Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 134 Female Artists of Galaxy Media

December in Yanjing is getting colder and colder!
The cold wind swirled with fine snowflakes, stinging people's faces.

Yang Chaoyue stood in front of Xinghe Media's building, looking up at the towering glass curtain wall, her breath quickly dissipating in the cold wind.

She looked down at her faded cotton-padded coat and then touched the brand-new employee badge in her pocket, feeling both nervous and excited.

Last month, she was eating instant noodles in that small company with peeling paint and intermittent heating, and now she is about to step into this magnificent building.

Meituan, Alibaba, Douyin...

Galaxy Media!

"Hello, please swipe your card."

The security guard at the entrance was dressed in a crisp uniform, and spoke politely but distantly.

Yang Chaoyue frantically pulled out her employee ID card, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She froze the moment the elevator doors opened.

The high-ceilinged lobby is bright and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the bustling Wangjing CBD.

The walls on both sides of the corridor have been transformed into a light and shadow exhibition hall, with autographed posters of the main actors of "Go Go Squid!" gleaming with a metallic sheen, storyboard manuscripts and character illustrations of "Qing Qing's Daily Life" arranged in a well-organized manner, and various behind-the-scenes photos of "Better Days".

In several live-streaming rooms, female anchors with exquisite makeup were trying on lipsticks and chatting about outfits in front of the camera, while assistants shuttled back and forth carrying clothes and cosmetics.

In the distance, several trainees were practicing in the dance studio, and the sound of music could be faintly heard.

Yang Chaoyue stood there blankly, suddenly feeling that her old cotton-padded coat was out of place.

"Are you new here too?" A clear voice suddenly rang out from above.

Yang Chaoyue turned her head and saw a girl with a high ponytail standing behind her. Underneath her light gray hoodie was a slender figure, and she estimated that she was at least 176 cm tall.

The other person smiled, revealing two prominent canine teeth: "I'm Zhang Yifan! Hello!"

Yang Chaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded: "Hello, Yang Chaoyue."

Holy crap, how is this guy so tall!
She is publicly stated to be 168 cm tall, but she is actually only about 163 cm tall.

Standing next to Zhang Yifan, she appeared exceptionally petite.

I'm under a lot of pressure!
The two newcomers seemed to have found their tribe, and they tacitly huddled together, sitting in the corner of the conference room.

Bottled water was placed on the table, with the Xinghe Media logo affixed to the bottle.

Zhang Yifan whispered, "I just finished filming 'Better Days,' and Director Gu said there's a team meeting today. I'm so nervous..."

Just as Yang Chaoyue was about to reply, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

"Borrowed, borrowed."

A cloyingly sweet greeting, accompanied by the clatter of high heels.

She wore a pink fur coat over a tight-fitting mini skirt that barely covered her thighs, and stiletto heels, making her look like a meticulously dressed doll.

"Hello, Sister Zhao!"

Zhang Yifan quickly stood up to greet her. She had done her homework and knew that this was also a newly signed artist of the company this year, although she had already acted in several dramas.

He's a senior, after all.

"Hello, Sister Zhao..." Yang Chaoyue hurriedly got up and greeted her as well.

She doesn't know them at all, but just keep calling out to her!

Zhao Lusi glanced at them, then pointed to the back row with her red-nailed fingers: "The newcomers sit in the back."

After saying that, she turned and left, her perfume smelling so strong it was almost pungent.

Halfway there, she turned back and looked Yang Chaoyue up and down at her faded cotton-padded coat: "Little sister, this coat is quite retro. Did you get it at a discounted price on Pinduoduo?"

Zhang Yifan clenched his fists in anger, but Yang Chaoyue laughed: "Sister Zhao, this fur coat looks really expensive. I just heard that animal protection organizations are cracking down hard these days, so you'd better be careful not to crash."

"Humph!"

Zhao Lusi's face instantly fell, and she slammed down in her high heels onto the front row, making the chair thud.

After the two sat down again, Zhang Yifan lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid she'll make things difficult for you?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Yang Chaoyue unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a big gulp. "We're bound to fall out here sooner or later. Do you want to be a doormat for the rest of your life?"

"At worst, I'll just go back to using a sewing machine!"

The frosted glass door clicked open, and a woman in a camel-colored wool coat stepped inside.

The knee-length coat has a clean cut and is paired with nude pointed-toe shoes, making it both elegant and capable.

Her slightly wavy long hair fell casually, and her earth-toned makeup made her eyebrows and eyes look gentle and elegant. The delicate diamond necklace and watch around her neck were faintly visible under the light, and every move she made exuded a calm and composed aura.

She was carrying several documents in her hand, talking quietly with her assistant as she walked. Her voice was gentle and soft, yet somehow it made people dare not underestimate her.

"Zhang Ruonan!" Zhang Yifan exclaimed softly, "She's so beautiful..."

Zhang Ruonan seemed to have heard them, turned her head and smiled at them, then took several beautifully packaged gifts from her assistant and distributed them to everyone present, even the cleaning lady.

Yang Chaoyue accepted the gift, feeling somewhat flattered.

Only Zhao Lusi let out a dissatisfied "humph".

She dislikes everyone...

"Sister Zhou is here...!"

Someone shouted, and the previously chaotic venue instantly fell silent.

Everyone stood up reflexively, even the assistant who was pouring water remained frozen in place, still bent over.

Yang Chaoyue and Zhang Yifan exchanged a confused glance and then hurriedly got up.

The door opened, and Zhou Ye walked in, wearing high heels. Today, she wore a perfectly tailored pair of black suit trousers, which made her legs look straight and long. She wore a snow-white silk shirt with the neckline slightly open, revealing a section of her delicate collarbone.

The large sunglasses covered most of her face, but they couldn't hide her innate cool and bright aura.

She casually took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of cool, aloof eyes. When her gaze swept across the conference room, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

She nodded to the two newlyweds, but gave Zhao Lusi a disdainful smile.

Yang Chaoyue was stunned; she had never seen such a dazzling person in real life.

So cool!

She truly deserves to be the company's top female employee.

"Nan Nan." Zhou Ye suddenly broke into a smile, his whole being instantly coming to life.

She took out an exquisitely crafted ginkgo leaf brooch from her pocket and pinned it on Zhang Ruonan herself. "I saw it at the brand event yesterday, and I knew it would suit you at first sight."

Zhang Ruonan was taken aback at first, then smiled sweetly: "Sister Zhou has excellent taste."

She had just finished speaking when footsteps sounded at the door.

"Hello, Mr. Shen!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Axin, the director of the artist department, and Shen Wei, the director of the administration department, walked in one after the other, followed by several department heads.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became more serious. The artists, who had been talking in hushed tones, immediately fell silent and nodded to the executives.

Zhang Axin, dressed in a sharp suit, glanced around after entering the room. When he saw Zhou Ye and Zhang Ruonan, a fawning smile appeared on his face: "Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhang."

Shen Wei appeared even more composed. He smiled at Zhou Ye and said, "Little Ye looks great today. Ruonan, it's been a long time!"

Zhou Ye nodded slightly in response.

Zhang Ruonan smiled politely and said, "Hello, President Shen."

However, their attitude changed noticeably when their gaze fell on Zhao Lusi, Yang Chaoyue, and Zhang Yifan.

"Ruth, have you finished reading the script for the new play?"

Zhang Axin's tone carried a serious, businesslike air.

Zhao Lusi quickly nodded: "I've finished reading it, Mr. Zhang."

"Yes, prepare well."

After Zhang Axin finished speaking, he didn't look at her again and instead started talking quietly with the other supervisors.

Shen Wei walked up to Yang Chaoyue and Zhang Yifan, his tone calm but clearly carrying the scrutiny of a superior: "Newcomer training starts next week, don't be late."

"Yes, Mr. Shen!" the two replied quickly.

Yang Chaoyue quietly observed all of this, secretly marveling at it.

Is this what it means to have a clear hierarchy in the entertainment industry?

Zhou Ye and Zhang Ruonan sat in the front row, and the executives treated them with great courtesy, even with a degree of respect.

She didn't understand why the leaders were so polite to them.

It's understandable that Zhou Ye is a popular young actress, but Zhang Ruonan is also a newcomer, right?

Why are the leaders so polite to her?
Puzzled!
The conference room door was pushed open again.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the doorway.

Gu Yang walked in with steady steps. His dark gray custom-made suit accentuated his tall and straight figure, and his shirt collar was slightly open, revealing a section of his well-defined collarbone.

Under the light, the metal cufflinks on his sleeves gleamed with a cold light, reflecting off his deep eyes.

His jawline was sharply defined, his nose was high and straight, and his brows exuded an imposing aura without anger, yet also carried a touch of lazy nobility.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu!" Zhang Axin was the first to react, quickly stepping forward with a fawning smile. "Boss, you look great today! This suit really suits your style! Would you like me to have my assistant make you a cup of coffee?"

Zhou Ye's eyes lit up the moment Gu Yang appeared.

She sat up slightly, the corners of her lips unconsciously turning up, her eyes revealing an undisguised tenderness.

Zhang Ruonan lowered her head, pretending to organize documents, but her reddened earlobes and slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her feelings.

Zhao Lusi was completely stunned.

I haven't seen the boss in a long time, and he's even more charming now!

Her eyes were fixed on Gu Yang, her red lips slightly parted, and she subconsciously tidied her hair and then secretly pulled down her collar.

Yang Chaoyue gasped.

The first time she saw Gu Yang in real life, he was ten times more handsome than he appeared on television.

Every movement he made was imbued with natural elegance, and the aura he exuded from within made her involuntarily hold her breath.

She made the right choice coming to this company!
The entire conference room was enveloped in a peculiar atmosphere because of Gu Yang's appearance.

Everyone had their own thoughts, yet they all tacitly maintained a facade of calm.

Only Zhang Axin continued his incessant flattery: "Boss, how are you feeling?"

"I heard you had an accident. I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, I've been suffering from insomnia every night...!"

"I originally wanted to fly to see you right away, but I have a lot of things to do at the company, so I have to go in your place...!"

Gu Yang rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, and interrupted him, saying, "Let's start the meeting, we'll talk about this later!"
