Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 319 Tian Xinwei and Wang Sicong just got up

"Hello, everyone!"

Chen Xiu stood on the stage with a microphone in hand and greeted the audience.

As the boss, he should have addressed the company's employees and artists at the annual meeting, giving them a pep talk and boosting their morale.

Fortunately, this situation was not difficult for Chen Xiu.

"As is customary, I will first give you a brief overview of the development history of Datang Pictures."

Holding the microphone, Chen Xiu's mind raced as she spoke, "This company started as a personal studio. At the time, I was preparing to audition for 'Diamond Lover'..."

Reba's body trembled, her expression filled with reminiscence, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Yang Mi glanced at her with a smirk, thinking: Zeng Jia didn't want you to take the role in "Diamond Lover" back then, but you insisted on auditioning. You got the role but were almost replaced... So it turns out it was just a trial before takeoff.

"...After filming 'Diamond Lover' was completed, I thought that since I would continue acting in the future, I might as well expand the company. That's how Datang Pictures came about, and our first project was 'Detective Chinatown'!"

Chen Xiu briefly described the establishment of the company, and then changed the subject.

"After the establishment of Datang Pictures, the first person I want to thank is Zhong Lifang! Yes, the beautiful lady who just came on stage to speak to everyone."

Chen Xiu waved to Zhong Lifang, who was sitting in her seat, and continued, "Back then, when I invited Sister Lifang to join Datang Pictures, we had a gentleman's agreement."

"The content was that if Datang Pictures couldn't reach a certain scale within three years, she would have to go back to manage her own company. Last month, she sold that company, so that's probably her answer!"

"It is precisely because of her as my head housekeeper that I have been able to have more time to handle other work. Therefore, if we were to talk about the number one contributor to the development of Datang Film Industry to this day, she would undoubtedly be the one!"

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

The audience spontaneously applauded, and Zhong Lifang clapped along with glistening eyes.

Chen Xiu set up an option pool at Datang Pictures this year, and Zhong Lifang, as the general manager, received the most shares as an incentive.

If the tangible benefits are provided, along with the emotional value, it's almost certain that she won't have any other ideas.

After completing the internal management and setting an example, Chen Xiu added, "I believe everyone knows a little about my situation. Besides acting, I have other jobs."

"Many people, including my friends and partners in other fields, have doubts about whether I founded Datang Pictures just for fun or if I really want to make the company bigger and stronger!"

"I can tell you with certainty that the answer is the latter."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the newly joined Bai Yu, Wu Sanshi, and Yi Yang all lit up.

Employees understand that working with a capable and visionary boss will lead to a brighter future.

After setting the goals, Chen Xiu then talked about the company's specific development.

"After more than two years of development, Datang Pictures' content production has gradually improved. Next year, we will produce three movies, four TV series, and an animated short film."

"In terms of content production, I still adhere to the principle of striving for excellence. As for the artists signed by the company, I hope that you can focus on improving your professional skills."

"As long as you can act well, you'll definitely have no shortage of viewers..."

At this point, Chen Xiu suddenly stopped.

Although he quickly shifted his gaze and continued to make grand promises to his subordinates, he still kept an eye on Wang Sicong and Tian Xinwei out of the corner of his eye.

It looks like they're about to fight...

Five minutes ago, Chen Xiu got up and went on stage, and Wang Sicong turned to flirt with Tian Xinwei.

Wang, who always uses his looks to pick up girls, was stunned by Tian Xinwei's comment, "You're so greasy!" and then received a firm rejection: "I don't like playboys."

Normally, if Tian Xinwei had rejected him so directly, Wang Sicong should have turned back dejectedly.

However, Young Master Wang might suddenly want to act like a jerk.

Or perhaps he found being rejected novel; in any case, Wang Sicong's smile became even more excited after seeing Tian Xinwei's "threatening" clenched fist.

"Xiaotian, what perfume are you wearing? It smells really nice."

"..."

Tian Xinwei stared wide-eyed at Wang Sicong, thinking: Is this guy crazy?
Wang Sicong was brimming with confidence. Xiao Tian's astonishment was interpreted by him as a sign that he had successfully started a conversation and could continue chatting.

"If you sit next to me, I can smell what kind of perfume it is."

"You're so greasy! Am I greasy or not? Heaven!"

"Where's the oiliness? I'm just chatting with you because I enjoy it."

"Thank you, but it's no trouble at all. You're too kind, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

Tian Xinwei leaned back, thinking that if it weren't for the annual meeting, she would have already started rolling up her sleeves.

Wang Sicong didn't find his words greasy at all; on the contrary, he believed that he was communicating with sincerity.

Therefore, he chose to continue.

"Look, it's fate that we met here today. Let's add each other on WeChat."

"Hehe, you seem to have a special connection with so many people."

Xiao Tian's witty remarks were sharp, and Wang Sicong's confidence was unparalleled.

"That's different. Look, why do I chat with you instead of other girls?"

"There's nothing of your taste among them."

"...If you feel uncomfortable, we can be friends first!"

"..." Tian Xinwei felt that she could barely control her eye-rolling, and her temper was just as uncontrollable.

Her silence was interpreted as tacit agreement by Wang Sicong.

Wang Shao chuckled and pulled out his phone, then handed it to Tian Xinwei: "Here, I'll scan your QR code. Other girls always scan mine first!"

"..."

Tian Xinwei remained unmoved.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere behind them, Peng Yuchang and Yi Yang, who were sitting next to Wang Sicong, began to give way, and then went to eat the empty promises that Chen Xiu had made.

Ignoring the big-eyed cutie's silent anger, Wang Sicong urged, "Take out your phone! Oh~, is it because your dress can't hold a phone? Tell me the number, and I'll search for it..."

"You little idiot, can't you understand human language?"

Tian Xinwei, her brows furrowed, interrupted Wang Sicong in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect.

She felt that she had already done a great job of enduring until now; if she endured any longer, she would become a ninja.

Bai Lu and Zhou Ye, who were sitting next to Tian Xinwei, also looked surprised and astonished when they heard her words.

They know their best friend is tough, but isn't this... a bit too tough?
Wang Sicong's reaction was a beat slower, because he needed time to process the surprise brought by those words.

For a long time, he has been able to have an easy time in love by virtue of being the son of Wang, the richest man in China.

Even before Yang Mi was divorced, he dared to express his love directly, and Yang Mi could only politely refuse. Her husband didn't dare to utter a single word.

As a result, even someone like me was scolded by a little girl at Datang Pictures today!
Thinking of this, Wang Sicong's face slowly fell, and he stood up halfway from his seat to look down at Tian Xinwei.

However, he didn't lose his temper after all, and he knew whose territory this was, so he had to be patient.

"You just wait, I'll settle the score with you later!"

"Humph! Who's afraid of who?"

Having already won over Tian Xinwei, she doesn't care about anyone else.

Chen Xiu also witnessed the confrontation between the two.

This forced him to quickly wrap up his grand plan, which he had originally intended to spend several minutes drawing, halfway through, and let Wei Feng speak before returning to his seat.

Seeing Wang Sicong had already sat back down, Chen Xiu skipped over him and glanced at Tian Xinwei. The big-eyed cutie looked back at him with a defiant expression.

Then, Chen Xiu turned her gaze back to Wang Sicong: "What's going on?"

"What happened? Your employee yelled at me? That's incredible..."

Wang Sicong curled his lips, looking every bit the spoiled brat.

Chen Xiu frowned slightly and looked at Tian Xinwei, asking for her opinion with her eyes.

Xiao Tian gave a soft snort, turned her head away, neither looking at Chen Xiu nor Wang Sicong, but her attitude was one of tacit agreement.

Chen Xiu frowned even more, while Wang Sicong's smile became even more pronounced.

Chen Xiu glanced at Bai Lu, who was standing next to Tian Xinwei, and leaned forward, saying, "Bai Lu, have Xiao Tian go to my office."

"oh oh."

Bai Lu had just finished replying and hadn't even had a chance to turn around and say anything when Tian Xinwei had already gotten up and left the meeting room, heading towards the office area.

Wang Sicong glanced at her smugly, then turned around and heard Chen Xiu say, "You come too!"

"Huh? Me? Why?"

"No reason needed, just come with me!"

After saying that, Chen Xiu got up and left, and Wang Sicong could only follow her reluctantly.

Those who remained in the venue silently watched the three figures as they left.

When they arrived at the office door, Tian Xinwei was already standing by the door with her arms crossed, her eyelids half-closed, and her lips turned down.

Chen Xiu opened the door, glanced at the two silently, and gestured for them to follow.

Wang Sicong glanced around, thinking: Why am I getting angry with a minor celebrity? I'll just go in later, make her apologize, and that'll be the end of it!

Tian Xinwei was at the very back, so the task of closing the door fell to her.

As Xiaotian slowly closed the door, she thought to herself: "Hmph! Considering you treated me to that Haidilao meal, I'll accept it if you want me to apologize to this idiot, but if you try to use your position as the boss to pressure me, I absolutely won't stand for it."

The relationship between Chen Xiu and Wang Sicong is known to everyone online.

Tian Xinwei naturally assumed that her boss wouldn't offend a friend for the sake of a small-time artist like herself, and that taking the initiative to apologize was the best outcome she could imagine.

however……

"Snapped!"

"Hiss~~, ah, damn it!"

A loud and clear sound rang out first, followed by gasps, screams of pain, and angry curses.

This series of strange noises made Tian Xinwei nervously turn around, lean against the door, and look ahead.

Wang Sicong was seen holding one hand, looking at Chen Xiu with a wary expression, and taking steps backward.

As he retreated, Chen Xiu continued to close in, chanting, "Stretch out your hand..."
