Chapter 116 Xiao Zhao on the first day of work at Blue Whale
Magic City Baoshan, Blue Whale Company
Xiao Zhao looked at Wei Yang's office curiously. The latter had taken over the company for more than half a year, and this was her first time here.
"How about it, let's go luxurious."
Wei Yang's office was inherited from Lao Zheng. Its bold style, decoration, layout, and supplies are definitely not cheap. It can even be said to be one of Blue Whale's most expensive assets.
Although he felt that the layout was a bit like a nouveau riche, Wei Yang didn't change it. Firstly, he had no money, and secondly, although it looked a bit rustic, it was quite comfortable to use.
Wei Yang is a pragmatist. If it is useful, then keep it and renovate it later when you have money.
There is no need to even renovate. The company will move directly. Baoshan is still a bit out of the way. Wei Yang has been thinking about moving to the inner ring or the middle ring when the company grows.
“It’s pretty good, better than I expected.”
Xiao Zhao's aesthetics haven't come up yet, so he doesn't think it's vulgar. Instead, he really likes the three-meter-long boss table and the wide boss chair, which he finds particularly domineering.
"Like it? Sit down and try it."
Xiao Zhao was encouraged by Wei Yang to sit on the boss's chair. He kicked his feet and spun around in the chair. Then he held the boss's desk with both hands, straightened his back, and looked around the office with bright eyes.
"Don't say it, it feels really different."
Wei Yang cooperated and handed over a document on the table: "Mr. Zhao, please sign here."
Xiao Zhao pretended to read the document and imitated the instructions given by the boss and CEO on TV, and Wei Yang agreed with him.
The two were having fun when there was a knock on the office door. Xiao Zhao jumped up from his chair. Wei Yang smiled, sat on the boss's chair and raised his voice.
"Come in."
Secretary Hu Ya led Lei Chun in, and then quietly left. Wei Yang introduced both parties.
"This is Lei Chun, the director of our company's artist management department. He is also my manager. The company refers to his job title, but privately he can be called Lei Ge."
"This is Zhao Liying."
Zhao Liying must know Lei Chun, but the latter doesn't know her very well, but she also has some guesses.
After all, Xiao Zhao had an affair with Wei Yang when he was on the set of "The Best of Us". The outside world may not know much about it, but there are still many old people in Blue Whale who were on the set.
Originally, everyone had forgotten about this, but Wei Yang suddenly announced that he had signed Xiao Zhao, and many people thought of this old incident again and made some associations.
Lei Chun is considered a senior executive in the company and is close to the boss, so he knows more details.
He has no opinion on this matter. He is just a part-time worker and cannot interfere with his boss's personal affairs.
Besides, Wei Yang is young, talented, good-looking, and rich. If he were to compare his feelings with others, if he were Wei Yang, he would probably spend more money than he does.
As for whether it would affect his career, of course Wei Yang would be afraid if he were a pure idol artist, but he is not.
As an agent, Lei Chun could remind him, but as Wei Yang's subordinate, it was not convenient for him to interrupt too much.
With his mind turning, Lei Chun's attitude towards Zhao Liying was very kind, friendly yet close.
"Liying, if you encounter anything in the company in the future, you can come to me directly. Don't be polite to me."
Xiao Zhao did not rely on him because of his special status. Although he accepted Lei Chun's kindness, he kept his attitude very low.
"Then I'll trouble you more in the future, Brother Lei."
"My family, you're welcome."
After touching the bottom, Lei Chun also talked about business. Currently, there are only three artists in Blue Whale. Leaving aside the special situation of Wei Yang, the only serious ones are Zhao Ji and Zhao Liying.
When Zhao Ji originally signed a contract with the company, it was just in the midst of its popularity. In order to get ahead of other companies, Blue Whale offered him a June 4th contract.
Zhao Liying joined under normal circumstances, and she is not a famous artist, so it is naturally impossible for her to get such a superior contract directly.
Public is public, private is private. No matter how partial Wei Yang is in private, the contract must be relatively fair on the surface, otherwise it will easily lead to disputes if he signs another artist later.
However, Wei Yang took some care of him and gave Xiao Zhao a 37-70 contract for eight years on the pretext that he was somewhat famous and had potential.
According to the regulations of Blue Whale, normal newcomers are offered 80-20 bonuses, and only newcomers with relatively high potential or good prospects are given 73-30 bonuses. The contract period is at least six years.
In fact, unless there are special circumstances, the contract period basically starts at eight years.
So looking at it this way, Xiao Zhao's contract is very normal, especially compared with Zhao Ji, who looks like Wei Yang's girlfriend.
Since there are only two artists in the company, even though Blue Whale is still relatively small, Xiao Zhao is assigned an assistant, and the manager and Zhao Ji share one.
Later, Wei Yang also considered providing some basic salary, rental subsidies and other miscellaneous benefits. These famous artists may not be able to use them, but newcomers are still very important.
However, it is just an idea now, and it is not expected to be implemented until next year, after the actual income from "My Love from the Star" is received.
Xiao Zhao knew all this early and quickly signed the contract. Once the seal was stamped, she would be a Blue Whale artist for the next eight years.
"Okay, you take Xiaoying for a walk, meet people and so on."
Wei Yang has no plans to make it public with Xiao Zhao. It doesn't matter in private. You can guess whatever you want. On the surface, the relationship between the two of them is that of boss and employee.
"Okay, then you go ahead and we'll go there first."
Lei Chun greeted, and Xiao Zhao obediently bowed to Wei Yang: "Goodbye, Mr. Wei."
Wei Yang waved his hand, and after the two left, he rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.
I don’t know if it’s because of his status, but Xiao Zhao’s address as “Mr. Wei” just feels like there’s a different kind of stimulation than the others…
…
Over here, Xiao Zhao followed Lei Chun to the artist management department. This department was newly established, with a decent area, but relatively few staff.
Even if we add the two newly recruited interns, the entire department will only have five or six people.
Lei Chun introduced Xiao Zhao, then pointed at a chubby girl: "This is Yuanyuan, I will be your assistant from now on."
Yuanyuan came over to say hello: "Hello, Sister Ying."
Xiao Zhao, who was not yet 22 years old and was used to being a little transparent, almost never heard anyone call him that. He was in a daze before shaking hands with his new assistant.
"Okay, I'll be in trouble later."
Lei Chun was relatively busy, but he still took Xiao Zhao to meet with several company leaders.
In fact, we may not necessarily interact with each other in the future, but after all, we are all middle and high-level people in the company. We all look familiar. At least we know who we are and what our positions are.
If you are a normal artist, this is a sign of paying homage to the dock. Your manager will say a few nice words and ask the leaders to take more care of Balabala.
However, Xiao Zhao's situation is quite special, and none of the people in charge who were visited dared to take any arrogance.
Just kidding, the company is such a big place, and the employees below may still be kept in the dark. Anyone who can sit in a mid- to high-level position is not a good person.
Regardless of whether she is the boss lady or not, whether she can succeed in the position in the future or not, as long as she is still doing it at Blue Whale, she will support her first, and she will not offend her in the end.
Even General Manager Lao Xia took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Xiao Zhao and give him some encouragement.
Blue Whale's attention from top to bottom made Xiao Zhao, who was used to being left out in Huayi, experience a different feeling.
Even though she knew these people were because of Wei Yang, it still gave her a deeper sense of belonging to the company Blue Whale.
After meeting with the people in charge, Lei Chun realized that his mission was over, but Xiao Zhao did not ignore the employees below.
She took her assistant Yuanyuan to a nearby cafe, ordered afternoon tea and snacks for everyone in the company, and delivered them to each department one by one, saying some nice words to make them look familiar.
Some people think that Xiao Zhao is too arrogant and does this when he first comes here to show his sense of existence.
Some people also think that Xiao Zhao knows how to be a good person. She is an artist after all, and the nature of her employment is different from that of ordinary employees. Moreover, many tasks rely on the efforts of various departments. When she first comes to the company, it is normal to seek a good reputation.
Xiao Zhao also finished the order, and after serving afternoon tea, he stopped and stayed in the artist management department to familiarize himself with various situations of the company.
But when she was idle, someone came to visit her——
Makeup artist Xiao Fang!
This was Xiao Zhao's roommate on the set of "The Best of Us". They got along well with each other. Later, they left after the filming was completed, and they even called each other to say hello from time to time.
Xiao Fang was not originally an employee of Blue Whale Company, but just worked as an intern with his master. He was part of an outsourcing team and was contracted by the crew.
Later, after filming "Orange in Huainan", she officially started her career. When Blue Whale was recruiting people, she joined Blue Whale.
Later, something happened to Blue Whale. It was difficult for her, a newly minted makeup artist, to find a job, so she stayed away for the time being. As a result, Wei Yang took over and she became one of the more than sixty veterans.
Not to mention now, Xiao Zhao was waiting for Xiao Zhao to come, and others could not be sure. She had watched Wei Yang and Xiao Zhao being ambiguous with her own eyes.
How should I put it, it was like suddenly having a backer falling from the sky...
Xiao Zhao is also very happy to meet an acquaintance!
When I first joined the company, I needed to understand everything. Wei Yang, the boss, was aloof and had people below him doing the errands for everything. In fact, he might not know many things.
And Lei Chun and his assistant Yuanyuan had just met, so Xiao Zhao couldn't figure out their personalities and couldn't ask around.
Xiaofang filled this gap perfectly. They were familiar with each other, and she had been in the company for a long time, so she could chat well and knew a lot.
In fact, Xiaofang did not disappoint Xiao Zhao's expectations. He whispered to her and shared a lot of internal situations in the company, allowing Zhao Liying to have a more detailed understanding of some things that may not be clear through normal channels.
The relationship between the HR department and the film and television production department is not very harmonious!
Boss Wei’s second general, Lei Chunhe, is the head of the finance department. Assistant Wei Fei and secretary Hu Ya cannot be offended!
There are many internal rumors about Xiao Zhao joining the contract company, and everyone is waiting to see!
"..."
Xiaofang didn't dare to fish for too long, but the information revealed was enough for Zhao Liying to digest for a while.
After get off work in the evening, Lei Chun came over to greet me again: "Have you found a place to live? The company can find a house for you."
"No need, I have a place to stay."
Xiao Zhao politely declined, went downstairs and stood near the company, and was about to consider whether to take the subway or take a taxi, when a Passat stopped in front of her.
The car window was lowered, revealing Wei Yang's face: "It's your first day at work, let's celebrate with something good."
Xiao Zhao felt warm in his heart, stepped into the car, hugged Wei Yang's arm, and asked sweetly: "Where are we going?"
"We haven't eaten Western food before, so I'll take you to try it."
