Chapter 38
The office wasn't particularly large, with an overall light brown color scheme. It was fully equipped with a desk, swivel chair, coffee table, sofa, and bookshelf.
On the right side was a small partitioned area where someone could take a brief rest.
Yao Bianliang arranged for the administrative assistant to conduct the interviews while she listened from behind the partition.
Assistant Chen was a male, efficient and concise, a man who got things done without unnecessary talk. He was a graduate of a prestigious university with many years of experience working in entertainment companies.
Yao Bianliang had offered a considerable salary to hire him.
Wèb ň_о v̌ ӗ l Е n ü mа̊
"Miss Liang, are you sure you don't want to conduct the interviews yourself?" Assistant Chen pushed his glasses up on his nose with slight hesitation.
Yao Bianliang waved her hand: "You can decide yourself."

There would be other interviews in the next two days. If she interviewed these people now, related information would likely appear on Weibo's trending topics tomorrow.
Assistant Chen was extremely meticulous in his work and never questioned her requirements, simply carrying them out. Yao Bianliang felt completely at ease letting him organize this interview.
"Very well. Miss Liang, these are the resumes of these candidates. I've made a copy for you. You can review them as we proceed."
Assistant Chen handed several resumes to Yao Bianliang, already arranged in order.
Е ǹŭ m a .ǐ d̃
"Miss Liang, your tea." Life assistant Yan Xiaoli had also prepared tea and brought a cup to Yao Bianliang.
Yao Bianliang thanked her and took a sip from the cup.
She secretly sighed to herself that she should have hired people much earlier.
Look at this—this was the standard of living an artist should have!

What kind of life had she been living before? Not only getting up early and going to bed late, but also handling a ton of work that wasn't hers to do.
No wonder celebrities all needed their own teams; otherwise, one person doing the work of several was truly overwhelming.
Еn um ӑ.і̌d̀_
Yao Bianliang had hired a total of three assistants this time. Two life assistants would accompany her to the production set, while Assistant Chen's main responsibility was to help her coordinate the team's affairs.
"Knock, knock, knock"
A knocking sound was heard, followed by several applicants entering in sequence.
Yao Bianliang began reviewing their resumes.
Short-haired tall woman, Xia Yin, three years since graduation with five job changes, three of which involved companies that went bankrupt during her employment.
Going to one company meant a 60% chance of that company going bankrupt—she was truly exceptional talent! She definitely had to join the studio.

Crew-cut young man, Zhou Fei, graduate of a prestigious university, previously worked at Ansheng Entertainment, recently dismissed.
His resume didn't show anything particularly outstanding, but he was a prestigious university graduate after all, so he needed further observation.
As for the other candidates, they lacked both education and ability—all excellent seedlings to help her cool down.
Good, they were all the talented people she had her eye on.
Yao Bianliang was very satisfied as she turned to the last page of resumes.
This time, the information that greeted her eyes made her pause.
Ŵ ėbn оv̇ е l̊ Ѐ n.um̈а
Zheng Han, former manager at Ansheng Entertainment. Compared to the other resumes, his was dazzling, with achievements that outshone all other applicants. He could only be described as "extremely outstanding."
Yao Bianliang was stunned, almost thinking she was hallucinating.

How did this guy get in here?
If you're so outstanding, wouldn't it be better to shine at another celebrity's studio? What are you doing coming to my small workshop?
Yao Bianliang couldn't help but look up, searching through the one-way glass of the partition for the man in the resume photo.
Manager Zheng sat in the middle, composed and confident, with an air of authority in his every move.
W ёb̊ ňо v ё l Ѐ n ûm̃ а̌
Compared to the nervous, uneasy people around him, he truly stood out from the crowd.
Yao Bianliang narrowed her eyes slightly.
Oh, so this was Zheng Han?
Such an outstanding talent, wanting to join her studio? Please don't come to ruin me.

Yao Bianliang picked up her pen and drew a small cross after the name "Zheng Han."
Meanwhile, Assistant Chen had already taken out several papers with questions and began the first round of Q&A.
Е̊n ǔ m̀а
[Q1: An artist has taken a set of portrait photos, but netizens say they're ugly. The situation is urgent—how would you resolve this crisis?]
Assistant Chen placed the paper with this question on the coffee table and smiled: "Everyone has one minute to think, then we'll begin answering."
Seeing this question, everyone fell into deep thought. When time was up, someone spoke first.
"Since the public thinks the photos are ugly, the best solution is to let people know that the photos don't reflect the person's true appearance. We can explain that this was a new style of makeup specifically designed for atmosphere, and arrange for marketing accounts to set the tone."
Another person said: "We shouldn't explain—the more we explain, the more likely the issue will escalate. The best approach is to quickly suppress the heat."
Manager Zheng listened to these responses with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

These were truly inexperienced individuals. With such handling methods, the artist's career would be doomed.
He cleared his throat and smiled calmly: "If I were handling this matter, I would suppress the heat of those ugly portrait photos. Then I'd buy a trending topic called #Ugly#, and in this topic, place the artist's retouched photos."
Everyone: !!
Could it be played this way?
The other applicants were stunned for a moment, then suddenly enlightened.
Yes, that was the most clever operation. Buy a trending topic called "Ugly," letting casual spectators assume the photos were ugly. But when they opened the trending topic, they'd discover that the artist in the photos actually looked stunning.
Е n̄ um̃ á . і̀d.
This way, there would be controversy, heat, and not only would it successfully eliminate the negative impact from the portrait photos backfiring, but it would also create goodwill among uninformed viewers.
Such a brilliant strategy!

Why hadn't they thought of such an excellent answer initially?
But when Yao Bianliang heard this answer, her brows furrowed tightly.
What kind of terrible answer was this?
She had finally been criticized by netizens for ugly photos—a perfect opportunity to cool down. If this Zheng Han operated like this and brought things back from the dead, what would she do?
Enu mа̀ .і̄d̀
That would truly infuriate her.
As for the other candidates' answers, although not as strong as Manager Zheng's, they all had some merit.
Yao Bianliang turned her gaze to the last two job applicants.
By now, Zhou Fei was feeling somewhat resigned.

All the solutions he could think of had already been mentioned by others, and with Manager Zheng's plan preceding his, he couldn't come up with any other strategies.
At this rate, Manager Zheng's recruitment was a foregone conclusion.
Ẃ ê b̊ n̆о̆v́е l Еnǔ m.ã
Zhou Fei knew his competitiveness couldn't match the other's, and he didn't want to work with this person. After some thought, he chose to give up.
"If the artist truly doesn't look good, then no amount of retouching will help. I don't think this needs explanation or heat suppression—just straightforwardly acknowledge it," he said.
The gazes of others subtly changed, looking at Zhou Fei as if he were a fool.
Zhou Fei endured their stares, remaining calm and unmoved.
The last applicant seemed extremely nervous and couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.
Now, seeing that everyone else had finished answering, she met the inquiring gazes of others and panicked: "Is-issue an apology statement?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Everyone: "......"
Were these two here to joke around?
One directly gave up, admitting their artist was ugly;
The other was even more ridiculous, issuing an apology statement—wasn't that just admitting guilt unprompted?
Besides, what was there to apologize to the public for? They couldn't possibly say, "Our artist is too ugly and has polluted your eyes, we're truly sorry!"
Yao Bianliang's eyes brightened as she listened.
Е̃ n̊ ũm̀ à
These two were truly talented! Weren't these exactly the standard answers she'd been dreaming of?
If PR personnel all operated like them, she wouldn't need to put in much effort to easily cool down.

The atmosphere became a bit stiff. Assistant Chen smiled and took over the topic: "Since we're discussing apology statements, let me ask—if an artist has done something wrong and needs to issue an apology statement, how would you write it?"
This was a more familiar topic for everyone.
Some said they should implicitly shift responsibility to others throughout the statement, working hard to whitewash their artist;
Others said the best approach was to retreat in order to advance, issuing an apology statement to appear weak and pitiful, then using marketing accounts and internet trolls to guide public opinion.
Еn̊ u mӓ
Manager Zheng appeared composed and confident. Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, he might not have seen a thousand apology statements, but he'd certainly seen seven or eight hundred. He knew all those techniques by heart.
He spoke eloquently: "First, the initial step should be to apologize for occupying public resources. Second, discuss the facts while avoiding key points and emphasizing minor ones, magnify the role of other factors, and downplay one's own mistakes..."
He listed over a dozen points at length, even citing several examples on the spot, including how to write apology statements for infidelity, smoking in public places, drunk driving, and other behaviors.
Well-reasoned and clearly organized—it was truly a model answer.

The other applicants felt a chill in their hearts.
Manager Zheng was performing too well! He was clearly leaving no room for others.
Е nũm̆ а̃
Yao Bianliang, however, listened with her brows furrowed into a knot.
This Zheng Han was indeed a professional. If she let him handle her marketing and PR, she would never be able to cool down in this lifetime.
With this thought, Yao Bianliang turned her expectant gaze toward Zhou Fei and the other woman.
Compared to Zheng Han, these two appeared worthy of great use, and Yao Bianliang had high expectations for them.
Zhou Fei indeed didn't disappoint her.
He said: "If I were to write this apology statement, I would sincerely admit the mistake, not shift responsibility, not avoid key points, use sincerity to move everyone, and express that I would make changes in actual actions."

The woman, Xia Yin, hesitated for a moment and murmured softly: "I... I have the same thoughts as him."
The curve of Yao Bianliang's lips became increasingly pronounced.
Excellent, these two were like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong!
This young man Zhou Fei was a graduate of a prestigious university and seemed like a dangerous character, but unexpectedly performed exceptionally well.
As for this woman Xia Yin, she truly lived up to her reputation of having caused three companies to go under. With this level of competence, how reassuring!
The subsequent questions further confirmed Yao Bianliang's thoughts.
Е̃n ûm̃ ӑ
Manager Zheng spoke animatedly, eloquently outperforming all other applicants.
Zhou Fei and Xia Yin performed with absolutely no highlights, as if they were just there to make up numbers.

Yao Bianliang observed everyone's performance, quietly taking notes.
She already had a clear idea of whom to recruit into the studio.

Finally, twenty minutes later, the interview ended.
Е̊ nǔ m а. i̊ d̆
Assistant Chen stood up and displayed a professional smile to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait in the rest area for a moment. We will notify you of the final interview results in ten minutes."
Female assistant Yan Xiaoli had already poured water for everyone, placing it on the coffee table in the rest area. Everyone came to sit on the sofa.
Returning to the same waiting place as before, many people's moods were completely different.
Except for Manager Zheng, who wore a composed smile as if everything was under control, the others couldn't help feeling anxious.

The outcome of this interview was truly uncertain!
