Chapter 297: Finding Fang Ting

The next morning, Jiang Tiansheng's funeral proceeded smoothly, a grand burial.

Chen Mo had just returned to the bar when his men brought Fang Ting back.

After just a few days without seeing her, Fang Ting's condition was much worse than when she was at the hotel.

No wonder, after her patron died, she was promptly kicked out.

She had hoped to cling to Jiang Tiansheng, quit showbiz and marry into a wealthy family, but instead she came up empty-handed and even earned a bad reputation.

Not only were her future prospects ruined, she didn't even know what to do at present.

Anyone who went through so many upheavals would not be in good shape.

"Mo... Mo Ge, you're looking for me?"

Fang Ting saw Chen Mo again, and her attitude was completely different.

Back at the hotel, she was still Jiang Tiansheng's woman; although Chen Mo had caught her in a compromising position, she relied on Jiang Tiansheng as her backing, so she was somewhat wary of Chen Mo but not very afraid.

But now she is just a woman with no one to depend on.

Not only Chen Mo, even his men didn't take her seriously.

At this moment, facing Chen Mo, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Miss Fang, how have you been? Come sit."

Chen Mo sat on the sofa, too lazy to get up, and casually pointed to the opposite sofa.

Fang Ting quickly walked to the sofa, slowly sat down, lowered her head and glanced up at Chen Mo, appearing cautious.

Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with Fang Ting; he got straight to the point.

"Miss Fang, don't be nervous. I know Mr. Jiang's death has nothing to do with you, and I didn't call you here because of his death."

"I don't know if Miss Fang still has any idea of returning to the entertainment industry."

"Ah?" Upon hearing that Chen Mo wasn't looking for trouble, Fang Ting first sighed in relief, then felt a bit surprised.

"Can I still get into showbiz?"

"Why not?"

"Miss Fang should know I have a film company, and its previous movies did fairly well."

"As long as I say you can, you can!"

In a few years, even a coal boss could buy his way into showbiz, let alone Chen Mo, who still has a film company.

"I won't beat around the bush either. I have three artists under me—one woman and two men—who have only recently entered showbiz."

"You know the entertainment industry well and have experience."

"I need you to be their agent for a while, help them guard against overt and covert attacks, and teach them the rules of navigating showbiz."

"Besides paying you the appropriate agent's salary, if you're interested, you can also act in some roles in films produced by my company, with pay calculated separately."

"How about that?"

"Good, I'm willing!"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Fang Ting eagerly nodded her agreement.

After being kept by Jiang Tiansheng, she hadn't filmed a movie in ages and was already past her prime.

Apart from a few old lechers, she was basically a nonentity in showbiz.

At this point, she couldn't even get a role.

Moreover, although Jiang Tiansheng had spent a lot of money on her over these years,

but spending a lot is one thing, and what actually ended up in her pocket is another.

After all, she never expected Jiang Tiansheng to die so suddenly, and had never thought of saving money beforehand.

The money Jiang Tiansheng gave her was basically squandered on clothes and bags.

Now, having been evicted from Jiang Tiansheng's villa, she has to pay for rent and meals.

Given her savings, she'll likely have to sell her jewelry and bags to get by before long.

The job Chen Mo is giving her now is truly a godsend in the snow!

"Thank you, Mo Ge! Thank you, Mo Ge!"

Fang Ting is so moved she wants to cry; if it weren't for her usual reserve, she would now want to kowtow to Chen Mo.

"Miss Fang, don't stand on ceremony, after all you used to be considered the elder sister-in-law of our Great Prosperity. As a member of Great Prosperity, lending a hand is only proper."

"Since you've agreed, come with me to the film company now; I'll take care of your onboarding."

The film company is located in Wang Jiao, just seven or eight streets away from Chen Mo's bar on Nüren Jie, only a few kilometers distant.

It's a drive of just over ten minutes.

Upon arriving at the film company, it was rare that not a few people came out to greet Chen Mo.

When Chen Mo found Qin Huilian, she was in her office writing a script.

"Chin, where is everyone in the company? Why aren't they here?"

Hearing Chen Mo's voice, Qin Huilian happily lifted her head from the desk.

Seeing Chen Mo standing at the office door, she immediately ran over excitedly.

"Mo Ge! You've come!"

"Hmm." Chen Mo hugged Qin Huilian, then continued, "How come it's only you and those few people outside, while Piaopiao and them are...?"

"Piaopiao went to film with a TVB crew, and Yin Tianchou and Gao Gang are also filming with Director Li's crew."

"Xian Shihui and his gang should be downstairs right now, shooting the Category III film you approved."

"Now the only ones left at the company are me and those few people outside."

Having said that, Qin Huilian then noticed Fang Ting standing behind Chen Mo.

"Mo Ge, who is this?"

Chen Mo introduced, saying: "This is Fang Ting; she used to be an actress too, and I hired her to be Piaopiao and their manager."

"Miss Fang, this is Chin; she's the company's screenwriter and also my girlfriend."

"Hello." Fang Ting smiled and greeted Qin Huilian.

"Hello, Miss Fang." Qin Huilian also smiled and responded, but her gaze darted between Fang Ting and Chen Mo, revealing a subtle oddity.

This isn't how Chen Mo would introduce her to the sisters!

If Chen Mo knew what Qin Huilian was thinking right now, he would surely scold her a couple of times.

How could they be the same?

One is a luxury car kept in his own garage, the other is a used car of unknown hands—how could they be the same?

As for Fang Ting, Chen Mo has no intention of keeping her; at most he'd occasionally take her for a test drive and be done with it.

Moreover, he hasn't even test-driven her yet; at most he's only studied her appearance.

However, there aren't many people at the movie company now, so it's a good opportunity for a test drive.

Moreover, today is the day of Jiang Tiansheng's funeral.

Jiang Tiansheng first sent assassins to kill Chen Mo; now Chen Mo not only wants his life, but also wants to have his woman on the day of his funeral—just thinking about it feels satisfying.

"Chin, you go ahead with your work; I'll go with Miss Fang to Piaopiao's office to discuss the hiring. I'll come find you later!"

"Sure. Would you like something to drink? I'll have someone send it over."

Liu Piaopiao is often not at the movie company, while Qin Huilian is increasingly becoming the actual manager of the company.

"No thanks; I'll call you if I need anything."

Chen Mo ruffled Qin Huilian's hair, then turned and led Fang Ting into the neighboring office of Liu Piaopiao.

"Miss Fang, this movie company has two floors total. This floor contains everyone's offices, meeting rooms, and the rooms for post‑production of films.

The lower floor is a storage warehouse for equipment and the indoor sets used for filming. If you have time later you can go look yourself; I won't take you there.

Miss Fang, you've also filmed quite a few movies before, so those places shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, right?

Fang Ting nodded silently; she now isn't quite sure what Chen Mo intends to discuss by bringing her here.

Weren't we already done talking about what needed to be said at the bar earlier?
