Fang Fang, hearing this, nervously approached the man and timidly addressed him, "Brother Zhang."
The man looked at Fang Fang up close again and noticed that her figure was indeed excellent.
He couldn't help but praise, "The boss's taste is getting better and better. Which academy did you graduate from?"
"University of Finance and Economics," Fang Fang replied.
"Finance?" The man was taken aback.
Then he chuckled, "I thought you were from a media academy. But it doesn't matter. If you don't understand, I can teach you. With my relationship with our boss, it's very easy to get you a supporting role in a movie."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang," Fang Fang said gratefully.
She thought he was one of Chen Mo's seven sisters, sent specifically to help her.
The man glanced at Fang Fang, a slight smile playing on his lips, "What's your name?"
"Fang Fang."
"Fang Fang? The name is easy to remember. But you should know that the entertainment industry is very cruel to newcomers."
Fang Fang nodded, "I know. Thank you for your help."
Seeing that Fang Fang only offered thanks and no further gestures, the man spoke again, "Fang Fang, if things could be accomplished with just verbal thanks, then the entertainment industry wouldn't be so cruel."
Fang Fang looked confused, not understanding what the man meant.
The man didn't say anything more and took a sip of water from his bottle.
The assistant beside him understood the man's intention and spoke, "As a newcomer, do you know what it takes to develop in the entertainment industry?"
Fang Fang shook her head.
The assistant smiled playfully, "The most important thing is naturally having a backer."
"A backer?" Fang Fang was startled.
"That's right. As the saying goes, 'Leaning against a big tree provides shade.' Brother Zhang is the star with the most resources at Chaoshneg Entertainment, and he's about to break into the ranks of A-list celebrities."
"That's amazing." Fang Fang was surprised to hear about A-list celebrities.
The man smiled, seemingly pleased by Fang Fang's tone of admiration.
The assistant continued, "So, beautiful girl, if you want more resources, you need to find a big tree."
Fang Fang pondered this.
She already knew yesterday that Chen Mo's seventh sister was Luo Bing, an international superstar.
However, she didn't know if Luo Bing counted as the big tree behind her.
"Beautiful girl, am I not being clear enough?" the assistant asked with a slight frown.
If it were any other newcomer, they would probably be throwing themselves at the man by now, but Fang Fang showed no reaction.
"I understand. Thank you for clearing my doubts," Fang Fang nodded.
Then she turned to leave.
The assistant looked bewildered.
The man's expression gradually turned cold the moment Fang Fang turned away.
"Stop."
Hearing the man's voice, Fang Fang slowly stopped.
"Brother Zhang, is there anything else?" Fang Fang asked.
The man slowly stood up, took a room card from his pocket, and handed it to Fang Fang.
As Fang Fang looked on in confusion, the man said, "I'll be waiting in the room tonight. You should understand what I mean."
When Fang Fang saw the room card in the man's hand.
Her face darkened.
"What do you mean?" Fang Fang demanded.
The man smiled playfully, "Exactly what you think, beautiful girl. No newcomer has ever refused me. I advise you to think carefully, or I'll make you understand."
"Slap!"
However, before the man could finish speaking, the sound of a slap echoed through the room.
The smile on the man's face froze.
The two assistants standing behind him widened their eyes.
They couldn't believe that a newcomer from the company dared to slap Brother Zhang!
The man's face turned extremely grim, "You dare to hit me?"
"Shameless, vulgar! Someone like you deserves to be hit!" Fang Fang retorted.
"You bitch!"
The man glared at Fang Fang viciously.
"Slap!"
He raised his hand and slapped Fang Fang directly across the face.
"Ah!"
Fang Fang cried out.
"Thump!"
She fell directly to the ground.
"Do you know who I am? I am Zhang Meng! The top male artist at Chaoshneg Entertainment! What the hell do you think you are to act so high and mighty in front of me?!"
Fang Fang lay on the ground, clear finger marks imprinted on her right cheek.
Zhang Meng sneered, "Trying to fight me? You don't even know your own worth."
Saying that, Zhang Meng threw the room card at Fang Fang, "Listen to me clearly, you will come to my room tonight, or you won't get any work!"
Then he asked, "Are you thinking you just won't act?"
"I can tell you clearly, an artist's salary is tied to their work. Without work, the company won't give you a single cent."
"Then, you'll have no money and you can't terminate the contract, because terminating it requires paying huge compensation. For trainees like you, it's probably about ten million in liquidated damages. Can you afford ten million?"
"So, I advise you to be obedient. Serve me well, and I might let this go."
"Pah!"
"Disgusting!"
Fang Fang spat at him, her eyes filled with disgust.
"Damn it, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin," Zhang Meng said, raising his hand to slap Fang Fang again.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, the door to the makeup room was pushed open.
Zhang Meng's raised hand stopped mid-air, and he said with a gentle smile, "Fang Fang, how could you be so careless? Hurry and get up."
Seeing Zhang Meng's sudden change in demeanor, Fang Fang felt even more disgusted.
However, she naturally wouldn't take Zhang Meng's dirty hand and stood up on her own, turning to leave.
She had already decided that if the entertainment industry was truly this disgusting, she wouldn't enter it.
"What just happened?" the person who entered the room asked.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhang Meng quickly smiled and explained, "Boss, it's like this. Fang Fang just fell accidentally, and I was about to help her up."
The person who entered was none other than Zhou Tianchang, the boss of Chaoshneg Entertainment.
Zhou Tianchang frowned slightly, "Who told you to come in?"
Zhang Meng looked at Fang Fang playfully.
Seeing Fang Fang looking down and remaining silent, Zhang Meng smirked, "Boss, this makeup room is empty anyway. She's just a newcomer and didn't know she couldn't enter this makeup room. Since it's her first mistake, let's just let it go."
After speaking, Zhang Meng glanced at Fang Fang.
His tactic of using both kindness and authority, speaking up for Fang Fang, was to let her know his standing in front of the boss.
Only then could he make Fang Fang willingly climb into his bed!
"I'll leave now," Fang Fang replied coldly and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Fang Fang about to leave, Zhou Tianchang hurriedly stopped her.
"Miss Fang, you've misunderstood. I wasn't talking to you. This makeup room is exclusively for you. I was asking Zhang Meng who told him to come in!"
At that moment, Zhang Meng, who was standing by with a playful expression, froze.
