Chapter 14 Quit
Chapter 14 Quit
After all, Jessica was a first-tier star, with popularity and decent business ability. She could bring money
to every company she worked for.
Hence, everyone was happy that such a female artist was willing to sign a contract with Century
Entertainment.
Shawn was obviously satisfied with this effect.
After a while, he raised his hand slightly to interrupt the excited voices in the conference room.
"In addition, there is one more thing. The lady sitting next to me is called Julia. Most of you present
here may not know her, but for those who have been working in the industry for more than 10 years, I
think you must have heard of her name.”
“Today, I bring her here because she will become our new PR manager and lead our PR department to
a new level in the future to make great progress, and to make our company better and stronger!"
The conference room fell into dead silence after he finished his speech.
Everyone seemed to be caught unexpected, and it took several seconds before a few sparse
applauses were heard.
Then, all eyes were turned to Natalia.
There were sympathy and regrets in those eyes, as if they had finally confirmed the widespread rumors
in the company this morning.
There were people who didn't know about Julia's background. After inquiring their colleagues about it,
their gaze became somewhat complicated when looking at Natalia.
After all, although Natalia's outstanding ability was obvious to all, considering Julia's qualifications, her
ability wouldn't be inferior to hers.
Since Mr. Miller had already hired her, they couldn't say anything.
In the end, there were still one or two colleagues who would stand for Natalia. After seeing this, they
stood up indignantly and uttered their objection.
"I disagree!"
"I don't agree either! As we all know, our PR manager is Natalia. She has been doing a good job. She
lent a helping hand when the company was in the most critical time. She led the PR department all the
way to this day. Isn't it too hasty for Mr. Miller to fire her?"
"Yes! Miss Natalia didn't do anything wrong. If Mr. Miller wants to replace her, you must give us a
reason, right?”
“Although this senior Julia used to be a very good and famous PRers, she hadn't dealt with any cases
for ten years, and I wonder if she's still capable now?”
“If she isn't, won't it be a waste of time?"
Like a stone being cast into the lake, their challenges instantly stirred up a thousand waves, causing
the rest of the employees to stand up and back for her.
“Yeah, although Julia was prestigious, it has been ten years since her peak time.”
“The popular performers in the entertainment industry have changed several times. Is it okay for her to
continue to be a PRers now?”
With doubtful stares from the crowd, Shawn frowned slightly.
As he was about to speak, his sleeve was suddenly tugged by someone. Jessica gave him a hint.
Shawn pursed his lips, and then he saw Julia smiling slightly and stepping forward to address the
public.
"It is just a misunderstanding!"
She gazed around the crowd and finally landed her eyes on Natalia.
“Mr. Miller did not invite me over this time to replace Miss Natalia. Miss Natalia had worked hard and
had a stabilizing effect on Century. Why would Mr. Miller make such a unwise decision to disappoint
you all?”
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help wondering.
"Then what did Mr. Miller mean by his words?" Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Julia smiled and calmly said.
"As we all know, Century Entertainment is no longer a small and insignificant company as it was two
years ago. Today, apart from Annita International, we hardly have any competitors.”
“In other words, we have no other enemy except Annita International. I think anyone knows how
powerful Annita is. It takes more than sophisticated business skills and responsiveness to overpass a
competitor like that. It requires a profound understanding of the industry and a wide range of
connections.”
“These two aspects happened to be what Miss Dawson lacked the most. After all, she had only worked
in the position for two years. That's why Mr. Miller asked me to come over.”
“However, he just wants me to help Miss Dawson manage the PR department, and fill in the gaps with
respect to industry information as well as networking. That's all."
Everyone knew what Mr. Miller meant after listening to Julia’s speech.
So that was it.
It couldn't be denied that what Julia said was true.
Today, individual capabilities were actually not that important compared to rich financial resources,
strong connections, and the deep understanding of the industry.
One must be well-prepared for the future, and it was true that one could only develop these abilities by
accumulating enough experiences and being immersed in the industry for a long time.
Everyone seemed to understand it, and only one person raised a question.
"Since Julia will be the manager of the PR department, what position Miss Dawson will hold?"
The crowd looked at Natalia.
Shawn glanced at her. After remaining silence for two seconds, he said in a deep voice.
"Natalia will be demoted to assistant manager! She should learn from Julia first. There will be plenty of
opportunities for her to get promoted in the future."
The crowd was startled and speechless.
It was not uncommon to make mistakes and be demoted.
But Natalia had made great contributions for the company, and it was really embarrassing for her to get
demoted rather than promoted after what she had done for the company these years!
Natalia finally showed a hint of sneer.
Under everyone's gaze, she calmly stood up and propped her hands on the table to look at Shawn,
who was sitting in the host seat.
"Mr. Miller, you said I'm lack of experience in understanding the depth of the industry as well as
connections, do you have any evidence or specific cases to prove that?"
Shawn was in a daze.
He had to admit that every case handled by Natalia was done well, and...there was no evidence to
show that she was lack of anything.
Natalia's clear, cold eyes stared at her and sneered.
"Since you don’t have any proof, what makes you so sure that I will definitely lose to Julia in these two
aspects?"
Shawn didn’t answer her questions.
Natalia smiled coldly as she watched his stumbling looks.
She stayed up late to read materials and learn case studies to understand the industry in the past two
years.
In order to pull in contacts for Century Entertainment, she, who had never liked to socialize, had
attended many black-tie parties.
For numerous times, she directly vomited on the table in order to bring more resources to Century
Entertainment.
For numerous times, she worked overtime until midnight and returned home exhausted, only to be
revived by a call from the brokerage department.
It was said that whenever something happens to a performer from the Century Entertainment, the
matter was always resolve in a prompt manner.
However, no one understood how much hard work and sweat was behind this.
Shawn couldn't see it, or he avoided it deliberately.
Now he even demoted her, blaming her lack of qualifications.
Everything seemed so ridiculous, and Natalia had never felt so despaired.
Even though she was ready to resign, she didn't expect Shawn to do such a shameless thing to her.
Shawn remained silence for a long time, and finally said in a serious tone.
"Natalia, this is a chance for you to learn, to be humble and in the future..."
"There isn’t a future!"
Natalia sneered and pulled her resignation letter from her notebook suddenly.
SNAP!
The letter was thrown in front of him.
"Isn't this what you want? I agree! I just don't want to stay in this company to be bullied by you. You can
invite anyone to take charge of the PR department. I quit!"
