Chapter 534
[525] I went with him.
"This is Twin Star Entertainment?"
As Zhu Xiaoyi and her best friend Liu Che stepped out of the elevator, they saw the "Double Star Entertainment" sign next to them and couldn't help but exchange a glance. "They're really rich!"
“Yeah, I thought that Xingbao was the only artist and the company wouldn’t be very big, but it turns out that the whole floor is occupied by her.”
The two whispered a few words at the door, walked in, told the receptionist they were there for an interview, and were then led to the adjacent tea and rest area to wait for a few minutes. The best friend continued to wait there, while Zhu Xiaoyi went into the office for the interview.
They don't hire many people here, so there wasn't a group of interviewees waiting together. After entering the office, there was only one middle-aged female interviewer with an average appearance and good maintenance. I asked her a few questions.
Some artist studios prioritize fans when hiring, and are reluctant to let fans be involved in the artist's work. However, Shuangxing Entertainment does not have this requirement. In fact, they explicitly stated that fans are given priority when recruiting, so they are unlikely to worry about fans turning against them due to issues with treatment and work.
Therefore, Zhu Xiaoyi did not hide her identity as the leader of the fan club—she had already stated it on her resume. After answering the first few questions in the interview, she had basically passed the interview. Then the topic turned to the fans and Chen Xingruo, and she immediately became much more relaxed.
"Xingbao...will Chen Xingruo come to the company?"
Zhu Xiaoyi took the opportunity to ask her question, and consciously corrected her form of address while speaking. After all, once she joined the company, Chen Xingruo would no longer be an idol but the boss, and her identity would change from being Chen Xingruo's benefactor to someone who received Chen Xingruo's salary. She needed to adjust her attitude in time.
The interviewer clearly noticed this detail and was quite pleased with it, smiling as he said, "Of course she'll come. Besides work-related needs, she sometimes comes unexpectedly, sometimes to record a song, sometimes just because she suddenly thought of something... In short, there will definitely be opportunities to see her."
"Great."
Zhu Xiaoyi smiled with satisfaction, but then remembered the question that had been troubling her, and carefully asked again, "Then... will President Xu Jinhuan come?"
"what?"
The interviewer was taken aback, not expecting her to ask this question, and then chuckled and said, "Mr. Xu has no direct relationship with our company and basically never comes here. Anyway, I've worked at the company for several years and I've never even met Mr. Xu once."
"oh oh."
Zhu Xiaoyi nodded, then cautiously asked, "What about Chen Xingzhu? Will he come?"
"No, not at all."
The interviewer was very polite, then shook his head and said with a smile, "But the two sisters look exactly alike, so seeing one is the same as seeing the other."
Zhu Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could pretend not to know about Xu Jinhuan's affairs. After all, this matter was not directly related to Chen Xingruo, and it was better for an ordinary person like herself not to get involved in the affairs of someone of Xu Jinhuan's level.
The interviewer asked with a smile, "Are you also a fan of the Xu Jinhuan and Xu Jinhuan pairing?"
"Not really, it's just curiosity."
Zhu Xiaoyi quickly explained, "I am loyal to Xingbao; Xingbao is the only sun in my heart!"
After chatting for a few minutes and confirming that she would be starting work next week, Zhu Xiaoyi walked out of the interview office in a cheerful mood. She waved goodbye to the interviewer at the door and walked briskly towards the break room.
"yeah!"
Upon seeing Liu Che, before she could even ask, Zhu Xiaoyi couldn't contain her excitement and expressed it first. Liu Che, seeing this, naturally understood and also exclaimed with delight, "You succeeded? Then treat me to a big meal tonight!"
"no problem!"
The two walked out of the tea room hand in hand. Zhu Xiaoyi was subconsciously looking for the exit when she heard a familiar, clear and pleasant voice from beside her: "Oh, I know, I'm outside, I'm not talking to you anymore."
This is??
Zhu Xiaoyi and Liu Che both widened their eyes in surprise and turned their heads in the direction of the sound. They saw Chen Xingruo wearing a light purple sleeveless floral dress, but on her feet were a pair of white canvas shoes that didn't quite match the fashion sense of a celebrity. She was holding a mobile phone and walking over.
Chen Xingruo!? I actually met her on my very first day at the company?
In reality, Xu Jinhuan was giving away a full skin account, or Chen Xingruo was handing it over to her. Zhu Xiaoyi felt that her luck had been off the charts these past two days and she could go and buy a lottery ticket. Fortunately, she had seen him once before at the King of Glory anniversary ceremony a few days ago. Although they weren't this close, she still had some self-control and didn't pounce on him directly. Instead, she immediately took out her phone.
As the group admin, how could she forget to record precious moments for the group members to see their idol up close?
However, as soon as she turned on her phone, Zhu Xiaoyi realized that this was not a public place, but Chen Xingruo's company. Therefore, she hesitated for a moment. Chen Xingruo had also noticed them by then. Seeing that they looked unfamiliar and like fans, she blinked curiously and asked, "Are you here for an interview?"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Xiaoyi initially responded subconsciously, but after a couple of seconds she realized what she was doing and nodded seriously in response, asking excitedly, "Sister Tan said I can come to work next week..."
She first identified herself as a prospective employee before cautiously asking, "Can I take a picture? I'm the administrator of your fan group, and everyone knows I submitted my resume."
"Let me see."
Chen Xingruo glanced down at her clothes, then smiled generously and said, "Go ahead and take pictures. Luckily, I did a simple makeup before I left home. I didn't slack off. It's true that celebrities need to have self-discipline."
Zhu Xiaoyi quickly turned on her phone to record a video and subconsciously replied, "I've seen you without makeup, and you look good too."
Chen Xingruo asked curiously, "When? I've been wearing makeup every time I go out lately."
Zhu Xiaoyi explained, "Many people have taken pictures of your sister without makeup. Don't you two look alike?"
That makes sense.
Chen Xingruo nodded in satisfaction, looking quite proud, and then asked, "What's your position?"
"New media operations".
Zhu Xiaoyi quickly replied, "Sister Tan said that we need to prepare for the operation of short videos and live streaming. I posted your videos on Douyin before. Sister Tan said that the influence of these platforms should be quite large in the future."
"Tch, that's not what Sister Tan said."
Chen Xingruo gave a soft humph, "It was all my sister who said it, and of course, my sister heard it from Xu Jinhuan... Hey, you're recording this, aren't you?"
She realized what she was saying halfway through, and before Zhu Xiaoyi could speak, she thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's not a trade secret, you can take pictures as you like."
"If Xu Jinhuan says that, then it's bound to become a hit!"
Zhu Xiaoyi was surprised that Xu Jinhuan's name had appeared again before she even started work, and she started to feel conflicted again. Liu Che, who had been silent all along, finally found something he could say to Chen Xingruo and excitedly pointed at Zhu Xiaoyi, saying, "We know Xu Jinhuan too! Xu Jinhuan even gave her a complete set of Honor of Kings skins!"
"what?"
Chen Xingruo was about to leave when she heard this and became curious again, asking, "Do you know Xu Jinhuan?"
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Che nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice, and poured out his mouth like beans from a bamboo tube: "Three or four years ago, the two of us went to Huangshan for fun and met Xu Jinhuan with... uh, with other people. That's how we got to know each other."
"what?"
Chen Xingruo was taken aback. "I went to Huangshan with him that time. When did you two meet? How come I didn't know?" (End of Chapter)
