The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 21 Just how anxious was he?

Today is the boss's birthday, but unlike previous years, there are no birthday concerts or fan meetings. The studio gets a rare day off, so Fan Tiantian immediately invited her best friend to have a day of fun.

After dinner, facials, and shopping, the two, looking radiant, watched a movie in the evening and then excitedly headed to a nearby bar.

There's a band performing at the bar tonight, the atmosphere is really great.

Fan Tiantian picked up the new cocktail and was about to try it when she received a barrage of urgent calls from her boss.

"Are you kidding me? It's past 10 o'clock, and you still have to work overtime?"

When she hung up the phone and said she was leaving, her best friend looked up at her watch, stared at her with wide eyes, as if she were looking at a monster!

Fan Tiantian had already stood up with her bag.

"The nature of my job is special, so what if it's past 10 o'clock? For the sake of the salary, I can be there anytime at 3 a.m.

"As expected of my sweet sister! Go ahead! Let's meet up again next time."

Fan Tiantian chuckled and patted her best friend's head: "I'm leaving first. I've paid the bill. You can keep playing."

After saying that, he strode out of the bar, quickly hailed a car, and headed straight for Lu Nanting's personal studio.

Fan Tiantian is 32 years old this year. Her name sounds sweet, but she is a mature and decisive woman who is very assertive.

A staunch advocate of singlehood, believing that "even a dog wouldn't date" and "work is a woman's best friend."

She is Lu Nanting's public relations manager and is very well-known in the industry.

While still in the car, she sent out a notice to call everyone in the department back.

Because the bar was nearby, when she arrived at the studio, apart from her agent Zhang Mingyuan, no one else had arrived yet.

Zhang Mingyuan is checking the takeout orders at the front desk.

Seeing her come in, I handed her a cup.

Fan Tiantian peeked out and saw the table full of coffee, and immediately perked up!
"What's wrong, Brother Yuan? What happened? Look at this amount of military supplies, they're being shipped out in quantities to last all night?"

Zhang Mingyuan was extremely exhausted and didn't want to repeat himself:
"Wait a minute, Brother Li, we'll be there in two minutes."

Li Jie is in charge of publicity, especially in new media operations. He is good at using memes and can help Lu Nanting gain and retain fans.

Lu Nanting's marriage can only be achieved through close cooperation between the two of them.

Fan Tiantian is always very efficient at work and doesn't want to wait at all.
"I haven't received any news at all. Besides, crisis management requires speed. Give me a heads-up before everyone arrives so I can think about it!"

Lu Nanting has been preparing for his next concert recently and hasn't attended many events. The only exception was his birthday, when his friends in the industry sent him birthday wishes right on time. He needed to respond promptly to prevent anyone from stirring up trouble and saying that Lu Nanting was not a true friend of anyone else. But all of that was taken care of last night.

Zhang Mingyuan was so annoyed by her that he told her the whole story:
"Our boss got married today."

"What?!!"

It was difficult to go into details over the phone. Fan Tiantian only knew that something had happened and thought it was a problem with one of her endorsements. She never expected it to be a personal relationship issue!
How fresh!

"Watch out, your eyeballs might pop out!"

Zhang Mingyuan said something to her in an annoyed tone, grabbed a cup of coffee, and headed towards the conference room.

With such a big thing happening, the boss still had to cover it up everywhere. He was under tremendous pressure and didn't want to say a single unnecessary word.

Zhang Mingyuan is not tall, only 1.72 meters, while Fan Tiantian, a big girl from Northeast China, is almost 1.82 meters tall in high heels, and she caught up with him in a few steps.

Her high heels clattered on the wooden floor, "thump, thump, thump," mirroring her restless and uneasy mood.

"Who is he with? I haven't seen him dating anyone. He probably hasn't even held a girl's hand all year. How could he possibly have a whirlwind marriage?! Are you kidding me?! Does this mean single people can get married on their own these days? Has the policy changed?"

When someone is in a relationship, in the eyes of someone with experience like her, the sour smell could probably be smelled from ten miles away.

Since the studio was established, and Fan Tiantian has worked there for almost three years, she has never seen the boss get close to any girl.

His public image has always been that of a cold, aloof man who only cares about work and has no interest in love.

She got married so suddenly, she's still a bit overwhelmed. Her extreme fans might be worried she'd jump off a building.
No wonder Brother Yuan called them all over so late at night.

Regardless of how shaken she was, Zhang Mingyuan only demanded that she do her job well.

"Alright, anyone who hasn't clocked out by 11 o'clock yet will have their bonus deducted. Hurry up and urge them."

The studio offers good benefits, but the rules are also strict.

Zhang Mingyuan didn't get to this position through connections. Managing crisis public relations for top male celebrities often involves working late into the night.

Speaking of Lu Nanting, he is already one of the most worry-free people in the industry.

Basically, no one will be foolish enough to fight him for resources or status. Even if the artist is confused and makes a fuss, their agent will do everything in their power to stop them.

He's not a time management master; he won't seize every spare moment amidst his busy work schedule to get entangled with different men and women.

He's not a nightclub enthusiast; he never goes out partying or attends frivolous parties. He basically spends his holidays at home with his mother and taking care of his nephews and nieces...

It's fair to say that Fan Tiantian has been living a very relaxed life these past few years, almost like she's retired.

After the initial panic subsided following this unexpected turn of events, she found herself eager and ready to take on the challenge.

Finally here...

After years of waiting, it's finally the perfect opportunity to showcase your talents...

So, when the other staff members arrived one after another, they saw Fan Tiantian looking like a wolf in sheep's clothing, holding a coffee cup in one hand and touching her chin with the other, walking around the conference room in circles, laughing "hehehe" as she went.

Li Jie, the publicity manager, was at home helping his daughter with her homework when he got so angry that his blood pressure spiked. When he received a call from Zhang Mingyuan, he was so happy that he almost cried. He rushed over without being urged.

There were thirteen people working overtime tonight, and he was the only one who walked in with a smile.

Once everyone was present, they all entered the large conference room. They saw everyone nervously pressing their laptops, staring at them with serious expressions.

Zhang Mingyuan coughed twice, clapped his hands, and said calmly:

"Specifically, the boss got married in a flash today, and he doesn't intend to make it official yet. We need to come up with several contingency plans tonight in case it gets leaked and we're caught off guard."

All staff members signed confidentiality agreements. If they violated them, they would be held responsible and no one would want them in the industry in the future. Zhang Mingyuan spoke of this without any reservations, being as direct as he could be.

Good public relations doesn't wait until everything has happened before discussing solutions.

We need to fully consider all aspects of the matter before it happens, and then prepare accordingly based on the boss's desired outcome.

If nothing happens, that would be ideal; if it does happen, we can handle it with ease.

After hearing what he said, several gasps of surprise erupted in the office!
Those who were quick immediately ran to close the windows and draw the curtains, and also turned the air conditioner down one degree.

Just as Fan Tiantian had thought, if the boss doesn't even date any girls all day long, who could he marry?

That was so sudden!
and--

"Isn't the boss just turning 22 today? How much of a rush is he that he can't even wait one more day?!"

No wonder they didn't have any plans this year and even gave everyone a day off!

If I had known he was going to cause trouble, I would have just gone to work as usual!
Good morning, my internet brothers and sisters.

Mr. 3, sporting dark circles under his eyes, is passing by cautiously...

I've been frantically rushing to meet deadlines lately, writing over 8,000 words a day, and I still don't feel like it's enough.

My manuscript stash isn't full enough, which makes me uneasy. My senior sister's fate is still uncertain, which also puts me at ease.

Juanwang's project is nearing completion. I registered a company for him, and his brother gave him fifty copies to do for fun, just to gain experience.

If it weren't for the fact that they've been together for a year, I would have suspected there might be some parent-child relationship involved.

My friend, who used to brag and joke around all the time, and was always acting like a troll, has become a millionaire and the owner of two large companies more than ten years later, and I still don't know it, and I'm always arguing with him.

Oh dear, my sugar daddy is right in front of me, how unfilial of me!

My long-lost sisters, I wonder when they will find me and publish my little book, so I can have more material for my dreams and close my eyes contentedly when I die.

I've done Juan Wang a huge favor, so from now on I won't let him call me "wife" anymore. He has to call me "General Manager Li" for me to talk to him.

For short-term projects, it's practically impossible to incubate them, raise second or third rounds of funding, and grow them into large and strong enterprises. There's a slight possibility that they'll be bought by someone else, but the most likely outcome is that they'll struggle for a long time and lose everything.

Ah, life is about constant striving, and a willingness to improve is always a good thing.

He did his thing, I did mine; the reason the Juan and Wang couple came together was because they had some similar illnesses.

A feeling of madness.

Waaaaah, I have so many manuscripts to write, I can never finish them. I even dream about typing on the keyboard, or I'm a giant octopus spirit, it's so exciting!
