The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Xiaoyue’s good mood in the morning was gone, and she also missed the chance to see the things the old lady had sent her. She went to work after breakfast.

When they reached the fifteenth floor, Xiaoyue glanced coquettishly into Jiang Pingsheng's office and found that he was not there. She felt relieved and went into her own office.

"Mr. Nie, the company received a lot of your express deliveries today."

"A lot? How many?"

Xiaoyue had some idea of ​​what was going on.

Ma Li pursed her lips and said, "There are more than 200 of them, and it seems to be increasing. What do you think we should do?"

Xiao Yue had a bad feeling, and her voice was a little shaky: "Have you seen what's inside?"

Ma Li had a complicated expression. She had opened many unidentified express deliveries from Xiao Yue before. Most of them were small gifts from fans, and the company would also send some gifts back. But when she opened today's express delivery, she was shocked. They were all wooden swords and the like. There was also a card inside, saying that it was for Yue Shen to pass on to Lou Zhongyue.

"They are all wooden swords and the like. They asked you to hand them over to Lou Zhongyue."

Xiao Yue's expression became extremely bitter. Is it that serious? Since you can't find Lou Zhongyue, you came here to find someone you know, right?

"Return all express deliveries and do not accept any."

Xiaoyue said this weakly, and for some reason Ma Li could see a bit of gnashing of teeth in her voice.

"Okay, Mr. Nie."

Ma Li left in a hurry to arrange this matter.

The more Xiaoyue thought about it, the angrier she got. What was going on? She had to resolutely not give in. If she said she wasn't going to change, then she wouldn't change.

Xiaoyue opened Lou Zhongyue’s Weibo and began to edit the content.

"There will be times when strong winds break through the waves, and you can hang your sails directly across the sea."

With just a short line of poetry, this post instantly became the number one trending search.

"I didn't expect that Lou Zhongyue's writing skills are so good!"

"What does Lou Lao Mo mean? Why don't I understand?"

"This poem means that even if the road ahead is bumpy, we must move forward courageously. Old Devil Lou is unrepentant!"

Book fans are also shocked by Lou Zhongyue’s attitude. They have never seen such a stubborn writer. He doesn’t care about the lives of book fans at all!

If this situation continues, it seems like there's nothing we can do about Lou Lao Mo, so everyone is complaining on the forum.

"I have a bad feeling that Old Devil Lou will never give up. If you don't believe me, we'll just have to wait!"

"I believe that Old Devil Lou is here to test my will. I must hold on this time."

"I've already soaked wolfberries in my thermos. I want to stay healthy. I'll wait and see what new tricks Lou Lao Mo can come up with!"

Jiang Pingsheng also saw the poem posted by Xiaoyue. He sighed. At this moment he understood Xiaoyue's determination.

Xiaoyue really didn't want to stay in the company. The incident of sending razor blades made her feel very uncomfortable. In the afternoon, she ran to the film and television city to watch Jiang Yu filming "Sand Dune".

"Zhang Zehua, long time no see, why are you here?"

Xiaoyue was still a little surprised when she saw Zhang Zehua. After this guy finished filming "Avatar", no one knew what he did.

Zhang Zehua sighed, is his sense of existence so low?

"Boss Nie, I am the deputy director of the Artist Department after all. I am in the company every day. Today I came to see if a few good talents can be signed."

Xiaoyue laughed dryly a few times, feeling a little uneasy. She had neglected the company's affairs and forgot that Zhang Zehua had an actual position and was not just an actor.

"Then come and have a look on the fifteenth floor when you have time. I brought gifts from abroad for you and Ying Er, but I haven't had time to deliver them to you yet."

When Zhang Zehua heard that Xiaoyue brought gifts for him and Xue Ying'er when she went abroad, the resentment in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Nie, for remembering to bring us gifts when you go abroad. I'll pick them up tomorrow."

"Okay. You said you want to sign artists? I remember that both you and Wu Hao were unwilling to manage artists? Why are you so enthusiastic now?" Xiao Yue had argued with the two of them several times because she was unwilling to sign artists. Now she has let it go. It doesn't matter whether she signs one artist or several artists, as long as someone is willing to manage them.

Zhang Zehua suddenly showed a bit of shyness on his face and said: "I am going to retreat to the second line and prepare to marry Ying Er next year. Besides, since I am the deputy director of the Artist Department, I will do my best. Wu Hao is still filming in Gusu City, so I can only worry more about him!"

Xiaoyue didn't expect that Zhang Zehua and Ying Er were progressing so quickly and were about to get married. It was not surprising for Zhang Zehua to make such an arrangement. He followed the approach of Tang Qi, the director of Tianyu's Artist Department, and it was very feasible.

"Love finally gets married, that's great! I'll transfer Wu Hao to another department and return the position of head of the Artist Department to you. Do your best."

Xiaoyue has already thought about giving Wu Hao shares in the company. Then, whether he has a position or not, he is still a shareholder and a big director. His partner Ma Li is also the general manager. It is not a bad treatment for him to have followed her for more than a year.

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Nie."

Zhang Zehua didn't expect that seeing Xiaoyue would bring so many benefits. He sighed in his heart: "Mr. Nie is really a good person. He always thinks of others."

“Who is the artist you want to see?”

Xiaoyue is quite curious about the artist that Zhang Zehua personally wants to sign.

Jiang Yu interrupted and said, "Mr. Nie, you know that person too. One time, the bus broke down and two artists took your bus back to the hotel. He was one of them."

Xiao Yue suddenly remembered and said, "Is his name Qiao Hailong? He seems to be a stuntman, right?"

"Yes, that's him."

Jiang Yu didn't expect Xiao Yue still remembered the stuntman, and continued: "When filming "Avatar 2: The Way of Water", he was a very good stuntman. Later, when I filmed "Avatar 3: The Seed Bearer", I gave him a supporting role and found that he actually had a talent for being an actor and performed very well. This time when I filmed "Dune", I gave him the role of the third male lead. I thought that the good things should not be wasted on outsiders, so I called Minister Zhang to see if he could be signed to our Yuexiang Entertainment."

"Yes, I just arrived too. Is he coming soon?" Zhang Zehua asked Jiang Yu.

Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A tall and thin young man with makeup on walked in. The three of them took a look and realized it was Qiao Hailong!

"Hello, President Nie, Director Jiang, and Minister Zhang!"

Seeing so many leaders present, Qiao Hailong stood there nervously.

"Sit down and talk."

Xiaoyue smiled at him, then pointed to the sofa next to them and motioned for him to sit down.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Nie."

Qiao Hailong then walked over to the sofa and sat down, looking here and there, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Yu was the first to speak: "Don't be nervous. I saw that you act very well, so I called Minister Zhang to see if you can sign a contract with our Yuexiang Entertainment."

When Qiao Hailong heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He didn't expect that Bai Xiaoning was right. Director Jiang asked him to come over because something good might happen.

Xiaoyue said to Zhang Zehua: "Tell them nicely that our company's contracts with artists are very lenient, so don't give them too low a salary."

"Okay, Mr. Nie."

Zhang Zehua agreed quickly and said to Qiao Hailong: "Director Jiang strongly recommended you to me. You and I are not completely unfamiliar with each other. I know that you are very good at martial arts. I have also read some of your information and learned about your acting skills. If you are interested in signing an entertainment company, why not take a look at the contract that Yuexiang Entertainment has given you."

After he said that, he took out a contract from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Qiao Hailong.

Qiao Hailong stood up, took it respectfully with both hands, then sat down to look through it.

Every time Qiao Hailong read a contract clause, he couldn't believe his eyes. He would read it again. This contract is too good, right? The company has no restrictions on him at all. Even the basic salary is much more than what he earns now by working hard. The most important thing is that there is no penalty for early termination of the contract. Will Yuexiang Entertainment not collapse if it signs artists like this? Pah, who would be willing to terminate the contract with such a good entertainment company? Wouldn't that be stupid?

"Minister Zhang, I am willing to sign a contract with Yuexiang Entertainment."

Qiao Hailong looked at Zhang Zehua with an unusually serious expression, and it was obvious that what he said was not a joke.

"Are you not going to continue watching?" Zhang Zehua teased him deliberately.

"I won't continue watching. I've signed with Yue Xiang Entertainment. Can I sign for a few more years?"

Qiao Hailong wishes he could work at Yuexiang Entertainment for the rest of his life.

"Hahaha, you don't have to sign for many years. Just sign for two years. If you don't leave the company later, the contract will continue."

Zhang Zehua didn't expect that his first time signing an artist would be so smooth, thanks to the fact that he had made a lot of preparations.

Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Then welcome to join the Yuexiang Entertainment family." After that, she stood up and extended her hand to Qiao Hailong.

Qiao Hailong quickly stood up, his face full of excitement. He reached out and gently held Xiaoyue's hand, his face flushed.

Zhang Zehua and Jiang Yu also shook hands with him and expressed their welcome for him to join Yuexiang Entertainment.

After seeing off the excited Qiao Hailong, the three of them sat down again.

Talked about the company's development in recent times and future development plans.

Xiaoyue then stood up and said goodbye.

"Jiang Yu, your gift, I'll give it to you when you have time to go to the company."

Jiang Yu smiled and deliberately said, "Can I ask what it is in advance?"

Xiaoyue smiled and said, "It's a handmade mechanical watch, just like Zhang Zehua's."

Zhang Zehua heard this and said, "Mr. Nie, you are not going to wholesale from any store, are you?"

"Hey, how did you know? I bought more than a dozen of the same watches at once, and Wu Hao did the same!"

Xiaoyue really bought them together. This watch is very expensive, almost 200,000 Chinese yuan for one.

Jiang Yu and Zhang Zehua both laughed out loud.

"Only you can do this. This is the standard for us, right?"

"You're right. A watch costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I can't bear to give it to an outsider!"

Xiaoyue said this and walked away proudly.

"Hundreds of thousands for a watch?" Jiang Yu couldn't believe his ears.

Zhang Zehua smacked his lips and said, "You're really willing to spend so much! The watch my Ying Er gave me was only 100,000 yuan."

Jiang Yu looked at the watch worth thousands of dollars on his wrist and was too embarrassed to take it out. He decided that after getting Mr. Nie's watch, he would wear it every day.

"Tell me, should I wear the watch that Mr. Nie gave me or not?"

Zhang Zehua asked Jiang Yu with embarrassment, as he was afraid that Xue Ying'er would throw a tantrum if he didn't wear the watch she gave her.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't show off your affection in front of me." Then he left and went to film.

Zhang Zehua chuckled and went back to the company carrying his briefcase.
