Chapter 45

（It's the last two days of the new book ranking, let's keep working hard, I need your votes!）

At Donglong International Entertainment Media, apart from the General Manager Wu Cheng and the Secretary and Financial Manager Zhao Yazhi, there was only the Publicity Department Manager Cen Jianxun. All other positions were still vacant.

Originally, Wu Cheng wanted Hong Jinbao to serve as the company's Production Department Manager or Human Resources Manager, but Hong Jinbao directly refused.

For the Production Department, he felt his eye for talent wasn't as good as Wu Cheng's, so it was better for Wu Cheng to take on both roles; as for the Human Resources Department, that was a place he definitely didn't want to work in.

His current mindset was to focus on making films. If he had started his own company, he might have taken on the role of Production Manager, as this department was too important.

However, with Wu Cheng around, he trusted Wu Cheng's judgment and abilities. This was evident from how Wu Cheng had single-handedly handled everything from the creation to the release of "The Five Lucky Stars," from production to promotion and screening.

Moreover, Wu Cheng owned 70% of the company's shares, so he didn't doubt that Wu Cheng would put in the effort.

Compared to managing the company, his greater interest was in making films. Therefore, he directly passed the responsibility of the company to Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng thought this was fine. If there were any real issues with the company, he would have to pitch in anyway. Since his focus was on making films, he might as well let Wu Cheng handle the company.

On the first day of recruitment, the number of applicants exceeded Wu Cheng's expectations. He thought that for his shell movie company, there wouldn't be many people applying on the first day, but nearly a hundred people showed up. Wu Cheng even saw a familiar figure among them.

Wu Cheng found the person familiar not because of his handsome looks, but because of his extremely fierce appearance, a natural villain.

On the first floor of the company, all the seats were occupied by applicants, with water dispensers nearby for them to get water. Since Cheng Long had nothing to do, he came to help Wu Cheng. He claimed it was to help, but Wu Cheng thought he was just there to flirt with girls.

Seeing a beautiful woman, he would immediately go up to her and start flirting. Recently, he was quite popular, so a few women were swayed by his charm. This made Wu Cheng want to kick him out to practice Drunken Fist, to avoid tarnishing the company's reputation.

After "The Five Lucky Stars" was released, Cheng Long had received many offers, but as a shareholder of the company, he could only take roles from the company. Wu Cheng had also prepared a script for him, so he had to turn down the other offers.

Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi were conducting interviews on the second floor. Early in the morning, Wu Cheng had received the resumes of the applicants and noticed three familiar names.

It had to be said, Hong Kong was really small!

Wu Cheng gestured to Zhao Yazhi and handed her the three resumes, saying, "Let Ah Long call these three people up first. Also, tell him to stop flirting with girls downstairs. If he doesn't want to work, he can go home and practice boxing. I didn't really want him to come and meddle anyway."

Zhao Yazhi smiled and took the resumes, looking at the information on them. She looked at him with some suspicion and said, "Is there anything special about these three people? Especially this one named Ren Dahua, who seems to be from the TVB training program... Aren't we recruiting executives today? Can he be an executive? He's so young..."

"I plan to sign him!" Wu Cheng smiled.

Although Ren Dahua wasn't easy to become famous yet, he would eventually become a great actor. Even though it was still a long way off.

Moreover, even if it wasn't for his future as a great actor, it was also because of his good brother, who would become a significant figure in the Hong Kong police force.

Such a win-win situation, which had come knocking at his door, couldn't be turned away. If heaven offers it and you refuse, you will regret it!

"What about this one?" Zhao Yazhi pointed to the man in the photo and said, "This person looks like a bad guy. Is it really okay to hire him?"

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "When did our gentle and kind Sister Zhi learn to judge people by their appearance? Yes, he does look fierce, but he has his abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have built a business worth a few million from scratch, even though it eventually failed. I don't think it was due to a lack of ability, but for other reasons. Let's call him up and see! We don't have to hire him if we don't want to."

"Fine! I can't argue with you!" Zhao Yazhi gave him a playful glare and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhao Yazhi in her well-fitted business suit, Wu Cheng felt a bit depressed, "Time travel is a technical job! Accidentally becoming a child, this revolution is really tough!"

Especially since Wu Cheng appeared as a child in front of her, the impression was deeply ingrained in her mind. No wonder she couldn't change her attitude and accept him.

Soon, Zhao Yazhi led a mature and beautiful woman in her mid-twenties into the room. Her tall figure, paired with high heels and stockings, and her professional suit and slightly avant-garde hairstyle, made her look like a very intellectual office lady.

Behind her, Cheng Long was looking at her with a sneaky expression, which made Wu Cheng feel a bit uncomfortable. Could Cheng Long be interested in her? What about Xu Laoguai?

But thinking about it, Xu Laoguai didn't seem to have ended up with her, so he didn't think about it too much.

"Miss Shi, please sit down!" Wu Cheng gestured and smiled, "I have many positions available. What position do you think you can handle?"

This woman was Shi Nansheng, who had returned from studying abroad last year and worked at a public relations company, gaining considerable experience in administrative work.

In Wu Cheng's memory, he only knew that this woman would become Xu Laoguai's wife and help New World stand firm, showing exceptional ability.

If one were to rank the strong women in the Hong Kong film industry, this woman would definitely be among the top. And such a person had come to interview at his company.

Life was truly full of coincidences that were hard to describe.

But clearly, Wu Cheng was quite fond of such coincidences.

Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "My previous work was in administration, and I think I can serve as the manager of the Administrative Department. My previous company was a large one and couldn't provide such a platform for a newcomer like me. But I believe Donglong can, so I came here!"

"Aren't you afraid my company might go bankrupt?" Wu Cheng laughed and asked, "And, I look so young, do you really believe I can lead Donglong to glory?"

"Age is not an issue. What you did for 'The Five Lucky Stars' has already proven your ability, vision, and courage... These are my own deductions based on some information. Although Mr. Hong Jinbao is a great director, if he had this ability, he would have started his own company long ago. So, I'm not worried about your age."

Shi Nansheng smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear, "Of course, if such an unfortunate thing really happens, I can only say, 'I deeply sympathize with your situation.' For us employees, if Donglong fails, we can just change our work environment and start over."

She paused and then smiled, "But if I perform well, even if I unfortunately lose my job in the future, with my experience, I won't have trouble finding a new job!"

Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "Very good, you seem very confident. I can trust the Administrative Department to you. But I hope you won't let me down."

"Then, can I say, 'It's a pleasure to work with you'?" Shi Nansheng smiled, stood up, and extended her hand to Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng smiled, stood up, and shook her hand, "I should say, 'You can wait for my message at home,' but because of your confidence, I'll make an exception and promote you. From now on, you are the Administrative Department Manager of Donglong International Entertainment Media! Manager Shi, welcome to Donglong. I believe your choice won't be wrong!"

He paused and then waved to Cheng Long, "Manager Shi, let me introduce you."

"I know him!" Shi Nansheng smiled slightly but wasn't particularly fond of Cheng Long.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "You know he's an actor, but you might not know that he's also a shareholder of Donglong International. Ah Long, from now on, Manager Shi is one of us, so don't bully her."

"Ah Cheng, what are you saying? Am I the kind of person who would do that?" Cheng Long was a bit embarrassed.

Wu Cheng rolled his eyes, thinking, "If I don't remind you, I'm afraid you'll cause trouble in the company."

"This is Zhao Yazhi, our Financial Department Manager, and she's also my secretary for now," Wu Cheng pointed to Zhao Yazhi and said.

"Manager Zhao, hello! Please take care of me in the future."

"Manager Shi, no need to be polite. We should communicate more in the future!"

After Shi Nansheng left, Ren Dahua came in. Seeing Wu Cheng, Zhao Yazhi, and Cheng Long sitting there, Ren Dahua bowed slightly and began his self-introduction, "I've been a model, an actor, and worked behind the scenes. I think, with my abilities, I can serve as the Deputy Manager of the Artist Department."

Ren Dahua still lacked confidence in himself, otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

Wu Cheng listened and shook his head, smiling, "I've heard of your name, but I think you have more potential as an actor. Although your appearance might not suit historical dramas or martial arts films, I believe you can play a tough criminal, a gang leader, or a police officer. Although these types of films aren't popular now, I believe they will become popular in the future. Are you willing to join Donglong International and wait for your opportunity, preparing to 'make a big splash' in the future?"

Ren Dahua, along with Zhao Yazhi and Cheng Long, were stunned by Wu Cheng's words, finding him incredibly persuasive and manipulative.

Why did they think it was manipulation? Because they felt what Wu Cheng said wasn't entirely true.

That's why their expressions were so strange.

Of course, the most bizarre reaction was from Ren Dahua!
