Huayu: Live a carefree life

On the morning of the 27th, Lu Jie drove his LFA to take Hu Lianxin to the Capital Airport to meet her team.

She had already said goodbye at home before leaving, but the young girl still couldn't bear to part with her lover.

She clung tightly to Lu Jie's arm, pressing herself against his chest. "Brother, you absolutely have to come visit the set!"

"Mmm, when have I ever lied to you? I'll definitely go~" Lu Jie affectionately rubbed his chin against her hair.

"This is your first time playing the female lead, so ask Zhang Songwen if you don't understand anything."

"Songwen will officially join Lingjie Entertainment today as the Vice President of the Artist Department and Acting Instructor. He will be on set with you throughout the entire process."

Zhang Songwen was the acting coach that Lu Jie found for Xiao Hu, although it sounds a bit strange for a student from the Central Academy of Drama to be guided in acting by a teacher from the Beijing Film Academy.

However, based on our time together and Xiao Hu's verbal feedback and actual progress, Zhang is quite capable.

Moreover, he is very humble, and Lu Jie and Lin Zixian both have a good impression of him.

A few days ago, Lu Jie offered him the position of Vice President of the Artists Department and Acting Instructor at Lingjie Entertainment. Considering that he is also an actor, Lu Jie also gave him an additional promise.

If a suitable role comes along, not only will they not prevent him from taking it, but they will also use Lingjie Entertainment's resources to try and secure it for him, and this promise will be written into his employment contract.

With such favorable terms, Zhang Songwen was naturally very tempted. After considering it carefully for two days, he gave a positive reply yesterday and agreed to sign the contract this morning at Lingjie Capital in Guomao.

After returning to Beijing from Hengdian at the beginning of the month, Lin Zixian reported some good news to him: the candidate for the head of the artist department, whom he had been working on, had been agreed upon.

The candidate is Yang Yang Jin. Lin Zixian met her during his time at Sohu and they have kept in touch ever since. He saw that she was doing quite well behind the scenes.

After becoming the general manager of Lingjie Entertainment, I had the idea of ​​poaching people. After a long period of work, I finally got them officially hired this month.

Afterwards, Lu Jie asked Xiao Hu to consult her parents and then re-signed her contract under Lingjie Entertainment.

The personal studio sign remains, but all personnel have been transferred to Lingjie Entertainment.

Lu Jie didn't make any special arrangements for Xiao Hu's contract; he directly signed a ten-year contract according to the standard for newcomers.

Hu Lianxin was still a student. For the first five years, the revenue split was 90/100. For the next three years, it switched to 80/20. For the last two years, depending on the artist's growth, it switched to 70/30 or 60/40.

Regardless of the profit-sharing ratio, the company is responsible for paying taxes and providing proof of tax payment. The "Fan 800 Million" incident that concluded last month was truly terrifying.

"Ah, then Teacher Zhang will soon become my direct supervisor~" Xiao Hu blinked her big, bright eyes.

Lu Jie smiled and gently rubbed her cute nose. "Nominally, he's your boss, but actually you're his boss, because you're the boss's wife~"

"Hehe, it seems so~" Xiao Hu happily bit her lip, kissed Lu Jie again, put on her mask, picked up her bag and got off the bus.

"I'm leaving now, remember to come see me!" After taking a few steps, she turned back and peeked into the front row. "I'll also send you a Mine video~"

Lu Jie's lips twitched. Ever since Xiao Hu saw Chu Ran's Mine video, the girl had been eyeing it and would often secretly Mine it herself.

Not only that, she also told Chen Yao, who had cried with her and played the triangle stability game.

Then Chen Yao became the second girl to send Lu Jie a Mine video. Fortunately, unlike Chu Ran, she didn't send it every day, but every few days.

Liu Haocun got together with Lu Jie the next day and naturally discovered that, in her words, Lu Jie was not only a scumbag but also a pervert.

But considering Xiao Cun's tsundere nature, it was only a matter of time before he dug it up and showed it to himself...

Lu Jie playfully poked her forehead. "Stop talking nonsense all day long, focus more on filming!"

"Ouch, that hurts~ I know, okay, big brother~"

…………

Later that evening, in the conference room of Lingjie Capital's headquarters in the China World Trade Center office building.

After witnessing Zhang Songwen sign his employment contract, Lu Jie smiled and stepped forward to shake his hand, saying, "Welcome, Teacher Zhang, to the company."

"Mr. Lu, you're too kind. It's an honor to join Lingjie Entertainment. I'll be heading to Xiamen in a bit."

"No rush, we'll take the official photos tomorrow morning, and start the script reading in the evening." Lu Jie waved his hand with a smile, "Let's have dinner together tonight."

Turning to Yangyang Jin and Lin Zixian, he said, "Those of you who have family members tonight, please bring them along. It's a private dinner, and I'll bring them too."

Lin Zixian, who was closest to Lu Jie, was the first to agree, "Okay, President Lu."

Lu Jie smiled and patted his arm. "Hmm~ Zixian, would you please show Songwen Building around first, and let's take a look at the technology and finance sections as well."

"Yangjin, call He Jiaxi to my office."

"Okay, boss." Yangyang Jin replied and left the conference room with Lu Jie one after the other.

After Lu Jie left, Zhang Songwen finally asked the question that had been bothering him, "President Lin, didn't Xiao Hu already go to the film set?"

Lin Zixian chuckled and patted his shoulder. "You'll see tonight. Our CEO Lu has a real knack for dealing with women~ Come on, let me take you for a look around KeTou Company first~"

…………

"President Lu." Yangyang Jin and He Jiaxi were led into the president's office by Xiao Liu.

Lu Jie sat at the tea table, smiling and beckoning, "Come and sit down. It's nothing serious, let's talk while we make tea. Xiao Liu, come over here too, learn how to make tea from Xiao Wu."

"Okay, boss." X3

Lu Jie quietly watched Xiao Wu's Kung Fu tea performance, but it was a pity that she was wearing an ordinary business suit; it would have been perfect if she had been dressed in traditional Chinese style.

After drinking one cup, Xiao Wu began instructing Xiao Liu on how to add more tea.

"Yangjin, you should know about those 'five big and three small' women's magazines, right?"

Yangyang Jin was stunned for a moment by Lu Jie's abrupt question, and subconsciously nodded. As his agent, she naturally knew this.

Boss Lu wouldn't be asking her to handle fashion resources, would he? That's giving her too much credit. I was just about to say that I don't know anyone in the fashion industry.

Lu Jie nodded, picked up a folder from his side, and handed it to Yangyang Jin. "These are the fashion resources the company has. You and Jiaxi can take them back and study how to utilize them."

"Huh? Oh..." Yangyang Jin opened the book and flipped through it, becoming more and more surprised and delighted as she read. "Boss, the company owns shares in Bazaar, ELLE, and Marie Claire?"

Lu Jie calmly took a sip of tea. "To be precise, I personally own shares in the Fashion Group, the parent company of three magazines. It was introduced to me by Tencent's Pony Ma."

Yangyang Jin took a deep breath, "The only ones missing from the Big Five are COSMO and VOGUE..."

"Huh? Oh, turn to the next page. My classmate's dad is the editor-in-chief of VOGUE's domestic partner, Pictorial Publishing House."

He added with a smile, "A very close classmate who started a ride-hailing business with me."

"I know people at the Wenchuan Media Group, which owns COSMO magazine. Besides, we've got the other four publications sorted out, so why wouldn't this one get published?"

Lu Jie also took the time to instruct Xiao Liu on how to add tea, "Xiao Liu, the tea is very hot, so don't fill it completely, just fill it to 7%."

"Understood, boss," Xiao Liu said, indicating his humility in accepting the offer.

Lu Jie nodded in satisfaction and continued to say to Yangyang and Jin Ernu, "I originally planned to acquire one or two of the remaining three brands, but these damn foreigners are all ruthless."

"Then ignore them. I don't believe their bones are harder than the Five Greats."

"That's already amazing!" Yangyang Jin exclaimed sincerely. He Jiaxi, who was also learning for the first time that her company had such abundant fashion resources, nodded in agreement.

Yangyang Jin hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should all of this be arranged for Miss Hu? May I offer a suggestion? She's still too inexperienced; appearing in these magazines rashly might backfire..."

"Yangjin, you don't need to be so cautious when you talk to me." After saying that, she glared at Xiao Wu, who dared to roll his eyes at her. "Of course, you can't learn from Xiao Wu either."

"Although the company currently only has Xiao Hu and um..." Lu Jie pursed his lips, "Julielan has already been signed, so we're not considering her fashion resources for the time being."

"You will also be in charge of Chen Yao's management and business, and there's also Wang Churan in Shanghai. They are both my girlfriends."

Lu Jie can now speak slang and vulgarities without blushing or losing his temper. "In addition, you will also be in charge of the business contracts of the new 'Mou Girl' Liu Haocun."

"First, pick out a suitable magazine for Chen Yao and Liu Haocun, and shoot the cover for next March's issue."
