You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 136: The 136th day of being popular



Actually, it's not their fault that their performance in the interview could have been better.

These questions tested their professional level too much. Most people's previous role was to follow instructions from above and directly execute them. They rarely needed to come up with their solutions.

The content of this exam has far exceeded their abilities.

Especially Xia Yin, the girl with short hair. At this moment, her lips are tightly pursed, and her fingers are intertwined.

She was extremely nervous during the interview. After a joke occurred with the first question, her mindset completely collapsed, and she was in a daze for the rest of the process.

She definitely has no chance this time, right?

Xia Yin hangs her head in disappointment, her complexion slightly pale.

Compared to her, Zhou Fei, although not in high spirits, accepts this reality.

He wants to avoid joining this company with Manager Zheng present. He might as well go with the flow.

With this thought in mind, as he raises his head, he sees Manager Zheng sitting on the sofa, calm with a hint of satisfaction, as if he already has complete control over this studio.

Perhaps sensing Zhou Fei's gaze, Manager Zheng raises an eyebrow and calmlyAnnoyingck at him.

Zhou Fei: "..."

How annoying. Can he leave now?

However, Zhou Fei had a chance to take action after looking around.

Although he definitely has no chance, the interview results have yet to be announced. It would be impolite to leave like this.

He sighs and can only lower his head to play with his phone.

Forget it. Let's wait a little longer.

With a soft click, the office door is gently pushed open, and Assistant Chen walks in with a stack of documents.

All eyes turn towards him, and Manager Zheng maintains his calm composure.

In this short half-minute, Manager Zheng has already planned how to calmly stand up and shake hands with Assistant Chen when he calls his name, expressing that he will work hard in the future.

Of course, this kind of small studio can't be compared to a big company.

Once he becomes familiar with it after a period of time, he should be able to gain influence in this studio quickly.

Manager Zheng thought this way, and Assistant Chen's voice slowly sounded, "Thank you all for coming to this job application. Zhou Fei, Xia Yin, He Miao, and Wan Sicheng, please come to the conference room over there. Let's discuss the onboarding-related matters."

"As for the rest of you, our reception has prepared some small gifts for everyone. You can take them as souvenirs. I wish you all the best in finding your desired jobs."

Manager Zheng: "..."

Wait, something's not right. Where is his name?

Did this interviewer forget his name?

When several people are called by name, they all stand up with surprised expressions, glance at each other, and see the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Among them, Zhou Fei is the most confused.

What's going on? He has already given up. He didn't answer a single question correctly during the interview.

And now the interviewer tells him that he's been accepted.

It's absurd!

After the initial shock, Manager Zheng finally regains his composure and his face becomes extremely unsightly.

He looks at the calm Assistant Chen, then at the job applicants with surprised expressions, feeling a difficult-to-express sense of frustration and anger.

Is this interviewer blind?

He was clearly the best performer among this group of people, while those who were accepted were the worst.

Moreover, with his qualifications and level, in a small studio like this, they should be begging him to stay. How dare they reject him?

Especially when Manager Zheng saw Zhou Fei's stunned expression, he couldn't hold his composure anymore.

His mind was chaotic: "Assistant Chen, did you make a mistake somewhere? Did you inform your celebrity at home about the interview?"

Manager Zheng even suspected that Assistant Chen was worried that his employment would threaten his position, so he refused to hire him.

This kind of acceptance result is simply unfair!

Assistant Chen smiled professionally: "Mr. Zheng, you might have misunderstood. She personally decided for this acceptance result."

Manager Zheng: "..."

Manager Zheng glanced at the chat records shown to him by Assistant Chen, feeling somewhat skeptical.

Assistant Chen continued, "Mr. Zheng, perhaps you didn't notice the recruitment requirements of our studio? We hope to have sincere, friendly employees who are not bound by the hidden rules of the entertainment industry, preferably with minimal work experience."

And obviously, Manager Zheng doesn't meet these requirements.

Manager Zheng fell into silence.

So there are such recruitment rules?

Is the star of this studio's brain filled with holes?

Recruiting people to join the team based on such standards, are they afraid of not being unpopular enough?

The other job applicants have already stood up one after another, ready to go to the reception to collect the small gifts and leave.

However, when they saw Manager Zheng's uncontrollable expression, they all coincidentally slowed down their movements and glanced in this direction.

Watching the show always brings joy.

This Mr. Zheng, who has always been in the limelight and pretending to be someone, didn't expect him to become enraged after not being accepted.

"So, that esteemed company has such standards for recruiting employees. That's truly unique," Manager Zheng said with a wry smile, a fire burning in his heart, feeling neither up nor down.

Indeed, he looked down on this small studio, but his unwillingness to join is one thing, and the studio rejecting his application is another.

He wanted to walk away but felt uneasy about leaving like that.

He wanted to kick this brash youth out, especially when he saw the curve of Zhou Fei's lifted corner of the mouth.

After pondering for a moment, Manager Zheng walked up to Assistant Chen, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Since you have already made a decision, I won't say much more. However, as Zhou Fei's former colleague, I think it's necessary for me to remind your esteemed company of something."

Assistant Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh?"

Manager Zheng sighed heavily, "Zhou Fei used to work at Ansheng Entertainment, but he resigned voluntarily because he refused to help whitewash the artists."

He paused and looked at Assistant Chen, meaningfully saying, "Moreover, after he resigned, he spread negative information about the artists. If you investigate with diligence, you should easily find verification."

Zhou Fei's initially relaxed expression slowly disappeared, and his lips tightened.

He never expected Manager Zheng to bring up this matter directly!

"Should we still cover up for that kind of artis?" Zhou Fei exclaimed in frustration.

Manager Zheng raised an eyebrow, secretly mocking Zhou Fei's naivety.

This statement was akin to indirectly admitting his own disclosure.

"Zhou, this is where you went wrong. You can't casually make claims without evidence. Besides, those of us in this industry should have at least some professional ethics, such as protecting the privacy of artists and refraining from spreading rumors without cause. That's the most basic thing," Manager Zheng said.

Zhou Fei: "..."

Damn, how can there be such shameless people!
