When Quan Jiu received Guo Xiao's call, she was downstairs at the building. Hearing that Xing Di was coming to sign, she was quite surprised and quickly quickened her pace.
As she reached the company entrance, before even going in, she heard Guo Xiao arguing with someone.
"What's wrong?" Quan Jiu asked.
Seeing her boss return, Guo Xiao immediately acted as if she had a backer. She pointed at Fei Wen and said, "Boss, this person came for an interview and after waiting for just a few minutes, she started rushing me. I told her the interview time hadn't arrived yet, but she dissed another interviewee and said she was leaving. She insisted I give her the resume. This resume was printed by the company, not brought by her." kuAiδugg
Fei Wen and Yan Tong both looked towards the entrance. Seeing a stunningly beautiful woman enter, they were both secretly surprised.
Was the boss this beautiful? And so young?
Perhaps intimidated by the powerful and beautiful aura of the newcomer, or perhaps exposed in front of Xing Di, Fei Wen was no longer as confrontational as before. Instead, she explained with a hint of grievance:
"I have other interviews this afternoon, I'm really in a hurry. Besides, my suspicion was reasonable. Your recruitment requirements state a minimum of a bachelor's degree for financial positions, but the other interviewee only has an associate's degree. I had to doubt your authenticity."
Quan Jiu nodded slightly. "Since you're in a hurry, both of you come in. I'll interview you together."
Yan Tong immediately became nervous and waved her hands, "Let her go first, I'm not in a hurry."
"It's alright, both of you come in," Quan Jiu said with a comforting smile, then turned her gaze back to Xing Di and Liao Wei. "Please wait for a moment."
Xing Di grinned and waved his hand潇洒ly, "No rush, you go ahead and get busy."
Guo Xiao seized the moment and immediately bragged to her friend, "So handsome, the bracket smile is absolutely perfect."
Fei Wen's eyes seemed glued to Xing Di.
It had to be said, the difference between a celebrity and an ordinary person could only be truly felt when face-to-face. The gap was immense, a vast difference that made one feel inferior just by standing beside them.
"Come with me," Quan Jiu said.
Fei Wen finally snapped back to reality and, one step ahead of Yan Tong, entered the conference room.
"First, please give a brief self-introduction," Quan Jiu said to Fei Wen and Yan Tong.
Face-to-face, Fei Wen was shocked by the beauty of this boss. Was she also in the entertainment industry?
Fei Wen thought carefully but couldn't recall seeing such a beautiful female celebrity. Her looks were not inferior to even the most popular beauties, no, they were even more outstanding.
"I am a master's graduate from B University, graduating this June, with an average GPA of 3.8 during my studies. I participated in calligraphy, dance, and musical instrument clubs, served as student council president, and was involved in the university's accounting and auditing projects..."
Fei Wen recited her background like a tongue twister.
Hearing those impressive terms, Yan Tong felt a pang of envy. If she could have gotten into a bachelor's program, perhaps her life would also be so colorful.
Lost in thought, Fei Wen's voice stopped. She had finished her introduction.
Yan Tong quickly collected herself and slowly said, "I graduated from A City Finance and Economics College. During my studies, I obtained an accounting qualification certificate, assistant accountant, and certified public accountant certificates. After graduation, I worked at Xikang Electronics Co., Ltd. in a basic accounting position. My daily work mainly involved..."
Fei Wen frowned as she listened. Xikang Electronics was also a listed company. Could an associate's degree holder really get into a listed company? Moreover, it was just daily work, was there a need to list everything item by item? What was there to show off?
But despite her thoughts, she gradually discerned the difference between the two. Although Yan Tong only had an associate's degree, she had extensive work experience and many qualification certificates, making her sound much more practical.
Realizing this, Fei Wen became somewhat flustered. After Yan Tong finished, she quickly added, "You asked for a simple introduction earlier, and I didn't explain it very clearly. I also did many projects during my master's program, all of which are detailed in my resume."
Quan Jiu nodded slightly and asked a few more questions, finally saying, "You can both go back today. I will notify you for the second round of interviews."
Fei Wen felt displeased. This kind of shabby company actually required a second visit.
But thinking of Xing Di outside, and that she could soon be in the same company as a big star, she could only endure it.
The two left one after another.
Quan Jiu then invited Xing Di and Liao Wei into the conference room and asked Guo Xiao to print two copies of the contract.
"Is 'Fu Sheng' finished filming?" Quan Jiu asked Xing Di curiously.
"I'm almost done with filming. I have no scenes today, so I rushed over to sign," Xing Di said with a grin.
"Have you really thought about it? My contract is for at least ten years," Quan Jiu handed the contracts to Xing Di and Liao Wei.
Liao Wei subtly tugged at Xing Di: "My dear, the company isn't even renovated yet, have you really thought this through?"
Xing Di, however, seemed oblivious. He casually flipped through the contract and signed it decisively.
"I came mainly to latch onto a strong backer. I've heard that you've even arranged roles and scripts for students who only had a week of mentorship with you, and they're being directed by big directors. As a family member, the boss surely won't treat me unfairly, right?"
Quan Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will create a hit debut work tailored for you. After 'Fu Sheng' finishes filming, you won't take on any more film or television dramas for a while. I'll find you a variety show first; your image, temperament, and personality are all very suitable for variety shows."
Xing Di suddenly stood up and performed a solemn ninety-degree bow. "Thank you, Boss." Then he looked up and grinned, "Boss, do you have a boyfriend?"
Quan Jiu coughed. "No boyfriend."
"Then..." Xing Di's eyes lit up.
Quan Jiu pursed her lips and smiled. "I have two children."
Xing Di and Liao Wei were both stunned.
Xing Di let out a regretful sigh and murmured, "Married young."
"Since you are her agent, are you joining Chuxin as well?" Quan Jiu asked Liao Wei.
Liao Wei shook his head like a rattle drum. "I'm an independent agent, I don't sign with companies." He wouldn't throw himself into a pit. Xing Di had the backing of the Xing family, so she could do whatever she pleased. He, on the other hand, had elders and children to support and couldn't afford to be tossed around.
Quan Jiu said, "Alright. Then you'll be affiliated. Ping Yang is also affiliated."
Liao Wei was stunned at first, thinking he misheard. After a moment of愣神, he exclaimed, "Ping Yang? That... incredibly capable and arrogant Ping Yang?"
Quan Jiu nodded. "You should meet often in the future. The artists he manages will graduate in another half a month."
Liao Wei was somewhat dazed. He suddenly felt he might need to re-evaluate this new company. Ping Yang, that was a top independent agent that countless artists and celebrities wanted to collaborate with, the kind you couldn't hire even with money.
"Besides Ping Yang, which other agents have your company signed so far?" Liao Wei asked out of pure curiosity.
"Currently, only Bai Lin has agreed to join," Quan Jiu replied.
"Bai Lin?" Liao Wei's eyes immediately widened like copper bells. That was a super ace agent that even huge companies like Tianyu and Tianhua couldn't hire with high salaries. And he was coming to Chuxin?!
Liao Wei chuckled awkwardly. Compared to them, he felt somewhat unqualified.
After leaving Chuxin Culture, Liao Wei hadn't recovered from his shock. "Although Chuxin is newly established, its starting point is too high. I originally thought you were just having a whim, but I didn't expect you to have such good judgment. Bai Lin and Ping Yang, both are people who can carry a team on their own. Working with them in the future, I can also benefit."
Xing Di, however, looked dejected. "What a pity, why did she get married so young? I've had a rare rumored girlfriend these past few years, and Old Man Xing has been urging me to bring someone back to see him. I was originally hoping the boss could help a little, but now it's no use. She's already the mother of children, so I feel awkward bothering her."
Liao Wei scoffed. "Save it. With your grandfather's discerning eye, can he not see through your little tricks?"
Xing Di sighed even louder, irritably running his hair.
...
After five in the afternoon, Quan Jiu picked up Mi Mi and Tu Tu.
After bringing the two children home and having dinner with them, Quan Jiu held a robot figurine and approached Tu Tu, "Son, I need your emergency help with something."
