Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

No matter how difficult it was to sign the contract, Jiang Chi followed Murong Qiao’s orders to the letter.

After bringing Shi Yang back to the company, he received a report that the other three people had come to the company and were waiting for him.

After the first round of interviews, they all knew the strengths of the new recruits, so they were mainly here to discuss the intention of signing the contract with them.

Jiang Chi pushed open the door of the interview room without stopping. The moment he entered, he met a pair of unruly eyes.

“Xu Xiuzhu?” He confirmed.

Xu Xiuzhu nodded in acknowledgment, his sitting posture casual and indulgent.

He was a singer selling his skills on the streets. To put it nicely, he was a busker. To put it bluntly, he was a b.u.m who needed to worry about his food and shelter.

It was normal for Xu Xiuzhu, who usually relied on the streets to survive, to eat and sleep in the open. When he received the news of a company looking for talents, he immediately decided to come over and try.

Jiang Chi did not look down on him and explained the conditions of the contract clearly.

“Anything is fine.” Xu Xiuzhu accepted it very quickly. To him, the contract provided for food and accommodation. It was much better than selling his skills on the streets. Moreover, he could continue to sing the songs he liked. It was simply a dream for him.

The two of them quickly signed the contract, and Jiang Chi welcomed his next artiste.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m Cang Nanrong.” The second person to enter was a little girl who spoke timidly.

Jiang Chi saw her tugging at the corner of her shirt. She clearly felt a little nervous. He hurriedly revealed a friendly smile. “Don’t worry. We’re just having a simple chat.”

“Mn.” Cang Nanrong nodded gently and sat on the chair cautiously.

Jiang Chi asked some questions as usual, and Cang Nanrong answered.

The two of them were focused in the room and didn’t notice Murong Qiao, who had come to the company, standing at the door and looking inside.

Cang Nanrong’s voice was a little gentle, giving off a weak feeling. However, her face was beautiful, exquisite, and weak, easily stimulating one’s desire to protect her.

Murong Qiao’s gaze landed on the cotton dress the little girl was wearing today. It was a little discolored from being washed too many times. It was obvious that her family background was not good, but it was clean. Clearly, she placed a lot of importance on this meeting.

“Will 1 become good at singing if 1 sign as an artiste?” Cang Nanrong mustered her courage and asked.

Her family didn’t have much money, so Cang Nanrong didn’t have the chance to learn a money-burning hobby like singing. Now that she heard Jiang Chi say that she could sing when she became a performer in the future, she was a little unconfident.

“Of course. Our company will arrange for a music teacher to guide you.” Jiang Chi smiled and didn’t pressure her. “As long as you’re willing to learn.”

Hearing this, Cang Nanrong was relieved and signed the contract happily.

After the interview, Jiang Chi saw Cang Nanrong get up and leave. He subconsciously looked over and saw Murong Qiao standing at the door, observing silently.

“Boss?” He hurriedly got up and opened the door.

“I’m just here to take a look at the situation.” Murong Qiao nodded. “Have they all been signed?”

“There’s another one. She’s a mime actress. Her name is Chi Hanjing.” Jiang Chi glanced at the list.

This was the final name Murong Qiao had a.s.signed to him.

A mime? Hearing this ident.i.ty, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but be a little curious. In her previous life, she only knew that the other party was a very famous actress, but she didn’t expect her to be a mime.

“h.e.l.lo, interviewers.” Chi Hanjing pushed the door open and entered, greeting them with a faint smile.

She was dressed neatly and looked valiant at first glance.

Seeing Murong Qiao looking at the information, Jiang Chi said, “I came this time to ask if you have any intention of signing a contract with us. We think very highly of your acting skills.”

Chi Hanjing, who came from a mime family, had practiced her acting skills since she was young. Because she was a mime, she was much better at expressing her emotions than ordinary actors.

“The premise of signing the contract is that I… want to act in a mime,” Chi Hanjing said after hesitating for a moment.

She has been involved in the field of pantomime since childhood, but as time has progressed and with the advancement of modern technology, there are now more comprehensive entertainment facilities available. Consequently, pantomime has gradually declined in popularity, and fewer people are interested in watching it.

However, carrying her family’s obsession with pantomime, Chi Hanjing also planned to devote her life to pantomime.

However, times had changed.

“Pantomime… The audience pool is too small. I’m afraid it won’t work.” Jiang Chi had a more lenient att.i.tude towards the people Murong Qiao had picked, but he was also a little troubled by Chi Hanjing’s request.

Nowadays, pantomime is no longer popular, and there is no one who signs artists specifically to perform pantomime.

“Sure,” Murong Qiao suddenly said, attracting their attention.

“But you should also know that the prospects of pantomime are not good now. If you agree to sign the contract, the company can hold three pantomimes for you a year.” She raised her conditions readily.

In her previous life, Chi Hanjing’s acting skills were famous and she received the recognition of many directors. Later on, she acc.u.mulated many fans but didn’t give up on her original dream. In the end, she actually pushed the rise of the pantomime scene.

Murong Qiao also admired Chi Hanjing’s persistence.

“Alright, 1’11 sign the contract.” Hearing Murong Qiao’s promise, Chi Hanjing was tempted and signed without hesitation.

The interview session ended. Murong Qiao and Jiang Chi left the room together. As for the follow-up on these people, there would naturally be the corresponding staff to deal with it.

As they pa.s.sed through the corridor, Murong Qiao happened to hear a melodious voice in the recording studio.

“Walking through the fragrance of green gra.s.s, gazing upon the sky playground—”

When the clear and comfortable voice landed in her ears, it was as if it could cleanse her heart. A clean and transparent feeling arose spontaneously.

Murong Qiao pushed open the door curiously and saw such a scene.

A young man in white half-sleeves and jeans was standing in the recording studio singing. The light smile in his eyes seemed to be able to infect people, making the people who heard his singing feel better.

Just by looking at this scene, it was very beautiful.

Unfortunately, Murong Qiao followed Shi Yang’s gaze and saw that he was holding a pig in his hand.

Mn, a piglet.

The beautiful scene shattered in an instant. When Murong Qiao walked in, she saw the indescribable expressions of the two recording artists.

“h.e.l.lo, Boss!” Seeing Murong Qiao arrive, the recording artist hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

“This is?” Murong Qiao pointed at the little pig in Shi Yang’s arms with a puzzled expression.

At the mention of this, the recording artist was also embarra.s.sed.

“Shi Yang said that he felt that something was missing when he sang here.” He threw out the ridiculous explanation Shi Yang had given. “So…”

Jiang Chi had also heard this. Seeing Shi Yang holding the piglet, the scene he had seen when he went to look for him almost instantly appeared in Jiang Chi’s mind.

Mn, it was indeed like this.

“It’s so magical?” Murong Qiao looked at Shi Yang, who was singing in the recording studio, in surprise. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing.

The recording artist nodded helplessly and couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s right. At first, we didn’t believe it. It was only when he hugged the little pig and sang clearly much better than before that we realized that he was right.”

Fortunately, everyone was very accepting. Artists in the entertainment industry always had strange little hobbies. In comparison, it didn’t seem to be a big deal to bring a little pig along.

However, the scene of the young man singing with a pig in his arms with a good-looking face was really comical.

Murong Qiao also pursed her lips and smiled at Shi Yang. She didn’t expect the other party to leave such a deep impression on her.

“You’re the boss?” Shi Yang came out after singing the song and happened to see the recording artist address Murong Qiao as Boss.

He looked at Murong Qiao in surprise, finding it strange.

“Yes, welcome to our company.” Murong Qiao smiled faintly.

Someone knocked on the door outside. Jiang Chi went out for a while before returning with a dark expression.

“Boss, someone is causing trouble online.” Jiang Chi was concise and handed the tablet in his hand to Murong Qiao..
