Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 719: Deeply Rooted Feelings (164)

"What about your official duties in the underworld?"

"I asked my father to delegate them to my brothers. When he asked why I needed to pass them to someone else, I told him I had to accompany my woman and had no time for that."

"Your father must want to strangle you."

"No, my father has so many sons, losing one who doesn’t focus on serious business won’t make any difference."

Gu Lili’s red lips curved into a smile, "It’s getting warmer, shall we go take a family photo?"

"Sure."

The next morning, Gu Lili was woken up by a phone call before she had a chance to wake up naturally.

She glanced at the caller ID; it was from Long Yubei.

"Hello..."

"I’ve checked. The singer competition starts next month. I’ve already passed on the instructions. Your artist can start preparing the songs they want to sing and practice well."

"Okay." Gu Lili asked before he could hang up, "Why are you going to the office so early?"

"It’s already half-past eight, not early anymore."

"Ah?!" Gu Lili sat up, looked at the time again, "Why didn’t my alarm wake me up!"

"I turned it off for you; I wanted you to get a good sleep."

"Long Yubei!!!!!!"

"It sounds nicer when you call me Beibei."

Gu Lili hung up the phone, quickly got dressed, grabbed her bag, went downstairs, took a sandwich, and headed to the garage.

When she arrived at the office, a group of people waiting for the meeting were all waiting for her.

Although the company was hers and she could come whenever she wanted, she still felt somewhat embarrassed to have so many people waiting.

"Sorry, I overslept. Thanks for waiting. Please, take a seat." Gu Lili sat down, "I have good news for everyone. The singing competition starts next month, Tan Xiao, you can start preparing the songs you want to sing. We will also hire two more teachers to guide you in areas where you lack. Tan Xiao, this is a great opportunity for you to shine, you’ve got to push hard."

Tan Xiao was particularly excited, "Thank you, Sister Lili, I won’t let you down."

"Mm, give your best effort and leave no regrets." Gu Lili’s gaze fell on the other four, "You continue to learn and hone your acting skills. Once ’Chun Jiao’ starts airing, our company will consider investing in a new TV series. Who will be chosen as the lead will depend entirely on whether your performance is up to scratch."

At these words, everyone showed a look of joy.

Gu Lili continued, "As I always say, the company rules are clear, and you have a clear understanding of them. Those who violate the rules, this is the last warning—don’t blame me for severe consequences. The penalties for breach of contract are well known to all of you. If you want to make it in the entertainment circle, you must impose strict self-discipline. If you can’t even manage yourself, what’s the use of trying to make it in this industry? Whether it’s time to study or date, remember these things well. Know what you want and strive towards that direction. Don’t aim for the impossible. In this circle, only when you become a top name will you have the qualifications to do so. Lastly, although our company is small, we are still very ambitious and driven. Therefore, I plan to hire a new assistant to help me. Once I find the right person, you can come to them with any issues."

Gu Lili indeed had this intention; she would be hands-on with the company, but she couldn’t spend all her time on it every day. She also wanted to spend quality time with her children. She decided to hire an assistant and, after thinking it over, she would ask Long Yubei to help her find someone capable and trustworthy.
