Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Interview



He set down his phone.

Qiu Yong explained the situation to Wan Miao and then said, "You contact Xu Yang. Tell him we'll go sign the contract with them tomorrow, and schedule a specific time."

Wan Miao was overjoyed, "Okay."

Immediately, he gossiped, "What did President Ma say about Wu Chengtao?"

Qiu Yong laughed, "He called him an idiot. That guy is definitely finished. I bet President Ma is on the phone with Li Ming from Tencent Pictures right now, telling him to take care of that guy."

Qiu Yong's guess was correct.

That's exactly what President Ma did.

At this moment in the General Manager's office at Tencent Pictures, General Manager Li Ming received a call from President Ma.

As soon as he picked up the phone, he was met with a fierce scolding from President Ma.

Amidst the scolding, Li Ming figured out the situation.

After hanging up, he went to Wu Chengtao's office.

He cursed out Wu Chengtao and demanded him to get lost today!

Wu Chengtao never imagined that a single action of his would cost him his job.

What's more fatal was, after this incident, it was definitely going to be very difficult for him to find such a good job in the industry again.

He also didn't expect that Xu Yang had such influence, to actually make the conglomerate bow down.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.

He could only complete the resignation procedures and leave dejectedly.

He also, from then on, bore a grudge against Xu Yang.

Unaware of being resented by Wu Chengtao, Xu Yang at this moment arrived at a medicinal cuisine restaurant to dine with Wang Xiaocong and the others.

The medicinal cuisine restaurant was chosen by Jiang Yuheng, who had not been able to forget the experience since last time he ate it with Wang Xiaocong in the capital. He had been looking for a medicinal cuisine restaurant in Jiangcheng and found this one to be quite good, having come here several times recently.

When Xu Yang arrived, the three were already there.

"Haha, Xu Yang, come on, have a seat, you're our God of Wealth," Wang Xiaocong laughed heartily.

Xu Yang took his seat.

"Xu Yang, I really want to thank you for giving us such a money-making opportunity," Jiang Yuheng said earnestly.

"Absolutely, this further proves your unique vision. If there are investment opportunities in the future, you must tell us. We will definitely follow suit," Su Wenbin laughed.

That evening, the group drank quite a bit.

...

The next day.

Xu Yang, Wan Miao, and representatives from Tencent Group met at Jiangcheng Grand Hotel.

Xu Yang, as he wished, obtained seven percent of the shares of Wan Da Film and Television. Together with the three percent share previously given by Jiang Yuheng's father, he now owned a total of ten percent.

Xu Yang also kept his promise and sold the film and television rights to Tencent Video.

This matter was left for Wan Miao and Huang Zhigang to discuss.

He couldn't be bothered with such specifics.

...

Meanwhile.

Zhao Yulu put on a somewhat formal outfit, grabbed her bag, and was ready to head out.

"Yu Lu, where are you planning to go?" Liu Yujuan asked.

"Mom, I'm going to a job interview," Zhao Yulu replied.

After leaving Fengcai Guild, she hadn't looked for a job and was just staying at home every day, occasionally going out to have fun. She was almost wasting away when she began to send out resumes online these past few days.

There was a company that notified her yesterday afternoon, asking her to come in for an interview today.

"Yu Lu, just listen to me. Go find Xu Yang, get back together with him, and you won't need to look for any job," Liu Yujuan advised.

"Even if you want to work, you could go to Fengcai Guild or Haidilao. They definitely have easy positions. Wouldn't that be great?"

Liu Yujuan could relate whatever Zhao Yulu was doing back to urging Zhao Yulu to return to Xu Yang's side.

"Mom, please don't bring this up anymore," Zhao Yulu said, really at a loss for words. Her ears were practically calloused from hearing Liu Yujuan's words.

"If I don't bring it up, when will you..." Liu Yujuan wanted to continue but, seeing Zhao Yulu's displeased expression, quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll stop talking about it. By the way, which company are you interviewing with?"

"A cultural copyright company called Pioneer Culture," Zhao Yulu replied.

"What future is there in a copyright company?" Liu Yujuan frowned.

"Mom, don't underestimate copyright companies. Just yesterday, the National Copyright Administration initiated a special rectification action. Now, the prices for various cultural works' copyrights have risen several tens of times."

"This Pioneer Culture copyright company, they previously spent a billion yuan to buy a large quantity of cultural works' copyrights. Those works' copyrights, once sold, are worth up to a few hundred billion. Tell me, doesn't that have promise?"

"I guess they're recruiting because they're going to sell the copyrights and will need to deal with people from various major video sites, so there will be more work. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a chance for people to find work," Zhao Yulu guessed.

Zhao Yulu was familiar with the situation, unlike Liu Yujuan, who, despite constantly scrolling through Douyin, never really watched any news, just some comedy videos, beauty tutorials, and videos about how women can pursue better lives.

"What, several hundred billion!" Liu Yujuan's eyes widened in shock.

"What did you think? I was drawn to that point as well, which is why I sent in my resume. The company offers quite a good salary package," Zhao Yulu said.

"Even so, if you get in, you'll just be an ordinary employee. It won't be as good as going to Xu Yang... Alright, alright, I'll stop talking. You go on to the interview," Liu Yujuan said.

Liu Yujuan naturally brought the conversation around to Xu Yang again, but seeing Zhao Yulu's face, she didn't continue and just waved her hand instead.

Zhao Yulu didn't say anything more and left for the interview.

Over half an hour later, she arrived at Pioneer Culture.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Yulu. I received a notice from your company yesterday to come in and interview for the position of business specialist," Zhao Yulu said to the receptionist.

"Alright, please follow me," the receptionist led Zhao Yulu to the conference room where interviewees were received.

Along the way, passing through the employee working area, Zhao Yulu overheard the staff of Pioneer Culture discussing.

"It was my first time eating hot pot at Haidilao yesterday. The experience was really great."

"Haidilao is owned by our boss. You hadn't taken the initiative to try it out—are you saying you wouldn't have gone if the company hadn't had the dinner there last night?"

"It's not that I didn't want to go; I just really didn't have the money. I bought a house, and after paying the mortgage every month, there's hardly anything left. But with the 50,000 yuan bonus we got yesterday, I can finally relax a bit and live more comfortably for a while."

"Our boss is really generous. After acquiring our company, he gave us a pay raise. Yesterday, he even handed out such a big bonus."

"For sure, I've decided that as long as the company doesn't fire me, I'll work here for my entire life."

Hearing these discussions, Zhao Yulu couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

"Miss Zhao, what's the matter?" the receptionist asked, puzzled.

"Your boss, is he also the boss of Haidilao?" Zhao Yulu asked, hardly able to believe it.

"Yes, our boss is really good. Recently, our company acquired a lot of cultural works' copyrights, and yesterday he gave us a considerable bonus, one for each of us, equivalent to a year's salary. If you join our company, I believe you definitely won't be disappointed," the receptionist said with a smile.

She had thought that after hearing this, Zhao Yulu would be very happy and looking forward to joining the company.

But Zhao Yulu's reaction left her stunned.

"I'm sorry, I won't be interviewing. Thank you for your time, goodbye," Zhao Yulu said.

With that, she turned around and left.

She hurried away, her figure disappearing from the company.

"What happened? Why did she leave? Did I say something wrong?"

The receptionist looked bewildered, not understanding what had just occurred.
