Just Blame Me For Being Blind In the Beginning

Ch 58

Pei Ying had never in her life thought that she’d be invited to join KaiHuang.

KaiHuang was currently the largest entertainment company in the industry. There were a lot of famous stars under them, and of course, there was Emperor Mo too. Mo Zhen’s manager was Tang Qiang, who was extremely well-known in the industry. More than a few celebrities would love to be managed by him, but he hadn’t taken anyone under his wing in a long time.

Pei Ying considered for a moment. Then she asked him, “Mr Tang, you’d like me to sign with KaiHuang? I heard that you don’t manage new people anymore.”

Tang Qiang responded, “That’s true, but everything has exceptions. If you would like to join KaiHuang, then I would be more than willing to sign you.”

“Mmh… I signed a five year contract with Scenic Studios, and I still have two years left.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Since we’re inviting you, we will, of course, pay the penalty fees for breaking the contract.”

Pei Ying smiled slightly, remaining silent, as if thinking about something.

Beside her, Song Nanchuan looked at Tang Qiang. He asked, “Director Tang, isn’t this considered poaching? Does GM Chen know about this?”

Tang Qiang replied, “CEO Song, you don’t have to put it in such unpleasant terms. I’m simply paving a better path for Ms Pei.” As he spoke, he turned back to Pei Ying. “In terms of both company size and artists’ experience, Scenic is far, far behind KaiHuang. Without a doubt, you will be able to grow so much more at our company. You were with Scenic for three years, but Chen Sheng never valued you. We’re not the same. KaiHuang has been without a film empress, and I think that you are the most suitable candidate.”

KaiHuang was established many years ago. They now had an emperor and empress in the music industry, and they had an emperor in the film industry. But they were lacking a film empress, and that’s always been a regret of Tang Qiang’s. If he could sign Pei Ying to their company, he had the confidence to build her into a star as big as Mo Zhen.

Tang Qiang’s words were really quite enticing to Pei Ying. KaiHuang had always been missing a film empress. This was well known by everyone, and the company was even subject to jokes by rival companies for that reason. If she were to join their company, she was sure that Tang Qiang would invest his efforts into her. But she still had two years left on her contract with Scenic. The breach of contract aside, jumping over to a new company like this felt rather unethical.

She thought it over once more, and then she expressed her thoughts to Tang Qiang. “Director Tang, GM Chen brought me into this business. And while I didn’t do well in the beginning, he can’t be blamed for treating me unfairly. Fate just wasn’t favorable to me. When I was at my lowest, he didn’t completely abandon me either. It doesn’t really seem right for me to kick him aside now that I’ve gained a bit of fame, does it?”

“I can appreciate Ms Pei’s sentiment, but I still think that you should consider yourself a bit more. The resources you’ll have under Chen Sheng definitely won’t be a match for what I can do for you.”

Pei Ying laughed. “I heard that when Mo Zhen first debuted, Director Tang, you were also just starting out in this business. Your resources at the time were also very limited, and others tried to steal away your talent. But Mo Zhen and you have come this far together and have grown a lot. I’m very envious of the relationship between you two.”

Tang Qiang lowered his head and chuckled. “Alright, if Mo Zhen had been poached by someone else back then, I’d have been very hurt. But now that it’s my turn to steal others away, I’d still like for you to reconsider. If KaiHuang and Scenic were auditioning for the same role, who would have the better chances?”
