997 Announcing A Personal Affair

“I didn’t drive to work today.” Baili Jia Jue glared at his elder son who was playing with the reapers against the wall, before taking a glance at the reporters standing guard outside the building. The corners of his thin lips gradually hooked up into a smile as he said, “Come and pick me up from work. We can stop by the supermarket together. Then, we can go home...”

Helian Wei Wei did not doubt him at all and replied immediately, “Great, I’ll go and pick you up later. I’m going to end the call, I still have some things to be done.”

Baili Jia Jue looked at the call that had been cut off, but he did not feel any unpleasant premonition. Instead, the smile lingering at the corner of his lips grew.

Baili Shangxie still had both of his small arms suspended in the air. He seemed unbothered as he pondered silently to himself. Jue Wei Group has so many cars, father could easily just order someone to drive him home. Why did he insist on having Imperial Mother pick him up? What are his motives?

Is it because of the reporters out there?

A glint of light flashed through Baili Shangxie’s pair of scarlet eyes.

Could it be that Father wants to...

“President Jue, the reporters outside are all ready.” Manager Zhang, who was in charge of corporate publicity, walked up to him with a warm smile and added, “I’m not sure what President Jue intends to announce. All the reporters present are very excited, but they are also worried that they might accidentally ask about a topic that they must not touch. Hence, I’m here to ask you about this in advance. Is there anything that you don’t want to speak about?”

Baili Jia Jue crossed his long legs, his side profile was charmingly handsome as he replied, “There’s nothing that they shouldn’t bring up, because...” He paused and raised his eyes with what seemed like a smile on his face, as he met Manager Zhang’s eyes, continuing, “This time, I’ll be announcing a personal affair.”

Personal affair?

Manager Zhang’s eyes widened, and for a moment, he lost his professional demeanor.

However, one could not blame him for reacting that way. Every worker was well aware that their boss had always been a mysterious person, ever since he moved to A City.

He was a famous person, and was widely known by people from A City and nearby cities. Especially those who worked in the same industry, very few would be unaware of Baili Jia Jue’s existence. Many people racked their brains for ideas to be acquainted with him. Furthermore, when the media heard his name, they would all be fighting to obtain first-hand information about him.

However, the media dared not do so. They simply could not afford to provoke this man, who was as all-powerful and overbearing as an emperor.

Manager Du, who was previously in charge of corporate publicity, foolishly angered him by bringing a large swarm of reporters to the building for an interview. Consequently, he was directly sacked by President Jue from the Jue Wei Group and his future in the industry was completely impeded.

Now, the president is voluntarily holding a press conference to talk about his private affairs?

Manager Zhang felt the world around him whirl as if he was hallucinating, wondering if he had heard him wrongly.

“What is it?” Baili Jia Jue put his ballpen down and raised a brow at him, asking. “Do you have any questions about this?”

Manager Zhang immediately shook his head and stuttered, “No, definitely not.”

“I’ll make sure that the media are ready for the press conference now.” Manager Zhang reverted to his diligent workaholic self and replied meekly, “I’ll be taking my leave now, President Jue.”

Baili Jia Jue merely nodded in response.

However, Baili Shangxie began, “Manager Zhang, please help me to look for a manager.”

“A manager?” Confused, Manager Zhang froze in his tracks. If other children spouted such a thing, he would have coaxed them with candies. However, these words were uttered by the little demon boss. Every member of the internal upper management of the Jue Wei Group knew better than to mess with this little child.

He was different from the other regular rich children. He did not have to rely on anyone’s strength and would send chills down people’s spines, once they had witnessed what he could do to them.

Manager Zhang had always wondered to himself about the person President Jue raised this crazy genius with. He could make people surrender themselves to him just by standing there, even though he was merely a child.

“That’s right, a manager.” Baili Shangxie remained standing still, with his arms locked above his head as a punishment. Therefore, he could only stare at Manager Zhang and spoke coldly, “I need a Golden Plaque Manager to help me make my debut.”

“Debut?” Manager Zhang felt that shocking news came at him today, wave after wave. The debut that Little Young Master spoke of, is it the one that I’m thinking about?

Baili Shangxie continued apathetically, “I want to officially enter the entertainment industry from now on. You will have to see me more often in the future. Other than a manager, you better get me a thrifty assistant. Otherwise, Manager Zhang, I will fire you.”

Manager Zhang was rendered speechless. D*mn it! He was in charge of corporate publicity and not human resources. Why am I the one that is sacked if Little Young Master can’t find a suitable assistant?

“I’ll try my best to find one.” Manager Zhang felt remarkably helpless. It was the 134th time that he was overwhelmed with the urge to resign.

However, apart from having a hard time serving both Masters, the rest of his job had always been smooth-sailing. Especially his pay, the figure itself was too high to forgo!

“Yes. You don’t have to worry about finding an assistant so soon. You can first look for some of the best Golden Plaque Managers and call them up, then invite them over.” As the little one spoke, his tone was extremely cool.

However, when a child made such a statement, while leaning against the corner of the wall with both arms raised, the scene was undeniably very comical.

Manager Zhang was trying extremely hard to suppress his laughter. Only when one of the best Golden Plaque Managers in the entire entertainment industry walked in looking lost, he could finally let out a sigh of relief.

“President Jue, did you ask to see me?” The Golden Plaque Manager was undoubtedly the best, as he could efficiently analyze the atmosphere the moment he set foot into the office. As his eyelid started to twitch, he could more or less figure out that the person who was looking for him was not Manager Zhang, but instead... What is the little demon boss doing in that position? If I’m not wrong, is he being punished?

The Golden Plaque Manager only took one glimpse at Baili Shangxie and dared not peer again. After all, everyone knew that they must never provoke the little demon boss, even if he seemed very adorable now!

Baili Jia Jue’s voice still sounded graceful and clear. Even though he did not look up, he still exerted an insurmountable pressure on the people around him, as he said, “I’m not the one looking for you.”

Then? The Golden Plaque Manager was a little baffled regarding the situation, as Manager Zhang only told him over the phone to come to the office as soon as possible, without further information. Even the secretary who was sitting outside the office knew nothing about it. According to his usual routine, there was no reason for him to be called to the top level of the building, because he was merely a small leader of the entertainment industry in Jue Wei Group after all. No matter how outstanding he was, he was merely a manager. So, why am I summoned here?

“I’m the one that asked Manager Zhang to recommend me to a manager and he chose you.” The little one’s back was pressed against the wall. Then, he pursed his lips forcefully and continued, “I’m not in a good position to retrieve the documents. There’s an agreement on top of the desk, go and take a look at it. If there’s no problem, please sign it. I want to debut immediately.”

Debut? Recommendation?

His reaction was similar to Manager Zhang’s.

The Golden Plaque Manager’s straight back instantly went numb. He quickly glanced at Manager Zhang, wondering furiously to himself. We were schoolmates and have known each other for so many years, how could you frame me like this?
