Chapter 708 Human Society
Wu Mengting came to the company in a bad mood. Although she was young and beautiful, she was very dignified in the company. All the company personnel she met along the way nodded to her.
Wu Mengting has long been accustomed to this.
Not to mention that now she is writing and producing herself, helping the company to produce the popular drama "The Sapphire Case". In the past, she was only the financial director of the company, and no one in the company dared to look down on her.
Those who looked down on her at first were kicked out by her for various reasons.
When it comes to company management, she is no fool. She takes action when she needs to, is stern when she needs to be strict, and is gentle when she needs to be gentle.
Therefore, she is still very prestigious and intimidating in today's company, and no one will look down on her anymore.
However, she is not the most prestigious in the company. In the daily operation and management of the company, the most prestigious is General Manager Lu Sijia.
Lu Sijia's management skills are much better than Wu Mengting's. In particular, she has a lot of connections in the circle, external communication channels, negotiation and communication with people, public relations, etc. She is also better good.
In contrast, Wu Mengting is obviously weak in external affairs, mainly because she does not want to expand her connections in the entertainment and capital circles.
In addition, she has no guide in this area, so she is too lazy to conduct external business.
Of course, this was the situation before.
The situation is a little different now. After her self-written and self-produced "Sapphire Case" received huge ratings and became the most popular domestic TV series, she has begun to leave the industry and wants to continue It is obviously impossible to stay in the company and not be noticed by the outside world.
In the past few days, there have actually been many people who have contacted her through various relationships, either to build relationships or seek cooperation, and there have been many invitations to various dinners.
But Wu Mengting has been worried about her relationship and marriage with Chen Feng these past few days. She has no interest in these people and invitations at all, and rejected them all.
It was the same today. Not long after she came to work and sat down in the office, she received a call to invite her to a dinner party. The caller was a senior she met during her university club activities. She now works for a listed company and said she wanted to join the company. It was a social gathering for members of the university club, and I hoped that she would definitely attend.
Of course Wu Mengting refused without any hesitation. Although she still had some impression of this senior, she didn't have a deep impression, and the relationship was not that good. More importantly, she had pursued this guy before. She, Wu Mengting didn't want to go just because of this.
After persuading the seniors to no avail, they could only continue their friendship on the phone, saying how rich their company’s funds were, and it happened to be involved in investment in the cultural and entertainment industry. If Wu Mengting wanted to invest funds, If so, you can contact him.
After Wu Mengting said a few polite words to the other party, she made an excuse and hung up the phone.
Ever since her work status and identity as screenwriter and producer of "The Sapphire Case" were made public in the alumni group, these calls have been the most annoying to her.
But there is no way. This society is a personal relationship society. You cannot be completely isolated from other people. You must maintain certain social attributes and relationships.
After answering another call from a colleague who used to work at the magazine, she had to put her phone into silent mode and was too lazy to bother with it.
If it weren’t for the trouble of changing her mobile phone number, she would have wanted to.
However, if this situation gets worse, her mobile phone number will have to be changed sooner or later.
Ignore the several missed calls on the phone, calm down and start working.
It wasn't until almost ten o'clock in the morning that the landline phone on her desk rang. She picked it up and answered it. It was a call from the front desk, saying that her college alumnus Tang Jierui came to visit her and hoped to meet her. .
When Wu Mengting heard that it was Tang Jierui, a popular celebrity and her college junior, she agreed after a slight hesitation.
The reason is very simple. She really admires this college student. One aspect is that he is handsome, and the other aspect is that like her, he comes from a grassroots background and relied on his own ability to get into Tunghai University. This is a top university in the country.
In addition, I read news reports that he worked very hard during training, and he was also humble, low-key, respectful and polite.
So, it was okay for someone to come specifically to visit her, a senior student, and meet her.
Soon, Jerry Tang entered her office under the leadership of her assistant.
When Tang Jierui saw Wu Mengting, the senior student in person, his eyes suddenly lit up and his eyes shone.
To be honest, before he came here, he had no idea that the senior Wu Mengting was so beautiful. It could be said that she was the most beautiful person he had ever met.
What’s even more rare is that the other party is not only beautiful, but also talented and temperamental, and has a very good figure.
So, Tang Jierui hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Sister, I'm glad to see you."
And he seemed to want to come up and shake hands with Wu Mengting.
After Wu Mengting saw Tang Jierui in person, she was a little "astonished". Her junior was indeed very handsome. He was tall and had long legs, and his body looked very strong. He was not a skinny guy. A pair of eyes are big and lively, and they look very smart.
“Haha, you look more photogenic in person than in the photos, that’s right, sit down.”
When Wu Mengting saw the other party calling her senior, she showed her senior style and stretched out her hand toward He waved, and then gestured towards the sofa diagonally opposite the desk, motioning for him to sit down.
At the same time, of course, she refused to shake hands with him in disguise.
In social situations, Wu Mengting has always avoided shaking hands with the opposite sex, because many men covet her beauty. Shaking hands with these men is tantamount to being taken advantage of by them.
So, although Wu Mengting had a good impression of Tang Jierui, a junior, she had no intention of shaking hands with him out of habit.
Tang Jierui didn't wink at all. Seeing that she had no intention of shaking hands with him, he quickly withdrew her hand and casually went to sit on the sofa.
"What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?" Wu Mengting greeted politely.
"Tea, thank you." Tang Jerry responded with a smile.
Wu Mengting immediately asked her assistant to make tea for him.
After Wu Mengting sat down again, she looked at him with a slightly scrutinizing look, and then asked with a bit of curiosity: "Junior, how did you know that I am your senior?"
< br> Tang Jierui said with a very frank look: "My company told me. This time I took the liberty to visit you was also arranged by my company. Of course, I myself I am also very willing to visit you, senior. Thank you for being willing to see me despite your busy schedule."
Wu Mengting shook her head slightly and said: "Although my work is a bit busy, it is not too busy."
After saying this, she asked again: "Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"
Tang Jierui immediately smiled and patted the horse and said: "Sister, you are indeed knowledgeable. You use the four words 'what's the matter' well." "Okay, you can talk about something if you have something to say. I don't like to talk nonsense."
Wu Mengting’s character in the company is undoubtedly stronger, and she looks like a strong woman.
When Tang Jierui saw that Wu Mengting didn't want to flatter him, he immediately restrained his flattery and turned to a flattering expression and said, "Senior, you are really popular this time. You are not only " The screenwriter of "The Sapphire Case" is also the producer of this TV series. My classmates discuss this TV series every day. , the popularity is very high. Therefore, when the people in my contract company knew that I was in the same school as you, they immediately wanted me to visit you to see if I, a junior, could hug your senior sister’s lap. It would be best to be in the same school. I'll play a role in your next play."
Wu Mengting said it bluntly, and he was honest and answered frankly. This is his personality, sincere and frank.
In fact, Wu Mengting guessed his intention as soon as he came here this time, but it is of course best for him to say it himself now.
"How are your acting skills?" Wu Mengting acted like a female producer, fiddling with a pen on the table with her right hand and looking at him with scrutiny.
When Tang Jierui heard this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and said quickly: "Since signing with the company at the beginning of the year, I have been receiving professional training in various arts, including acting. The company arranged for me to Xi Gu teaches me that when I have free time, I will do it myself. Er pondered. So, I don’t say how good my acting skills are now, but I can still play some roles that are not difficult.”
“Okay, you can give me a part that you are good at now. "
Wu Mengting continued to pose as an examiner.
"Now? Here?" Tang Jerry hesitated.
Wu Mengting nodded, then frowned slightly and asked, "What? Isn't it possible here? Can't you let go?"
"No, no." Tang Jierui quickly denied it. In fact, he really couldn't let go. open. Although he has received professional teacher training for more than half a year, he still cannot completely let go of the need for actors to liberate their nature.
After all, he is not a professional actor and has not received any systematic professional training.
“Then come.” Wu Mengting urged.
Tang Jerry's mind was spinning rapidly, and he quickly thought of the most classic line in "Westward Journey".
He stood up from the sofa, coughed dryly, and immediately began to imitate Zhou Xingxing's performance.
"You should do this, and I should die too. There was once a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I only regretted it when I lost it..."
When his performance was over, Wu Mengting shook her head slightly in disappointment, and said bluntly: "This performance is easy to say, as long as the face is expressionless, but it is difficult to say that it is difficult, that is, to be expressionless." Under the surface of love, there must be a feeling of truth and falsehood. More importantly, if you shed tears just now, I would give you an eight out of ten, but you didn't shed tears, just a face. He was reciting his lines expressionlessly. I would give him a maximum of three points and fail.”
Wu Mengting only gave him three points out of ten, which obviously made him a little embarrassed. In fact, this was his highest level performance. .
After all, he is a young man, and he said unconvinced: "In the original version of the movie, Zhou Xingxing didn't really cry, right? He should have put eye drops."
Wu Mengting said unceremoniously: "But he It’s Zhou Xingxing, it’s you Tang Jierui.”
What else could Tang Jieri say, he could only lower his head helplessly and sit back on the sofa.
Fortunately, the assistant came in with tea at this time, which relieved the somewhat awkward and dull atmosphere at the scene.
After the assistant went out again, Tang Jierui lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, senior sister."
Wu Mengting smiled and said: "What are you apologizing to me for? Your acting skills are a bit poor, which is within my expectation. But, who makes you my junior? If you don't dislike it, I can I’ll give you a small role in my next drama, which will last about five or six episodes. Are you interested?”
Tang Jierui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately stood up with a smile on his face and thanked him continuously: "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior. I'm interested, very interested. Thank you, senior, for giving me this opportunity. I I will definitely try my best to play this role well and not let you down, senior sister.”
Wu Mengting smiled and waved her hands: “I’m not totally wrong. To help you, your personal image is very suitable for that role. As long as you don’t dislike it for being a small role.”
“How can I dislike it? This is your next drama, I don’t know. How many people are staring at me and asking for a role? I'm lucky, I happen to be in the same school as my senior sister, and you are willing to support me as a junior student. I will never forget this kindness.”
“Okay, don’t say any kind words.” Wu Mengting waved her hands again and said with a serious look, “But I will say something ugly first. If it comes to formality. During filming, if you can't play this role well, I may still replace you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Tang Jierui immediately promised: "Sister, don't worry, I will never let you down."
Wu Mengting nodded with satisfaction, and then talked to him about some lighter topics, mainly about the East China Sea University stuff.
The two chatted around Tunghai University for another ten minutes before Wu Mengting took the initiative to end the meeting.
Although Tang Jierui was full of confidence, he felt that the senior Wu Mengting had a good impression of him, otherwise he would not have given him a role in the next film as soon as they met.
However, Wu Mengting's appearance is too good, her temperament is also first-class, and her aura is even more powerful. She has the aura of a strong woman in her face. In terms of aura, she is more awe-inspiring than those in the company he signed. The boss was no less generous.
Therefore, Tang Jierui did not dare to make any mistakes in front of her. Not to mention deliberately flirting with the other party and saying ambiguous words, even his signature cool move - stroking his hair, he didn't even use it.
Fortunately, before parting, both of them added WeChat friends, so there will still be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Tang Jierui was suddenly full of interest and motivation to conquer the senior Wu Mengting, and he was also full of confidence.
A woman, even if she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, still needs a man.
As a first-class handsome man, he certainly has the strength and charm to conquer her.
Wu Mengting, on the other hand, felt a little disappointed after meeting Tang Jierui, a fellow student at the same school.
As a senior executive of an entertainment company and a well-known online writer and screenwriter, she still has a good eye for people.
Tang Jierui is handsome, and his personality seems to be very gentle, but she still sees some other things, such as lust. Even though he hides it well, she is still aware of it because of her sensitivity. .
However, who makes her beautiful? As a man, it is normal for Tang Jierui to have some thoughts about her.
But Wu Mengting still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
But because her first impression of him was very good, and because they were both alumni of Tunghai University and came from grassroots backgrounds, she still gave him a small role in the next film, which was a kind of support for him.
If his fame reaches a higher level in the future and he really becomes a big star, this can be regarded as a favor.
