Chapter 141 - Breaking One's Boat
It's notover yet!
Wen Zhiyua.n.a.lmost smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand toward the door - Could youlet Laozi be in peace? (TN: not bother him or let him be alone.)
He took adeep breath and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."
Ever since hesat in this position, Wen Zhiyuan felt that he had become a shrinking turtle.There was a bunch of mothers-in-law pointing fingers, and a group of proudsoldiers that went their own way. He was stuck in the middle of both sides.(TN: Shrinking Turtle: He became an extremely timid person. Mother-in-law means(curse word) for someone who is in higher position.)
For him tobe alive until now without his blood vessel bursting, he must have burned30,000 jin of incense in his previous life!
The door wasgently pushed open and a thin middle-aged man came in with a girl with aponytail.
"h.e.l.lo,Director Wen…"
Themiddle-aged man came in, nodded and bowed to greet him, with a flattering smileon his dark face, which was wrinkled like an orange peel.
At the sametime, the girl with him also bowed to greet him: "Director Wen, I'm sorryfor disturbing you."
Seeing thesetwo instead of the former two lords, Wen Zhiyuan was greatly relieved.
He stretchedout his hand and beckoned the two, smiled and said, "You're welcome. Sitdown. There's water in the fridge."
Themiddle-aged man hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
He walkedquickly over to open the refrigerator in the corner and took out two bottles ofchilled mineral water.
One bottlewas first delivered to Wen Zhiyuan's table, and the other was handed to theponytail girl who had just sat down.
Wen Zhiyuanlikes to drink chilled mineral water. As they all know, the bottle in his handhas been emptied.
The respect ofthe other party made Wen Zhiyuan show a sincere smile.
Themiddle-aged man, named Li Zhigao, is one of his agents who changed to this joblate in his life. (TN: Another translation is "switch to a job one was nottrained for")
Among themany agents at EMI Brokerage Company, Li Zhigao belongs to the lowest level. Hehas not been in the industry for a long time, and he does not have any personalconnection in the circle, so he can only bring ordinary newcomers.
The ponytailgirl he brought is called Tang Qiaoqiao. She is 19 years old, 1.65 meters tall,with big eyes and oval face, and has good looks. She was one of the top ten contestantson a talent show last year.
After EMI BrokerageCompany signed her up, they trained her in just over half a year. So far, she'sjust a small artist who is getting small notices. Only few people called out toher when she walked down the street.
In recentyears, there have been too many artists coming out of talent shows. With theexception of a few lucky ones, most of them are similar to Tang Qiaoqiao, andmany even have dropped out of the entertainment industry and returned to theiroriginal lives.
Thecompet.i.tion in this industry is really fierce!
TangQiaoqiao was someone insignificant among the artists who has made their debutin the company, so she was thrown to Li Zhigao.
Wen Zhiyuanstill has a good impression on Li Zhigao. Although the other party's ability isnot good, he has a lot of respect for himself, and he was willing to work hard.
If his subordinateswere people like Li Zhigao, he would be sitting comfortably.
It is forthis reason that Wen Zhiyuan was willing to take care of the other party underappropriate circ.u.mstances.
He asked kindly,"Old Li, what brings you here with Qiaoqiao?"
Li Zhigaosat on the sofa with half his b.u.t.t, and asked cautiously, "Director Wen, Iheard that you are going to invite Lu Chen, the champion of "Singing China", fora voice test, aren't you?"
Un?
Wen Zhiyuanwas stupefied. Not many people knew about it. Where did Li Zhigao hear it?
However,when he saw the look on his face, he understood.
It must havebeen Zhang Qiong, that stinky woman, who spread the news to everyone the momentshe stepped outside his office, intentionally hitting him in the face. As aresult, even Li Zhigao knew it1!
Flame ofanger was ignited in Wen Zhiyuan's heart, which is not appropriate to vent on toLi Zhigao.
He sighedand said, "Yes, now Lu Chen and his people are in the reception roomoutside, but Zhang Qiong insisted on looking for other people, so now, I do notknow how to explain to him."
