He Ci looked at the list handed to him, propped his forehead up, and looked at Lao Gao, "Are your eyes getting blurry?"

Lao Gao: "..."

He knew the list was a bit outrageous, but it didn't deserve such a furious outburst from He Ci. As a working man, I can tolerate it!

He looked at He Ci ingratiatingly, "Isn't there no other way?"

Ultimately, they just wanted a personal assistant from the start, ostensibly to take care of the group, but actually to monitor their every move... The pay is low, the workload is heavy, and it's far from home. Unless you're doing it out of passion or have no other choice but to pay for it, you probably wouldn't even glance at this garbage job that's comparable to the old days.

Old Gao had approached several people before, but they were all unsuitable for various reasons...

He glanced at Xie Jinshen's name on the resume, thought for a moment, and then cautiously said, "...This is what the higher-ups want."

It means that this assistant position was assigned to me by the company above, and there's nothing I can do about it.

He Ci knew, of course, that this was someone sent by his superiors... but he just couldn't understand why they would send an assistant.

Especially since the assistant is quite good-looking...

To call it a roundabout route is perhaps a bit too roundabout.

He felt his head start to throb again, but Xie Jinshen's resume was flawless; supposedly, his hobby was appreciating classical music, which had absolutely nothing to do with the idol industry...

They don't look like fans at all.

But what kind of classical music enthusiast would want to be a celebrity's personal assistant, a combination of workhorse and cow?

It's not like they're just bored and have nothing better to do.

He Ci had always known that this kind of backbreaking work could only fool some people who had a strange yearning for the entertainment industry, except for college graduates who knew nothing. Maybe their goal was to work as an assistant for three months and then go to Douyin to become a marketing account and broadcast inside stories of the entertainment industry, earning more than the backbreaking salary of an assistant.

“Good school, good resume, good looks too.” He Ci looked at Lao Gao. “Why do you think you chose to be an assistant?”

Old Gao cursed He Ci inwardly for being such a busybody.

Just think of it as winning the lottery!

But on the surface, he still had to serve as He Ci's chief eunuch. "Maybe he's the son of some boss?"

He guessed, "He was interested in the entertainment industry, so he became an assistant."

"I've only ever heard of rich kids spending money to get into talent shows, but I've never heard of rich kids spending money to become slaves," He Ci said.

But he also knew that if he wanted Lao Gao to investigate more, he would be putting Lao Gao in a difficult position... So he waved his hand, told Lao Gao about an interview time, and prepared to meet the new assistant in person.

...

Cen Yu sat on the sofa and leaned over to the two extras to see the big news.

The photo selected is of Gu Hanyin when she was shortlisted in a major competition abroad—Gu Hanyin was 30 years old that year, at the age of thirty, and could be described as having unlimited glory.

The photo shows Gu Hanyin walking the red carpet, surrounded by the entire crew of the production team.

Because the movie was based on a realistic theme, the main actors were all quite old but talented, which made Gu Hanyin, who was walking in the center of the red carpet, seem a bit neurotic and handsome.

Gu Hanyin was tall, nearly 190 cm, with a slender figure and a pale complexion that seemed to have never seen the sun.

He never smiles, and when he looks at the camera, he subconsciously frowns, making it clear at a glance that he is an extremely picky person.

Gu Hanyin is 35 years old now, which is considered the beginning of a director's career.

This is also the first time he has spoken out about making a new movie after being silent for two or three years. I remember that one of the male leads, Cen Yu, is a powerful actor. The other role has not yet been decided. What he wants is the freshness and wildness of a newcomer who has not been deliberately sculpted.

“They said they were looking for new people.” Cen Yu glanced at Gu Hanyin’s words.

Of course, this is a beautified version.

Gu Hanyin's original words were that he couldn't stand the acting skills of many people nowadays; they were either too slick or had no acting skills at all.

What he wanted was the character itself, not the product of acting skills.

“Yes…” a member remarked.

They all saw Gu Hanyin's outrageous statement, and of course, they could also see that because of this statement, the comments section on Weibo had turned into a battleground.

After all, the movie starring Gu Hanyin is a huge opportunity, and the age requirement for the role is under 25, which has made young actors rack their brains.

But as soon as he said that, he seemed a bit arrogant, as if he looked down on everyone in the entertainment industry... Some fans had already started cursing him in the comments.

Li Yanxiao, standing close to Cen Yu, naturally saw the news and the online arguments on the two members' tablets.

"Will we run into him that day too?" Li Yanxiao always spoke directly.

"Probably," a member said.

"After all, judging from the official lineup, Gu Hanyin is also going to this fashion event."

"Why would he go?" Li Yanxiao asked bluntly. "Judging from his remarks, I thought he looked down on this kind of occasion."

"Shh!" The member quickly gestured, he was also afraid of this outspoken older brother.

After all, they're a group now, so they'll be held accountable for any problems that arise. "...Maybe they were invited?"

Cen Yu knew why.

Because Gu Hanyin's teacher happened to have a painting that was going to be auctioned for charity. His teacher had just passed away two years ago, and the painting was taken out from a collector's home for the charity auction.

Therefore, Gu Hanyin would also attend this charity gala for the sake of this painting.

Then she met Xie Jinshen, who was her assistant...

Cen Yu thought to himself, "This is one of the most satisfying parts of the original work!"

The protagonist, who is abandoned and threatened by a scumbag boyfriend, enters the entertainment industry by chance. While working as an assistant, he is spotted by a famous director and becomes a rising star in the entertainment industry.

Li Yanxiao was just asking casually.

Seeing the members looking so tense, I suddenly felt a little bored.

Seeing that Cen Yu beside him seemed quite interested in this, he asked, "Are you interested?"

As soon as he said that, the eyes of the remaining two members immediately fell on Cen Yu.

—Although they are teammates, they are also competitors.

Everyone wants to be noticed by Gu Hanyin and rise to great heights, but wanting it is one thing, saying it out loud is another.

“No.” Cen Yu looked at the two extras who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

I think they're overthinking things. So what if he's interested? It's up to Gu Hanyin to be interested in him!

"I was just thinking about a question..."

"We're not supposed to dance on this occasion, are we?"

"..." The two members fell silent.

Li Yanxiao was also somewhat stunned.

It's not that they can't sing and dance, but in such a formal setting, asking them to go up and sing the theme song of a talent show that involves jumping around is unacceptable.

...That doesn't seem quite right, does it?
