Chapter 103 A Sudden Turn of Events: A Thousand Gold Pieces Join the Alliance, Trouble Occurs Before the Competition
"Is it Wen Jinzhao?" she asked.
“That’s right, it’s her!” Xiao Lu nodded vigorously. “I was shocked when I saw her today! Sister Hong was shocked too. She just couldn’t understand why the eldest daughter of the Wen family would be so foolish as to come and work in our little studio. And wasn’t she studying abroad? How could she just come back like this!”
When Wen Jinzhao first appeared on "The Princess's Romance," her performance surprised everyone.
Xiao Lu chased after him the whole way, so she knew who Wen Jinzhao was.
I saw her among the job applicants today, but I'm still a little unsure if it's true.
"After confirming it was really her, I almost thought she wasn't here to work for the studio, but to acquire us."
Please, that's the eldest daughter of the Wen family!
Upon hearing this, Song Ying could already imagine the scene at that time.
But I still want to hear Little Deer's ramblings.
So he asked with a smile, "And the result?"
"In the end, Miss Wen only said eight words—'If you like it, you can be willful! If you have money, you can be willful!'"
"She said she liked you, and you also helped the Wen family a lot. Anyway, studying abroad is just about spending money to enhance one's image. She really didn't like it, and the Wen family's daughter doesn't need so much empty fame, so she dropped out of school."
"Then, when talking about her competitive advantages, she said directly, 'The Wen family is rich, so not to mention operations, she can handle everything from filming and editing to subsequent publicity and promotion.'"
“Other people come to apply for the job alone, but she brings an entire team with her, and she only asks for one person's salary. Sister Ying, tell me, who can refuse such a pie falling from the sky!”
"And she's also the president of your European fan club, so she's one of our own, which is why Sister Hong decided to take her on the spot."
"Now that I see it, it certainly didn't disappoint."
Song Ying had seen arrogant and willful heiresses like Xu Lanyan.
I've also seen people like Zhao Qingluo, who throws away skincare products like trash, treats money like dirt, yet is polite, cute, and otherworldly.
But this was the first time she had ever seen someone act so arrogantly, like Wen Jinzhao, who was rich and did whatever he wanted.
However, she dropped out of school and came to her studio...
After thinking for a moment, Song Ying called Wen Jinzhao.
The other party answered immediately.
"Sister Ying! Sister Ying! Oh my god, you actually called me! You didn't dial the wrong number, did you? You didn't dial the wrong number, did you?"
Song Ying chuckled, "I didn't dial the wrong number, I was looking for you. The video is well done, I just saw it, it's very good."
"Right, right!"
Wen Jinzhao's face was full of excitement at being praised, and it seemed as if a little tail was wagging behind him.
Song Ying spoke to her for a few more minutes, and then brought up the matter of dropping out of school.
According to her, Wen Jinzhao's studies should not be affected by the studio.
"Sister Ying, don't worry, I've already discussed this with my dad, and he's agreed—anyway, I'm not studying properly abroad, so I might as well come back and do something worthwhile."
"And you know what, the reason I came back this time was because of my brother. My dad was worried that he would continue to be obsessed with romance, so he asked me to come back so that I could keep an eye on him."
"By the way, when I called my dad at noon, I specifically mentioned Xu Lanyan and Jian Yunlan. My dad said he'd like to invite you to lunch when you have time. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask, don't be shy."
Wen Jinzhao actually has a little secret he hasn't told us yet.
Originally, Wen's father wanted her to join the company directly after she returned, to prevent his son from being spoiled and to allow his daughter to inherit the family business.
But when he heard that Jinzhao wanted to work with Song Ying, he agreed immediately, for some reason.
Wen Jinzhao himself had no idea that Song Ying's name had become so useful to his father.
"Please thank Mr. Wen for me, but I didn't do anything special. If I have the opportunity, I'll pay him a visit in person."
These were, of course, just polite words, but Song Ying was finally relieved about Wen Jinzhao's decision to drop out of school.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Did you have any experience with company affairs when you were with the Wen family before?"
Wen Jinzhao nodded. "Starting in high school, my dad taught my brother and me how to read accounts and plans. In the past, during winter and summer vacations, we would sometimes go to the company to help out."
The Wen family only has these two children. With such a large family business to be handed over, they definitely need to be trained very early.
Take Qin Shu, for example. When he was in elementary school, his grandfather taught him Go, history, and military strategy.
A person never suddenly becomes outstanding.
All excellence has been refined over time before it finally matures into something worthy of our experience.
"In that case, are you interested in pulling off a big heist?"
"What's so big?!"
"I'm planning to start my own entertainment company. If you're interested, I can handle the related aspects. There's only one requirement: quality and quantity must be guaranteed."
Song Ying didn't say much, only giving a brief overview.
Only after securing Qingcheng in writing can the final showdown take place.
Today, Qingcheng is plagued by disputes among its shareholders, as well as deep-seated problems among its long-time employees and actors.
Song Ying needs someone she can trust to replace those old fogies.
Moreover, Wen Jinzhao has connections unique to the Wen family, which will be a significant advantage.
"I'm perfectly fine with this! Sister Ying, whatever it is, as long as you think I can do it and trust me, just leave it to me!"
“Okay, after I finalize things on my end, we’ll go through a new contract.”
-
The next day, Saturday.
Tonight is the top ten selection competition for "All-Round Trainee".
Before eight o'clock in the morning, Song Ying arrived at the training room to help the trainees with their final day of training.
In addition, she also brought the master tapes of the official competition music and stage costumes.
The second and third color gradings were done in the afternoon before going on stage, and the results were very good.
Everyone immediately became highly motivated.
"I have a feeling that we'll be fine in this team competition!"
"It's not just the team competition, but also the individual competition. I just watched the stage performances of several other team members, and none of them were as eye-catching as ours."
"I really owe a lot to Teacher Song this time. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had the confidence to stand on the stage and compete with those people."
"Then shouldn't you treat Teacher Song to a meal to properly thank her?"
"I wouldn't dare invite him alone. Mr. Qin is definitely here today. It would be more appropriate if we all came together."
The scene of Qin Shu reprimanding Xu Zhe in the training room that day remains fresh in everyone's memory.
It's best not to be reckless and have an affair with a married woman.
It's more terrifying for Mr. Qin to be angry than to be photographed by paparazzi.
Everyone was making a ruckus and joking around, showing they were in great shape for the competition.
Even Jian Cheng, who is usually aloof, joined in the banter, which is quite unusual.
There was only one exception.
Xu Zhe.
He started to seem distracted in the afternoon.
There was a small mistake when making the three-color version.
However, because his position was slightly off-center, and Song Ying needed to go on stage to help in the team competition, while the others were focused on their own stage performances, no one noticed for a while.
After the three-color ceremony, it's time for dinner.
Thirty people, with individual and team stages, plus the host's introductions and judges' scores, the live broadcast of this qualifying round tonight is predicted to last between two and a half and three hours.
The team formation order is the same as the appearance order.
Therefore, Tan Mu's group, led by Wei Haiyuan, was in the first place, while Jian Cheng's group, led by Song Ying, was in the last place.
To prevent everyone from running out of energy at the end, after the show, everyone changed out of their costumes and went to the cafeteria together.
After the meal, there was only one hour left before the match started.
A large group of people returned to the training room, chatting as they walked.
"After changing my clothes and touching up my makeup, I can practice for a little longer."
However.
Back in the training room, Fu Gaoxuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly cried out in surprise.
"My clothes got slashed! Damn it!"
Upon hearing this, the others also hurriedly checked their own clothes.
"Damn it! My tuxedo sleeves are gone!"
"My pants have been fucking ripped open!"
"Mine too, the soles of my leather shoes just fell off!"
"Damn it, which bastard is so underhanded as to do this to us!"
"Surveillance footage! Check the surveillance footage!"
The crowd was making a racket.
The training room door was open.
There were quite a few people walking around outside at that moment, and upon hearing this, a large crowd of onlookers immediately gathered around.
"What's going on? Some people were saying during rehearsals that they were sure to win tonight, but how come such a big problem has occurred before the competition even starts? Could it be that they deliberately ruined their costumes to save face for their poor performance on stage? That's quite a tactic!"
Standing in front of the crowd, Tan Mu, with his hands in his pockets and chewing gum, finished speaking, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the people behind him.
Jian Cheng had been putting up with Tan Mu for a long time.
The moment the incident occurred, he thought of Tan Mu. Upon hearing the noise, he immediately grabbed Tan Mu by the collar and slammed him against the wall.
"Tan Mu, I advise you not to go too far!"
"I was just sighing a couple of times and sharing my guesses, how did that go too far?"
Looking at the delicate and alluring face before him, Tan Mu smiled, and his gaze toward Jian Cheng became increasingly unrestrained.
It seemed to carry a crazy energy.
This version of Teacher Jian makes people even more eager to meet her.
“Teacher Jian…” Tan Mu leaned closer to Jian Cheng and chuckled softly in his ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, “You can be a little angrier, I like to see it.”
"Tan Mu, you're asking for it!"
Jian Cheng was about to throw a punch when a force from behind suddenly pulled her back.
"Calm down, don't do anything."
Song Ying's calm and detached voice rang out.
He pulled the furious Jian Cheng to his side.
"Their group is going to go first. If you hit him now, how can he get on stage? What will the online comments say?"
Tan Mu actually hoped that Jian Cheng would punch him.
Most of the time, Jian Cheng ignored him and treated him like he was invisible.
He hadn't experienced in a long time the feeling of sitting together, drinking beverages, doing homework, and chatting with laughter.
Since the end of last year, when he almost succeeded in putting something in Ms. Jian's drink, their relationship has completely collapsed.
He knew that Jian Cheng hated him and loathed him.
It doesn't matter.
He doesn't mind.
It's much better than ignoring him and pretending not to know him.
Tan Mu straightened his collar, looked at Song Ying, and then at Jian Cheng.
"Jian Cheng, you'd better learn from your mentor. A wise person knows when to yield!"
Song Ying glanced at Tan Mu, then turned around and helped Jian Cheng straighten his clothes.
“Jian Cheng, did you hear that? Learn from me more often. Don’t scratch a dog that bites you with your hands, it’s dirty. So, the best thing to do is to kick it directly.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Ying kicked Tan Mu away, sending him crashing into the crowd of onlookers.
