After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

After learning about the source of the news, Ye Tingting felt even more that the news was unreliable.

"Because the person who acquired Maetian Entertainment is the owner of Tianmei Media!"

Zhou Ziqing still quite trusted Xiao Yinqiu, feeling that the other party would not deceive her with baseless rumors, NOR was there any need to.

"Mr. Yang from Tianmei?"

"I've heard he's very decisive!"

"After taking over Tianmei, he initiated major reforms; it seems even Zhang Kaigang has not renewed his contract!"

Although Yang Hao often acted as a hands-off executive, being the owner of Tianmei Media, he still had a certain level of fame within the industry, but most people had only heard of him and had never met him.

"Yes, that Mr. Yang!" Zhou Ziqing nodded.

"If this news is true, then our chance has really come."

A look of anticipation appeared on the exhausted face of Ye Tingting.

Just then, her cellphone suddenly rang; it was a call from the head of the third group in the Artists Department where she worked.

"Ye, are you in Hucheng?"

"Come to the company for a very important meeting!"

The call connected, and the person on the other end went straight to the point.

"Go to the company now?"

"Yes, right away!"

The person on the other end spoke with a tone of firm resolve.

"Alright!"

Ye Tingting responded with an affirmation and hung up the phone.

"The way Sister Feng is speaking, it seems something big has indeed happened at the company."

"It seems what Xiao Yinqiu said is true!"

Though Ye Tingting had been somewhat skeptical before, she now believed in Zhou Ziqing's words to a greater extent, and despite her fatigue, she suddenly felt a revival of energy.

Jiangcheng Satellite TV.

Yang Hao returned to the contestants' lounge.

It was the 520 show after all!

The Little White Flower needed a look too.

However, the contestants were in a common lounge, which was quite crowded.

Apart from the contestants involved in the TV show recording, there were also "assistants" brought by the contestants.

At this time, the so-called assistants weren't actually real assistants; most of them were friends or family of the contestants. It wasn't that the contestants couldn't afford assistants; it was mainly because everyone was new, and bringing an assistant directly for the recording of a program seemed too showy.

So the people accompanying the contestants were either relatives or friends and classmates.

Today, Chen Haioiu, the old mother of Little White Flower Chen Ruohan, had come with her to record the show. Being a singer from the Cultural Work Troupe, she was practically a half-celebrity herself and had a good understanding of the TV show recording process, so she could be of some help to her daughter.

"Ou, you're here too!"

Yang Hao didn't expect to meet Chen Haiou here and greeted her with a smile.

"Mr. Yang, you're so busy and yet you made time to come and see Ruohan? If Ruohan doesn't achieve good results, it would be letting down your high regard..."

Chen Haiou spoke pleasantries, but clearly, her words were intended for the ears of those around them.

Her daughter was already the predetermined champion, and she had come mostly just to join in on the fun. Running into Yang Hao was an unexpected pleasure.

Today was indeed the 520 festival, a rather special day.

Although Chen Haiou knew that she and this Mr. Yang probably had no chance, stepping in to help her daughter at the right time wasn't out of the question.

After all, when it came to providing living expenses, he always gave double the amount.

"Uncle Yang, can I spend the evening with you?"

The lounge was messy, and Chen Ruohan approached Yang Hao to ask in a low voice. She, of course, wanted to spend this special day with her own Uncle Yang.

But the problem was that too many people wanted to spend the 520 festival with Yang Hao, and he couldn't be in multiple places at once.

"I need to accompany Xixi tonight, let's do it another day."

Yang Hao gently patted Little White Flower on the shoulder. He'd long decided to pull out Xixi as a shield whenever someone proposed to spend the evening together.

520!

Spending it with my little padded jacket is quite reasonable, isn't it?

"Oh, okay then."

Although Little White Flower was somewhat disappointed, she wouldn't dare vie for favoritism with Xixi.

If the rival were any other woman, she would have the courage to fight, but Xixi was Mr. Yang's darling, unparalleled by any woman, and Little White Flower had that much self-awareness.

"Focus on the show's recording and perform well."

Yang Hao patted Little White Flower on the shoulder again. Although Chen Ruohan was the predetermined champion, the title couldn't be too unconvincing. After all, it would be more persuasive if there were impressive aspects.

"Mhm mhm, I'll do my best!"

Chen Ruohan nodded vigorously. She was actually under a lot of pressure because the other contestants were all very strong, professionally trained, and included signed artists from the same company, so Chen Ruohan had been focusing on dancing and singing on top of her classes recently.

Luckily, Chen Ruohan inherited her mother's talent in singing. Although not formally trained, her singing skills were still among the best of the contestants. Coupled with her outstanding appearance, she had been stably within the top three in public judge votes in earlier recordings.

So all she had to do was maintain this performance, and then, awarding her the championship would be well-deserved.

After chatting with Little White Flower for a bit, Yang Hao greeted the other newcomers of the company. To his surprise, You Qianyi, who was also predetermined to debut in the group, secretly gave him a 520 gift.

The gift wasn't expensive, it was a lapel pin for a man's suit.

Such a small accessory wouldn't attract too much attention generally, but an appropriate one could indeed enhance a person's taste and status.

The young lady was quite thoughtful. Stay tuned to empire

Since the common lounge was crowded, Yang Hao and Little White Flower couldn't have an in-depth conversation, so after greeting everyone, he left.

"Mr. Yang, I'll see you out."

Chen Haiou followed Yang Hao's steps. She hadn't seen Mr. Yang for quite some time and took this rare opportunity to converse a bit more with him.

Yang Hao didn't mind contacting Ou, who had multiple buffs stacked upon her, and after leaving the lounge, they started chatting.

"Ou, I remember you used to be in the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe, right?"

Yang Hao asked while walking.

"Um, yes."

Chen Haiou didn't expect Yang Hao to suddenly bring this up. She hesitated at first but nodded her head anyway.

It was a part of her life she'd rather not mention. Her days in the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe were her life's highlight before meeting Yang Hao, but concurrently, the most humiliating moments also occurred there.

It had been rumored that she was the kept mistress of a troupe leader. Under his protection, she enjoyed several carefree years. Later, when the leader was incarcerated, their relationship came to light, and her status as the other woman was confirmed.

After she could no longer stay in Hucheng, she took her daughter Chen Ruohan and left for Jiangcheng, where her elder sister lived.

Therefore, Hucheng was a place of heartache for Chen Haiou.

Ever since leaving Hucheng, she never went back!

Sensing the change in Chen Haiou's mood, Yang Hao didn't inquire further but continued: "You know about Maetian Entertainment, right?"

"Of course."

Chen Haiou nodded. Even without her extensive Hucheng history, as a singer from the Cultural Work Troupe, she couldn't possibly be unaware of Maetian Entertainment.

Moreover, she had recently learned from the social media of former colleagues that the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe was being privatized, and Maetian Entertainment was the one acquiring it.

Many Cultural Work Troupes were undergoing privatization since they really didn't make money but accrued considerable expenses. It didn't matter much when the economy was strong, but now local governments were cutting costs and increasing efficiency, making the troupes a burden to be shed.

Hence, there were optimizations happening, either through disbandment or acquisition, and being acquired was somewhat better since the troupe employees would still have a livelihood!

The news Chen Haiou saw was about the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe being acquired by Maetian Entertainment.

"I've bought Maetian Entertainment, and right now, we are in need of people."

"If Ou is interested, you could take a position at Maetian Entertainment."

Right now, Yang Hao was genuinely short of people, and he believed Ou, with her "A-level" business capabilities, could come out and help.

Rather than outsiders, he'd prefer to employ the glamorous "mother-in-law"!
