315 It’s Not Easy To Be A Trainee. Do You Want To Find A Part-time Job?
The Microcosm app quickly became famous in three months and became the netizens’ favorite phone software.
Long videos were no longer suitable for fragmentation of the gradually accelerating pace of life. Short and exquisite videos had become a growing pastime.
People recording their lives on their phones could be seen everywhere on the street. It became a new fashion to upload their lives to the Microcosm. This wind undoubtedly blew to Morris Corporation.
“Hmph, Internet celebrity? Not worth mentioning.”
The middle-aged man who had a conflict with Yang Tianzhen stood outside the practice room. Through the glass, he looked at the room full of trainees who were spraying youth sweat with the dance teacher.
They were all good seedlings who had survived the company’s layers of screening. There was no need to mention their good looks, superior figures, and proper manners.
In the Morris Corporation, there were a total of two levels of practice rooms. The first level was on the sixth floor, and the second level was on the second floor. There was naturally no need to mention the sixth floor. They were all debut reserves.
As for the people on the third floor, they were the same as Xiao Chun. The company did not expect them to be very powerful. They were just waiting for them to compensate the company for the breach of contract if they could not persist.
“Mr. Kou, so you’re here!” Assistant Elfen ran over. “It’s almost time for the meeting. The other supervisors are already waiting in the office.”
“I understand.”
The middle-aged man’s name was Kou Zhiyuan. He was also a famous actor when he was young. Later, he had to withdraw from his acting career because of an accident.
Later on, with his many years of experience in the entertainment industry, he changed his profession to become an agent.
He joined the Morris Corporation later than Yang Tianzhen, but this did not stop him from working with the higher-ups to squeeze Yang Tianzhen out and become the managerial trainee.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Kou Zhiyuan pushed open the office door. Everyone in the room immediately stood up and welcomed him with smiles.
The others only sat down again after Kou Zhiyuan sat down.
“I’m a little tight today. Not only do I have to bring Jia Le to the audition, but I also have three programs to discuss. Please tell me if you have any questions.” Kou Zhiyuan smiled and secretly flaunted his artists.
At the same time, he wanted to make it clear that they should not look for him for small matters.
“Supervisor Kou, the people who are more capable do more work. This is just a small problem. Let’s see if the others…”
The people around Kou Zhiyuan were busy sucking up to, curry favor, and ingratiate. They were the last to deal with the problem.
After being interrupted by him, the others also reflected on whether their questions were worth mentioning. They were conflicted and embarrassed to say anything.
“Supervisor Kou, should we consider opening a new direction for our artists?” A man sitting at the end said.
He had a baby face. His mature appearance and energetic outfit were slightly inconsistent, and he did not look serious with a straight face.
“Benson, what do you mean?” Kou Zhiyuan asked again as if he did not understand.
“I’m talking about whether to open up a new development path for our artists, such as adding online interaction time.” Benson flipped through the information in his hand.
This was the market trend that he had spent a month analyzing. It focused on analyzing the popularity of the Microcosm.
Just as he was about to hand over the information, Kou Zhiyuan suddenly stood up and said something to his assistant as he left the office. The others also began to pack their things, as if the meeting had ended.
“Supervisor Kou!” Benson chased after him with the documents. “I’m not done yet!”
“There’s no need, Benson. Your suggestion is meaningless.” Kou Zhiyuan continued walking without even looking.
“Supervisor Kou, please take a look at this first!” Benson hurriedly dug out the market research and hurriedly explained, “The Internet has become the mainstream media. Many people have already recognized the profession of an internet celebrity, and…”
“Internet celebrity?” Kou Zhiyuan stopped in his tracks and glanced at Benson disdainfully. He also snorted at the information. “How can an Internet celebrity compare to our company’s celebrities by selling ugly things?”
He snatched Benson’s information and glanced at it casually before crushing it into a ball and throwing it into the trash can. “Mr. Benson, you might not know where you are yet, so let me tell you again!”
“The land under your feet belongs to the Morris Corporation, one of the top five star-making factories in the country. The celebrities under your company all have explosive works. Those outside the C-list are not even considered. How can a clown like an internet celebrity be worthy of entering our company? Do you understand what I mean?”
“…Understood.” Benson gritted his teeth and nodded. “I just feel that I can give the trainees a chance to train…”
“The company will naturally arrange it for them.”
“There are a lot of trainees, many of them are idle, so…”
“Alright!” Kou Zhiyuan stopped Benson, who was pestering him. “The company will arrange everything. Just do your job!”
After saying that, Kou Zhiyuan felt that the warning was not enough.
Benson seemed to see Yang Tianzhen’s shadow in him. They both carried an annoying sense of self-righteousness.
Smack!
Kou Zhiyuan slapped Benson’s folder away as if he was venting his anger. He looked at the paper fluttering like snowflakes and said, “I see that you’re tired from the extra work. The paper on the ground is useless. Handle it as soon as possible.”
With that, Kou Zhiyuan walked away arrogantly on the path paved with documents.
Benson looked at the information on the ground and did not recover for a few minutes.
The papers printed with the soles of his shoes were reports that he had typed out word by word for weeks without sleep. In Kou Zhiyuan’s eyes, they were even worse than waste paper.
Benson’s eyes turned red. He suppressed his grievances and picked up one after another.
“Big Brother Benson?”
At this moment, a snow-white and slender hand appeared in his vision.
Benson looked up and saw a pair of swollen eye blisters. He did not find it strange and lowered her head to avoid being seen. He asked, “Hui Xin, why are you here? Your double eyelids have just been done. The doctor said that you have to give it time to recover.”
“I’m very careful.” The girl called Hui Xin raised her head slightly.
The swollen wound squeezed her vision, leaving only a crack for her, so she did not notice Benson’s state.
“Big Brother Benson, did you help me ask about my job?” Huixin asked carefully. “My father needs money when he’s hospitalized. My sister is about to pay her tuition fees. You know that I just had my double eyelids done and I really don’t have any savings…”
Hui Xin smiled bitterly as she spoke, too embarrassed to say anything else and lowered her head to help pick up the things.
“I… I haven’t asked. Supervisor Kou was too busy just now.” Benson sniffed and stood up as if nothing had happened. “I’ll have a job for you soon. Before that, your mission is to recuperate your eyes.”
“Really? Thank you so much!” Hui Xin held Benson’s hand excitedly. “You’re so good. I’ll treat you to a big meal when I earn money!”
Benson squeezed out a smile. “That’s good. Hurry back to the training room. Be careful not to let your wound get wet.”
“Okay!”
