"Hit me!" Tao Wan looked at her and used the system to release pressure. He pointed at his face and said, "Hit me here. It's not the first time you've hit me anyway. But remember this, every slap you give me, I'll return it to you tenfold! "
Liu Qiao swallowed her saliva. She didn't know why she was so afraid. Why couldn't she just hit him like before? She even had the urge to kneel down and apologize. It was only because she resisted the urge that she didn't kneel.
The newbies standing aside were all scared. Some of the girls covered their mouths. They didn't know if they were scared by Tao Wan's words or the tense atmosphere.
Liu Yong pushed the door open and came in. He knew they were going to fight again when he saw the situation. He quickly walked over and took down Liu Qiao's raised hand and said, "Aiyo, Sister Qiao, you're such a big star. Why are you arguing with a newcomer? Calm down, calm down. I'll teach him a lesson in a while. This kind of thing requires Sister Qiao to do personally."
Liu Qiao took deep breaths but still couldn't calm down. She said to Liu Yong, "I'll give you face and let him go for today. But you better teach him a lesson, or I won't let him go easily!"
"Thank you, Sister Qiao, for giving me face. I'll teach him a lesson. Don't worry, don't worry. You still have to go to the audition later. You can't be angry because of him. Calm down, calm down. "Liu Yong comforted her.
"Cancel his audition. Let him go home and reflect!" Liu Qiao said to Liu Yong in a commanding tone.
"Well …" Liu Yong said awkwardly. "I just sent in the audition number. It's not good to cancel it now. You know, this isn't a normal crew. Everyone has to be careful. Sister Qiao, just bear with it. They're just rookies who only have a two-year contract. In less than a year, their contracts will expire. It's not certain if they can be renewed. With Hua Xi's personality, there was probably no hope of renewing the contract. But the company paid them a salary, so they had to do some work, right? Just bear with it for a few more months. Soon, this person will completely disappear in front of you. It's not worth it to be angry with him. "
Liu Qiao turned her head and glared at Tao Wan. "This isn't over yet. Just you wait!"
Liu Qiao puffed out her chest and raised her chin as she walked out. The anger in her heart could not be dissipated no matter what. She was still upset that she did not slap him just now.
"What are you all standing there for?" Liu Yong said to the stunned newcomers. "The car is already downstairs. Get off."
The rookies all looked dejected as they walked out of the lounge one after another. The reason why they were like this was because of what Liu Yong said. It happened to be what they were worried about.
This company had not been established for long. The most famous celebrity was Liu Qiao. The entertainment industry was very competitive. If the boss of this company did not have some connections, Liu Qiao would not have been able to enter this company.
The company's idea was to use a mass screening method to select the most talented people from a large group of people. If this batch did not work, then they would change another batch. The company wanted to cultivate famous celebrities themselves because it was too difficult to sign famous celebrities. The company signed a lot of rookies, but they only signed a two-year contract. It was like a probation period. However, they were given a guaranteed salary every month.
Once the two-year contract was up, whether they could stay or not was the thing that these rookies were most worried about. It was very difficult to sign with a formal management company now. Even if the chance of becoming famous was small, at least there was a chance. Moreover, the company also gave a guaranteed salary. It was not less than the salary of a white-collar worker. After leaving the company, they would be further away from their dreams.
"I say, why don't you learn from your mistakes? You've been taught a lesson by her so many times and you still want to offend her. Can't you bear with it? Bear with it for a while and you will be able to see the world. Just keep it in your heart. When you become more famous than her, she will come begging you. The entertainment industry is so realistic. "
Tao Wan was expressionless and did not say anything. He knew that Liu Yong was doing this for his own good, so he did not say anything. However, it was impossible for him to tolerate people like Liu Qiao. Even if he left this company and became an internet celebrity, he would still find a way to become famous. As long as he was famous, it would not be difficult to act.
"This is the last time." Liu Yong helplessly shook his head and said, "If you offend her again, I won't care. Just wait for your contract to expire and leave. Originally, I thought that you were the most likely to become famous among this batch of people. Let's not talk about being an A-list celebrity. Even being a B-list celebrity would be good. What if one day your luck changes and you become famous after playing a role that no one wants? But now it seems that your personality is not suitable for the entertainment industry. If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, you will have to bear with it for a long time. This is the industry's rule. "
Liu Yong sincerely wanted to train someone. If he always managed these newcomers, he would not have much of a future. But even if he wanted to be a manager, he needed someone to train. The manager told him that as long as he could train a promising newcomer, he would be the manager after signing a formal contract. Otherwise, he would have to be the leader of the new group.
When Tao Wan and Liu Yong got in the car, the atmosphere in the car was not good. Everyone seemed to have something on their minds. Halfway through the journey, someone started talking about the drama they were going to audition for. Thus, those people temporarily forgot their worries and started discussing excitedly.
"I heard that the lead this time is Zheng Xuanlin. He has won the Best Actor award three times. In the past, he only acted in movies. This time, he actually took on a weekly drama."
"His studio seems to have invested in this drama. Zheng has always valued the script. He must be satisfied with the script this time. That's why he took on this drama."
"The director and scriptwriter of this drama is Xiang Qing. She is a famous director and scriptwriter. She has won many awards. She is also the director of Guan Heng Film and Television. I heard that Guan Heng also invested a lot of money in this drama. It is a collaboration between Guan Heng and Zheng Xuanlin's studio. "
"For people like us, this movie is unattainable. But for Movie King Zheng, it's definitely the second best choice. No matter what, he's still a movie star."
"Do you think that Zheng took on this drama because of Cheng Yi? If that's the case, then it's too sweet. I'm their CP fan. "
"Didn't Zheng Xuanlin tear apart the CP before? He said that he and Cheng Yi are just ordinary friends. It's impossible for them to develop a relationship. "
"Those big stars are all like this. If they are not photographed, they will definitely not admit it."
"Even if they are photographed, they will not admit it. It should be said that as long as they don't want to make it public, they will not admit it."
"Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi are really a good match. It will be great if they are really a couple."
"Leader Liu, do you have any gossip? Are Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi together? "A girl asked curiously.
"I do have some gossip. That is, in another two or three months, another batch of newcomers will enter the company." Liu Yong said expressionlessly. He thought that this batch of newcomers was hopeless. He would rather count on the next batch of newcomers.
The car instantly quieted down. The atmosphere that had just been lively immediately dropped.
Tao Yuan had been resting with his eyes closed. Among the topics they were talking about, the only thing that caught his attention was Zheng Xuanlin, the lover of his previous life, and the target of his strategy in this life.
"I'm not asleep. You can talk. I'm listening." Tao Wan opened his eyes a little.
"Don't be in a hurry to agree to sell the painting to anyone. When I come back, we can discuss it again. I will use the company's shares in exchange for it. Is that okay?" Wei Shicheng said in a coaxing tone.
"I didn't plan to sell it. I think it will be difficult for me to draw such a good painting in the future. Moreover, this painting consumed too much of my energy. I can't bear to sell it, so I plan to keep it for myself. "Tao Wan thought for a while and said," Can I use this painting as my dowry, Uncle Wei? "
"That's a great idea. Then it's settled." Wei Shicheng said excitedly, "No matter what others say to you, don't be tempted. I will rush back in two days. No matter what happens, wait for me to come back."
"I already said that I won't sell it. No matter how much money they give me, I won't be tempted. You can come back after you settle things over there. Otherwise, you will have to fly back in a short period of time. Wouldn't that be a waste of time? "
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll settle things over here first. You can ask for leave from school for the next few days. Don't go anywhere at home. Otherwise, those people will definitely pester you. "
"Okay, okay. Hurry up and work. When you're done, come back early. I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy. "Tao Wan yawned again.
"Then you sleep. Rest well for the next few days. I'm hanging up." Wei Shicheng looked at Tao Wan's tired appearance and felt a little distressed.
Tao Wan waited for him to finish and immediately hung up. He was still holding the phone in his hand, but he had already fallen asleep. That painting consumed too much of his mind and energy. Even the System's recovery of his body had slowed down. Tao Wan felt that even if he could draw the same level of painting, he wouldn't want to draw anymore. At least for the next few years, he definitely wouldn't draw anymore.
After the two of them went public with their relationship, Tao Wan moved to Wei Shicheng's villa. Du Yi also lived there with him. Wei Shicheng even helped him to transfer to a private aristocratic school.
Tao Wan slept until noon, but he still looked sleepy. If he hadn't woken up because of hunger, he would have continued sleeping.
Du Yi was watching TV in the living room. Tao Wan walked to him and sat down. The housekeeper came over and asked, "Master Du, what would you like to eat?"
"Seafood porridge," Tao Wan said. "Make me a glass of milk first."
The housekeeper left and soon came back with a glass of fresh milk.
Du Yi turned to look at Tao Wan and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to school today?"
"Yeah," Tao Wan held the warm milk and drank a sip. "I'll be resting at home for the next few days. I won't go anywhere."
"Is it because a lot of people want to buy your paintings?" Du Yi said. "These two days, your paintings have been on the news a lot. The news said that a lot of rich people from abroad have come to our country just to buy your paintings. But a lot of masters in our country are saying that they can't let you sell your paintings to foreigners. "
"You're only in primary school and you're already watching the news? Shouldn't children your age be watching anime? "
"Not all primary school students like to watch anime, right?" Du Yi thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I don't like to watch it. The content is too exaggerated. I prefer to watch things that happen in real life."
"Really?" Tao Wan said.
"Brother, will you sell your paintings to foreigners? I heard that they will pay a high price and help you immigrate. "
"I won't." Tao Wan said with certainty. "I'm living well in our country. Why would I want to immigrate to a place that I'm not used to at all? They must be crazy to think that. Our country is not worse than other countries in any aspect. I'm not crazy. Why would I agree to it? "
"Oh, I don't really want to go abroad. I think it's good to live in our country." Du Yi looked relieved.
Tao Wan looked at him with amusement.
"The news said that a painting of yours can be sold for a lot of money. So you're rich now, right?" Du Yi asked.
"You can say that," Tao Wan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we don't have to worry about money anymore."
"When I start working, I'll give you all the money I earn." Du Yi said with a serious face.
"Okay," Tao Wan patted his shoulder and said, "Before you get married, I'll help you take care of it."
"Master Du, it's time for the young master to go to his piano lesson." The housekeeper put down the seafood porridge and said to Tao Wan.
"Okay," Tao Wan nodded and turned to Du Yi and said, "Go, have a good class."
