Chapter 9. Offers
"Recruit him? You want to recruit him."
"Yeah, he's too good to let go."
"He is good at acting, right."
Chu Min smiled cheekily as he said that and Jiang Wan nodded and said.
"Good! He is more than good and he is only 20 years old. He can be the next top star."
Jiang Wan evaluation of Ren was very high. He was not only impressed by his acting but also his fighting scenes.
He really felt that he could become a big star and he wanted to be the one to uncover him.
The reason he was asking a favour from Chu Min was because he knew they were good friends. If Chu Min asked Ren, he was sure that Ren will not reject him.
"But why do I help you?"
Chu Min smiled as he said that and Jiang Wan expression became unsightly after hearing it.
"What happened? Can't you help me for once."
"I don't know if you remember but I had told you to recruit Ren several times but you didn't listened to me."
Jiang Wan didn't have anything to retort at that sentence. It was true that Chu Min had given him Ren's profile and asked him to recruit him but he had rejected that idea back then.
The reason was because there were tons of profiles like Ren. There are more than 200 million celebrities aspirants in the country and Ren profile was common.
There was no redeeming feature in it. He was too common. He had seen tons of trainee profiles like his.
At that time, he didn't knew that his acting was this good. If he had known, he would have never rejected him.
"It was my fault back then. I didn't knew about his acting previously but now, I really want to recruit him. Can't you help me?"
Jiang Wan said as he pleaded to Chu Min.
"Well, I can help you but will the company agree to this. We are pretty strict about recruiting, right."
Chu Min was only acting cheekily. He also wanted Ren to join his company but he was a bit worried about his company.
"You don't have to worry about that. Look at this."
Jiang Wan said as he showed his phone to Chu Min. There was a video playing on the phone. It was the video of Ren's earlier scenes.
Jiang Wan had secretly shoot this video while Ren was giving his scenes.
"You should have asked the director for a file. Why did you took a video with your phone. You can get in trouble for that."
Chu Min was saying that because there can be trouble it the video got leaked but Jiang Wan just shook his head and said.
"Don't worry about that. I have already sent this video to the team leader and they are pretty optimistic about him."
"Does that mean you are going to recruit him."
"We can't do that suddenly. We have to first do a interview. You know, the CEO is pretty strict about these things. We can't recruit anyone without a interview."
Chu Min had a bitter smile hearing that. He himself knew how strict their CEO was. She was a cunning and foxy career woman who had a imposing nature.
As they were talking among themselves, they heard someone coming towards them.
It was a man who looked in his 40s. He had slight grey hair and a imposing figure.
Both Chu Min and Jiang Wan knew who the man was, he was one of the most senior managers in the industry.
His name was Zhang Yufeng, he worked for one of the top three entertainment agencies, RG entertainment.
Zhang Yufeng was talking on the phone while coming towards them. The conversation of the topic shocked Jiang Wan.
"I don't know what the company think of it. I want to recruit him. I have just seen his acting and it is very good. His looks are also good. I feel that he can become a big star. I don't care what you think of it, just prepare a contact for now."
Jiang Wan was startled by the conversation and he decided to eavesdrop on it.
-I saw the video and I know he is good but contracting him so suddenly. Can't we have a interview first.
The other side of the phone sounded somewhat annoyed but Zhang Yufeng continued in a angry voice.
"We don't have much time for the interview. I fear that if delay anymore, someone else is going to recruit him. I don't know what think of it but I will surely resign if the company didn't recruit him."
Zhang Yufeng ended the phone with that.
"Manager Zhang is really a senior in the industry. He really had a discerning eye. He is even willing to give up on his job for an actor."
Chu Min said in a exaggerated tone to entice Jiang Wan and he was indeed enticed after hearing that.
He started to worry after hearing Zhang Yufeng words. Jiang Wan thoughts were filled with anxiety.
If he compared his agency and Zhang Yufeng agency, the later agency was definitely better. He had no way to fight against them.
Not only they have better resources and connections, they also have many top stars. The nation's top idol group «Seven stars» are also from RG entertainment.
If someone had to choose between their agencies, he will definitely choose RG entertainment.
Jiang Wan was feeling anxiety over this matter. He feared that if Ren got the offer from RG, then he will surely sign with them.
For a rookie actor, signing with RG entertainment was the greatest honour.
At that rate, he will surely loss an actor he wanted to work with. He can only hurry to contract Ren first.
"Chu Min, please distract Ren for sometime and don't let Zhang Yufeng get close to him. I will be back in sometime."
Jiang Wan hurriedly said towards Chu Min as he started to run to the parking lot.
"Where are you going so suddenly?"
"I am going to convince the 'Witch' about the contract. I will give my everything and try to convince her."
Jiang Wan said as he was running. After sometime, Chu Min wasn't able to see his figure.
"He is running pretty fast."
Chu Min muttered as he thought of his running figure. Jiang Wan was short and chubby, so he can't run very fast but today, he was running like his life was on the line.
Chu Min felt that he really wanted to recruit Ren and it was a good thing but he was worried because of the 'Witch'.
Witch was the nickname the company employees had given to their CEO. It was because of her foxy nature and imposing manner that she had gotten this nickname.
Chu Min knew that the CEO was really hard to convince. If Jiang Wan really wanted to convince her, then he have to work really hard.
Either way, Chu Min was happy for his friend. He had two managers trying to recruit him and there was also Director Zhu who had said that he will introduce some agencies to him.
It looks like his friend life is going to change. He was happy that it was happening.
Chu Min glanced at the sky. There were no clouds in the air and the sun was shining on the sky.
It was a day where even enemies made a truce and enjoy the day together.
