Actor: Thank you.

Every profession has its own rules.

One of the rules in the entertainment industry is that you can't say whatever you want.

Or rather, this rule applies to every industry.

Many people have died because of their words, and many others have succeeded because of their words.

Jia Shikai had a loose tongue, so he used the most direct and severe methods to completely shatter the other party's dignity.

And through actions, make them understand that everything they have is worthless to me.

Even your direct superior, Cai Yinong, won't save you.

This person is particularly adept at tormenting artists and manipulating them using various methods.

Because he originally came from Tianyu Media.

Although Zhang Yuan from Hunan TV often collaborated with them, he also knew that some people on the show used rather unethical methods, and their skill in persecuting others was even greater than their ability to make programs.

Having come from this place, he was influenced by what he saw and heard, and thus became accustomed to using this method.

Zhang Yuan deliberately used a level of education that exceeded his usual limits, not only to set a good example for Boss Cai, but also to make the other party completely despair.

It is only when people are desperate that they can make good use of their talents.

Just like ancient emperors who would leave capable ministers for their successors, they would deliberately demote or even dismiss some capable people before their death, so that their successors could personally appoint them when they took office.

There is a philosophy behind this approach to personnel management.

The simplest explanation is the combination of kindness and severity.

Petty people are disrespectful when you get close to them, and resentful when you keep them at a distance.

He must be completely obedient before he can be used; otherwise, it's better to destroy him completely so he can't survive in this industry, lest he turn his knife against himself.

When Zhang Yuan suggested taking him back to his side for "training," both Cai Yinong and he were stunned.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Shikai felt that the beating he received today wasn't entirely for nothing.

After that, my platform level rose to the next level.

Zhang Yuan's stuff is definitely more high-end than sugar figurines.

But I also felt more pain all over my body, especially when I opened my mouth.

Why the hell am I so stupid?!
If I had known better, I would have denied everything and blamed it all on Tsai Yi-nong. That way, I wouldn't have gotten a beating and I could have even gotten a promotion.

He didn't understand that if he didn't get this meal today, he would have to get it another day.

Otherwise, Zhang Yuan wouldn't be able to use him effectively.

The first thing he was asked to do was to deal with Yao Cheng's problem!

Let him do what he does best and create negative publicity.

As a result, he will inevitably come into contact with more information about me and the people around me. If we can't teach him to shut up and keep his mouth shut, how can we trust him?

Mr. Cai was quite dissatisfied.

Good guy!
Not only did you plant people in the sugar company to monitor their personnel and finances, but you also poached people from my company?

What she didn't know was that, given Jia Shikai's ambition, the sugar figurine couldn't be kept.

Because of Mr. Cai's personality, he can only run a small, family-run business at most; people with greater abilities want to venture out into the world.

"Shikai's skills aren't up to par; I'm afraid he might not be able to handle the work on your end," Boss Cai said, giving a polite but firm rebuff.

“The first thing I asked him to do was to have him, under my supervision, deal with all the negative information about Qianqian online,” Zhang Yuan immediately replied, finding a reason that the other party couldn’t refute.

Mr. Cai pursed his lips and brought up the matter he knew he was in the wrong again.

Zhang Yuan, however, became increasingly relentless.

"By the way, should we let Shishi know about this?" He looked at the person who was applying an ice pack.

Jia Shikai felt icy cold all over, even colder than the ice pack in his hand.

After all, it was he who asked before, "Does Shishi know about your relationship with Qianqian?"

He quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, Shishi guarantees she won't know a single word."

"She's that kind of fickle woman..."

Zhang Yuan: !!!
Just as Jia Shikai was about to curse a few words to appease Zhang Yuan, he saw that Zhang Yuan was about to get up again.

"A woman as graceful as a willow should have fewer worries," he quickly corrected himself.

Zhang Yuan ignored him; he was still just as shameless.

What right do you have to comment on what happened between me and her?

Even if I never see her again, she was once mine. Who are you to gossip about her?
"President Cai, regarding the drama 'Scarlet Heart,' you..."

"I immediately went to the set to inquire about the situation and asked them to stop what they were doing."

"We'll start work again after this is all sorted out," Boss Cai hurriedly replied, making a decision for fear of causing an even bigger problem.

“No, you misunderstood me.” Zhang Yuan waved his hand: “In any case, it’s a matter between me and Shishi.”

"It shouldn't interfere with the film crew's work."

"Just continue as usual, don't stop filming."

"Personal matters should not affect the company's operations." Zhang Yuan gave a very magnanimous response.

If things get out of hand now, and the production is even halted, people will eventually blame themselves, but more often they will blame Liu Shishi.

He will definitely resent her.

Fine, let's give Boss Cai some face and try to make amends for what just happened.

Only by alternating between attack and defense can a sustained effort be achieved.

and also……

"I will inquire about the plagiarism of 'Palace' and deal with it at the appropriate time."

They also managed to gloss over the matter.

See, I'm not going to pursue the matter with the "Scarlet Heart" production team anymore, so you have to let go of "Palace" as well.

Zhang Yuan managed to strike a balance, and Boss Cai nodded helplessly.

"Okay, let's talk about other things then."

"Brother Long, go find a repairman to fix the door. I acted impulsively, so I'll compensate you."

"Dandan, help Mr. Jia back to his office to rest."

"You'll have the next week off."

"These are all superficial injuries; they will heal quickly."

"Come to the capital and report to me in a week."

"Go ahead." He waved his hand, signaling the other person to leave.

The other party didn't utter a word and quickly got up and left.

When I left, I felt strange because after the pain subsided, it seemed that my physical movements were not restricted.

When Mingming was a child, his dad would whip his bottom with a belt, and he would be unable to walk for three to five days, so he would have to sleep with his back sticking up.

"It's getting late." Zhang Yuan glanced at his phone. "Let's talk about the new drama, 'Xuan-Yuan Sword'."

"Copyright is not a problem, I'll handle it. We just need to sign an agency agreement."

"The next issue is staffing."

Cai Yinong was still recovering from the close call and her mind was in a mess.

He shook his head before taking out a stack of documents from the drawer.

But when she handed it to Zhang Yuan, her face showed unease.

"I still plan to cast Hu Ge in this film; we've already finalized the schedule."

"As for the female lead... my original plan was to cast Shi Shi, since she has made great progress recently."

"Should we still let her act now?"

Actually, Mr. Cai originally wanted to reunite the three actors from "Chinese Paladin 3" for this project.

These are three of the most outstanding actresses from the post-85 generation: Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan.

However, Yang Mi's conflict with Boss Cai stemmed not only from disagreements over advertising revenue but also from her role in "Palace," effectively ending all contact between them.

So now it's just Liu Shishi and Tang Yan left, plus the new girl they've set their sights on, Nazha.

But now Liu Shishi... right?

Mr. Cai was very conflicted.

If Zhang Yuan really gets angry and intends to deal with the other party severely, what will happen to the new play?

"Hehe." Zhang Yuan chuckled lightly. "Didn't I just say that?"

"The production crew comes first."

"Personal matters should not affect the company's plans."

"Oh, I see."

Mr. Cai pondered that it was simply a matter of raising it high and then lowering it gently.

Okay, you've given us a good beating, but you haven't even slapped Shishi.

Cai Yinong completely understood. When she went to the film crew to inquire later, she would use this as a basis, trying to persuade them rather than punish them.

“That newcomer, Nazar, is also quite good. You have a good eye,” Zhang Yuan said, flipping through the casting information.

Cai Yinong knew what was going on, and this was settled.

“But this person.” Zhang Yuan pulled out a file and threw it on Boss Cai’s desk.

What's wrong with him?

The one Zhang Yuan drew was one of the candidates for the second male lead, Chen Jingchou.

That is, the later "famous" Jiang Baofu.

"I don't like him." Zhang Yuan didn't even bother to give a reason.

Overall, this guy is a sports student, which fits the stereotype of sports students.

He's not very bright, but his hands are faster than his brain, and he likes to keep changing girlfriends.

And this guy also likes to date foreigners, wanting to try all kinds of flavors.

Regardless of whether the other party deliberately set him up or not, he actually committed domestic violence.

Even in a fight, he actually used his hands. Unlike Johnny Depp, who played Captain Jack Sparrow, who didn't actually fight back, and Amber Heard even pooped in bed.

He did win the case, but it was a domestic violence case against his Uruguayan girlfriend.

The ex-girlfriend from the island nation admitted to domestic violence, but the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office did not formally indict her in the end.

And putting aside the domestic violence issue, he also has problems at work.

Later, he had a falling out with the sugar figurine maker and they went to court, which he did himself.

In the end, he lost the case, which made it so that no company dared to hire him.

Zhang Yuan can tolerate bad things, but he cannot tolerate stupidity, especially from men.

If a woman is stupid, as long as she's pretty enough and not a bad person, I'll let it go.

But it's really dangerous for a man to be this stupid, especially since this guy also loves to talk nonsense.

If it were before, and Zhang Yuan used "I don't like him" as an excuse, Boss Cai would definitely have argued with him based on reason.

I'll cultivate anyone I set my sights on.

This is also Hu Ge from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, a junior of Yuan Hong and others.

But now she hesitates and dares not refute, especially after what happened with Wu Qilong.

"Have you had any contact with Jinfu before?" Boss Cai had been holding back for a long time, finally wanting to ask.

"No, I just don't like the look of him, is that not allowed?" Zhang Yuan asked her, tilting his head.

“Okay, I understand.” Cai Yinong then threw the document into the trash can right in front of him.

“I previously asked you to take good care of Chen Chuhe from Taiwan.”

"Although he is not particularly talented, he is very good-looking and works very hard."

"Give him more chances," Zhang Yuan added immediately.

Boss Cai has a plan; let him go.

An artist's career can be decided in a single thought, without even needing a proper reason.

But this isn't unique to him. That's how it is in the entertainment industry; when casting directors choose actors, it largely depends on their own preferences and first impressions.

"President Cai."

As they were talking, a soft female voice came from outside the door... or rather, from outside the door frame.

"You're here. We were just talking about your business." Zhang Yuan glanced at Nazha, who was standing ramrod straight.

She drank alcohol during dinner last night and was so drunk that she didn't get up until almost noon. She's here to say hello to Boss Cai and that she's going back to the capital.

"That's perfect, I'm leaving too."

"Let's share." Zhang Yuan stood up and straightened his clothes.

"What happened here?" XJ stared at the broken coffee table and slammed her hand on the door panel against the wall.

"President Cai is doing a big clean-up," Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

Tsai Yi-Nong: ...

Could your excuse be any more ridiculous?

"Oh, is that so? Do you need my help?" Naza was still being polite.

Tsai Yi-Nong: ...

He dares to say it, and you dare to believe it.

"No need, someone will take care of it in a bit. Let's go."

Zhang Yuan invited her to leave together.

Mr. Cai glanced at the two figures as they left, lost in thought.

"A new generation replacing the old?"

"Wow, I've never flown first class before," Naza exclaimed, covering her mouth and giggling.

Zhang Yuan asked a flight attendant to hand her a hot towel.

"As long as you act well, you can travel in first class after you become famous."

"I'm just giving you a preview now."

"This is so great." She touched the armrest of the seat: "Before, when I flew economy class, I could never stretch my legs out."

She lifted her thigh.

Zhang Yuan glanced at it and thought, "Hmm, it's white and long, it really can't be laid out."

The girl was very interested in him, especially after seeing the flight attendants and the flight attendants asking him for photos, she showed an envious look.

Her weakness is obvious: she is not very intelligent.

Its advantages are also obvious; although it's a bit clumsy, it's very generous.

She didn't feel awkward or overly cautious when Zhang Yuan asked her to upgrade her cabin class; instead, she accepted it as a matter of course.

It wasn't because she thought I was pretty and deserved special treatment; she never even considered that.

It is evident that his family is well-off.

After chatting for a while, I learned that she had attended private schools since she was a child. Her family had connections and planned to get her a stable job in the Xinjiang branch of the People's Liberation Army's cultural troupe.

However, the year she went there, the system underwent reform, which delayed her by a year. She later took the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy.

If the performing arts troupe hadn't undergone restructuring, she would probably have lived a stable life within the system, eventually being chosen by the son of some leader to become a military wife.

But every cloud has a silver lining; what is lost on one front may be gained on another.

That's life's twists and turns; if he hadn't failed in his attempt to enter the system, he wouldn't have become a big star later on.

Overall, Mr. Cai's vision remains consistent.

This person's personality is about 70% similar to Shi Shi's; both are not aggressive, have a gentle appearance, and are not particularly intelligent.

This kind of girl isn't assertive, and chatting with her is very satisfying.

She's happy to listen to whatever you say and agrees with everything you say.

And after Zhang Yuan talked about his acting experience, especially his development overseas, this person showed even more admiration.

Many men enjoy the feeling of being admired by young women, which gives them a strong sense of psychological satisfaction.

Zhang Yuan occasionally found a moment of relaxation in chatting with people who didn't require much brainpower.

After all, there have been too many upsetting things, and I need to take a break.

However, one specific manifestation of this girl's lack of intelligence is that she always brings up topics that are difficult to discuss.

That's what happened in Boss Cai's office just now.

"What is your relationship with Miss Shishi?" she suddenly asked, out of the blue.

He revealed a gossipy and expectant expression.

“Me and her…” Zhang Yuan frowned.

"We're practically family friends; our elders are old acquaintances." That was all he said.

“I thought she was your girlfriend,” XJ said bluntly.

"At least we're friends," Zhang Yuan replied simply.

From that moment on, my interest in chatting waned.

"Did I say something that upset you?" After a few minutes, the girl seemed to realize what had happened.

"How about I show you a magic trick?" She covered her face with her hands, then suddenly opened them.

"Look, I'm a flower, hahahaha..."

Zhang Yuan: ...

You know what, if Wang Baoqiang did this, he could unscrew the cabin door and kick it down.

But this girl's modeling advantage is too great. Even with such boring and greasy flirting skills, her good looks make her passable.

And it opened its flower bud towards me...

"Hehehe." He chuckled along.

"After you arrive in the capital, you can come to me when you have free time or if you encounter any difficulties."

“Okay, I’d like to drink soy milk,” she replied with a smile.

"My name is Dou..." Zhang Yuan wanted to play the straight man, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Forget about pica, just eat something good."

After landing, he said goodbye to the other party.

"He said he'd treat me to dinner, but then he just turned around and left," the man said, pouting at the airport.

"But he's so handsome and rich."

She only saw these two things along the way.

Zhang Yuan had official business to attend to and didn't have the time or inclination to continue teasing her.

He first went to the office building in Wangjing to check on the renovation progress of the headquarters of Cross-Strait Film Industry.

It's alright, it's already in the final stages.

He went to find Zeng Jia again.

"I met a girl from XJ these past few days, she's quite pretty," Zhang Yuan said casually to his agent while sitting on the sofa.

"You like it?"

"Are you planning to hire people?" Zeng Jia straightened up.

"No." Zhang Yuan had no intention of bringing Nazara to his company.

Don't try to take it from Boss Cai anymore; it's easy to provoke him. Be moderate and don't "bully him too much."

"This girl from XJ participated in the audition for 'The Feast of Kings'."

"When I was watching the video, I found that another girl from XJ was also quite pretty."

"She has a good figure and dance background."

"Let's call her Dilireba. Go and get in touch with her."

Now that we've already met this girl, it's best to try and win her over as soon as possible.

After all, these are all new generations... (End of Chapter)
