For a time, netizens once again began heated discussions about the two presidents, Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu.

Meanwhile, the follower counts of Jinbai Entertainment's official Weibo account and Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu's personal Weibo accounts skyrocketed.

Some industry insiders could not help but sigh when they saw this. An entertainment company actually had so many fans. This really was a world that valued looks.

But it had to be said that Jinbai Entertainment was undoubtedly the biggest winner this time. Its methods were brilliant. Not only had it completely cleared Xu Yuqing's name, but it had also heavily promoted the name "Jinbai Entertainment." It was not quite known by everyone, but at the very least, everyone in the industry now knew of it, and they also knew that the company clearly treated its artists very well.

Especially the company's two presidents. They were handsome, wealthy, and came from powerful backgrounds. With bosses like that, work was surely enjoyable.

"Jinbai Entertainment" had become completely famous.

The benefits that followed were naturally not few.

Some netizens went to the Weibo account of People Can't Live Without Conscience to ask: [May I ask if you have any connection with Jinbai Entertainment?] [Did Jinbai Entertainment give you the video?] [Why did you stand up for Xu Yuqing?] [Was it President Cai's instruction?]

However, how could those questions possibly receive an answer?

After the matter ended, the blogger People Can't Live Without Conscience never logged in again.

"Let's consider this settled for now," Cai Jinbai said.

Xuan Yu asked, "What about Chen Chengrong?"

"His matter is actually easy to handle. After all, there was a reason for it. The main reason the movie was not filmed well was not Chen Chengrong, but that producer. We just need to find some so-called 'industry insiders' to clear things up. However, Chen Chengrong is a director, so ultimately it will depend on how his next film turns out."

Directors did not need excessive exposure, and Chen Chengrong's family did not need too much disturbance either.

Cai Jinbai said, "The suffering a person endures is something others cannot truly empathize with. Although Chen Chengrong had understandable reasons, he did participate in filming the movie as its director. He bears a responsibility he cannot shirk."

"The best approach now is to take this opportunity to make netizens curious about Director Chen's next movie. Whether their opinions are good or bad, as long as it makes them want to go to the theater and judge the new movie for themselves, then this marketing will be considered a success."

"So, Jinbao, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, Master!" The golden ingot immediately darted in front of him.

"There's one more thing." Cai Jinbai lowered his head and flipped through the tablet. "Send a message to this photography team. I want to meet them."

Chapter 20

"Hello, President Cai."

"Hello, President Cai!"

"President Cai..."

Jinbai Entertainment had begun to get on track, and there were visibly more employees in the company. A large portion of them had been personally "interviewed" by Cai Jinbai—he simply took one look, observed their Wealth Aura, and selected people beneficial to the company's development. He did not care about age or gender, only whether they were suitable.

There were even people over forty, as well as people who had lost their jobs after taking time off to recover from illness...

Taking advantage of the buzz, Jinbai Entertainment posted recruitment information online. The age requirement was especially broad. The usual limit of thirty-five and under had been changed directly to fifty and under. This allowed many people to see an opportunity. They came with the attitude of giving it a try, only to be pleasantly surprised.

In the company's private group chat—

[Young people really are different when they become presidents. New ideas, new trends. Once again, thank you, President Cai, for giving me this opportunity.] This was from a newly appointed supervisor who had just turned forty. Usually stern and reserved, he could sincerely flatter someone in the private group chat.

[Me too. I'm very grateful to President Cai.] This was from a housewife who had just given birth. She had quit her job to stay home and have the baby, but when she looked for work again, she repeatedly hit walls. No matter how outstanding her résumé was, people would refuse her as soon as they heard she had just given birth.

She had nearly developed anxiety and insomnia because of it, unable to sleep all night. Fortunately, she had ultimately found Jinbai Entertainment.

[After working here for these past few days, I still find it a little unbelievable. You can actually leave once you finish your work. Overtime isn't mandatory, but leaving work on time is mandatory, haha. When Assistant Yuan said that, I thought it was just another nice-sounding line. But when the time came, the company actually turned off the lights and everyone left. Not a second was wasted. Assistant Yuan even led the charge, saying that anyone who wanted to work overtime had to submit a report first so their overtime pay could be calculated later, haha. If you work overtime at the company, they not only leave the lights on especially for you, but you also get a late-night meal allowance. I've never seen such a humane company!]

[I was shocked by the overtime pay and late-night meal allowance too. How many companies can manage those two things? A late-night meal allowance is practically unheard of. They all say, 'Overtime isn't mandatory,' 'You can stay voluntarily,' and 'You can leave once your work is done,' but at my previous company, I clearly finished my work and left on time, only to get called in by my boss for a talk the next day. Heh.]

[Brother, I went through that too. Don't even mention it. It was way too performative. 'Voluntary overtime' with no overtime pay. I worked myself half to death, and my health ended up collapsing. Luckily, I came to interview at Jinbai Entertainment. Otherwise, I would've regretted it for the rest of my life. In the future, people will have to fight tooth and nail just to get into President Cai's company.]

[It definitely won't be easy. I'm going to work for President Cai for the rest of my life!]

[One lifetime isn't enough. I want to work for President Cai in my next life too!]

[Haha, enough talking, everyone. Back to work.]

"Hello, President Cai!" X2.

When he arrived on the top floor, Xu Yuqing and Liu Rong were about to leave.

Today was Liu Rong's official first day at Jinbai Entertainment.

Afterward, Xu Yuqing would enter Chen Chengrong's production for closed-set filming.

Cai Jinbai nodded. "Here to pick up your contract?"

"Yes, President Cai. I just spoke with Assistant Yuan," Liu Rong said.

After Cai Jinbai left, Liu Rong could not help sighing to Xu Yuqing, "You were absolutely right to suggest that I switch jobs and come work at Jinbai Entertainment."

Fortunately, she had made her decision quickly. Otherwise, if she had delayed any longer, she might not have been able to leave Star Universe Entertainment at all.

Only before Gao Su had fully reacted had she been able to leave in time.

And after coming here, she discovered that Jinbai Entertainment was better than Star Universe Entertainment in far more ways than one.

Xu Yuqing said, "You were also right not to give up on coming for the interview. Otherwise, I really would have missed this opportunity too."

Thinking back to how desperate and helpless he had been then, Xu Yuqing could now smile easily.

It had not actually been that long ago, yet he felt that everything had changed.

"Oh, right, do you think..." Liu Rong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Was that blogger who cleared your name online arranged by President Cai behind the scenes?"

Xu Yuqing shook his head when he heard that. He did not know either, but he thought so. "Otherwise, would someone really stand up for a stranger like me?"

"I also think President Cai is the one making a move." Liu Rong had the same feeling.

Xu Yuqing said, "I truly don't know how I should thank President Cai."

Not only had Cai Jinbai saved him from Star Universe Entertainment and allowed him to terminate his contract smoothly, he had also stirred up attention across the internet and cleared his name...

Xu Yuqing pressed a hand to his chest and declared firmly, "I will definitely repay President Cai properly!"

Liu Rong said, "Let's work hard together."

"Mm!"

Cai Jinbai entered the office, where Xuan Yu was sitting on the sofa trimming a bouquet. With his cold appearance and sharp aura, it was hard to imagine that he could do such delicate and meticulous work. Yet the truth was that Xuan Yu could not only do it, but did it exceptionally well. Soon, he placed all the trimmed flowers into a vase, then set the vase on Cai Jinbai's desk so that Cai Jinbai could see it as soon as he looked up while working.

After arranging the flowers, Xuan Yu casually adjusted the incense burner, allowing the fragrance to disperse more slowly.

"Do the flowers look nice?" Xuan Yu asked as he leaned against the desk.

Cai Jinbai had originally been reading a document, but while Xuan Yu arranged the flowers, he had set the document down and begun admiring them.

"They do." Cai Jinbai smiled as he answered.

The sunlight on the top floor was bright and dazzling. Although the windows had already been treated to block the light, they still could not stop the sunlight from pouring in without restraint.

It seemed as though a golden edge had been gilded around Cai Jinbai, warm and soft, yet it was still not as radiant as his smile, which drew Xuan Yu's gaze even more.

Cai Jinbai walked closer, his long, fair fingers brushing the soft petals twice. He glanced to the side and asked, "Xuan, what is this?"

Xuan Yu came back to his senses and stepped forward to open the paper bag. "It's dessert I bought outside. They released a new one. Didn't you say last time that the desserts from that shop were delicious? When I saw there was something new, I bought it back for you. Try it."

He unconsciously emphasized twice that he had bought it back himself. He had gone there personally and had only bought one.

Clearly, Xuan Yu would not eat it. It was only for Cai Jinbai.

He opened the dessert box, scooped up a bite with a fork, and naturally held it to Cai Jinbai's lips, just like when he had fed him watermelon before.

Cai Jinbai opened his mouth and ate it. A little cream stained his lips, only for him to lick it away.

He had already put down the document. Both of his hands were empty, yet he did not feel that there was anything wrong with Xuan Yu's actions.

"How is it?"

"It's delicious." Cai Jinbai looked satisfied.

Xuan Yu said, "Then it seems this shop is pretty good."

He quietly made a note of it. He would buy more later. Jinbai liked sweets.

The dessert was not large, and Cai Jinbai quickly finished it.

Yuan Guangjin happened to knock and enter just then. "President Cai, the photography team you wanted to meet has arrived."

Chapter 21

Xuan Hanfeng and the others waited anxiously in the reception room. They were a photography team of five people including himself, and Xuan Hanfeng was the captain. But before coming to the Jinbai Group building, their photography team had been on the verge of disbanding.

It was not because the members got along poorly or had many conflicts. It was because they had no funds or equipment left to support the team's filming operations.

As the captain, Xuan Hanfeng had a good personality and considerable ability, while the other four members of the team each had their own talents.

Originally, there had been more than just the five of them on the team, but in the end, only these five remained.
