Chapter 357 - Welcome To Xing Entertainment

Since they wanted to keep all of them, that meant their group wasn't being abandoned. That was one thing to rejoice about. 

"From our analysis, the group's popularity didn't take a hit just because one of the members was found to be dating," stated the team leader in a clear way. "There is some negative publicity but it isn't enough to ruin the group's future. After all, 'Fantasy' isn't just a group with a high face value. You all reached this point because of your talent. None of the people who debuted in the same time period as you have as much success as your group."

This was something they were all clear about. And this was also one of the reasons, Lin Zhen wasn't willing to give up on his group. Although these boys were quite a headache at times, they were still really talented. They were all meant to shine on the stage. 

"We have already made a plan how to get you back in front of the public's eyes."

A new plan for their future was placed in front of them. Only Hyson didn't get one. But he wasn't anxious either about it. 

This new plan was really good. It showed that the management really valued them a lot. Huang Shuyi was still to continue as the mentor for a youth talent show. But this time, the company got a lot of benefits for him. Fang Yiwen was surprised to see that he was chosen as the face of his favorite game and he was even gonna live stream with his fans while playing. It couldn't be better for him at this point.

The most surprised were Lin Zhen and Pei Zi Hong. Since Lin Zhen had a contract in hand. He was chosen to compose an OST for the currently most-hyped drama. And Pei Zhi Hong was chosen to sing the OST. With how many fans were calling him out online for dating, he didn't think anyone would choose to have him as a singer for an OST.

"You all can take this back and think about it clearly," they were told.

"Hyson," Shui Xian called out. "You stay back to talk about the movie you signed and the rest can leave now."

When he gave the signal, not only the other members left even the management team left the conference room as well. Now, only Hyson and Shui Xian were left in there.

"Mr. Shui, what a pleasant surprise," said Hyson with schadenfreude swirling in his eyes. "Does your wife know what you're up to?"

Shui Xian cleared his throat, "She doesn't take interest in my business."

"Oh..." Hyson responded strangely.

"Oh, cut it!" said Shui Xian. "I'm not here because of you. In fact, we were going to acquire this entertainment company last year. Some delay happened but now it's been done. When I first bought the shares, I didn't even know my wife."

Even Hyson knew that Shui Xian wasn't reckless enough to take over a business just because of someone. He must have a thorough plan. How else would he have become a successful businessman?

"And I'm not trying to save your group as well," added Shui Xian. "I'm a businessman, I have to think about my profit. It's the team I brought who has chosen to give their all to all of you. They believe you all are worth it and I just happened to mention that I agree with their words."

Hyson smiled to himself, "Xian Ge, you don't have to explain so much to me." He took a look at Shui Xian and added, "Ellie is right though. All businessmen are profiteers. Feelings really don't matter."

"Are you calling my wife a profiteer?" 

"Who doesn't know that?" retorted Hyson. "Ellie would definitely think about her profits and losses before making a decision. She is a profiteer through and through. You can't change my mind since that's how she is!"

"Let's get to serious business," said Shui Xian. "Do you really want to continue filming that movie?"

"Yeah," answered Hyson. "I already told Miss Sora that if she wants me to play the role, I'll just do it. But I can't guarantee good acting."

Shui Xian wasn't surprised to hear that, "I know that already. But well, you don't have to act perfectly. I believe your fans will be willing to watch the movie just to see your face."

"That can't be right."

"You really underestimate your fan following," commented Shui Xian. "Anyway, since you've decided I won't say anything."

"I know what you're worried about," said Hyson. "Take it easy. I don't take your sister that seriously. Why would I go mess with her when I don't even care about her?" He took a pause and added, "Don't take offense. I don't mean to insult her. It's just how I am."

Shui Xian was so used to straightforward words now that he really didn't think Hyson said anything wrong. Indeed, Hyson didn't take Amiah seriously and that's why he really won't care about previous matters as well. That's just how he was. He was used to going with the flow and he won't look back. 

"Then I'm glad to hear that," was Shui Xian's reply. He extended his hand towards Hyson and said, "Welcome to Xing Entertainment. I hope you have a pleasure working with us."

Hyson took his hand and shook it heavily before saying, "Don't tell I'll be seeing you here all the time."

Shui Xian shook his head, "That's obviously not possible. Xing Entertainment is just one of the many listed companies under the banner of Shui Conglomerate. I definitely can't give all my time to it. But I have chosen the most capable people for this place. And for the next half a month, I'll be here to sort things out."

"That sounds reassuring," said Hyson. "Then I'll be counting on you in the future." Then he took out his phone saying, "Now, I have to tell this to Ellie."

Shui Xian placed his hand on his and stopped him from continuing, "I'll let her know myself."

Hyson made a face at him, "Well, that's even better. She should hear it from you. Then good luck explaining to her why you're my boss now."

Shui Xian didn't know why he felt a little chill when he heard that from him.
