Ji Li caught a glimpse of this all-too-familiar name, and raised his eyes involuntarily.

As the absolute hero in the original book, Ji Yunqi's appearance is naturally not to be pickled, with bright eyes, high nose, red lips and white teeth, so bright that it is hard to ignore his existence.

Ji Li's gaze was not low-key, Ji Yunqi had already noticed this, and his brows were slightly frowned.

When the elevator door closed, he calmly reached out to block it and asked, "Can I go in?"

The person in front of him had a delicate appearance, and he was accompanied by an assistant, which made it clear that he was a signed artist.

In the default system of the entertainment industry, these trainees are at the bottom.

Although Ji Yunqi never underestimates himself, it is inevitable that there will be senior artists who are unwilling to be in the same space with them, and he does not want to be rejected for nothing.

"Of course, which floor do you want to go to?" Ji Li's first impression of the hero was pretty good.

"The twelfth floor." Ji Yunqi replied.

As soon as he entered, he realized that the elevator button was already on, and he glanced at Ji Li again, "Are you also looking for Mr. Tao?"

"En." Baozi replied.

Ji Yunqi stood aside and said nothing more.

After a while, the elevator arrived at the designated floor, Ji Yunqi stood close to the door, and walked out quickly as soon as the door opened.

After Baozi waited for him to leave, he quietly approached Ji Li and said, "Brother Ji, this training looks really good, and its temperament is also very unique."

Su Yan can look good as such a trainee, but after putting on makeup, won't he be fascinated

Ji Li admitted softly, "It's quite special."

The book once described—

Because he is the favorite of the family, Ji Yunqi's character has a natural arrogance and dignity, but it makes people feel real and not artificial, and his whole body has a sense of aristocratic young master.

Such contradictory and attractive attributes are unique in the entire entertainment industry.

Now that he saw the real person for just a few moments, Ji Li really felt that was the case.

Baozi added, "Brother Ji, don't be jealous, you will always be number one in my heart."

Ji Li came back to his senses, and patted his shoulder dumbfoundingly, "Okay, let's go."

The two quickly found Tao Mingyang's office and found Yu Fuya waiting by the door.

"Sister Yu."

Yu Fuya made a quiet gesture of 'shh' to them, and pointed to the closed office door, "Now sit on the sofa for a while."

Ji Li nodded, and just as he sat down, he heard a voice of inquiry coming from inside.

"Yun Qi, I heard from the head of the artist department that you killed the male lead who refused to accept that idol drama? Why are you dissatisfied? Tell me about it?"

When Ji Li heard Ji Yunqi's name, he unconsciously focused his attention.

The next second, Ji Yunqi answered, "Mr. Tao, I have only been a trainee for two months, and my acting skills are not yet perfect. Now I am going to act in a TV series? I am afraid that I will be ashamed if I can't act well."

"True knowledge comes from practice. With your looks and abilities, acting in an idol drama is enough. The investment in that drama is good, and the screenwriter is from your sister's studio. The plot must pass the test..."

"If this condition was given to other trainees, they would have already competed for it? You don't want it?" Tao Mingyang said.

"Anyway, I don't want to act in idol dramas. The most I can do is to deceive girls who are purely interested in looks. A film professor said that this will only waste my acting skills."

Ji Yunqi bluntly pointed out that he didn't have the obedient consciousness to face the boss at all.

Although many young people in the circle like to rely on idol dramas to accumulate short-term popularity, Ji Yunqi doesn't think so—

If you have this skill, it is not easy to take a few more acting lessons. Even if the truth comes from practice, you should go to a good crew as a supporting role to hone your skills.

"Mr. Tao, with me, there is no such thing as one-step success. When I graduate from the company's training department, whether it's the male lead or the supporting role, I will follow the company's arrangement."

"I'm not from a major, and I haven't even finished the acting class I arranged, so why do I act?"

At the end of these words, there was a perverse sense of 'arrogant and unreasonable'.

It's really like what it says in the book—Ji Yunqi has his own persistence, and never listens to other people's random arrangements. Unless he wants to do it himself, no one can force it.

When Ji Li heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes.

For an undebuted rookie actor, such persistence is considered valuable.

"you… "

Tao Mingyang inside was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Yunqi, "President Tao, it's time for recess, I should go back to acting class."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open by him.

Ji Yunqi suddenly faced the three people on the sofa, and paused slightly.

"Are you finished chatting?" Yu Fuya got up first, and then signaled to her artists, "Ji Li, let's go in, Baozi sit here and wait for a while."

"Okay." Baozi responded lightly.

Ji Li stepped forward, and smiled politely at Ji Yunqi when he got close to him.

The latter didn't show much expression. He only asked Baozi after they entered the office, "That person's name was Ji Li just now?"

The handsome guy took the initiative to ask questions, and Baozi naturally replied with a smile, "Well, Brother Ji signed with Chaoying not long ago."

After confirming Ji Li's name, Ji Yunqi glanced sideways through the frosted glass of the office, and then left expressionlessly.

Seeing his 'not to be trifled with' expression, Baozi stood there and scratched his head inexplicably: Did I say something wrong just now

Ji Yunqi walked quickly back to the elevator room, Ji Li's appearance automatically appeared in his mind. He took a deep breath and took out his mobile phone, and viciously tapped a line of Moments with his fingertips—

Today I actually met a boy who is more handsome than me without makeup, damn it!

The accompanying picture is an emoji: a fleshy little fist clenched tightly.

The reply below came quickly.

Second Sister: Hahahaha, nonsense, my younger brother is 100% handsome without makeup!

Brother: You look the best.

Ji Yunqi saw his brother and sister's reply, and put away the phone contentedly.

He stared at himself in the reflective door of the elevator, raised his eyebrows, and confidently gave himself a thumbs up.

- I'm really good!

As soon as the elevator door opened, he quickly changed back to that cold face, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Under the leadership of Yu Fuya, Ji Li finally met the rumored boss of Chaoying—Tao Mingyang.

Although the other party was in his forties, but under the wrapping of a suitable suit, his figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist looked particularly good. His appearance can be regarded as unparalleled handsome, and his whole body has a kind of chic that transcends the world.

Come to think of it, when he was young, he was also a flirtatious and provocative master.

Ji Li didn't show anything on his face, and shouted politely, "Mr. Tao, I'm Ji Li."

"Well, I know." Tao Mingyang frowned, and turned his gaze to Yu Fuya again, "Finally willing to bring your precious artist to the company?"

"Tsk."

Yu Fuya glared at him, "Don't take one baby at a time, it sounds strange. If I had given birth to a son earlier, he would have been as old as Ji Li."

Ever since the sensational sister-brother relationship, Yu Fuya has been somewhat resistant to using words like 'baby' for her artists, and it doesn't sound good to her.

"I didn't mean that. It's good for you to be single, what kind of son will you have, and what kind of marriage will you marry?" Tao Mingyang said the last few words, and his eyes were a little bit uncomfortable.

The industry's evaluation of Yu Fuya is very high, and the affirmation of Tao Mingyang is also not low. One is leading the artist before, and the other is at the helm of the company after, they are perfect partners.

When Yu Fuya quit the circle to get married, it also affected Tao Mingyang.

Otherwise, no matter how many artists in the company terminated their contracts, they would not be in such an embarrassing situation today.

Yu Fuya frowned when she heard the word 'marriage'.

She took out the e-cigarette in her bag, and just took a sip when she heard Tao Mingyang stop, "Stop smoking, it's not good for your health."

Yu Fuya was impatient, and immediately refuted him, "I want you to take care of it?"

"..." Tao Mingyang, who was still leisurely and complacent, suddenly became timid, he opened the drawer and took out a box, "Then I have a good cigar here, would you like one?"

Ji Li saw the atmosphere between the two of them back and forth, and acted like a mute with subtle winks.

"Ji Li, sit down for a while, don't take your boss too seriously. With me here, he dare not do anything to you." Yu Fuya signaled.

"Sit down, sit down, between me and your sister Yu, she is the boss." Tao Mingyang responded.

There was a bit of deliberate apology in his tone, which didn't match his external image.

Seeing his rare dog-legged appearance, Yu Fuya sneered.

She exhaled a thin puff of smoke, and curiously asked what happened just now, "What's the name of that young man? He has quite a personality. Is he a new trainee recruited by the company?"

When Ji Li heard this, he also became curious.

The original book did not describe Ji Yunqi's life before his debut. Ji Li always thought that he made his debut directly by relying on his family background.

"You mean Ji Yunqi?" Tao Mingyang trimmed his cigar leisurely, "Have you all heard of the Ji Group in Haishi? Ji Yunqi is the third young master of their group, and above him is a pair of twin brothers and sisters."

"His elder brother is called Ji Yunzheng. He has been studying abroad. He is only in his early thirties and has already become the heir of the group. You should be familiar with the second sister, Ji Yueming."

"Screenwriter Ji Yueming?" Yu Fuya was a little surprised.

Ji Yueming's reputation in the screenwriting circle is not small. He has produced several popular dramas, and the screenwriting studio he manages is also full of talents.

Tao Mingyang nodded, "Ji Yunqi is a treasure in Ji's family. He has no intention of family business since he was a student. Somehow he became interested in the entertainment industry at the beginning of this year, so he has to come here."

"The Ji family and our Tao family are family friends, no, please ask me to help arrange to join the company."

Yu Fuya raised her eyebrows, "It's not a small background."

"At first, I thought this young master was just for fun, and it would be enough to make one or two movies to enjoy yourself, but you saw it too..."

Tao Mingyang lit his cigar, feeling helpless and surprised at the same time, "It seems that he really wants to work hard in this circle."

"To be honest, the company has not had any outstanding newcomers in the past two years. I have already planned to invest in the transformation behind the scenes. But now..."

Tao Mingyang looked at Ji Li, and said bluntly, "Ji Li is a good seedling you fancy, and Ji Yunqi's side, I don't think his strength will be much worse."

Perhaps, their Chaoying luck has returned.

"The two of them are about the same age. If it's really like what you said, they will inevitably become rivals in the future." Yu Fuya straightened up slightly, and turned on the 'Cub Protection' mode without hesitation.

"In terms of family background, we Ji Li can't compare with each other, but when it comes to acting skills, we really have no choice. At that time, you must not put all the company's internal resources on the other party..."

She said seriously, "Otherwise, I'll take Ji Li and set up my own business."

Ji Li's heart warmed a little, and he stopped it funny and helpless, "Sister Yu, you haven't written a word, don't worry too much about me."

Tao Mingyang chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't want to intervene in the artist world's resource announcement, let alone favor one person."

The entertainment industry is a complicated game of chess, and what it can achieve depends on how capable the artist is.

The phone rang.

Tao Mingyang listened to a few words after connecting, then hung up and said to Yu Fuya, "The directors of several departments such as the Propaganda Department are already in the conference room, you should bring Ji Li to meet them."

Yu Fuya nodded.

Ji Li stood up at the same time, and he bowed to Tao Mingyang, "Thank you Mr. Tao."

"You're welcome, you are a signed artist of our Super Movie, and we are obliged to be responsible for your stardom."

Tao Mingyang got up calmly, approached Yu Fuya and gave her a friendly hug, "Fu Ya, I am very happy that you can return to the company."

Yu Fuya pushed him away calmly, and replied lightly, "You think I am willing? I am defeated in front of love, so I can only come back to start a career."

After speaking, he stroked his hair and walked out.

Ji Li caught the flash of loneliness in Tao Mingyang's eyes, and walked out without making a sound.

In the elevator, Ji Li looked at Yu Fuya's back and hesitated to speak.

Yu Fuya was keenly aware of his gaze, and asked sideways, "What are you looking at me for? You almost poked a hole in the back of my head."

Ji Li thought about it, and finally decided not to pry into other people's privacy, "It's nothing."

Although, he always felt that there must be something between Tao Mingyang and Yu Fuya.

"Are you curious about my relationship with Lao Tao?"

Yu Fuya had insight into his true thoughts, and nonchalantly brought up the past, "He was my first love. We dated for three years, and then we broke up amicably because of personality differences. Not many people know about it."

But it doesn't matter now, she has already seen through the crap about love.

Ji Li and Baozi looked at each other in blank dismay, and the latter looked like he had eaten a big melon—

Didn't the gossip tabloids say that Tao Mingyang was not a famous young man in love when he was young? He was sister Yu's first love

The most incredible thing is that Mr. Tao actually talked with Sister Yu for three years before breaking up? After the two broke up, they could still work together for so long

Sister Yu! Awesome, our sister Yu!

The elevator door just opened.

Yu Fuya caught a glimpse of Baozi's gossip-filled eyes, and knocked on his forehead suddenly, "Take your gossip soul away, it's time to get down to business."

#hateful! We are indeed so beautiful! Sister Yu is indeed too awesome!
