After all, Celine was an A-list celebrity with her own connections, and her business capabilities were quite good as well. She could be said to be a walking cash cow.
A female artist like her was willing to sign with Fenghua. Naturally, everyone was very happy.
Jason was clearly very satisfied with their reactions and only raised his hand to interrupt their excited voices after some time.
“There’s one more thing. This lady beside me is Skylar Terrell. Most of you might not have met her before, but she has been in the industry for more than ten years, so I believe you’ve at least heard of her name.
“The reason I brought her here is to announce that from today onwards, she will become our new PR manager and lead our public relations to a new level! We will develop the company and make it better and stronger!”
When the words fell, the whole room plunged into silence.
No one seemed to react, but after a few seconds, several bursts of applause sounded.
Then, their eyes all turned to Nell.
Their gazes were filled with sympathy or regret, as if they finally confirmed the rumors from this morning.
Some who did not know Skylar’s history asked their colleagues, and their eyes towards Nell also became somewhat complicated.
After all, Nell’s ability was evident to them. However, with Skylar’s qualifications, naturally, her abilities were not bad either. Since President Morton had already brought her here, they had nothing more to say.
In the end, there were still one or two on good terms with Nell who stood up indignantly and opposed the news. “I object!”
“I object too! As we all know, the current PR manager is Nell Jennings. She has always done a good job and lent a helping hand in the company’s most dire times. She was the one who took the PR department to where it is today. It’s all thanks to her. Isn’t President Morton being too flippant by just replacing her?!”
“That’s right! Ms. Jennings didn’t make any mistakes. Even if President Morton wants to replace her, there should be a reason, right? Although Ms. Terrell is a veteran and used to be a very famous publicist, I heard that she hasn’t worked on many cases in the past ten years, so we don’t even know her current capabilities. If she fails, wouldn’t this be a mistake?”
The questions were like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, making the others react as well.
Indeed, although Skylar was famous back then, that was ten years ago.
The popular artists in the entertainment industry had changed several times already. Would Skylar be fine if she came out now to continue doing PR?
Jason knitted his brows slightly at the questioning gazes.
Just as he was about to speak, his sleeve was suddenly pulled gently.
Celine shot him a look, and Jason pursed his lips. Then, he saw Skylar smile and step forward to say, “Everyone, you’ve misunderstood!”
Her eyes swept across the crowd before finally landing on the indifferent Nell.
“President Morton didn’t hire me to replace Nell Jennings. Ms. Jennings works hard and brings a sense of stability to the people of Fenghua. How could President Morton make such a chilling decision?”
The crowd was confused by her words.
“Then, what did President Morton mean?”
Skylar smiled and said calmly, “As we all know, Fenghua is no longer the humble and small company from two years ago. Now, the only one who can rival us is Anning International.
“In other words, our only enemy is none other than Anning International. I believe I don’t have to explain how powerful Anning is. Everyone must already know.
“In order to fight with such a company, we require not only strong business abilities and fast reaction speed, but also a deep understanding of the industry along with a broad network.
“However, these two points happen to be what Ms. Jennings lacks most. After all, she only has two years of experience. This is the reason President Morton invited me. He simply wanted me to help her manage the PR department together and assist her regarding information and contacts in the industry. That’s all.”
It was only then that it dawned on the crowd.
So that was it.
They had to admit that Skylar was right.
