Chapter 230 \nCen Xi looked at the person who almost ran into him. He was puzzled at first, and only after a moment did he recognize the person in front of him, he was the one called He Zihuan. Last year, he was hidden by the company, and he hadnât seen him for several months afterwards. Now that the company had changed directors, he appeared again. Thinking of such possibilities, Cen Xi became even more angry in his heart.\nâIt turns out to be you, the fake righteous fellow. Are you finally willing to succumb? Zhao Shao had also given you a chance at first, but youâre only rushing over so eagerly now. Is it because the current chairman of Yazhi suits your taste more than Zhao Shao?â
Cen Xi was upset at heart, and he didnât want to see others feel better. He Zihuan was the one he was most jealous of in the company. He was much more highly educated than him. If he hadnât climbed up the big tree of Zhao Shao first, the company would have actually packaged He Zihuan and let him be praised first. After Cen Xi got mixed up in it, the company decided to give up on promoting He Zihuan. So, He Zihuanâs opportunity was actually robbed by him.
He Zihuan glanced at him and ignored him.
Seeing that he dared to ignore him, Cen Xi grabbed his arm without any warning, âCanât you hear me speaking to you?â
He Zihuan broke away from his hand and said in a low voice, âWhat if I hear you? When it comes to a person with a mouthful of dung like you, a person with no quality, why should I care? You think that everyone will follow your footsteps to fame and fortune, climbing on othersâ beds casually? Stop joking, this time I wonât let you ruin my future.â
Cen Xi thought he hadnât known that he was hidden by the company because of him.
âYou f*cking have the nerve to say that again?â Cen Xi was absolutely angry, and struck out towards him with his fists.
He Zihuan had long been prepared, and stepped back, letting his fists hit the air.
âWhat is it, who asked you to quarrel in the company?â Pan Zhihai roared as he walked over, his reproachful gaze falling on Cen Xi. âYou are beating others at every turn â Cen Xi, Iâm telling you now, youâd better curb your ill temper. You are only a little famous now, but there is a lot of negative news about you outside.â
Cen Xi felt very aggrieved, and his temper could no longer be suppressed. He immediately slammed the door and left. They all thought he could be bullied without Zhao Shao as a backer, right? He didnât believe that these people couldnât be defeated.
After his two assistants followed him out, Cen Xi stood at the entrance of the hall, talking with Zhao Shao using the phone in his hand. The assistant Xiao Li couldnât help but shudder when he heard his fake voice. However, within a few minutes, Cen Xi angrily hung up and cursed; it seemed that Zhao Shao couldnât help him?\nHe Zihuan and the five other artists who were called to the company were taken to Wang Chengâs office by Pan Zhihai. They stood in a row, a line of handsome men and beautiful women. Everyone looked at Wang Cheng nervously. Like everyone else, when they saw Wang Cheng for the first time, they couldnât quite believe that this person was the chairman of Yazhi.
These people were more or less hidden because they offended Cen Xi. In fact, they themselves didnât have any big problems with them, and since they had signed with Yazhi last year, it would take several years before their contracts expired.
Wang Chengâs gaze flicked over them one by one. The documents in front of him were their materials, which he had read yesterday.
Nowadays, it was increasingly difficult for Yazhi to sign new people. The downside of their reputation was that some newcomers with good conditions were not willing to sign when they heard that Yazhi was such an economic company. So, now, they could only start with these newcomers who signed last year. Fortunately, Zhao Chenlin made the right choices when it came to provocative appearances, so these people had higher appearance values, ââregardless of gender
âI have seen your information. Two of you had participated in singing competitions and achieved good rankings. However, now that half a year has passed, the popularity accumulated in the past is estimated to have almost disappeared. Meng Chaofan, Huang Yaqin, what do you think?â Wang Chengâs gaze fixed onto a man and a woman to the right.
Meng Chaofan and Huang Yaqin looked at each other. They almost lost all hope after being hidden by the snow, and still hadnât recovered from the shock of suddenly being called back to the company this time. Before, they didnât have any idea when they were returning to the entertainment industry, so they were very happy now. It was just all too sudden.
Wanting to seize this opportunity, Meng Chaofan said: âI like singing. Although I had stayed at home for the past six months, I studied some popular songs and made some songs myself.â
Huang Yaqin obviously knew that this was her chance and said similar things. Though she didnât know how to compose songs, she sang almost all the popular songs during the time she was at home.
After being hidden in the snow because of the company, both of them were discouraged for a period of time. Later, a friend told them that they could not bury their talents for this reason. Maybe there would be opportunities in the future, and if such an opportunity came but they themselves could not keep up, the result would only be regret.
âZhou Shao, I think Li Yan can take them,â Pan Zhihai proposed.
âLi Yan?â Wang Cheng recalled that this person seemed to have also debuted as a singer before. She was once famous, but later changed her career to be an agent. Although her influence was not as good as before, her previous contacts should still be there. The artists she led, who were handpicked by Feng Hui, not only didnât know how to act, but didnât even know how to sing. They werenât any good at all, and her talents were buried. âThen let her take them on, and discuss with her how to arrange it.â\nMeng Chaofan and Huang Yaqin were very excited when they heard this. The others had not determined until now that the company was really going to lift the snow that had been put against them. Unsurprisingly, Wang Cheng also arranged things for them one by one. These people were more inclined to act, but because they had been silent for over half a year, theyâd more or less forgotten what theyâd learned before. So, Wang Cheng asked Pan Zhihai to arrange a crash course for them as soon as possible.
Seeing that those who had come in with him already had their matters arranged, He Zihuan became a little worried. However, he didnât dare to show it on his face. He told himself that it was useless to be anxious.
Finally, only he and Wang Cheng were left in the office.
Wang Cheng picked up the last piece of information, âHe Zihuan, you are a Peking Opera graduate artist, so your basic skills should be solid. I hear that your goal is to be an actor?â
He Zihuan looked a little stunned for a moment; it seemed that he didnât expect for him to know his goal. Yes, because he had studied acting, he had always had a soft spot for being an actor. He was full of confidence when he graduated, but was shocked by such a large blow as soon as he debuted, and almost fell into disrepair.
âDonât be surprised. A person named Tang Sai told me this when he suddenly ran to my office yesterday afternoon, hoping that I would give you a chance. Although I originally had this plan, your friend was still willing to help you fight for an opportunity in a time when things were unknown. You have made a good friend,â Wang Cheng explained.
He Zihuan would have never thought that his friendship would be involved in things. He thought of what Tang Sai said yesterday, and his heart became moved. âHe and I both graduated from Peking Opera. I hope that Zhou Shao can also give Tang Sai a chance, he is a hard worker.â
âMy purpose in taking over the company is to improve Yazhi, to erase the past, and let everyone have a chance in the future. However, whether they can seize that chance is up to them. Now, letâs talk about you first. Your current conditions are not bad, so Iâll give you a chance now. In the future, Pan Zhihai will be your agent. You will be notified afterwards when your specific work arrangements are decided. Now, all you have to do is recover your best condition. I will hire professionals for the crash course who will come here, so go participate for a period of time. I hope you will let me see an effect by then.â
âYes, I will do my best and wonât disappoint Zhou Shaoâs expectations.â He Zihuan was relieved in his heart when he heard this. He seemed to have returned to his ambitious and elegant self when he had just graduated.
Although Wang Cheng had never experienced them personally, he could understand them. Now he was given an opportunity. If he couldnât grasp it, it was his own fault.
At the same time, the news of Yazhiâs change in chairman also appeared in major entertainment newspapers.
\nEveryone immediately stared at the gate with glowing eyes; a few seconds later, a figure walked out, followed by Agent Dou Hong and two assistants.
âItâs Qi Dai. I didnât expect to see her at the company. Quickly take pictures.â
The sound of clicking cameras sounded one after another. Just as their cameras followed Qi Daiâs figure, Wang Chengâs figure also appeared at the gate. A reporter saw him, but Wang Cheng was wearing sunglasses and was so far away, so he couldnât see his face clearly. As he was alone, the reporter didnât care too much.
âHuh? Who is this person? Is it a Jinlan or Yazhi artist?â Another reporter saw Wang Cheng, who had suddenly walked into their sight, and made a puzzled voice. He narrowed the zoom of his camera, but still couldnât recognize who had come out.
âIt should be a Yazhi artist. It would be impossible for such a good-looking person to be buried at Jinlan. There are quite a lot of artists who have returned to Yazhi in recent days.â
The other party suddenly exclaimed, âHey, look, is Qi Dai saying hello to the other party?â
Others hurriedly raised their cameras. Through the lens, they saw Qi Dai take the initiative to walk towards the other party. Her smiling expression seemed to be the same as that of the other personâs, but the newcomerâs reaction when seeing her seemed a little flat, as if he didnât recognize Qi Dai. Qi Dai was a well-known celebrity, so it was strange for a person in the entertainment industry to not know her. However, maybe it was because the other party was a newcomer, that might explain it.
Qi Dai didnât talk to the other party for long. It might have been because the other party wasnât willing to speak, but when Qi Dai took the initiative to talk to the other party, he just shook his hand and left.
Everyone looked at each other. After a while, they passed on the news they got back to their agency. They had already brainstormed the title, âQi Dai kindly gestures to a little star that faces her coldly?â Or âQi Dai, the number one beauty in ancient costume dramas, receives from a newcomer, a âslap in the faceââ etc. In short, they were striving to catch eyes.
