This is clearly them coming over to sort things out, and they’re still blabbering about this and that.
“You’re not taking sides, are you?” the woman said angrily, “Look at my phone, it’s smashed to pieces, and she’s not responsible at all?”
Xu Qingyan took the girl’s phone to examine it, the screen was like a spider web without a phone case.
It started spreading from the bottom corner, looking quite irksome.
“Did your phone just get smashed?”
“Of course!” the girl leaned over for a look, her tone suddenly became more aggressive, “How could it be fake?
It’s damaged because she bumped into it.”
“Pay up!”
“You’re talking nonsense!
It wasn’t me who bumped into you, it was you who insisted on bumping into me!” Jiang Yunyao knew they were trying to extort money, and she was even more outraged.
Xu Qingyan had seen too much of this sort of thing and was completely unfazed.
...
“Let’s see, you want compensation for the phone and the other is for medical expenses,” Xu Qingyan said emotionlessly, “I’ll borrow some money, okay.”
“How much do you want?”
The woman frowned, “How can people of your status have no money?
Are you lying to us?”
“Don’t give it to her, call the police!” Jiang Yunyao said.
“I already did,” Xu Qingyan finished speaking, and the other two women were instantly stunned.
“What?”
“I said I’ve already called the police, I did so before coming over,” Xu Qingyan stared at them, “Initially I thought you had some sophisticated scam, but you’re just bullying women.”
“I was going to make a call and have the company’s people come down and hold you guys for a beating.
But now, it doesn’t hurt to tell you two directly.”
“Try it, I’ve already sent the message, just wait a few more minutes.”
Just then, the sound of police sirens approached from afar, and the faces of the two women changed instantly.
You look at me, I look at you, and in the end, they left angrily muttering a sentence.
“We’ll come back for you, after all, your company is nearby!”
Once the two women left, Jiang Yunyao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
After recuperating, she quickly began to thank Xu Qingyan, bowing repeatedly.
“There’s no need for that, aren’t we friends?” he said, waving his hand.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunyao stalled for a moment.
Friends?
Such a distant term, almost nonexistent after starting to work.
Friends mean mutual trust, but often betrayal is more common.
Moreover, Jiang Yunyao realized during the Spring Festival gala.
The gap between her and Xu Qingyan was too wide, no longer the same as before, he looked down on her.
In the café.
Two cups of hot coffee were placed on the table, Xu Qingyan took a sip from his cup, wanting to ask something, but didn’t know where to start, and simply waited quietly for Jiang Yunyao to speak.

“This time it was an accident,” Jiang Yunyao said with a wry smile, “I was just passing by, on my way to audition for the crew, when they suddenly started pestering me.”
“Don’t you know them?”
“Of course I don’t, you don’t think I owe money, do you?” Jiang Yunyao looked visibly annoyed, and quickly deflated again, sighing.
“I quit my job two months ago, planning to go out and find work on my own.
But without much resources, after hitting a few walls, I came to Xinghai to try my luck.”
Xu Qingyan oh’ed in response, not questioning Jiang Yunyao’s words.
Those people were indeed outrageous, they must have observed Jiang Yunyao before making their move.
“Still doing makeup?”
“Yes, still,” Jiang Yunyao realized that the man in front of her had already starred in four situational comedies, his definition of resources was on a different level.
But Jiang Yunyao didn’t want to leverage Xu Qingyan’s help, there was even a deliberate intention to avoid it.
“I have a company, you might not have heard of it, it’s…” Xu Qingyan started, but was abruptly interrupted by Jiang Yunyao, who said earnestly.
“I know you have a company, but I really didn’t know you were nearby.
If you’re thinking of giving me a backdoor entry, you really don’t have to, it’s too much trouble.”
“Besides, I might not have the face to stay later, I’ll just leave.”
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan was taken aback.
“What I mean is, my company needs to recruit a group of people, to work at the company.
Free to join the crew when needed, but we lack a makeup department.”
“If you’re interested, you can join us, we need the help.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yunyao felt a little awkward, and the words she had just said came back to hit her in the face.
“Oh, I see, I thought you felt sorry for me.”
“`
“`
“Not at all, we’re just short on people,” Xu Qingyan said.
“Alright, I’m in.”
…..
Meanwhile, inside the company, several actors were gathered in a waiting area.
“Have they arrived?”
“I don’t know, I heard they’re about to come.
That stick-figure is also an investor.
They have a lot of say, don’t offend them easily, we better just keep waiting.”
“Who is Tang Jie?” Zhou Mian entered, looking around, and the gaze of everyone in the vicinity instantly deflated.
Now that Zhou Mian was wearing a suit, he looked much more spirited.
But when it came to carrying out Xu Qingyan’s tasks, he didn’t dare slack off for a moment.
“Who is Tang Jie?” he repeated loudly.
Someone in the crowd shouted, “He went to the restroom, just now!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mian nearly stepped past him.
That was the rule; if the person called wasn’t there, it was assumed they were skipped, straight to the next one.
Nowadays, there were too many actors.
Even with criteria outlined by someone like Xu Qingyan, a single role could attract seven or eight actors to compete.
After the selection, only three or four people remained for one acting role.
In other words, if that person hadn’t spoken up, the one in the restroom might have been directly eliminated.
It would have been good for him, but he didn’t do it.
“What’s your name?” Zhou Mian asked.
“Chen Bo.” The man looked to be around thirty.
As his words fell, the entire waiting hall burst into laughter.
That name was just too funny, was it really his name, what were his parents thinking!
Faced with the laughter of the crowd, Chen Bo felt a bit embarrassed and said with a silly smile,
“When I was little, the name didn’t have so many connotations.”
His words once again triggered a round of laughter from everyone.
Zhou Mian, however, did not laugh; he looked Chen Bo up and down and then said to him,
“You, come with me right away.”
“Oh, okay.” Chen Bo hurried to follow.
He had just spoken up for the guy in the restroom out of kindness.
But when the opportunity fell on him, he wouldn’t be modest.
The entertainment industry was too cruel.
If you keep yielding, your wife and kids will suffer too much!
Right after Chen Bo left, the door was pushed open, and the guy who had just returned from the restroom entered.
First, he quickly returned to his spot, and then he asked someone for information.
“Bro, did they call my name just now?”
The person beside him glanced at him, not very enthusiastic, but not too unpleasant either, and drawled,
“You were in the restroom when they called you, some guy said you went to the restroom.”
“Thanks to that guy, and then?” he asked.
“Then they took that guy in, not sure if you have a chance left.” The person laughed and shook his head, “You’d better check again.”
Hearing this, Tang Jie’s face immediately turned pale.
“What’s there to ask, definitely no chance now!”
Walking through the corridor, Chen Bo followed behind Zhou Mian, having done his research.
He knew that Zhou Mian was the General Manager of Sky Light Film and Television and also the right-hand man of the hidden boss.
“Manager Zhou, hello.”
Zhou Mian walked ahead, responding indifferently,
“Hello, Mr.
Chen, I’m the assistant to our boss and also the General Manager of this company.
Since you know my last name is Zhou, I’ll spare the formalities.”
“This time it’s our boss who will conduct the interview personally, Mr.
Chen doesn’t need to be too nervous.”
“Oh, oh, good.” Chen Bo became excited immediately.
After such a long wait, it seemed like the opportunity had finally arrived.
There had never been much progress before, but he had been waiting for today when he might face Xu Qingyan.
At least he would have a chance, as long as he put forth his best effort.
Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, surely I can make it through!
