Chapter 15
Under everyone’s suspicious gazes, Tina forced a bitter smile. After all, Miranda had just been “come after.”
The colleagues pressed her for details, asking, “What just happened? Did Ms. Shaw hit Miranda?”
Tina paused for a moment, then nodded. “We were in the restroom talking trash about her, and she a
overheard us.
“Oh my!” Everyone gasped, their eyes widening in shock. “She found out? That’s why Miranda looks like that?”
Tina nodded again and added quietly, “Well, Miranda started the fight, and Daphne was just defending herself.”
“Wow, who o would’ve thought? Ms. Shaw really packs a punch, someone exclaimed.
Another chimed in. “Remember that time Miranda got into it with Yulia from Team A? She yanked a chunk of Yulia’s hair கபா and scratched her face. Miranda only got a few scratches herself
Miranda was known for being tough. But now, she got taken down by someone who seemed so delicate–what a total embarrassment.
Tina fell a mix of feelings looking at her colleagues. She noticed some admiration for Daphne in their eyes. “Don’t try to mess with this, Ms. Shaw. She’s not as simple as she looks

After giving that warning, she didn’t say more and turned towards the break room. Even though she was timid, she was smart enough to see truth. If Daphine was just a pretty face, would she really dare to act like that?
Daphne was confident–not just because of her connections, but because of a natural pride that made her stand out A trophy beauty could never have that kind of self–assurance.
Soon, by Daphne’s first day as the new vice CEO, word about her had spread like wildfire through the company. Everyone knew she wasn’t s to mess with
As for Daphne, she ignored the gossip and dove straight into her work the moment she stepped into the vice CEO role.

Manhew had always been strict about discipline, believing that irresponsible heirs shouldn’t run the company. That was why he sometimes had to bring in outsiders to manage parts of the family business–and Galaxy Entertainment was one of them
As times changed rapidly, some were open to innovation. But taking risks often came with unpredictable consequences. The board at Galaxy was packed with old–timers who preferred steady profits over big gambles,
The previous CEO had tried to shake things up at Galaxy but was pushed out by a united board. The current one learned from that and didn’t dare to challenge the old–timers; instead, he followed their lead.
Even as the CEO, he was simply a well–paid employee of the board, which could dismiss him at any time without a second thought
Daphne frowned at the large stack of contracts and documents on her desk. As she flipped through a few, she quickly spotted trouble signs. Galaxy hadnt brought in fresh talent or produced any standout stars. Its TV dramas were slammed for being low–quality, and even the once- popular reality shows were getting roasted online for recycling old ideas, with ratings hitting rock bottom.
It was testing the patience of its audience. If things kept going this way, in less than five years, this one–leading company would be pushed out of the market, becoming a laughingstock.
Daphne tossed the contracts aside and noticed her new secretary, Zoe Zamora, grabbing a box of documents from the corner of the office and heading out.

Dzapline raised her chun a little and waved her hand. “Don’t throw them away—let me take a look first “
Zaw looked surprised. But these projects have already been rejected by the board. There’s really no point in reviewing them”
Daphor rested her chin on her hand, her big, bright eyes sparkling “What Can I at least take a peek!”

Zor quickly shook her head. “No, no, that’s not what I meant. These aren’t confidential or anything. Of course, you can have a check if you want; it’s just that they’ve already been turned down”
Since the projects were completely rejected by the board, it seemed pointless to review them.
Daphne gave a slight smile, her eyes narrowing playfully. “Il judge if it’s necessary after I see them,” she said, her tone soft but carrying the kind of authority Chester always had
“Alright, Ms. Shaw. Zoe felt compelled to comply and quickly handed over the documents.
“Thanks. And please close the door on your way out. Daphne lowered her head focusing intently on the contracts, her interest piqued enough that she had no intention of making small talk.
Even as Zoe walked out, she still felt slightly dazed. Glancing back at Daphne, she murmured to herself, “She isn’t how they described her at all”
She thought, “Isn’t everyone saying Ms. Show is just a figurehead–someone who got her position through connections? Why doesn’t she seem that way?
‘Her presence feels stranger than Zachary’s, and she could definitely hold her own against Chester Could a woman with that kind of confidence and presence really just be a decorative figure?
Zoe shook her head–she didn’t think Daphne was that kind of woman. If Daphne was acting, she was so convincing it was impossible to question
Within just half a day, the company buzzed with countless discussions and speculations about who Daphine really was.
In that same short time, Daphne managed to review all the projects that the former CEO, Henry Lewis, deemed worthwhile. The more she examined them, the more impressed she became.
Henry’s approach to innovation was more than just talk; these documents showed he was seriously invested in researching market trends. Most of his selected projects perfectly captured the aesthetics of the new era, aligning with what was currently popular,
From recruiting fresh talent to investing in films and producing variety shows, he had a comprehensive plan to transform almost every aspect of the company. Many of the projects were still in the concept plase but already showed significant potential to become major hits.
Daphne’s eyes lit up. Projects with fresh ideas and artists who have unique styles–isn’t that exactly what Galaxy needs right now?”
