Chapter 224 Red Flowers and Green Leaves
Two updates today.

The day after returning to Tianjin.

At 10 a.m., after enjoying a paid massage in the apartment, Wang Luyao lazily lay on the sofa, wrapped herself in a blanket, turned the air conditioner to 18 degrees Celsius, and watched a videotape while drinking freshly squeezed juice. The feeling was indescribably pleasant.

Of course, it would be absolutely perfect if one could openly enjoy all of this in Zhang Yan's villa.

She wouldn't dare to do it openly, but she did have the guts to raid Chen Hong at night. If possible, she even planned to try on Chen Hong's pajamas...

Just then, the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. The maid, who was cleaning up the massage marks in the bedroom, quickly wiped her hands and came out, respectfully presenting the mobile phone to Wang Luyao.

"Ms. Wang, this is your phone."

"Hmm~"

Wang Luyao then calmly handed the juice to the other person and took her mobile phone.

That's what life should be like.

After all these days of hard work, isn't it all for the sake of enjoying the feeling of being superior to others?
After the call connected, she asked lazily, "Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Wang Zhongqi."

"Ah~"

Wang Luyao quickly sat up straight and smiled, "Brother Zhongqi, is there anything wrong with the expense report I submitted?"

Wang Zhongqi was Zhang Yan's trusted advisor in Tianjin, and Wang Jinghua usually gave him special treatment, so she naturally dared not neglect him.

"That's how it is."

Wang Zhongqi was very polite on the other end of the phone: "There are two actresses who claim to be recommended by President Zhang and want to join our Yuanmeng Pictures. President Chen is not at home right now, and I don't know much about this industry. I thought you were an actress, so I wanted to ask if you could help me evaluate them."

They're here! They're here!
Wang Luyao's alarm bells rang instantly, and she quickly agreed, "No problem, no problem. I'm free anyway, I can get to the company in half an hour—no, twenty minutes!"

After hanging up the phone, she jumped up and rushed into the bedroom, starting to search for suitable clothes.

There was actually a set of clothes on the bedside table, and even the shoes were ready-made, but it was a night raid outfit that had been prepared in advance and could not be worn during the day.

After hurriedly changing her clothes, Wang Luyao grabbed her mobile phone and headed out, only then remembering to ask, "Is my new car downstairs or at the company?"

"This one……"

How would a maid know this?

"Never mind, you go ahead and do your thing."

She hurried downstairs with her mobile phone in her hand, but after looking left and right, she couldn't find her newly bought Jetta. So she had to call Wang Zhongqi again and ask him to find someone to bring her car over.

Actually, the apartment building is less than half an hour's walk from the company, and it takes about fifteen minutes by bicycle.

But Wang Luyao is now a popular singer, and besides, she's an interviewer, so naturally she doesn't want to lose face like this.

…………

the other side.

Wang Zhongqi hung up the phone, stood up and said to the two girls in the office, "Please be patient, I'll go make some arrangements first. We'll start the interviews in half an hour."

Cao Ying and Qu Ying also hurriedly got up to see them off.

After Wang Zhongqi left, Cao Ying suddenly came to her senses, looked around, and finally commented, "It's not as magnificent as I imagined."

Before coming to Tianjin, she and Qu Ying each collected information about Yuanmeng. They only knew that the boss of Yuanmeng was pretty awesome, but they didn't know exactly how awesome he was.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that this was not "Little Wang Shuo" at all. Based on his dominance of the mainland music scene and his competition for the August 1st Film and Television Base, Wang Shuo should be called "Little Zhang Yan".

In terms of financial resources and local influence, Wang Shuo is far inferior to Zhang Yan, which makes Cao Ying have higher expectations for Yuanmeng Pictures.

However, the large courtyard where Dream Company is located is clearly not living up to these expectations.

Don't look at the house.

Qu Ying, however, had a different perspective: "Yuanmeng was only established last spring, and it has become so popular in just a year and a half. It is normal that its office space cannot keep up with its development."

"If you want to see, just look at the cars parked under the south wall. There must be at least ten of them—that's the true testament to Yuanmeng's strength."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying immediately knelt on the sofa and counted the cars one by one while leaning against the windowsill: "Including those two vans, there are exactly twelve cars—oh, one of the Santanas drove away!"

"They must have gone to pick someone up."

Qu Ying casually slapped Cao Ying on the buttocks and jokingly scolded, "Can't you behave yourself? If Director Wang sees this later, he definitely won't have a good impression of you." Although she said that, she was actually quite satisfied with Cao Ying's performance. In terms of looks, figure, and emotional intelligence, this girl was completely inferior to herself. She was simply the best supporting role.

About fifteen minutes later.

Wang Zhongqi then led Wang Luyao back to the office.

The moment their eyes met, Qu Ying sensed intense hostility and rejection in Wang Luyao's eyes—an emotion she was used to seeing in the modeling team, which made her feel a chill in her heart.

"Wang Luyao?!"

Cao Ying exclaimed joyfully, "It really is you! Your rendition of 'Your Tenderness I Will Never Understand' was absolutely wonderful, and your portrayal of Miao Ruolan was also excellent. I think it was even better than Cheng Lingsu!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Ying glanced at Cao Ying with surprise. She realized that she had underestimated Cao Ying. At the very least, this girl was more meticulous in her intelligence gathering than she was, and her natural ease and familiarity were something she could hardly match.

"Yeah."

Wang Luyao's icy expression softened slightly, and she asked with feigned curiosity, "How do you know our CEO Zhang?"

Qu Ying, fearing that Cao Ying might say something inappropriate, quickly interjected, "It's mainly through Director Zhang Guoli—we've acted with Brother Guoli before."

The way they said it made it sound as if the two of them were very familiar with Zhang Guoli.

"Oh~"

Wang Luyao felt that it was probably true, at least six or seven tenths of the truth, since he could say such a thing.

Should we call Brother Yan to confirm what he's thinking?
Thinking this through, Wang Luyao asked again, "What did President Zhang say at the time?"

Qu Ying dared not lie, since such things were too easy to verify, so he told the truth: "President Zhang only said that the agency was under the management of General Manager Chen, and he usually didn't interfere much."

"Oh~"

Now Wang Luyao felt more confident. Since Sister Hong was in charge, she could also be a mistress.

So she moved a chair and sat down behind the table with Wang Zhongqi, and began the formal interview process.

The first half was mainly hosted by Wang Zhongqi, who inquired about the couple's education, resumes, special skills, and marital history.

I heard that Qu Ying was the runner-up in the 'Second Annual Top Ten Models Competition in China's Supermodel Contest China Selection'.

Wang Luyao couldn't help but pout and say, "This competition's name is way too long. Is it some kind of low-level competition?"

You're the one who's a slut!
Qu Ying cursed inwardly, but smiled shyly and said, "I don't know how good this competition is, but it is quite well-regarded in our industry. Last year, I was the opening model for Pierre Cardin's fashion show in front of the China World Hotel."

Tsk~
So what if people walk around and comment on you? What's there to be proud of?
When Wang Luyao heard that Qu Ying had also played the female lead in a movie, she became even more unhappy.

Compared to Qu Ying's resume, Cao Ying's resume is rather unremarkable. She graduated from a technical school, studied beauty and hairdressing, and later worked as an extra in film crews a few times.

His most impressive achievement was his role in "Hippocampus Cabaret," but the show was canceled after only a few episodes.

If it were a proper talent selection process, Qu Ying would definitely have a better chance of winning.

but……

After the two of them cooperated to complete a skit performance at Wang Luyao's request.

Wang Luyao grabbed the mobile phone and said to Wang Zhongqi, "Brother Zhongqi, let me report to Sister Hong first and see what her opinion is."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your news."

Wang Zhongqi called her over for this very reason. The boss's wife wasn't home, and these two girls were "recommended" by Boss Zhang. He didn't want to take the blame for them.

We arrived at the outer corridor.

Wang Luyao dialed Chen Hong's cell phone. At first, her assistant answered, saying that Chen Hong was filming. After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Hong called back on her own initiative.

Wang Luyao briefly recounted the story, then added fuel to the fire: "Sister Hong, you didn't see it, that Qu Ying is as tall as a telephone pole, and her legs are incredibly long—and she's some kind of supermodel. I heard that all those models are vixens, they're always seducing men."

"Giggle~"

Hearing her speak in such a flustered Northeastern accent, Chen Hong laughed and said, "Really? That's quite interesting—what do you think of these two?"

"Is this..."

Wang Luyao pretended to hesitate for a moment before suggesting, "We definitely have to give Director Zhang face, but we don't need to accept everything. I think it's enough to accept Cao Ying. This girl isn't as pretty as Qu Ying, and she speaks very casually, so she shouldn't pose any threat."
