AWB Chapter 178 The only daughter
Chapter 178 The only daughter
Xu Youyou opened the system panel.
Wen Shiyan, at the age of nineteen and in college, became a viral sensation thanks to her reputation as the "most beautiful campus beauty." She signed with an agency and became an idol trainee. However, before she officially debuted, she was blacklisted by the agency because she couldn't accept the unspoken rules. Later, with her parents' support, she passed the civil service exam and landed a job at the Shanghai Tax Bureau, successfully terminating her contract with the agency. This star, who should have been a shining star, has since left the entertainment industry.
Xu Youyou glanced at the Wen family's parents who looked nervous about their daughter, and couldn't help thinking that a happy childhood really can heal a lifetime. Some people are driven crazy by the unspoken rules, while some people always have the support of their parents and family behind them, and can turn things around even if they are in trouble.
Xu Youyou didn't like the chaotic things in the entertainment industry, but it also reminded her that even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop. People in the entertainment industry are always worried, so she must always pay attention to the mental state of the artists.
She thought to herself that when she returned to Shanghai, she would hire a professional team of psychologists for the company and also set up small classes on ideology and morality to prevent the company from raising lawless criminals.
Xu Youyou's eyes involuntarily fell on the word "superstar" again, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise wildly.
No boss would complain about having too many top stars in the company.
Song Zhibai had just become popular, and the company was very cautious in its management of him. They did not randomly accept random business endorsements for him. Up to now, he only had two endorsements in total.
The quality of these two endorsements is very high, one is a high-end watch and the other is a high-end mobile phone.
Even though he didn't have many endorsements, Xu Youyou had already made back the money she had invested in Song Zhibai in the early stages. The short drama that Song Zhibai had originally filmed became popular again after his TV series became a hit, and he became the king of the short drama platform for two months.
Not to mention the short drama, the long-tail income of this investment TV series, the short drama alone brought Xu Youyou nearly 100 million in distribution income.
Having seen the money-making ability of superstars, Xu Youyou naturally didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that she would not pay attention somewhere and cause her to go astray on the path to becoming a superstar.
Professor Wu suddenly said, "If you really want to hire a one-on-one tutor, you can go to our school. The freshmen haven't forgotten the basics yet, they have more time, and the age difference is not too big, so we have a lot of common topics. We can hire a few more girls, preferably from Luoyang, to take turns tutoring the little girl."
The Wen family's parents were still a little confused. "Sir, are you a teacher at a certain university?"
Xu Youyou explained: "Professor Wu is a teacher at Fudan University."
Upon hearing this, Wen's parents' faces were immediately filled with joy. Looking for a tutor who graduated from a prestigious school, was a female, of similar age, and even from Luoyang, with such conditions, it was clear that the other party was very dedicated.
After leaving the hotel, Wen's father had just started the car, but because he stepped on the accelerator too hard, the car rushed forward and he was immediately scolded by his wife.
"Drive slower! Our daughter will soon become a big star, our family will become wealthy, and our good days will soon arrive." Wen's mother suddenly became extremely cautious and reminded her daughter, "Baby, fasten your seatbelt in the back seat too."
Wen Shiyan said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm already seventeen, stop calling me baby. Last time I called you that, my classmates all laughed at me."
Wen's mother quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, Mom was wrong, I forgot again."
Wen's father steadied the steering wheel and slowed down his driving speed. He said worriedly, "Making money is good, but the most important thing is that our baby is happy."
Mother Wen rolled her eyes and said, "You can only be happy if you have money, baby...Yanyan, you must remember that only financial freedom can bring you true freedom."
Wen Shiyan quickly said, "Mom, since I'm going to make a lot of money, I don't want to continue studying. Studying is so tiring, and the college entrance examination is so stressful."
Wen's mother said, "That won't do. You still have to study hard and at least graduate from college. If the entertainment industry doesn't work out, you can become a teacher or a civil servant and have a stable life."
Wen Shiyan sighed when she heard this.
Mother Wen continued to coax her daughter, saying, "Don't blame me for being strict. You're my only child, and we wish you the best. Don't you want to go to Europe? After you finish the college entrance exam, I'll take you there for a month or two. How about that?"
Wen Shiyan immediately cheered, and then suddenly thought of something and said, "Mom, doesn't your company not allow long vacations?"
Mother Wen looked at her daughter tenderly and said with a smile, "Mom is going to retire internally and will accompany you to Shanghai for training later."
Mother Wen is only in her forties, and it's still early for her to retire. Retiring early will greatly reduce her future pension. Wen Shiyan said, "Mom, you don't have to do this for me. I'm an adult and I know how to take care of myself."
Wen's mother was also worried that her daughter would have a psychological burden: "I'm old and can't be as capable as young people. I always feel tired at work. This is a good opportunity for her to have a good rest."
Compared with the happy Wen family, the other girl's family seems much more unreasonable.
"If you don't give me 500,000, I won't agree to my daughter signing a contract with your company!"
A middle-aged woman with a materialistic look and a plump figure was slamming the table at Xu Youyou in the small conference room.
Xu Fang stepped forward swiftly, blocking Xu Youyou and stopping the woman who seemed to be about to make a move: "Please keep a safe distance in public."
Several bodyguards also showed some edge at the right time.
Li Cuiyun looked at the situation with a flicker of fear in her eyes, but she quickly stiffened her neck and said, "So what if you have more people? Do you dare to rob me? I'm telling you, without 500,000 yuan, don't even think about taking my daughter away!"
The staff member beside her patiently explained, "Auntie, please don't be like that. Our company signs people, not trades them. There's no fixed charter that says you'll be paid 500,000 just because you haven't signed a contract."
When Li Cuiyun heard the words "human trafficking", her eyes flashed slightly.
"I don't care! Your company is so big, you must have plenty of money. If you want to bring my daughter into the entertainment industry, you can do it, but you can't pay her less!"
The staff member said: "For artists who have not yet joined the crew, the company provides a basic salary of 5,000 yuan per month, including food and accommodation, and they live in single dormitories. Artists who join the crew will receive additional remuneration. This condition is already very good in Shanghai. Our boss is very willing to invest resources in artists. You will definitely not regret signing with our company."
Li Cuiyun was still making a fuss: "You don't have to tell me these things. You can even not pay her a salary, but I want 500,000! Not a cent less!"
The staff looked at Xu Youyou with embarrassment.
At this time, Xu Youyou was carefully looking at the pretty girl in front of her who was wearing a tattered school uniform. She couldn't understand why she was the target of the system's suggestion.
