Liu Qiao swallowed her saliva. She didn't know why she was so scared. 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 frightened. Some of the girls covered their mouths. They didn't know if they were frightened by Tao Wan's words or the tense atmosphere.
Liu Yong pushed the door open and walked in. He knew they were at loggerheads 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 breathed heavily, but she 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. Otherwise, I won't let him go easily!"
"Thank you, Sister Qiao. I'll teach him a lesson. Don't worry. You still have to go to the audition later. You can't be so angry because of him that you can't act normally. Calm down, calm down, "Liu Yong advised.
"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 signed up the audition number. It's not good to cancel it now. You know, this is not an ordinary crew. Everyone is careful. Sister Qiao, just bear with it. They're just newbies with a two-year contract. Their contracts will expire in less than a year. It's not certain if they can be renewed. With Hua Xi's personality, there's no hope of renewing the contract. But the company pays them. They have to do some work, right? Just bear with it for a few more months. Soon, this person will disappear in front of you. It's not worth it to be angry with him. "
Liu Qiao turned around 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 Liu Yong's words were exactly what they were worried about.
The company hadn't been established for long, and the most famous star was Liu Qiao. The competition in the entertainment industry was fierce. If the boss of the company didn't have some connections, Liu Qiao wouldn't have been able to enter the company.
The company's idea was to use a mass screening method to select the most qualified people from a large group of people. If this batch didn't work out, they would change another batch. The company wanted to nurture their own famous stars because it was too difficult to sign famous stars. The company signed a lot of rookies, but they only signed a short two-year contract. It was like a probation period, but 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 the rookies were most worried about. It was very difficult to sign a contract with a formal management company. Even if the chance of becoming famous was small, at least there was a chance. Moreover, the company also gave a guaranteed salary, which was no 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, yet you still want to offend her. Can't you just bear with it? Bear with it for a while and you'll 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 kept silent. He knew that Liu Yong was doing this for his own good, so he didn't say anything. But it was impossible for him to tolerate people like Liu Qiao. Even if he left the company and became an internet celebrity, he would still find a way to become famous. As long as he had fame, it wouldn't 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 anymore. Just wait for your contract to expire and leave. Originally, I thought that you had the highest chance of becoming famous among this batch of rookies. Let's not talk about becoming an A-lister, even a B-lister or B-lister 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 isn't suitable for the entertainment industry. If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, you'll have to bear with it for a long time. That's the rule of the industry. "
Liu Yong sincerely wanted to nurture someone. If he always managed these rookies, he wouldn't have much of a future. But even if he wanted to be a manager, he had to have someone to guide. The manager told him that as long as he could nurture someone with a bright future among the rookies, he would be appointed as a manager after signing a formal contract. Otherwise, he would have to be the leader of a new batch of rookies.
When Tao Wan and Liu Yong got into the car, the atmosphere in the car was quite bad. Everyone seemed to have something on their minds. Halfway through the car, someone started talking about the drama that they were going to audition for. So, those people temporarily forgot their worries and excitedly discussed it.
"I heard that the lead this time is Zheng Xuanlin. He's a three-time Best Actor. He only acted in movies before, but this time he actually took on a weekly drama."
"His studio seems to have invested in this drama. Zheng has always valued scripts. He must be satisfied with the script this time, so he took on this drama."
"The director and scriptwriter of this drama is Xiang Qing. She's a famous director and scriptwriter. She's won a lot of awards. She's also the director of Guan Heng Film and Television. I heard that Guan Heng also invested a lot of money. It's a collaboration between Guan Heng and Zheng Xuanlin's studio. "
"For people like us, this drama is unattainable. But for 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, it's so sweet. I'm a fan of their coupling. "
"Didn't Zheng Xuanlin tear apart the couple 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 that. If they're not photographed, they definitely won't admit it."
"Even if they're photographed, they won't admit it. It should be said that as long as they don't want to make it public, they won't admit it."
"Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi are really a good match. It'll be great if they're really a couple."
"Group Leader Liu, do you have any gossip? Are Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi together? "A girl asked curiously.
"I do have some gossip. In another two or three months, another batch of newcomers will enter the company." Liu Yong said expressionlessly. He thought that there was no hope for this batch of newcomers. He'd better count on the next batch of newcomers.
The car instantly quieted down. The atmosphere that had just become lively immediately dropped the temperature.
Tao Wan had been resting with his eyes closed. Among the topics they were talking about, the only thing that caught his attention was Zheng Xuanlin, his lover in his previous life, and the target of his strategy in this life.
"Teacher Hu." Tao Wan walked over and greeted him.
Hu Wenshan nodded. "Have you submitted your work?"
"You saw me walk out of there, right?" Tao Wan didn't say it directly, but his face said, "Why are you asking this nonsense?"
Hu Wenshan couldn't maintain the smile on his face. His good mood immediately dropped. "Your work this time was completed under my guidance. The chances of winning are very high. But if you don't win, don't be discouraged. Keep up the good work in the future."
"Teacher, you actually think that I won't win the award, right?" Tao Wan said. "Actually, teacher, you don't have to deliberately guide me in the wrong direction. Even if you really guide me, with your skills, I definitely won't win the award."
"…" Hu Wenshan was so angry that his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is what I mean." Tao Wan shook his head helplessly. "Considering your intelligence and understanding, I've already said it so bluntly. You still have to ask me what I mean. It's really tiring to talk to you."
Hu Wenshan was so angry that he was trembling. He looked at Tao Wan's back as he turned around and left. He really wanted to roar, "I'm the one who's tiring, okay?"
After Hu Wenshan calmed down, he began to scratch his head again. He didn't understand. If he felt that the work completed under his guidance would definitely not win the award, then why did he submit that work? Or was it that he didn't submit that work at all? But this time, the competition specified that he had to draw a large-scale landscape painting. How could he complete two works at the same time in such a short period of time?
Hu Wenshan thought that even if he submitted another work, it might not necessarily win the award. Although his drawing skills were indeed better than Xu Shaoyan's, Xu Shaoyan's work was completed under the guidance of a master. He definitely wouldn't be overshadowed by him. They only did this as a precaution. They were worried that he would exceed his usual performance.
Hu Wenshan's heart ached whenever he thought of Tao Wan's mocking words. It was as if a knife was stabbing his heart. He thought that it would be best to set a trap for him to be fired. Otherwise, he would definitely have a heart attack.
Wei Shicheng had been away for almost twenty days. He finally returned to China. As soon as he got off the plane, he couldn't wait to personally pick up Tao Wan. These days, when he was handling work in a foreign company, he almost didn't have time to rest. However, he couldn't help but think of Tao Wan and the way he looked when he was lying under him.
Tao Wan happened to have no classes in the afternoon. Wei Shicheng said that he would pick him up. He knew that he wouldn't be back until very late. He left some money for Du Yi and a note for him to order takeout. Then, he went outside the neighborhood and waited for Wei Shicheng's car to pick him up.
Tao Wan got in the car. The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a month since the last time they parted. Sitting next to Wei Shicheng, who exuded mature male hormones, Tao Wan pinched his fingers uncomfortably.
The original owner was considered tall among his peers. After all, his long legs contributed a lot to his height. However, sitting next to Wei Shicheng, he immediately looked much smaller.
Wei Shicheng tilted his head and looked at his fingers. He held his hand and gently pinched his fingers. He asked, "Are your fingers uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm just used to pinching them." Tao Wan whispered. He didn't pull his hand back.
