Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 710

Early the next morning, Pearl was roused from her slumber by a phone call. She could hear the sound of the wind, as well as Blake's loud yawn, on the other end of the line. It seemed he and Raymond were a the airport on their way back to Bodgow.

Raymond's voice, sounding somewhat sluggish, came through, "We're leaving. Take care."

Still groggy from being awakened, Pearl replied, "Okay, got it. Go ahead!"

Knowing that they were close friends, there was no need for a pretentious farewell. Pearl would spare herself the charade of going to see them off with a sad expression.

After she woke up once more, Pearl checked her phone and received a photo from Raymond and Blake, indicating that they had safely arrived back in Bodgow. They were gone.

She got out of bed, freshened up, and headed downstairs for breakfast. Following her meal, she set her sights on the next phase of her plan.

With the company crisis resolved and Raymond having managed Cerubleu in her absence, Pearl was now free to explore new opportunities and expand her business portfolio. This diversification would help mitigate risks, and in the event of future challenges, Cerubleu would have the support of its other ventures, making it more resilient.

During the past few days, Raymond had been diligently handling Cerubleu's affairs, filling in the vacant positions within the company, and ensuring its smooth operation. This allowed Pearl to focus on her new venture.

She discussed her plans with Wayne, shifting her attention to live-streaming companies for internet celebrities.

"Will this work, Miss Pearl?" Wayne asked with a hint of uncertainty. While the prospects seemed promising, the execution was not without its challenges.

Acquiring internet celebrities might be relatively straightforward, but attracting those with unique and captivating qualities was no easy task.

"In this field, there are enough opportunities and profits. Unlike traditional entertainment companies, which have strict criteria for selecting celebrities, the internet celebrity landscape is more flexible," Pearl explained as she drew circles on a piece of paper, eventually pointing at the "live streaming" option. "Recruiting internet celebrities is much easier compared to traditional stars."

Wayne, still unfamiliar with this field, remained puzzled. "Should we hold auditions, then?"

Pearl shook her head. "No need for auditions. We'll watch more short videos and reach out to promising internet celebrities. We'll ask if they'd be interested in signing a contract with us."

Wayne wrestled with his doubts. "But our company is new and relatively unknown. It's not a big company either. What if they decline?"

Pearl, with a reassuring smile, responded, "Consider it a challenge. You can handle it."

Wayne was encouraged by her confidence. "Okay, Miss Pearl. I'll handle it."

Wayne left, and Pearl began strategizing the establishment of her new company.

Since the live-streaming venture was part of Cerubleu, there was no need for a physical storefront. Cerubleu owned a large building, and one of its floors could easily be converted into a live-streaming space for the new company.

The immediate concern was recruiting suitable staff.

Pearl posted an announcement online detailing Cerubleu's plans to establish a live-streaming company and inviting interested individuals to apply, with proactive candidates given priority.

Just a week prior, many may have ignored such a notice due to Cerubleu's bad situation. But now, with the support of both the Jordan and York families, Cerubleu's influence was immeasurable. Within an hour of the notice being posted, Cerubleu's hotline was inundated with calls, and people began gathering downstairs, hoping for an interview.

With no other option, Pearl arranged interviews for the applicants on the fourteenth floor and placed Riley in charge.

Later in the afternoon, Pearl received an unexpected call from Riley, who sounded distressed. "Miss Pearl, please come over. Someone insists on meeting you."

Riley, following Wayne's lead, now addressed Pearl as "Miss Pearl," a change that had taken effect after her defense of Pearl in front of the entire company. "Who is it?" Curious, Pearl closed her laptop and stretched her sore neck.
