Chapter 43 The 43rd Melon Perhaps it was the agent who came by fate...

There were five agents in total, all of whom had worked in the company for a long time. They were all very experienced and knew what such a large-scale battle represented.

Mr. Gu has made such a big splash, he must be very optimistic about Shen Que, and he will certainly be willing to invest a lot of resources in him in the future. Being Shen Que's agent is undoubtedly like grabbing a cash cow.

The agents went in one by one and came out with smiles on their faces. They were all very confident that they could win over Shen Que, except for one person who was still a little nervous.

Zhao Wen had just arrived at Huihuang Films and had only trained one newcomer. Just when she was getting a little successful, the newcomer married a wealthy man and retired from the entertainment industry, catching Zhao Wen off guard. Recently, she has been thinking about finding a newcomer.

When she came, she didn't think much about it, and really just thought of herself as an ordinary newcomer. But when she saw so many people there, she realized that the problem was not that simple. She wanted to back out, but finally she mustered up the courage to go in. Since she was already here, she had to see what kind of person the other person was.

Walking into the office, Zhao Wen's eyes were immediately attracted by Shen Que. Shen Que was sitting there with a plain face, looking very clean. There was no expression on his face. He should have the image of a friendly younger brother, but because of his overly handsome face, he created a sense of distance.

She is the type that everyone in school likes but no one dares to approach easily.

Shen Que is tall, with delicate features and a perfect head-to-shoulder ratio, which makes him a very suitable appearance for the big screen. Zhao Wen has never followed Shen Que, but she has watched his videos many times. Although the performance is only one minute long, she can't help but watch it again every time she sees it. She has lost count of how many times she has watched it.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Wen. I'm still a newcomer in the brokerage industry, so I can't promise you anything. If you choose me, I can only promise to do my best to do everything well and strive for the best resources within my ability for you. Although it may depend more on your appearance, your hard work and your luck."

Zhao Wen gave a brief self-introduction. There was really not much to say about her resume, so she could only give a perfunctory introduction to go through the motions.

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, Shen Que raised his head and looked at her seriously.

Zhao Wen had a round face and didn't look aggressive. She gave people a soft and comfortable feeling. After she finished speaking, she sat there quietly waiting for Shen Que to speak. She was not like others who used resources and various benefits to tempt Shen Que to choose them, either overtly or covertly.

"So, you can't make any promises to me. In this respect, you have no advantage."

Shen Que spoke, his tone was just as gentle, and even seemed to be smiling. Gu Ze, who had been sitting aside watching the show, glanced at him, then turned to look at the ordinary Zhao Wen, and seemed a little confused.

"You can say that, but in my opinion, what you can get on your own will only be better than what we already have. I don't have much experience, so there won't be a fixed routine to train newcomers here. We can work together and find the most suitable way. Of course, what I said is very idealistic. If you choose me, I may delay you because of my mediocrity."

Zhao Wen nodded, very frankly. In fact, she was not completely without resources, but she felt that those resources were not worthy of Shen Que. She searched Shen Que's name again before coming in. However, within a few months, after playing a minor role, she relied on herself to get the role of the male lead. It was a work written by Lu, who was a famous actor in the circle. When the drama was broadcast, Shen Que's status would be close to that of the second-tier. And all this was just the result of his own reckless behavior.

"There is another agent. I will be able to give you an answer after we finish talking."

Shen Que nodded, stood up and shook hands with Zhao Wen.

After Zhao Wen left, Gu Ze, who had been silent all the time, turned around and looked at Shen Que.

"You think Zhao Wen is a good choice? To be honest, I don't agree with your choice of her. She is just a rookie who has just entered the industry."

Shen Que's attitude was very obvious. He seemed to particularly admire Zhao Wen, although Gu Ze didn't know what was so attractive about her empty words.

"What she said is very similar to what my friend said. When I decided to enter the industry, he told me that my looks, hard work, talent and good luck would be enough. I heard similar words today, and I think it might be fate. My friend told me that brokers are the people who stay with you the longest in your career, so you must choose them carefully. I think it is very difficult for people to have some fateful connection. Besides, I am also a rookie, I don't need a too strong person to control me. Zhao Wen is just right. At least we are comfortable with each other and I can express my own opinions."

Shen Que chuckled, and his smile deepened as he recalled Xu Qingye's expression when he spoke.

Rely on yourself, you have to rely on yourself!

"It's up to you. You're more resourceful than I thought. I thought you were easy to control."

Gu Ze curled his lips. When he first looked at Shen Que's profile, he thought that he was a fresh graduate from college with no acting experience, a complete blank slate. He thought that he was the kind of newcomer who was eager to dive into the industry with dreams in his heart. However, it turned out that Shen Que's personality was much more mature than his age. He had his own opinions and plans for everything.

He doesn't understand the entertainment industry, but he knows how to make himself comfortable.

While they were chatting, Xiao Yang pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Shen Cheng, he immediately smiled.

"Why didn't Xiao Shen come to me directly when he came to Huihuang Film and Television? Didn't I give you my business card a long time ago? Could it be that Xiao Ye didn't allow you to contact me? There is no conflict between him and me, so you don't have to worry."

Xiao Yang played the emotional card right from the start, but unfortunately Shen Que didn't seem to buy it.

"I lost my business card, so I didn't contact him specifically. He never interfered with me, and it was he who fully recommended me to choose Brilliant Films. As for the agent, since it will be a long-term cooperation, I want to be more cautious, and I am especially grateful that Gu always meets my small request."

Shen Que's words were flawless. Xiao Yang smiled dryly and didn't dare to mention Xu Qingye again. She looked at Shen Que. It had been half a year since they last met, but Shen Que had changed a lot. The change was not in his appearance, but his whole temperament had changed from a student to a star.

What Xiao Yang could talk about, of course, was his resume and connections. Unfortunately, Shen Que had already heard a lot of these today. The agents at Huihuang Film and Television seemed to have produced many best actor and best actresses, as if it was standard.

After saying this, Shen Que didn't show anything special. Xiao Yang felt a little uneasy, as he didn't know who he had lost to.

Several agents were still waiting outside the conference room. Soon, Zhao Wen was called in again. The meaning was already very obvious.

Zhao Wen was called in, and the expressions of the other people looked a little strange.

"This is the intern who just got a full-time job, right? Who did he supervise?"

"That guy won a new artist award and then got married and retired from the entertainment industry. It's a pity."

"Let's go. It looks like there's no chance. Shen Que probably saw that Zhao Wen has no one else under him, so he can lead him wholeheartedly."

Someone spoke up to save their face. They were also surprised that Shen Que would choose the newcomer Zhao Wen. However, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the circle. People in this circle cared about rather peculiar things. Maybe Shen Que just liked Zhao Wen particularly.

In the office, Zhao Wen was a little surprised to know that Shen Que chose her. What she said today was completely rubbish, so she just said it casually.

"Are you really choosing me? Can I know the reason?"

Zhao Wen was still a little uncertain. She couldn't help but look at Shen Que. All choices had reasons, and she was curious about why she was chosen.

"What you said is very similar to what my friend said. Maybe we are destined to be on the same path."

Shen Que didn't say much, and Zhao Wen also tacitly didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, you'll have plenty of opportunities to chat in the future. Go ahead and arrange the dormitories, the babysitting car, and so on. After you're settled, we'll have a meeting to look at the follow-up plans. Zhao Wen, you should pay more attention to Shen Que and don't let him down for his trust in you."

Gu Ze looked at the time and had a social engagement in the evening, so he patted Shen Que on the shoulder and left. Shen Que and Zhao Wen sat face to face, but Zhao Wen was not overwhelmed by joy.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhao Wen. Please take care of me in the future. In order to have a long-term and stable cooperation, can we talk it over first? If there are any problems in the future, we can make corresponding records in time."

"Do you want to ask me about my dark history, my love history, and all the possible reasons that may have led to my downfall?"

Shen Que repeated what he had said to Xu Qingye before, but this time he added one more sentence.

"I like men. Although I don't think this is a red herring, I'm still telling you about it."

Zhao Wen was taking notes with her head down. When she heard Shen Que's words, she looked up at him, with no special expression on her face.

"Well, I'll pay attention to that. Can I ask about your relationship status? It's not that I don't allow artists to fall in love. If they are in a relationship, the subsequent promotional direction may have to avoid CP hype. I need to confirm this with you."

"I'm not in a relationship right now, but I don't like hyping up couples, so I don't need to prepare such promotional plans."

Shen Que shook his head as he thought about Xu Qingye's heartless look, wondering when he would come to his senses.

"I see. I understand. If you have any questions in the future, please let me know. I will definitely try my best to cooperate with you."

Zhao Wen packed her things. Shen Que seemed to have thought of something. He added Zhao Wen on WeChat and sent her some information.

"This information knows me better than I know myself. Just take a quick look at it."

Shen Que forwarded the information that Xu Qingye had previously sorted out for Fang Xiaoqi to Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen clicked on it and took a look. The information was very detailed, recording every aspect of Shen Que. From the densely packed text, one could tell how much care this person put into sorting it out.

"This doesn't look like something that was compiled by an assistant. Someone who can write down everything about you in such detail must have a very close relationship with you."

"Family, partners, fellow travelers, it's quite complicated anyway."

Shen Que smiled self-deprecatingly. Xu Qingye had defined all kinds of strange relationships for them, but ultimately it was not what he desired.

Zhao Wen looked at Shen Que and understood the hidden meaning in his words. This person was very important to him, and perhaps he was the one he liked.

Huihuang Entertainment will provide dormitories for artists, which will vary depending on their status. Shen Que is a newcomer, and the company arranged a single apartment for him. The location is good because the surrounding communities are basically all inhabited by artists, so the security is very strict, and the company can be notified immediately if something happens.

"Where are you living now? I'll help you pack your things."

Zhao Wen followed the procedures to get the keys and contacted the nanny car and the driver. It would take some time for the supporting staff to start work.

"I live with my friend in Chaori Community. I actually have an apartment in City A, but I haven't lived there for a long time."

Shen Que reported two addresses. Zhao Wen had a complicated expression. Both the house in Chaori Community and the other one were much better than the one arranged by the company.

"Just move to my own home and say it's a dormitory arranged by the company."

Shen Que thought about it and thought that maybe he and Xu Qingye acted too close to each other, and if he kept a little distance between them, maybe he would have different ideas.

Zhao Wen nodded, ignored his various complicated thoughts, and directly contacted the driver to go to Chaori Community first.
