Chapter 443 Just an organizational task
Although my wife's studio is currently facing a severe shortage of manpower, if Wang Xianjiao could go there, she would undoubtedly be in her element and would be able to make great strides.
But Yu Huan knew that this matter couldn't be rushed; he needed to give them some time to think it over.
Seeing Wang Xianjiao nod with some hesitation, Yu Huan smiled meaningfully and then began his persuasive approach.
"I'm not just telling you to go for Su Su's sake; the key is your own development. Based on your understanding of the entertainment industry and the work experience you've accumulated in the new media department, I can guarantee you that once you join the studio, you won't just be a manual laborer in a company."
That's quite a straightforward statement.
Yu Huan was also very tactful and did not belittle the work of her own department.
After all, even if Wang Xianjiao gets a permanent position, it will only be a support staff position.
This job is relatively stable, but the salary is limited, the competition is fierce, and the chances of promotion are slim.
Just look at the group representatives under him, and Chen Yaoyao, whom he personally mentored. They are all outstanding and hardworking individuals who occupy important positions and also occupy limited future promotion opportunities.
Of course, Li Xiaoyu, who waits to get off work every day, is an exception, but she only appears to be lazy; her personal abilities are absolutely outstanding.
With these people blocking her way, if Wang Xianjiao wanted a stable life and chose to stay at the newspaper, Yu Huan dared to say that her future would be stagnant, with no room for advancement.
Wang Xianjiao listened attentively to Yu Huan's words, and the hesitation in her eyes faded slightly.
She bit her lip and replied softly, "Brother Yu, I understand. I've remembered everything you said. I'll definitely think about it carefully during the holiday."
Yu Huan stopped there and didn't waste any more words trying to persuade her.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. Time was of the essence; he needed to hurry to the cafeteria to fill his stomach before heading to Hunan TV.
Yu Huan pushed her office chair under the desk, turned around and strode away, saying as she went, "By the way, Wang Xianjiao, you must keep your mouth shut. When the time is right, we will naturally go public."
"Brother Yu, don't worry! I will never tell anyone about you and Susu! I swear, I will keep my mouth shut!" Wang Xianjiao hurried a few steps to catch up, her face serious.
Yu Huan glanced back at her serious expression before opening the door with a gesture of invitation.
Wang Xianjiao stepped across the threshold, tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turbulent waves in her heart.
The soft lighting in the workroom made her slightly bloodshot eyes appear bright.
After walking a short distance alongside Yu Huan, Wang Xianjiao stopped near her workstation and quickly said, "Brother Yu, I wish you a smooth recording of the show and a perfect ending!"
"Thank you." Yu Huan turned to the side, a smile on her face, and nodded slightly to her.
Watching Yu Huan's receding figure, Wang Xianjiao felt a mix of emotions, like a jumbled mess of feelings.
In my mind, the image of Brother Yu casually spreading his hands and his somewhat nonchalant expression suddenly surfaced, and his half-joking tone seemed to echo in my ears.
"I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore..."
Wang Xianjiao felt a sudden itch in her teeth and wanted to bite someone.
She plopped heavily onto her workstation, her mind instantly turning into a jumbled mess.
She was faced with an incredibly difficult choice.
On one hand, there's the stable and respectable job in a public institution, a secure job that, for a woman, means a life without troubles, where she can live a peaceful and uneventful life by following the established routine.
On the other hand, there is the idol studio, full of allure and unknowns, which, according to Brother Yu, seems to offer great opportunities.
This choice was so difficult that it left her feeling deeply confused...
Yu Huan pressed the button for the downward elevator, finally getting a moment of leisure after a busy morning.
He reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and with a light touch of his finger, the screen lit up instantly.
What caught his eye was a text message sent by director Zhang Yue at 10 a.m., which was very polite and asked if he needed someone to come and pick him up.
Yu Huan lowered her head slightly, remembering that the rehearsal would start at 2:30 pm, and her fingers quickly tapped on the nine-square grid.
"Thank you. I've been incredibly busy this morning and just had a moment to check my phone. I'll head over myself in a bit; I should be at the broadcasting center around 1:30 PM."
Today's schedule was packed. Yu Huan rushed to the cafeteria, quickly finished her meal, and then strode to the roadside parking space, starting her little BMW smoothly.
The car engine roared, speeding along the road.
Just past one o'clock, we arrived at the iconic Toilet Building.
Yu Huan had been to this place several times in his previous life, and he parked his BMW in the open-air parking lot next to the T2 area with great familiarity.
The so-called T2 area is the low building on the right side of the 'h'-shaped building complex, which contains three studios: one large and two small.
During this period, because the recording of "I Am a Singer" has taken up a lot of venue resources, Yu Huan secretly wondered that long-established programs like "Day Day Up" and "Happy Camp" would definitely have to condescend to record in small halls in the near future.
Although Zhang Yue's email did not mention this detail, he had been in the media industry for so many years that he was quite familiar with this kind of thing.
Yu Huan unbuckled her seatbelt but did not rush to get out of the car.
Just moments before, he clearly felt his phone vibrate slightly in his pocket, so he took it out and turned on the screen to take a look.
It turned out to be a WeChat message sent by his wife seven minutes earlier.
'Honey, where are you? Are you at the broadcasting center yet?'
Yu Huan sat calmly in the driver's seat, her long, slender fingers tapping lightly on the screen as she quickly replied, "Just started driving, we're here. How did your recording of 'As You Wish' go?"
A moment later, a new message popped up on my phone screen: 'I'm at the hotel now, haven't started recording yet. I mainly filmed some New Year's materials this morning, I'll go to the recording studio this afternoon, and we'll go home together then~'
Yu Huan narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering for a moment.
These past few days, I've been guiding Lin Yourong step by step, and she seems to have gained double experience points. Her understanding of the song "Ru Yuan" in terms of singing techniques, emotional expression, and other aspects has reached a very profound level.
Judging from the current situation, as long as the recording goes smoothly, it's no exaggeration to say that it's just a formality and should be completed quickly.
Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously crept onto Yu Huan's lips: "My official recording doesn't start until 7 PM. If you're finished on your end, hurry home and rest. Don't wait for me."
"No! I'll wait for you!" The four words quickly appeared on the phone screen.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan seemed to instantly picture Lin Yourong's slightly pouting cherry lips and her charmingly glamorous face with sparkling eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
He texted with a smile: 'Sweetie, get some rest and be well-rested so you can be at your best for recording this afternoon.'
"I was planning to take a nap, but there's a lot to do recording the show. I mentioned it to Sister Ru and asked her to be your consultant later." Lin Yourong's reply quickly appeared.
Yu Huan was slightly taken aback when she saw the message.
Immediately, her fingers flew across the keyboard as she quickly typed a reply: 'No need for all that trouble. Uncle Wang has already arranged a director to work with me. They're a professional team; everything's been arranged perfectly. Just relax and focus on recording the song. Don't worry about me; just take care of your own business.'
The message had barely been sent when Lin Yourong immediately followed up with a question: "Really? Was the director male or female?" Yu Huan looked at the question, couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle, then truthfully typed in her reply: "Female."
Soon, a simple "Oh" appeared on the screen.
Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle, her fingers unconsciously typing out a line of teasing text: 'Could someone's mouth hold a bottle of vinegar?'
However, as her fingertip hovered over the send button, Yu Huan hesitated for a moment.
It seems that Lin Yourong has some ulterior motives. If she doesn't, then it's fine to make a joke.
But if things really turn out as he expects, clicking "send" would be like stepping on her tail, and she'd probably immediately get angry.
After weighing the options, Yu Huan deleted the humorous and playful text, and then Lin Yourong sent another message.
"I don't care, Sister Ru is very experienced. I only feel at ease when she's around. She's already getting ready to leave, so you can't refuse."
Yu Huan smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, how about I pick her up at the hotel entrance? You and Xing Yujia need a car for your recording studio trip this afternoon."
After sending the message, Yu Huan waited a while.
A short while later, a new message box popped up on the screen.
'Alright. '
'Okay, then you should take a good nap, recharge your energy, and be in top form for recording "As You Wish".'
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yourong replied: "Okay, see you tonight~"
Yu Huan smiled and quickly typed: "See you tonight."
After ending his conversation with Lin Yourong, Yu Huan tossed his phone onto the armrest, fastened his seatbelt again, and turned the car key.
With the roar of the engine, the car slowly started and smoothly drove away from the Toilet Building.
Throughout the journey, Yu Huan's thoughts were still lingering on her conversation with Lin Yourong.
My wife's occasional bouts of jealousy seem to add a unique flavor to our busy days, which is quite interesting.
Before long, we arrived at the entrance road to the Fez Hotel.
Yu Huan parked his BMW on the side of the road, and before long, he saw Sister Ru's figure.
She wore a smart beige trench coat, her hair was neatly tied back, and she was also wearing sunglasses. She had quite a presence.
Sister Ru turned her head and saw the BMW. She strode over and reached out to open the passenger door.
As soon as she got in the car, she said with a bright smile, "Susu told me repeatedly, and told me to be your temporary manager. She also said that if you encounter any problems, just ask me."
Yu Huan turned her head and replied with a smile, "Sister Ru, thank you for making this trip."
"What's the trouble? Yu Huan, I saw it clearly. Su Su cares about you a lot." Sister Ru fastened her seatbelt and clicked her tongue. "This is your first time on a show. She was afraid you wouldn't be confident and might make a mistake, so she insisted that I come along."
Yu Huan gently pressed the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and made a clean U-turn on the road.
He casually added, "That's right. With Sister Ru by my side, I feel much more at ease, like I've taken a reassurance pill."
Sister Ru smiled at these words, slowly took out her phone from her shoulder bag, and focused on replying to messages.
A moment later, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned her head to look at Yu Huan and said, "I heard you and Susu are not going back to your hometown until tomorrow night? Why don't you come over to my place for lunch and have some fun?"
Yu Huan stared intently at the road ahead. Upon hearing Sister Ru's words, he raised an eyebrow slightly and pondered for a moment.
Judging from this situation, Sister Ru has most likely already spoken with Lin Yourong, otherwise she wouldn't have extended the invitation so suddenly.
Seeing that he did not respond immediately, Sister Ru tilted her head slightly and glanced at Yu Huan's profile, who was deep in thought, before saying, "You are Weiwei's godparents after all. There are no other relatives at my house tomorrow. If you are willing to come, it would really bring joy to my family. Please don't be shy."
Yu Huan snapped out of his thoughts and asked, "What did my wife say?"
"She said, 'It's up to you,'" Sister Ru replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan immediately agreed, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "Alright, Sister Ru, then I'll gladly accept your offer. By the way, does your dad smoke or drink?"
Sister Ru stuffed her phone back into her bag, a helpless, bitter smile on her face. She waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Don't mention this. I'm really worried about it. I'm thinking every day about how to persuade him to quit smoking and drink less alcohol. His health is the most important thing. If you bring gifts when you come to visit, that would be too formal. We don't care about those formalities."
Yu Huan smiled brightly and said nothing more.
In just five minutes, the little BMW returned to its original position in the parking lot.
Yu Huan turned off the engine, glanced at Sister Ru who had gotten out of the car first, then picked up her phone from the armrest and quickly dialed the number of director Zhang Yue.
He informed the other party that he had arrived at the destination, and then humorously added that an industry insider was accompanying him, who also knew Uncle Wang and was acting as his temporary agent.
When Zhang Yue heard this on the other end of the phone, she didn't seem surprised and arranged to meet him in the lobby of T2 area.
Sister Ru didn't close the car door immediately, but instead listened to everything Yu Huan said on the phone.
After seeing Yu Huan put on her mask and get out of the car, she said half-jokingly, "Yu Huan, you're quite thoughtful. You knew to inform the production team about me beforehand."
As Yu Huan locked the car, she turned her head to the side and replied with a smile, "With an industry expert like Sister Ru protecting us, this recording will definitely go smoothly."
Sister Ru felt comforted by his words, and her smile grew even brighter. However, she said, "Don't joke with me. With Wang Han around, what right do I have to protect you? In the end, Su Su really cares about you to the core and is afraid that something might happen to you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan almost burst out laughing.
He knew perfectly well that Lin Yourong probably had some ulterior motives because she heard that the person he was dealing with was a female director, but she didn't want to say it outright, so she sent Sister Ru over to keep an eye on him from the side.
He knew his wife's personality quite well.
The thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before Yu Huan immediately took a step forward and casually replied to Sister Ru, "Sister Ru, you're underestimating yourself."
"Hey!" Sister Ru adjusted her sunglasses and teased, "But speaking of which, Su Su is recording 'As You Wish' over there, and you're recording 'Day Day Up' here. You're both shining brightly. When the time comes, won't you two be a perfect couple in the entertainment industry, making so many people envious?"
Yu Huan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I'm not in the entertainment industry. This was just an assignment from the organization."
This explanation made Sister Ru chuckle.
The two chatted back and forth as they walked into the lobby of T2 area.
Sister Ru lagged behind Yu Huan by a step, keeping pace with him.
As they walked, seeing how familiar he was with the place, she suddenly became curious: "Yu Huan, have you been to Hunan TV before?"
"When I was in college, I signed up to participate in the recording of Happy Camp," Yu Huan said casually.
"Oh." Sister Ru nodded in belief.
