Chapter 67: This Is PUA; He's KFC-ing You! (Please Collect and Recommend)

Hearing Beside Qi Hui Hui's words, Yang Siwei frowned; this drama was hardly a good choice.

Immediately, Yang Siwei listed all the drawbacks of this drama, explaining them to Beside Qi Hui Hui in meticulous detail.

Such a potential stock could not be allowed to go astray!

Beside Qi Hui Hui raised an eyebrow, wanting to explain the highlights of this drama to Yang Siwei and persuade her, but then he thought better of it; that seemed a bit off.

No need for that; in the adult world, thinking is primarily driven by profit.

Immediately, Beside Qi Hui Hui smiled: "What you say makes sense, but I have other projects in hand that we can gamble on."

Upon hearing this, Yang Siwei paused, her gaze flickering as she began to think; after a moment, she slowly nodded: "That's true."

If this drama could be broadcast, with two male leads as a baseline, Beside Qi Hui Hui's path would be much smoother.

If it failed, the impact would not be great, since there were still two projects in hand.

"In that case, I will help you contact them for an audition." Yang Siwei was convinced.

If those two projects were not in hand, Yang Siwei would never have agreed to Beside Qi Hui Hui doing this.

Thinking of this, she felt somewhat helpless.

She felt her role as an agent was not very significant; the advancement of the project was entirely decided by Beside Qi Hui Hui.

This made her, who aspired to be like Wang Jinghua, feel somewhat frustrated.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention." Yang Siwei suddenly spoke: "No one within our company is competing for this drama, but that doesn't mean other companies aren't."

"You must be prepared to compete with others."

The entertainment industry never lacks people wanting to climb up; A-list, B-list, even C-list and D-list actors are not interested in such small scripts that are hard, tiring, and pay nothing.

But what about other small actors? What about those who were once glorious and now want to reinvent themselves?

"I know." Beside Qi Hui Hui nodded: "I will be prepared."

"There is one more thing." Beside Qi Hui Hui suddenly said:

"Help me contact a retired soldier; I plan to start practicing military posture from now on."

No other reason; go all out and crush all the competitors!

Yang Siwei frowned slightly; this was work an assistant should do, not her, the agent.

Before, at Fan Bingbing's studio, she had done the work of an assistant;

Now, having left Fan Bingbing's studio, she was still doing the work of an assistant!

Hadn't she left Fan Bingbing's studio for nothing then?

Beside Qi Hui Hui saw her displeased expression, chuckled, and slowly said: "Xiao Yang, from the moment I saw you, I felt you resembled a famous figure in literature; do you know who?"

Yang Siwei paused slightly and instinctively asked: "Who?"

"Xue Baochai." Beside Qi Hui Hui said: "Xue Baochai from Dream of the Red Chamber."

"Like her, you have a spirit that refuses to give up, a drive to strive upward."

"A favorable wind lends its power, sending me up to the blue clouds; how fitting this line is for you."

Yang Siwei pressed her lips together; Beside Qi Hui Hui's judgment of people was very accurate.

He was right; she indeed refused to give up, admired Sister Hua, and wanted even more to become someone like Sister Hua.

Yang Siwei took a deep breath: "Beside Qi Hui Hui, let us work hard together; you will definitely become famous."

"I believe in your strength." Beside Qi Hui Hui said seriously: "United, we will become the best partners!"

"I am the favorable wind, and you, young lady, will soar straight to the blue clouds!"

"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Yang nodded repeatedly: "I will get things done; rest assured, just wait for my news."

Having said that, she left in a hurry, full of energy.

Watching her leave, Beside Qi Hui Hui rubbed his nose; chicken soup plus painting a pie equals PUA.

Before transmigrating, he had used it a few times when training new recruits about to head to the construction site... well, he had used it quite a lot.

Of course, when he had his classic start back then, he too had been treated this way by his seniors.

"When will the cycle of vengeance end..." Beside Qi Hui Hui sighed, recalling his own past clarity, foolishness, and tears.

Xiao Yang moved quickly; the next day, the instructor came looking for him.

Beside Qi Hui Hui chatted with the instructor and agreed to start training on the third day.

He also took the opportunity to learn about the instructor's background; he was a local from the Imperial Capital, had been a delinquent in his youth, and was sent to the army by his family.

The army is a good place to educate people; once inside, he didn't make a sound, developed well there, and earned the rank of non-commissioned officer.

He also wanted to attend a military academy, but his foundation in his youth was not solid, so he failed; after retiring, he followed his father's profession, lived an honest life, and became a man of daily routine.

However, the unit he served in was no small matter; the 38th Army, the famously renowned Ten Thousand Years Army.

Its predecessor was the First Column of the Northeast Field Army, which served as the general reserve during the Liaoshen Campaign.

It was the general reserve that Commander One-Zero-One pressed to keep "the general reserve unmoved."

In the following days, Beside Qi Hui Hui went to the suburbs of Miyun and practiced military posture, goose-step, and so on with the instructor.

Several days of military training made him feel as if he had returned to university entrance.

Fortunately, the results were good; his body became upright, looking slightly like a soldier.

However, due to the military training, Beside Qi Hui Hui temporarily stopped lifting weights and used the free time at night to chat with Jing Tian.

But this girl seemed to be intentionally avoiding him; although they chatted often, her desire to express herself was not as strong as before.

Beside Qi Hui Hui wanted to ask her out, but this girl was also somewhat reluctant.

"Forget it, let her cool off." Beside Qi Hui Hui, helpless, opened his computer and browsed entertainment news.

The current entertainment industry was not as fierce as it would be more than ten years later; the first year of scandals had not yet arrived, and there were not so many scandals to consume.

Beside Qi Hui Hui found it somewhat boring.

However, a few things caught his attention, such as Yao Chen.

This woman often posts public welfare-related content on Weibo.

Whether the public welfare is genuine or not remains unknown, but it has drawn considerable attention and her follower count has skyrocketed.

So, somehow, she acquired a new title: Queen of Weibo.

Beside Qi Hui Hui curled his lip, wondering where the "Queen" part came from.

Ding-ling-ling~

The phone rang; Beside Qi Hui Hui picked it up and saw it was not Jing Tian calling.

It was Xiao Zhang calling.

"Hello?"

"Senior brother, are you free tomorrow?" Xiao Zhang's voice was relaxed; compared to the previous call, there was a sense of relief:

"Let's go out for a drink."

"Oh?" Beside Qi Hui Hui asked in surprise, "Has the incident on your end been resolved?"

"Yes."

"Alright, name a time and place... oh, go to a tavern, not a bar!"

"Uh..." Zhang Ruoyun was dumbfounded; is there a difference between the two?

"Gulp, gulp, gulp... Ah~~!"

Beside Qi Hui Hui and Zhang Ruoyun downed beer in large gulps and let out a deep sigh.

"This beer is a bit different from what's on the market..." Beside Qi Hui Hui smacked his lips, glanced at the beer in his cup, and said in surprise.

"This is craft beer," Xiao Zhang explained. "The ones on the market are industrial light beer."

"Indeed, the two are somewhat different."

As expected of a second-generation heir... Beside Qi Hui Hui nodded; he had never encountered this kind of thing before.

"Eh? Senior brother, you didn't know?" Zhang Ruoyun asked in surprise.
