With a question mark on her head, Qiao Yiyi went to the 15th floor and knocked on the door of Zhao Anna's new office according to the instructions of the staff member just now.
Zhao Anna said, "Come in."
Qiao Yiyi pushed open the door and looked around the room. She saw that the new office was much smaller than the original one on the 18th floor. There were a lot of miscellaneous items inside. Even Zhao Anna's desk was no longer independent, but the same as that of other employees.
Seeing Qiao Yiyi, Zhao Anna asked her to sit down opposite her. She looked normal and nothing could be seen.
Qiao Yiyi asked cautiously, "Sister Anna, what's wrong? Why did you move downstairs?"
"Nothing, just a normal company personnel transfer." Zhao Anna pushed her glasses and pulled a document from a pile of folders. "This is the contract for 'My Dream Town'. Take a look."
Seeing that Zhao Anna didn't seem to want to talk about work, Qiao Yiyi stopped asking and took the contract to read it. When she saw the string of zeros after the notice fee, her eyes widened: "So much money?"
Seeing her fuss, Zhao Anna said calmly, "Beishi is involved in many industrial chains, and this time they've made a big move to expand into the entertainment industry. You're one of the first to try it, so you're quite lucky."
As an ordinary office worker before traveling through the book, and a poor artist who was plagued by negative news and had to pay compensation after traveling through the book, this was the first time that Qiao Yiyi saw such a large share of money.
Don't blame her for reacting so strongly. It's just that after deducting the company's share, compensation, and taxes from the money she earned from participating in various activities in the past, there is not much left in her hands.
Qiao Yiyi quickly calculated in her mind how much money she could get this time.
As if she could see through her thoughts, Zhao Anna said, "With this announcement fee, not only will you be able to pay off all your previous debts, but you'll also be able to keep some money."
Qiao Yiyi: “!!!”
Is that enough to pay it off?
She had an expression of disbelief.
Zhao Anna: "Don't act like a loser, like you've never seen money in your life."
Qiao Yiyi blushed. Hehe, she had never seen so much money before.
She quickly signed her name on the contract, which drew a complicated look from Zhao Anna: "You signed it without even reading it. Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you?"
Qiao Yiyi was so happy that she spoke with a wave: "You are the sister Anna whom I admire and trust the most. How could you possibly cheat me!"
Zhao Anna saw a smile in the corners of her eyes, and her mood became more complicated. For a moment, she was glad that she had persisted at that time.
She asked Qiao Yiyi: "Have you considered which platform to cooperate with after terminating your contract with the company?"
"Terminate the contract?" Qiao Yiyi wondered. "Don't I still have three years left on my contract with the company? If I terminate the contract, won't I have to pay a lot of liquidated damages?"
"But if the contract expires..." she pondered, a longing light in her eyes, "I have considered opening a gourmet restaurant."
Zhao Anna: “…”
Well, she overestimated Qiao Yiyi's ambition.
Zhao Anna sighed and waved her hand: “You can leave after signing the contract.”
Seeing that she was immersed in her work again, with fatigue in her eyes, not as energetic as before, Qiao Yiyi's doubts deepened.
But she knew that Zhao Anna was always strong-willed, and she wouldn't get anything out of her even if she asked, so she had to leave the office.
When I went out to wait for the elevator, I found that my shoelaces were undone, so I squatted in the corner to tie them. At this time, two girls came over. They probably didn't see me behind the evergreen tree. While waiting for the elevator, they whispered to each other:
"Have you heard that He Yao is going out to open his own studio?"
"Doesn't he already have his own studio?"
"What I mean is that this time I will be completely independent from our company and will no longer participate in the company's cooperation and dividends."
"Ah, why? Isn't the new president very nice to him?"
"Alas, who knows? We don't understand what the bosses are thinking."
"Sister Anna is really miserable. For a top leader to be treated like this, isn't that like crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"
"Yeah, the main thing is that the newly appointed agency director is also speechless, and the artists he brought over are also hard to describe."
"Are you talking about that Chi Wei?"
"Yes, that's her. She's got a strange air about her. She says one thing to your face and another behind your back."
"I heard she's also going to participate in that new variety show?"
"Yes, with Sister Yiyi. I don't know how I got stuffed in there. I hope Sister Yiyi doesn't get fooled by her appearance."
As they were talking, the elevator arrived and the two got in.
Qiao Yiyi stood up and found that her legs were numb from squatting and she almost fell down.
It turns out that Sister Anna was suppressed by the new president.
She remembered what Baomei hadn't finished saying in Qingyuan Village last time, which should be related to these things.
In Qiao Yiyi's heart, Zhao Anna has always been an image of a decisive, smart and capable woman. Although she is a little strict with her and usually cold, she is really nice to her.
She always thought that Sister Anna was omnipotent, but she never expected that she would encounter such a thing.
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
Qiao Yiyi was thinking about something and not paying attention to what was in front of her.
Only a sound of "Ouch" was heard, and the girl's soft and painful voice was heard.
Qiao Yiyi realized belatedly that she had stepped on someone's foot.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Qiao Yiyi quickly apologized to the person she stepped on, "I wasn't paying attention to the road."
The girl in front of me was very gentle and charming, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes full of smiles. She said in a voice that was so gentle that it touched my heart, "It's okay. It's my fault that I didn't get away in time."
"Why don't you always look at the road..."
Then came a pleasant and familiar male voice.
Qiao Yiyi shifted her gaze from the girl to the person in front of her. After seeing the person clearly, she exclaimed in surprise: "He Yao?"
"What's that expression on your face?"
He Yao saw that Qiao Yiyi looked like she had seen a ghost when she saw him. Her expression was even more exaggerated than the last time they met at the elevator door. He frowned unhappily again.
Qiao Yiyi quickly put away her expression that was a bit out of control due to excessive surprise, straightened her posture, smiled with curved eyes and said, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised."
She had just heard that He Yao had gone out on his own, and she thought He Yao was no longer in the company. She didn't expect to meet him again.
The girl seemed a little surprised: "Brother He Yao and Sister Yi Yi are very familiar with each other?"
“Not familiar.”
“Not familiar.”
After saying these two words at the same time, both of them were stunned.
Qiao Yiyi was frightened by He Yao's fans last time, so even though she was afraid that Tao Xiao A and her group would make a comeback, she was determined to stay away from He Yao. However, it seemed that Tao Xiao A's group did not make any moves afterwards...
Besides, she and He Yao were not familiar with each other. Apart from meeting a few times and him directing a play in her, they had no other interactions.
The word "not familiar" is just the truth.
But why did He Yao look at him as if he had done something wrong?
He Yao didn't know why he felt a little unhappy when he heard the woman in front of him say the word "unfamiliar".
Of course, it’s only a little bit, no more.
He attributed this to the last time he visited the set of "Phoenix Road" and saw her openly declaring online that he was not her type.
He had a smooth career, receiving countless praises and likes, but this was the first time he saw someone trying hard to distance themselves from him.
Didn’t she say she was his career fan?
Knowing all his preferences, and his super topic level is so high...
What's going on with these inconsistencies and contradictions?
Chi Wei noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little subtle.
She thought for a moment and smiled to break the deadlock: "It's okay, it's okay. We are all from the same company, and we will become familiar with each other after a while. Sister Yiyi, I am Chi Wei. I will be participating in the program with you soon. You must take good care of me, a newcomer, when the time comes."
Chi Wei?
Qiao Yiyi looked at her. Is this the green tea girl those two girls were talking about? She doesn't look like one.
However, although one cannot make a conclusion about someone based on first impressions or other people's comments, Qiao Yiyi still kept her in mind, especially since this girl was an artist brought in by the new director.
Qiao Yiyi evaded the question: "It's not like I'm being kind to you. I'm just a rookie."
The smile in Chi Wei's eyes froze for a moment. She didn't expect that Qiao Yiyi would not accept the challenge.
Isn't it said that she loves others to flatter her and bully the younger ones?
But she quickly recovered and smiled, "Sister Yiyi is too modest. Let's take care of each other! Call me on the day of departure, and we'll go together."
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
She suddenly understood the meaning of the word "binding".
It's really worrying.
Fortunately, the elevator quickly went down to the first floor, ending this extremely embarrassing encounter. Qiao Yiyi rushed out of the elevator immediately, said "I have something to do", and slipped away quickly.
He Yao: “…”
Chi Wei smiled and said, "Sister Yiyi is really impetuous."
Then he looked up at He Yao: "It's been so long since we last met, Brother He Yao is still so handsome."
He Yao: “???”
He showed a hint of doubt: "Have we met before?"
The smile on Chi Wei's face froze, and then she grabbed He Yao's hand and said angrily, "Brother He Yao, don't you remember? We filmed a movie together before, called "Eighteen Streets", in which I played your sister."
He Yao: "I don't remember."
He silently brushed away the girl's hand that was holding him, raised his foot and walked away. The moment he turned around, he took out a tissue from the chest pocket of his suit and wiped the place where the girl had just touched him.
Chi Wei: “…”
He is indeed still the same as before.
The recording time of "My Dream Town" soon arrived. The day before departure, Qiao Yiyi started packing her luggage early in the morning.
I have to bring more things this time because this variety show is special. It is not like the usual one-day or two-day recording of an episode where you can go home after the recording. Instead, thirty artists will be gathered on an island for a month to create their own town, and they cannot leave the island during this period.
In order to allow the audience to see their formation process more intuitively, this program adopts a full live broadcast mode and multi-perspective mode, that is, there are thirty artists, each of whom has a camera, and the audience can watch whoever they want.
This is to prevent everyone from complaining about not having enough footage and blaming the program crew for the messy editing.
Now all thirty people are exposed to the camera. If they want to stand out and be remembered and loved by the audience, it really depends on their own abilities.
What's even more cruel is that the thirty people will not be recorded from the beginning to the end, but some will be eliminated.
In other words, this is a documentary elimination variety show. As for the elimination mechanism, it will only be revealed during the recording.
"I'm afraid this isn't 'My Dream Town', it's 'My Nightmare Town'."
Qiao Yiyi complained as she packed her luggage.
