I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Now everyone in the industry knows that Liu Yan has been blacklisted, so no one is asking her to act, and advertisements and endorsements are useless. Enlight Media has stopped giving her resources, and..."

As Xing Aina spoke, a look of regret appeared on her face. "She was recently diagnosed with uterine fibroids, so she plans to leave the entertainment industry and find a stable job."

"Uterine fibroids? Tumor?" Cheng Sheng was taken aback. That seemed unlikely! Liu Yanke would still be active in the entertainment industry in the future, how could she possibly have a tumor?

“It’s a tumor, but fortunately it’s benign and can be cured,” Xing Aina said.

Benign! That's good. Cheng Sheng was really afraid that such an admired female artist would leave like this.

Is there any chance of signing Liu Yan to our company?

Since Enlight Media doesn't want her, Cheng Sheng has to make a move, and he feels there's a good chance he can acquire Liu Yan.

"Boss, I checked Liu Yan's contract with Enlight Media. It's for 8 years. If we want to sign Liu Yan, we'll have to help pay the breach of contract penalty, which is about three million yuan."

Hearing Xing Aina's words, Cheng Sheng smiled. It seemed that Xing Aina also wanted to sign Liu Yan, otherwise she wouldn't have investigated Liu Yan's affairs so thoroughly.

“It’s only a little over three million. The company can afford that. Find a time to talk to someone from Enlight Media,” Cheng Sheng said.

“Okay, but if we sign Liu Yan, then the personal assistant…” Xing Aina hesitated before continuing.

Cheng Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Let Liu Yan be my personal assistant for a while. We still have to give Chen Kaige face. After Chen Kaige and Liu Yan have forgotten about the matter, we can let her become an artist."

"Understood, boss."

"Then go and inform Liu Yan to come to work tomorrow."

"Ah."

……

The next day, Cheng Sheng arrived at the company.

"Hi boss."

A sweet voice rang in Cheng Sheng's ears. He looked ahead and saw a voluptuous woman in a light blue business suit bowing to him and calling out.

Liu Yan!

Cheng Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at her with admiration.

Despite seeing so many sexy photos of Liu Yan online, she still exudes a remarkable aura when dressed in professional attire. Compared to her daring outfits, her conservative professional style is more feminine.

While conservative pieces may not accentuate sexiness, they can create a unique style, giving off an air of sophistication whether they are dresses or trousers.

Liu Yan's styling was very clever. Although the light blue coat was conservative, she used an irregular hem skirt to create a stylish look. The light gray pencil skirt used the same color stitching, and the naturally draped hem became the highlight. The exposed white shirt still gave people a professional and capable look. The "small over large" outfit was really amazing.

Cheng Sheng could vaguely sense that the male employees in the company would occasionally glance at Liu Yan.

As a film and television company, Shengli Film and Television has a lot of female artists, and each of them is very beautiful, but in the past, these male employees have never been seen peeking at the female artists.

"Come with me."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, he led Liu Yan to the office.

"close the door."

Liu Yan closed the door behind him, blocking the prying eyes from the shadows outside.

"Liu Yan, did Enlight Media say anything about you becoming my personal assistant?"

Cheng Sheng sat down and asked Liu Yan, "Don't worry, boss, Guangxian hasn't restricted my personal freedom." Liu Yan replied.

"Ah."

Cheng Sheng nodded, then asked, "Do you know what a personal assistant does?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan's eyes narrowed, and she secretly glanced at Cheng Sheng, thinking to herself, "I heard that Cheng Sheng doesn't engage in any underhanded tactics with female celebrities. He probably wouldn't force me to do that kind of thing!"

"A so-called personal assistant is a professional who provides one-on-one, all-round support services, covering multiple areas such as business administration, life management, and crisis response."

"I coordinate my daily schedule, meetings, business trips, filming, optimize time management, and also draft, review, and translate documents, etc."

"I won't be at the company most of the time; I'll be on set filming. From now on, you'll be representing me at the company. You can handle small things on your own, and for big things, you can contact me directly. Also, you can report anything that happens at the company to me..."

Cheng Sheng explained in detail what his personal assistant was supposed to do, and also told Liu Yan about what Jiangsu Ying had done before.

Liu Yan listened attentively, and was relieved to learn that she didn't have to do those disgusting things.

She was genuinely afraid of being sexually harassed by her boss.

If Cheng Sheng is really that kind of person, she will quit her job immediately.

For the next few days, Liu Yan followed Cheng Sheng around to work every day.

Cheng Sheng also tried his best to familiarize her with company affairs.

Liu Yan is able to serve as a host because she has very strong language expression skills and continuous learning ability.

In less than three days, Liu Yan had a clear understanding of the company's situation.

She discovered that Cheng Sheng spent very little time at the company and didn't manage it much; all the company's personnel arrangements were in Xing Aina's hands.

The company's artist department is even more loosely structured, with each artist basically responsible for one-on-one. However, this very work environment creates a harmonious atmosphere within the artist department, free from the backstabbing and infighting that often occurs among artists under Enlight Media.

This made Liu Yan envious. Being an artist in such a company would definitely be very happy. At least you wouldn't have to guard against arrows shot from the shadows, nor would you have to fight over resources.

There's no need to worry about the company forcing artists to go out and drink with clients.

Unfortunately, her contract hadn't expired yet; if it had, she would definitely have signed with Victory Film Company.

As Cheng Sheng's personal assistant, Liu Yan not only needs to understand the company's situation, but also Cheng Sheng himself. After all, a personal assistant who doesn't know the boss's preferences is not a good personal assistant.

She thoroughly investigated Cheng Sheng, both professionally and personally.

She discovered that although Cheng Sheng didn't like managing the company's trivial matters, he was very passionate about movies and was incredibly efficient when it came to the "Zheng He's Voyages to the West" project.

On one occasion, Cheng Sheng gathered the main creative team of the film together to study the script. The way he explained the script to the actors was like that of an emperor, commanding them with great authority and analyzing each character very thoroughly.

She had also acted before and knew that directors would analyze the characters when explaining scenes to actors, but no director could explain things as meticulously as Cheng Sheng. He even told a short story of 100,000 words about a single character.

The boss stopped working on the role only after the actor had mastered it.

This also made Liu Yan realize why the actors in Cheng Sheng's movies could perform so well; it turned out that it was all thanks to Cheng Sheng.

In terms of work, Liu Yan greatly admires Cheng Sheng.

In real life, however, Liu Yan held Cheng Sheng in utter contempt.

She never imagined that while everyone said Cheng Sheng didn't engage in any sexual harassment of actresses, he was secretly maintaining intimate relationships with several women. (End of Chapter)
