Chapter 41 Old Acquaintance Met

Brian had already opened the door for her and asked respectfully, "Mrs. Mccarthy, where are we going now?"

Natalia turned her eyes and glanced at the safe in the backseat.

A moment later, she answered in a gentle voice, "Let's go home first!"

After returning to Mccarthy Mansion, Mrs. Dottie saw Brian carry a large safe, and thought that Natalia must have bought some precious jewelry.

Mrs. Dottie came to greet them happily. However, she didn't expect to see a very ordinary necklace when they went upstairs together and opened the safe. Although the design was exquisite and the shredded emeralds on it looked nice, it didn't seem valuable enough to be kept in a safe.

The result was quite unexpected, and Natalia was quite embarrassed.

Brian prepared the safe in case there were valuable items that would be difficult to transport. Anyhow, they were passed down from her mother.

To their surprise, it was just an ordinary necklace.

Natalia could not help but laugh. She was happy to get what her mother had kept for her finally.

She stood by the window and studied the back of the necklace in the sunlight.

There were some engravings on it, the initials of her mother's name, M-C-W.

Her mother had died suddenly, and everything in the house had been taken over by her stepmother and half-sister. The items in the safe were the only items that left to her. Thinking of this, Natalia feel her heart burning with nostalgic emotions.

She went to the mirror, took off a silver collarbone chain she usually wore, and put on this antique necklace.

Fortunately, the necklace was exquisitely crafted, and even though the style was a bit old-fashioned, it didn't look strange on her.

She smiled, put the necklace into her dress and covered it with her collar. Then, she patted her chest with satisfaction, and then turned around to walk out.

In the afternoon, Natalia went to Star Entertainment.

The company, Star Entertainment, had been transferred to her for several days. She was very busy then, and could hardly spare any time to visit the company in person.

Before she came, she had called the person in charge by phone and informed them about her schedule today.

When she arrived at the company, it was 2 p. m. sharp.

The person who received her was a deputy manager surnamed Norris.

Entertainment companies were different from other companies, because artistes made up the majority of the employees. Compared to companies in other industries, there were not many employees working in the office on a daily basis.

This was especially true for Star Entertainment, a company on the verge of bankruptcy. No one was willing to sit there and wait for death, not to mention that Star Entertainment was acquired by another company and the boss had changed as well. This was something every employee knew.

How the new boss intended to handle the company remained a mystery. Anyone who had a plan or had some connections had already left, or secured another job before the acquisition was finalized. Those stayed were just newbies who were still dazed and had no idea what to do.

Dennis Norris, the deputy manager brought Natalia to her office and gave her a brief introduction of the current situation in the company.

Natalia analyzed it carefully and found that it was similar to the information she had gathered.

There were only ten artists in the Artist Department right now. There was a five-member male group signed last year.

Although it was called a group, it would be more appropriate to call it a forced binding of a bunch of artistes whose talents were not that obvious.

The rest were just a few yet-to-be-famous artists. Their best works up till now were only roles as eunuchs or courtesans in period dramas, etc.

As for the Agency Department, the few capable agents had left long ago, and those who stayed were fresh graduates whose abilities were no better than the artists.

As for the Public Relations Department, it was simply good for nothing.

Was it a joke? What was the point of doing PR when the artists were not popular at all?

Why not just make something happen so that they could get more exposure in the public?

Even if they became infamous, at least they would achieve some fame!

Natalia carefully went over issues in other departments. They were also in terrible conditions.

Dennis reported to Natalia, with an awkward but polite smile.

"President Natalia, this is the current situation of our company. All the reports are here. Do you want to go through them again?"

Natalia shook her head.

What was the use of going over them again?

It did not change the fact that they had 10 artists but was lack of resource.

She sighed helplessly.

Dennis also knew that the company's situation was difficult.

But the fact was that he was just a temporary manager. He was working as a secretary before.

As the company was about to close down and everyone ran away, he was temporarily appointed as the deputy manager.

It was not easy to keep the company the way it was now.

"At the moment, our company is suffering from a shortage of resources due to a lack of working capital. If we don't have enough capital, we can't pull resources we required. Without enough resources, we can hardly sign any artist we'd like to work with. This had led to a vicious cycle to the point today."

Natalia understood it was not easy for him. She remained silent and waved her hand.

"Alright, just leave the reports here for now! I'll replace a way to solve the capital problem. Thank you so much for your effect. You can leave now!"

Dennis nodded and left.

After he left, Natalia went directly to the Artist Department.

Artists were the core of the business for an entertainment company. Natalia had only gotten a rough idea of them in the documents, but had not met them in person.

At this time, several others had already gone out for auditions, and only the male group remained in the company.

There was a very hot online talent variety show scheduled next month. The boys group's chance to stand out was slim, and the company was fully aware of it. So in such a desperate situation, they just wanted the group to have a try anyway.

Therefore, they were practicing dancing in the exercise room now.

When Natalia arrived, they were practicing vigorously.

She did not go inside to disturb them, and only observed them outside through the glass windows.

To be honest, even as the boss, she could not go against her conscience to say that they were great.

The competition in the domestic idol market was fierce. As far as the male singing and dancing group were concerned, these guys had neither amazing appearances nor amazing talent. Their qualifications were indeed at an average level.

It seemed like all that was left was to put into more efforts.

It was a pity that in a place like the entertainment industry, effort was the least worth thing.

Natalia watched them for a while, and then left.

The few artists going out for audition, two men and three women, returned in the late afternoon. Natalia unexpectedly discovered that one of the girls she actually knew.

Laura Davies.

Natalia had met her several times when she held the position of PR manager at Century Entertainment. Laura graduated from a renowned drama school and was considered to have a professional background. Although her looks were not the currently popular V- shape face, she was still quite cute and clean. Among the newcomers, her acting skills were outstanding.

But perhaps due to the limitations of her round face, she was not able to secure any good resources. Later, when her contract expired, she terminated her contract with Century Entertainment.

Natalia never expected that she would end up in Star Entertainment!
