Chapter 17 Ling Xiao, Xue Bingbing



Shi Xirou said that she came to Hengdian to recruit people for no reason. She had prepared several contracts before coming, but she didn't know if she would be lucky enough to sign the future TV King.

After sending Anjiu to the interview, Shi Xirou and Anke went to the Actors Guild of Hengdian Film and Television City. There happened to be an exam for special actors today.

In Hengdian, there are not only extras. Extras who want to increase their income can go to the guild to take the exam for prospects or special actors. There is only one chance to take the exam for prospects. Actors need to be slim and good-looking. They can earn 220 yuan a day if they get a role. Special actors are commonly known as extras. Their income is higher than prospects. Special actors in groups 2 and 3 can earn thousands a day.

Shi Xirou's "Eye of Perception" had not yet lost its effect. At a glance, she saw almost nothing but white clouds.

When she met someone with a golden glow, Shi Xirou would approach them with a recruitment notice and ask if they were willing to come to the company for an interview.

After seeing the company's benefits and discovering the real existence of "Fire Phoenix Entertainment", those potential benefactors said they would go for an interview when they were free.

"Okay, I know you're a bit tight financially, but don't worry, if you decide to come for the interview, our company will reimburse your travel expenses. Let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send you some company photos."

"You're not a scam company, are you?"

Shi Xirou said seriously, "It's really not! You can look it up on Sky Eye. Although the company is just starting out, it's legal and compliant."

In this way, Shi Xirou established contact with seven or eight promising young people with the potential to become capitalists.

"Mr. Xiao, are you looking for someone?" An Jiu discovered that Shi Xirou was not casting a wide net. She seemed to have her own set of recruitment criteria, and appearance was not the criterion.

"Um."

Shi Xirou and An Jiu strolled around the small town and came to a place where free vegetarian meals were given to extras. There were a few flashes of golden light, and the person she wanted to sign was indeed here.

Ling Xiao, the future TV King who lived in an unfinished building in Hengdian in his early years and had to go to the temple to eat vegetarian meals when he couldn't afford to eat, is now squatting by the door eating steamed buns with a large bowl in his hands.

Ling Xiao also saw two dazzling girls not far away. He didn't think they were looking for him and just ate his lunch.

Shi Xirou waited until he was almost done eating, then walked towards him, holding the business card. "Hello, are you interested in learning more about Fire Phoenix Entertainment?"

"Me?" Ling Xiao pointed at himself.

"Um."

Shi Xirou squatted down, her bright fox eyes fixed on Ling Xiao, "I think you have great potential to become a star, and I sincerely invite you to become an artist in our company."

After hearing this, a thought came to Ling Xiao's mind: Did he encounter a pyramid scheme organization?

"Miss, I really have no money."

"I know. I didn't mean to cheat you out of your money, nor did I mean to take your kidney." Shi Xirou knew what he was thinking the moment she heard it. Many people thought she was a scammer today. She took out her phone and sent a video to Zhang Yiwei. "I'm video chatting with someone from our company right now. Let me introduce you to Fire Phoenix Entertainment."

Ling Xiao didn't move, but his eyes moved to Shi Xirou's screen.

"Little Director."

"Brother Zhang, are you in the company?"

"No, I'm helping Li Jingyi with her luggage."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can get busy now."

Shi Xirou hung up the phone and contacted Ye Qiqi instead. While waiting for the call to be connected, she explained to Ling Xiao, "It was our company's driver just now. He was helping a colleague bring his luggage back to the company dormitory."

"Boss, good afternoon!" Ye Qiqi's voice was particularly loud. Oh my God, she really didn't slack off. She just went to pour water for the person she was going to interview.

"Qiqi, are you busy now?"

"Not busy, boss, you say."

"Hold up your phone and show us the company."

Ye Qiqi noticed Ling Xiao and immediately understood her boss's intentions. She nodded quickly, "Okay."

Shi Xirou tilted her head to look at Ling Xiao, "This company is mine, don't worry, I'm not a liar."

Ling Xiao remained silent, his eyes never leaving the screen. The girl named "Qiqi" ran out of the hall first. He saw a building, and then he saw an underground swimming pool, a gym, an office area, a restaurant, and dormitories...

"Do you believe me now?"

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow and expressed his doubts: "Why me?"

"Because I believe in my sixth sense, you will definitely be famous in the future." Shi Xirou winked mischievously and handed him the artist contract, "You can take a look at the terms."

While Ling Xiao was studying the contract, An Jiu called, and soon he and Bai Yang appeared together.

"Sister, Xiaoshi sister, I passed the interview! I'm signing the contract this afternoon and I'm going to be filming a movie!"

Shi Xirou said happily: "Wow, Xiaojiu is really amazing!"

Enke's attitude was much colder, "It's just that you passed the audition, don't be proud, just perform well."

After learning that An Jiu had auditioned for director Dou Changwei's new play, Ling Xiao decisively signed the contract.

Shi Xirou felt depressed: I feel that my charm is not as good as Director Dou’s, wuwuwu.

There was still more than an hour until three o'clock, and the group decided to go to the restaurant for dinner first. Ling Xiao said that he had already eaten, so he went back to bring his luggage.

Bai Yang: "Let's go together later. I'll drive, it's more convenient."

"No, I don't have much luggage and the place is not far away."

In fact, Ling Xiao didn't want them to know that he lived in an unfinished building with drafts on all sides, and that he had to walk on a muddy road and climb over a wall to go back to his "home" to sleep.

Shi Xirou knew the inside story and didn't embarrass him. "Then you go back first. We'll wait for you here."

Shi Xirou and the others had just finished their meal when Ling Xiao came over carrying a large backpack with sweat on his face.

Shi Xirou handed him a bottle of iced cola and said, "Here, isn't it hot? Let's go back to the car."

"Thanks."

Ling Xiao ran back and forth. He didn't have much stuff. After quickly packing up the important items, he came out of the unfinished building.

The moment he left the unfinished building, he felt his heart beating very fast and he ran faster and faster, as if he saw his new life full of hope and did not feel tired at all.

Anjiu's contract signing went smoothly. The crew will hold a start-up ceremony on June 25th. At that time, Anjiu will have to live in Hengdian for a while.

Before returning to Songcheng, Shi Xirou received a call and asked Bai Yang to turn around and pick someone up.

Xue Bingbing got into the car with red eyes. Shi Xirou didn't ask her what happened, but handed her a tissue and said, "We are going back to the company now. If you are scared, you can turn on the navigation."

An Jiu was completely baffled and asked, "Will I not be scared if I turn on the navigation?"

"Well, if you turn on the navigation, you'll see we're not driving to northern Myanmar."

An Jiu asked, "Where is northern Myanmar?"

Shi Xirou sighed and replied, "It's a place where you can't return home, and where you spend every day trying to defraud your compatriots of their wealth. There's also the risk of having your kidneys and heart removed."

Ling Xiao smiled silently, and Xue Bingbing also curled the corners of her mouth.
