Chapter 189
Eldridge TV was the gold standard for all national television stations.
In fact, it was also a publicly traded company owned by Eldridge Entertainment. From what people say, Eldridge Entertainment belonged to the Sartori family.
Of course, Chloe didn't know too much about these business intricacies.
Chloe said, "Tony, I've already participated in a lot of exchanges with other stations. Let's give this opportunity to someone else this time."
Indeed, over the past year, she had visited no less than thirty major television stations for learning exchanges.
They were pretty dull events, just meetings and then socializing with the financial backers behind the scenes. Sometimes, Chloe even felt like these exchanges were like being a social escort. Occasionally, she would even get harassed by some of the financiers. Chloe really didn't like these social obligations.
Tony's face stiffened. "This time, it's different. Just go."
Actually, it was Eldridge TV that specifically requested Chloe's presence. He had wanted to do Chloe a favor, but she wasn't interested in taking it. Chloe still refused.
Tony had no choice but to be honest. "Look, Chloe, someone important from Eldridge TV asked to see you specifically. It'll be difficult for me if you don't go. Just go, and I'll give you an extra five days of annual leave."
Chloe paused for half a second. "Make it ten."
"Alright, alright," Tony sighed. He had wanted to do her a favor, but instead, she had bargained with him. Tony felt frustrated.
When Chloe asked who exactly wanted to see her, Tony confessed, "I honestly don't know. The bosses didn't say. It's someone from Eldridge Entertainment, apparently a very high-ranking official, but I don't know who it is."
Chloe frowned. She had no connection whatsoever with Eldridge Entertainment and didn't know any of their executives. Why would someone request to see her by name? Her intuition told her it might have something to do with the Sartori family.
Was it because of Connor?
Regardless, she would face
whatever came her way. Chloe wasn't too worried. However, she didn't tell Connor about her trip to Eldridge City. After she left CNR Tower Connor had already rushed
n
back to Eldridge City. This learning exchange trip would last three days. The third day was mostly free for her own activities. Maybe she could even arrange to meet him.
The next day, Chloe and Tony took a nine o'clock flight. Two hours later, Chloe was standing at the entrance of the Eldridge Hotel. After dropping off their luggage, she and Tony had a buffet at the hotel. Then, they headed to the Eldridge City TV station.
To their surprise, they were greeted
by the head of Eldridge TV himself. Tony was flattered. It was
well-known that the head of Eldridge TV didn't usually pay much attention to the heads of other stations. The head of Riverbrook TV Station often complained that he was too arrogant.
Chloe found the head of Eldridge TV too enthusiastic. He personally took them on a tour. He smiled warmly at Chloe.
After touring for about an hour, they participated in a production meeting at the station. Eldridge TV had recently produced several live variety shows that had been huge hits Chloe and Tony's main reason for visiting was to learn from this success. The meeting lasted until four in the afternoon.
After it ended, the head of the station approached Chloe. "Ms. Chloe, please wait here for a moment. Our chairperson is on her way. She wants to meet you."
Chloe was surprised. "The chairperson?"
Tony interjected, "The chairperson of Eldridge Entertainment? I thought she was always abroad."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"She just returned to the country recently. Although the chairperson has been abroad, she has always been aware of Ms. Chloe."
