“But if you’ve been in Urghchester, are there any companies in the country that can accommodate a big fish like you?” Madame asked curiously.
“Yes, there are. Langstel is about to build the Starlight Film and Television City,” Peyton said with a smile. “The Langstel City Government specifically brought us back.”
“What city?” Leo couldn’t help but ask.
“Starlight Film and Television City!” Peyton looked at Leo with disdain and his tone became slightly heavier. “Oz City’s Mr. Guzman invested billions in the Film and Television City project in Langstel. You don’t even know about it. You really are a country bumpkin!”
To be honest, Leo didn’t know about the project that Giovanny invested in Langstel, even though he owned a ten percent stake in it.
The words “country bumpkin” from Peyton made Leo very unhappy.
If Peyton became an employee of the Starlight Film and Television City, Leo would be his boss. It was intolerable for a subordinate to call his boss a country bumpkin!
Before Leo could explode, Madame frowned and glared at Peyton, saying coldly, “Is there something wrong with you? I already said it, I can scold my friend, but you have no right to do so!”
After saying that, she ignored Peyton and pulled Leo’s hand to the side. “Leo, there’s no need to pay attention to this arrogant snob.”
“Do you know where Mr. Fox was transferred to?” Leo asked Madame.
“I heard it’s the capital, but I’m not sure about the specific position,” Madame replied.
“Promotion?” Leo couldn’t help but feel happy for Noel.
“Well, it’s not that simple. On the surface, it seems like a promotion, but in reality, the power has diminished,” Madame sighed. The intricacies of the officialdom were sometimes even more complicated than the business world.
“But Mr. Fox seems quite happy. At his age, he can finally take a rest. Bringing such a big project to Langstel is also benefiting the people, fulfilling his good deeds,” Madame smiled again.
“Miss, take a look. This is a photo of my colleague with Dwayne Johnson,” Peyton approached Madame and took out his phone, showing her a picture.
“Not interested.” Although Madame said so, she couldn’t help but turn her head to take a glance at Peyton’s phone.
“Miss, I misspoke earlier. You don’t have to stoop to my level,” Peyton tried to please her. “Don’t worry, I guarantee that within a month, my friend will help you get a signed photo. If you’re lucky, you might even get tickets to a fan meeting.”
“Really?” Madame became interested again.
“Absolutely,” Peyton smiled, and then he gave Leo a threatening look. It was clear that he already saw Leo as a rival.
At the same time, to show his friendliness, Peyton extended his hand to Leo. “Hello, I’m Peyton. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask.”
“Hello, I’m Leo. If you need any help, you can also ask me,” Leo said indifferently.
At that moment, Noel, dressed in a black suit, walked up to the stage and addressed the audience, “Thank you all for coming to attend my farewell banquet today. Although I won’t be in Langstel anymore, Langstel will always be my home…”
“Miss Madame, believe it or not, Mr. Fox will introduce me in front of everyone later,” Peyton raised his head proudly.
“Of course, there are a few other film professionals who were hired from overseas,” he added quickly.
“Is that true? Do you receive such high treatment?” Madame asked.
“Of course, we are high-end talents in the film industry. The future development and direction of the entire Starlight Film and Television City depend on us,” Peyton said arrogantly.
“You’re going too far,” Leo raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. “With the abilities of a few of you, I’m afraid you can’t determine the direction of the Film and Television City, let alone the development of the entire Atraria film and television industry.”
“Hmph, what do you know? You don’t have any abilities yourself, so naturally, you think it’s impossible. People like us, elites who can influence the development of Urghchester in a foreign country, not to mention just a Film and Television City, can even influence the entire Atraria film and television industry!”
In order to save face in front of Madame, Peyton exaggeratedly boasted. Leo shook his head and smiled, not saying much. He didn’t really understand the film and television industry, but he was one of the bosses of the Starlight Film and Television City!
“Now, let me introduce a few special guests to everyone. In the future, Langstel and even the entire Atraria film and television industry may depend on them,” Noel said with a smile. “When I call your name, please come up to the stage, Nathan Fisher, Peyton…”
Upon hearing his name, Peyton straightened his chest, filled with pride, and walked towards the stage. As he passed by Leo, he muttered under his breath, “Country bumpkin, do you finally know who I am now?”
Leo couldn’t help but shake his head and sneer, then he dialed Giovanny’s number.
At that moment, Giovanny was at a banquet, drinking with some important guests. His secretary hurriedly approached him and whispered, “Boss, you have a call.”
“I said I’m not taking any calls tonight, didn’t I?” Giovanny said unhappily.
“But, you said that if this call comes through, no matter what the situation, I must notify you immediately,” the secretary quickly explained.
“Is it from Dr. Bloomer?” Giovanny’s face lit up, and he quickly got up, took the phone, and walked to the side. He answered respectfully, “Dr. Bloomer, hello.”
“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Guzman.”
“No, no, you’re not disturbing. What can I do for you?” Giovanny said politely.
“Well, it’s like this. The Langstel City Government has recruited several film and television professionals who have returned from overseas for the Film and Television City. Did you know about this?” Leo asked.
“I know, Mr. Fox personally informed me about it,” Giovanny replied.
“I came to attend Mr. Fox’s banquet today and found that one of these people is very unstable. So I wanted to ask you if I have the power to dismiss him directly,” Leo asked again.
“Of course you can!” Giovanny’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, “Not just one, even if you want to dismiss them all, there wouldn’t be any problem!”
“Dr. Bloomer, you are the second largest shareholder of our Film and Television City, you definitely have that authority!”
“Okay, Mr. Guzman, that’s all for now,” Leo said and hung up the phone.
Noel continued his speech.
“Let me introduce to you, these are the high-end talents I’ve brought back from overseas. They are all excellent filmmakers from internationally renowned film companies. The future development of our Starlight Film and Television City will rely on them.”
Noel praised these people in front of everyone. After all, the Starlight Film and Television City was also his hard work, and he was pleased to have recruited this group of talented individuals.
