Chapter 250 A Sincere Heart
When the meeting room door was pushed open, Yu Xinglan was looking at the company brochure handed to her by the HR director.
The gold foil on the page reflected his lowered eyebrows and eyes, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, making his profile appear even more cold and white as jade.
The next moment, the sound of chairs being moved rose and fell around him, and he subconsciously stood up with the others, looking up at the door.
Today was the first time Yu Xinglan had seen Bai Li's appearance.
The morning light flowed along Bai Li's hair, casting a soft glow on the edges of her light gray suit.
His first impression of Bai Li was that she was very young.
The people sitting in the conference room were all key members of Day and Night Entertainment, all of whom were "veterans" who had been in the industry for decades.
Therefore, the average age in the meeting room is relatively high.
Yu Xinglan thought that the person they respectfully addressed as "General Manager Bai" was also someone of the same age.
But Bai Li's youth surprised him.
It was a standard business suit, but she wore it with a touch of student-like innocence.
But this girl, who looks even younger than herself, is indeed, in fact, CEO Bai, who controls the entire Day and Night Entertainment.
Once she realized what was happening, Yu Xinglan's expression became even more serious.
He did not show the slightest contempt because of the other person's age.
Bai Li must have real skills to run such a large company and thrive in the industry.
Her youth only further demonstrates her extraordinary nature.
Yu Xinglan glanced at it once, then lowered her gaze and subconsciously looked down.
It is impolite to stare directly at a woman for an extended period of time.
This is also one of his old occupational habits.
Because he looks so affectionate, he looks at dogs with such tenderness.
Some fans and paparazzi will specifically capture the moment he looks at others.
Therefore, many photos that could easily lead to misunderstandings have appeared before.
Later, he developed the habit of not looking directly at others.
Yu Xinglan doesn't know Bai Li, but Brother Shen does.
The moment Bai Li entered, Brother Shen clenched his fists, his heart pounding with excitement.
He not only watched Bai Li's popular interview video online, but also did a thorough review of information about Bai Li before coming here today.
Although they were all found online, I don't know if they're real or fake.
For example, Bai Li is actually the daughter of a certain group, which is why she was able to rise rapidly thanks to her strong cash flow.
Some people say that her birth chart indicates a "Ziwei destiny," meaning she is born with a prosperous and successful life, which is why every project she invests in becomes a huge success.
Although some of the things said online are outrageous and there's probably some truth to them, Brother Shen thinks there's some truth to them.
The "great achievements" that Bai Li once made cannot be faked.
When it comes to live streaming, go straight for the top.
The songs he released became hits all over the world.
He made a movie and successfully captured Apollo, setting a record in the history of Chinese cinema.
Even the heroines in Tomato Novels wouldn't dare to write like this, right?
If she's not the "soulmate," then who is?
Meeting him in person today has intensified Brother Shen's feelings.
The moment Bai Li entered, she exuded a "big boss" aura that he couldn't quite understand. It wasn't the kind of decisive and efficient demeanor commonly seen in the workplace, but rather an almost effortless composure.
In short, she possesses an incredibly convincing aura; the moment she walks in, she becomes the center of attention.
He possessed a mysterious magnetic field that drew everyone's attention.
Seeing everyone gathered in the conference room, Bai Li smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."
The atmosphere in the meeting room changed the moment she entered.
Everyone seemed to have found their pillar of support, and they all showed loving smiles, their facial features softening. Hearing Bai Li say this, they all said:
"Hello, Mr. Bai."
"No, you've come at the perfect time."
The HR manager pulled out the seat next to him for Bai Li: "President Bai, please sit here."
Most of the employees in the company are older than Bai Li, and they all respect and like this young boss.
Their relationship with Bai Li had long since transcended the typical superior-subordinate dynamic; everyone was happy to take care of her in her daily life.
The attitude of employees towards their superiors is a good indicator of the company's environment and atmosphere.
At least in Brother Shen's opinion, he was quite knowledgeable and had never seen a company with such a harmonious atmosphere.
Before Bai Li even sat down, she noticed a particularly conspicuous figure in the conference room.
After sitting down, her gaze fell on Yu Xinglan again.
Bai Li had seen many photos and videos of him before, and was already somewhat prepared for his appearance, but now that he was sitting in front of her in person, the sense of amazement was even stronger.
—No wonder he's a man with a 97 out of 100 in looks.
Bai Li has seen very few people whose looks score is higher than 95.
Two of them are not normal people. Although they are very good-looking, one likes to cover up his true face, and the other exudes a powerful aura that greatly reduces the attractiveness that good looks can bring.
Zhang Yu is the only normal person, and he is already stunning enough for Bai Li. Yu Xinglan's appearance score is even higher than Zhang Yu's.
But actually, the two are not comparable.
They are not the same style of track.
Moreover, once you reach 95 points or higher, the difference of one or two points is no longer significant; after all, they are all exceptionally beautiful.
Perhaps Bai Li's gaze was too intense, because Yu Xinglan slightly raised his eyelids, and the next moment, he met a pair of curved eyebrows and eyes, and he was stunned for a moment.
As the two locked eyes, Bai Li also felt a strong sense of palpitations.
This feeling was so fleeting that it vanished before she could even fully savor it.
Although she was filled with doubts, the current situation did not allow her to think about it in detail.
Bai Li's expression didn't change much. When their eyes met, she asked, "This must be Teacher Yu, right?"
Yu Xinglan was slightly embarrassed, lowered her eyes, and said politely, "Hello, President Bai, I am Yu Xinglan, you don't need to call me teacher."
A very plain description.
But it suits Yu Xinglan's temperament very well.
Bai Li narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze lingering on his reddened ear tips for a moment, a faint smile curving her lips.
She had roughly figured out Yu Xinglan's personality.
The aloofness is just a protective facade; in reality, she's quite shy.
“This is—” Bai Li turned her gaze to the unfamiliar person next to Yu Xinglan.
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Bai, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Yu Xinglan's agent, Shen Ping." Brother Shen quickly took over Bai Li's words and introduced himself enthusiastically.
His face was beaming with a warm smile, and even the wrinkles around his eyes seemed to come alive: "Xingxing... uh, no, Teacher Yu is more concerned about some issues in the contract, so he wanted to come and discuss them in person today. I accompanied him here today. I didn't expect your company to value us so much. Thank you very much."
Compared to Yu Xinglan's coldness, his agent is the other extreme, not only very talkative but also very knowledgeable.
After saying that, he didn't forget to mention Yu Xinglan: "Teacher Yu was also very touched, but he was a bit shy and embarrassed to say it."
After Brother Shen finished speaking, Yu Xinglan visibly began to fidget, her ear tips turned completely red, and even her neck flushed crimson.
Although Yu Xinglan had worked with Brother Shen for many years, she still couldn't get used to his sense of propriety at times.
Bai Li couldn't help but chuckle, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Brother Shen's statement.
Being a celebrity in the entertainment industry isn't just about having good skills; there are also many interpersonal skills involved.
An artist with a personality like Yu Xinglan is best suited to have a relatively outgoing manager as an assistant.
If it were just Yu Xinglan coming alone today, given her personality, the atmosphere would never have been so lively.
With Brother Shen around, communication becomes much smoother.
Their company also assigns corresponding agents based on the artist's personality.
For example, someone with a boisterous personality like Chu Xianxian would be assigned a "headmaster-type" manager by the company. Only a manager who can "tame a bull" can keep Chu Xianxian in check.
Shen Ge and Yu Xinglan have very complementary personalities, which explains why they have been able to work together for so long; there's a reason for it.
Therefore, Bai Li felt it was perfectly reasonable to sign Yu Xinglan and continue having Brother Shen as his manager.
Only through proper collaboration can artists maximize their value.
The beautiful woman, who had just maintained her aloof demeanor, now appeared even more lively with her embarrassed expression.
Bai Li's smile deepened: "Brother Shen, you're too kind. Of course, the details of the contract need to be clarified. Let us explain it to you first. You can interrupt and ask questions at any time during the explanation."
At Bai Li's prompting, the HR director nodded and began her explanation, as this was her area of expertise.
Compared to a written contract, verbal explanations are easier for the other party to understand.
As the HR director was explaining, Bai Li rested her chin on her hand and began to ponder the reason for her recent fluttering heart.
She didn't think that her heart palpitations were due to falling in love at first sight or being attracted to Yu Xinglan's looks.
While I was indeed amazed by his face, I was still far from being attracted to him.
She does love beauty, but not to the point of being obsessed with it instantly.
Moreover, Yu Xinglan is a new artist he's about to sign; to fall for her at first sight would be too much of a beast.
It was only a fleeting moment, but the inexplicable palpitation was beyond the comprehension of common sense.
Bai Li immediately had a guess in her mind. She quietly called out to Xiao Hao and asked directly, "Is Yu Xinglan the destined one?"
"Bingo!" Xiao Hao's voice was crystal clear in my mind.
really.
Bai Li thought to herself.
Last time, I drew the UR-grade item [Chain of Fate] from the Wheel of Fortune.
This item allows Bai Li to bind to her destined person, increasing the chances of them meeting.
So that's where it came in.
By chance, Yu Xinglan became a mentor on the show, which also gave them the opportunity to meet.
Otherwise, given Bai Li's status, the chances of her meeting Yu Xinglan would be extremely slim.
Bai Li glanced at Yu Xinglan casually.
The destined one...?
According to Xiaohao, the destined person is someone with whom you are very likely to have a positive impression score of 50 or higher, that is, someone who is attracted to you.
But how come she didn't notice?
Before the contract was fully explained, Bai Li asked again, "Xiao Hao, how much favorability do you have with Yu Xinglan?"
Xiao Hao: "Currently it's 0."
Bai Li raised an eyebrow.
Good grief, is Yu Xinglan indifferent to me?
They weren't even casual acquaintances.
What kind of destined person is this?
For the first time, Bai Li began to doubt the props given to her by Wanxiang Lun.
While Bai Li was still pondering, Yu Xinglan asked her first question: "Article 37, the clause regarding the ownership of music copyright, I would like to confirm again, does the artist own the copyright to original works?"
Yu Xinglan spoke earnestly, delivering her longest speech since entering the meeting room.
It seems this is really important to him.
The HR director gave a firm affirmation: "This is a consistent tradition of our company."
