Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Around 7 PM, Chen Mo received a text message from Brother Zhang:

"I've already spoken with Sister Wang. You can contact her directly to arrange a meeting to discuss the details. I've sent you her phone number; her name is Wang Lihua."

It was followed by a string of numbers.

Chen Mo replied, "Received, thank you, Brother Zhang."

He saved the number but didn't call immediately; this wasn't the right time. He would contact them again tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Chen Mo went to Blue Bay Coffee downstairs in the China World Trade Center Phase 3.

He chose a window seat, ordered an Americano, and began to organize his thoughts while drinking it.

At exactly 10 o'clock, a middle-aged woman walked into the coffee shop.

She was wearing a beige business suit, well-tailored, and her hair was tied into a neat low ponytail at the back of her head.

She wore light makeup, and although her features weren't particularly striking, she exuded a capable and efficient aura.

She looked around, her gaze landing on Chen Mo, and walked straight over.

"Mr. Chen Mo?"

Her voice was steady, accompanied by a professional smile.

"Sister Wang? Please have a seat."

Chen Mo stood up to acknowledge him.

Wang Lihua sat down opposite and placed the folder in her hand on the table.

She ordered a latte and then looked at Chen Mo:

"Shall we get to know each other briefly first?"

"it is good."

Let me introduce myself first.

Wang Lihua opened the folder, took out a resume, and pushed it over.

"Wang Lihua, 43 years old, worked as an artist manager for eight years and managed three artists. She left the industry in 2012 to get married, got divorced last year, and is now preparing to start over."

The resume is concise, but the work experience is clearly stated.

Chen Mo noticed that her last position before leaving the industry was "Senior Executive Broker".

Why did Sister Wang choose to return to this profession?

"There are two reasons. First, I need a job and an income. Second, I like this industry and have experience in it. Although I've been away for a few years, I still have the fundamentals."

The waiter brought her a latte, she thanked him, and continued:

"Old Zhang briefly told me about your situation. Your first role was Donghua Dijun in 'Eternal Love,' and you just finished filming Yang Kang in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes.' Currently, behind-the-scenes footage of 'Eternal Love' is being released, and it's generating some buzz."

She summarized Chen Mo's situation.

Chen Mo nodded: "That's basically it. I need an executive agent now, mainly responsible for daily affairs coordination, contract preparation, itinerary arrangement, and initial screening of job offers."

I don't need an agent to make decisions for me, but I do need your professional advice and analysis.

Wang Lihua nodded as she took notes: "These are no problem. My previous work experience has basically been doing these kinds of things."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Could you please tell me about the salary?"

Chen Mo was prepared: "The basic salary is eight thousand per month. At the end of the year, I will receive a bonus of one percent of the profits from the endorsements and business deals I receive."

This figure is slightly lower than the market price, but it includes bonuses and commissions.

Wang Lihua didn't answer immediately. She did some calculations and then said:

"Yes, but I have two conditions."

"you say."

"First, I need to have independent decision-making power to handle daily affairs. I will be fully responsible for daily coordination and arrangements."

Wang Lihua looked at Chen Mo and said, "Secondly, if the cooperation goes smoothly, I hope we can renegotiate the salary in a year. After all, if I can really help you build up the business, one percent might not be enough."

Chen Mo laughed: "Sister Wang is very direct."

"When it comes to work, it's better to be direct, don't you think?"

"Can."

Chen Mo nodded. "I agree. Then... shall we have a pleasant collaboration?"

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Wang Lihua extended her hand.

The two shook hands.

"There are a few things that Sister Wang needs to handle immediately. First, help me register a personal studio."

Secondly, Yang Mi has a team helping me connect with some business opportunities. You need to contact them to see what deals are already under discussion and compile a list.

"no problem."

Wang Lihua immediately opened the folder, created a new page, and began taking notes.

Do you have the contact information for Yang Mi's team?

Chen Mo sent Yang Mi's assistant's WeChat contact to her:

"This is Sister Mi's assistant. Add her on WeChat and tell her she's my new executive agent and we need to coordinate work."

"it is good."

Wang Lihua looked up at him. "Anything else?"

That's all for now.

"clear."

Wang Lihua closed the folder. "Then I'll start working this afternoon. First, I'll contact Yang Mi's team, and then I'll start registering the studio."

"Sister Wang, there's something else."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then said, "I live in Chaoyang. If I'm not with the crew, we can find a place to work nearby. Or you can work from home and we can meet once a week."

"If there's a lot of business to do later, we can rent a small office."

Wang Lihua thought for a moment and suggested, "It doesn't need to be big, but we need a formal place to receive our partners. Also, a business address is required for studio registration."

"Okay, Sister Wang can handle this."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

The two discussed some more details, and around 11:30, Wang Lihua got up:

"I'll be going now. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After Wang Lihua left, Chen Mo sat in the coffee shop for a while longer.

He took out his phone and sent Yang Mi a WeChat message:

"Honey, I've found an executive agent named Wang Lihua. She'll contact your assistant today to discuss the work."

Yang Mi quickly replied, "Understood."

Chen Mo put down his phone and leaned back in his chair.

With an executive broker, you don't have to worry about many trivial matters.

……

After leaving the coffee shop, Chen Mo stood in the plaza below the China World Trade Center Phase 3, watching the white-collar workers and tourists passing by, and took out his phone to find Li Lin's WeChat.

The two haven't talked since their last call. I promised her I'd tell her when I got back to Beijing, and now that I'm back, I should say hello.

He carefully considered his words and sent a message:

"Sister Lin, I've finished filming and returned to Beijing. I've just settled in."

My phone vibrated less than two minutes after I sent the message.

Li Qin replied very quickly:

"Congratulations on wrapping up filming. Are you free tonight? I promised to treat you to dinner last time."

Chen Mo thought about it and realized he didn't have any plans for the evening.

"When you have time, Sister Qin, please decide on a place."

"Then let's go to 7 o'clock. There's a really good Yunnan restaurant near the Workers' Stadium, and it's quiet too. I'll send you the address."

Soon, a location was sent over.

Chen Mo replied, "Okay, see you tonight."

After putting down his phone, Chen Mo checked the time; it was only a little past one in the afternoon.

He went back to his apartment first, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

At 6:30, he went out and took a taxi to the agreed restaurant.

The restaurant is located in a small alley on Gongti West Road. The storefront is not large, but the decoration is very distinctive, with bamboo and wood structure and warm yellow light shining through the windows.

Chen Mo pushed open the door and entered; a waiter greeted him.

"How many are in your party, sir?"

"It's pre-ordered, surname Li."

"Okay, this way please."

The waiter led him through the front hall to a private room by the window in the back courtyard.
