Rebirth and Conquest

The next day, Chen Yan went to the company with He Yichen to see the new employees who were about to be signed.

After the two arrived at the company, He Yichen first took Chen Yan to his office, and then He Yichen called the person in charge of signing the contract and asked him to come to his office.

While Chen Yan was waiting in He Yichen's office chair, He Yichen handed her a stack of documents. "We've selected some people from various art schools. Here are their files. Take a look."

Chen Yan picked up the stack of documents and began to read them on her desk.

“Right now, our company only has one Ji Yunjiang, and I’m planning to sign two more,” He Yichen said.

Chen Yan nodded and asked, "What about Ji Yunjiang?"

"He's always on set, practicing his acting with Director Fu," He Yichen couldn't help but chuckle. "To be honest, he's truly worthy of being someone Director Fu has his eye on; he's incredibly composed."

“This person is definitely going to be a serious actor in the future. Director Fu has set a specific path for him, so I don’t really care. Director Fu said that he should hone his acting skills first, and in the future he will only appear in big productions or serious dramas.”

"This kind of person may not become a huge star in the future, but they will definitely occupy a place in mainstream dramas. In the future, they will rely on their acting skills and strength to speak for themselves. Actually, it's good to have someone like this. Our company has also become more upscale."

"So this time I'm planning to sign a few more who will take the idol route..."

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, interrupting He Yichen's words.

He Yichen looked towards the door: "Come in."

"Mr. He, you wanted to see me?" A woman in her thirties walked in. She was wearing a neat little suit and looked very capable.

"Well, let me introduce you. This is our company's big boss, Chairman Chen," He Yichen said with a hearty laugh, then looked at Chen Yan, "This is Feng Tong, the person in charge this time. She will be the artist director for those newcomers from now on."

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Director Feng, please don't be so polite. Please take us to see the people we're going to sign."

"it is good"

The three of them left He Yichen's office and arrived at a practice room downstairs. The practice room was surrounded by a glass wall, allowing them to see clearly inside. The room was quite spacious, with only a few tables and chairs. There was also a large mirror on another wall.

At this moment, there were about a dozen young men and women performing some shows in the hall, and several company interviewers were watching.

"Mr. Chen, these are the ten people we've selected. Two of them are quite qualified in all aspects. If you agree, we'll sign them," Feng Tong introduced to Chen Yan, pointing to the people inside.

"Oh, right, there's another person. This person is rather special. He came from Xinghui Company. After we acquired Xinghui Company, I saw that he had quite a bit of potential, so I'm planning to bring him over as well. Let me take you to see him," Feng Tong said.

"Okay," Chen Yan nodded.

Then Feng Tong took Chen Yan to another office. There was a rectangular table in the office, and two people were sitting on each side talking. One side was Chen Yan's company, and the other side was the artist they were going to sign and his former manager. In fact, the contract had already been signed before Chen Yan came. Now they were just talking about the future development path.

After Chen Yan and the others went in, everyone inside stood up: "President He, President Feng."

Since neither of the two people in the company had met Chen Yan before, they skipped over her, and Chen Yan didn't mind. However, when she saw the person she was supposed to sign, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile. This person was none other than Li Yilang, the one whose movie role she had previously snatched.

Li Yilang was also taken aback when he saw Chen Yan, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Yan and the others walked to the table and sat down. The two people from the company handed a stack of signed documents to He Yichen. "Mr. He, this is the five-year contract we signed, and there are some development planning issues as well."

He Yichen didn't look at it, but handed it directly to Chen Yan, who took it and started reading.

"Our plan is to start with the idol route," one of the company staff began. "He has a great appearance, and his schedule starts in three days, already planned for next year. He's also been cast in several TV dramas that the company is investing in, so we'll get him started as soon as possible..."

"You haven't graduated yet?" Chen Yan suddenly interjected, startling everyone present. Li Yilang reluctantly replied, "I'll graduate in another year."

"Then let's wait until graduation."

Li Yilang became a little anxious: "But I can temporarily give up my studies for the sake of my acting career. Besides, I studied acting, and participating in more film and television shoots will improve my acting skills."

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.

He Yichen glanced at Chen Yan, then smiled and said, "Okay, you two go back first. The company will seriously consider your schedule. Since you've signed with our company, we will definitely make the most reasonable arrangements for you."

Li Yilang wanted to say something more, but his agent stopped him, "Alright, Mr. He, we'll head back now. We trust your company will make proper arrangements."

After the agent finished speaking, he pulled Li Yilang away.

As soon as Li Yilang left, He Yichen looked at Chen Yan with great interest, "Boss, you've taken a liking to him?"

"A pretty good prospect."

"Chen Dong, what about us?" Feng Tong asked.

Chen Yan tossed the stack of documents to Feng Tong. "Let him finish his studies first. Even if he's an idol, he can't just have an empty shell. Without substance, how can he have personal charm? Without personal charm, even if he becomes famous, it won't last long. The new generation will always surpass the old. Sooner or later, he'll be overtaken by the newcomers."

"Yes"

"Also, he's too impetuous and eager for quick success. Let him stay in school to temper his arrogance. If he can't be tempered in this school, we'll switch to another one, and the company will cover the tuition."

"Does Chen Dong mean that he will be the focus of training in the future?" Feng Tong asked.

"If you learn well, you'll naturally be nurtured; if you don't, you can just stay inside."

He Yichen couldn't help but chuckle: "Boss, what are you doing? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were his parents."

Chen Yan didn't answer, but only asked Feng Tong, "Who brought him here?"

“It’s still his former agent; we signed both of them together,” Feng Tong said.

"Let's change it. You take care of him for now, and find him a suitable one after he finishes school."

"Yes."

"However, if you don't learn well, you don't need to come out."

“Boss, let me say something,” He Yichen said with a smile. “What’s special about him is his arrogance. If that’s gone, wouldn’t he be just another face in the crowd? Xinghui Company signed him when he was still in school because of his talent. If you wear that down, what’s so special about him?”

Chen Yan curled the corners of her lips. "So, it all depends on your ability to create stars."

As Chen Yan was leaving, she ran into Li Yilang at the company entrance.

Just as Li Yilang was about to get into the car with his agent to leave, he saw Chen Yan and got out of the car again. He walked up to Chen Yan and angrily questioned her, "It's you again! Last time, it was because of you that I lost my chance, and now you're ruining my plans again." He paused, then said with a disdainful look, "What, have you hooked up with the boss here again? I didn't see anything else, but your ability to suck up to powerful figures has really improved."

Seeing Li Yilang's sullen expression, Chen Yan found it somewhat amusing. Was this guy even in the entertainment industry? How could he be so clueless? Chen Yan deliberately put on a smug look and said with a smile, "You're right, I do have a knack for sucking up to powerful people. Why don't you learn from me? Try sucking up to me first, and I'll teach you how."

"Heh, don't drag others into your shamelessness. Just you wait, I'll leave you far behind sooner or later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for that day."

Not long after, Di Wenjin moved the group's headquarters to B City, marking the official entry of Haoran Group into B City.

Next to the group's main building, there are two smaller office buildings. When the land was purchased for construction, the land was quite large, so two smaller buildings were built. However, the company does not plan to use them, so they are rented out to various small companies on different floors.

At this time, this newly arrived group has not yet attracted much attention in B City. However, in the near future, it will stir up a bloody storm in the business world of B City. Of course, that's a story for later.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Chen Yan went to visit Chen Lirong. Since his last visit, Chen Lirong had called Chen Yan several times, asking him to come over, but Chen Yan hadn't gone. Now that the Spring Festival was approaching, he should at least go.

A few months ago, during the summer vacation, Yan Haobo graduated from university and went straight into the Yan Group. Chen Yan thought that his mother must not be in a good mood now that she was working in the same company as Yan Haobo.

However, to Chen Yan's surprise, his mother seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Chen Yan asked Assistant Tang, who just smiled and said, "Since the second young master came to the company, he has indeed been going against President Chen, but his tricks are not worth President Chen's trouble."

When Assistant Tang said this, there was a hint of disdain on his face. Indeed, Yan Haobo had a chairman's father, which gave him a natural advantage. But if you take that out of the picture, he was just a recent college graduate. Although it can't be said that he had no ability at all, compared to Chen Lirong, who had been working in the business world for many years, he was just a greenhorn. How could Chen Lirong not have some skills to climb to her current position?

Chen Lirong used to be subservient to Yan Haobo because her position was not yet secure. But now, Chen Lirong's position in Yan's Group is completely different. Although she is still as polite to Yan Haobo as ever, she will not tolerate him doing anything to harm her. In the company, Chen Lirong will not openly oppose Yan Haobo, but she can quietly give him a lot of cold shoulders.
