Chapter 1246
The company had somehow managed to survive for the past few years. Although Shirley was now the most popular actress, her
business value was still low. Deciding to risk offending Xavier, the board of directors hesitantly suggested replacing Shirley with
someone new. Everyone was prepared for Xavier's wrath, since they all knew that Shirley was his favorite.
However, to their shock, he wholeheartedly supported the idea.
"I was thinking the same thing! In Shirley's case, we've lost more money than we've earned. She doesn't deserve all our
resources," Xavier said firmly from his seat in the middle of the conference room.
"What?! Mr. Stuart, you agree to replacing Shirley? That's... unbelievable!" Ryan Wallace, the person in charge of marketing,
exclaimed in disbelief.
"Was I not clear, or do you have trouble understanding me, Mr. Wallace? Isn't it normal for us to replace someone who isn't
performing well? Why are you so shocked?" Xavier's eyes narrowed as he rested his chin on his hand casually. The atmosphere
immediately became tense.
"No, of course not!" Ryan quickly lowered his head and mumbled, "I was just surprised, that's all. After all, you gave up
everything to promote her, even going back on your own principles!"
"Well, things change. We have to treat all our celebrities fairly regardless of their seniority and fame. We'll fire anyone who
disobeys that rule," Xavier announced.
At that moment, someone entered the room with a message for Xavier. Generally, Xavier would tell them to wait until the meeting
was over, but Xavier's expression changed immediately when he heard Leia's name. He got up and clapped his hands loudly,
startling the others in the room. ’ Alright, let's stop here. We can always continue tomorrow if there's anything else that needs
discussing. It's about time for me to get off work."
After that, he pushed the chair away and left quickly.
The members of the board of directors looked at each other in shock.
"Why did the president suddenly change his mind? Has he finally given up on Shirley?"
"Hah, he's probably found another pretty face. Whoever it is, I hope she's better than Shirley. If not, this year's financial report will
be terrifying!"
"Didn't you guys hear? I heard that his new girlfriend is Ms. Leia Osborne!"
Gasps and whispers echoed around the room. Leia? Wasn't she Xavier's enemy?
"Well, if that's true, it certainly makes for a good story. It may make us money if we turn it into a movie," Ryan rubbed his chin
and said contemplatively.
