After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 468 413, Returning Home in Glory! (Ask for monthly passes)

The atmosphere in the office became subtly charged.

With Zhou Youwei's attitude having done a complete 180-degree turn, even Tang Jiaqi, who was reluctant to believe that Chen Haiou was the Deputy Manager of the HR Department at Maetian Entertainment, had to accept this somewhat despairing fact.

However, she still harbored a last shred of hope. Although the HR Department at Maetian Entertainment mentioned a newly appointed Manager Chen, they did not know this person's full name!

So, Chen Haiou's identity still lacked final confirmation.

Just then, Zhou Youwei's assistant, Zheng Yuanyuan, hurried into the office, looking somewhat flustered.

"Why doesn't anyone ever knock?"

Zhou Youwei frowned. Zheng Yuanyuan was his niece, who, after failing to find suitable work post-graduation, was arranged by him to work at the Cultural Work Troupe; she was family.

But her rash behavior still displeased him. It was fortunate that nothing was happening in the office at the moment; it would have been really awkward if he and Tang Jiaqi were alone doing something.

"Director Wang from Maetian Entertainment is here!"

Zheng Yuanyuan didn't have time to apologize and went straight to business.

The Director Wang she mentioned was a director in the HR Department at Maetian Entertainment, full name Wang Minghao, and he had been the one liaising with the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe regarding personnel matters.

Therefore, both Zhou Youwei and other employees of the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe believed that the right to hire and fire was in his hands; thus, they were all very polite to him, and Zhou had even sent gifts behind the scenes to clear the way for relations.

That was precisely why Zheng Yuanyuan was so nervous.

"Director Wang has come?"

Zhou Youwei could not afford to scold his niece for her lack of manners; he subconsciously glanced at Chen Haiou. If she really was the Deputy General Manager of the HR Department at Maetian Entertainment, she would definitely know Wang Minghao.

Moreover, according to what Chen Haiou said, their work overlapped, making this matter quite interesting!

"Quickly invite Director Wang in!"

Zhou Youwei gestured slightly with his hand.

Tang Jiaqi also brightened up, thinking that Director Wang's timing was perfect, as this would allow Chen Haiou's identity to be completely verified.

Moreover, she was more inclined to believe that Chen Haiou was an imposter.

Otherwise, if Maetian Entertainment had sent her over, why would Director Wang also come?

So, it was very likely that Chen Haiou was never the Deputy General Manager to begin with; she could've just been visiting the Cultural Work Troupe, coincidentally encountered by Tang Jiaqi, and then concocted a tale on the spot to save face!

And it was merely a coincidence that Maetian Entertainment had a manager with the surname Chen!

Yes, it must be just like this!

Tang Jiaqi quietly brainstormed and came up with this answer that favored her.

With that in mind, she gave Chen Haiou a slightly challenging look, thinking to see how you talk your way out of this one!

As for Chen Haiou, she remained calm; she naturally heard the conversation between Zheng Yuanyuan and Zhou Youwei. However, she did not know who the Director Wang they mentioned was!

After all, she had only started her position today and had yet to meet her colleagues from the HR Department at Maetian Entertainment.

But she was not the least bit panicked. Not to mention a director, Wu Dehai, the General Manager of Maetian Entertainment, had to be very courteous to her.

Inside the office, the three individuals each had their own thoughts as a man who appeared to be in his forties walked into the office, flanked by Zheng Yuanyuan and two subordinates.

"Director Wang, why didn't you notify us in advance so I could have greeted you outside?"

Zhou Youwei smiled as he approached.

"I received the orders at the last minute; I'm here to collaborate with Mr. Chen!"

Wang Minghao casually responded and then his gaze fell upon Chen Haiou. He had visited the Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe many times and knew Tang Jiaqi was the director of their dance department.

So, the only unfamiliar face in the office, Chen Haiou, could only be the just-appointed Deputy General Manager of the HR Department!

The rumors within the department spoke of the Deputy General Manager as the new boss's confidant, destined to ultimately take over the current head's position.

And everyone believed this rumor.

The new boss had only brought two employees: one as the Director of the Artists Department and the other placed in the HR Department — their intentions were obvious.

Therefore, Wang Minghao greatly valued this mission as an opportunity to ingratiate himself with his new superior, and by securing this connection, his position in the company would stabilize, ensuring he would not be affected by the forthcoming shakes in the wake of new management!

"Hello, Manager Chen."

"I'm Wang Minghao, a director from the third division of the HR department."

"Director Wu has sent me to assist you with your work; please command me for anything you need!"

As Wang Minghao spoke, he repeatedly bowed slightly, his face bearing a fawning smile, and his demeanor was that of an obsequious underling.

Seeing this behavior, Tang Jiaqi's last bit of hope completely vanished, and she was greatly shocked!

Because from Wang Minghao's attitude, it was apparent that he highly esteemed Chen Haiou, indicating that her status within Maetian Entertainment was quite high, at least far above that of Director Wang.

Previously, Wang Minghao had been treated like an emperor in their Hucheng Cultural Work Troupe, yet he still displayed such a sycophantic attitude towards Chen Haiou.

It meant that Chen Haiou's earlier statement about processing her resignation was absolutely authoritative!

With this realization, Tang Jiaqi felt utterly hopeless.

Begging for mercy was out of the question.
