Jiang Zhi had originally wanted Lu Mian to come over and hold the fort, but she did not expect it to cause such a huge commotion. She sighed inwardly. This man was really a monster.
At that moment, the students from other parts of the school received the news and rushed over. The moment the girls saw Lu Mian, they screamed and the camera shutter sounds were incessant.
They all took out their phones and took pictures of Lu Mian’s face, asking all kinds of questions excitedly.
“Brother Lu Mian, why are you here?”
“Are you here for an event?”
Lu Mian smiled charmingly. “Yes, I’m here to support the production of ‘The Afterlife’ this time. May I ask if anyone hasn’t signed up for the auditions?”
He asked this question on purpose, causing the girls to rush to answer.
“Yes, yes!”
“I’m here to participate in the casting!”
Lu Mian was still smiling reservedly, like a gentle big brother next door.
“Thank you, ladies. To thank you for your support, I will provide autographs and group photos for the top 10 candidates!”
“Wow, I want it, I want it!”
“Don’t rush it, I got there first!”
Immediately, the scene became chaotic. Many people crowded over to Jiang Zhi’s side to fight for the audition, almost forcing the staff to the ground.
Director Zheng was pleasantly surprised to see more and more people coming over to ask for the audition form. He said excitedly to Jiang Zhi, “Director Jiang, you are really a genius!”
Jiang Zhi smiled. “I learned this from Director Yan.”
Yan Zhang got up from the ground with great difficulty. He was furious to see that the people he had spent so much effort recruiting were all fighting to audition for Jiang Zhi’s show, and there was no one left on his side.
He ran back to the car, turned on the loudspeaker, and shouted loudly.
[Everyone, don’t be deceived by Star Glory. They are just a small, newly-established company. They are only recruiting people to match their favored children, Lu Mian, Jiang Xue, and Wu Dai.]
“Even if Star Glory has the resources, they will not spare you any attention. On the contrary, our Swallowtail is a veteran in this field. Our company has a lot of resources, and we pay great attention to the cultivation of talents. If you come to our side, you will most definitely not find us short-changing you.”
After he said that, some of the people present started to hesitate again.
Jiang Zhi was not anxious when she saw this scene. She continued to laugh and said loudly, “President Yan, you can’t feed people too many fantasies!”
When Yan Zhang heard this, he immediately jumped up. “Jiang Zhi, don’t think of slandering our company. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for slander!”
Jiang Zhi’s expression remained indifferent.
“President Yan, don’t be anxious. Swallowtail is indeed a veteran, but unfortunately, it’s developing Alzheimer’s in its old age.
“You said that your company recently invested more than a billion dollars in that movie, but the box office sales did not exceed 100 million in the end?
“Oh, that’s right. I heard that an artist from your company was caught for taking drugs and was fined another 100 million. Now, the company’s funding chain is probably going to break!
“I wonder if CEO Yan dares to transparently reveal the financial situation of your company? I guess it’s all in the red, right?”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Yan Zhang looked at the dark crowd around him guiltily and gritted his teeth. “Everyone, don’t listen to her. As long as you come to Swallowtail, I’ll give you a salary regardless of whether you have a job or not!
“One million in the first year, double in the second year. The higher the number of years, the higher the salary!
“As long as you come, we, Swallowtail, will support you!
“But there’s one thing. You are absolutely not allowed to have any cooperation with Star Glory!”
This time, even Jiang Zhi was stunned. This Yan Zhang was fighting to the death with them. Even if they remained jobless, he could still give them money for free.
“What about CEO Jiang?” Director Zheng was afraid that Yan Zhang would run away again.
Jiang Zhi could only shake her head. “Our Star Glory can’t offer such conditions. The company does not exist to raise useless people.”
Yan Zhang could not help but laugh out loud when he heard that.
“Did you hear that? This is the difference between a big-name enterprise and a small company. What kind of future can a stingy company like yours have?!
“Everyone, come to Swallowtail. We have plenty of money!”
Jiang Zhi calmly poured cold water on Yan Zhang. “President Yan, don’t pretend to be fat. Don’t let your father find out that you lost his money again. He is so going to whoop your ass!”
When Yan Zhang felt his wound opening up, he was so angry that his face turned red. “Stop talking nonsense!”
The people on both sides were fighting over the role, and the people below were stunned. At that moment, a girl suddenly asked,
“Brother Lu Mian, you came here today to support the cast of ‘The Afterlife’. Does that mean that if I join the cast, I can see you often? I’m your fan, I want to see you every day!”
The girls below the stage immediately became excited.
“Yes, as long as I can see Lu Mian often, I’ll join the cast!”
