Chapter 118 - End and Beginning
Bang!
A valuableYixing purple teapot fell heavily to the ground, and instantly smashed topieces, fragnts flying everywhere.
When the beautifulsecretary, who is sitting outside the manager’s room, heard the sound, shecould not help but turn her head and look through the door. She saw her boss’sangry face, and she could not help but be startled by his twisted grim look.
The femalesecretary hurriedly turned her head, sat upright and pretended to be busy so asnot to be found being lazy and used as a scapegoat.
It seemsthat her boss is in a very bad mood these days.
She had beenscolded several tis and felt that the position under her buttocks is almost unstable.(TN: She feels she will be fired soon.)
Her job isstill very good, at least she can see stars every day.
At thismont, Jin Hongwei, who was inside the room, doesn’t know the small thoughtsof the company’s new female secretary.
He hadnowhere to vent his anger. Blue veins were protruding on his forehead. His facewas flushed, an obvious sign of an increase in blood pressure. After smashingthe purple teapot, he was finally relieved.
Status andenvironnt can change people’s temperant, and practices can change people’sphysique. After sitting on the position of the general manager of Juxing AgencyCompany for such a long ti, Jin Hongwei has cast a tenacious will early on.He’s easy to be outwardly happy and angry, but he rarely gets furious.
But in thepast two days, he has encountered unprecedented frustration, feeling even worsethan when Tan Hong filed a lawsuit with him to terminate the contract.
The cause ofthe matter is actually a small new singer.
Lu Chen!
This nahas been chewed many tis in Jin Hongwei’s mouth recently. And every ti itis ntion, he gnashes his teeth.
Lu Chenfirst refused his goodwill and refused to sign a contract with Juxing Company.
Then afterbeing eliminated from the competition "Super Singer", he once againignored his solicitation, and was extrely stubborn.
Such a newcor,Jin Hongwei has seen less and less in recent years. Most of the newcors knowthe strength of the Juxing Company, and no one dares to give him attitude infront of him. They all obediently kneel down and beg for share.
In thebright, well-known entertainnt industry with both fa and wealth, few youngpeople can withstand the temptation to enter it.
JinHongwei’s strength and connections make him almost unstoppable in terms ofdigging people! (TN: Digging = poaching)
However, hehas run into a wall twice with Lu Chen.
So, he hasrun into a wall. Jin Hongwei didn’t particularly care. Anyway, he got hisrevenge. Three-legged toad is not easy to find, but handso n with two legsare everywhere in Beijing! (TN: Just ans Lu Chen is not that unique)
Jin Hongweisoon discovered Ling Xiaoxiao. After the latter signed a contract with JuxingCompany, he was instantly held up.
Jin Hongweisotis wonder that if Lu Chen knew that he had lost a shortcut to fa, wouldhe regret it very much, and would he want to turn back and ask for hisforgiveness. And would he give him another chance?
It turnedout that he was wrong, completely wrong.
After beingeliminated on "Super Singer", Lu Chen not only did not disappear, but instead stoodout in Beijing Satellite TV’s "Singing China" competition, and wonthe top 16 with his outstanding original works.
Not onlythat, the three songs Lu Chen wrote to the Wandering band have been all on theChina Music Charts and the song "In Spring" has been the number one for twoconsecutive weeks!
Suchoutstanding talent, really can throw Ling Xiaoxiao three blocks!
LingXiaoxiao was brought up by Jin Hongwei. What is his background? Jin Hongweinaturally knew it clearly.
When JinHongwei began to regret, his evil behind-the-scenes suppression against Lu Chenwas unexpectedly revealed!
The insidestory exposure appearing on the Inspur blog gave Jin Hongwei a feeling of beingnaked or having his body exposed in broad daylight, and the leaked auditionvideo was more like a thunderbolt from the blue, which stunned him.
How did suchthings leak out?
Years ofintuition tells Jin Hongwei’s that he seems to be caught in a trap.
Otherwise,there would be no such coincidence!
But as for wholaid the trap, Jin Hongwei has no idea.
Because hehas too many enemies.
ThenXiangnan Satellite TV and the "Super Singer" program team apologizedto Lu Chen, admitted their mistake, punished the people concerned, and so on.Zhang Xiaoan was removed from his post and got suspended from his work. ChenZhenni and Zhuang Hao are all out!
These three can be said Jin Hongwei’s connection. It can also be said that he was the one that pitted them.
Of course, Jin Hongwei is sowhat wronged. It was originally a matter of "Dead n tell no tale"1. Who would have thought that the recorded video would be stolen and dispersed outside and led to this storm?
As a result, Jin Hongwei himself fell into big trouble.
Xiangnan Satellite TV’s attitude towards him beca cold. Several high-level leaders refused to answer his phone calls. His partner, Chengtian Entertainnt2 was very dissatisfied. There were even discordant voices within the Juxing Company.
Although thesituation has not yet reached its worst point, with his connections, there isalways a way to restore the broken relationship. And when things are over, everythingwill return back to the way it used to be.
However, hemust pay a high price. Moreover, his reputation in the circle has been greatly affected.
Just now,Zhang Xiaoan called him, shouting for an explanation.
What can heexplain to the drowning dog? Of course, he avoided his responsibilities, onlyto be torn and scolded by the latter.
How can JinHongwei be in a good mood like this?
He hated LuChen to the bone.
This matter won’tend that easily, and if he doesn’t get his place back, he’ll have no face toshow in the circle in the future.
Wait and see!
Afterthinking about it, Jin Hongwei picked up his phone, look through his contactsto find a long-ti contact number and made a call.
.......
Ringring ~
Sitting onthe second floor of KFC restaurant, Lu Chen took out his cell phone in hispocket and answered it.
Theafternoon sun shone through the window on his right arm, giving him a littlehot feeling.
The personwho called Lu Chen was Wang Jing of Nirvana Studio, who asked for his opinion onthe arrangent style of a song. After all, this is Lu Chen’s own album, and heshould respect his opinion first.
Lu Chen’sdebut album has been under intense production at Nirvana Studio. Recently, hehas been going to Nirvana Studios almost every day to help complete therecording of soundtrack and singing.
An excellentalbum needs to be polished with care and ti.
After endinghis conversation with Wang Jing, Lu Chen looked up and saw a familiar face.
"ChenXin!"
This KFCrestaurant is where Lu Chen used to work, and Chen Xin is his colleague.
"LuChen, I just heard Xiao Zhang say you’re back..."
Chen Xin,dressed in the uniform of a restaurant staff, was very happy: "I saw youon TV last Friday. The song you sang in that competition was so good. Severalcolleagues saw it."
Chen Xin’sface was filled with joy of having eting him after a long ti, but there wasnothing else.
She once hada favorable impression on Lu Chen. It is just that there is no ambiguousrelationship between the two, and with Lu Chen’s resignation and departure, thatsentint disappeared with ti.
Seeing LuChen on TV, Chen Xin knew that they belonged to different worlds, with nopossibility of them being together.
So, seeing LuChen again, she feels like she’s eting a long-separated friend.
"Whydid you co back here?"
Lu Chensmiled and said, "I specifically ca to look for you..."
"Ah?"
Chen Xin’sheart jumped and she couldn’t help but sat down opposite Lu Chen: "Whatare you looking for for?"
At this tiin the afternoon during weekend, there would not be a lot of guests. Therefore,she could have a chat with Lu Chen. However, the ti can’t be too long, otherwisethe manager will find it is necessary to deduct wages.
"Here’sthe thing..."
Lu Chen said,"I recently opened a studio and asked my sister to co over and help .She is looking for a work assistant. I wonder if you would like to work with ?"
Lu Xi hadalready ntioned to Lu Chen that she needed an assistant and office clerk. Sheasked that the other party must be a woman, young but not the attractive type,good-natured, hard-working and willing to learn.
At thatti, Lu Chen imdiately thought of Chen Xin.
Lu Chen andChen Xin were colleagues for almost a year. He knows that she is from Sichuan.Although her school record is not high, she has a good character and is veryhardworking, and she doesn’t make many idle talks with other.
Sheperfectly ets Lu Xi’s requirents.
The onlything that makes Lu Chen feel a little awkward was Chen Xin’s affection for him.
When heresigned at that ti, the scene where Chen Xin chased after him was stillfresh in his mory, so he didn’t want to get into trouble.
This ti hehappened to buy sothing and pass by KFC, and thought he’d co in.
Seeing ChenXin again, and looking at the other party’s expression, Lu Chen understand thatshe had really put aside her feelings.
Then there’sno problem.
As for LuChen’s invitation, Chen Xin was very surprised: "You’re asking to be anassistant?"
Lu Chensmiled and said, "That’s right. My sister’s assistant. She’s also thestudio manager and my agent."
Chen Xinunderstood, and she asked a little embarrassed: "I didn’t go to college,can I do it?"
Lu Chen saidseriously, "If you don’t understand sothing, you can learn it. In fact,my sister is also learning new things, even ."
"Aslong as you are willing to study hard, then I am sure there will be noproblem!"
Chen Xin is still a little unconfident: "I am willing to learn; I am just afraid I will not be able to learn well."
Lu Chen said, "If you’re willing to learn, you can do it. In terms of salary, it’s the base salary of 3, 000 yuan, plus the five social insurances and one housing fund3. In addition to the bonuses and benefits, the allowance for board and lodging is 500 yuan."
Lu Chen’s salaryfor her is based on KFC’s standard, which is almost the sa except for bonusesand benefits.
A highersalary is not impossible, but not necessary.
But if ChenXin doesn’t want to, it will not matter.
Chen Xin bither lip and resolutely said, "Then I’ll try it!"
Lu Chen saidwith a smile, "You don’t have to agree so quickly. It’s not too late tothink about it before telling ."
Chen Xinshook her head and said, "No, I’ve made up my mind. I don’t want to dothis job anymore."
Lu Chen wasa little surprised, but was imdiately relieved: "Welco to the Lu Chenstudio!"
He extendedhis hand to Chen Xin.
Chen Xinsmiled, shook his hand and soon let go.
It was theirfirst shakehands.
