you try to eat opposite this useless person.
