Chapter 377
Wendy looked skeptical, “Do you really think he’ll just go along with it? He seems pretty full of himself.”
Sunny nodded in agreement.
“Don’t worry,” Miranda said confidently. “I’ve already spoken to Kevin. If he doesn’t comply with the live streaming schedule, I’ll make sure word gets around the industry. No one will hire him again.”
Kevin was the assistant they’d been talking about earlier.
He was a key player in the branch office and well aware of Miranda’s influence.
All Miranda had to do was give him a heads–up, and he knew exactly what to do.
Hearing this, Wendy and Sunny both laughed, relieved.
Miranda settled into a chair and looked at the two of them. “So, what brings you here?”
Sunny looked a bit shy, still adjusting to being back in the social scene after a long hiatus. She hesitated but then mustered the courage to speak up. “I asked Wendy to bring me here because I wanted to try live streaming. I heard the branch office here is looking for a lot of hosts, so I thought I’d give it a shot. And…”
She trailed off, hesitating to say more, but Wendy jumped in.
“And you’re here too, Miranda! Sunny wanted to be closer to you,” Wendy said with a cheeky grin.
Miranda glanced at Sunny, mildly surprised.
Sunny looked vibrant and full of life, a stark contrast to the shadow of her former self.
It was as if she had emerged anew, like a butterfly from its cocoon.
Miranda smiled gently. “It seems like you’ve been taking good care of yourself.”
Sunny blushed a bit, “I’ve been taking the medication you recommended and trying to get out more. But after being sick for so long, I feel like I’ve lost the ability to work. I don’t know what I can do, so I thought I’d give live streaming a shot.”
Wendy quickly added, “Sunny used to play the violin. She even won international awards back in elementary school. Even when she was sick, she never stopped playing. So, I thought she could stream her performances, but Mr. Don didn’t agree.”
Miranda pondered this.
While she didn’t meddle much in the company affairs, she was far from clueless about current trends.
Marion kept her updated on the company’s status and market research periodically.
She often provided input and suggestions based on these reports.
She would have preferred to stay hands–off.
But Marion wouldn’t allow it. He insisted on involving her, sometimes even conducting surprise checks.
So, despite not managing the company directly, she was well–versed in market conditions and trends.
The live streaming field, especially for newcomers, was challenging in terms of gaining traction.
But her personal involvement wouldn’t be appropriate.
After all, she held no official position in the company at the moment.
She picked up her phone and dialed Marion.
“It’s me,” she said.
“Miranda! You finally have time to call me? Perfect timing to discuss some overseas investments. The

companies we invested in are doing great. I’m thinking of setting up an office abroad.”
“Stop right there.” Miranda immediately cut him off to prevent a long–winded conversation.
“I just fired the new streaming department manager here.”
“Oh, then he’s fired. Anyway, about this project I’m looking at…”
“Shut up!”
Marion paused.
“Set up a custom live streaming plan for Sunny. Focus on music, talent showcases, mainly violin performances.”
“Sunny? Oh, her. Got it, leave it to me.”
Miranda promptly hung up, wary of getting drawn into another lengthy chat about overseas investments.
“Hello? Hello? Where’d she go?” Marion grumbled, putting down the phone.
Hmph! She only calls when she needs something.
If they hadn’t made an agreement, he might not hear from her for months.
He quickly called his secretary.
“Draft a custom streaming plan for a girl named Sunny in the Virell branch’s streaming department. Have a veteran guide her, and set up collaborations with popular music bloggers for duets and challenges. Focus on her violin talent. By the way, she’s quite pretty, so design a pure and elegant look for her.”
“Yes, Mr. Smith, I’ll get on it right away.”
“And make sure to replace Mr. Don. Find someone with a good reputation and character.”
Miranda wouldn’t fire someone without reason, so Marion didn’t worry about it.
Hiring a new person was simple enough.
But maybe he should assign Miranda an official role.
It would make things easier for her to manage sometimes.
And it would prevent her from completely stepping back.
He smirked and started drafting a job proposal.
Little did Miranda know, she was about to become the CEO of Flying Fish Legion.
“From now on, Wendy, you take care of Sunny. Marion will set everything up soon,” Miranda instructed.
Wendy nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Miranda.”
Sunny still looked a bit nervous. “I’m worried I won’t do well.”
Miranda reassured her, “Just be yourself. Sometimes, what’s genuine is what people love the most. You as you are might be exactly what they want.”
Her words lifted Sunny’s spirits.
She beamed, “I’ll do my best!”
After setting things up, Miranda chatted with Wendy and Sunny about recent happenings.
Since the Hawke family’s downfall, Sunny was living her life anew.
Her identity had been protected, thanks to Miranda’s intervention, ensuring her privacy.
This meant she could now enter the online world without fear.

“I visited them in prison,” Sunny suddenly mentioned.
Miranda wasn’t surprised.
“And how did that go?”
