Chapter 8 Part 2 – Old Fox and Small Fox
As long as the CEO weighs the pros and cons, and if replacing Zhou Mingrui with Tong Ruize benefits the company, why wouldn"t he do it? Tong Ruize is far more popular than an unknown Zhou Mingrui. In the talent compet.i.tion -《Produce 101》, where it is a popularity compet.i.tion, he has every reason to believe that Tong Ruize will go further in the show than Zhou Mingrui.”
“But is Tong Ruize willing to do that?”
“He and Zhang Ye fought hard for this opportunity.”
“What for?”
“Once again, you are looking at things with a one-sided view, you aren"t looking at the big picture and the long term. You only noticed he played the role of the third supporting male actor in some drama shows, but you aren"t aware that from last year July until now, the ratings of the shows aren"t really doing well, almost all of them failed miserably, and there isn"t any good script looking to cast him now. Furthermore, he and Zhang Ye have been waiting to go on the show -《China Got Talent》, since June to August by using the company"s slot which the show will provide us, but they are uncertain if the company can receive the invitation if they continue to wait. In addition, coincidentally, the news of Wu Hongrong agreeing to help you record the song demo was found out by them, he and the fool – Zhang Ye thought that they will receive this benefit too if they enter the trio group.”
Judging from the tone of Kang Hui"s voice and the mocking expression on her face as she told him what had happened, Chen Minhao could guess the whole story of this matter.
The corner of Chen Minhao"s mouth twitched slightly. “You are already quite certain that the company will be receiving the invitation from 《China Got Talent》soon, right?”
Kang Hui rolled her eyes at Chen Minhao. “Of course, though I only got the news by chance too.”
Conspiracy. Everything is a conspiracy.
If you take away the coincidence part, all that is left are traps.
Kang Hui recounts the story from the beginning to the end, explaining in detail her thoughts in this matter: “When I first heard that Tong Ruize wanted to join the group, my heart rejected it at the start even though I said I"ll consider it. But, when I learned of the news that 《China Got Talent》is giving a partic.i.p.ating slot to our company by coincidence, I became a little hesitant, because compared to 《Produce 101》, Zhou Mingrui is more suitable for 《China Got Talent》instead. However, I"m worried that if he is gone from the group, the vocal performance of the group will crumble, and it will cause you and Gao Dao to flop badly, so I"m torn.”
“However, after I heard you play and sing with your guitar last Friday, I"ve made up my mind. You are totally capable of being the main vocal leader of the group.”
“It"s a win-win situation. You become the main vocal of the trio while Zhou Mingrui can perform on a stage that is more suitable for him.”
Chen Minhao briefly mulled over what Kang Hui had said, and asked, “if Tong Ruize learn that 《China"s got talent》 will have a spot for our company soon, will he leave the group to partic.i.p.ate in 《China"s got talent》?
If Tong Ruize did this, it would spell bad news for him as after all, he is part of the trio group.
Kang Hui looked at him with a smile and calmly added, “the company does not belong to him, and besides, I am not a herbivore. You can rest a.s.sured that as long as there isn"t any screw loose in his brain, he will definitely give his all to partic.i.p.ate in 《Produce 101》. After all, there are so many people in the company, it is impossible to give him chances all the time. Even if he have a screw loose, you don"t have to fear. Your big sister is still here.”
