Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Hearing Zhang Ruonan's slightly nervous words, the teacher's gaze fell on her face, and she couldn't help but sigh...

No wonder!

No wonder he is so highly regarded.

Zhang Ruonan is beautiful, gentle, and has a soft personality; she is indeed the type that men would easily like.

"Don't be nervous, just treat me like an older sister and relax," the teacher said with a smile.

Having taken someone's money, one must naturally treat Zhang Ruonan with extra courtesy, unlike how one would treat one's own students.

Zhang Ruonan's nervousness eased slightly, and she bowed again, sincerely saying, "Thank you, teacher."

The teacher waved his hand and praised with a smile:

"You're so beautiful, why didn't you consider going to a specialized university when you took the college entrance exam?"

"Uh..." Zhang Ruonan thought for a moment and said softly, "I never thought about this at all during the college entrance examination."

Upon hearing this, the teacher said no more, feeling even more that the girl's luck was truly extraordinary.

Among my current students, there are many who are exceptionally talented and have excellent acting skills, but none of them have been able to land a leading role in a project yet.

In the entertainment industry, having powerful backers is far more important than acting skills themselves.

"Acting skills are something that is both mysterious and practical. In summary, the most important things are just a few points."

The teacher didn't say anything, and got straight to the point of the lesson.

"Dialogue, reactions, and relaxation—just these three points!"

Zhang Ruonan listened intently, sitting upright with a pen in her hand and a notebook lying flat on her lap.

Time slipped away quietly while studying, and in the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.

The teacher finished today's lesson and informed Zhang Ruonan that systematic teaching would officially begin tomorrow.

For Zhang Ruonan, these few hours felt like opening a door to a new world.

She doesn't have a deep love for acting!

Having never been involved in this field before, I am now truly immersed in it, and my heart is filled with a sense of novelty.

After finishing the class, Zhang Ruonan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to share her happiness with Shen Ci.

After leaving the dance studio, she wanted to send a message.

However, she found it difficult to fully express her feelings, so she simply dialed Shen Ci's number.

As soon as the call connected, Zhang Ruonan poured out her heart to Shen Ci about her meeting with the teacher and what she had learned.

After a brief pause, Shen Ci asked, "How is the teacher?"

"She's great, a really nice person, and teaches very clearly."

A warm feeling welled up in Zhang Ruonan's heart; she felt that Shen Ci was incredibly thoughtful.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci said, "That's good. By the way, did you ask the school for leave?"

"I spoke with the school, and the leaders agreed." Zhang Ruonan had already communicated with the school leaders beforehand.

Shen Ci said, "That's good. It would be troublesome if the school wouldn't let us go when it's time to film."

"No way!" Zhang Ruonan unconsciously started to whine, "Brother, when are we going to the capital next month?"

She was filled with anticipation at the thought of not only signing the contract next month but also receiving the script.

Shen Ci pondered for a moment and said, "Mid-month, I'll tell you the details then."

Zhang Ruonan's eyes lit up instantly, her voice brimming with excitement: "Mid-month? My birthday is around that time."

"What a coincidence?" Shen Ci feigned ignorance, then said gently, "That's perfect, how about I celebrate your birthday?"

Zhang Ruonan was so excited that she gripped her phone tighter, and she nodded blankly.

"Okay, thank you, brother!"

"You're already calling me 'brother,' there's no need to thank me. You should review what the teacher taught first, I have other things to do."

"Alright then, brother, go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, bye-bye."

After Shen Ci finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

At that moment, he was standing in the corner of the corridor. After ending the call, he turned around and went back to his office.

In the office, a woman was sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing Shen Ci enter, she immediately stood up.

"Don't be shy, have a seat." Shen Ci waved his hand, gesturing for her to sit down, and walked to the sofa opposite the woman, slowly sitting down.

The woman smiled politely, then sat down again, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a small sip.

Shen Ci looked at her and asked, "President Long, what's your decision?"

Upon hearing this form of address, the woman quickly replied, "Mr. Shen, you can just call me by my name."

"Hehe," Shen Ci smiled slightly, "Now that you've established a company, you're the boss, aren't you?"

The woman was none other than Long Danni, who was still working at Hunan TV at the time and had not yet taken the step of actually starting her own company.

Shen Ci arranged a meeting with Long Danni through Sun Huaizhong.

In the future, Wajijiwa will be an important company in the Tencent ecosystem.

Although Tencent publicly holds a small percentage of shares, it actually has absolute control.

Ma Yankun's temporary position at Wajiji is extremely rare among other external companies within the Tencent ecosystem in the future.

At this crucial juncture, Shen Ci hopes to push for the early establishment of Wajijiwaji.

According to his plan, Tencent Video needs to have its own external company.

Of course, Shen Ci also had some of his own little schemes in mind...

Since Qingmei wants to enter the entertainment industry, she naturally needs a reliable company to rely on.

He didn't want Zhang Ruonan to sign with another company.

Moreover, there may be other people in the future, and it would be even better if they could all work for our company.

Long Danny was genuinely surprised to receive Shen Ci's invitation.

She had indeed always had the idea of ​​starting a company, but she had never revealed it to anyone.

I really can't understand how Shen Ci knew!

What puzzled her even more was why Shen Ci had approached her; she desperately wanted to find out.

"Mr. Shen, why did you come to me?" Long Danny asked seriously, looking directly at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci crossed his legs, picked up a cigarette case from the table, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to Long Danny.

Long Danny politely accepted the cigarette, and seeing that Shen Ci had already lit his cigarette, he took out a lighter from his bag and lit his own.

"At Hunan TV, you were involved in every stage, from pre-production planning to post-production. It's rare to see someone as knowledgeable about the entire process as you are."

Shen Ci paused, took a drag of his cigarette, and continued.

"And your greatest strength lies in bringing the right people together without causing any trouble..."

With a cigarette between his fingers, Long Danny lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "You flatter me."

"That's no flattery," Shen Ci shook his head, looking at Long Danny, "How have you decided?"

He was very confident about this, not to mention that Long Danny himself had the idea of ​​starting a company...

The Tencent brand alone is enough to attract many people.

Tencent's investment—an opportunity so many people dream of!!

Long Danny naturally understood the pros and cons, but her work at Hunan TV had always been stable and smooth.

She worries that if she leaves Hunan TV to start her own business, she might encounter various unknown problems...

In that case, it might not be as good as developing a career at Hunan TV.

This worry left Long Danny feeling extremely conflicted.

"Mr. Shen, may I consider it?" After weighing the options in his mind for a long time, Long Danny finally made up his mind.

Shen Ci naturally agreed, but at the same time gave a clear time limit.

Give me a concrete answer next month.

"Okay!" Danny Long replied.

She knew in her heart that Shen Ci was putting pressure on her, but she also felt that it was understandable.

If he didn't agree, Shen Ci could always find someone else.

However, Long Danny thought of the most important question.

"So, regarding the company's development, does Mr. Shen have any specific requirements?"

"Given your expertise in variety shows and artist management, what are your thoughts on the idol industry?"

"I believe the idol industry has a bright future in the country. The industry has immense potential!!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Long Danny's eyes.

She was surprised that Shen Ci understood her thoughts so well, and a feeling of finding a kindred spirit welled up in her heart.

"That's good. Go back and think it over carefully," Shen Ci said, stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray.

Long Danny also stubbed out his cigarette, picked up his phone, and said, "Mr. Shen, would it be convenient for me to add you as a contact?"

Shen Ci readily opened his phone, pulled up a QR code, and handed it to her. Long Danny scanned it and added her as a friend.

Her proactive action made Shen Ci realize that the matter was almost certainly settled.

"Go back and think it over carefully," Shen Ci said again.

"Okay, Mr. Shen, I won't bother you any longer."

Long Danny flew in from Changsha, and now he has to hurry back to Changsha.

If it weren't for Sun Huaizhong's influence and the prestige of Tencent...

She wouldn't rush this trip like that.

However, at this moment she felt that this trip was worthwhile!
