The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 104 Jiang Peiyao's Feelings
Bai Xin laughed exaggeratedly, never expecting that before even becoming a big star, her status was already higher than that of a star.

This is generally how entertainment industry rankings are done.

Minor stars, major stars, directors, producers, big investors, entertainment industry bosses, and those who set the rules of the entertainment industry.

Arrange them in order from top to bottom.

She was in the second row, and the director would always laugh whenever he saw her.

Not to mention the small investors.

Its position is far ahead.

A two million annual salary is very high.

At least for someone her age, a two million annual salary would absolutely put her ahead of more than 90% of her peers.

Jiang Peiyao has gained a completely new understanding of her cousin-in-law.

Back in my rural hometown, everyone knew that money was important.

No one knows exactly how many.

After arriving in the capital, she discovered that the older brother who had always protected her cousin was no longer there.

He's already a bigwig in the catering, beauty and wellness, fruit market, and entertainment industry.

It's incredible.

She still vividly remembers the first time Chen Pingsheng brought meat to her older cousin's house for the Chinese New Year.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and he has gone from being that country boy to a well-known figure in the entertainment industry in Beijing.

I had many feelings at that time.

Time flies by.

Before she knew it, half a month had passed since Jiang Peiyao started her internship at Tengying. During this time, she had gained a fairly clear understanding of Tengying.

Their main business is investment, and they only have Zhao Liying as their core female artist.

It's still the kind of independent studio that offers a very high degree of freedom.

She can choose whatever endorsements or TV series she wants to take.

Tengying's main responsibility is to invest money. The biggest change in the past two weeks is...

That's about the Tencent Film Artist Training Program; the selection process is scheduled to begin at the end of April.

Most of those who signed up were newcomers to the entertainment industry, and a small number were aspiring internet celebrities.

A+ rated female-centric dramas are still very appealing.

Aside from having two meals with her cousin-in-law at the beginning, Jiang Peiyao had hardly seen him in the past two weeks.

According to Bai Xin, the uncle owns more than just this one company.

There are several other shops outside, so they're usually very busy.

She still saw the big news about her cousin-in-law on the news.

The eighth day of April.

Shuiyunjian rented an old junior high school in Shijingshan that had been abandoned for two years for an annual rent of 1600 million yuan.

The lease was for ten years, and another 30 million was invested to renovate this long-established junior high school.

It was officially named Shuiyunjian Beauty Academy.

The school is investing 50 million yuan, and two of its three buildings will be converted into dormitories for senior staff.

One building was converted into a teaching building.

Shuiyunjian Beauty Academy is expected to be officially put into use before July.

The online recruitment program has now begun.

Four more Shuiyunjian hotels will open at the end of April, and one of them is located nearby.

Jiang Peiyao also went to see it, and the store with an investment of tens of millions was indeed a bit too high-end.

Even before it officially opened, employees were already receiving training inside.

The 150 beauticians who had been trained at the villa for six months, including the management team, were all assigned to these four stores.

The purpose is to get used to the work environment in advance and to smooth out all the procedures.

Thanks to the fact that they were still conducting training during this period, Jiang Peiyao and Bai Xin would be pulled over to be little models in the evenings.

When Jiang Peiyao was first taken there, it was just a facial treatment. She wasn't too nervous.

The second one was the chest.

She was so nervous she almost died. Although she was a girl, she had never experienced health and beauty treatments before, and she was still quite frightened and blushed.

All the techniques were very smooth.

She kept wanting to go to the toilet and blushed all night.

Bai Xin laughed at her, saying that she still wanted to be a big star. Which big star doesn't get regular skincare? It's just that Shuiyunjian is owned by her cousin-in-law. Otherwise, with her current income, she wouldn't even dare to step inside.

Sit down and have a cup of tea; the tea leaves are all priced at least several thousand yuan per kilogram.

The treatment the beautician just did for her would have cost at least 3,980 yuan.

Jiang Peiyao was startled.

She was so nervous that she didn't really experience it properly, and she didn't expect to just press the product like that.

It's so expensive.

Bai Xin also told him that the lowest price for Shuiyunjian was 3980.

While they're still open for business and need models to assess their techniques every day, make the most of this opportunity.

Once they actually open, maybe I should ask the older man for a card; even with her two million annual salary, she couldn't afford it.

Jiang Peiyao didn't know what to say, but she just thought to herself, no wonder her cousin-in-law's younger sister, Chen Qi.

With the dividends from a 25% stake in Shuiyunjian, one could easily buy two large houses in Beijing outright.

This cost is shockingly high.

Later, she experienced an even more blush-inducing buttock treatment.

Jiang Peiyao worked as a model at Shuiyunjian a few times, which really broadened her horizons.

No wonder those wealthy women take such good care of themselves and look so much younger than their peers; they've all spent a fortune on it.

The four Shuiyunjian locations are confirmed to open on the 28th of this month.

The beauticians there have all undergone six months of training in advance, and their professional skills, if not far ahead, are certainly outstanding.

My cousin's husband is also busy with more than just this one thing; there's big news coming out about Tengsheng Fruits and Boiling Sheep.

Jiang Peiyao felt that her cousin's husband had a tough time, having to take care of her pregnant cousin every day while also being busy with work.

He continuously pushes his companies forward.

Although he didn't come to Tengying in person, he had been keeping an eye on the situation.

During this time, she also met Zhao Liying once. Zhao Liying treated her very well and even invited her to dinner alone.

She knew this was out of respect for her cousin-in-law; otherwise, why would a big star like him invite a newbie like her to dinner?

Zhao Liying also took time out of her busy schedule to pay attention to the artist training class. The treatment that Tengying gave her was unprecedented in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, Chen Pingsheng personally called her and asked her to find a way to bring one or two more people out.

Of course, nothing is brought up for nothing; those who are brought out will all be displayed under her own studio.

Zhao Liying didn't care too much about these things; she still remembered Chen Pingsheng's kindness to her.

It's a pity that Jiang Peiyao doesn't even have the most basic acting skills, otherwise I would have mentored her.

She will only begin to formally mentor her after she has undergone a year or two of intensive training in seclusion.

As for the 30-to-29 elimination class of artists, Zhao Liying thinks this method is quite good.

The entertainment industry has never relied on a large number of people, but rather on a few individuals who can truly stand on their own.

She believed that Brother Chen must have thought the same way, otherwise they wouldn't have eliminated so many people that only one person was left.

Time flies, and it's already late April.

Jiang Peiyao met her cousin-in-law again at Tengying.

And they have already been training at Tencent Film Studio for almost a month.

From knowing nothing to now understanding how to be an actor.

It can be said that there were many difficulties.
