Chapter 136: Collaborative Work

This was the first time Wen Yan had gone to Shen Jinghe's studio.

On the way there, she started doing her homework in advance.

"Superstar, I have a few questions to ask you."

"Just ask." Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan. "When did you become so polite to me? Are you this polite to Shen Jingchuan too?"

"Huh?" Wen Yan glanced at Shen Jinghe. "I was talking to you about something important, why did you suddenly bring up Fourth Brother? I don't think I mentioned him before. Second Brother, you're a bit strange."

Strange?

Did he have a reason for saying that?

But upon careful consideration, he realized that he was in the wrong.

He didn't know what happened just now, but those words seemed to come out naturally.

Thinking about this, Shen Jinghe felt a little uneasy. "My mistake, forget it, pretend I didn't say that. What did you want to ask me just now, ask away."

Wen Yan: [I thought this guy saw me chatting with Shen Jingchuan and brought it up, but it turns out he didn't, haha]

Shen Jinghe: EXM?? He sat silently in the passenger seat for a while, thinking that he was happily chatting with Shen Jingchuan.

No wonder he suddenly mentioned Shen Jingchuan, it seemed that there was a reason for all of this! Hmph.

He wanted to see what kind of questions she would ask. If even her questions were related to Shen Jingchuan, he would have to beat her up.

Wen Yan didn't know that she would get beaten up if she asked the wrong questions.

All she could say was fortunately, the questions she wanted to ask had nothing to do with Shen Jingchuan.

"I wanted to ask if your studio knows about the identity of your second young master from a prestigious family. This directly determines whether I should cover my face when I enter your studio later, or not."

"Just this?... They don't know."

"They don't know at all, including your longtime manager?"

"Yeah, I didn't tell anyone. The business of the Shen family currently has no connection with the entertainment industry, so hardly anyone knows. Even if a few prominent figures know, they wouldn't bother exposing me."

Wen Yan nodded. "I understand. Then I'll wear a mask when I go in later, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

At a red light, Shen Jinghe turned his head and looked at Wen Yan carefully after hearing her words.

This gaze lasted for several seconds, making Wen Yan feel a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Shen Jinghe's response was off-topic. "You look beautiful today, with this makeup."

This praise was unexpected, and Wen Yan couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

"Is it just the makeup that looks good?"

"Of course, it's mainly because of you."

"Cough, thank you for your kind words. I completely trust your taste and your words, after all, you are someone who would rather be blunt than lie."

"...So are you sure you want to wear a mask when you come to my studio? Isn't that a waste of your makeup? Those high-end cosmetics you put on your face, at least cost a few hundred."

Wen Yan: [Wow, he knows about cosmetics, but did I just put it on randomly? I carefully applied this makeup!]

Wen Yan inwardly complained for a moment, then asked, "But won't the people in your studio spread rumors?"

"What are you thinking? If they dare to spread my private work or schedule, they don't have to work here anymore. My studio doesn't keep such people, and even those who leave my studio won't talk nonsense."

"Understood, understood!" Wen Yan nodded. "This also shows that you are a generous and upright person. Anyone who defames or exposes their former boss after leaving a job either has a problem with their character or couldn't agree on the price."

"But you, not only have a noble character, but you must also be very generous. I'm sure you are well-liked by all your employees! It's not easy to find a good boss like you!"

"By the way, Boss, we've been driving for a while. Are you thirsty? Let me open a bottle of water for you to drink."

Shen Jinghe: "..." This person has a way with words. But he felt happy after listening to her, and his mood instantly improved.

With a better mood, he started talking more.

"This time, we have selected three people. Two of them have experience as assistants and are slightly older than you. The other one has no work experience, but has a lively and cheerful personality, and is about the same age as you with a lot of energy. I think they should be more suitable for you. You'll see when you meet them later."

"Okay. But the recruitment information was sent by your studio, so won't they come specifically for you? When they see that they have to serve me, will they have any objections? I don't want to force anyone to work for me."

"Of course, they won't have any objections. We are hiring assistants, not fans. They are here to find a job, not to chase after stars. As long as the salary and benefits are suitable, that's enough. You've just entered this circle, there's still a long way to go, so learn more."

"Okay, Teacher Shen! I'll learn from you in the future. Here, this is your water, please drink slowly."

Shen Jinghe drank a sip of water from Wen Yan's hand and couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? Are you here to apprentice to me? If you really want to apprentice, this sip of water won't be enough."

"Hehe, then I won't apprentice. As the saying goes, a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, but you are my second brother, so you can't become my father." 

"Why are you saying all these things by yourself..." Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan. "Alright, put away the mask."

Although he said that, when Wen Yan appeared in Shen Jinghe's studio, it still caused a small commotion.

However, these small disruptions were kept private.

Shen Jinghe's studio only had one work group, and he was also in it. Employees were not allowed to create other groups privately.

Therefore, the employees would not spread the news in writing.

It was only when Shen Jinghe escorted Wen Yan to the conference room that his employees realized that Wen Yan had come to choose an assistant.

So, the boss was recruiting an assistant for her.

Originally, the boss hired an assistant for her.

Soon, Shen Jinghe's agent found him as well.

The two didn't really avoid the other employees in the studio.

"I remember when we were filming Lost Voice together, you saw her potential. You talked to me about wanting to sign her to the studio. If I'm not mistaken, she should have refused at that time. Did she change her mind now? Did you talk to her and reach an agreement?"

Shen Jinghe shook his head, "No, it's just a small favor for her."

"So, she still hasn't signed with another company, right?"

"Yes."

"I see," Shen Jinghe's agent nodded, "Let's extend an olive branch first."

The other employees in the studio suddenly understood: Ah~ So that's what the boss means. He is really thoughtful. The boss's career has already reached its peak, and it's time for him to cultivate a new batch of talents.

I really like a boss who works hard for his career. Even if the boss becomes less popular in the future, we won't lose our job, after all, the company still has other new faces.

Shen Jinghe didn't have the ability to read his employees' minds.

If he did, he would surely "thank" these employees who were hoping for his success and downfall.

After finishing the conversation with his agent, Shen Jinghe entered the meeting room.

He walked straight to Wen Yan and sat down next to her.

Soon, the two began to talk quietly.

Shen Jinghe asked Wen Yan, "How is the selection going?"

Wen Yan smiled, "I've made my choice!"

"So fast?" Shen Jinghe was quite surprised. He didn't think she would make a decision so quickly, especially since she only had a few words with the agent.

Then, Wen Yan picked out a resume from the pile.

Shen Jinghe took a look and confirmed his previous thoughts.

Wen Yan had chosen a girl named He Xing.

Well, someone with her personality might not be suitable for the other two candidates who were more introverted.

Shen Jinghe reached out and took back the other two resumes, handing them over to his assistant behind him.

His assistant immediately took the other two candidates out.

Although they weren't chosen by Wen Yan, Shen Jinghe's studio still had other work arrangements for them.

After the meeting room was left with only the three of them.

Shen Jinghe spoke first, "Let me tell you about your job responsibilities. Currently, your employment contract is with my studio, but you will be serving Ms. Wen Yan. This was not mentioned to you beforehand. If you mind..."

"I don't mind at all! I really look forward to this job. I'm prepared and ready to start now!"

Shen Jinghe: "........" Young people are really energetic, like they've been injected with chicken blood. But this proactive attitude is great for work.

After completing all the procedures, Wen Yan led her new assistant out of Shen Jinghe's studio.

He Xing was now very excited!

Because she was actually a fan of Wen Yan! She was one of the earliest fans of Wen Yan!

Her nickname on social media was "April's Little Happiness."

Ever since she became a fan of Yan from the beginning, to liking her character, and then to the broadcast of Jungle Diary, "April's Little Happiness" liked her more and more.

She came to City A this time because she wanted to try her luck in a big city.

Probably because of her connection to Wen Yan, she had a filter on the entire entertainment industry.

In addition to her experience in beauty and hair styling, as well as her "entrepreneurial" failure, she applied for the position of an artist assistant.

At first, she didn't know much about the company she applied to, but later found out it was Shen Jinghe's studio. She didn't know how happy she was! Because she also liked Shen Jinghe.

But later, she didn't expect that she would come to Shen Jinghe's company for an interview and end up working with her favorite actress!

Who understands the surprise of opening a big blind box! It's a successful star-chasing event.

But in order not to affect her future work or Wen Yan's perception of her, He Xing decided to keep this little secret hidden.

She just wanted to work with her idol and climb to the top together!

Just as she had this thought, Wen Yan received a call from the production team of Jungle Diary's second season.

They said the second season was almost ready and invited Wen Yan to sign the contract for the second season.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan smiled at He Xing and said, "You joined just in time, we're about to start working."

Ah ah ah, my goddess is so good, she's kind and easygoing, without any star airs.

He Xing was as excited as if she had taken chicken blood, "That's great, I love working. Should I handle the communication with the production team from now on? Sister, you just focus on recording and shooting."

"Yes, I'll give them your WeChat later, and you'll be in charge of coordinating with them. Also, we're about the same age, so you can just call me by my name, calling me sister feels a bit strange."

"Can I call you Yan Yan?"

"Sure, let's go, I'll treat you to a welcome meal. Let's eat and drink first before starting work, it's lunchtime now. What do you want to eat?"

He Xing: Ah ah ah, my goddess is so nice, she's good-natured and doesn't act like a star.

"I'm fine with anything, not picky. But the restaurants nearby are quite crowded, it might not be convenient for you to go there. If you trust me, I can take you to a place with fewer people and good food."

"Okay!" Wen Yan didn't expect her assistant to be so considerate, "Are you familiar with this place? I remember your resume said you're not a local, right?"

"Yes, I'm not a local. But I came here a few months ago. I was planning to be a food blogger, so I went to many places. That's why I'm quite familiar with City A. But in the end, my videos didn't turn out so well, so I decided to find a job and settle down. You might think I'm young, but I know quite a lot."

He Xing wasn't bragging.

He Xing also didn't brag.

She handled the coordination with the production team very well, and there was no room for criticism.

Moreover, Wen Yan and she got along well. Since there wasn't much work to do, the two of them spent the whole afternoon playing outside.

Wen Yan really liked the atmosphere between her and the new assistant.

Speaking of which, apart from Su Yang, this was the best female companion she had 'played' with since coming to this world.

Wen Yan was genuinely happy. Finding a work partner who suited her was like finding a treasure.

Even Su Yang and the housekeeper Zhang noticed her joyous mood when she returned home that evening.

The next morning, Wen Yan went to sign the contract for the second season of "Jungle Diary" with the production team.

This season was different from the previous one, as the most obvious change was the extended shooting period.

This also meant that she would be spending a long time outdoors in the coming days.

But what she cared most about was whether Shen Jingchuan had renewed his contract.

She hadn't been able to reach him before, but now that she had signed the contract, she finally managed to reach him.

"I saw your missed call. I drank too much last night and just woke up. Is there something urgent you need from me?" Shen Jingchuan asked after answering the call.

"It's not urgent. I just wanted to ask if you received a call from the producers of 'Jungle Diary.' I have already signed for the second season."

"I don't know about that. I have to ask my agent, they wouldn't directly call me. But I might not have much time in the coming days."

"Oh?" Wen Yan felt a bit disappointed. "Is it because you've raised enough funds, and now you're going to focus on the club?"
