Chapter 561 - 293: Tiao Yin’s Top Beauty
Tian Xiwei and her friend stepped out of the elevator. They turned right, and after a moment of searching, they found the offices of Second-Life Star.
They walked in, feeling a little self-conscious.
The Second-Life Star employees saw them too, and their eyes were immediately drawn to Tian Xiwei.
After all, they had all watched their boss’s livestream the previous night and knew she was Miss Xin Cheng, the young woman he had his eye on.
It was Tian Xiwei’s first time here, and she was still a little nervous. Just as she was about to ask someone for directions, an employee approached her courteously. "Miss Tian, are you here to sign your contract? I’ll take you to Sister Hong!"
Tian Xiwei knew who Sister Hong was—the general manager of Second-Life Star. She was in charge of most of the company’s affairs.
Soon, they were led into an office where they met Sister Hong.
The employee reported respectfully, "Sister Hong, Miss Tian is here."
Sister Hong had already seen them and smiled. "Miss Tian, please, have a seat. I’ve already prepared the contract for you."
"Sister Hong," Tian Xiwei said respectfully after sitting down.
Xiaohu and the other two girls did the same, their faces full of respect. After all, to recent graduates like them with no accomplishments to their names, someone like Sister Hong was an absolute VIP.
Sister Hong then looked at the other three young women and asked with a smile, "Miss Tian, are these your friends?"
Tian Xiwei looked a little sheepish. "Sister Hong, they’re my classmates. They came along today to see if there might be any opportunities for them."
Sister Hong understood immediately. This was a common occurrence in their industry.
Although the three young women didn’t quite have the same stunning looks and charisma as Tian Xiwei, whom the boss clearly favored, they were still top-tier. Getting into Second-Life Star wouldn’t be a problem for them.
Their future development, however, would be up to them.
With this in mind, she smiled warmly and said, "Miss Tian, you can all give me your IDs and application forms first. I’ll get the onboarding process started for you."
Tian Xiwei and her friends nodded, immediately taking out their prepared application materials and IDs and handing them to Sister Hong.
As Sister Hong reviewed their documents, a flash of surprise crossed her face.
’These young women were all graduates of a prestigious drama academy. No wonder their appearances are all so outstanding.’
After all, you wouldn’t even dare apply to such a prestigious academy without the right looks to begin with.
’This is a pleasant surprise.’
’In any case, the boss wants to establish a film and television department, and that department needs people. Previously, the only ones at Second-Life Star truly suited for it were Lin Leqing, Li Muchen, and Zhang Ao’ai.’
’The others, even the few influencers recruited later to be groomed for our story-based channels, didn’t have strong enough acting skills.’
’A film and television department is completely different from short-form video; it requires real acting talent.’
’Now, with Tian Xiwei and her friends graduating from a drama academy’s acting program, they’re certainly a cut above any influencer.’
A few moments later, Sister Hong printed out four contracts and handed one to each of the four young women. They were standard artist contracts for the entertainment industry.
Tian Xiwei took the contract. Seeing that it was genuinely a film and television artist contract, she breathed a sigh of relief.
’So he does keep his word.’
They spent some time reading through the contracts. After confirming there were no issues, Tian Xiwei and her friends all signed their names.
After collecting the company’s copies of the contracts, Sister Hong smiled and said, "Miss Tian, the film and television department has only just been established, so there are still a few things to sort out. For now, you all can focus on getting settled here in Coastal City."
"And Miss Tian, you are truly lucky. The boss is even planning to acquire LeTV’s film and television division for you. But you must keep this confidential for the time being."
’Although she knew the boss couldn’t possibly be acquiring LeTV just for the young woman in front of her, he had singled her out during the livestream. It would be strange if he didn’t have some special interest in her.’
’So, as an employee, she had to be smart and know how to frame things in the boss’s favor.’
"LeTV!" Hearing Sister Hong’s words, Tian Xiwei’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately thought of that video from Ah Liang.
’Acquiring LeTV is a huge move, isn’t it?’
’Could it really be true...?’
Xiaohu and the other two girls instinctively looked at Tian Xiwei, their gazes seeming to say, ’So it’s really happening, isn’t it?’
At the same time, their faces were filled with envy.
’If Chen Jincheng would acquire LeTV for Weili, the resources he’d give her in the future would surely be immense.’
’They knew from their time in school that to make it big in the entertainment industry, you needed resources. Otherwise, you’d just be scrambling for the slimmest of chances after graduation.’
’That was why some of their classmates were already filming TV shows and movies while still in school. Meanwhile, they had graduated a while ago and still hadn’t been signed, or the companies that did show interest were ones they, even as newcomers, knew were traps...’
’Is Chen Jincheng really going to back Weili this heavily?’
「Just then.」
Sister Hong’s phone rang. It was her boss. She answered immediately and heard his instruction: "Sister Hong, book me a flight to Beijing."
"Boss, for when?" Sister Hong asked.
Chen Jincheng replied, "Today or tomorrow, either is fine. I need to go to Beijing to discuss something with President Lei."
Sister Hong had a good idea of why her boss was going to see President Lei. The acquisition of LeTV Film and Television would require a huge amount of capital, so this had to be about that.
So, she glanced at Tian Xiwei as she asked, "Boss, Miss Tian has just signed with the company. Since you’re going to discuss business with President Lei, should you take her with you?"
Tian Xiwei, standing nearby, was taken aback by the question.
’President Lei must be that bigwig, right?’
’Why would Chen Jincheng take me with him to meet someone like that?’
’Sister Hong’s words were clearly implying something.’
The idea of a "business trip," and everything that implied, flashed through Tian Xiwei’s mind.
She wasn’t some naive, sheltered girl; she had seen plenty of scandalous stories online.
’Even though Chen Jincheng created a film and television department just to support me and was even planning to acquire LeTV for my sake, isn’t this happening a little too fast?!’
