Chenyin Broker Firm

The monthly meeting was the time when artists of all sizes in the company can gather together.

Several young talents who had just entered the industry for less than a year gathered together. Looking down from the corridor on the second floor of the company, artists from other production groups rushed to the conference hall in bright clothes.

Although Chenyin can only be regarded as a medium-sized brokerage company in the entertainment industry and hasn’t released a super-first-line artist in the past ten years since its establishment, those second- and third-tier artists who have participated in star dramas and popular variety shows were among these only in the 18th century. From the perspective of the newcomers who make a face in the network, they were all objects of envy.

“Oh, when will we get through this?”

“If you still have activities to run, be content. The character I played last time didn’t even have 10 lines, so I was paid 10,000 yuan. I can’t even pay my rent with it!”

“For those of us who signed in the same group in the company, Lin Hu is the luckiest, right? I heard that she went to shoot the inner cover of ‘QUEEN’ last week.”

“Tsk, all her resources come from eating human blood buns…”

A girl curled her lips and was beaten by her companion before she could finish her sentence. After turning around, she saw a young girl walking down the stairs.

It was Lin Hu who they just mentioned.

Immediately, a group of young people put on smiling faces, gathered around, and began to greet each other.

“Sister Lin, you are about to become a big star, so you don’t even reply to the group dinner news?”

“Long time no see, Lin Hu, your resources are going to take off recently, do you have any job recommendations for me…”

The entertainment industry was such a snobbish place.

People smiled and called you brother or sister in person, but they can insert a knife behind your back. The friendship in this circle that has been building up for several years can be torn apart easily for a resource.

Lin Hu glanced at the embarrassed girl who said bad things about her but remained indifferent.

Suddenly, one of the girls complimented: “I heard from the gossip that you are going to be in Director Liu’s drama series. Lin Hu, you can’t forget me when you become popular in the future!”

She was already in a bad mood and suddenly became even worse.

At this moment, the noise on the first floor suddenly became louder, and everyone followed the sound to look downstairs.

A young woman in casual clothes came in from outside, with indifferent brows and eyes, black hair, and snow skin, so exquisite that people couldn’t move their eyes.

Many staff members around raised their mobile phones to take pictures of her and let out bursts of exclamation.

It’s Gu Zhisang

She just stood there, as if she had a wall with everyone around her.

The eyes of several young girls followed her into the elevator, and then they suddenly came back to their senses, “Oh my God, she is so beautiful, it’s the first time I’ve seen a real person with such a small face…”

Before she finished speaking, she stopped abruptly under the slightly strange eyes of others.

But Lin Hu said: “She is really beautiful.”

She has always known that she was the kind of egoist who was most suitable for the entertainment industry.

She knew that the reason why Qian Zheng wanted to change roles and grab resources was not that she wanted to flatter herself, but simply because she wanted to kill Gu Zhisang.

But she wants to be popular, she was the beneficiary. If she does not take these resources, they will be given to others, and she will offend the narrow-minded Qian Zheng.

So although she felt a little guilty in her heart, she just accepted all this silently, protecting herself wisely.

After attending the regular meeting today, Lin Hu knew that the change of roles that Qian Zheng had been tossing about was over.

At that moment, her mood was very complicated, she was disappointed and unwilling, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In a situation where the whole network was black, it can turn around. Lin Hu thought it was not bad to lose to such a person.

Before entering the elevator, Gu Zhisang felt a rather complicated gaze staring at her, and she accurately captured a girl in the crowd on the second floor.

After thinking for a moment, she asked in her mind, “Have I seen that person before?”

The system said angrily: “She is the Lin Hu who will take away your resources!”

“Oh……”

Gu Zhisang was a little surprised, she thought that the legendary Lin Hu would be an unreasonable person who hated herself, just like the vicious female supporting roles in the novels she read boringly.

She didn’t take this matter to heart and came to the door of the conference hall on the third floor.

After entering, the vice president of Chenyin and Qian Zheng with gloomy and ugly expressions were sitting inside.

Seeing her coming, the vice president immediately put on a smiling face and stood up to greet her: “Long time no see, Sangsang, you are getting better and better! Come and sit here.”

Gu Zhisang didn’t shirk, and sat directly on the chair, with his fingertips resting on the tip of her chin with a casual expression: “What did you ask me to come here for?”

Qian Zheng’s face was distorted, and he stared at Gu Zhisang, wishing to dig a hole in her body with his stare.

The system muttered: “Those eyes if I don’t know the real situation, I will think that you, Sister Sang, dug his ancestral grave…”

To Gu Zhisang, who had seen the most vicious ghost, this bit of hostility was simply scratching the surface.

She glanced at the thick blue-gray depression on Qian Zheng’s face, and said to the system:

“Using insidious means to harm people, it’s no wonder he would be backlashed. Not to mention, he is committing suicide by enshrining evil spirits in his own home. His mind has long been affected unconsciously. During this time, he must be pretty unlucky.”

As she said that, she looked coldly at the blue and purple infant ghost on Qian Zheng’s shoulder.

The last time she saw this ghost in the hospital, she used a little trick to break the amulet on protecting Qian Zheng’s body.

Without something to block the evil, the evil thoughts and power of the baby ghost began to erode Qian Zheng.

Just like what Gu Zhisang said, nothing went well for him for more than half a month.

First, the store he invested in and opened was reported to be unsanitary, and was ordered to suspend business for rectification;

Then the stocks he bought with half of his net worth plummeted, and he lost a house in half a month. In terms of business, he still had no resources and was overtaken by other brokers.

He was so unlucky, but that damned Gu Zhisang turned over in the first rank of an artist with a bad reputation and was thanked by the official.

The main important thing was, it was in the show he arranged for her!

This made Qian Zheng so uncomfortable that he couldn’t eat well, and when he saw Gu Zhisang’s face, he felt depressed.

At first, he thought that he could disturb the resources of “Legend of the Floating Sea”. Director Liu let her go, but today he suddenly called the vice president, and said that it was impossible to replace Gu Zhisang!

Seeing that the comment and reaction to Gu Zhisang changed little by little, and her popularity rose wildly, the upper management asked him not to target her anymore, and apologized respectfully in front of her?!

Qian Zheng had no good thoughts. He believed that Gu Zhisang must either have raised an evil thing or found someone to change her luck. She couldn’t turn herself over.

As far as her performance in “Spiritual Affairs” was concerned, it can be seen that someone taught her.

He has brought this idiot with him for more than two years. If Gu Zhisang knows metaphysics, then a sow could climb a tree!

At this time, the vice president coughed lightly and started to play the emotional card, “Sangsang, you have been with us for almost three years now. When you were a newcomer before, we noticed your potential and signed you into the company. Now that your contract will expire in less than half a year, I have discussed with the upper management of the company to raise your salary and give you a better contract.”

Gu Zhisang smiled, “Then the company’s ‘cultivation’ of me in the past 2 years, in exchange for my role and resources, are you saying that I should be grateful to you?”

She knew from the original body’s memory that Chenyin Broker Firm wasn’t the so-called digging and cultivating talents at all.

At that time, the original owner was tricked into drafting when she first entered the entertainment circle. She only thought of becoming a big star. She didn’t even know that she was signing the most demanding contract level, which was commonly known in the circle as a “selling contract”.
