Chapter 1271 The Storm Is Coming (Part 1)

• First off, the MV’s success shot the once-unknown band Faith straight onto the execs’ radar. The company finally noticed the potential—and let’s be real, the business value—of these guys they’d left to collect dust in a corner. So they started plotting, ready to repackage and relaunch them.
• Belinda Hayes had just gotten back to Millsborough. During a break, she heard the news and was thrilled. She felt like her decision really helped Little Wu and his crew. Truth is, because the company never cared about them, she had covered the entire MV budget out of her own pocket for Faith. She didn’t even tell Chadwick Fullner—no need to pile on him; she always made money faster anyway. Thankfully, Little Wu and the guys proved themselves. They knew how cold the entertainment world could be, so they were even more grateful to Belinda.
• But Xiaoman wasn’t so upbeat. She was worried sick. After Little Wu and the others left, she finally said, anxious, “Miss Belinda, I heard something. Sister Yang’s an old hand at the company. She’s got reach and resources, so they used to value her a lot. But now your rise has blown past her ceiling. Plus, she hates your personality. And back when Little Wu’s crew joined that talent selection, she was the main person in charge. They lost because Sister Yang prefers guys who are young, hot, and pretty-boy handsome. Then Little Wu’s team blew up overnight, and the higher-ups started doubting her eye for talent. Worst part? The company’s promo and production teams are tied up with her interests… I heard she sneaked her brother in to run things. Every MV easily costs a few million, and she skims off the top. So this time, Sister Yang got zero benefit and now she’s getting grilled by the company. I bet she’s pissed—and you know her temper.”
