Chapter 9
Without money in my pocket, I have to be tight-lipped about everything.
The trainees have already started training and classes, and the new management team will report the situation there every day, but Jiang Juyou doesn't dare to listen, because every second she listens will remind her of the money she spent. It
costs money to ask the teacher for classes, in addition to basic dance and vocal classes, there are even some strange classes.
Because she is really unfamiliar with this aspect, Jiang Juyou started to cram knowledge from the first day she was fooled into the system. She read everything that could be searched on the Internet. She didn't study the questions so seriously during the college entrance examination.
In addition to dance and vocal music, the five people were also assigned to perform, dress up, take selfies, speak, socialize, and write. Yao Shuo and Gao Xiayu, who had a basic knowledge of musical instruments, also learned how to use computer software to write music.
Everything was just starting out. Even the employees in the company had just entered the company. Jiang Juyu was trembling and stumbling in front, while several people behind her were pulling at her clothes and following slowly.
The first week can even be called a novel and chaotic week.
The trainees are in place, and each department is about to start formal operations.
The summer here in Beijing is like burning dry firewood. Even the air you breathe in is like a knife, as if it is going to cut open your nasal cavity, stinging you painfully.
Before ten o'clock, the scorching sun outside can make people scald, especially when they just come out of the cool subway station, the contrast is even stronger. As soon
as Li Yao came out of the subway station, he saw two familiar figures.
"Zhao Xu! Yang Siyu!"
On the day of the interview, the three of them were a group, and because they had to wait outside for a long time, they chatted for a while.
Li Yao studied new media, so entering the entertainment industry is a professional match, but Zhao Xu and Yang Siyu's majors are not related to this circle at all. Zhao Xu studied interior design, and her strengths during the interview were graphic design for posters and peripherals. Yang Siyu majored in business English, and was good at video post-production and translation. She also had Korean Level 6 and Japanese N2 certificates.
Li Yao heard something behind the words at the time. The three of them seemed to be, possibly, probably - star chasers.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have learned so many things that were not related to their profession.
Now, entertainment companies basically don't recruit star chasers, and they deliberately concealed this fact when they came, thinking that since they were not chasing after domestic entertainment, it should be no problem.
But they were all exposed in the first interview. Not only were they seen to have experience in star chasing, but they even guessed that they had worked in a station before.
They thought they had no hope of getting the job, but they finally got in smoothly. They were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. Of course, not only them, but also the two people in the new management team signed it.
Those two people jumped from other companies. Unlike them, the three of them are fresh graduates who have just entered the workplace.
Everyone was very excited on the first day of work yesterday. As soon as the three of them got together, they started chattering about all kinds of topics, but they never mentioned who their favorites were or who their idols were.
The artists they had seen before were all packaged on stage. Even the behind-the-scenes videos they saw were deliberately shown by the artists. This was the first time they saw the behind-the-scenes process from this perspective, and it felt very novel.
Yesterday, the interns came for the first time, and there were also foreign makeup teachers and photography teams. The job of the three of them was to take the camera to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage and record this first time.
And today's job is to cut out the pile of behind-the-scenes footage that they shot so badly.
Under the scorching sun, outside the subway exit.
Yang Siyu turned around and saw Li Yao running towards them, "Good morning!" When she approached, he even gave her half of the umbrella.
The three of them walked together in the direction of the company, and the excitement in their hearts was no less than that of elementary school students going on an outing.
The same is true for Jiang Juyu, who has just entered the workplace. Two weeks ago, she was preparing for the final exams and worrying about her independent internship. Now she has become a worker.
Of course, getting up at eight in the morning has not changed.
Jiang Juyu, who got up at 7 o'clock, sat on the bed with a messy head and was stunned for a few seconds. After a while, she realized that she was now a worker.
"..."
What a damn early wake-up.
The company has just started, and there are only a few employees, so the rest of the work is basically done by her and the system. The system is responsible for most of the work, and what she needs to do is to complete the various tasks issued by the system.
But the workload is not small at all.
Just designing an APP for fans to interact with artists has caused Jiang Juyu's already limited hair to suffer again. She has looked through all the platform APPs that can be found on the market, and smartly searched for keywords on Weibo to see what fans have to say.
It was not enough to just finish this, because in two months the trainees would be on stage, and she had to research where to buy the songs. These two tasks alone made her cry and curse last night.
She studied until the early morning, but only touched the surface.
She wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination after only a few days of work.
Jiang Juyou finally took a look at the number of people who were expected to take the postgraduate entrance examination this year before she came to her senses again.
After washing up, she dragged her heavy body to the office area.
The theater is designed in a stepped style, so the whole building is very high. The backstage area has three floors. The underground is mainly a parking lot for the transportation of equipment, as well as a practice room and a waiting room. All the space the trainees need is here, even the only toilet and bathroom are here, so if Jiang Juyou wants to go to the toilet, she has to go to the negative floor.
The first floor has only a few rooms because the stage in front takes up a lot of space. It has not been unlocked yet. It only shows the words [Waiting Room], but the specific use can be changed after it is unlocked.
Going up is the office area and Jiang Juyou's accommodation in the corner. The planning team and Jiang Juyou's office are here, while the office of the new management team is on the negative floor.
Jiang Juyou sat down at her workstation with a sleepy look on her face. After randomly scratching her hair a few times, she resigned herself to turning on her computer and started working for the day.
"Beep - Good morning, Li Yao."
"Beep - Good morning..."
After a series of beeps, Jiang Juyou knew that her half-siblings had arrived.
After a few minutes, the sound of the elevator door opening was heard in the distance. Three girls walked in while chatting. They were laughing loudly at first, but when they noticed Jiang Juyou, they were silent as if they were suddenly muted.
Jiang Juyou raised the corners of her mouth and said to them, "Good morning!"
The three girls huddled together, nodded and said hello to Jiang Juyu, then quickly unloaded their bags and went to their workstations.
They looked especially like the female college students who rushed into the classroom only to find that the teacher was already standing on the podium.
Of course, they had just graduated, and their behavior was full of student spirit.
Jiang Juyu was not much better, as the three of them had at least received their diplomas, while she still had a year before graduation.
The workstations were T-shaped, with Jiang Juyu sitting at the top and the other three on one side, with one side empty.
After the three of them sat down, they held their heads and winked at each other, feeling a little nervous. They had been here for a few days, but this was their first time sitting with the boss to work, so it would be a lie to say they were casual.
Li Yao glanced in the direction of the boss, pursed his lips, and finally asked hesitantly: "Boss, have you had breakfast?"
Jiang Juyu, who was buried in the computer, tilted his head, "Not yet, have you eaten?"
"Ah! We just bought some at the convenience store on the street, do you want to eat, boss?" The three of them then took out the hidden plastic bags, which contained bread, milk, and various rice balls, especially those bought during an outing, and the quantity was even quite large.
Jiang Juyou ordered takeout, so she shook her head and said, "You guys eat, I ordered takeout, but you have to go to the tea room when you eat, otherwise the smell of food will be everywhere and you won't be able to concentrate on work."
She also said considerately, "I forgot to mention that I have cleaned up a tea room next door. Our company only provides lunch, but there is no limit on the amount. You can bring an extra lunch box and put it in the refrigerator after you pack it, so you can eat it in the evening."
"Although we work from nine to five and are not forced to work overtime, sometimes the workload is tight--" Before Jiang Juyu finished speaking, the three of them nodded immediately, "I understand, I understand, I understand!"
Jiang Juyu then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, you guys should go and have your meal, and upload the edited video after dinner."
The three of them were like students who had just been scolded. They hurried to the tea room with their things in fear, fearing that they would be stopped again if they walked too slowly.
After turning a corner, entering the tea room, and closing the door, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yao immediately sighed, "My slacking career is over!"

Jiang Juyu: I understand!
