Chapter 320 - Huanyu’s Ace

After all, growing up, other than Xiao Xue, very few women had treated her this nicely.

She was probably turned into a socially awkward person by her dark past; thus, be it interacting with others or doing something else, she was mindful of her every action. Having very few friends, she treasured this seldom-received kindness.

She lowered her gaze to look at the time. She was still early for the interview.

As she exited the elevator, Qin Zhou seemed to have just reached the company as well. He was quite surprised to see her. "Ah, Shishi! You're so early!"

"Mhm! I couldn't hail a cab at my doorstep. Luckily, someone let me hitch a ride, so I was able to arrive here on time."

"Someone drove you here? Who?" He was puzzled by the coincidence.

"She seems to be called… Jun Mo." She learned her name from Youyou.

Jun Mo?

He furrowed his brows. "Where are you staying right now?"

"Xiangti Walk."

He was flabbergasted. Xiangti Walk was well-known for being a luxury residence in the capital, and she lived there?

"That's a very luxurious place! How did you manage to buy a property there?"

"I struck the lottery," she answered sheepishly without going into details.

"… What good luck." He let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

As he led her into the office, something came to his mind, and he asked, "Do you have a driving license?"

"Yes, but I can't drive."

"Miss Yun Shishi, how stupid can you be?" he asked rhetorically.

Feeling helpless, she asked in return, "Are you blaming me for not knowing how to drive?"

"Mm. Fine! After you sign the contract, I'll arrange a service for you, which will specially drive you back and forth to work."

Amidst his nagging, they reached his office. He passed her several forms to fill in and reminded her patiently, "Your interviewer later is Huanyu's head producer, and as his nickname of Ji Yanluo [King of Hades] suggests, he's a very strict person, so be careful with what you say during the interview."

"Mm. I will."

She had just filled in the forms when she looked up. "If I sign the contract, will I have a manager?"

"Yes." Qin Zhou retrieved the documents from her and read them thoroughly.

"Who will it be?"

"He he! Of course, it'll be me!" he smilingly declared. "Xingze specially requested me to take care of you. I'll lead you properly if you sign the contract with me!"

Qin Zhou was Huanyu's top manager. Regardless of his skills, his resources, or even his background, everything was top-class. Just simply having a noteworthy accomplishment of bringing Gu Xingze to fame, across Huanyu Entertainment, none could compare to him.

Even for a natural idol like Gu Xingze, without Qin Zhou's support, his current position would very likely be unattainable.

One had to admit that he was a formidable character. If others were to say that Gu Xingze was this entertainment empire's only king, then Qin Zhou could only be described as the secretary of state who supported the emperor wholeheartedly.

Gu Xingze had managed to land himself a role in a Hollywood blockbuster movie upon his debut; he had also secured the endorsement for the products of several fashion companies; lastly, a large sum of money was spent to produce his album… All of these were possible simply because Qin Zhou provided him with the necessary resources and connections.

What was the most important thing in the entertainment industry?

Listing them out from the most to the least of importance, everything went as follows: resources, background, skills, talent, aptitude, and looks.

Looks could be remolded; the lack of skills was fine as well. However, resources and background were things that, more often than not, could not be asked for.

No one in the entertainment industry dared to talk tough or groom whomever they wanted, but Qin Zhou simply had the guts to do so. No matter who it was, if he was determined, he could support one relentlessly, and the star would surely rise to fame under his care.

Many famous celebrities expressed their desire for him to manage them and even tempted him with lots of money into doing so, yet he remained unmoved.

He only had one artiste, Gu Xingze, under his care. All his resources were used on him, and others could only stay pressed.
