After leaving Tianfan Building, Wu Pengpeng was still a bit angry.
It seemed that signing Ye Minmin back then was too hasty. This woman had looks but no brains. If not handled properly, she might ruin Pengpeng's big plans.
Wu Pengpeng pondered for a moment, then turned to instruct Shen Qianqian, "Come here again tomorrow. Tell Ye Minmin that I'll set up a studio for her and assign a professional team to her as if she were a top - tier celebrity."
Shen Qianqian was a bit puzzled. "But isn't she leaving?"
"She won't leave." Wu Pengpeng rubbed her temples and continued the unfinished instructions. "However, she has to sign a contract with me. In the next two years, I'll invite professional teachers for her. She must study hard and polish her acting skills. She should stop trying to gain popularity just by showing her face. After two years, she can decide whether to stay or leave as she wishes."
Shen Qianqian started the car and drove in the direction of "Youqian Film and Television". "We're assigning a professional team to her, but not letting her take on announcements. Why?"
Of course, it was to spend money!
Wu Pengpeng glanced at her through the rear - view mirror and said mysteriously, "Because I want to cultivate her well. Just imagine, if a beautiful actress with explosive acting skills and excellent singing and dancing abilities suddenly appears, won't she shake up the entire entertainment industry? How many fans can she attract then?"
So Sister Peng was planning to play the long game! It seemed that she had a short - sighted view.
Shen Qianqian thought carefully and found something wrong. "Since you've spent so much money cultivating her, why give her the right to decide whether to stay or leave on her own? Shouldn't you sign a contract that requires a huge compensation for breach of contract?"
Of course, it was to let her go!
Based on her understanding of Ye Minmin, today's humiliation would be enough for Ye Minmin to hold a grudge until two years later. By then, when the contract expired and Ye Minmin was fully fledged, she would naturally leave her.
And she would have spent the money without having to bear the risk of a top - tier artist creating economic value. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Because that would only increase her rebellious mentality." Wu Pengpeng casually deceived her little assistant. "This way, she'll think she's accumulating experience for herself and will surely work harder."
Shen Qianqian wasn't easy to deceive. "But what if she leaves after learning?"
Wu Pengpeng casually perfunctorily replied, "Then I'll spend money to sign her back and sign a harsh and unequal contract with her so that she can earn more money for me."
After saying that, ignoring Shen Qianqian's hesitant expression, she shrank into her seat. "I'm sleepy. I'll take a nap first."
Actually, Wu Pengpeng didn't fall asleep. For some reason, although she had spent a lot of money recently, the green color on the energy meter didn't deepen. It remained the same light green.
It seemed that she urgently needed to spend a large sum of money!
"Sister Peng, we're here."
Wu Pengpeng pretended to wake up groggily, rubbed her eyes and got out of the car.
When they arrived at the company, the company had been completely renovated.
Posters of He Qianshan were plastered all over the corridor. Actually, most of them were stills from his previous dramas.
Even if his face was just casually placed there, it would make people's hearts race, not to mention when he was "gazing" at them affectionately.
Wu Pengpeng actually felt shy walking through the hundreds - meter corridor.
She shyly shifted her gaze. Turning her head, she saw Shen Qianqian staring blankly at the photos with undisguised admiration in her eyes.
Wu Pengpeng's heart skipped a beat. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Qianqian, do you like the God of Appearance?"
Shen Qianqian probably didn't expect her to ask so directly and was stunned.
Seeing her shy expression, Wu Pengpeng secretly groaned in her heart. Why did it seem like a狗血 drama of sisters turning against each other was about to unfold?
"Hey, Qianqian. If you really like a little fresh meat, tell me. I'll spend any amount of money to help you chase him. But don't like the God of Appearance."
"What?"
Wu Pengpeng gritted her teeth and said boldly, "Because I like He Qianshan."
Seeing Shen Qianqian looking confused, she quickly apologized, "Sorry. I'm a selfish person. I can't do the thing of giving up my love for my sister."
It took Shen Qianqian a while to digest the meaning of her words.
"Sister Peng, you seem to have misunderstood. My admiration for Teacher He is just an appreciation of beautiful things, just like seeing a beautiful flower on the roadside and can't help but take a few more glances."
Wu Pengpeng was a bit confused. "You don't really like him in a romantic way?"
Shen Qianqian shook her head without hesitation. "Of course not. It's just that he's so good - looking that I always feel a bit shy when I see him!"
Hearing this, Wu Pengpeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm relieved."
"Relieved about what?" Just as she finished speaking, a magnetic voice came from behind.
Could he have heard what they just said?
Wu Pengpeng turned her head stiffly and pretended to be surprised. "God of Appearance, why are you here?"
Shen Qianqian looked at the two of them with a gossiping expression and then said sensibly, "Sister Peng, I'll go to work first."
He Qianshan didn't hear what they said just now. But judging from Shen Qianqian's expression, it was probably something related to him.
Since Wu Pengpeng didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask.
The two walked towards Wu Pengpeng's office. Only then did He Qianshan answer her question. "I'm here to tell you that I'm willing to participate in that variety show."
"Why?" Wu Pengpeng turned to look at him. "Don't tell me you really want to turn the fake relationship with Ye Minmin into a real one?"
He Qianshan gave her a speechless look and gentlemanly opened the door for her to enter first. "Didn't you say you wanted to make money?"
Although the "Youwang" project was saved, this kind of project took time to show results. He guessed she couldn't wait.
"I asked someone just now. That director seems quite capable. I'll just show my face. Maybe I'll become..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wu Pengpeng interrupted him. "No!"
If He Qianshan really became popular, with a sky - high salary of hundreds of millions per drama, who could she complain to?
Seeing her strong reaction, He Qianshan was stunned. A vague thought flashed through his mind and he almost blurted out, "Are you jealous?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Wu Pengpeng decided to play along. "Yes, I'm jealous. Once you're paired with Ye Minmin, you'll never be able to break free. Your name will be associated with 'Ye Minmin' for the rest of your life. I don't like that."
What she said was a bit unreasonable, but He Qianshan was overjoyed. Trying to hold back his laughter, he said, "But it's inevitable for actors to encounter such things. Many audiences project their feelings for the characters in the drama onto the actors."
Wu Pengpeng said righteously, "Then I won't assign you any idol dramas in the future. You can shoot serious dramas without love lines."
He Qianshan really liked seeing her jealous, but he was also afraid of really angering her, so he decided to stop while he was ahead. "Okay."
Wu Pengpeng was a bit dazed by his smile. Just as she was about to shift her gaze, a WeChat notification sounded.
She quickly took out her phone to take the opportunity to relieve the awkwardness.
It was Zhao Bufan who had sent the project plan for the geography magazine, with a message attached below.
Zhao Bufan: "This project is large - scale. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time to investigate and make a careful decision."
Wu Pengpeng casually replied with an "Okay". She seemed to see countless hands rummaging through her wallet and couldn't help but smile.
Hearing her laughter, He Qianshan leaned over. "What's going on?"
Wu Pengpeng waved her phone at him with a beaming smile. Her joy was evident. "The chance to make a fortune is here!"
