So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

Holland is 31 years old this year and can already be considered successful in his career.

So Xie Junfei couldn't figure out why Huo Lan insisted on keeping him around.

After all, she was very self-aware of her face and body proportions, and strictly speaking, she was not a "talented horse," so Holland didn't need to be so enthusiastic in playing the role of "talent scout."

As if noticing Xie Junfei's puzzled look, Holland gently smiled at her:

"Little Junfei, don't ask me why I brought you out. Just follow me and observe with your eyes."

Hearing her say that, Xie Junfei felt embarrassed to ask any more questions and could only sit back down.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Beijing branch of "Venus".

As soon as you enter, a strong scent of perfume hits you.

The lounge area was filled with tall, handsome men and women, and Xie Junfei found it very pleasing to the eye.

Holland explained with a smile:

"These are recent graduates from the Beijing Film Academy, and they are currently waiting for their first interview for the role of 'Venus'."

"This year's graduates are all of very good quality. I personally interviewed some of them yesterday, and I was very satisfied."

"Many of them are young, have great acting skills, and are very likable."

Xie Junfei nodded and followed behind her, listening attentively.

Seeing how attentively she was listening, Holland began to teach her how to select actors.

Although she didn't plan to enter the entertainment industry in the future, since this industry bigwig was willing to teach her, she might as well learn from him.

Five minutes later, Holland led her to a room specifically for interviews.

Eight interviewers were sitting in the room.

Looking over, Xie Junfei saw that they were mostly well-known assistant directors and producers in the industry, as well as "Venus's" own agent.

Holland hung a small gold tag around her neck that read "Assistant to the Director".

The next second, before anyone noticed Holland's arrival, Xie Junfei was pushed inside without warning.

Everyone's eyes turned to the door. Xie Junfei felt a momentary panic, but she quickly adopted the expression she wore when dealing with clients at the Qin family's house, her smile exuding a professional air.

"Hello, I am the new assistant to the Director of Public Relations."

"Since the director couldn't be there in person, I came instead."

The agent didn't ask any questions in detail and just waved her in.

And so Xie Junfei took Huo Lan's place and sat in the ninth chair.

What followed was a five-hour interview.

Because this round of auditions is for actors, all the auditionees are top students from the acting departments of various film academies.

In accordance with Venus's tradition of "the capable advance" and never "nepotism," interviewers are generally considered to be impartial and incorruptible.

But Xie Junfei soon noticed something was wrong.

Of these eight interviewers, at least half are blatant liars with twisted motives.

And these biased interviewers all come from Venus's "film department".

Some promising new actors were criticized mercilessly by these interviewers and ultimately left the stage in disappointment.

However, some actors have terrible attitudes and their breathing is a mess, yet they are praised to the skies by these blatantly lying interviewers. Not only are they successfully hired, but they are even given an "A" or "S" rating.

You should know that A-level and S-level actors can get very good variety show and film and television resources as soon as they join the company!

If these incompetent people are allowed to be promoted to the top by the company, the entertainment industry will be doomed sooner or later!

Seeing this farcical scene, Xie Junfei silently jotted down notes in her notebook about the biased interviewers and those who got in through connections.

During the intermission, Xie Junfei went outside for some fresh air and immediately spotted the assistant director on the balcony, looking furious and venting his anger by smoking.

He looks very young, but he is already the last disciple of the famous director Wenren Yue, and he is known for his outspokenness.

Seeing him angrily smoking, Xie Junfei guessed he must be furious.

Thinking back to how fairly he graded people in the interview room, Xie Junfei felt a pang of pity and simply went over and patted him on the shoulder:

"hello."

The young man was startled, but when he turned around, he saw a stranger:

"Holy crap, are you a ghost? How come you walk without making a sound!"

With the break time almost over, Xie Junfei simply got straight to the point:

"I'm new here to invest. I just saw those interviewers acting like they'd lost their minds, treating idiots like treasures, so I came out to find like-minded people."

"Don't worry, I'm just a coal mine owner dabbling in the entertainment industry, unlike those infighting interviewers."

After saying that, Xie Junfei opened her phone and handed over the business card she had made at the Qin family's house.

The assistant glanced at the company name, which had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and immediately felt relieved.

He let out a long sigh of relief and immediately started swearing into his microphone:

"Fuck them, these guys are idiots!"

For the next fifteen minutes, the young assistant director used every swear word he had ever learned to insult the group of crooked-backed interviewers from top to bottom.

Xie Junfei was also a master of swearing, and by adding fuel to the fire, he quickly and thoroughly understood the whole story.

In the past two years, the selection of artists for "Venus" has been relatively normal.

Thanks to Holland's impartiality, the artists selected, though lacking powerful connections, were all highly skilled.

Therefore, the Best Newcomer and Best Actor/Actress awards for those two years were all won by "Venus".

But everything changed when the film and television department of "Venus" got a new vice president.

Big directors and executives started putting people into the artists' teams.

These people with connections have seized most of the company's high-quality film and television resources.

The most famous incident was that someone from the "Venus" family got the role of Lin Daiyu in the new version of the Four Great Classical Novels. Not only did he not read the classics at all, but his acting skills and appearance were also subpar.

The film and television series made "Venus" lose all her reputation as soon as they were broadcast.
