Chen Fang lit a cigarette and took a drag.

"Xiaoming, we've met before. You seem to be of Chinese descent. Are you thinking of changing jobs?"

Huang Xiaoming smiled and said, "I am not of Chinese descent. I am an artist under Sister Hua's management. To be precise, I am just an artist affiliated with Sister Hua."

"Wang Jinghua?"

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Shen Fang stroked his chin. Although Huang Xiaoming likes to play domineering CEOs, he is a genuine actor. Moreover, he is a business tycoon with more than 60 companies under his control, so he is a real domineering CEO. He is very good at interpersonal relationships, and no one in the industry speaks ill of him. He is also very adept at social skills, so his acting skills should be quite good. As for why his acting skills sometimes fluctuate, it is very likely because Huang Xiaoming considers other people's feelings. If someone's acting is good, he will give it his all; if someone's acting is not good, he will only give it three-tenths of his effort. He treats actors as a job.

With Huang Xiaoming joining Dragon Entertainment, he's very likely to become the top star, as the company currently doesn't have many artists.

However, Huang Xiaoming is quite good in every aspect, so joining Longteng is also a good option.

"I have no problem with it. I think it's great that Xiaoming can join our company."

Huang Xiaoming was pleasantly surprised. He had worked in Hong Kong before, and his manager was Huang Bin, one of the top ten top agents. It was Huang Bin who made Huang Xiaoming known as "Master Huang."

Well-informed and knowing who Shen Fang really was, Huang Xiaoming was sent to find Xu Yan to see if there was any chance of getting into Longteng. Longteng was a newcomer with such a large presence, but internally weak, with hardly any artists. If Huang Xiaoming could get in, his chances of becoming the top star would be very secure. With the right strategy, becoming the number one mid-career star wouldn't be a problem.

"Mr. Shen, thank you very much."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "It's nothing. We're fellow disciples. Teacher Xu has already spoken, so I'll definitely give him face."

Xu Yan nodded with great satisfaction.

"What about Danchen and Qinqin?"

"Sister Danchen is a great beauty, with a real star quality. Joining Longteng will naturally be no problem for her. As for Sister Qinqin, if I remember correctly, you were under Qiong Yao's management, right?"

Jiang Qinqin nodded.

"Yes, I work for Aunt Qiong Yao's agency."

Shen Fang stroked his chin: "Well, how should I put it? I really dislike Qiong Yao. The dramas she makes mislead young women these days. They're all about mistresses who scold the wives, and wives who scold mistresses. They're hypocritical and disgusting. Sister Qinqin, I'm sorry, but even though you and Qiong Yao are two different people, two individuals, we can't work together. And Qiong Yao won't let you go so easily, there must be a penalty for breach of contract."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinqin lowered her head.

Xu Yan glanced at Shen Fang, then at Jiang Qinqin.

"Qinqin, you haven't terminated your contract yet?"

Jiang Qinqin nodded: "No, there's a 2 million yuan penalty for breach of contract. Aunt Qiong Yao's agency is very stingy with money; I don't earn much. Besides, new talents keep coming in, and now I can only get supporting roles. I..."

Shen Fang sneered.

"What kind of good person could she be? She's mean-spirited and ungrateful, misleading young men and women, and always trying to make money off them. Senior sister, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Just leave as soon as possible. I'll blacklist her sooner or later."

Xu Yan remained silent.

"What are you talking about? You can't just ban someone like that. He's a great writer who has influenced a generation."

Shen Fang's face turned cold: "They're all those damn melodramatic romance dramas, brainwashing teenagers and girls into messing around with each other, and they still talk about love? Hey, I'll get her when I get the chance."

Huang Xiaoming was astonished. "Wow, that's impressive! He can take on whoever he wants without hesitation." Huang Xiaoming didn't think Shen Fang was exaggerating; he knew very well that Shen Fang had the ability to do so.

Xu Yan rolled her eyes at Chen Fang.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's order."

Shen Fang called over a waiter.

"Sisi, what would you like to eat? It's on me."

"Teacher Xu, how can I let you treat me? This meal is on me today," Huang Xiaoming quickly said.

“I said I’d treat, so I’ll treat. You guys don’t earn money easily. I don’t spend much money myself, and I have more than I can spend with my salary. You’re still young, so save more money and don’t spend it extravagantly, especially you, Chen Fang.”

Sinking Square.....

To be fair, Xu Yan genuinely cares about her students and has no ulterior motives in helping them with such a big matter; she even treated them to a meal.

"Alright, this meal is on me. After all, I'm the richest. Waiter, bring a bottle of Bordeaux, a good vintage one. Sisi, order whatever you like."

Xu Yan smiled: "It's fine to accept a generous offer, then thank you."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "It's not right for you to eat my meal. By the way, Teacher Xu, are you going home for New Year's Eve? My friend got me a ticket to the Spring Festival Gala, and it's in the first three rows. If you're free, you can come along."

“Me? Me? Brother Chen Fang,” Liu Qianqian raised her hand.

Shen Fang pinched Liu Qianqian's little face.

"Of course it's for you, and for Aunt Liu too. My parents will be coming too, and so will Brother Ma. We'll celebrate the New Year together."

"yeah!!!"

Liu Qianqian was very happy.

"The first three rows??? Xiao Fang, what does your friend do? The first three rows are for big shots."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "A big brother from the military region, do you know Ye Daying?"

"Ye Daying from Beijing's elite circle?"

Shen Fang nodded: "Yes."

"How do you know him? He's Marshal Ye's grandson."

Shen Fang glanced at Xu Yan with great surprise. It seemed that Teacher Xu was no ordinary person.

"We met recently, and we hit it off immediately."

Xu Yan nodded; she didn't want to ask any more questions.

"The Beijing circle has considerable influence, and Ye Daying is arguably the most influential one within it. With his help, things will go much more smoothly in Beijing."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, I can still plant my flag without him. I'm not bragging, but I have very strong connections. This time, I opened up the connection between Hong Kong and the mainland and made a big move. Starting next year, Hong Kong artists will be preparing to go north, and we in the mainland will also work with Hong Kong to promote the domestic entertainment industry economy. The higher-ups have also approved my plan this time. I am the one in charge."

Xu Yan gave Chen Fang a few deep looks.

"I'm so happy that you're doing so well. I've always liked you as a student. Chen Fang, I only have one piece of advice for you: obey the law, be a good person, and don't lose your humanity for money."

Shen Fang nodded: "Professor Xu, please rest assured, everything I do is for the mainland film market and entertainment industry to get back on track."

Xu Yan nodded: "I believe you."

Yan Danchen and Jiang Qinqin were dumbfounded, while Huang Xiaoming was shocked and excited. With such a powerful boss, wouldn't joining Longteng mean he was about to take off?
