Chapter 35 Interview
For a moment, both Brother Ye and Xu Wen felt somewhat awkward.
Just then, with a series of hurried footsteps, Zhang Mo pushed open the door and walked in, one hand on her chest and the other on the door, her breath coming in short gasps: "Sorry, I'm late..." Her voice trailed off as she saw Han Xiao.
Behind her followed Xiao Tao and Yu Hui, one looking completely bewildered, the other looking relaxed.
Originally, she only drove there to pick up Xiao Tao and Xu Wen to meet.
Yu Hui and Xiao Tao shared a two-bedroom apartment. Originally, it wasn't his business, but Master Yu insisted on coming along, dawdling for a long time, which caused Zhang Mo to be late.
She didn't quite understand why a former top female celebrity would suddenly appear in her small, shabby office. Zhang Mo subconsciously looked at Brother Ye with suspicion, as if to say, "Did you bring her here?"
Brother Ye gently shook his head.
Zhang Mo then looked at Xu Wen.
Xu Wenai shrugged helplessly.
"Is this Mr. Zhang? I'm Han Xiao, and I'm here for a job." Han Xiao stood up. She wasn't tall, but she had a strong presence. "However, I didn't bring my resume. You'll have to Google it yourself."
"?" Even with Zhang Mo's high IQ, he couldn't figure out the logical relationship here.
Yu Hui peeked out from behind her and said, "Hire her. She looks like she's destined to make money. Besides, she's a good person."
After these words, everyone in the room fell silent for a few seconds. After all, in the public's perception, this woman seemed to be completely unrelated to the word "good person".
Han Xiao suddenly burst into laughter twice, her laughter filled with self-deprecation: "It's been a long time since I've heard anyone say that about me."
Zhang Mo actually knew what she should do. First, she should introduce Xiao Tao to Xu Wen and make simple arrangements for their live-streaming work for the time being. Then, she should talk to Brother Ye about the payment, and ideally, obtain some established business resources from him.
But as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
The cat doesn't want to work right now; it just wants to eat melon seeds.
She sat down next to Xu Wen, gestured to the two people beside her to calm down, and then looked at Han Xiao: "To sum it up in one sentence, why did you choose our company?"
“I’m practically blacklisted by the entertainment industry now. I only have a junior high school education, and I can’t do anything besides singing. The owners of other live streaming platforms are either bribed by my ex-husband or they want to sleep with me. Only you guys are probably too young and have slipped through the net.” As she spoke, she looked Zhang Mo up and down again. “And judging from Mr. Zhang’s appearance, he probably wouldn’t force me to sleep with you, would he?”
Everyone: "......"
Zhang Mo: "Is there anything else?"
Han Xiao's bright eyes sparkled with something that could perhaps be called sincerity: "I am a singer, I just hope to have a platform for everyone to hear my singing."
Zhang Mo's gaze was sharp as a knife: "Tell the truth."
Han Xiao said without hesitation: "Besides singing, I'll also expose the fact that my ex-husband cheated on me with a hermaphrodite on the third day of our marriage, and that he can only last three seconds without medication."
Everyone: "......"
The most shocking stories are always told in the simplest language.
Han Xiao's ex-husband, Ouyang Yuanzhong, is the second son of the owner of one of the largest entertainment companies in China. This company integrates film and television production, artist management, artist training, digital distribution, and media promotion, and enjoys widespread influence, abundant artist resources, a comprehensive business scope, and a high industry standing within the entertainment industry.
—The above are the search results for Zhang Mo. In short, she's a figure who wields absolute power in the Chinese entertainment industry. If such a sensational sex scandal were to break, it would certainly cause a huge stir.
The silence in the conference room was deafening.
Only Xiao Tao stared blankly at Yu Hui, seemingly asking what the lady had meant.
Master Yu's pupils constricted in fury: "You filthy humans! What are you saying in front of a child!"
That's right. As a Taotie that's only 66 years old, Xiao Tao is still a child.
Zhang Mo looked at him coldly: "You're still living with the child, what did I say?"
Yu Hui: "......"
Xiao Tao was quite concerned about what Zhang Mo said, and asked softly, "Sister, what is cohabitation? Can you eat it?"
Brother Ye remained silent: "..." Mr. Zhang's company is truly a mixed bag.
Xu Wen awkwardly chatted: "...Hehe, this must be Xiao Tao, right? Hehe, she's definitely suited to be a mukbang streamer."
Han Xiao asked in confusion, "Does your company hire child laborers?"
Zhang Mo tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "Come on, Xu Wen, find a nice restaurant and take Master Yu and Xiao Tao out for dinner. While you're at it, talk to President Ye about the payment he owes me for helping him before." She looked at Brother Ye, "Anyway, President Ye can decide how much to pay, is that alright?"
Brother Ye laughed: "Of course, but I have one request: when dining with Master Yu, please make sure I pay the bill."
Zhang Mo waved her hand, "I don't care about that." Then she turned to Xiao Tao and said in a soft voice, "Starting today, this older sister will be in charge of your lunch, and you can temporarily go to Haiyan for dinner. This older sister is a very nice person, just listen to her."
Xiao Tao nodded obediently.
Xu Wenren was dumbfounded. On his first day of work, he was supposed to discuss compensation with the other party's boss without any documentation? Was this job being taken far too casually? And why did it sound like Zhang was prioritizing taking the young woman out to dinner over discussing business with Ye? What kind of logic was that?
Xu Wen was still in a daze when Yu Hui started impatiently stomping his feet and urging him on: "Hurry up, hurry up, our Xiao Tao hasn't eaten anything for almost half an hour."
If it weren't for the fact that these humans were taking Xiao Tao to eat, he wouldn't want anyone else near Xiao Tao.
Xu Wen left with the three of them, his expression convoluted. Only Zhang Mo and Han Xiao remained in the conference room.
Zhang Mo moved to a position facing Han Xiao: "Shall we have a formal interview then?"
Han Xiao: "Whatever you say."
"But give me two minutes first, I need to look at your resume online." Her fingers flew across her phone, and without looking up, she casually ordered, "Assistant Jiang, could you please bring two cups of hot tea?"
Zhang Mo had a premonition that this would be a very long interview.
Jiang Mian poked his head, covered in white hair, out from the doorway, moving slowly and cautiously: "If there's no tea, is hot water alright?" As far as he knew, the fragile human race seemed unable to drink tap water directly in winter.
Zhang Mo: "...Okay."
"Oh, wait ten minutes, I'll go find where I put the kettle." Jiang Mian said, then slowly went to rummage through the drawers and cabinets with her aged steps.
Zhang Mo: "......"
Han Xiao looked at Zhang Mo with a complicated expression: "...President Zhang, did you specifically hire a retired old man to act in order to lower my share of the profits? There's really no need for that."
Zhang Mo was speechless, finding it difficult to explain what "historic employees" meant, so she could only change the subject: "Let's order milk tea, I'll reimburse you."
