Chapter 654: One Company (2)
Kang Ji-Yung glared at Kim Jang-Bi and said the words she had been holding back since the merger.
"From now on, all work by the former Gwanwoo Entertainment talent agents must be reported to me. If you do that, I'll forgive Chief Yoon's rudeness."
Although Hoop and Gwanwoo Entertainment had merged into one company, the reporting system from Gwanwoo's side remained separate. The Gwanwoo talent agents only reported to Kim Jang-Bi, and Kim Jang-Bi bypassed Kang Ji-Yung entirely, reporting only to Vice President Kim Gwan-Woo.
In other words, it was like two companies existed within one. However, Kang Ji-Yung had decided she would no longer tolerate that and would manage things herself. It was a rightful move as a director, but for the talent agents from Gwanwoo, it was like a bolt from the blue. They now faced severe restrictions on the autonomy they had enjoyed.
Caught off guard, Kim Jang-Bi hesitated before he began to speak. "Ms. Kang... that's not something I can decide on my own."
Kang Ji-Yung scoffed. "Then who decides?"
"Th-that's..."
As Kim Jang-Bi stammered, Kang Ji-Yung began pressing hard. "If the companies have merged, then the work needs to follow the official chain of command. Did I seem like a pushover just because I kept quiet? I only stayed silent to give you time to adjust. Understand?"
"S-still, doing this all of a sudden seems too much. I need to discuss it with my hyung-nim too..."
"Oh, give it a rest! I'm giving you a legitimate directive. Why are you still talking nonsense? If you don't like it, then quit. I'll convene the disciplinary committee immediately!"
Kang Ji-Yung raised the threat of an immediate disciplinary review for Yoon Dong-Gu.
Kim Jang-Bi frowned and looked around. However, even the other Gwanwoo talent agents showed faces of resignation. This was not only because Kang Ji-Yung's request was within her rights, but Yoon Dong-Gu had made a serious mistake that now had to be cleaned up.
