Well, this is in line with the character.
Yu Xiangwan's shortcomings are very obvious. He is a very controversial character in the book. His first appearance was to apologize to his boss's son. In the end, he drank a whole bottle of white wine on the spot and managed to deal with the trouble caused by his boss's son before he fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital.
This person is cruel to others and even crueler to himself.
He is undoubtedly very capable, but as a person who has climbed up step by step from the bottom of the entertainment industry, his way of handling many things is too extreme.
To put it bluntly, he is like a knife.
There is no right or wrong in his mind.
He will do whatever the person who controls the knife tells him to do, and unfortunately, his boss in the book is a villain, so every time he appears it basically means that a big battle is about to start in the comment section.
And now, Sheng Quan is his boss.
Sheng Quan dared to say that if she said now that she wanted someone, Yu Xiangwan would get it for her even if she had to use all means.
After all, the first time she met him, he was trying to "sell himself" to get money for his adoptive mother's medical treatment. When he was at his wit's end, the only solution he could think of was to sell himself.
If Sheng Quan hadn't arrived in time, he would have almost sold himself.
In the book, he always wears thick clothes to cover up the horrific scars all over his body. This is why his ruthless behavior is still controversial among readers. Although the book does not describe it in detail, any reader can see that Yu Xiangwan has encountered many unimaginable and tragic things.
Sheng Quan looked at Yu Xiangwan's wrists with her sleeves rolled up. Yu Xiangwan was fair-skinned, and the small section of skin that was exposed was also very white.
He has not yet suffered those horrible scars, so those scars that forced him to wrap himself in long sleeves and long pants for the rest of his life should have appeared after he 'sold himself'.
She did not appear in the book. If he wanted to sell herself for a high price, he would naturally have to pay a sufficient price.
Seeing Yu Xiangwan still looking at him seriously, as if he would immediately find a handsome man for her if she said a word, Sheng Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"No, just looking at them is enough to please the eyes. They are actors, not guests."
After thinking for a while, she looked at Yu Xiangwan again. Although she felt that it was highly unlikely that she would be able to change the life outlook of this loyal subordinate, she still added seriously, "And you, you are my producer, not a pimp. I didn't hire you for this. Just do your job well."
Just do your job well -
This sentence was unfamiliar to Yu Xiangwan. He started working at a very young age and entered the entertainment industry at the age of 18. In this industry with fierce competition and separation from ordinary industries, there is no such thing as perfection if one does not do his job well.
But now, someone told him this.
This was a very new thing for Yu Xiangwan, who had been struggling at the bottom for a long time.
Just like the first time he met Sheng Quan, he was taken to the hotel and deliberately found his most expensive clothes to put on, had his hair cut and took a shower. At that time, he was even prepared to be abused.
When he got there, he only saw a young girl handing him a contract: "I heard that you are very capable at work. I need a manager who is very familiar with the entertainment industry."
Before that, Yu Xiangwan had never heard anyone praise his strong work ability. Instead, people often looked at him with sticky eyes and hinted at him to use his body in exchange for opportunities to climb up.
Yu Xiangwan never responded to what those people said, but his heart seemed to be affected by these words, and he gradually came to believe that his most valuable thing was only his flesh and blood.
So when his adoptive mother needed money for her illness, he finally took this path.
But now, Shengquan, who bought him, wants him to just work hard.
There was a hint of confusion in Yu Xiangwan's dark eyes, because the information he had always received from others was that only his face and body were valuable. He believed that he was capable, but this was the first time that another person believed in his ability.
Although he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he soon nodded obediently: "Okay, I will follow your words."
Inexplicably, it gives people a very well behaved feeling.
Sheng Quan felt itchy when he saw Yu Xiangwan's focused and serious look, and he wanted to touch Yu Xiangwan's head.
After repeating to myself several times, "He is a human being, not a cute little animal," I finally suppressed this impulse.
The words in the book are different from the real people in reality. Sheng Quan has always been deeply aware of this since he came into this world.
Director Wan in the book seems very stubborn. He would rather go bankrupt than not finish the drama. But when you actually meet him, you will find that he is very confident in his own talent and is determined to make a desperate move as he has no other way forward.
This is a big gamble, but at the moment he cannot see the ending and does not know that he will die due to illness.
Yan Hui in the book is a graceful gentleman. People see more of his gentleness and tolerance. When Sheng Quan saw him, in addition to his gentleness like jade, he also saw his embarrassment and powerlessness in the face of life.
No matter how gentle he is to others, he is powerless when he should be powerless.
Yu Xiangwan in the book is both good and evil, and will do anything to achieve his goals. But when Sheng Quan helps him through a difficult time, one can immediately and deeply feel his stubborn loyalty and 100% obedience.
It's like a little wolfdog that has recognized its master.
Sheng Quan drank a little wine today, and her mind started to wander, but on the surface, her face just looked a little flushed.
But even so, Yu Xiangwan still insisted on sending her into the room, poured her some warm water, and after watching Sheng Quan sit on the bed, he took something out of his bag and began to search the room.
Sheng Quan was surprised: "What is this?"
"Detector."
Yu Xiangwan walked around the room, turned around and said to her with a smile: "Some people install hidden cameras in hotels. I borrowed this detector from a friend. It can detect whether there are cameras."
Sheng Quan also remembered that she had read in the news before that some small hotels would have this kind of secret filming and recording. In her previous life, when she was on a business trip and stayed in a hotel, she would also use the King's test to test it for peace of mind.
Of course, this kind of problem would not occur in her luxury suite that cost 188,000 yuan a night. Now that she has moved to a new hotel, she didn't react.
But in the previous life, people usually downloaded an app to detect, or used King of Glory directly. This was the first time Sheng Quan saw someone use professional tools to investigate.
She looked at the detector in Yu Xiangwan's hand curiously: "Can you still borrow this kind of professional detector?"
Seeing Sheng Quan's curiosity, Yu Xiangwan simply held it in front of her so that she could take a closer look. He explained: "Some extreme fans will install cameras in the stars' homes or hotels to secretly film and record, so this kind of detector is very common in the industry."
But Sheng Quan is not a star. The fact that he thought of bringing this up shows that he put all aspects of Sheng Quan, including his privacy, first.
Based on this point alone, Sheng Quan felt that the money she spent on Yu Xiangwan was not a waste.
She even wondered if Yu Xiangwan's favorability towards her had already reached its maximum. Not to mention, it was almost impossible for someone else to have a maximum favorability instantly, but it was quite reasonable for Yu Xiangwan.
If Yu Xiangwan's character was not a mystery, she would definitely choose this person as the first sponsored person. After all, his favorability and ability are both outstanding.
She smiled and praised Yu Xiangwan: "You did a careful job. I'll give you a bonus."
Yu Xiangwan shook her head: "No bonus required, this is my job."
"No, that won't work. You are so capable, so of course I have to give you a bonus. I will give it to you next month."
Why next month? Because most of the money this month was used to create her image of a wealthy person.
The entertainment industry in this world is similar to that in her previous life, for example, the rich are the boss.
She is not going to just invest some money and run away. She wants to develop here for a long time. Although this is only the first task, there will be many tasks waiting to be done later. Therefore, it is very important to shape her own image as a wealthy person.
Of course, real wealthy people don’t need to be so deliberate. After all, they already have all kinds of connections and resources, but Sheng Quan doesn’t.
Only by showing your generosity can you get the green light for what you want to do.
Most importantly, the book clearly mentioned that Yan Hui offended people during this period. If she, Yan Hui's "backer", did not show her strength and wealth, how could she control those people?
Sheng Quan thought as she closed her eyes drowsily. She was really tired. Fortunately, she didn't put on any makeup today and didn't have to get up to remove it. She also had her first reliable subordinate by her side, so she could sleep peacefully.
Boss Sheng, who was still thinking about how to make money, did not forget to remind Yu Xiangwan before falling asleep: "Learn from the experience well. I'm counting on you to help me with "The Road of Life". When you have learned it, come to my company. And Yan Hui will have an audition tomorrow, remember to wake me up..."
He fell asleep before he could finish his words.
Yu Xiangwan turned around to agree, but was startled when she saw Sheng Quan sleeping soundly.
After all, he is an adult male. For a girl like Sheng Quan to fall asleep while he is in the room, it can be said that she trusts him very much.
This was the first time in Yu Xiangwan’s life that she gained trust.
Yu Xiangwan walked forward and gently covered Sheng Quan with the quilt. Without even noticing it himself, his usually dark eyes softened.
His gratitude to Sheng Quan could not be described in words. Before deciding to sell himself out, he was ready to face everything.
But in the end, Sheng Quan just let him work normally.
She even said that she trusted his ability to do the job.
Yu Xiangwan's heart was filled with endless emotions that he couldn't even explain. He wanted to say some words of gratitude, but he felt that it would be better to repay with actions than to say these empty words.
Finally, the young man who was described in the book as 'cruel and hard-hearted' lowered his voice and promised the sleeping girl meekly: "Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
*** The next day, Sheng Quan was awakened by Yu Xiangwan's what could be described as a gentle knock on the door.
She yawned, got up and opened the door: "What time is it?"
"Ten thirty, the audition is at one in the afternoon."
Yu Xiangwan looked down at his watch and said, "Breakfast will be delivered in half an hour."
Sheng Quan nodded: "Okay, I'll take a shower first."
Sheng Quan looked down at the time and discovered another advantage of Yu Xiangwan.
He was good at managing his time. If she took a shower, took care of her skin, had a meal, and then set off, she would arrive around 12:50.
Sheng Quan bet that Yu Xiangwan must have anticipated that she would take a shower before he came to call her, but as for how he calculated it, no one knew.
After getting in the car, Sheng Quan smelled a faint scent of grass and wood in the car, the same scent as her shampoo. It was obvious that Yu Xiangwan discovered that she didn't like the original scent in the car yesterday.
It has to be said that it is really comfortable to be taken care of so attentively and meticulously. Sheng Quan was very satisfied, so he silently raised Yu Xiangwan's salary level in his heart.
She was actually really curious about the salary of the driver in front, because she was already itching to poach him in the future.
Yes, it was the driver assigned to her by the hotel.
This hotel's service awareness is really advanced. Even when Sheng Quan goes on a business trip, the driver can accompany her, and the air tickets are reimbursed by the hotel.
The reason why Sheng Quan wanted to poach him was because he was really a super dedicated driver. He never said much, but always offered his help when she needed it. Whether she was eating pancakes in the car or Yu Xiangwan's shocking words yesterday about "sending someone to warm her bed", he didn't react at all and just drove his car silently.
The most important thing is that when Sheng Quan woke up in the morning, he found out that the driver's door of the person living opposite him had been wide open the whole night.
In other words, he would know immediately if anyone tried to approach her door.
Without anyone asking him to do so, he took on the part-time job of a bodyguard.
After spending these days together, Sheng Quan, who was not used to having a driver at first, completely changed his mind.
And she also found that she still needed some people around her. After all, this was not her previous life. No matter what she felt inside, at least she looked like a rich person on the surface. Even if she didn't talk about getting things done, her personal safety still needed to be guaranteed.
Of course, she was only thinking about it in her mind now. After all, she could still get it for free now. She could take advantage of the system as much as she could.
Sheng Quan kept this matter in mind.
The most important person now is Yan Hui.
He is the sponsored person of this mission. Whether he can continue to take advantage of the system or become more financially well-off in the days ahead depends on Yan Hui.
*** Yan Hui finally came.
He did not hesitate for a long time. He simply took two pieces of clothes and bought the cheapest hard seat ticket. Because he had to change trains along the way, it took him 23 hours to get here.
It all comes down to the same thing: to save money.
When he arrived at the crew, fatigue was visibly evident on his face, but he tried hard to cheer himself up.
The long journey did not make Yan Hui anxious, but made him cherish this opportunity even more. He had long known that hard work might not always be rewarded, but since he had already paid, he would naturally find ways to give all the effort he could.
On the train, he finished reading the original novel of "The Road of Life". The first time he read it, he understood the whole text. After the second time, he began to ponder the character of Qin Heng and other characters' views and perceptions of Qin Heng. At night, when few people went to the toilet, he would hide inside and practice his expressions in front of the mirror over and over again.
Yan Hui himself was not really sure why he came here, maybe it was for that tiny bit of hope.
If I can get this role, the salary will also be a lot of money.
Moreover, there is always some hope in my heart.
Although he always fails to get the life he wants.
But what if, what if...
This time the crew was very easy to talk to and even sent him the script in advance, so his hopes were a little higher.
To be honest, Yan Hui didn't sleep for several hours during the entire journey. Even those few hours were because he forced himself to sleep because he knew he had to sleep.
He looked visibly tired, but when he was led into the studio by the crew, Yan Hui's back straightened instantly.
This is Yan Hui. Once he makes up his mind, no matter how difficult it is, he will do his best.
Yan Hui looked forward with trepidation, intending to introduce himself to the casting director. When he raised his eyes, he saw Sheng Quan sitting in the middle, resting his chin on his hand and looking at him with a smile.
A look of astonishment flashed across the young man's gentle eyes... Was it her? (End of this chapter)
