Chapter 281: The Struggle of Beauty Yang

Lehman Cafe was located in the bustling commercial area of the East Lake tourist district, surrounded by many high-end office buildings. The price of coffee was not low; the cheapest cup cost more than thirty yuan. Therefore, the people who came here to spend money were generally not poor.

The consumer group was mainly composed of elites working in the nearby office buildings, including some high-level executives of companies, and even company bosses and shareholders.

For nearly two months, she would go to Lehman Cafe every few days for a cup of coffee and sit there for one or two hours. Her purpose was to attract the attention of the male elites among these consumer groups.

And it worked. Relying on her good looks, every time she came to sit and drink coffee, at least one or two men would come over to strike up a conversation. At most, she had encountered five or six men trying to chat her up in just one hour.

Unfortunately, among these men, the oldest was over sixty, and the youngest was only seventeen or eighteen. Those of a similar age were mostly plain-looking.

Even if there were some with good looks and conversation skills, based on her experience of being coveted by many men over the years, most of them had bad intentions.

Of course, in these nearly two months, she had also selected a few candidates in her mind. Currently, they were all just ordinary friends, and she had not made any further, more in-depth contact.

There was only one that she was more optimistic about because he was an investment manager at a branch of a multinational company nearby. He claimed to have an annual salary of over a million, and he was not very old, only twenty-seven this year. He also had experience studying abroad, and he was quite good-looking, with a height of over 1.8 meters.

Because she was more optimistic about him, after this investment manager contacted and invited her several times, she still went out with him for two meals, one a seemingly romantic French meal, and the other an Italian meal.

Then, she sensitively discovered that this investment manager was not a good person either. The second time he invited her to dinner, he intentionally tried to get her drunk and even tried to make physical contact.

In addition, she secretly checked the company where this man worked through online contact information and found that his so-called multinational branch was just a company in name only, with a total of less than ten employees. Among them, there were five with the title of investment manager.

It was clear that this was very likely a scam company, and this person was undoubtedly a scammer.

So, she directly exposed his lies on WeChat, and then of course she blacklisted him.

She just didn’t expect this person to not give up on her and keep pestering her. That night, he found Lehman Cafe and tried to entangle her, and it just so happened that Chen Feng came across them and helped her out.

When she met Chen Feng that day, she initially thought that Chen Feng was also trying to hit on her. She was not surprised by this. Then, through some observation, she felt that Chen Feng should just be an ordinary office worker in a nearby office building. Although his monthly salary might be over ten thousand, it did not meet her fishing requirements.

So, at that time, she didn’t pay much attention to Chen Feng.

It was only later that she saw that Chen Feng had really mistaken her for someone else, and was not deliberately trying to hit on her. Moreover, he ignored her afterwards, which made her feel a little indignant and dissatisfied, so she would glance at Chen Feng’s side from time to time.

Seeing him chatting and laughing happily with the woman at the same table, she felt a little angry in her heart, so she had the impulse to deliberately raise her cup to him. The purpose was of course to get back at him and let the woman who might be on a blind date with him misunderstand.

Unfortunately, from the woman’s reaction, her simple trick of sowing discord had failed.

It was not until Chen Feng came to her rescue and even sent her back to school, and was cold to her throughout the whole process, and did not even ask for her contact information, that she felt a great sense of frustration.

So much so that for the past few days, she had not gone to the few high-end consumer places she had selected to continue waiting for a rabbit, but had instead focused on finding a job.

And then, today she came to Fengmang Film and Television for an interview.

At that time, she had already passed the initial screening of this company and was waiting for a personal interview with the administrative and personnel manager. She was sitting in a rest area or a guest area near the public office area, which was a partitioned area of about ten square meters. There were some chairs, a small round table, a newspaper and magazine rack, and a water dispenser.

She was waiting there, holding a paper cup and drinking water, waiting for the interview with several other interviewees. She had no intention of communicating with them. The whole time, she was either drinking water or browsing her phone.

Then, she heard a sudden noise from the public office area. The employees there greeted “Hello, boss,” “Hello, boss.”

And then, she saw Chen Feng. The boss they were calling was him!

They had just met a few days ago and had spoken together. She had even been in his car. It was impossible to mistake him.

Chen Feng was the man who had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with her at Lehman Cafe a few days ago, and later helped her out and drove her back to school.

And he was actually the boss of this Fengmang Film and Television!

She had already checked some background information about this company before coming for the interview. In this era of online information, and since she had graduated with a major in news and broadcasting, it was certainly not difficult to check the information of the company she was interviewing for.

She knew that the predecessor of Fengmang Company was Xinyao Film and Television, and before Xinyao Film and Television was sold, its market value was over 100 million at its peak.

And now, the general manager of Fengmang Film and Television, Lu Sijia, was the former general manager of Zijin Teng Culture Media, who had successfully produced the hit “Immortal Fate Dream.”

So, from all the information she had found, Fengmang Film and Television was a film and television company with strong capital and good development prospects.

Otherwise, she would not have come for the interview, and she had also made sufficient preparations.

Previously, she had been tempted by the position of media editor at Fengmang Film and Television, but now that she knew that Chen Feng was the boss of this company, she was even more tempted.

Because it seemed that Chen Feng was the most suitable target she had met so far, a target that could completely change her destiny and let her live the life of a rich person.

She didn’t rush to pursue Chen Feng, because her last experience let her know that Chen Feng didn’t seem to be very interested in her. But she would never believe that Chen Feng was completely indifferent to a great beauty like her, unless he was not a normal man, but gay.

And last time Chen Feng went to Lehman Cafe and mistook her for someone else. From his words and actions afterwards, he was probably on a blind date at that time. That is to say, he was still single at the moment.

So, she felt that she still had a chance. But first, she had to successfully join this Fengmang Film and Television.

So, she braced herself with 120% spirit and waited for the interview to come.

About ten minutes later, it was finally her turn for the interview. The interview lasted for no more than five or six minutes. Facing a few rather tricky questions from the personnel manager, she felt that her answers were quite good.

She was also quite confident in her professional skills in media editing, and she was not even afraid of on-the-spot operations. This was also an aspect she had been quite proud of in her four years of university.

Her grades in some theoretical courses in the news major were not very good, but she was quite proficient in some related skills, such as video editing and new media soft article writing. She was not the best, but at least she was above the passing line.

After the interview, although the personnel manager did not decide to hire her on the spot, he also said that he would give her a reply before tomorrow, which was undoubtedly a good sign. Otherwise, it would be waiting for a notice to go back.

In fact, not long after she went back, before noon, she received a call from Fengmang Film and Television, asking her to start work tomorrow.

This made her very happy. One was that she finally had a job and could support herself, especially since she could finally move out of the school dormitory.

The aunt in charge of the dormitory had urged her several times, and her attitude was getting worse each time, which made her feel very tormented these days and also let her experience the cold and cruel side of social reality.

The other, of course, was that she could get close to Chen Feng, the best target she could meet at present.

Unfortunately, she was going to be disappointed.

First, the next morning when she went to the company to report, the administrative and personnel manager personally took her to the artist department manager’s office. Then, Hu Rui asked her if she wanted to be an artist, an actress? She was so beautiful and had an outstanding temperament. She could be trained to be an actress, an artist, a star.

This surprise, Yang Wenqi had not expected at all before she came.

In fact, the reason why she was hired this time was not because she was very competent for the position of media editor, but because she was beautiful. Then the administrative and personnel manager, Xu Haixia, who was in charge of her interview, recommended her to Hu Rui. Hu Rui was overjoyed when she saw her information and photos.

A beauty of Yang Wenqi’s level was really rare, especially since she had graduated from Xiuzhou University. Although it was only a second-tier university, it was quite rare in the entertainment industry. Many famous artists in the entertainment industry did not have high academic qualifications. To put it simply, their cultural course scores were generally very poor. For these art students, a score of 400 in the college entrance examination was considered a very high score. Generally, they could only score two or three hundred points.

And the diplomas of those drama academies, film academies, or art academies, except for one or two with national titles, the gold content of the rest of the diplomas was very low, and there was too much water. This can be seen from the Zhai Tianlin incident back then.

Therefore, a diploma from a second-tier university like Xiuzhou University was really very powerful for those artists in the entertainment industry.

In Hu Rui’s eyes, Yang Wenqi was a good seedling with both beauty and wisdom. She was still a pure amateur now. It wouldn’t cost much to sign her. In the future, with a little training, as long as her acting skills were not really hopeless, she could slowly become popular by playing vase roles in some film and television dramas.

At least, if she was signed, the company would definitely not lose money.

Yang Wenqi had encountered similar scouts and agents who wanted to introduce her to shoot commercials or sign contracts before, but she was not interested at that time. She had thought about being a host, but she had not thought about being an actress, because she felt that she knew nothing about acting, and it was not what she liked.

Also, she was afraid of being deceived. After all, everyone knows that the water in the entertainment industry is very deep, and there is never a shortage of scammers and bad people.

Of course, the most important thing was that her family was rich at that time, and she was not short of money.

And now, Hu Rui offered the conditions: a basic monthly salary of 5,000, including food and accommodation. In addition, there were special teachers to train her, including training in all aspects of body shape and acting. There were also various allowances and subsidies, and even bonuses. More importantly, the company currently only had 5 signed artists, and one of them had a contract that was about to expire, and the company would not renew it.

If she joined the company, the company would promote her. In the future, a single drama would earn at least hundreds of thousands or millions. If she became famous, a random commercial would be tens of millions.

And it just so happened that the company was about to start a new drama. If she trained hard and her acting skills were qualified, she could get a role in this TV series.

After Hu Rui’s persuasion, and with Xu Haixia telling her the truth, the position of media editor was not her best choice. If she refused Hu Rui’s side, then she would not be able to work in this company.

This was obviously unacceptable to her, who was now on the verge of poverty. What’s more, she was still thinking of coming to this company to fish for Chen Feng, this golden turtle.

So, Yang Wenqi only hesitated for a few minutes, struggled in her heart for a few minutes, and then agreed to sign with Fengmang Film and Television as an artist.

This made both Hu Rui and Xu Haixia quite satisfied. They had finally found a very good seedling for the company, and had thoroughly implemented the boss’s instructions at yesterday’s meeting. This was also their initial work achievement since taking office.

Thus, Yang Wenqi became a signed artist of Fengmang Film and Television. First, she began some related artist training courses. Hu Rui was still quite experienced in this aspect.

However, Yang Wenqi had been working in the company for more than ten days, but she had never seen the boss, Chen Feng, appear again.

This day, she finally couldn’t help but find an opportunity to ask Xin Yuqing, who was more popular in the company. The two were both alumni of Xiuzhou University, and Xin Yuqing was her junior. She was still in her third year of university, but her major was relatively free. Basically, she came out for internships or work in her third year, and she was no exception.

The two were alumni, and they were both beauties. After getting to know each other, they quickly hit it off.

Yang Wenqi pretended to be curious and asked Xin Yuqing for information about the company’s boss. Then she learned from her that the boss, Chen Feng, was a hands-off boss. Basically, he would not come over unless there was something important in the company.

Hearing this news, Yang Wenqi was quite depressed.

She had originally thought that she could get the moon first by being near the water, but it turned out that the boss, Chen Feng, was like this. He didn’t come to the company for ten days or half a month. How could she have a chance to get close to him?

But now she had no good way, and could only continue to wait in the company.

And Chen Feng didn’t know that his company had actually signed this “acquaintance” Yang Wenqi. He had been living a very comfortable life at home for the past ten days.

When there was something to do, he would let his women do it. When there was nothing to do, he would do his women.

And whether it was Wu Mengting, Sun Xiaorui, or Liu Ying, after they started working, the spirit of each of them became more abundant. Especially Liu Ying, who had previously looked like a canary asking to be kept, but after starting work, she had the posture and style of a career woman. She even didn’t take the initiative to tempt him to spend the night for several days.

This change, for now, was more beneficial than harmful to him, so he had no intention of correcting it.
