Chapter 5 Chapter 5
Sun Hongfei tentatively asked Gu Xingchen, "What's your relationship with Mr. Wen? How did Mr. Wen's cufflinks end up with you?"
Gu Xingchen certainly couldn't say, "I just picked them up in the corridor outside."
He could only vaguely say, "Does it matter? Mr. Wen will understand when he sees them."
Sun Hongfei: "!!!"
That arrogant tone!
That unintentionally revealed pride!
If he wasn't involved with Mr. Wen, how dare he speak like that!
But Sun Hongfei didn't dare to be careless, and continued to probe, "What's your surname?"
"My surname is Gu." Gu Xingchen reacted and handed over his business card.
Sun Hongfei looked at the four words "Le Shi Entertainment" on the business card and found them somewhat familiar.
But after searching his mind, he couldn't remember which company it was.
He could only ask again, "May I ask which artists are in your company?"
This was embarrassing.
After all, the company only had two trainees who hadn't debuted yet.
Gu Xingchen thought for a moment before saying, "Our company used to have an artist named Yan Zhiheng."
Yan Zhiheng was very famous, so he could only use him to save face.
Sun Hongfei was startled and suddenly remembered an old secret.
Many people didn't know that Yan Zhiheng was actually Wen Yue's uncle.
Years ago, Yan Zhiheng rebelliously left home, and entered a small company under an assumed name, working his way up to his current position.
That small company seemed to be called Le Shi.
So everything made sense.
Maybe the two had known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts.
Sun Hongfei, thinking he had seen through the truth, felt relieved.
He even thought deeper.
"Boy Group Training Camp" was clearly jointly organized by them and Xingyao. Because the group would be managed by Xingyao after formation, most companies would choose to cooperate with Xingyao.
But Gu Xingchen unexpectedly approached them, wasn't this because of Xiaohua's incident yesterday and he was angry at them?
Although their several companies belonged to Wen's Group and were in the same building, they were also competitive.
Xingyao's performance has been excellent in recent years, firmly suppressing them.
If Xingyao hadn't been arrogant, they wouldn't have allowed Xiaohua to cause such trouble, which implicated them.
Sun Hongfei was worried that Mr. Wen would be unhappy about yesterday's incident, but with Gu Xingchen's relationship, his heart was relieved.
Thinking of this, Sun Hongfei became even more enthusiastic and quickly took the registration materials from Gu Xingchen's hand, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you!"
Gu Xingchen was worried that they would look down on their small company, but the leader's attitude was so good. 不愧是大公司出來的,素質就是高!(Truly worthy of coming from a large company, their quality is high!)
He was a little dizzy from Sun Hongfei's subtle flattery, but he didn't forget the main point, "I heard that after registration, there's an interview. When is the interview time?"
Sun Hongfei was stunned.
Didn't he mean to just get the person in? Why bother with an interview?
But he quickly reacted.
This was the young master's rebellious and stubborn desire to build his career and prove himself to his boyfriend!
This explained why he was so secretive about registering himself instead of just telling Mr. Wen.
If he hadn't been quick-witted, he would have offended someone!
Sun Hongfei immediately changed his words, "Yes, let's schedule the interview for tomorrow afternoon. Is that convenient for you?"
Gu Xingchen nodded.
After confirming the interview time, Gu Xingchen casually asked, "How many trainees are participating from Jinyou Entertainment this time?"
Jinyou Entertainment?
Sun Hongfei's heart tightened, "Why are you asking about Jinyou?"
Gu Xingchen: "Just curious. What? Can't you say?"
Sun Hongfei swallowed, trying to maintain his composure, "It's not that, it's just that the final list hasn't been confirmed yet, so I can't speak rashly."
"Oh." Gu Xingchen frowned and mumbled, "They have too many people..."
He remembered that last year, Jinyou Entertainment had four trainees in "Boy Group Training Camp". If they still had so many this year, it would be double the number of his company!
When watching the show, he felt that Jinyou's trainees were somewhat cliquey. If they had so many people, wouldn't they bully Cheng Xin and Meng Yuansheng on the show?
His mumbling reached Sun Hongfei's ears, making him startled.
The reason was that Jinyou Entertainment had two more trainee spots this time, a total of six.
But the list was only initially determined, outsiders didn't know, how did Gu Xingchen know?
He wanted to ask Gu Xingchen more questions, but the other party had already left the company.
At this time, Xiao Li came with the list, "Supervisor, I've sorted out all the small companies without any background from the list. Which companies should we replace?"
Sun Hongfei frowned, "Who told you to replace them?"
Xiao Li: "Ah?"
Sun Hongfei: "These small companies have worked hard to be selected this year. Replacing any of them will cause trouble. They are fearless, and if they make a big fuss online, it will be troublesome..."
Xiao Li: "Then... what do you mean?"
Sun Hongfei pulled over the list and tapped on one spot.
Xiao Li looked over and was surprised, "You mean, replace these two from Jinyou?! But Jinyou has already said hello, this..."
Sun Hongfei sneered, "That's with Xingyao, not us. Besides, this is also Mr. Gu's meaning!"
Xiao Li's eyes widened. He followed Sun Hongfei the whole time, but he didn't hear Gu Xingchen say that!
Sun Hongfei looked exasperated, "How can such things be said directly, it's of course implied! Do you understand implication?!"
Xiao Li: "..."
Sun Hongfei had to explain, "Look, there are so many companies, why didn't Mr. Gu ask other companies, but only mentioned Jinyou? He specifically said that there were too many people, he was hinting at us!"
Xiao Li hesitated, "I think Mr. Gu just casually asked. Are you overthinking it? If we get it wrong and Xingyao reports us to Mr. Wen, we'll be in trouble."
"Naive!" Sun Hongfei coldly snorted, "I ask you, the list was only confirmed the day before yesterday, besides us and Xingyao, only Mr. Wen has a copy. Where do you think Mr. Gu found out?"
Xiao Li quickly swore, "Supervisor, no one in our department leaked it!"
Sun Hongfei was almost driven mad by this unintelligent subordinate, "Of course I know."
Xiao Li was relieved and continued to think, "If not us, it's not Xingyao, could it be... could it be Mr. Wen?!"
"Humph! Not too stupid."
Sun Hongfei pointed out, "Mr. Wen even told people about such confidential company information. I don't need to say what kind of position this Mr. Gu holds in his heart. If Xingyao doesn't make a fuss, it's fine, but if they really make a fuss, I see who Mr. Wen will help!"
Xiao Li suddenly understood, "Supervisor, you're brilliant! No wonder you're the supervisor!"
Sun Hongfei comfortably put his legs up, "Good to know, in the future! Learn more from me!"

When Gu Xingchen returned to the company, Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin were practicing dancing.
In just one morning, they had already mastered the dance "firstXblood", and Meng Yuansheng was even discussing with Cheng Xin how to refine the choreography.
Gu Xingchen was very moved by the artists' hard work.
He could already see the two successfully debuting. After a year, he would sell the company and house, and achieve financial freedom!
When Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin saw him return, they quickly greeted him, "Mr. Gu, how was the registration?"
Gu Xingchen cheerfully said, "It's done! The interview is tomorrow afternoon!"
Meng Yuansheng: "!!!"
They actually got in!
And it seemed effortless!
As expected of Mr. Gu!!
Meng Yuansheng was filled with respect.
He was even more determined to perform well and never let Mr. Gu down!
Meanwhile, the boss of Jinyou Entertainment was furious.
"It was supposed to be six people, why are there only four left! How did you communicate?!"
Several people below were both upset and puzzled.
They were not directly responsible for "Boy Group Training Camp", and just like the boss, they only just found out about this, and they were inexplicably scolded.
At this time, Jiang Mo and his manager rushed over.
Jiang Mo had been trying to transition into management for years but hadn't succeeded.
Until this year, his contract was about to expire, he negotiated a renewal with the company, and finally got his wish.
Previously, he had worked hard to secure a heavyweight project like "Boy Group Training Camp", but he didn't expect such a mishap before the show even started.
Seeing him, several responsible people couldn't help but sarcastically say,
"Brother Mo is really busy, such a big problem happened under your charge, you're only coming now?"
"Brother Mo, we're behind the scenes, unlike stars, did you overlook details and offend Xingyao's Director Wu?"
"Our relationship with Xingyao has always been good, but this has never happened before!"
Jiang Mo was angry. He was a mentor for "Boy Group Training Camp", but to add those two spots, he had made many concessions.
But now he could only suppress his anger and say, "I just contacted Xingyao's Director Wu, she doesn't know either. She said it's likely Tiancheng Video's own decision, and she's already asked."
A person in charge laughed, "Brother Mo, you're too naive? Everyone knows Xingyao and Tiancheng are one family, how could such a blunder happen, aren't they just fooling you?"
At this time, Jiang Mo's phone rang, it was Xingyao's Director Wu. He quickly went aside to answer, but his face became even more gloomy.
After hanging up, he said to everyone, "Xingyao said that Tiancheng added two new trainees, replacing our two."
Jinyou's boss frowned, "Adding people at this time? Which company has such a big face? Guangyi? Luming? Or Xingxing Century?"
Jinyou's boss mentioned several well-known companies.
Jiang Mo paused before saying, "It seems to be called Le Shi..."
"Le Shi?" Jinyou's boss was momentarily stunned, he couldn't find any information about this company in his memory, so he simply gave up and impatiently said to Jiang Mo, "Forget it, whoever it is, find a way to solve this. If you can't, get back to being an artist and don't dream of entering management!"
Jiang Mo's face burned, but he didn't dare to refute.
He used renewal as a condition to enter management, which already displeased the boss, and he wanted to use "Boy Group Training Camp" to secure his position, but now that something went wrong, he had no bargaining chips, and could only meekly say, "Don't worry, I'll definitely solve it."
Jinyou's boss left the meeting room angrily.
After they left, Jiang Mo put away his smile, his face became extremely ugly.
He remembered what Xingyao's Director Wu said on the phone: "Forget about the spots, who told you to offend someone you shouldn't have..."
But Jiang Mo couldn't think of who he offended.
At this time, his manager rushed in, "Jiang Mo, the album has a problem!"
Jiang Mo recently couldn't focus because of "Boy Group Training Camp", so the album production was naturally neglected. He didn't expect that in just a few days, the new assistant caused trouble.
Jiang Mo was flustered and thought of Meng Yuansheng. When he was around, he handled these trivial matters properly and never needed to worry.
He took out his phone and sent another message to Meng Yuansheng, but as before, there was still no reply.
Jiang Mo was instantly furious.
He only played around with people, and even apologized humbly, but he actually left!
When he comes back, he must teach him a lesson!
