Apart from Gu Bai, everyone else present was of lower status.

Long Dan Ni, Duan Weiyuan, and those advertising representatives were all high-ranking executives in their respective companies. Although they showed great respect in front of Gu Bai, they didn't have such a good attitude towards the stars.

Even though these celebrities were all top-notch in the entertainment industry, their status was still far from those in the capital circle.

However, Gu Bai was not arrogant and instead smiled at them kindly.

In an instant, several celebrities felt a rush of being flattered.

Not interested in what they were thinking in their hearts, Gu Bai first asked Xue Ziqian, "I heard you're helping Mao Buyi with an album lately?"

Given Gu Bai's status, such a small matter as an artist under his banner releasing an album wouldn't concern him, but he was quite attentive to Mao Buyi, and when he inadvertently heard the news, he noted it in his heart.

Faced with Gu Bai's inquiry, Xue Ziqian hurriedly replied, "It's Mao Buyi's first album, so he's a bit inexperienced, and I'm just casually helping. This album is all his own doing."

Gu Bai nodded. He wasn't very interested in Mao Buyi's album; bringing it up was just a way to start a conversation.

Since the topic was opened, Gu Bai continued, "You've been with Sea Butterfly for a while, right? Are you interested in joining our Black Swan?

You know our Black Swan Artist Agency is still empty, and we're in need of some well-known stars to hold the fort. Since you're Mao Buyi's debut mentor, it would be easier for you two to collaborate at the same company."

Not only Xue Ziqian, but even Long Dan Ni and the others around couldn't help but be stunned by these words.

Isn't it a bit too much to poach someone so publicly?

Regardless of whether Xue Ziqian wants to join Black Swan, even if he does, he couldn't possibly agree with Gu Bai in this setting.

Moreover, Haidie Music is not a regular small company. With 700,000 commercially valuable music copyrights and nearly ten million online music rights, just last year, it surrendered 15% of its shares, raising 500 million, and its current market value could have surpassed 6 billion, making it a genuine music giant.

However, thinking of Gu Bai's series of methods since Black Swan Capital was formally established, it suddenly made sense.

Black Swan Group has developed thus far, supported entirely by two strategies.

Spending money.

Acquisition.

With such aggressive development methods, is it not normal to poach a celebrity publicly?

Even if President Xu of Haidie Music were present, he probably wouldn't dare to explode. Also, just a few days ago, Black Swan Group officially announced acquiring the already-listed Hongye Building Materials Company for 6 billion, formally entering the physical industry, causing a series of commotions, so poaching just Xue Ziqian seems very minor in comparison.

Xue Ziqian hesitated for a long time and didn't give an answer.

Sea Butterfly is his benefactor, and if he so straightforwardly agreed to Gu Bai, his reputation in the entertainment circle would be tarnished. In the future, except for Black Swan Group, probably no company would dare to cooperate with him.

But to publicly refuse Gu Bai, he didn't dare either. Who knows if it would offend him?

Just when Xue Ziqian was in a dilemma, Gu Bai continued, "Alright, I'm just mentioning it casually, don't take it to heart. However, if you really have the interest to develop with us at Black Swan, you can contact me then. I believe President Xu would also give me face."

If it weren't for setting a goal for the group's focus this year on the physical industry, Gu Bai might have directly packaged and acquired Haidie Music.

Hearing Gu Bai's words, Xue Ziqian also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Gu Bai, "Thank you, Chairman Gu, for the goodwill. If there's a chance in the future, I would certainly choose to cooperate with you first."

Gu Bai lowered his eyes and nodded nonchalantly.

Xu Beibei stood aside, watching those dazzling stars on stage behave so humbly in front of her brother, feeling as if a belief inside her had collapsed.

At her age, how many girls don't yearn for a brilliant star path that millions adore?

Yet today gave her a live lesson.

Gu Bai looked down at Xu Beibei and roughly guessed her thoughts, softly saying in her ear, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, this kind of scene will never happen to you."

After speaking, Gu Bai took Xu Beibei's hand and introduced her to the gathered celebrities, "This is my sister, Xu Beibei."

Xue Ziqian, Zhang Jie, and others looked at the well-behaved Xu Beibei and could already guess what Gu Bai was about to say.

"My sister has had a dream of being a star since she was little, and she's currently a student at Sichuan Music College. But I think learning at school is not as good as letting her experience how challenging it is to become a star idol early on, so I'm planning to have her participate in Creation Camp 111. You're all mentors, and in the upcoming program, I hope you can look after her a bit.

Beibei is still young, and she's been pampered as a princess by our family all her life. There are some things she doesn't quite understand, so I hope you can teach her."

Upon hearing Gu Bai's words, the celebrities exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond.

Everyone knew that being Gu Bai's sister meant having a status akin to royalty. Despite Gu Bai's polite words, the implied meaning was clear: She's my sister, so I hope you can see that.
