Chapter 2. Entertainment world! Here I come (2)

"You don't have to visit me everyday"

"It's alright. I don't have any job to begin with"

I said softly towards my mother. My mother face had lost its luster, compared to before, it looked full of sadness.

It's already been a month since my father had died. My mother still hasn't gotten over the shock.

I sat at the chair close to the bed and started talking with my mother.

Me and my mother chatted about some trivial things but after sometime, she asked me a serious question.

"Ren, about the company, do you want to sell it?"

"Huh! Sell the company?"

The company she was talking about was my father's entertainment company, Global entertainment.

"Yeah, I know the company isn't doing good. So, I think it is better to sell it"

My mother said that with great difficulty. Father had spent his entire life on the company, I can understand what the company meant to her.

My father had only left the company for us. So, it was like a last belonging to us.

"But isn't the company something father spent his entire life on"

"Yeah…I know but you don't want to take over the company, right"

The previous owner of this body was never interested in his father's company. He didn't want to take over the company despite his father scoldings.

He had wanted to be a writer and study in a literary college. He had even gone abroad to study literature.

It was only after his father's health started becoming worse that he has to give up his studies and come to China.

As I was silent, mother words continued.

"Your brother also didn't have any interest in managing the company and he is still a high school student. I think we should better sell the company"

My brother name is Xin Feng, he is still a high school student and just like the previous owner didn't have any interest in managing the company. He is rather interested in music composing.

"I know the company is in loss but this is father's lifetime work, I don't want to sell it"

I didn't want to sell the company, no I can't afford to sell the company.

After coming to this world, I am thinking about a question, 'What will I do from here?'

Will I again take the path of becoming a director? Even if I want to do that, I will not be able to afford it.

First of all, I was a college dropout from a literary college, so no one in the industry will think of me as a director.

In the entertainment industry, if you don't have the qualifications from a good film academy, you won't be able to find work as a director.

I also don't want to go back to a film academy and study direction again for few years.

So, after thinking it through, I decided to make my career as the head of a entertainment company.

There were two reasons behind it.

First was my cheat, I can see other people star evaluation reports, this is the name I have given those statuses.

Although I don't know if they are true or not but it is less likely that it will be false.

I can literally tell if someone have the qualifications to become a star or not.

If I became a scouting manager, I would be the top in the industry.

The second reason was that I can literally recall all of the songs, movies and novels I have watched line by line in full detail.

I don't know if it's my second cheat or not but my previous life was like a book in my memories now.

I can just turn the pages to read everything that had happened with me till my death.

To my birth to the day I first received a job, I can recall everything in full detail.

If I decided to become a scriptwriter or a composer, I would easily be at the top because of the hit songs and movies in my head.

Although it will slightly hurt my conscience to plagiarize other people's work, I know the entertainment industry is ruthless.

Top artist will go to any length to ensure that there work should be a hit. If they know that there was a work which is likely to get hit, they will surely try everything to get it.

It also wasn't like that anyone would sue me for plagiarism. Famous people from my previous life didn't exist in this world.

If I made the right moves and selected the right artist, then I can become the entertainment king in this world.

Hollywood? Grammy's? All of it will belong to my company.

Although I know that my chances are not 100%, I at least know that they are very high.

I also want to see how far I can go on for.

That's why while looking at my mother's eyes, I said these words.

"Mother, I will take over father's company"

"Huh.….you will?"

"Yeah, I thought about it and father's lifetime work is too precious to sell"

'Even if I wanted to sell it, there would be no one who will be willing to buy it'

Although I thought those words, I didn't say it out loud but my mother's eyes were already in tears.

While hugging me, she sobbed and said.

"Oh, Ren…..your father will be…..proud of you….really you have…..grown very…..much"

While quietly sobbing, his mother keep hugging Ren. Ren felt a nice feeling when she was hugging her.

It was a feeling like his real mother was hugging him, although Ren had some difficulties admitting her as his mother but his heart and brain think of her as his mother.

He himself think that she is a caring mother and somewhat admitted her as his mother.

Ren kept hugging his mother for a long time. It was a soothing feeling for him to be hugged by his mother.

(3rd person POV)

Zhang Yufeng sighed as he looked towards his resignation letter.

He wasn't sure whether he should truly resign or not. He didn't wanted to resign from his job but seeing the company that is soon to be close always left him tears in his eyes.

He also have a family to care and his wife had been nagging him to resign soon and find a new job.

Although he didn't want to, he also agreed with his wife's thoughts, it's been already a month since the president had died.

Although the company was also in dire straits before but the president was holding it.

Because the president is there, he also didn't left the company as he have decided to believe in the president but now that the president had died, he don't have any choice but to resign.

The company was close to breaking down, most of the employees has left and the there are many vacant positions in the company.

They were close to being bankrupt. The worse part was that the president position was empty.

After the previous president's death, one of his family member should be the next president but there was no signs of it.

He knew that the president's share has been inherited by his son but he still haven't came to the company once.

Because of this, there is unrest between the remaining employees and rumours that the company is going to be sold is going around.

Ring!* Ring!*

As he was having thoughts about his resignation, his mobile phone rang.

He glanced at it and noticed that it was an unknown number.

He thought it would be those loan advertisements but he still picked it up.

"Hello"

-Hello, hello, are you Uncle Zhang?

The voice coming over from the phone was youthful and full of vigor. Zhang Yufeng didn't know who it was as there was no one who called him Uncle.

He didn't have any nephews and nieces, So he was wondering who it was on the other side of the phone.

-Uncle Zhang, it's me, Ren the president's son.

"President's son, Re, Ren"

-Yeah, Uncle Zhang, it's me. I have called to let you know that I am coming to the company in two hours and I need everyone who is a employee to be in the conference room.

"Two hours? Employees? Conference?"

Zhang Yufeng was really stunned to hear that the president's son was coming to the company and wanted everyone in the conference room.

He knew very little about the president's son as he was mostly abroad studying and didn't visit the company much.

The president also didn't talk much about him. They had only met in the president's funeral and not talk much before but he thought that Ren wasn't arrogant as he was calling him Uncle.

-Yeah, Uncle Zhang, I know it will be trouble but can you do that.

"Yeah....I will surely do that"

-Thank you, Uncle Zhang.

That was the end of the call and Zhang Yufeng was still skeptical about the call.

But he didn't have time to waste, if what Ren said it really true, then the person with the most shares in the company is coming. He had to prepare for it.
