The small company that Chu Lingyu took over is called Xingtu Entertainment, which was just acquired by the Chu family some time ago.

Although small, it has all the internal organs. Xingtu has all the departments that an entertainment company should have. Last month, it also signed a group of teenage trainees.

The person Chu Heyan is looking for is called Zhang Mingjie, who graduated from a formal school. He used to be in the same company with Zhu Wenbin. When he first debuted, he played the second male lead in a youth movie and became a little famous.

It stands to reason that his career should be getting better and better, but for some reason, his resources are getting worse and worse, and in the end he can only play supporting roles with slightly more scenes than a minor role. Chu Heyan has read his portfolio. Those supporting roles with relatively complete story lines, although they have fewer scenes, can all leave a deep impression on people. Sometimes it is even difficult to recognize that those roles are played by the same person at once.

Apart from other things, Zhang Mingjie’s acting skills are really good, and he has obviously put a lot of effort in this aspect.

As for the appearance conditions, from Chu Heyan’s personal aesthetic point of view, although he is not as good as his father, his elder brother and Chu Lingyu, he is much better than Zhu Wenbin.

He has regular facial features, a relatively tough look, an angular face, and good bone structure. He is more in line with the public’s traditional aesthetic requirements for men and can withstand many styles of styling.

He is 181 cm tall naked, and his body proportions are also good, without obvious shortcomings.

When there are no special requirements for filming, he will keep his body fit within a healthy range.

He likes fitness, has chest muscles and abdominal muscles, and his muscles are not too exaggerated. He can quickly gain or lose weight in a short period of time for a role.

It can be seen that he is a very self-disciplined and professional actor.

Chu Heyan was quite satisfied with this. After reading the information, he handed it to Chu Lingyu.

Chu Lingyu flipped it open and took a look. The actor in the photo was quite handsome, but he somehow disliked it.

“Do you like this?” Chu Lingyu stared at Zhang Mingjie’s photo and asked.

Chu Heyan didn’t react for a moment: “Huh? What?”

Chu Lingyu raised his eyes and looked at him: “You like Zhang Mingjie’s appearance?”

Chu Heyan looked puzzled: “Why do you ask that? Choosing a spokesperson is not like choosing a concubine. If it is based on my personal aesthetics, I might as well let you go directly.”

He was telling the truth. Chu Lingyu’s appearance can indeed beat most of the male stars in the contemporary entertainment industry.

Zhang Mingjie looked good alone, but he was a little too ordinary compared to Chu Lingyu.

Chu Lingyu heard what he said, not only did he not feel offended, but he was also a little happy.

Chu Heyan noticed his subtle expression change and asked with a smile: “You don’t really want to venture into the entertainment industry yourself, do you?”

“No.” Chu Lingyu refused without hesitation.

Chu Heyan became interested instead. He stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, carefully looking at his handsome face, and said jokingly: “It’s not impossible. With your looks, you can definitely attract a large number of fans with a little packaging. What the domestic entertainment industry lacks most is the type of handsome and aggressive people like you. As long as you keep the status quo and don’t be greasy, maybe you will be the next top star.”

Chu Lingyu was silent, and Chu Heyan continued to paint a rosy picture for him: “Think about it, your small company is not short of money now, but people. When you become popular and bring a few new people out, the company will definitely develop well.”

Chu Lingyu actually didn’t listen to what Chu Heyan said seriously. His eyes were attracted by the other’s lips.

Being too close, the light woody perfume on Chu Heyan’s body also became very noticeable.

Chu Lingyu’s heartbeat suddenly started to speed up, and his ears began to feel hot. He turned his face away and looked out the window, “I’m not going.”

It was the first time that Chu Heyan saw him being shy, and he found it interesting and wanted to tease him again.

The system suddenly interrupted, “Host, in the script, not only is the Real Young Master, you also entered the entertainment industry later.”

Chu Heyan was speechless, [That’s impossible.]

He only liked to watch the show and didn’t like to act for others.

System: “Really, I didn’t lie to you. In the script, you noticed that the Chu family paid more attention to the Real Young Master, and you felt jealous and uneasy, trying desperately to grab something. It happened that one time someone secretly photographed you and posted it on the Internet, and you became an overnight sensation, and then you made your debut. You wanted to use this to prove that you are worthy of being liked by others, and you did gain a large number of fans at the beginning…”

Chu Heyan interrupted it, [Later, because I kept making trouble and destroying myself, I gained a large number of black fans, and was scolded to get out of the entertainment industry every day.]

The system was shocked: “Host, how did you know? Did you peek at the script?”

Chu Heyan: [I also know that the Real Young Master. As a positive contrast, I went against the tide in the entertainment industry. My ugliness set off his integrity and kindness. The worse my acting skills were, the better his acting skills were. In the end, he won three gold awards and gained both fame and fortune, while I, a vase, was disgraced and banned, right?]

The system was really panicked this time: “When did the host sneak a peek at the script! This shouldn’t be the case. The information was obviously not leaked.”

Chu Heyan mocked: [I didn’t read the script, you don’t have to be nervous. I just read a few more novels about real and fake young masters and real and fake daughters in this world. As long as it involves the entertainment industry, it’s all the same routine.

System: “…”

How could it be like this?

Chu Heyan couldn’t help but complain: [Where did you find the third-rate screenwriter? The plot is not original at all. How can such a drama form a small world?]

The system argued unconvinced: “This is only part of the protagonist’s career line, and there is also a love line! The love line is original to the screenwriter, not routine at all, and many viewers like it.”

The love line is original?

In other words, the original love line in the novel was wiped out by the screenwriter, and a new one was added in?

Chu Heyan’s mind was spinning fast, and on the surface he still looked cynical and continued to chat with the system: [So as long as there are many people who like it, a small world can be formed?]

The system suddenly became alert: “Sorry, host, I can’t tell you this. Your task is to complete the plot of the fake young master in the script, don’t break the plot line.”

Chu Heyan smiled and said: [The current plot has deviated a lot from your script. Didn’t you just see it? I advised Chu Lingyu to develop in the entertainment industry, but he didn’t agree anyway.]

System: “You can’t just give up like that. If he doesn’t go, the host can go first. Maybe the plot can be corrected later.”

The car stopped downstairs of Xingtu Entertainment, and Chu Heyan stopped chatting with the system.

He tidied his clothes and went upstairs with Chu Lingyu.

Both of them came to the company for the first time. Seeing their outstanding appearance, other employees mistakenly thought they were new artists that the company had chosen.

People are visual animals. When they see good-looking people, they can’t help but take a few more glances.

After they followed the assistant into the office, the other employees slowly came to their senses and opened their phones and computers to discuss the matter in small groups.

“What a divine look, it’s too beautiful! Could it be that our company is really going to be rich? They even dare to invite such a top beauty to discuss signing a contract?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a handsome boy in real life! He has almond-shaped eyes! He looks so noble, his family must be rich.”

“The other one is also good-looking, so handsome!”

“Well, I wonder if the younger brother has reached adulthood…”

“Our company prohibits internal romance, and our country has a complete criminal law.”

“Is it not okay for me to just think about it? By the way, if the two of them were to hype up a couple, it would definitely be a hit! Our company is really going to be rich!”

Chu Heyan was still thinking about what the system said, and suddenly heard Chu Lingyu whispered in his ear: “What does it mean by hyping up a couple?”

Chu Heyan paused, “Why do you suddenly ask this? What did you hear?”

Chu Lingyu did not hide it either: “Someone is thinking that if the two of us hype up a couple, we will definitely be popular.”

Chu Heyan: “…”

“Which employee doesn’t work properly but thinks about these messy things? You, as the boss, should take care of it.”

After he finished speaking, he went straight to the general manager’s office and met Zhang Mingjie who had been waiting for a long time in the office.

Zhang Mingjie was also obviously stunned when he saw his appearance, then stood up a little stiffly and said, “Hello, I am Zhang Mingjie, an actor under Xingtu.”

Chu Heyan sat down in the general manager’s seat without any courtesy, looked Zhang Mingjie up and down for a moment, and then nodded and said, “Sit down.”

Chu Lingyu came in a step later. He had just checked the meaning of CP hype on the Internet. At this moment, he still felt very uncomfortable and didn’t dare to look at Chu Heyan.

Zhang Mingjie saw two people with outstanding looks in succession, and he felt a little unsure.

If the one just now was the new boss, then what about this one?

He watched Chu Lingyu pull a chair next to Chu Heyan and sit down, excluding the option of artist.

He didn’t look like an assistant or agent, he was too young and too handsome.

The more Zhang Mingjie thought about it, the more confused he became.

Chu Heyan glanced at Chu Lingyu, and saw that Chu Lingyu was very uncomfortable because of what happened just now, but Chu Heyan didn’t feel embarrassed.

The corners of his lips slightly raised, and his tone was not as domineering as usual, but a little gentler: “Zhang Mingjie, I have read your information, and there is no difference between you and the photos and videos, not bad.”

Zhang Mingjie still didn’t understand the situation, so he asked directly: “Thank you. Boss, I wonder what you want to talk to me about today?”

Chu Lingyu: “There is an endorsement, the information is here, take a look.”

The assistant handed the information to Zhang Mingjie, and Zhang Mingjie was shocked after flipping through it. He suddenly looked up at Chu Heyan: “Boss, this…”

Chu Heyan: “Before talking about the endorsement, I have to ask you a few questions. I suggest you don’t lie.”

He has a secret weapon here that is more powerful than a lie detector, which can hear everyone’s thoughts.

Seeing that Chu Lingyu was still a little out of shape, Chu Heyan kicked his chair from below to remind him to talk about business.

Chu Lingyu came back to his senses, and Chu Heyan began to ask: “Tell me about your current relationship status first.”

Although Zhang Mingjie didn’t know what the boss wanted to do, why he suddenly gave such a big endorsement to an ordinary actor with no fame, he still answered Chu Heyan’s question honestly: “Single.”

Chu Lingyu nodded at Chu Heyan, indicating that Zhang Mingjie was telling the truth.

Chu Heyan continued: “Then do you have someone you like or an ambiguous object now?”

Zhang Mingjie shook his head.

Chu Heyan: “What about your bed partner?”

This question was too straightforward, and Zhang Mingjie was stunned.

Chu Lingyu was also shocked. He thought a little unhappily, wouldn’t it be enough to let the assistant do this kind of background check? Why did Chu Heyan come here in person to ask?

At the same time, he heard Zhang Mingjie’s inner voice: [What does the boss mean by this? It can’t be that you want to take advantage of me, right? But, but I…]

“There is no such thing as unspoken rules in our company.” Chu Lingyu couldn’t help but speak, “No matter if there was in the past, from now on, there will be no more, you don’t have to worry.”

Zhang Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: “No, no, I am not in a relationship, I don’t have an ambiguous object, and I don’t have a sexual partner.”

Chu Heyan looked at Chu Lingyu with a smile, his eyes somewhat teasing.

Chu Lingyu turned his face away and avoided his sight.

Chu Heyan continued to ask Zhang Mingjie: “If you suddenly become popular, others think you are blocking their way and want to expose your black material to deal with you, what will you do?”

Zhang Mingjie thought about it seriously, smiled bitterly and said: “Boss, I am at this age, I won’t suddenly become popular, I just want to be a good actor in a down-to-earth manner. As for the black material, when I terminated the contract with the previous company, they had already dug up everything they could. Apart from those fabricated rumors, I have nothing to explain.”

Chu Heyan roughly read through the black material, and there was no principled black spot.

Now listening to Zhang Mingjie’s words, he understood.

With such an overly upright character, it would be difficult for him to survive in the company where Zhu Wenbin works no matter how good his conditions are.

No wonder Zhang Mingjie would rather lose all his assets to terminate the contract.

Paying such a large amount of liquidated damages to leave the leading company in the industry, and then signing with a little-known small company, outsiders must think that he must be crazy to do so.

Chu Heyan began to admire this person. Zhang Mingjie knew very well what he wanted and had enough courage to make choices.

“It’s hard to say whether you will be popular or not. Aren’t there always new people to replace the top stars as soon as one falls? Suppose you are really popular, do you want to continue acting or be a traffic star?” Chu Heyan asked.

Zhang Mingjie still didn’t know why his boss asked him these questions. He answered without much hesitation: “I need good works, but in the current environment of the circle, it is difficult to get good scripts without traffic, so I wonder if we can balance it? Of course, the focus should still be on filming, which is the duty of an actor.”

Chu Heyan nodded, “You will be popular. You can take a look at this endorsement first, don’t rush to give an answer, and reconsider it after a while.”

He asked his assistant to send him out, and only he and Chu Lingyu were left in the office.

“Just now when I asked Zhang Mingjie if he had a bed partner, he suspected that I was going to take advantage of him?” Chu Heyan looked at Chu Lingyu and asked.

Chu Lingyu did not deny it, but just said: “There are too many such things in the circle, so he would think too much.”

Chu Heyan smiled and said: “I know, I’m not angry, why are you angry?”

Chu Lingyu couldn’t answer, and he couldn’t explain why he was angry.

He even felt that his mood changed too much today, which was a bit abnormal.

But recently, he slept with Chu Heyan, and he got enough sleep and didn’t have a headache anymore, so it shouldn’t affect his mood.

Chu Heyan didn’t get an answer, and didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject: “I’m somewhat interested in your company now. How about this? I invest 20 million and manage the company with you. What do you think?”

Chu Lingyu: “Are you interested in the company or in Zhang Mingjie?”

Chu Heyan smiled and said, “Is it okay if I say both?”
