Wu Wenyue nodded slightly, "Then send her my WeChat contact, and we’ll et tomorrow."
From the phone, Xu Manning added, "Give her a hard ti during the interview, teach that brat a lesson for being so snarky with us before!"
"I was actually thinking the sa, but..."
Wu Wenyue glanced at Li Peifeng and, with a particularly theatrical smile, said, "Will you feel bad if I bully the brat, brother?"
"No, go ahead and bully her as much as you want. She deserves it for being so irreverent and unruly, detestable to both gods and ghosts, infamous all over! In short, your bullying is a righteous act, and it also vents my anger!"
The two girls chuckled, and the matter was settled.
Later, Li Peifeng didn’t go ho but stayed in the apartnt, having a video call with Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning until they fell asleep at half-past eleven.
...
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Peifeng and Wu Wenyue went to Trinity Studio together to prepare for He Ying’s interview.
"You don’t need to co, just go back to write your thesis and novel."
"I’m just here for the fun, I’ll leave once it’s done."
"Are you actually worried that I’d bully her?"
Wu Wenyue looked at him skeptically, but Li Peifeng didn’t answer.
He wasn’t worried that Wu Wenyue would actually take the chance to bully He Ying, but rather that He Ying would bully Wu Wenyue.
After all, that brat was crafty and had a quick tongue. He vividly rembered a debate competition held at Beihua Teachers’ College where He Ying won the title of best debater.
Li Peifeng had reason to suspect that Brother Yue might not outtalk He Ying, and if Wu Wenyue got angry and started a fight, it wouldn’t be good. Besides, it would be a bit of a sha if I—the main culprit—didn’t witness the scene...
So he planned to observe the interview and manage the mood.
But the actual situation wasn’t as bad as Mr. Li imagined. He Ying arrived on ti, and Wu Wenyue didn’t play any hardball gas, just asked normal, routine questions.
She asked about He Ying’s account positioning, monetization thods, rough developnt plans, and such.
There wasn’t the anticipated intense confrontation; it seed Wu Wenyue had let go of any grudges and treated it as a regular interview.
After a considerable discussion, Wu Wenyue was satisfied and directly handed out the contract. He Ying carefully reviewed it for a mont, discussed the penalty clauses, the contract duration, and other terms with them, and they finally reached an agreent, signing and sealing the deal.
"Today, He Ying, you can start work right away."
Wu Wenyue crossed her arms, "Once everyone is here, I’ll hold a eting for you to et all the mbers. I’ll assign you to a two-person team, and you can start working formally."
Li Peifeng chid in, "Now with you two and Gu Jinyu, there are three actors, right? Could the backstage staff handle it all?"
"We’re recruiting. Two people will co for interviews at noon, if there’s no problem, I’ll consider hiring one to assist her," Wu Wenyue glanced at him, "Will you review them too?"
Li Peifeng looked at He Ying, who was reading through the freshly printed ’Actor’s Notice,’ looking a bit puzzled.
The interview was surprisingly smooth and normal, as if the two girls had forgotten all old grievances. Could it be they separated work from personal matters that well?
Am I underestimating them?
"You handle it yourself, I’m going back to write. Call if there’s anything."
"Okay."
He Ying looked up, "Goodbye."
"Bye-bye."
Li Peifeng waved his hand, turned around, and closed the door as he left the office. However, he didn’t leave imdiately but went into the living room.
"Ah Yan."
The living room had been converted into an open office area. Li Peifeng walked over to Tang Yan’s desk and greeted him.
"Eh? Brother Feng, what’s up?"
Tang Yan was editing videos on his computer and looked over at Li Peifeng with a puzzled expression.
"We’ve just recruited a new actor, you saw her just now, right? The contract’s signed."
"I saw! Tang Yan nodded repeatedly, "Quite a looker, will I be the main one filming her later?"
"No, listen to your Sister Yue’s arrangents for specific work," Li Peifeng shook his head, looked around, and lowered his voice, "I have a private matter that requires your help."
Company business isn’t important, the boss’s personal matters are crucial!
"Ah," Tang Yan beca serious, "Tell , Brother Feng!"
Li Peifeng quietly gave instructions, "The new actor is He Ying. There were so conflicts between her and your Sister Yue in the past. But considering her potential to beco very popular, I introduced her to our studio. Now, as long as I’m present, the two seem to get along well, but I’m worried problems might arise over ti. If you ever notice them having disagreents, make sure to notify imdiately!"
Tang Yan understood, "No problem, I get it!"
"Keep it confidential. Observe them both regularly, and if you notice any mutual dislike or other issues, report it to right away."
"Okay, Brother Feng, you can count on !"
"This isn’t tattling; it’s for the harmony of the studio!"
"Yes, exactly, Brother Feng, you’re absolutely right!"
Li Peifeng nodded in satisfaction, just as he was about to head ho, the office door opened, and Wu Wenyue walked out first, leisurely, smiling when she saw him, "You’re still here?"
"Ah, I was just about to leave."
Li Peifeng instinctively looked towards the door as He Ying also walked out, surprisingly with a smile!
"Sister Yue, can we have lunch provided today? I’d like to eat lotus leaf chicken from Cafeteria No.2 at noon, is that okay?"
"Sure, just tell Xiaowang when he arrives, he handles the orders."
"..."
Li Peifeng scratched his itchy head slowly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Brother Feng."
Tang Yan quietly leaned to whisper in his ear, "What did you say earlier? That they have a conflict?"
"It shouldn’t be."
Li Peifeng was equally perplexed.
Tang Yan, feeling a bit jealous, muttered, "Even when I’m comnded for my filming work, I only get an extra drumstick for lunch. She just started and asked for lotus leaf chicken, and Sister Yue agreed without hesitation. How co? Could it be the newcors outshine the old-tirs?!"
Li Peifeng ignored him, and while Wu Wenyue was in the restroom, he went to question He Ying directly, "How did you do it? Did you really apologize to her?"
"What does that have to do with you?"
He Ying restrained her smile, looking calm, "Mind your own business when it cos to girls’ affairs!"
Li Peifeng rubbed his chin, "Did you forget I’m also one of the bosses? Tell the truth!"
"Are you threatening ?" He Ying glanced in the direction of the restroom, unfazed, "Unfortunately, I’m not scared, now bug off. Keep your distance from in the future, so Sister Yue doesn’t misunderstand!"
"Your Sister Yue? That’s my Brother Yue! Tell , you witch, what magic did you use to win people over?!"
"Back off!"
...
He Ying joined the team smoothly and got along well with Wu Wenyue, sparing Li Peifeng any extra worry. Though a bit perplexed, he thought it was better to have peace than trouble, making everything more stable.
After leaving the studio, Mr. Li went straight ho, didn’t start writing imdiately, but first went to the bathroom, washed his face again, then sat cleanly by the bed in his bedroom, mumbling to himself.
"System, stop hiding, hurry up and let try the lottery to feel your presence!"
He had just completed the task [Savior of the Penniless Woman] yesterday and gained three lottery opportunities, yet hadn’t used them. Now he was finally ready.
A rainbow-colored roulette spun brilliantly before his eyes.
Li Peifeng looked carefully at each item and description until he saw one item, suddenly rubbing his hands in anticipation, "Oh, I’ve dealt with this wild system for so long, finally a decent reward!!"
