Chapter 28



When he was still a working dog, Sheng Quan hated attending various company dinners.

The main reason is that every company dinner is either held after get off work or on weekends. Every dinner means that her personal time is squeezed out by the unscrupulous company for more than three hours.

But when she became the biggest boss herself and had the freedom to choose the dinner time after work, she found that dinner parties can still be very enjoyable.

Although part of this happiness was brought by the fact that the table was filled with handsome men and beautiful women, what made her happiest was that the people at this table represented that Xingmang was finally on the right track.

If a company only has money and employees, it will definitely not work, at least not for an entertainment company, which needs artists who can bring profits to the company.

Before that, if she wanted, she could of course ask her subordinates to bring in a large number of people.

But Xingmang Entertainment is not the kind of black-hearted company that defrauds signing fees, so their development path is limited to focusing on quality rather than quantity of their artists.

Of course, this "many" is compared with other companies. It is impossible for such a big company like Star Mang to train only a dozen artists in total.

Gu Zhao was extremely busy, constantly contacting potential projects for cooperation with Xingmang Entertainment.

His appearance: He looks extremely cold and aloof, just like those ruthless bosses in TV dramas who say “Don’t talk to me if the price is less than 100 million”.

In fact, he will treat any cooperation project with 100% focus, no matter how small the possibility is. Even if the deal cannot be concluded now, he will at least try to get more than 51% inclination from the other party.

Partners don’t just fall from the sky. In the early stages of a company’s development, even if it’s a well-funded company like Star Entertainment, you still have to contact them one by one.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Sheng Quan to imagine. She could feel the difficulties in the early stage of entrepreneurship with Xingmang's chosen start. And how did Gu Zhao manage to build Wansheng with two people at the same time when it had a hellish start?

But now, with so many more people under her command, Xingmang can finally get on the right track.

All of Xingmang's company expenses are paid from the rent of Huaxing Building, which means she doesn't have to spend a penny and can just wait to collect the money when there is a profit.

Sheng Quan seemed to have seen the scene of huge piles of small bills flying towards her.

This is a lot of money.

Sheng Quan was still enjoying herself while eating, but when everyone's physical examination reports came out, she knew why each of these people was more capable than the other.

After all, reality is not a TV drama. It is impossible for a normal human being to work too hard and overdraw their bodies and still be healthy.

It's amazing, among the people present, only An Baixing can be said to be healthy both physically and mentally.

The rest of the people all had stomach problems, and two of them were even malnourished.

Even Gu Zhao, who is in the best condition and is already undergoing treatment, still needs to continue long-term conditioning.

Yu Xiangwan downplayed it when he told her, but after reading the report, it turned out that he and Gu Zhao were simply a pair of brothers in distress.

Yuan Zixin’s condition is almost the same, even worse than these two.

As for the artists, Mingqi is slightly better, but she also got periarthritis of the shoulder due to filming. Hua Qing and Liu Zian have many minor occupational diseases. Although they are not very serious, they definitely feel uncomfortable every day.

Hua Qing also has some psychological problems, but the good news is that they are not serious. According to her, it is probably because she was unable to get over a scene she was in.

Yan Hui was not able to escape either. He had been living a life of a god for a long time, sleeping only three hours a day. Not losing his hair might have been his last luck.

As for Jinjiu, which promoted this physical examination for all employees, the first word that came to Sheng Quan's mind after seeing the physical examination report was:

——A rag doll.

The novel only says that Jin Jiu's voice was ruined after being poisoned, but Zhou Xie, who poisoned him, certainly couldn't have gotten a packet of "professional throat poison" medicine. After the medicine entered Jin Jiu's body, it would not only ruin his voice.

He was already in poor health to begin with, and after dropping out of school he had to work part-time to save money for treatment and classes, and he also had to find time to participate in the show. It was already amazing that his body was not riddled with injuries.

Not to mention that he also has serious mental illness.

Sheng Quan looked up at Jin Jiu.

Jin Jiu was sitting obediently. He just looked a little pale, with his hands slightly curled up at his sides. He was so quiet that he had no sense of existence. But when he found Sheng Quan looking at him, his eyes immediately brightened up and he gave her a small shy smile in return.

It is hard to imagine that he is currently suffering from severe pain in his body and mind caused by the illness.

She asked him, "The doctor said that you would feel a lot of pain, why didn't you tell me?"

Jin Jiu whispered: "I'm used to it."

It was just a light sentence, but it made people tremble in their hearts.

What does it take to get used to such severe pain?

Sheng Quan was in a complicated mood. She couldn't help thinking, only seven years had passed and Jin Jiu's body was already like this. What about the thirty years in the book? Did he suffer from constant physical pain during these thirty years?

Jin Jiu was really well behaved. Perhaps he noticed Sheng Quan's mood. He looked over carefully again and added in a low voice: "Actually, once you get used to it, it won't hurt that much."

How could it be possible that the pain would not go away once you get used to it? He just didn’t want to make Sheng Quan worry.

Sheng Quan couldn't help it, he gently raised his hand and rubbed Jin Jiu's head: "Okay, who can get used to pain? There will be a treatment plan here, and it will definitely cure you. You must cooperate with the doctor's treatment. After you are cured, there will be work arranged for you to do."

Jin Jiu immediately nodded obediently: "I will definitely cooperate."

After a physical examination, Mr. Sheng’s “outstanding talents” have basically been transformed into “excellent patients”.

Fortunately, everyone is still relatively young. Although they all have their own illnesses, most of them are caused by irregular work and rest and diet, high-intensity exercise, and no time to see a doctor.

For example, Gu Zhao's treatment progress has accelerated since Sheng Quan forced him to work overtime until 10 o'clock in the evening at the latest.

With just one word from Director Sheng, everyone entered the treatment phase.

Hua Qing was extremely surprised, especially after the company cut most of the original schedule in order to accommodate her treatment progress. She felt like she was dreaming.

She has worked for two companies, but she knows what kind of people are running companies in the entertainment industry.

There is a saying: Artists’ bodies are their own, but the money they earn for the company will always belong to the company.

This is the truest thought of major companies in the entertainment industry today.

As for whether the health of the artists under the company will be ruined? Then shouldn't we use them to make more money before it is ruined?

Anyway, it's the artist's body, not theirs. If it's destroyed, then destroy it. No one will care except the artist themselves.

As a result, when she came to Xingmang, she had just signed the contract. Xingmang even paid a large sum of money to sign her, but they didn't rush to use her to make money, didn't exploit her, didn't let her work under high intensity, and even took the initiative to take care of her body.

Hua Qing was completely flattered.

Even though she was one of the Four Little Flowers, she had never thought that she would be treated so well at Xing Mang before she came. Not to mention her, even those big stars were forced to do this and that by the company. And what shocked her the most was that not only she, one of the Four Little Flowers, received this treatment, but the other artists in the company who were not so famous (in other words, they were not under the scrutiny of the company) also got time to recuperate.

Moreover, all treatments are carried out at the expensive Aihe Hospital. Although everyone knows that the treatment here will be very fast and the privacy is almost impeccable, it is almost the best treatment place for artists, but it is expensive.

But Xingmang arranged for them to be in love and treatment, and even customized a complete treatment plan for them.

Hua Qing never thought that Gu Zhao was involved in these things.

She jumped here from Wansheng. When Mr. Gu was at Wansheng, he only cared about the interests of the company and was as cold-blooded as a robot.

Although he did not deliberately exploit his artists, he was definitely not the type of person who would care about the health of his artists. As long as the artists could create profits for the company, he didn't care about their health.

The reason why Xingmang gives such good treatment to its artists and employees can only be Sheng Quan’s decision.

After sleeping for eight

After spending hours undergoing rehabilitation training, eating a normal and healthy diet, and communicating face-to-face with the psychologist at the Aihe Hospital, Hua Qing felt more relaxed than ever before.

After her body was mostly recovered, she looked at herself in the mirror and was surprised to find that she seemed to have become a little prettier, but when she thought about it carefully, it was normal.

No matter how diligently I applied facial masks and stayed up late in the past, it would be strange if I could be in good shape.

Hua Qing seemed to be gradually returning to his best condition, not only physically but also mentally.

In the past, she always felt that everything she did was urgent, as if she would be abandoned by everyone if she didn't stand out. But now, she has found a sense of security that she hadn't felt for a long time. Although she has never seen a similar experience, she just knows that Xingmang will not treat her like this.

Even though he knew that once she started working, she would never be as relaxed as she is now, Hua Qing still felt extremely at ease.

She would take the acting and body shape classes arranged by the company very seriously, and work hard to improve herself with the company's encouragement. Every time she saw An Baixing crying out in exhaustion, she would go up to her and say, "The company arranges for us to take classes because it's for our benefit. This means that Xingmang wants to develop us in the long term."

Hua Qing changed unconsciously.

When she was in Wansheng, she never cared to talk to the artists signed with the same company. After all, being in the same company does not mean a good relationship, it only means competition. Sometimes the company will deliberately provoke competition between them. But in Xingmang, Hua Qing never hesitates to share her experience.

She taught Yan Hui some tips on how to get into a role, taught Mingqi how to avoid the camera during filming, and often told this group of young people with Yu Xiangwan how deceptive other companies were and how good Xing Mang was.

Soon, Yu Hongdou also joined in.

Hua Qing could understand her very well. Those of them who had experienced shady companies wanted Xingmang to become bigger and stronger and stand forever more than anyone else.

When she was almost done recuperating, Xingmang arranged an advertisement for her.

When working with the other party, the photographer kept praising her for her good condition. He said that he had seen some of her previous photos and images before he came. However, after meeting her, he felt that the photographer who had taken the photos of Hua Qing before must not have very good skills.

——Although he would find an opportunity to step on other photographers and brag about his own photography skills.

But this cooperation is still going very smoothly. Hua Qing is very happy, not only about his own situation, but also about being able to create benefits for the company.

Yes, Hua Qing, who originally just wanted to change his employer, has now completely integrated into Xingmang.

When she chats with her colleagues now, she always calls them "our Xingmang" or "our Mr. Sheng".

Hua Qing understood why so many people followed the lead of Sheng Quan, the chairman of the company.

I also understood why Gu Zhao, who often competed with the two shareholders in Wansheng, suddenly became as docile as a lamb in front of Director Sheng when he arrived at Xingmang.

Hua Qing joined Wansheng early. She still remembered that Gu Zhaoye used to be not the type of person who liked to compete with others. He always worked silently. Unfortunately, such behavior was not recognized by the two partners. Instead, they used the development of the company to threaten him to make concessions.

Then, Gu Zhao's methods became extremely radical.

But now, she seemed to see the former Mr. Gu again.

——Although I don’t know why he is always obsessed with wearing gold-rimmed glasses now, he is obviously not nearsighted.

In short, Hua Qing now only hopes that the Starlight can hang in the air with light as its name suggests.

Starlight lasts forever.
