Chapter 305 - 304: South Is About to Start Punishing the Scum~
"What happened? Just get to the point." South Grant noticed that Shawn Grant wasn’t prioritizing.
"Quincy Irving is a shareholder of Grant Group, and like me, he manages a subsidiary of Grant Group, Vanguard Entertainment. Quincy Irving’s daughter’s boyfriend, Hugo Lynch, also participated in this variety show. His ability is on par with Caleb Holt, and both of them could potentially win this championship. But at this point, Hugo Lynch revealed that his knee pad had needles hidden inside. Only his assistant and close contacts could access Hugo’s belongings. This needle-hiding incident enraged the organizers, who demanded a thorough investigation. The organizers reviewed the surveillance footage and saw that the only people who entered the room where Hugo’s belongings were placed were Caleb Holt and Leo White."
Shawn Grant said it all in one breath, and South Grant’s expression didn’t look good.
With such an incident, Caleb Holt’s future is almost ruined, so it’s no wonder Shawn Grant is angry.
"South, what should we do? Now Weibo is blowing up, and everyone is paying attention and discussing this matter. I paid for PR to suppress it, but it keeps coming up again, and we can’t hold it down at all."
South Grant looked at Shawn Grant, who was sweating anxiously, and remained silent for a moment.
She had met Caleb Holt, a newly signed talent who had just graduated from Aethelgard Media.
He didn’t seem like the kind of person who would be scheming and ruthless, but appearances can be deceiving. Without knowing the real situation, South Grant didn’t dare to conclude what was going on.
Shawn Grant mentioned that he had done PR, yet the hot topic remained, which could only mean that someone else was paying to keep the buzz going.
There are only three possibilities now.
First, Caleb Holt did it himself.
Second, he was framed by other artists, because once he’s out, others have a chance to compete for the championship.
Third, this incident is baseless, and Hugo Lynch hid the needle to frame Caleb Holt.
South Grant leaned more towards the last possibility. After all, she had a poor impression of Hugo Lynch, thinking of him as a scoundrel capable of anything.
"Call Caleb Holt over. I want to ask him what’s going on." South Grant said, sitting down in the office chair while Shawn Grant stood up to give her space.
"Didn’t you hear? Go and get Caleb Holt over here."
"President Grant, Caleb Holt isn’t at the company right now." The assistant said nervously.
"If he’s not at the company, where is he?" Shawn Grant asked.
"You forgot, you told him to go home and stay indoors for a few days." The assistant reminded him.
Shawn Grant slapped his forehead, realizing his panic had made him forgetful.
"It’s fine if Caleb Holt isn’t here. Bring Leo White over instead." South Grant said.
After the assistant left, South Grant looked at Shawn Grant and said:
"Uncle, you can’t manage things like this. There are so many artists in the company, and if you throw all the resources into one person, it will likely cause dissatisfaction among the others. If the atmosphere within the company becomes unhealthy, with colleagues scheming against each other, it won’t be beneficial for the company’s long-term development."
Shawn Grant is someone who likes the grandiose and does not appreciate being told what to do, preferring to hear praises instead.
So when South Grant pointed out his flaws, Shawn Grant naturally wasn’t pleased.
At this time, the assistant had already brought Leo White over. Upon entering Shawn Grant’s office, Leo White was evidently a bit nervous.
But South Grant could understand. Anyone would know that Shawn Grant had a bad temper, and being summoned to his office usually meant trouble.
"Yu Fei, don’t be nervous. Tell me what happened that day."
At this moment, Leo White looked up at South Grant sitting behind the office chair, recalling the events of that day.
