The boy stopped in his tracks. Seeing an opportunity, the manager quickly added, "Look, as I just said, if you join his company, you'll be blacklisted by Yingbu Entertainment, and your future won't be easy. Why not come to Yingbu Entertainment instead?"

"Your parents send you to school so you can study more, don't block them as soon as you break down." Xu Yi said directly, seeing that the manager still wanted to steal him away.

[Negative emotions +100]

People around him were also trying to persuade the boy.

"Young man, don't do anything rash. That's Yingbu Entertainment, a place so many people dream of getting into."

"Exactly, exactly. What kind of future can you have working for the Boss of a small company?"

"The world is truly full of wonders; even cattle and horses are trying to mock humans," Xu Yi continued his tirade.

First Blood!

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

"You guys should eat less salt; you all seem to have a lot of free time."

Double kill!

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

"Also, I'm not some straw boat, so don't throw your dirty jokes at me, understand?"

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

Triple kill!

Everyone was rendered speechless and dared not utter a word, fearing they would be bombarded beyond recognition.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Xu Yi said to the boy, "Let's go, let's find a quiet place to continue our conversation."

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a girl's voice rang out.

Xu Yi thought this was another person looking for a scolding, and was about to speak when he saw a resume handed to him.

"Hello! I'd also like to join your company. For a new company, one agent might not be enough. I'm open to being an agent myself. Is that okay with you?"

Xu Yi glanced at the girls, nodded, and said, "Alright, come with me, I'll take you to the company first."

The manager watched the group leave, his face pale. He hadn't gotten any benefits, and the guy had even recruited people for him.

After returning to the company.

Xu Yi briefly explained the company's situation to them, and then asked them to introduce themselves.

"Please tell me your names first."

The boy said, "My name is Bai Li."

The girl also said, "My Wu Qian."

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, currently, the company only has two artists. One is Ai Xiaoxing, who is participating in the 'Voice of the New Star' program. She doesn't need a manager yet. The other is an Actor I just recruited today, named Xu Yu. Wu Qian, you can be her manager for now, okay?"

Wu Qian nodded and said, "Okay, President Xu."

"Oh, by the way, Xu Yu has an audition for the female lead tomorrow afternoon. You can go with her. Here, take this key. Xu Yu's in the building across the street. Xu Yu lives next door to you," Xu Yi said, handing the key to Wu Qian.

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

Wu Qian stared at the keys, completely stunned. What was going on? The company was actually providing accommodation! And that building across the street was a residential area for wealthy young people!

"Alright, go ahead. I'll explain to Xu Yu that you're her manager, and I'll send you the work-related information via WeChat later," Xu Yi said, waving his hand.

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

Upon hearing the increase in his Emotion Points, Xu Yi was still wondering why it had suddenly increased so much when he saw Wu Qian come to her senses, take the keys, stand up, bow deeply to Xu Yi, and say, "Thank you, President Xu!" After saying that, she quickly left.

Xu Yi was completely bewildered by this turn of events, and looked at Bai Li, saying, "This... young man, you're really energetic."

Xu Yi noticed Bai Li looking at him with intense eyes, so he quickly pulled his coat tighter and said, "I'm not that high school, brother."

Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room were amused to see Xu Yi wrapped up tightly in his clothes.

[This is hilarious! Our Yi-ge is not only straight, but also a nephew.]

[Not high school level, thank you.]

[Yi Ge hugged himself, trembling.]

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

"No, brother, President Xu, what should I do? I'll do it! I have plenty of strength and skills!" Bai Li smiled and scratched his head. At the time, he just thought Xu Yi was very humorous and that he wouldn't be so rigid at work. He never expected that he would even be allocated housing!

[Negative emotions +100]

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, slowly loosened his clothes, and said, "Currently, you don't have any artists to manage, but the company doesn't have any male artists yet. Why don't you come with me to find some male artists? Oh, and here's your key."

[Negative emotions +100]

Bai Li took the keys, nodded repeatedly, and said, "President Xu, you're practically my godfather! Let's go, let's go find the male celebrity now!"

Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room expressed their understanding and envy of Bai Li's behavior.

[My Boss, please learn from our Brother Yi! If you were like that, I'd be happy to work like a slave every day.]

[Are you all comfortable here? Let me stay here!]

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

Xu Yi and Bai Li walked together on their way to an audition for a male celebrity. They chatted as they walked, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

As they passed a rehearsal room, they heard a loud argument coming from inside.

Bai Li curiously pushed open the door and found six young people standing inside, all with solemn expressions and a tense atmosphere.

One of the boys, who looked like the team leader, was speaking loudly:

"What are you guys doing! You can't learn this or that! Why did I even team up with you in the first place! If this keeps up, we'll have to disband!"

Another boy, head bowed, his voice trembling slightly, said, "But... we've been trying our best too. We're sorry, we didn't mean to hold anyone back..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Xu Yi, "Boss, this is great, finding a whole tour group right away!"

Xu Yi nodded in agreement. Bai Li stepped forward and said with a smile, "Excuse me, everyone. I overheard your conversation just now. It seems you've encountered some difficulties. Would you be interested in discussing it?"

The five of them turned around in unison. The captain looked Bai Li and Xu Yi up and down, his brows furrowing slightly. "Who are you?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "I'm Bai Li, an agent from Yi Xing Entertainment. This is our company's Boss, Xu Yi. Although our company is relatively new, we're currently looking for promising artists. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining us?"

The captain took the business card, glanced at it, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, "Yi Xing Entertainment? Never heard of it. What resources does your company have? What support can you give us? Don't tell us you're just a newly established small company without even a decent project."
