The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 27: You're meddling too much, assistant.

Security check and boarding.

Shen Jian followed Liang Mu onto the plane.

To his surprise, he even bought himself a first-class ticket.

Normally, a newcomer like him wouldn't receive such good treatment.

Because these kinds of announcements don't pay, you have to pay for your own airfare, food, and accommodation. It's already a good thing if you can go on a business trip at public expense.

But Yang Tianzhen still made Lin Youyou buy him a first-class ticket.

I have to say, that's really generous.

Looking back on those days, it seems that she was always strict on the surface, but she never made a mistake in private.

Shen Jian was deeply moved.

He felt that as someone who was wholeheartedly devoted to entertainment, he had to do something for this seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted Director Yang.

Rewards.

You absolutely have to pay back!

Shen Jian took out his phone and tagged Yang Tianzhen in the group chat.

[Shen Jian @ Yang Tianzhen:]

(づ′▽`)づ hug~]

[Lin Youyou: ? ? ? ]

[Semir: ?]

[Ryogi:...]

[Yang Tianzhen @ Shen Jian: What's wrong? Did you have a seizure as soon as you got on the plane?]

[Shen Jian: To repay you!]

[Yang Tianzhen: Thank you... Just take care of yourself.]

[Shen Jian: I know what to do. Leave everything to me this time. Also, I'll take care of Sister Chun.]

[Yang Tianzhen: !!!]

[Shen Jian: Don't worry, Sister Yang.]

[Yang Tianzhen @ Shen Jian: I'm telling you! You wait a minute, she doesn't need you!]

[Shen Jian: Sister Yang, don't be shy. You've done so much for me, it's just what I should do.]

[Yang Tianzhen: Are you deaf? I said no!]

[Shen Jian: (乛◡乛) Shy]

[Yang Tianzhen: Be serious!]

[Shen Jian @ Yang Tianzhen: Look at you, you're in such a hurry again.]

[Yang Tianzhen: Shen Jian, I'll say it again, you better mind your own business!]

[Shen Jian: Alright, alright, let's take off.]

[Yang Tianzhen: @Shen Jian! Shen Jian!]

[Liangmu: His phone is off.]

[Yang Tianzhen: ……]

He repaid Yang Tianzhen.

Shen Jian then felt relieved and turned off the phone, preparing for takeoff.

Ryoki, who was standing to the side, was about to say something.

But I was interrupted by the voices from the back row.

"Good wood, see you."

The two turned around at the sound and saw a figure wearing a baseball cap and a mask.

"Sister Chun!" Shen Jian greeted her.

"Hey, keep your voice down."

The woman sitting next to Ma Sichun spoke first to stop Shen Jian.

Ma Sichun gently removed her mask and smiled reassuringly to the person next to her, "It's okay, Sister Zhou. There aren't many people in first class, just a few of us."

After saying that, she introduced, "This is my studio manager, Sister Zhou."

Many A-list celebrities open their own studios after reaching a certain stage in their careers.

Of course, this excludes those who start their own businesses after their contracts expire.

The real purpose is to legally avoid certain taxes.

As film salaries and endorsement fees increase, the proportion of personal income will also increase.

Therefore, most celebrities receive these benefits through studios or by registering companies under their own names.

This is much more than what an individual could obtain.

Sister Zhou glanced at Shen Jian: "This is that internet celebrity, the artist that President Yang just signed."

Ryoki seemed to recognize her, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's right."

"It's not easy for a good manager to mentor newcomers, but the male artist is still an internet celebrity, and he seems quite cheerful."

Liangmu's eyes flickered slightly.

As a veteran in the workplace, he naturally understood the unspoken meaning behind Sister Zhou's words.

In this circle, saying someone is cheerful isn't a compliment.

This is clearly a reminder that Shen should avoid excessive contact with Ma Sichun, a newcomer, to prevent it from affecting them.

Liang Mu chuckled but didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Ma Sichun and said, "Sichun, Assistant Zhou is still taking such good care of you."

"That's right, Sister Zhou is so kind." Ma Sichun nodded casually, as if she hadn't understood the implied meaning in their conversation at all.

However, Sister Zhou's expression was not very good at the moment.

From a studio manager, I suddenly became an assistant.

It completely lowers the standard and status.

The slight arrogance I had shown earlier crumbled instantly.

Those in the know in this industry understand that the so-called managers of celebrity studios are actually just the celebrities' own assistants.

Because the studio is just a name in name only.

Her job remains taking care of Ma Sichun's life.

Liangmu is always elegant, but he doesn't like his artists being bossed around by an assistant, even if it's Ma Sichun's assistant.

Sister Zhou responded with an awkward laugh, "Hi, Si Chun is introverted and not very good at socializing. I just put in a little extra effort, it's nothing."

"Is Chun-jie introverted?" Shen Jian looked at Ma Sichun.

Ma Sichun thought for a moment and said, "Well, actually I'm quite introverted."

"What a coincidence, I'm introverted too."

"you?"

Shen Jian nodded, looking serious: "Yes, I'm quite introverted too. This morning when I went to the supermarket to buy drinks, I was afraid of bothering the cashier, so I secretly slipped away from the back."

Ryogi: "..."

Sister Zhou: "..."

Ma Sichun: "Pfft, hahaha, oh my, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day, you're so funny."

[One more hilarious joke]

[Public speaking performance +1]

Shen Jian: "Of course, I already told Sister Chun last time that I would tell her jokes."

Ma Sichun became happy: "Okay, okay, you're definitely a good little brother. Tell me a few more, they're really funny."

Shen Jian looked at Sister Zhou: "How about I switch seats with your assistant?"

Sister Zhou: "...!"

The casual use of the word "assistant" dealt another blow to Sister Zhou.

She was about to refuse.

Ma Sichun readily agreed: "Sure, Sister Zhou, you can switch with your brother."

Sister Zhou: "Si Chun, isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if they see us..."

Ma Sichun straightened her back: "So what if I saw him? I'm in the same company as him, and we're going on the same show. Can't I have a younger brother or a good friend?"

Sister Zhou was speechless after being told that.

With a helpless expression, he got up and switched seats with Shen Jian.

After sitting down, I was thinking of having a good talk with Yoshiki.

As a newcomer, and a social media influencer criticized for being illiterate, let's not let her get too close to Ma Sichun.

The two are of vastly different status.

Then I turned my head and looked.

Liangmu put on an eye mask and went straight to sleep.

Sister Zhou took a deep breath, tilted her head to the side, and prepared to eavesdrop and monitor.

There's nothing I can do; after all, my boss, Mr. Ma, is a hopeless romantic, and he's only recently recovered from the anxiety of his previous relationship.

Of course, she didn't think Shen Jian and Ma Sichun would have anything going on.

But after all, he's just a young kid who doesn't understand the entertainment industry and speaks without thinking.

If I say something I shouldn't, unintentionally, it might affect Ma Sichun's mood. She's finally stopped taking the medication, and now she might have to start again.

"Sister Chun, what kind of jokes do you usually listen to?"

"I'll listen to anything, anything goes." Ma Sichun laughed and pointed to the top of his head: "Your hair...why is it so messy?"

Shen Jian touched it: "Oh, I got it done at the hair salon across from the hotel, but I ran away halfway through, it was too scary."

"What's wrong?"

"A wash, cut and blow-dry, and they actually charged me 398!"

I asked at the time, "Why is it so expensive?"

The shop assistant explained that a wash costs 28 yuan and a haircut costs 70 yuan.

Then I asked again, "Who's blowing the whistle?"

Then a guy came up to me and said he'd give me a blowjob.

I just dumped everything and ran away.

Ma Sichun: "Tch~, you've already started... Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, I didn't even realize it."

[One more hilarious joke]

Sister Zhou: "???"

what does it mean?
