Chapter 250
Pearl frowned and looked into his eyes. “No way. Have you ever seen a company president with as much free time as I have?”
Hanzel had to admit that it made sense, so he dropped the topic and continued to sulk.
“We might bump into Clem Gutor at the company, so you better behave. He’s a little weird, so I’m worried…” Pearl paused, but Hanzel caught her drift, and a sense of unease washed over him.
When they arrived at the office, Pearl noticed that everyone was making an effort not to address her as the president, and she couldn’t help but smirk internally. She had called Wayne beforehand to make sure that nob*dy referred to her by her official title, and it seemed her instructions had been followed.
Pearl led Hanzel into one of the offices, where Brilliance Entertainment’s acting president was waiting for them. His eyes widened when he saw Pearl personally coming to meet him, causing him to stammer a bit.
“W-What brings you here?” He hesitated because he wasn’t sure how to address her in this situation.
Pearl smiled, as he sounded like he was picking a fight. “I’ve scouted a new artist for Brilliance, and I’m sure you’re familiar with him.”
The acting president looked at Hanzel and nodded. “Of course, of course. Isn’t this Hanzel Waldorf?”
While Hanzel had been focused on his acting career in the past six months, none of his projects had been aired yet, which had slightly diminished his popularity compared to when he first debuted.
Many fans had been speculating that he had left the entertainment industry, constantly checking his Twitter account for updates. However, since Hanzel wasn’t very active on social media, he had lost quite a few followers. He had transitioned from an A-list celebrity to a B-lister.
Nonetheless, at just twenty-something years old, Hanzel had a promising career ahead of him. He was a multi-talented artist who could act, sing, and had good looks, guaranteeing a bright future in the entertainment world.
“I’ll start making the necessary arrangements for him to join the company.” The acting president smiled, though his smile seemed… servile, in Hanzel’s opinion.
“That’s it?” Hanzel had expected an interview or some kind of assessment before joining the company. “I don’t need to join a training or go through an interview?”
The president thought about it and nodded. “You do make a valid point.” He then glanced at Pearl, whose expression had become quite serious. “However, for you, there’s no need for any of that. I’m sure you’ve received extensive training at your previous agency, so we won’t require you to go through it again here.”
The president chuckled as if he could do no wrong.
Hanzel was stunned by the sudden turn of events. He hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
Pearl nodded with satisfaction. “If that’s the case, you should stay here, Hanzel. By the way, Mister Clem isn’t working with any artist, right? Let him handle Hanzel.”
The president’s mouth hung open in disbelief. “Mister Clem…”
“What’s wrong?” Pearl inquired.
The president recalled that Clem had been experimenting with new, rigorous training methods, which had led to some complaints from artists who found his methods tough and exhausting.
However, since Pearl had personally brought Hanzel into the company, he didn’t dare to object and merely mentioned that this was an order from higher-ups.
Hanzel, who was now the second person Pearl had introduced to the company, wouldn’t slack off. However, if these two were paired up, something bad might happen…
“It’s fine. I’ll talk to Mister Clem!”
