Chapter 361 - New Manager
"Yiwen Ge, have you ever heard about the music composer Xing?" Hyson suddenly joined their conversation and looked at Fang Yiwen meaningful.
"No matter which hole I crawled out of, I have definitely heard of that name," answered Fang Yiwen without any hesitation. "That man is almost like a legend in the music industry. It's a pity that he left the industry too soon."
"Congratulation, you're in luck," said Hyson. "Your new boss, Shui Xian used 'Xing' as his name since the time he was in college. Because he didn't wish to use the identity of his family, he chose to hide his background. Why do you think our company is now named, Xing Entertainment?"
Not only Fang Yiwen but the rest of them also had a sudden look of enlightenment on their faces. None of them was unfamiliar with that name. They had all heard about the person who was called 'Xing' when they entered the company as trainees.
Hyson was quite pleased with their reactions. He looked up to his Xian Ge, how could he let all these people stay so ignorant? His Xian Ge was amazing, and he had the responsibility to let people know that!
While he was feeling proud, someone suddenly called him from behind. He turned around and looked at the woman who stood before him. She was dressed in a prim and proper attire with that high bun on her hand. She looked quite professional.
She extended her hand towards him and introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Li Xinxin. Your new manager."
Hyson raised his brow at her, "Huh? My new manager?"
Li Xinxin was surprised by his reaction, "Didn't boss tell you about it?"
Hyson shook his head.
She smiled at him and gave him the details, "Your previous manager chose to jump ship with his other artist. The rest of the group members don't have to face this problem."
Hyson frowned when he heard that. He won't say he had any bad impression of his previous manager but it wasn't any good either since his previous manager did love to spend more time and effort to cultivate his other female artist. Well, he always believed that he couldn't really compete with a woman's charm so never cared about his manager's preferential treatment. But he didn't think he'd take the first chance to run.
Hyson shook hands with Li Xinxin and gave her a smile, "Then I'll be in your care from now on, Sister Li."
Li Xinxin was an experienced person, she could see that Hyson's smile wasn't perfunctory so she had a better opinion of him. She nodded her head and said, "That's what I ought to do."
Lin Zhen tapped Hyson's shoulder and said, "Come to the dorms when you have time."
"Okay," answered Hyson.
When they left, Hyson followed Li Xinxin to her office and sat down to talk about the details of his future.
"I'll communicate with the production team on your behalf," said Li Xinxin. "Since you're still recovering, I'll make sure that they give you enough time to recover."
"I'm not that big of a star," said Hyson languidly. "I don't need to put on so much air. What if I made others dissatisfied?"
"Don't worry, the shooting won't be delayed," answered Li Xinxin. "I've already looked through it all. I've understood the situation clearly. The shooting is going to continue again on the 28th of this month. They'll first focus on shooting the scenes of the female lead and the male lead. So, it's alright for you to take your time. We're not in a hurry. Your full recovery is more important."
Hyson nodded at her, "Then, I thank you for your consideration." He stood up and offered, "How about I treat you to lunch? It'll be the start of our new journey together."
"There is no need for that," Li Xinxin declined with a straight face.
"I don't like people who say no to free food," said Hyson honestly.
Li Xinxin pressed her lips together and stood up saying, "Alright then. I think we can have that meal."
"Great!"
Shui Xian was also leaving when he saw Hyson and Li Xinxin walking away. He looked at them thoughtfully before inquiring his personal assistant, "Are you sure that this manager is good?"
Ma Jin didn't hesitate to say, "Yes, Master Xian. Miss Li Xinxin is really good at her job. You don't have to worry about anything."
Shui Xian hummed softly. He could only wait now. Even though he didn't want to offer any preferential treatment to Hyson, he still couldn't neglect him either. If his wife learned that he gave an incompetent manager to Hyson, he might really not see the next day. So, he had to find not only a competent manager but also someone with good character. He had come to understood Hyson somewhat now.
Most of the time, he just had to treat Hyson as Raelle. It was easier to understand Hyson in this way.
He had spent way too much time sorting out the management of this company and missed the time of his wife's lunch. Now, if he called her, she'd be disturbed. So, he chose not to do so.
But he still decided to go and eat something on his own. If he didn't, his wife would not feel good. It was better to just follow your wife's instructions even if she was not around.
Hyson and Li Xinxin went to eat at the restaurant which was inside the building. Shui Xian also chose to eat there.
"Master Xian, would you like to eat with them?" asked Ma Jin when he noticed the direction of his boss's gaze.
Shui Xian shook his head, "If I went over there, they won't be able to talk with each other. He definitely asked her over a meal because he wants to understand this new manager of his. I don't want to ruin it."
Ma Jin was actually impressed that his boss could tell the real purpose of this lunch between an artist and his manager.. And here he thought, it was just a friendly meal to cultivate feelings.
