After the group arrived and left in a flurry, Chang Yun finally mentioned the people around Chen Yubai to Lu Wantang.
"The one wearing glasses is Liang Mei. She previously mentored Tang Yan and Xia Shiyu. She's quite capable. I originally wanted to suggest to you that she become one of the heads of the Xizhou branch, but she declined."
"You refused?" Lu Wantang was slightly surprised.
“Yes, he said he’s more used to being an agent. I saw that you were quite satisfied with Chen Yubai this time, and you even intended to promote him in Xizhou, so I told Liang Mei. She agreed after seeing Chen Yubai’s performance at Olinde Square.”
It's obvious that for a seasoned agent like Liang Mei to agree, she must have seen Chen Yubai's potential.
"The tall, brown-haired boy following Liang Mei is an assistant he was hired after arriving in Xizhou. He has only been out of school for two years and has experience as an extra and as a celebrity assistant. So far, Xiao Chen and he get along very well."
Lu Wantang recalled the other person's appearance, "Does he still have the idea of becoming an actor? The film and television department of the Xizhou branch is also going to be set up."
Compared to collaborating with artists from other companies or artists' studios, she still prefers the actors under her own company.
"Yes," Chang Yun nodded. "When he came to apply, he said he wanted to sign as an actor, but he could also work as an assistant even if he didn't have any acting roles."
Don't you feel a sense of disappointment?
"He said it's all work, if one doesn't work out, he'll switch to another. He has a pretty easygoing personality."
It was this carefree attitude that made the HR department think that even if he couldn't become an actor, he wasn't the type to be jealous of other artists, and being an assistant would be no problem for him.
Chang Yun spoke with no small amount of admiration in his tone.
“The young man standing next to him is his assistant, Xiao Liu. He has been with Liang Mei for a long time and has been with the company for almost a year. He is hardworking and knows her well.”
"I remember you have an impression of most people in the company, so you should remember him, right?"
Lu Wantang nodded: "Sanzhouyue and the others just came to the company, and Xiao Liu also went to follow them for a few days."
"Yes, that's him."
Lu Wantang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Chang Yun is always meticulous in these matters, and she doesn't care who Chen Yubai's agent and assistant are.
If the two parties don't get along, then they should just separate.
Tangxing is very democratic in this regard.
Meanwhile, the group that had left returned to their private lounge and were discussing Lu Wantang.
"Was I a little too impulsive just now?"
Chen Yubai had acted impulsively and chased after someone who looked remarkably like Lu Wantang without thinking of anything else.
Now that he'd calmed down, he realized that if Lu Wantang wanted to see him, she wouldn't have come to the show early without informing Liang Mei.
Liang Mei rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "You're only just realizing that?"
"But it's not a big problem. President Lu has always had a good temper. She probably didn't want to put too much pressure on you, which is why she didn't say she came to the scene in person. As long as you perform well tonight, she definitely won't be angry."
Chen Yubai replied hesitantly, "Then... to what extent do I need to perform? To avoid being eliminated?"
Xiao Liu said with an honest face, "Isn't the standard of not being eliminated too low? In any program that our CEO Lu participates in, he basically wins the championship! Besides, Brother Chen, how could you be so lacking in confidence?"
Liang Mei sneered: "Xiao Liu is right, Chen Yubai, don't lower your standards without permission!"
"I know, I know."
Chen Yubai raised his hands, looking as if he was surrendering.
"Oh, right." He put his hands down, "I was just about to ask President Lu about the competition rules, but why did you stop me and tell me not to ask, Sister Mei?"
Liang Mei raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you hear President Lu and the others ask you if you knew the competition rules? This means that President Lu didn't know either, otherwise why would she ask us?"
"I thought she knew the production team hadn't told us beforehand, so she asked to give me a hint."
Xiao Liu replied bluntly: "Brother Chen, you don't have that much influence yet, don't be so narcissistic."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yubai immediately looked depressed.
Liang Mei was amused. From the beginning, she felt that the daily life of these two together would be very interesting.
Chen Yu's eyes turned resentful, but seeing Liang Mei laughing incessantly, he quickly changed the subject:
"Sander, why aren't you saying anything? You've been silent since just now, this is so unlike you!"
Sander, the assistant and translator, snapped out of his daze, blinked, and then spoke in an exaggerated tone in Western Common:
"Oh! Is that our company's boss, your direct supervisor? She's so beautiful, like a porcelain doll! It's the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful Asian woman!"
Chen Yubai's face stiffened: "..."
Xiao Liu: "What is Sander babbling about? Why isn't he speaking Mandarin anymore? Judging from Chen Ge's expression, could Sander be confessing his feelings to you?"
Liang Mei: "Pfft—"
Chen Yubai's face twisted slightly: "Get lost! Even if Sander was confessing his feelings, it was to President Lu, not to me!"
"Hiss—" Xiao Liu gasped, "Looks like Sander's going to get fired. He was a bit too enthusiastic; what if he got too attached to the boss..."
Chen Yubai's expression hardened, and he made a decisive decision:
"Sander, office romances are forbidden!"
He made an X in front of his chest, "You absolutely, absolutely cannot have any improper thoughts about the boss, understand?"
"Otherwise, we'll have to say goodbye."
Sander's "chanting" came to an abrupt end.
She quickly returned to normal, saying, "Okay, I'm very satisfied with my current job and have no plans to change jobs."
Chen Yubai breathed a sigh of relief and informed Liang Mei and the other woman that the crisis was over.
After a few rounds of joking around, the door to the lounge was suddenly knocked on three times.
Before they could open the door, it was opened directly.
The first thing that caught the four people's eye was a video camera.
Secondly, there was the influx of staff.
Chen Yubai was completely bewildered.
Xiao Liu reacted extremely quickly and blocked his way.
Liang Mei stepped forward, "May I ask who you are—"
"It was a surprise interview by the production team," someone replied.
"With only half an hour until the show starts, we mainly want to show the audience a backstage view and let them know what the guests are doing backstage!"
"That's right, that's right, so we deliberately didn't give any advance notice."
These words were addressed not only to the people present but also to the viewers in the live stream.
Liang Mei left the scene amidst various gestures from the person in charge.
Xiao Liu also made way.
Chen Yubai's face appeared on the screen.
She was dressed neatly and had exquisite makeup, clearly having prepared well in advance for going on stage.
The entire production team was somewhat disappointed.
The person acting as narrator and guide made no attempt to hide their disappointment:
"It seems our seventh guest, Chen, was ready to go on stage long ago. We're already late!"
