[The TV series The Editorial Room has seen a huge increase in viewership ratings. The number of views on online platforms has broken the record for Pineapple’s videos.]

[ The movie Murder of the Rose has broken 100 million yuan at the box office and is about to break nearly ten film records.]

In late August, all the news that appeared in front of Song Qingyou was good news.

Shengshi Entertainment was becoming more and more well-known in the industry. Even if there were still people who thought that the company was completely supported by Song Qingyou, they wouldn’t underestimate it anymore.

Because of this, a few variety shows that were currently broadcasting or were about to broadcast had taken the initiative to invite Shengshi Entertainment.

Song Qingyou had basically never cared about nurturing artists.

However, Shengshi’s training method was different from other companies.

As early as when the company decided to recruit new artists, Song Qingyou used basic information including education, appearance, professional ability, and expertise as the rating dimensions to divide all artists into several levels. The higher the level, the better the resources.

The people who would be sent to participate in the talent show this time would definitely be the most outstanding people in the company.

Song Qingyou asked Chen Lan for the name list.

After a while, Chen Lan walked in with a stack of documents.

The company did not train many new people. This stack of documents was almost everyone’s information.

Song Qingyou skimmed through a few pages.

“I don’t remember there being so little before?”

“The company’s rules are too competitive. Some pretty faces have already left. They only wanted to become celebrities because of their looks. They probably didn’t expect Shengshi’s conditions to be so ‘strict.'”

Such “strictness” was only relative. For example, other companies would not force their artists to take classes such as body shape, fashion, and fitness.

Since some people might not be willing, Shengshi allowed them to leave on their own during their internship.

Even though it cost the company a lot of money.

Song Qingyou chuckled.

“I’ve set the basic standards. Whether it’s an actor or a singer, we can’t have no requirements at all.”

“There are some popular artistes now, but their professional abilities might not be as good as the newcomers in our company,” Chen Lan sighed.

“That’s none of my business.” Song Qingyou raised an eyebrow.

“The rule of Shengshi is survival of the fittest, not bad money driving out good money.”

“You said that there were a few rookies that you had high hopes for. Which ones are they?”

Chen Lan reached out and flipped through the documents to find the few at the bottom.

“These three people, two men and one woman.”

Song Qingyou looked at them one by one.

“Wen Wan, 18 years old…”

“He Yuchi, 19 years old…”

“Ji Fan is also 19 years old…”

Chen Lan watched as she finished reading about them one by one before continuing, “I’ll send the three of them to a large-scale talent show.”

“This is the one i like the most.”

Chen Lan was referring to He Yuchi’s information in the middle.

“Look at his looks and his stats. Will he become popular just based on his looks?”

Song Qingyou looked down at his ID photo and nodded slightly.

The young man in the photo looked pure and obedient. It was the ‘first love face’ that the internet had mentioned. When he smiled, he looked like a boy next door. With such a comfortable appearance, his popularity with passersby would not be bad.

Chen Lan looked pleased. “I met him when I went to the Film Academy to look for a talent. He just started school and is studying drama performance.”

He was not bad looking and was studying at the Film Academy. To be able to enter a new company like Shengshi, Chen Lan must have put in a lot of effort.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sister Lan.”

Song Qingyou pushed the documents aside.

She could just take a look at these newcomers now.

After all, being famous or not was not determined by one’s own conditions. Sometimes, it depended on luck.

When Chen Lan saw this, she suddenly suppressed Wen Wan’s information.

“I just remembered something.”

“When Wen Wan entered the company, she said that she wanted to see you. 1 rejected her previously…”

“A fan?” Song Qingyou looked up.

If she was a fan, the company would have to consider whether to keep Wen Wan.

This was because artistes still had to maintain a distance from their fans. This was an underlying rule in the industry.

“I don’t think so. She said that she had something to tell you… However, it doesn’t matter if you want to see her or not. I’m just passing on a message. What can a rookie trainee have to say to you?”

“If it weren’t for the fact that she’s a little girl, I wouldn’t have passed on a message!”

If it was Ji Fan or He Yuchi, then they might be suspected of wanting to be ‘chosen’ by Song Qingyou. Of course, Chen Lan wouldn’t agree.

As for Wen Wan… That was unlikely.

“I won’t be free when 1 get busy.” Song Qingyou pondered for a few seconds. “Sister Lan, go and call the girl over now.”

At this moment, the rookies were basically all attending the body shape class, and Wen Wan was no exception.

Wen Wan herself was not as gentle as her name. Instead, she was a beauty with a thick face and a mature temperament.

The corners of her fox-like eyes were slightly upturned, and there was an unconcealable charm.

She was a relatively rare type among the newcomers in the industry.

“Sister Song.”

Wen Wan greeted him and subconsciously looked at Chen Lan.

Song Qingyou raised her hand, indicating for Chen Lan to leave.

The office door was closed again.

“Sit.” Song Qingyou gestured for Wen Wan to sit down.

“I heard from Sister Lan that you were looking for me?”

She took a sip of water and went straight to the point. “Let me say this in advance. All the artistes in the company have to follow the rules. 1 don’t accept unspoken rules.”

Wen Wan was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath. “Before I explain my intentions, I want to ask Sister Song first. You and Shen Xiyan are-” “Enemies.”

Song Qingyou replied frankly.

However, although she looked calm on the surface, she was wondering why Wen Wan would ask such a thing.

Especially after she answered, Wen Wan seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

“In that case, Sister Song should really want to deal with Shen Xiyan… I’m here to tell Sister Song that as long as it’s to deal with Shen Xiyan, I can do anything and follow all your arrangements.”

This meant that she was going to become a pawn in Song Qingyou’s hands.

“You have a grudge against her?” Song Qingyou asked, confused.

“Yes.” Wen Wan pursed her lips and her expression turned cold. “My surname should also be Shen.”

When Song Qingyou heard this, she thought that Wen Wan was the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family.

She only found out later that Wen Wan was the daughter of the first wife.

The woman who adopted Shen Xiyan was the mistress.

The mistress wanted to have a son, but there was no luck. So she kept saying in front of Shen Ji how much she envied the first wife for having a daughter, so she adopted Shen Xiyan and taught her how to make Shen Ji like her.

After that, the first wife fell ill and was hospitalized. She ran out of the hospital halfway and died in a car accident.

In the same year, the Wen family went bankrupt and the Shen family rose.

After the mistress became pregnant, Shen Ji did not care about Wen Wan even more and allowed her to return to the Wen Family. He did not care about her for more than ten years.

“What does this have to do with Shen Xiyan?” Song Qingyou asked.

Wen Wan’s eyes were sharp. “My mother suddenly ran out of the hospital because of what Shen Xiyan said to her.”

“I found the surveillance footage. Shen Xiyan told my mother that she was Shen Ji’s biological daughter.”

Wen Wan’s mother had a temper too. When she found out that Shen Ji had cheated on her before she gave birth to Wen Wan, she wanted to get an explanation from him.

Who knew that as soon as she rushed out, a disaster would come.

The car accident was an accident, but Wen Wan would never let Shen Xiyan off.

However, she was younger than Shen Xiyan and the Wen family could not compete with the Shen family now.

She could only take the unconventional path and find Song Qingyou.

When Song Qingyou heard this, how could she not understand? The young girl in front of her had probably been observing her for a long time.

“Actually, I don’t need your help.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Song Qingyou smiled. “But my company is lacking artists. You can prove your worth.”

“I understand.” Wen Wan said, “I’ll think of a way to win the competition.”

“I’ll wait and see..”
