Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 83 Annual Meeting, Ju Jingyi's speechless reaction is outrageous!

Yu Zheng was satisfied with Shen Ci's reply.

Li Yitong was a rough gem he discovered by chance during an audition some time ago; he felt that this girl had a star quality about her.

He then recommended Li Yitong to his friend Xu Yiruo, who was an experienced agent.

Li Yitong was naturally eager for such an opportunity and signed with Xu Yiruo's company without hesitation.

"Sister Ruo, Tencent has agreed to the meeting. You should have a good talk with them. In this industry, there are always trade-offs to be made."

Yu Zheng called Xu Yiruo to share the good news.

Xu Yiruo understood the implication of his words very well.

This kind of thing is commonplace in the entertainment industry; it's perfectly normal.

After receiving Yu Zheng's call, Xu Yiruo dialed Li Yitong's number. As soon as the call connected, she said, "The project is secure!"

"Really?"

Although Li Yitong was already in his mid-twenties, he had never really been involved in the entertainment industry. At this moment, he could not hide his excitement and said loudly.

"It's true, it was Mr. Yu who contacted Tencent Video. You can have dinner with them then."

Fearing that Li Yitong might not understand the deeper meaning behind "eating," Xu Yiruo subtly explained, "Then you can put your professional skills to use."

"Professional level?" Li Yitong vaguely understood something, but still couldn't help asking.

Xu Yiruo said, "Well, didn't you graduate from the Beijing Dance Academy? You must be an expert in this area."

'

""

Li Yitong was silent for a moment, then asked, "Sister, am I supposed to sleep with her?"

Xu Yiruo said earnestly, "I've been in this industry for so many years, and I know that there are no projects that you can get for free."

Li Yitong immediately seemed to deflate completely.

"Look at those popular celebrities, which one hasn't had dinner with clients?"

"There are plenty of replacements for the project candidates. If you don't seize this opportunity, there will be plenty of people vying for it."

Li Yitong felt a mix of emotions as he listened to these words.

I feel like I've already learned a cruel lesson before I've even truly entered the entertainment industry.

However, the thought of becoming famous, making money, and being adored by the public after becoming a star gradually made me more open-minded.

To be honest, Shen Ci was indeed full of anticipation when he heard Yu Zheng mention Li Yi.

But as time went by and his mood gradually calmed down, he began to think that the matter was insignificant.

Naturally, he no longer focused too much attention on this.

At this time, Tencent Video's annual meeting was drawing ever closer.

Before the annual meeting, Shen Ci wanted to meet with Gu Man to finalize the "Weiwei" project.

If Gu Man really doesn't give me face, then I shouldn't blame myself for being impolite.

Meanwhile, on the same plane flying from South Korea to the capital, there were four girl groups on board.

Since FX and Red Velvet are both under SM Entertainment, it's normal for them to travel together.

It was quite a coincidence that Kara and AOA appeared on the same flight.

South Korea has a limited territory, and there are only a few stages for music shows, so the members of girl groups are more or less familiar with each other.

On the plane, a group of girls were chatting.

After exchanging information, they were surprised to find that they were all going to the same performance.

After landing, the girl groups settled in smoothly and then went out for a meal together.

At the dinner table, Song Qian naturally became the center of attention.

Some girl group members who weren't familiar with Tencent (the parent company of Tencent) curiously asked her which company was so powerful...

How were you able to invite so many girl groups to perform together?

This stumped Song Qian. Due to the different national circumstances, she could only use a few South Korean conglomerates as examples for comparison.

After finishing her meal, Song Qian returned to the hotel, washed up, turned on the TV, and casually switched channels.

Suddenly, Zhang Bailian appeared on the TV screen; the third episode of "Go Fighting!" officially aired today.

The title sponsor for "Go Fighting!" has been found: JDB.

The beverage and fast-moving consumer goods industry has always been known for its deep pockets; the revenue from this sponsorship is enough to cover the fees of several guest stars.

The day before the annual meeting, several girl groups were rehearsing, while Shen Ci was in the company's conference room receiving Gu Man.

Gu Man did not come alone this time.

She also brought two people with her: Yang Yang and his agent, Jia Shikai.

"I'm so sorry to bother you. V and I came over without telling you in advance. We really feel bad about it."

Jia Shikai put on a smile, trying to ease the somewhat abrupt situation with this attitude.

These words made Shen Ci chuckle softly. He looked at Jia Shikai with a slightly teasing expression and said, "So you know you didn't say hello?"

Jia Shikai choked, his smile instantly freezing on his face, so embarrassed he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Gu Man quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"I wanted to bring W to meet you. I think he's really suitable for 'Love O2O,' and I wanted you to see him in person."

Shen Ci turned his gaze to Yang Yang, only to see that this W had a smile on his face, showing his teeth clearly.

"Now that you've seen her," Shen Ci said calmly, his gaze returning to Gu Man. "So, you can go now."

Shen Ci's blunt words instantly froze the smiles on the faces of Jia Shikai, Yang Yang, and Gu Man.

"Professor Gu, we've been talking to you for so long, and everything has been going smoothly."

"Did you even consider our feelings when you suddenly pulled this stunt?"

Shen Ci's tone was questioning.

He has always hated it when people impose unreasonable things on him; he finds this behavior extremely offensive.

Hearing Shen Ci's words, Gu Man felt both annoyed and embarrassed, and had to admit that Shen Ci's words were indeed reasonable.

"President Shen, I'm truly sorry." Jia Shikai quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly to Shen Ci, and expressed his apology.

After doing all that, he reached out and tugged at Yang Yang's sleeve.

Yang Yang also quickly stood up and bowed to Shen Ci.

"Alright, everyone go back now, Teacher Gu. We'll talk again when you've thought it through," Shen Ci waved his hand.

Gu Man wanted to say something more, but Jia Shikai stopped her with a subtle, almost imperceptible gesture.

Jia Shikai sighed inwardly, realizing he had been too hasty. The key issue was that Shen Ci's style of doing things was completely different from those people in the industry!

After the three left, Yang Yang seemed anxious and quickly asked, "What do we do now?"

"Don't worry, even if Tencent doesn't work out, there are plenty of other companies that would love to hire you," Gu Man quickly reassured her.

Hearing Gu Man say this, Yang Yang's mood calmed down a bit. He has always lacked his own opinions.

After the three left, Shen Ci immediately called Lin Xin over.

"Gu Man, keep a close eye on her. If she shows any inclination to submit her work to other companies, do everything you can to stop her."

Lin Xin nodded calmly and replied, "Understood, I'll go and communicate with the relevant parties right away."

Shen Ci paused for a moment, then added, "If she really has other ideas, you should carefully review W's tax records."

Lin Xin's expression remained unchanged. She simply replied "Okay" and turned to leave.

Just as she touched the doorknob, Shen Ci called her back.

"You'll be in charge of receiving Liu Shishi at tomorrow's annual meeting."

Lin Xin paused slightly, then replied, "Okay, Mr. Shen."

Shen Ci saw Gu Man's infatuation with Yang Yang as a perfect opportunity to make a story out of it.

He has always been extremely persistent in what he values ​​and doesn't like to give it up easily.

Tencent Video chose the Sports Center Gymnasium as the venue for its annual meeting, a venue that can accommodate more than a thousand people.

Initially, when the administration was developing the annual meeting plan, they only intended for full-time employees to participate.

Statistics revealed that the video department had only about a hundred full-time employees.

If that were the case, a large portion of the venue, which could accommodate over a thousand people, would be empty, negatively impacting the viewing experience. Sun Huaizhong made a decisive decision to invite third-party outsourced personnel as well.

To generate buzz for the annual meeting, Tencent Video even bought a trending topic.

Unfortunately, it sparked very little discussion.

The few comments available mostly revolve around the girl groups that are about to perform on stage.

On the day of the annual meeting, Shen Ci and Sun Huaizhong, along with other senior executives, traveled to the venue together by car.

Upon arrival at the venue, the staff in charge of the annual meeting immediately greeted us warmly.

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, Mr. Shen, why don't you all go backstage and say hello to the guests while you're at it?"

Everyone else turned to look at Sun Huaizhong, who in turn turned his gaze to Shen Ci, raising an eyebrow at him.

"You guys go ahead," Shen Ci nodded, then added, "I'm going to the restroom."

Thus, Shen Ci was separated from the other senior executives and led to the restroom by a staff member.

During the journey, Shen Ci sent a message to Sister Xia.

Not long after, Sister Xia replied that she would arrive in about ten minutes.

After relieving himself comfortably in the restroom, Shen Ci walked out of the stall with satisfaction and went to the sink to wash his hands.

There were only two sinks, and one of them was already in use. Shen Ci turned his gaze over there.

The person was wearing a pleated skirt with a nautical style, clearly an outfit for a performance.

Shen Ci immediately thought of the guests at this year's annual meeting, and without much thought, they should be members of SNH48.

The girl was already somewhat sensitive, and when she realized someone was watching her, she turned her head away.

In that one glance, Ju Jingyi saw Shen Ci.

She subconsciously assumed that Shen Ci was also a guest at the annual meeting, since he was in the backstage area.

Shen Ci immediately recognized Ju Jingyi, who was known as "Iron Crotch".

To be honest, contrary to the rumors circulating online, Shen Ci didn't find her ugly to be unbearable.

Although short in stature and with average physical development...

But her neat, straight bangs give her a friendly, girl-next-door vibe.

This kind of temperament makes people feel at ease, and it's no wonder that Ju Jingyi can stand out in the group and receive a lot of attention.

Her image perfectly embodies the Japanese kawaii style.

Ju Jingyi snapped out of her daze, nodded politely to Shen Ci, and continued to focus on washing her hands.

Being handsome is useless to her. In her heart, there is only one goal to become an idol: to become famous, famous, famous!

"Was your '4000-year beauty' marketing campaign your own idea, or the company's?"

Shen Ci turned on the tap and posed this interrogative question.

Upon hearing this, Ju Jingyi turned her head and looked at Shen Ci, a hint of anger appearing on her face.
