Chapter 521: Qin Muran’s another conflict

Linda evidently didn’t approve of such thinking. "Imperial Palace" was an opportunity she’d taken a long time to get hold of. Moreover, Qin Muran only got more popular because her name was being associated with this show now. If she did well in the show, she might even have a chance at the awards.

Once she became the Queen of Films, her net worth would be very different. Although it was true that she’d be able to find other opportunities in the future, some opportunities required a stroke of luck and were hard to come by. What’s more, if she went back on her word this time, she might lose the trust of other collaborators in the future.

"Muran, I don’t approve of you breaking the contract," Linda commented.

Qin Muran did not take her manager’s words into consideration. She insisted. "I don’t care. I want Ji Yi’s role and that’s that."

"You..." Linda became pale from anger. This was the first time she saw an artiste placing so little importance on her future.

But upon thinking about how Qin Muran was going to be married into the Xi family and would still be Xi Yaohua’s wife without having to work in the future...

It made sense that she didn’t need to have too many considerations about her future. She did have what it took to be willful.

But this was precisely the type of artistes that Linda detested. They weren’t sincere about working hard for their career simply because they knew they had a back-up plan if the current one failed. Such artistes wouldn’t go far.

Seeing how willful Qin Muran was, Linda was starting to consider her own future instead, for the first time ever. She was wavering. She was someone with enough resources and experience. And she’d groomed several artistes under her. However, she’d never been able to groom a King or Queen of Films so far.

Qin Muran’s looks were decent, and her acting was also alright. But even with all the resources pumped into her, she wouldn’t be able to emerge as an Influential Queen of Films. If they were looking at awards that she’d have to earn on her own accord, she surely wasn’t good enough.

Moreover, Qin Muran wasn’t obedient at all and wouldn’t act according to her manager’s plan for her career progression. How was she going to groom her this way? If she continued to stay in Global World Entertainment, she’d definitely only have Qin Muran alone under her wing. But she couldn’t see any more hope in Qin Muran.

"Linda, did you hear me!"

A high-pitched voice rang out by her ear, snapping Linda out of her daze. She looked up and saw Qin Muran’s angry glare, and then heard her instruct her as if she was a housemaid, "If you can’t even get such a simple thing done, then don’t be my manager anymore! I don’t need such a useless manager!"

Qin Muran’s attitude was already bad usually, but she’d never gone this far. This time, she’d lost all rationality after being angered by Ji Yi. She completely embarrassed Linda.

Linda was a highly-regarded manager in the industry, after all. Xi Yaohua himself had to put in a few kind words to get her to groom Qin Muran alone and no one else.

But now Qin Muran was calling her a useless manager. She’d been tolerating Qin Muran all this time only because of Xi Yaohua. But she couldn’t deal with this any longer.

The moment Qin Muran said this, she saw Linda’s face darkening. Linda’s attitude and tone changed, and she was no longer as polite as before, "Qin Muran, I’m your manager, not your subordinate. Watch your tone."

"W-What did you say?" Qin Muran was stunned for a few moments before her expression turned awful. "What’s with you, do you have to be so fierce? You’re the one who has to watch your tone, not me. I’m your Lady Boss. Are you supposed to be talking to your Lady Boss like this?"

"Lady Boss?" Linda finally understood why Qin Muran had never treated her like a manager. She’d been seeing her as a subordinate all this while.

Linda smirked, "Qin Muran, if I remember correctly, you’re not married to Chairman Yaohua yet, are you? If so, how are you my Lady Boss?"

Linda didn’t see a need to mince her words any longer. She couldn’t tolerate Qin Muran’s terrible temper. She was bent on giving up this job, even if Xi Yaohua was offended by her decision. As a highly-regarded manager, it made no sense for her to put herself through all this because of Qin Muran.

"Linda, what do you mean by this?" Qin Muran could tell that Linda was planning on calling this partnership off. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used such a tone.

Linda eyed her directly, "Miss Qin’s temper is out of control for me. If you think I’m useless, then get Chairman Yaohua to find you a useful manager. We can end our partnership here. I will let Chairman Yaohua know about this personally. I believe that Chairman Yaohua will be able to find an excellent manager for Miss Qin, one who will act according to all your wishes. But since we’ve been working together for so long, I see a need to offer you some advice. Whether you want to internalize it or not is up to you."

Qin Muran was dumbfounded. She’d never imagined that Linda would have the guts. She was Xi Yaohua’s woman, the future Lady Boss of Global World Entertainment. Was this small fry not afraid that she’d have Xi Yaohua fire her right away?

Linda could guess what Qin Muran was thinking. But at this point, she didn’t care anymore. Since she’d made up her mind, she was ready to face the consequences. Given her reputation and capability, it wouldn’t be hard for her to find another company after leaving Global World Entertainment. There was nothing to fear.

Moreover, she’d been wanting to leave Global World Entertainment for a while. Ever since Xi Yaohua took over, her authority had diminished significantly. She used to have the final say regarding most artistes under Global World Entertainment. But now, only Xi Yaohua had the right to make the call. Xi Yaohua was a rather proud man, and he never considered her input.

She’d had her grievances for a while already. But she’d stayed for the time being, mainly because she did have some sense of belonging at Global World Entertainment after all these years.

"Qin Muran, if you wish to make it big in the entertainment circle, you definitely have to put in more effort and take your job seriously. Otherwise, even if Chairman Yaohua supports you and gives you all the available opportunities, you’d still fall short. Also, your looks actually aren’t very suitable for the film and drama industry. I suggest you take on some variety shows and such. You might shine in this area more than you do in acting."

Linda meant every word she said. Qin Muran’s acting was decent for idol dramas riding on the actors’ and actresses’ popularity. But for blockbusters or shows requiring more technique, her flaws would only be amplified.

She had brought this up to Xi Yaohua before, but he supported Qin Muran in acting because he said that that was her dream. Back then, Linda went with it since Qin Muran’s acting wasn’t that terrible, and she had Xi Yaohua’s backing. She didn’t say anything anymore. But now that she’d decided to resign, she might as well speak the truth.

Qin Muran was furious and addressed her by her full name, "Xie Linda, do you even want to keep your job? Do you know the consequences of saying all these? I just need to put in a word and I can get you out of Global World Entertainment immediately."

Was this a threat?

Linda smiled and shrugged, "It doesn’t matter to me. Those were my honest sentiments. Consider them seriously."

The elevator reached the first floor, "Ding." The doors opened.

Linda walked out without taking a second look at Qin Muran’s now menacing expression. Seeing how she just left without a moment of hesitation, Qin Muran’s jaw dropped.

"Xie Linda, don’t you regret this!" She yelled at the distant figure.

There were still a few audition candidates in the main lobby of the first floor.

Most of them could recognize Qin Muran. Linda was also a renowned manager who had a wide network.

Seeing how one of them was still in the elevator while the other was already leaving the building, both of them with awful expressions, those standing around began speculating.

[Is that Qin Muran? She and her manager are in conflict?]

[It seems like it. She has really got the guts to make her manager this angry. Is she not worried about the consequences?]

[Consequences? I heard the Chairman of Global World Entertainment is her boyfriend, what does she have to be afraid of?]
