Claire had already looked into the matter. Without hesitation, she responded, “Many of them had been harmed by the Jenkins Group. Tve spoken with a few artists, and they believe that the Jenkins Group it only promoting them again because
of you.
“On the surface, they seem to be given a fair chance at resources, with all the right words being said. But knowing how the executives and managers operate, it likely won’t be long before things return to how they were.
“So they’d rather must that joining our studio will offer them better opportunities than put their faith in the Jenkins Group’s executives again. Some still hold onto their resentment, unwilling to compromise with those who once suppressed and mistreated them. The problem was that they had nowhere suitable to go
“Most entertainment companies weren’t willing to take in artists who had lost popularity or had no market presence- reviving their careers would require more resources and effort than simply developing new talent. Because of these factors. along with ongoing contract obligations, they had never made the move.
This time, seeing Garrett join our studio and immediately gain valuable opportunities made them take notice. Meanwhile, the Jenkins Group pressures them to sign new contracts, extending the contract duration and significantly increasing the penalty for early termination, making the terms even harsher”
Jenkins Group implemented these measures and contract terms to guard against Phoebe, which showed their apprehension toward her. Everyone in their studio felt both excited and proud.
Phoebe couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief. “So that’s how it is” Then, with a playful glint, she smiled and said. “Alright, since Jenkins Entertainment is practically handing them over to us, we’ll be sure to take them in properly. Reviving an artist’s career or turning an unknown into a star is what we do best.”
She added. “I realize this could become a defining feature of our studio–a key selling point. It showcases our strong ability to create stars while giving those worn down by life renewed hope.”
She instructed Wendy and Claire, “Look into
them.”
twenty or so artists. If there are no character issues, go ahead and sign
She pulled out a few profiles and said, “Judging by their facial features, these individuals don’t fit what our company is looking for. Exclude them for now. These people were either morally corrupt or had questionable intentions.
The others‘ facial features seemed fine. Phoebe instructed them to investigate any personal issues further and filter them accordingly.
Wendy asked, surprised, “Are we accepting so many artists all at once this time?”
Phoebe smiled and said, “Since Jenkins Entertainment is so afraid of us growing stronger, let’s prove them right and make it happen.” She indeed had plans to expand the studio’s operations.
Now, she saw an opportunity with Ollie and his team practically delivering talent and attention to her. She wouldn’t idly sit if Ollie thought he could suppress her studio. It was the perfect chance to show him what they were capable of
She emphasized, “But before you accept any of these artists, let them know that just joining our studio doesn’t guarantee instant fame.” Many times, it wasn’t that some people couldn’t rise to fame, but they lacked the opportunities to do so.
“But we will map out the best path for them–one that, as long as they follow, will ensure their careers don’t stagnate. Whether it’s helping faded artists return to the second or third tier or even reach the top, we’ll rebuild their reputation and make sure they have roles and songs to sing.”
Becoming famous was inseparable from both talent and luck. Phoebe couldn’t guarantee that every artist in the studio would rise to fame. All she could promise was that she would do her best to find suitable opportunities for them.
Wendy and Claire agreed, “Alright, we’ll clarify everything with them in advance.”

It wouldn’t be worth it if everyone switched studios solely for the chance to become an overnight sensation No guarantee that joining a new company would make them stars.
Success required the right mindset, talent, and dedication—that was the foundation. Without the ability and perseverance to. back it up, even with significant investment, any fame they gained would be short–lived.
The two of them chuckled and teased. If Mr. Jenkins and the executives knew, they’d realize that the more they try to tighten things up, the more people will jump ship to us. Wonder if they’d be frustrated to death”
Phoebe smiled and said. “They’ll be frustrated for sure. But that’s what they deserve no need to worry about them”
The two of them nodded. “Alright? Given how they had treated Phoebe in the past, they would be pleased if the people Jenkins Entertainment were frustrated enough to collapse.
Wendy thought momentarily and said, “Chief, it’s not just Jenkins Entertainment. Recently, artists from other entertainment companies who have been sidelined or suppressed have also sent us their resumes. If any of them seem promising, should we accept them“:
Phoebe thought momentarily and said, “Go ahead and accept them. Our main goal is to develop the studio, not just to target or retaliate against Jenkins Entertainment. It’s not just about signing new artists, we must hire some skilled agents.”
She asked, “Have any agents who have been sidelined or suppressed recently shown interest in switching to our studio?” Wendy chuckled and said. “Believe it or not, there have been some. We just hadn’t been looking for agents before, so we politely turned them down.” She asked, seeking Phoebe’s opinion, “Should we reach out to them again?”
Phoebe nodded. “Go ahead and contact them. There’s no need to offend any company intentionally. But if anyone tries to push you down, don’t worry–I’ve got your
back.
They hadn’t gone to other companies, ruthlessly poaching or stealing talent. They only accepted those who had given up or voluntarily switched to their studio. They hadn’t broken or violated industry rules; they were developing and competing fairly and typically.
In the following period, Phoebe’s studio accepted several artists who had switched from Jenkins Entertainment, one after another.
that It left many people in the industry stunned. Whispers spread, with people saying. “As expected of Phoebe, she’s just bold.” It was the first time they had seen a reform meant to elevate artists‘ status and resources, but instead, it ended up driving them away–truly impressive.
Ollie and the senior executives at Jenkins Group were ridiculed. After learning about it, they were, as expected, furious. Ollie was distraught, and he had headaches and stomach pains, thinking Phoebe was indeed something else.
He couldn’t believe Phoebe could turn them into something valuable after picking up so many discarded artists. He was waiting to see how she would fail and embarrass herself.
Eventually, he would use this against her. He’d tell Phoebe to focus on being a star and a master and to forget about running
the studio.
