Chapter 152


    “Reece””


    The manager pondered carefully, seemingly unable to recall such a person. He said, “Ms. Sophle, our


    most popr star at the moment. is Conn. How about I arrange for Corin to meet you?”


    Sophie watched the manager. Although she was smiling, her eyes didn’t carry a hint of mirth.


    “You have half an hour to have Reece meet me” She left those words behind and went upstairs.


    The manager gave a subtle signal to his subordinates and followed Sophie.


    The employees downstairs looked at each other in confusion. Reece? Wasn’t he just a fresh graduate?


    But since Sophie had spoken, they had no choice but to immediately contact Reece toe to the


    office.


    Sophie nced at the office decor, while the manager continued to tter, “Ms. Sophie, this office was


    left by the previous CEO, and I had it redecorated just yesterday. Are you satisfied with it?”


    “It’s not bad.” Sophie settled into the office chair.


    The manager, still smiling obsequiously, said, “Ms. Sophie, Corin is the pir of ourpany right now.


    Are you sure you don’t want to meet him?”


    Sophie smiled, a smile that made the manager inexplicably nervous.


    or with no real


    How could Sophie not know? Corin was just an artist who rose to fame through notoriety. At best, he


    was a B-list actor talent or capability, just a fairly good-looking face.


    Yet, such an artist was already considered a top star at Russell Entertainment.


    Sophie still remembered how Corin had found a wealthy patroness, and how quickly he had turned


    against Russell Entertainment, thepany that had propelled him to fame. Then, Corin’s reputation


    plummeted due to sleeping with fans, mistreating employees, and engaging in shady contracts. In less


    than two years, he was cklisted,


    Sophie watched the manager with interest and asked, “It seems you have high hopes for Corin.” N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    “Corin brings in a significant revenue for thepany each year. Of course, I favor him.”


    “Last year, the resources in Corin’s hands were mostly funded by thepany’s own money, yet his


    performance was hardly outstanding, nor did it bring much prestige or profit to thepany. How much


    did Corin pay you to sing his praises so vehemently in front of me?”


    Caught off guard by Sophie’s sharp words, the manager nervously swallowed and began to sweat,


    “Ms. Sophie, you misunderstand, I…”


    “Whether it’s a misunderstanding can be rified by checking the ounts.”


    Hearing this, the manager tensed up again.


    To promote Corin, they had indeed spent a considerable amount of thepany’s money, but Corin


    still failed to break into the top tier, and the benefits he provided were not proportional to the resources


    spent.


    Sophie leaned back in her chair. It seemed that this Russell Entertainment really was a ce that


    harbored all sorts of misconduct.


    Outside, an employee timidly came in, “Ms. Sophie, we’ve contacted Reece, but he…”


    “What about him?”


    “He refuses toe.”


    “Refuses?” This was unexpected for Sophie.


    The employee nervously said. “Reece says he won’te unless Russell Entertainment terminates his


    contract.


    Sophieughed at this statement. “Doesn’t he know that would be a breach of contract?”


    The employee kept his head down, not daring to speak.


    Who knew what that young graduate was thinking? The CEO herself wanted to meet, and yet he was


    making excuses.


    Sophie stood up and said, “If he won’te to meet me, then I’ll go meet him.”
