This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

Chapter 100

[9:20 AM, at the entrance of Random Entertainment building]

[The first intern arrives...]

In early March, the temperature was still low, barely reaching 25 degrees Celsius at noon, with the slightest breeze making people shiver at other times.

Ling Cheng wore a new outfit, with an expensive designer bag she had splurged on slung over her shoulder. Following yesterday's instructions, she took the subway to the Random Entertainment building entrance. As she got closer, her heart raced faster, feeling as if the microphone on her collar could pick up her heartbeat.

She had passed by the Random Entertainment building many times, usually when visiting the Galaxy building and venues nearby, but this was her first time approaching it.

Arriving at the small square in front of the building, Ling Cheng's legs began to tremble uncontrollably. She gripped her bag strap and approached the glass doors, which opened automatically before she even got close.

"Wow..."

The doors were synced with the app on her phone, which they had logged into last night and entered their information. Although she knew about this in advance, Ling Cheng still found it impressive.

Arriving just after 9:20, Ling Cheng was quite early. Random Entertainment started serving breakfast at 9:30 and work began at 10:00. Following last night's instructions, she took the elevator to the fifth floor and found meeting room A1 in the lounge area, where she sat down to wait.

"The mysterious veil of Random Entertainment is finally lifted!!!"

"It's a minimalist style, with hardly any extra colors along the way."

"Who can relate? I was like this on my first day too, afraid of being late, so I arrived half an hour early."

"The cafeteria! Go to the cafeteria! I'm curious about what Random Entertainment eats!!!"

In just a short while, two more interns arrived. Ling Cheng, being socially anxious, nervously curled her toes inside her shoes as she awkwardly exchanged names and engaged in small talk with the other two.

"I think I hear something outside... Should we go check out the cafeteria?" someone suggested.

"Sure, I came this early specifically to try Random Entertainment's cafeteria," one of the girls said as she stood up, adjusting her bag on the chair.

The three of them headed to the cafeteria together. As they turned the corner from the lounge area, they saw—

"Whoa—"

Ling Cheng covered her mouth and took a big step back, while the other two girls' eyes widened.

"Who is that?"

"Could it be my wife?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah Jiang Juyou!"

The scene shifted to show Pei Luming with platinum blonde hair, wearing a hoodie and sleepily holding a food tray. Seeing figures appear before him, he instinctively bowed and greeted them, "Hello..."

After he spoke, Gao Xiayu and the others also entered. Perhaps not expecting anyone in the cafeteria at this hour, they looked slightly surprised but then politely greeted the interns, "Hello."

All five of them were bare-faced, wearing hoodies with caps on their heads. But they exuded a star-like aura that was unmistakable, even in casual attire.

The camera lingered on Ling Cheng, whose hand trembled as she covered her mouth, her legs feeling weak. But to avoid disturbing them, Ling Cheng forced herself to look away and headed to the food counter to get a tray.

After getting their breakfast, they deliberately chose seats far from the celebrities, sitting diagonally across from them. They whispered among themselves while eating, careful not to look in that direction.

"This is my first time seeing celebrities in person..."

"They're so tall."

"Don't look, don't look, don't look, we shouldn't disturb them."

The three girls showed great restraint, nearly burying their heads in their trays.

It was already 9:30, and the other three interns hadn't arrived yet. They probably wouldn't show up until close to 10:00. With breakfast just starting, there were hardly any other diners; only they occupied the cafeteria.

After a while, the three girls wanted to get more food but were hesitant to stand up. They started whispering among themselves.

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking approached from outside. The five celebrities reacted first, with Gao Xiayu putting down his chopsticks and standing up, followed by the other four who also stopped eating and stood.

Everyone thought the five were finished eating and about to leave, but the next second they saw them bow towards the door, saying, "Director Jiang!"

Jiang Juyou wore a form-fitting black suit that accentuated her waist, with slightly flared trousers and suede high heels. After entering, she nodded slightly, then raised her hand to clip back her loose hair.

The entire sequence of movements was swift and decisive, even her nod looked incredibly cool.

The three young girls widened their eyes again, excitedly huddling together and exchanging glances, unsure whether to stand up or not.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah wife!"

"She's going to make me faint from her coolness, help! Falling in love with Jiang Juyou is my destiny!"

"Why dress so stylishly for a Monday morning meeting? It's not fair that I can't see it!"

After fixing her hair, Jiang Juyou took off her jacket and placed it on the chair back. She then went to the cabinet by the wall to get an apron. After putting it on, she headed to the food counter to get breakfast.

While Jiang Juyou was getting her food, the five celebrities noticeably sped up their eating. Pei Luming's cheeks were so stuffed they looked ready to burst, yet he kept shoveling food into his mouth.

"How can they still be so afraid of her after working with Director Jiang for so long?"

"If you don't know how scary Director Jiang can be, I suggest rewatching episode 21."

"Poor things, we fans probably didn't even get to eat our fill before having to leave."

As Jiang Juyou walked towards the dining area with her tray, the five celebrities uniformly stood up with their trays, ready to leave. Seeing them about to go, Jiang Juyou reminded them, "Don't dance right after eating, okay? Aren't you starting school soon? Spend more time studying, don't make headlines with poor grades and embarrass the company."

"Yes, understood," they replied while retreating towards the exit, clearly not wanting to stay a second longer.

Pei Luming didn't seem as afraid of Director Jiang, but at the moment he resembled a hamster storing food, his cheeks packed full, unable to speak.

"Did anyone notice Pei Luming sneaking away with two buns?"

"Those three can't decide whether to stand or not, always missing the timing to stand up. It's hilarious!"

"'Poor grades,' haha haha haha!"

It wasn't until Jiang Juyou approached that the three girls found the right moment to stand up. Just as they were about to greet her like the five celebrities had done, Jiang Juyou spoke first.

"Have you finished eating?" she asked as she carried her tray towards them.

Ling Cheng and the others quickly waved their hands, "Ah, no, no, no!"

To their surprise, Jiang Juyou smiled with relief, "That's good. I was going to sit with you all to eat. When I saw you standing up, I thought you might be finished."

With that, they all sat back down together.

Noticing their empty plates, Jiang Juyou said, "Go get some more. Once everyone else arrives, there won't be much left."

As she spoke, they heard sounds coming from the elevator area, as if many people had just exited.

Jiang Juyou quickly urged them, "Hurry, hurry! The hungry horde is about to arrive!"

Just as she finished speaking, seven or eight people entered. Jiang Juyou waved at the newcomers, "Over here!"

Seeing this, the three girls quickly got up to get more breakfast.

At the same time, the other three interns arrived, led by Liu Jiajia.

Earlier, Liu Jiajia had encountered the three newcomers wearing green badges downstairs and realized they were the new hires. Worried they might get lost, she accompanied them to the cafeteria.

Liu Jiajia was still carrying her bag. She came over to put it next to Jiang Juyou, "Watch my bag for me... What's good for breakfast today?"

"Soy milk and fried dough sticks are the perfect combo," Jiang Juyou said as she picked up her chopsticks and dipped a fried dough stick into her soy milk.

"Don't you get tired of having soy milk and fried dough sticks every day?"

"I don't have it every day. I didn't have it at all last week."

The three latecomers first went to the meeting room to put down their things before heading to the food counter for breakfast. The six interns identified each other by their green employee badges and exchanged greetings while getting food.

When they returned with their trays, the long table was already occupied by many people, but—other employees were sitting far away from their table.

"This is killing me, hahahahaha!"

"Chief Producer and CEO Jiang Juyou, New Talent Department Head Liu Jiajia who manages all trainees, Producer Yang Siyu responsible for member selection and album direction, Visual Art Director Zhao Xu in charge of album and stage aesthetics, and A&R Department Head Li Yao responsible for album planning and stage design - Jiang Juyou brought a whole bunch of high-level executives."

"What you're currently viewing is the famous painting 'The Last Breakfast'"

"Other employees would rather stay a mile away from this table, hahaha!"

Fortunately, Jiang Juyou didn't specifically cue them to speak, allowing them to enjoy a breakfast that wouldn't cause indigestion. However, their luck ran out after breakfast.

Every Monday morning at Random Entertainment was time for the big meeting, where they would review the previous week's performance, assign tasks for the current week, and plan for the following week.

The six rookies hadn't even introduced themselves to each other before joining Random Entertainment's Monday meeting.

After the hour-long meeting, the six of them were constantly alternating between shock and understanding. While the meeting contents couldn't be disclosed, their reactions were visible.

One moment their jaws would drop in surprise, the next they'd be itching to applaud in admiration, leaving the audience in the danmu anxious to know more.

Finally, it was time for the formal segment. After the other employees dispersed, the six remained in the conference room with Jiang Juyou. They introduced themselves to each other, and Jiang Juyou also jokingly introduced herself.

As the jokes subsided, the conversation shifted to more serious matters.

"Your first week's task isn't heavy. You'll rotate through various departments, and after a week, choose the department where you want to intern. Whether you can stay or not will depend on your supervisors' opinions... It's possible that all six of you might get job offers, or none of you might succeed."

"And today, your job is to be my entourage and choose your first department for internship."

Jiang Juyou said as she rolled up her sleeve and glanced at her watch, "Let's go, first task - monthly evaluation of female trainees."

"Ahhhh female trainees!!! Finally, they're coming!"

"Didn't they say the five members of Timetrain would participate in the recording too? It can't be just those few seconds from this morning, right?"

"I heard that Pei Luming's sister is among the female trainees, I'm so curious!"

"Attention! Attention! The great producer Jiang is about to appear! Those with fragile hearts, please protect your emotions!"

Before leaving, Jiang Juyou suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right! You have five more colleagues!"
