When Jiang Yu got out of the elevator, he had forgotten about the man. Until two days later, he was blocked again in front of the elevator.

“Oh, I thought you had something to do. It turned out you were just a stand-in.” The white-haired young man crossed his arms in front of Jiang Yu, and this time he was followed by several people.

Jiang Yu stared at the white hair on his head before recognizing him. Some of the people around the man were also familiar with him. After thinking about it, they remembered that when they came to meet Lin Cheng on the first day, they saw him on the sofa in the lobby.

These were the newcomers to the company. They were assigned to different agents, and they first followed the seniors of the same agent to familiarise themselves with the environment.

They haven’t filmed any shows yet, but they were working hard. Then they heard that Yan Shu had signed a newcomer. Yan Shu was the company’s gold medal broker, and she never signs a new contract easily, but as long as she signs it, it would definitely be a big hit. Since Qiao Mo, Yan Shu’s actor, abruptly cancelled the contract, Yan Shu had not signed any contract. They also wondered if they could enter her eyes. Now Yan Shu suddenly signed a contract with a person from the outside, and listening to Chen Rui, it was said that he was just a stand-in. He was very young, and he didn’t even get admitted to the Film Academy. Such a person couldn’t compare to them. They really did not know why Yan Shu chose him, and under jealousy and dissatisfaction, they followed Chen Rui to take a look.

At the first sight of Jiang Yu, they recognized the handsome boy they saw in the hall that day. Originally, they wanted to mock him, but after seeing him, they all stopped. His looks were top-notch in the circle. No wonder Yan Shu will sign him.

When he saw the few people around him, Chen Rui, the white-haired young man, was unhappy, and glared at them a few times. The young man in ripped jeans on the left hand leaned at Jiang Yu and said. “You haven’t studied acting, do you know how to act? Sister Yan actually signed a vase.”

Chen Rui was satisfied and poked Jiang Yu’s chest, threatening. “Child, the entertainment industry is very difficult. Don’t think that because you have signed with Sister Yan you are the best. You immediately apply for a change of agent, or I will make sure you wouldn’t have any film to shoot in the future.”

Chen Rui was not talking empty. His step-father was the company’s general manager, the chairman was his uncle. Among the newcomers, he was the one with the most prominent background. His step father had previously said that Yan Shu would be his agent. The thought of having Yan Shu as his agent was suddenly cut by this child.

Even if he was talented, he had never learned to perform. He was just a stand-in. This child was only good-looking, where else was it worth Yan Shu to sign him? He was not okay with this.

Jiang Yu took a step back and rubbed his chest with his hand. He looked at the white-haired young man and tightened his lips.

“Say what you want to say.” Chen Rui thought that he asked for mercy.

“…You, it’s better to dye it black. It will be mosaics on TV.” Jiang Yu stretched his fingers and pointed at his hair. The teacher told him some of the current rules, including that he couldn’t look weird and lead bad children.

Chen Rui, “…”

Chen Rui was angry. He rolled up his sleeves, when suddenly Yan Shu’s voice came from behind him. “What are you doing here?”

“Sister Yan.” A few people around Chen Rui turned around quickly, panicking.

Yan Shu glanced over several people, stopped on Chen Rui, then looked at Jiang Yu and called out, “Jiang Yu come here, I have something for you.”

Jiang Yu walked over to her.

Seeing Yan Shu take Jiang Yu away, Chen Rui gritted his teeth, and the elevator door suddenly opened. His assistant came out and saw him. “Brother Lin asked you to go upstairs.”

Chen Rui was impatient, “What’s the matter?” Brother Lin was his agent. Although he had some qualifications in the company, he was far less talented than Yan Shu.

“There will be a reception tomorrow night. Many directors and screenwriters in many circles will participate. Brother Lin will take you to get to know people. Go up and try out the clothes you will wear at the reception tomorrow.”

Chen Rui looked a little bit nervous. Seeing the envious eyes of several people around him, he slowly asked, “Am I the only newcomer who will join the reception?”

The assistant said. “No, it seems that Sister Yan will also take the newcomer in her hand.”

Chen Rui’s complexion suddenly sank. He was silent for a moment. Watching a few people around him, he slowly speaks, “Tomorrow night,  who wants to help me make Jiang Yu unable to attend?”

A few people looked at each other without saying a word. They were not stupid, they had no reason to do anything to Jiang Yu.

Chen Rui said again, “The variety show I am participating in can bring many people. There are also upcoming TV shows, I can also let them add more people.”

His variety show’s rating among young people was very high, and the people in it were very attractive. With that program, he had become the most well-known artist among the newcomers in the company. The TV drama he was about to shoot was also based on a very popular novel. The male lead was very popular and he played the role of second male lead in it. The ratings would not be low.

For these newcomers without background, the most important thing for them was exposure. What Chen Rui had said was what they couldn’t do with their agents at present. Several people glanced at each other again, and they made no secret of it.

Yan Shu went to Jiang Yu for the reception tomorrow night. She asked Jiang Yu to make a styling, and took a few more clothes to let him try. After choosing a set with satisfaction, she asked him, “Is Chen Rui making trouble for you? Don’t ignore them in the future.”

The other people were not a problem. Chen Rui was the problem. Relying on his father’s status as the general manager of the company, he wanted her to be his agent. She was most annoyed with these incompetent people, and those who only throw away their father’s money. She was naturally unwilling to be his agent. She signed Jiang Yu now, it must have made him upset, so he came to make trouble for Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu nodded and asked, “They said you signed a vase, did they meant me? I’m obviously a human. Why did they say I’m a vase?” Isn’t the vase a flower vase?

“…You don’t know the meaning of vase?” Yan Shu looked at him in shock.

Jiang Yu saw Yan Shu’s shocked eyes. Thinking of Lin Cheng’s explanation, he said seriously. “I have just come from the countryside and haven’t touched the TV and the Internet very much.”

…The countryside was really remote. Yan Shu looked at his clear eyes and long eyelashes. She thought for a while before saying.  “It means you look as good as a vase.”

 

Oh, he praised him. Jiang Yu pursed his lips. He was embarrassed.
