After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

This sudden wealth came so unexpectedly that Liu Cui was a bit dazed. She opened her mouth and stared at Yang Hao blankly, taking a good while to come back to her senses.

"You want me to be the director of the Artists Department at Maetian Entertainment?"

"Mr. Yang, I didn't hear you wrong, did I!"

Liu Cui's expression slowly turned to excitement; she had just been promoted not long ago, and now there was another opportunity for promotion!

Of course, that wasn't what shocked her the most. The most shocking thing was that the boss had actually acquired Maetian Entertainment!

The market value of Maetian Entertainment was only a little lower than that of Tianmei Media, making it a giant in the eyes of ordinary artists!

And now Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment were owned by the same boss!

Actually, Xiao Yinqiu beside them was also very shocked; she had just been chatting with Zhou Ziqing, who was a signed singer with Maetian Entertainment, and she hadn't heard anything about Maetian being acquired.

If it was really as Yang Hao said, Maetian Entertainment was now his property.

Then, the chances of Zhou Ziqing getting out of being shelved would probably turn around, just like when Yang Hao miraculously took over Tianmei Media!

So, it was absolutely great news for Zhou Ziqing!

Of course, from the personal development point of view of Xiao Yinqiu, this was also good news. Yang Hao had acquired Maetian Entertainment, naturally inheriting its resources, and with both companies having the same owner, sharing resources would be the norm. Xiao Yinqiu, an artist with a rising career, would thus have access to even more quality resources.

Moreover, with Yang Hao's strong backing, Xiao Yinqiu had no need to worry about any hidden rules.

Well, unless the person who wanted to take advantage of her was the boss himself!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yinqiu couldn't help but think of that night when she was watching the stars on the balcony and heard a sound coming from below. Then, she couldn't help but return to her bedroom to reward herself. The next day, she was embarrassed to bump into Yang Hao in the elevator.

Xiao Yinqiu had thought this was her own little secret that no one else could possibly know, but she didn't realize that her boss had the System's assistance. That morning, when Yang Hao saw Xiao Yinqiu acting a bit strange, he used the "Listening to Heartbeats" skill, and he found out about this little secret that made Xiao Yinqiu feel so ashamed.

So, when Xiao Yinqiu thought about the possibility of the boss making a move on her, her first reaction wasn't to resist but to feel shy. She even inadvertently thought of the sounds she heard that night.

Xiao Yinqiu's thoughts had clearly gone off track, while the conversation between Yang Hao and Liu Cui continued.

"If you are not ready, I'll go ask someone else."

"No, no, no!"

"I've been ready to dedicate myself to Mr. Yang for a long time!"

Liu Cui quickly expressed her loyalty.

However, her words were obviously ambiguous. Realizing this, she quickly corrected herself, "Dedicate all of myself to the company!"

"Love?"

"Not even dogs do that! I'm going to put all my energy into my work!"

Liu Cui, with a serious face, declared as she pretended her A-cup to be a B-cup.

"Good!"

"That's the right attitude!"

Yang Hao nodded with a smile, "Continue with your work at Tianmei for now, then recommend someone suitable to replace you, and gradually hand over."

"Understood, Mr. Yang!"

"I guarantee to complete the task!"

Liu Cui made her stance clear once again.

"Well, I won't disturb your work any longer."

Yang Hao waved his hand and nodded to Xiao Yinqiu before turning to leave.

"Mr. Yang, let me see you out!"

Liu Cui quickly followed, her face filled with a flattering smile that was in stark contrast to her usual uprightness.

Xiao Yinqiu also stood to see him off but didn't fawn over him like Liu Cui did.

"Cui, I just saw on your face the kind of person you hate the most."

After Yang Hao had left, Xiao Yinqiu teased, patting Liu Cui's shoulder.

"Right!"

"I felt the same way," Liu Cui nodded and added, "But really, I couldn't control myself!"

"I even kind of understand them now. It's not that I hate bootlicking; it's that licking boots hasn't gotten me a proportional return!"

"Mr. Yang's boots, I feel, are worth licking for the cost-effective ratio."

Liu Cui seriously analyzed.

"So, you consider the cost-effective ratio even when sucking up, huh!"

Xiao Yinqiu, stroking her smooth chin, muttered a quiet tease.

"You always have to consider the cost-effectiveness in whatever you do, right?" Liu Cui shrugged, still not out of the joy of her imminent promotion.

For an agent like her, who'd been frustrated for so many years, suddenly getting such an opportunity was something she naturally cherished immensely.

"Mr. Yang has acquired Maetian Entertainment!"

"That's good news for Ziqing!"

Xiao Yinqiu suddenly remembered her good friend Zhou Ziqing and quickly picked up her phone again, which now had several unread messages from Zhou Ziqing. Find your next read at empire

Zhou Ziqing: I've written quite a few new songs recently, but it's a pity I can't release them.

Zhou Ziqing: Qiuqiu, you must be getting busy.

Zhou Ziqing: Let's talk when you're free, I've got nothing but time lately...

From Zhou Ziqing's messages, Xiao Yinqiu could sense that feeling of dejection, and having had a similar experience herself, she especially understood her friend's current mood.

Xiao Yinqiu directly sent a voice call.

"Qiuqiu, haven't you started working yet?"

Zhou Ziqing answered the voice call in a second, curiously asking.

"Not yet!"

"I've got some good news for you!"

"Good news?"

"Is it about you?" Zhou Ziqing felt it was already good enough if there were no bad news given her current situation.

"Of course it's about you — why else would I make a voice call!"

"Huh?"

"About me??"

Zhou Ziqing on the other end of the phone was clearly very surprised.

"Yes, it's about you!"

Xiao Yinqiu didn't keep her in suspense and said straight out, "Our boss has taken over Maetian Entertainment!"

"The vice president who shelved you will probably struggle to save himself, so, you should be able to make a comeback soon!"

"Ah!"

"Maetian Entertainment has been acquired??"

From the phone came Zhou Ziqing's shocked voice. Maetian Entertainment was valued at six or seven billion— it wasn't easy to be acquired, so upon hearing this news, Zhou Ziqing's first reaction was disbelief.

She thought it must be some unreliable rumor.

"Qiuqiu, are you sure about this news?"

"Who told you, I haven't even heard about it!"

Although Zhou Ziqing had been shelved, she was still from Maetian Entertainment and had some good relationships with staff in the company, yet she hadn't caught even a sniff of this news.

"Our boss said it himself, he's even sending Cui over to Maetian Entertainment to take up the role of head of the Artists Department!"

"If you haven't heard the news, then keep this quiet for now, I guess the news hasn't reached your side yet!"

Xiao Yinqiu was quick to react, noticing that her friend hadn't heard anything, she realized the news must still be confidential, so she warned her.

"Your boss?"

"That Mr. Yang who helped you??" Zhou Ziqing asked curiously.

"Yeah, him."

"So, based on what I know about him, if he really has taken over Maetian Entertainment, you'll definitely be able to make your comeback!"

Xiao Yinqiu said with absolute certainty.

"Is that so..."

Zhou Ziqing on the other end of the phone responded, then suddenly fell silent.

"Ziqing, what's the matter?"

"This is good news; you should be happy!" Faced with her suddenly silent best friend, Xiao Yinqiu was puzzled.

"Qiuqiu, I want to ask you a question, don't get mad, okay?"

"Is there anything we can't ask each other? Just ask!"

"Well..."

"Did you really not accept any under-the-table deals?"
