7 Chapter 7
Queen
Inside the luxurious mansion, Hu Fei was lying in the spacious bedroom bathtub, taking an essential oil bath, his face full of relaxation and satisfaction.
Just as I was about to take a sip of red wine, the ringing of my cell phone interrupted the atmosphere.
"Hello?"
Although it was an unfamiliar number, Hu Fei still answered it because it was a private number that few people could obtain.
But after hearing what the other party said, she showed a disdainful smile on her face, but her tone was gentle and touching.
"Is there such a thing? It would be great if Sister Cheng has a good seedling she wants to cultivate. That way I can rest assured."
I don't know what was said on the other side. Hu Fei's eyes flashed with impatience. He said in a gentle voice: "This is Sister Cheng's personal matter. I can't interfere. I'm really sorry."
After hanging up the phone, she thought of Zhang Li mentioned by the man just now. The comfort in her expression completely disappeared, and she searched Zhang Li's name on her mobile phone with an expressionless face.
But the entry that popped up made her expression meaningful.
"After I leave, will I only be able to find someone like this?..."
-
When she asked Hu Fei to be Cheng Yu's lobbyist and was rejected again, Wei Jie frowned deeply.
After being hung up, she stared at the number note with even greater indignation, as if she could see the hypocritical face on the other end through the phone. "What are you so arrogant about! Do you really think that marrying into a wealthy family will bring you good things?"
After complaining, she wanted to delete the number, but for some reason, she paused and kept it.
After discovering that all the breakthrough points were blocked, Wei Jie had no choice but to report to Pei Yuanzhi.
Pei Yuanzhi had just finished a phone call with Liu Qingran and was in a good mood. When he learned that Zhang Li had recommended herself to Cheng Yu and Cheng Yu had no intention of giving up on her, he just frowned and said nothing more. He only told Wei Jie to keep an eye on Zhang Li and Cheng Yu.
-
Zhang Li's situation seemed to improve all of a sudden.
The signing of the contract with Cheng Yu seemed to have broken the barrier of Pei Yuanzhi's one-man rule. Cheng Yu's agency Lingman Entertainment was almost built up by her alone. After the support of several top-tier artists, it is now considered to be among the top-tier. Cheng Yu also owns a part of the company's shares and has a considerable say.
When ordinary netizens saw this, they couldn't help but sigh that her luck had turned.
Only Pei Yuanzhi's fans are still chasing and biting him madly.
Zhang Li still kept the setting on Weibo that only fans could leave comments. He watched Pei fans go crazy in his comment section every day. After seeing the excitement a few times, he no longer cared about it.
And now, it is time for her to officially start her counterattack in the entertainment industry.
As an artist preparing to become a top-tier artist, in addition to an agent, an excellent team is also essential.
Under Cheng Yu's operation, the company gathered the newly recruited assistants together for training.
During a break in the middle of the training, Zhang Li made a high-profile appearance.
The training room, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet.
Although no one spoke, it could be seen from their eyes that they all knew her.
But Zhang Li didn't say anything. He walked around, glanced at several assistant reserves, and left.
As soon as she left, everyone went into an uproar.
"Oh my god, that's Zhang Li, right?"
"Yes, I've seen her drama before, there's no mistaking this face..."
"Xiaotian, Zhang Li seemed to be looking at you just now. I saw on the trending searches that she just signed a contract with Sister Cheng Yu. Could she be here to pick an assistant?"
"Ah? I don't want to..." Oda, who was mentioned, blurted out subconsciously, but he was halfway through his words when he realized the surrounding environment and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.
There were many people who had the same reaction as her, and the expressions of the female assistants who were specially "observed" by Zhang Li were not particularly good.
In previous news, although Zhang Li was a little famous, she was full of negative news. There were even many rumors that she was very harsh and stingy to her team, and often played tricks and made a fuss out of nothing.
They are about to become assistants and are particularly prone to empathy. Faced with the possibility that such a person may become their boss, their first reaction is of course to refuse.
On the contrary, the male assistants felt relieved but also a little disappointed.
Although Zhang Li has many negative news, her appearance is really amazing! She is no worse than she is in front of the camera!
It would be nice if he wasn't a troublemaker.
Everyone was shocked by Zhang Li's sudden arrival for a long time until the company's training teacher came back and everyone stopped talking.
Little did people know that Lingman Entertainment was different from other companies and was particularly cautious in selecting assistants, so many hidden cameras were placed at various angles throughout the training room.
Their reactions were all seen by Cheng Yu who was observing the screen behind the scenes.
She even had the staff record it on screen.
When Zhang Li came back, she opened the screen recording and showed it to Zhang Li.
"This, this, this... These ones are no good. Although they haven't completed their training, they're too talkative. I'm not sure if they can be controlled in the future. And there are these two. They haven't said anything, but their body language doesn't tell lies. They're clearly scheming."
"This one, and this one, they look quite calm, but I actually like them the most..."
Before Cheng Yu could finish her words, Zhang Li seemed to know what she was thinking and pointed at a certain position on the screen with her slender white fingers.
The girl in the picture looked ordinary, but she was the only one who did not speak after Zhang Li left.
But from the flashback video, she was the first person to notice Zhang Li's arrival, and then she kept her eyes on Zhang Li.
Her eyes held no personal emotion, but rather a deeper consideration.
After taking in Zhang Li's entirety, her expression became focused. Especially when everyone else behind her was evasive, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Sure enough, in the evening, Cheng Yu called her on video and told her that the girl had recommended herself to be her assistant.
"Her name is Bai Wen, she's 22 years old and just graduated from university."
"I've also re-examined her. This girl has a great personality. She's strong when she needs to be, and soft when she needs to be. She's cautious, and has high emotional and intellectual intelligence. I asked her why she chose this assistant position, and she answered truthfully. Her family went bankrupt, and she was after the position of agent. She offered to work as your assistant... but the bigger reason was me. She wanted to learn some skills from me."
Hearing this, Zhang Li was not angry at all, but instead showed an admiring look.
“That’s quite an idea.”
Seeing that Zhang Li seemed to like her very much, Cheng Yu decided on this matter in her mind.
"In the early stages, let Bai Wen stay with you. I'm here anyway, and I also have two people under my command who were originally with Hu Fei. Now Hu Fei is about to retire. I'll leave them to you when the time comes. One man and one woman, just right, to give you an extra layer of security."
"Okay." Zhang Li had no objection to this arrangement.
"There's also a makeup artist and stylist... I should have arranged that for you, but the team's salaries are paid by the artists themselves. You don't have much work right now, and you don't get paid much, so it's a bit early. But I'm already looking for someone within the industry for you, and I can poach them if necessary. What kind of person would you like?"
"What kind?" Zhang Li lowered his eyes, thinking of the excitement he had seen in his previous life, and suddenly curled his lips into a smile.
"It must make me stand out, dazzling, and radiant. It must be impactful, making everyone else pale in comparison..."
Cheng Yu was a little surprised to hear such ambitious words, but he quickly reacted and nodded.
"OK……"
-
When Bai Wen received the news from Cheng Yu that she had successfully become Zhang Li's assistant, her expression finally relaxed.
After a moment, she remembered something, a smile appeared on her face, and she used her mobile phone to make a video call to her best friend who she had been with since childhood.
After she told the other party the news, the voice on the other end was so loud that it almost exploded her microphone, and her face was a mixture of ecstasy and shock.
"What?! You were chosen as Lili's assistant?! Are you kidding me, Wenbao?! Is that Zhang Li, my idol?!"
"If it's her, then it's her. If it was anyone else, would I call you to lie to you?"
"Oh my God!!" Xu Fei was practically dancing on the spot, as happy as if she was the one who became the idol's assistant.
As soon as her excitement subsided a little, she immediately started asking questions one after another.
"How's it going? Is my Lili as stunning as I said? She's signed a contract with Cheng Yu now. Is her situation any better? Is she feeling okay? Has the issue of Pei Yuanzhi's ban been resolved?..."
Bai Wen almost felt dizzy after hearing her long string of questions.
However, Xu Fei was used to getting excited when something happy happened, so she quickly returned to normal and began to answer her bestie's questions one by one.
"Beautiful, indeed! As for the situation, I haven't officially reported there yet, so I don't know yet..."
But she always felt that the current Zhang Li seemed different from what her best friend had described to her before...
Her bestie described Zhang Li as Cinderella, but in reality, she was more like a queen...
