Chapter 173 Welcoming Ceremony
Arya rolled down the window. “I’ll call you as soon as I’m done.”
Allen looked at her dotingly. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
They did not need any extra words between them. One look was enough to read each other’s heart.
Arya turned back and watched Allen’s figure disappear. Only then did she slowly think about welcoming ceremony.
There was still an hour before the ceremony began.
Arya followed Melinda’s instructions and waited in the secret waiting room.
Everything was ready. Melinda told Justin about the two of them handing their resignation letters and felt it was ridiculous.
The two of them relied on betrayal and scheming to survive in the entertainment circle until today but still did not make any progress. The Aorai made them what they were today but they were not grateful.
The desire for fame and fortune had completely devoured them.
“Welcome back!”
When the old Aorai staff saw Justin, they greeted him warmly. “We’ve been waiting for you!”
Justin nodded with a smile and walked into the elevator.
Coincidentally, Maria walked in with Clara. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
“I’m really looking forward to the welcome ceremony. Director Palmer, you’re not leaving this time, are you?”
In the past, Justin was the Artist Director of Aorai Entertainment. Now that the position was still vacant, the old employees still call him that.
Justin looked at Maria, who was standing in front of him. Her back was proud and there was only malice in her eyes.
“Yes, I’m not leaving.”
Maria heard his snorted in disdain. She walked out of the elevator and waited for Justin.
Justin also walked out.
“Save your energy. When you left the Aorai, the Aorai didn’t have its current scale. We were the one who accompanied Director Carter until today.”
“Don’t tell me you can just sit back and enjoy the fruit of our labor?”
“I never thought about it that way. Don’t put your thoughts on people.” Justin replied coldly.
“Is that so? Wait and see!” Maria glanced at him and revealed a meaningful smile.
Justin knew what she was thinking. He looked at her indifferently. “I have waited for five years. I do not care about this short period of time. It should be mine. I will not compromise.”
“The Aorai has developed to this day. It is not because the two of you. Without you, the Aorai will be even better.”
If it was before today, Maria would still be worried about these words. But in the morning, she and Walter had already threatened Melinda. Which one was more important? It was impossible for Melinda
not to understand that the person who would be eliminated would only be Justin!
Thinking like this, Maria was even more confident.
She lifted her chin arrogantly. “I think you’re the one who’s dreaming!”
“Since you chose to leave, why did you come back?”
“The internal department of Aorai has already changed a lot. Director Carter only has some old feelings for you. If I were you, I would leave as soon as possible. This way, it will benefit everyone.”
Maria left with Clara, leaving Justin in the same place.
Justin heard the success and contempt in her words clearly. His handsome face revealed a helpless smile.
“Five years of time has made you all become even more ignorant.”
As time approached, Luna kept looking at the time. She was even more nervous than Arya.
“There are still 20 minutes left. Luna, sit for a while.” Arya said softly.
“What do you think Maria is thinking? Every time she wanted to frame us and stop us. In the end, she actually used the Aorai’s artiste to threaten Director Carter!” Luna felt that it was inconceivable.
“For the sake of desire, are there not enough people in the entertainment circle who keep fighting over people?” Arya slowly replied.
“The higher you climb, the more miserable you fall. I really look forward to her expression after a while!”
Luna rubbed her hands and poured another cup of hot water for Arya. “She is so arrogant and believes that Director Carter will be threatened by her. But in another 20 minutes or so, she will wake up from
her dream!”
When she thought that Maria would fall from the clouds to hell, she felt very excited.
Everything was Maria’s own fault.
“Melinda will not tolerate her anymore.” Arya covered the coldness in her eyes and her voice was a bit cold.
…
At three o’ clock in the afternoon, the welcome ceremony officially began.
There was already news that the once gold medal manager of Aorai, Justin, had returned from abroad. The relationship between him and the artist Rachel had been dug out by the paparazzi. The original venue of the internal welcome ceremony was packed with reporters.
“Do you know why?”
“I don’t know, but this Justin has a lot of influence overseas. Back then, he went overseas due to an emotional injury. Now that he’s back, the Aorai must have spent a lot of money to invite him back!”
“Then which artist does he want to take over the Aorai?”
“Maria and Walter from the Aorai are very powerful. They shouldn’t be the artistes in their hands. It’s hard to guess.”
The reporters exchanged guesses.
Maria stopped Walter at the entrance. “Since Director Carter has decided not to use Justin, why should we continue this welcome ceremony?”
She felt very uneasy.
Walter was very calm. “The news has already been released. If we suddenly cancel, it will attract the reporters’ suspicion. We will probably use other news to file it.”
When Maria said this, Maria felt much more at ease.
“I want to see him lose everything again!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Walter turned around with a smile and went to the other side to wait for Melinda. After that, Walter accompanied Melinda into the arena while Maria sat under the stage to coordinate the work.
In the middle of the seats on the stage was Melinda, on the left was Walter, and on the right was the senior manager of Aorai.
Melinda looked at her watch, smiled at the audience, and then picked up the microphone.
“Everyone, please be quiet. Our welcoming ceremony will begin soon.”
“First of all, I have to thank everyone for coming. What I am about to announce is very important to the future of Aorai. It is my honor to share this joy with everyone.”
“The Aorai has been developing for many years, and it has already reached the level of expending its business. The three subsidiary companies will officially open at the end of the month. Currently, they are recruiting soldiers and horses. I hope that we can advertise here and deliberately join the Aorai. The salary and treatment will definitely satisfy you.”
Hearing Melinda say so, Maria’s worried heart fell to the ground.
It seemed that she was not going to mention Justin. In the crowd, she raised her head and exchanged a look with Walter.
Their plan had succeeded!
However, Melinda saw her expression.
When everyone thought that this was today’s theme, she opened her mouth again and gave Maria a fatal blow.
“Most importantly, I invite an old friend back today. He used to be the Artist Director of Aorai and will also take on the role of Aorai’s Artist Director in the future. He is Justin, everyone please give a round applause and welcome him.”
Melinda took the initiative to stand up and looked in the direction of the door.
Everyone turned around to look. Justin was dressed in a silver white suit. He was elegant and had a temperament. He slowly walked onto the stage and stood beside Melinda.
At this time, Maria and Walter were both stunned. Their hearts were incomparably flustered.
Melinda was not threatened by them.
She even used her actions to give them a burning slap.
Impossible!
Could it be that Melinda was not worried at all that they would poach the Aorai’s artistes?
