Chapter 318 - 317: Many Schemes
When South Grant saw them, he immediately activated the recording function on his phone.
At that moment, he heard everything Hugo Lynch’s manager was saying.
It was Hugo who did this, and South Grant wasn’t surprised at all.
What shocked him was that Leo White actually knew about this.
Not only did he know, but he also kept it a secret.
He let everyone throw dirt on Caleb Holt, and South Grant thought to himself how blind he must have been to choose him as the leading man.
"What if Leo White uses this to threaten us in the future? After all, this incident is a stain. If our President Warren finds out I helped you, I’m afraid I’d lose my job."
The deputy general manager was still hesitant, thinking of Leo White as a ticking time bomb.
"Deputy General Manager, think about it. Would Leo White dare to say anything? If he does, it would give Caleb Holt a chance to clear his name, and Leo would earn a reputation of betraying friends and being ungrateful. What good does that do him?
Besides, I’ve already made arrangements. Isn’t Leo White’s next movie competing with Hugo Lynch’s? Once filming is finished and before release, I will announce that we’ve found the person who planted the needle — it was one of Hugo’s assistants, who did it out of spite."
"Wouldn’t that give Caleb Holt a chance to clear his name?" The deputy general manager was puzzled about why Hugo’s manager wanted to do this.
"Not at all. Caleb Holt, after this incident, will surely be unable to recover. From what I know about his current boss, Shawn Grant, he is someone who is profit-driven and disloyal.
Caleb Holt is bound by numerous advertising contracts, and Shawn Grant will surely cut ties to avoid losing money. Caleb will definitely resent him.
I think Caleb Holt is quite a promising talent. Once Shawn Grant terminates his contract, I’ll sign him up and then reveal this matter.
This way, not only will we clear Caleb Holt’s name, but we’ll also step on Leo White’s back, since Leo had plenty of chances to explain to fans that Caleb was innocent.
Yet he didn’t, and his words and actions tacitly encouraged everyone to suspect Caleb Holt.
Such a person will be blacklisted by all the fans. When their movie is released, the box office will definitely suffer, though Hugo Lynch’s current popularity doesn’t require us to deliberately undermine the competition’s ticket sales. But to be foolproof, it’s still necessary to do this."
After hearing what Hugo’s manager said, the deputy general manager couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and praise:
"Truly impressive."
At this moment, a smug smile appeared on Hugo Lynch’s manager’s face.
"In our circle, how can you survive without some tricks? Shawn Grant is simply incompetent at managing an entertainment company and doesn’t know how to use talent. Any promising potential is wasted in his hands.
Caleb Holt participating in this ’Rhythm of the Heart’ program was totally the wrong move. He’s a talented actor, and with a little more polishing and marketing, his popularity wouldn’t be any less than Hugo Lynch’s. But Shawn Grant wasted lots of resources on things that didn’t benefit him."
At this moment, South Grant glanced at that manager and thought to himself that this person was indeed a talent.
With such a unique vision, no wonder Hugo Lynch became so popular within just a year. His business skills were quite strong.
South Grant’s lips curled slightly. No matter how strong you are, it’s pointless.
When you encounter South, no matter how strong, I’ll turn you into a cockroach everyone wants to stomp on!
