Chapter 583:
Finally, one of the department heads raised their hand cautiously. “Ms. Campbell, isn’t this shift a little... drastic?
We don’t have any experience in entertainment or media.”
After the department head voiced their reservation, the room immediately buzzed with the ssentiment. “It's
far too risky!” one person exclaimed.
Sitting back, Carrie confidently crossed her legs and said, “My previous agency contract is over. I'm now officially
the first talent signed to our own venture.”
She pointed towards Ruby. “Ruby, my previous agent, has shepherded many successful careers and has access
to extensive resources. She will oversee the development of new talent and manage our business partnerships.”
She then introduced Camille. “Camille might be new to the entertainment business, but she is well-connected
and deeply knowledgeable about the industry.”
Turning her chair with a sense of resolve, Carrie continued firmly, “Business is fundamentally about leveraging
principles across contexts. I'm not suggesting any of you step into the spotlight. Your operational and managerial
roles will not change; the essence of your work remains the same. As original members of this firm, your efforts

company.”
She paused to let the implications settle. “However, | understand if my vision seems overly ambitious. Anyone
feeling uncertain is free to depart. I'm grateful for your support of my mother and this company throughout the
years. Those who opt to leave will receive a generous severance.” The room lapsed into thoughtful silence.
The bare job market made their situation more pressing—university graduates were scrambling for work, and
their outdated resumes did not promise a better outlook. The idea of starting over, possibly under much younger
leadership, was unattractive.
Feeling their hesitation, Carrie added, “I'm developing a new script. Unlike my previous projects sold to Silver
Elephant Media, we will co-produce this one under our banner. If you're not familiar with my work, a quick online
check will show that my scripts have consistently delivered returns of at least thirtyfold.” She delivered her final
persuasive pitch. “I have the option to build a new team from scratch, yet this company is my mother’s legacy,
and you all are its cornerstone. Should you decide to stay, | am prepared to triple your salaries effective
immediately.”
A middle-aged woman seated nearest to Carrie was the first to react, raising her hand. “I'll stay.”
Her declaration set off a domino effect. One after another, initially uncertain employees declared their intention
to remain. Carrie, having braced for only half the team’s retention, was taken aback by the unanimous decision
to stay. The majority were long-standing employees who had helped her mother establish the firm. Carrie valued
their loyalty deeply and recognized that their continued presence would simplify her leadership transition.
With the team’s commitment secured, delegating new tasks and roles was executed with ease.
Carrie tailored responsibilities to align with each individual's proven strengths and past roles, setting clear goals
for all.
By the meeting's conclusion, the once listless atmosphere within the company had completely revitalized. A
wave of energy and anticipation swept through the team.
Though the future remained uncertain, the reality of significantly higher salaries was immediate and promised to
appear in their upcoming paychecks.
At a twhen rival firms were reducing staff and cutting pay, their company was investing in its people. This
alone galvanized the team. They were ready to embrace any challenge Carrie might propose, even if it meant
venturing into space.
