Gabriel arrived, out of breath. Seeing Elio, he greeted him with great respect. "Chairman, we've all been eagerly awaiting your visit. Welcome!"Elio nodded and turned to the two women who had been so full of themselves. Their faces went pale, their earlier boldness gone.Who would have guessed that this ordinary-looking guy was actually the chairman, the secret big boss of several companies, the captain steering the Evamor Group, and a super-rich tycoon worth 150 million?Yessica felt sick with regret. She silently blamed her niece for being bad luck, making her, who was usually so clever, commit a huge blunder. She was no longer worried about her pride. She bowed quickly, saying over and over, "Chairman, I was so blind and offended you. I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, please forgive me..."Gabriel was shocked and speechless. What was happening? This woman had actually offended the chairman. She was really too daring.Elio chuckled calmly and scolded her, "You being a deputy g
On the plush leather sofa, Elio sat tall and proud. In front of him stood Natalee, a singer with a bit of fame in Cloudsea. Gone was her usual confidence, replaced by a sorry figure apologizing profusely. The scene was odd, especially since Natalee was so pretty and had such a stunning figure. Yet, her apologies made her seem even more appealing.Elio couldn't shake off the lingering sting of the false accusations from the previous night. However, with her offering an apology now, he recognized the importance of forgiveness when possible. Moreover, he couldn't deny feeling a twinge of awkwardness with her standing there, exuding such grace. Eventually, he relented, saying, "We're even now."Natalee stepped closer, her eyes brimming with tears. "Chairman, please, don't fire my aunt. I'll do anything you ask if you just let her stay," she begged.She was so upset about dragging her aunt into her mess. She would do anything to keep her aunt's job, even if it meant playing by some unsav
Natalee did not underestimate the young man in front of her. She was actually a bit scared of him. He had kept his true self hidden, fooling everyone. How clever he must be! As a tycoon worth 150 million, he could easily take care of anyone."Fine, but the old contract is out. The new terms might be tough, but it's up to you if you want to sign," Elio said calmly.That boss was trickier than a fox! With resignation, Natalee felt a chill and said, "Okay, I'll wait for the new contract to be printed and then decide."Elio gestured for her to leave. "Go on out and wait in the lobby. I'll call you when we're ready.""Sure, I'll wait outside."After bowing to Elio, Natalee left. That experience had changed her a lot. She had finally learned how to navigate the world.The general manager, Gabriel, and others were waiting in the hallway. When they saw Natalee leave, they went into the office to report to the chairman. Sunny pulled out an Apple laptop from her briefcase and started takin
After receiving Elio's call, Cherish quickly arrived at Rainbow Media. All she knew was that there was a problem with the contract. When she arrived at the general manager's office, she saw Elio, the general manager Gabriel, and Elio’s beautiful assistant, Sunny."You got here quick, Cherish." Elio stood up and greeted her with a smile.As a lawyer, Cherish had seen all kinds of people in her life. Even so, she would never have thought that Elio was the chairman of the entire corporation. She simply said with a chuckle, "Your affairs are my utmost priority, of course. What do you need my help with? Are you signing a contract to become an actor?""No way, you flatter me. I don't have the talent for this sort of thing." Elio did not want to reveal his true identity, so he told her this was his friend's company. The company wanted to sign an artist, so he wanted Cherish to help them draft a contract. Of course, the contract had to be in the company's best interests, and they wanted as
Elio frowned slightly. "Do you know each other?"Cherish smiled and said, "Of course. We're childhood friends. We've been neighbors since we were young. We're practically sisters! It's just that Natalee has been working overseas recently. We don't talk as much anymore, but we’re still close.""Yes, we've been best friends for years. This is wonderful! Once I sign a contract with Rainbow Media, I’ll stay in the city, and we can spend so much more time together!" Natalee said happily.Cherish suddenly remembered the contract she had just drawn up. Was it targeting Natalee? She frowned and turned to Elio. "She's my good bestie, so I hope you’ll take care of her. Don't give her any more grief, okay?"Natalee was touched. Tears welled up in her eyes. Cherish was like an angel, swooping down in time to save her!Elio feigned confusion. "Why are you asking me that? I don’t have that much power or influence."Cherish rolled her eyes. "I'm not blind. The general manager of Rainbow Media a
When she arrived at the general manager's office again, Natalee saw the contract. She read it carefully, noticing the huge changes and harsher conditions. There were many new restrictions, and it would bind her for eight long years. If she ever broke the contract, she would have to pay a huge compensation.Her hands began to tremble the more she read the contract. After thinking about it over and over again, she finally nodded and signed the contract. Just like that, she became Rainbow Media’s first artist.Someone popped the champagne, and everyone else raised their glasses to celebrate the deal. Only Natalee could not taste the sweetness of the wine. It just tasted bitter in her mouth!Fortunately, Elio took her aside to speak to her. "Success doesn’t come easily. As long as you work hard enough, we will spare no effort to make you famous. Also… I can help you cure your body odor. Consider it my compensation."Natalee burst into tears. After all that, he finally acknowledged her
Elio was gratified. "That's good. Go back and rest, then report to the company tomorrow. You have potential. As long as you're willing to work hard, the company will let you shine."Although he was around her age, Natalee admired his attitude and demeanor. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she stared at her new idol. He had so much charisma!After spending some time with Elio, she had definitely changed a lot. Before leaving the company building, she actually sought out Yaffe, the security guard, and apologized sincerely.Yaffe was taken aback by her actions. After all, he was used to being trodden on. He never expected a rich and beautiful celebrity to apologize to him like that. Feeling flustered, he quickly said, “It’s alright. I don’t mind.”When he heard that Natalee had officially signed with Rainbow Media, he congratulated her from the bottom of his heart. "Good going, miss. You will surely make it big soon."His words put Natalee in a good mood. She once again unders
A cold light flashed across his eyes. Elio frowned. Why were there always some ignorant fools out to ruin his day? What did his scooter ever do to them?He turned around and saw an old-fashioned Nissan Teana. A man with a round face poked his head out of the window and glared at him fiercely.The man was in his thirties. His short hair stuck to his peach-shaped scalp, and he wore a gold chain around his neck. "What are you looking at?! Yeah, I'm talking to you. Move your stupid scooter aside. I want to park here!"The passenger side window rolled down, revealing a woman slathered in makeup. She berated Elio impatiently, saying, "Can you get lost already? You don’t deserve to be here. If my wedding photoshoot ends up delayed because of you, you won't be able to bear the consequences."It was not as though they looked richer than him! Besides, they really were a couple — a couple of trashbags!Elio wanted to drag the man out of the car and beat him up. On second thought, however, it
