Chapter 156
Conn didn’t know what Sophie would do to handle him.
She said, “Your first option, stay at the company, but you’ll never get another role to play.”
Corin looked genuinely shocked.
Sophie continued slowly. “Your second option, switch to Burke International’s entertainment division. I’ll write you a recommendation
letter.”
Corin paused, seemingly not expecting such a good deal. “Really?”
“Absolutely.”
“Then I choose the second option!”
Corin was overjoyed. Who would stay at the lackluster Russell Entertainment when he could move to Burke International?
“You can go now. I’ll introduce un
you to Burke Intemational tomorrow. I think they’ll be eager to have you,” Sophie said with a smile.
Though Corin wasn’t a top star, the Russell family had invested a lot in him, making him quite popular. Burke International’s film division always liked to poach top talents from others.
However, this was not necessarily a good thing. After all, Corin had a slew of undisclosed scandals behind him. These scandals were like a ticking time bomb, ready to impact any company that signed him.
After sending Corin away, Reece suddenly walked into the office.
Noticing Reece’s frowning and hesitant expression, Sophie knew he had overheard her conversation with Corin.
“Why are you sending Corin away?”
To any outsider, moving to Burke International was a step up.
Sophie, eager to avoid any misunderstanding, explained, “He thinks moving to Burke International is a good thing, but he doesn’t realize that it’s actually his misfortune.”
In her past life, Conn had climbed up thanks to a female executive at Burke International’s film division. She heavily promoted him, not realizing the scandals lurking behind him, which eventually led to massive compensation claims against Burke International’s film division. This incident had left the division struggling for years. Sending Corin there was merely accelerating their downfall. When Reece did not respond, Sophie curiously asked, “Don’t you have a press appointment today? What brings you here?”
“I heard Corin was causing trouble, so…” Reece trailed off.
After spending the last few days together, Sophie had realized that Reece was a man of few words.
Reading Reece’s mind, Sophie smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.7
After a moment, Reece said, “Then I’ll get back to work.”
Sophie nodded. Once Reece left, she looked at the pile of documents on her desk, her lips curving slightly upward.
Sophie had confidence, and she was determined to crush James‘ confidence.
Although Russell Entertainment was a small enterprise, the media could influence an entire business chain.
Russell Entertainment would be her bargaining chip in the divorce with James.
Sophie had been lying low in Russell Entertainment, and after three months, she finally received good news.
The wasteland she had purchased six months ago was now fully landscaped. Thanks to Jenna’s strong investment, Devonport’s largest commercial street had been established,
Sophie had cautiously carried out the development to avoid drawing industry attention and unnecessary trouble.
The day the shopping district was completed, all the stores moved in, and Russell Entertainment invested heavily in promoting it across various platforms.
As the public became aware, the shopping district seemed to have sprung up overight. Previously unnoticed, it had now quietly completed.
And with the establishment of the shopping district, it was Burke International that was thrown into chaos.
Burke International convened an emergency meeting, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was exceptionally tense.
