Chapter 396

~15 min read 2,883 words

Any employee working in an entertainment company cannot avoid having a gossiping attribute.

Even in that kind of large-scale, high-end technology company, employees' own daily chat groups are chatting about gossip every day.

There's no way around it; life is already so bitter, so why not allow people to chat about gossip and complain a bit?

At Chenxi Entertainment, even when facing a gold-medal manager like Sui Lingfang, there are often people complaining that she is too strict, has different requirements for everyone, and doesn't value other artists besides first-tier artists.

There is no perfect person in the world, let alone perfect colleagues, or perfect leaders.

But there is only one artist whose status is very special in the minds of all employees at Chenxi Entertainment.

There is only praise, no slander.

This person is Seeing Jin Li.

If Seeing Jin Li's fans are all Gu insects, then Chenxi Entertainment has undoubtedly become a large-scale Gu-raising field.

Every employee who joins is willing to become Seeing Jin Li's Gu.

【Extra, extra, special big news, Seeing Jin Li was personally sent back to the company by Fang Fei's people!】

【The company will probably give out scratch-offs again this month!】

【The president might recruit some new people because of Seeing Jin Li and open a few more departments!】

【I joined one of the projects Seeing Jin Li participated in. Oh my god, I was just helping run errands and deliver things, and she actually asked people to settle my overtime pay!】

【Seeing Jin Li must continue to be hot, hot, hot, so the company will continue to increase benefits!】

【I haven't checked in on Seeing Jin Li's blog today. I'm going to check in!】

If a person's achievements are related to your own interests, such as your promotion and salary increase, improvement of the work environment, better monthly benefits, etc., then everyone will hope that person can get better and better.

Seeing Jin Li came to Sui Lingfang's office and suddenly ran into He Yixuan, who was packing up a pile of things to go out.

The two sides met face-to-face. Seeing Jin Li's expression didn't change at all, but He Yixuan looked at Seeing Jin Li, wanting to speak but stopping.

Seeing Jin Li nodded at her and was about to knock on the office door when He Yixuan suddenly said, "Sister Seeing Jin Li, are you free tonight? Can I make an appointment with you for a meal?"

Seeing Jin Li's movements paused, she turned her head to look at her, her eyes filled with doubt.

He Yixuan said nervously and hesitantly, "I, I am leaving the company today to go to Tianding Entertainment. At Chenxi Entertainment, I have always been taken care of by you. When I was criticized by Sister Fang, it was you who came forward to mediate. I am very grateful to you and want to treat you to a meal. I don't know if you are willing..."

Seeing Jin Li was silent for a while and said in a very light voice, "If it were before last year, everyone was an artist under Sister Fang, and we would often meet. If you made this request, I would be willing to participate."

She didn't finish her sentence, but He Yixuan already understood what she meant.

Specifically pointing out "everyone was an artist under Sister Fang," wasn't she just saying that she wasn't anymore, so there was no need to even eat?

Ever since He Yixuan negotiated the conditions for leaving with Chenxi Entertainment, she had always been in a good state of mind coming to the company to check in, but when it really came to this day of leaving, she became unprecedentedly anxious instead.

Could she live better by going to Tianding Entertainment?

Would she have a chance to reach the first tier in her life?

Could Tianding Entertainment really give her a better platform?

Was she right or wrong to jump ship from Chenxi Entertainment? Was choosing Tianding good or bad...

He Yixuan urgently needed a senior who could give her some advice.

But she had very few close friends in the circle, and most people's status wasn't as high as hers. This time, she just happened to run into Seeing Jin Li, and He Yixuan felt this was fate.

With Seeing Jin Li's good reputation in the circle, she shouldn't refuse her.

A bitter smile appeared on He Yixuan's face, "You think I'm a traitor, right? Because I betrayed Sister Fang and betrayed the cultivation of Chenxi Entertainment, so you don't like me and look down on me, but I—"

"He Yixuan." Seeing Jin Li interrupted her, saying clearly and forcefully, "No matter how you want to vent your emotions, you have to know how to pick the occasion. Is it appropriate for you to say these things to me in front of Sister Fang's office?"

He Yixuan was stunned.

Seeing Jin Li said, "As a senior who has mixed in the entertainment industry, I have seen many artists, and I don't have obvious likes or dislikes for all artists. In my eyes, you are just an ordinary artist with your own ideas and joys and sorrows."

"You want to jump ship to another place; that's your choice and has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain your thoughts to me, nor do you need to tell me about your grievances. He Yixuan, you haven't done anything to apologize to me for; I just hope you can clearly know one thing."

She paused, "What you apologize to is someone else."

"No matter what reason or stance you have for calling me and asking me out for a meal, my answer is—I won't go."

He Yixuan was shamed by her words, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, I'll leave now."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while, and after she turned to leave, she said another sentence.

"Yixuan, Sister Fang has brought you for so long. No matter what, you should give her some respect."

Instead of blocking the artist she values right in front of her office door and asking her out for a meal on the last day of leaving the company.

Seeing Jin Li didn't care about being blocked; she had seen this kind of thing many times.

But she cared about Sui Lingfang.

When He Yixuan did this, if she had considered her manager's mood at all, she wouldn't have done this.

Did she want to chat with her casually in private, or did she want to pull her to jump ship too?

Seeing Jin Li shook her head, feeling for the first time that it was quite good that Sui Lingfang wasn't bringing He Yixuan anymore.

When she first learned that He Yixuan was going to jump ship, she felt a bit of a pity.

Sister Fang had a deep relationship with He Yixuan; this was the first artist she brought after entering the industry, bringing an obscure eighteenth-tier artist to the second tier.

But I don't know when it started, Sister Fang's requirements for He Yixuan became higher and higher, and He Yixuan became more and more afraid to put forward her own ideas. Two people who were originally the closest became the ones who couldn't speak to each other the most.

But now it seems that it's quite good for He Yixuan to leave.

An artist who can never grow up cannot stand in the fierce competition.

Open your eyes and look at this world more, and you will know how happy you are living.

Seeing Jin Li pushed the door open and walked in. Sister Fang's chair was facing away from her.

She heard the sound of pulling tissues and the sound of heavy breathing.

After a good while, Sui Lingfang spoke, "You're here. It just so happens I have something to chat with you about. One is Fang Fei's photography exhibition. I have already received the video from the person in charge and plan to let people in the company edit it and post it on the company's official blog."

Seeing Jin Li: "Okay."

Sui Lingfang: "And the movie 'Dawn' will start filming in a few days. I received the latest version of the script today and have already sent it to your email. Remember to take a look at it tonight. I flipped through it and found that the content seems to have been changed again."

Seeing Jin Li: "Okay."

Sui Lingfang: "And, and, on Saturday, October 20th, it's the March Sky concert. Zhang Guang has already come to coordinate with me, asking if you have time on Friday. If you have time, go to rehearse and be a guest at the first concert. If you don't have time, then next time."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while. This time happened to be the second Friday after she joined the crew. She didn't know if she could ask for leave, so she just said:

"I have to see how Director Chu's movie is arranged after I join the crew, and whether I can move Friday's scenes to be filmed earlier."

Sui Lingfang: "Okay, give me an answer within three days after you join the crew."

Seeing Jin Li: "Okay."

A sound of flipping files came from Sui Lingfang's chair. She said pleasantly, "And there is the reputation and performance of 'Assassination'. It's just as you thought. Starting from episode 20, the enthusiasm of netizens chasing the show has instead increased."

"Now it's playing to episode 24, and there is more discussion about this show on the internet. Many people say it's very exciting and satisfying. I got the data from Tianding, and episode 20 is a significant watershed!"

Hearing this data, Seeing Jin Li's first thought was: "Director Yan should be able to get out of the hospital; no need to go to the doctor every three days!"

The second thought was: "Everyone bet right; this show is the type that accumulates and then breaks out!"

Sui Lingfang said with great pity, "Tianding is no longer investing in the promotion of this show. Actually, I think they should promote it again, just promote the plot after episode 20; it will definitely attract many people to watch!"

Seeing Jin Li said, "We cannot interfere with Tianding's decision. Just do what we can do well."

"Yeah, do what we can do." Sui Lingfang suddenly said this in a muffled voice, was silent for a while, and then said, "Seeing Jin Li, help me close the door when you go out."

Seeing Jin Li raised her head and glanced at her chair back. From beginning to end, she couldn't see Sister Fang's appearance.

She hesitated for a while and said, "Sister Fang, how about you come to my house tonight, or I go to your house, and we come to drink?"

Sui Lingfang laughed, "You don't drink, so why do you suddenly want to drink?"

"Alright, alright, you don't need to worry about me. I heard all the conversations you had outside the door through the surveillance. I'm not that fragile; I'm just a bit emotional. I can digest it myself."

She said to herself, "I have become more and more busy with work in the past two years, and I will also make mistakes in the arrangement of your announcements. I also have problems myself."

"And as long as Chenxi Entertainment doesn't want to spend money to build relationships, many good resources won't actively look for the company. It's good that she left; Chenxi Entertainment actually doesn't suit her."

Sui Lingfang was suddenly silent, and after a good while, she said, "I don't suit her either."

When everyone is very poor and down-and-out, relying on each other can hold on to that difficult time, and all contradictions will be put down.

But when the environment improves, the unwillingness and strength in the personality emerge again, and instead, more attention is paid to spiritual pleasure.

She should have let go earlier, instead of still being immersed in the past relationship and unable to walk out.

On this point, He Yixuan sees more clearly than her, and is more free and easy than her.

Sui Lingfang said to Seeing Jin Li, "I really have nothing; my mood is also very calm, really!"

Seeing Jin Li was ashamed.

Actually, there is no need to emphasize it repeatedly; this instead makes her more worried.

But everyone is an adult, not at the age when they like to get to the bottom of everything like when they were young. Since Sui Lingfang wants to be quiet alone, Seeing Jin Li decided not to disturb her too much.

She left the office and helped Sister Fang close the door as promised.

Seeing Jin Li came to the first floor, walked to the front desk, and facing the excited eyes of the front desk girl, she smiled and said, "Can you help me order a bouquet of flowers?"

Six o'clock in the evening, Chenxi Entertainment's normal off-duty time.

Recently, major companies have paid attention to high efficiency and are unwilling to let employees stay to work overtime. Although Chenxi Entertainment is an entertainment company, the president also followed the trend and required all employees to stay for at most six and a half o'clock.

At that time, there will be security guards patrolling, and then the door will be locked.

If they encounter employees who still refuse to leave, the president said he would use the trick of cutting off water and electricity.

Sui Lingfang went to a meeting at that time, heard this, specifically raised her head to look at the president, and found that his expression was not serious or solemn at all, but instead a bit eager to try.

Sui Lingfang:...

You even want to try this!

No matter what others think, anyway, Sui Lingfang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the company didn't work overtime.

She didn't want to stay in the company to work overtime all the time; she felt that there was a smell of work everywhere she went.

"Sister Fang!"

She walked out of the first-floor elevator, passed through the first-floor lobby on the way, and was suddenly called by the front desk girl.

Sui Lingfang walked over, "What's wrong? Did I write the wrong express address again and send it to the company?"

The front desk girl shook her head hurriedly and said with a giggle, "No, someone sent you a bouquet of flowers!"

A bouquet of flowers full of sunflowers and daisies came into Sui Lingfang's eyes, and she was very surprised.

Sui Lingfang took it happily, "Who sent it?"

The front desk girl said crisply, "Seeing Jin Li sent it! She specifically asked me to order it, saying it was for you, hoping to give it to you after you get off work! By the way, she also told me, wishing you to have a good mood every day!"

Sui Lingfang hugged the flowers, moved to the point that her eyes were red again, sniffed, "Hmm, hmm, thank you!"

The front desk girl asked, "Sister Fang, is today your birthday? Then I wish you a happy birthday. I'll give you a gift; I'll give you a handwritten greeting card!"

Sui Lingfang didn't know how to refuse for a while, but in the end, she accepted the birthday gift card and said, "I'll bring you a piece of cake tomorrow."

The front desk girl waved her hands hurriedly, "No need, no need, don't be so polite!"

Sui Lingfang said firmly, "I have to!"

At night, Seeing Jin Li raised her head from her busy studies and decided to rest for fifteen minutes to relieve the fatigue on her body.

She opened her phone and received a WeChat message sent by Sui Lingfang a few hours ago.

She took a photo of the flowers and specifically said: 【Very beautiful, thank you. I'm going to a bar to drink tonight, you study hard!】

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but smile.

It looks like she's in a good mood, that's great!

Her little hand slid down and flipped to the message Gu Cheng sent her, asking her how to review Chinese.

The time for next year's college entrance exam is getting closer and closer. Even if she is very confident in Chinese, she must prepare as soon as possible.

Gu Cheng is right; brushing up in advance is also a good thing. Don't arrange the time too tightly.

Seeing Jin Li: 【Starting tomorrow, I plan to brush up on Chinese in the morning, math in the afternoon, and science in the evening】

Gu Cheng: 【OK】

Seeing Jin Li: 【Sister Fang mentioned your concert to me today. Have you been busy with the concert recently?】

Gu Cheng: 【No, I've been busy running announcements. It's all Brother Guang communicating with us. We only have time to rehearse and contact on Thursday】

Seeing Jin Li: 【So rushed, can you handle it?】

Gu Cheng: 【Used to it】

Seeing Jin Li thought to herself, March Sky's ability is still too strong. Preparing so hurriedly and still being able to do so well—if it were her, that might not be the case.

I hope I won't have a concert in the future.
