Chapter 47 Colleagues?
Chapter 47 Colleagues?
They ate, chatted, and exchanged contact information. After sitting for a while, Chen Jiang safely brought the person back to the filming location.
After waiting a while, everyone who had been having dinner returned.
The manager, Kotone Takada, rushed to Asakusa Masai almost non-stop, checking her over and over and asking her questions, afraid that something might have gone wrong.
However, Asakusa Maai naturally wouldn't answer like that. She didn't even mention that she went out. She only said that Chen Jiang bought her some food, and that she ate it there.
Although Kotone Takada was filled with resentment and wanted to cause trouble, she had been given a lot of drinks at the party and hadn't noticed anything amiss, so she had to give up.
Chen Jiang then approached Xu Ruirui and Zhang Jie. Neither of them had been drinking, and upon seeing him arrive, they immediately asked him with ill intent:
"How's it going, Jiang Zi? How's the progress?"
"How's the progress...?"
Chen Jiang was utterly speechless. How could this couple be getting more and more indecent? "What progress could there be? You've all left, leaving just the two of us. My true love was a little hungry, so I just took her out for a meal..."
"Oh my gosh~~ You're calling it true love now... You didn't even consider that foreign guy your true love, and you still say there's no progress?" Zhang Jie teased Chen Jiang as he walked up to him.
Chen Jiang elbowed him, pushing him away.
"Get lost! Her name is True Love!"
"Besides, they're going back in the next few days, what nonsense am I talking about?"
Xu Ruirui also laughed:
"It's okay, Jiang Zi. If you like her, I'll find her a few more jobs. If there's money to be made, why would she refuse?"
Chen Jiang shook his head:
"Let's forget about it then, there are plenty of girls out there..."
"That's right, this is your true mindset as a rich person!" Zhang Jie patted Chen Jiang on the shoulder and praised him.
Then he received a fixed gaze from Xu Ruirui, which immediately brought him back to reality. He quickly added, "Of course, being faithful is a virtue, just like me..."
"You'd better do that!"
Xu Ruirui glared at him, then looked at Chen Jiang:
"By the way, Jiang Zi, after this shoot, I'm planning to upgrade the company's business. In addition to professional models, we'll start taking on some part-time model jobs. What do you think?"
"Part-time model?"
"Yes!" Xu Ruirui nodded: "I was not very willing to get involved in this before, mainly because professional models are easier to manage, more convenient to use, and more expensive."
"But recently I've noticed that the market for part-time models seems to be growing. Although there are still a lot of troubles and problems, if you can earn a lot, it's worth a try."
"You can make the decisions about how this company develops, sister-in-law." Chen Jiang nodded gently. He didn't know much about these things, but Xu Ruirui was a professional in this area, and he trusted her.
However, when the topic turned to the company's development direction, he suddenly recalled an idea he had previously had:
"By the way, sister-in-law, speaking of the company's development direction... do you think cultivating internet celebrities is a viable path for growth?"
"Cultivating internet celebrities?"
Xu Ruirui frowned: "You mean those live-streaming internet celebrities?"
"Not really..." Chen Jiang shook his head, then simply took out his phone, opened the Douyin platform and showed it to her: "Look, this is a platform I've been looking at recently. It's similar to Kuaishou, but I feel that it surpasses Kuaishou in terms of user experience and fashion sense. There are many beautiful female bloggers on it, and as long as the quality is decent, they can gain followers very quickly."
Do you think our company could do this kind of business?
"After all, compared to these amateurs, our company can definitely create professional, large-scale accounts featuring beautiful women."
Xu Ruirui was actually hearing about the DY platform for the first time and was pondering it.
Zhang Jie leaned closer and glanced at the screen on Chen Jiang's phone:
"You're following this short video platform too?"
Chen Jiang looked at him and asked with a smile:
"What, you're following Brother Jie too?"
Zhang Jie nodded:
"Yeah, I knew about this platform when it was in beta testing, but it seems to be quite popular recently. The young guys in my studio are always on their phones, constantly scrolling through it."
"After I downloaded it, the experience was quite good, and there are more beautiful women on this platform than on Kuaishou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jie regretted it. Sure enough, the next second Xu Ruirui's voice rang out beside him. He turned around and saw her looking at him with an annoyed expression.
"There are lots of beautiful women, right?"
"Um... they're all just so-so."
Zhang Jie immediately chickened out and turned to leave.
"That bastard."
Xu Ruirui cursed at him, then turned to Chen Jiang and said seriously:
"Okay, Jiangzi, I'll download one and take a look in a bit, then go back and investigate... If it's feasible, these days influencer accounts definitely earn more money than some part-time modeling jobs."
"Sister-in-law, you know this is fine. Actually, it was just a sudden idea that came to me."
Chen Jiang smiled, not taking it too seriously.
This was indeed a sudden idea that popped into his head, but he didn't know whether it would work or if there was any chance of it happening.
In short, he had expressed his thoughts, and it was up to Xu Ruirui to decide whether to give it a try.
"Don't worry, if the opportunity arises, your sister-in-law won't let it pass!"
Xu Ruirui wasn't joking; she was seriously considering Chen Jiang's suggestion.
Besides feeling that the new profession of internet celebrity was particularly popular, she also had a vague feeling that Chen Jiang was a person with a bit of luck.
Although Zhang Jie had told him about Chen Jiang's rather unlucky past, things have been completely different since he won the lottery after his divorce. So, the suggestion he made at this time might actually work!
However, this idea was somewhat superstitious, so Xu Ruirui didn't tell anyone; she just made the decision silently in her heart.
Chen Jiang, however, found the serious atmosphere somewhat unbearable.
"Alright, sister-in-law, I was just saying it casually, no need to be so serious."
Xu Ruirui also laughed:
"It's okay, just wait for my message."
Chen Jiang nodded, then stood up, glanced at the filming location in the distance, where Asakusa Maai was putting on makeup again, preparing to continue filming: "By the way, this shouldn't be anything for me anymore, right?"
Xu Ruirui thought for a moment:
"There shouldn't be anything else for you. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be filming until five or six o'clock today. If you have something to do, you can go now."
Chen Jiang really didn't have much to do, but he was also a bit bored here. The young models had to be photographed, and he couldn't chat with them, so staying here was just waiting around.
Without much hesitation, they prepared to leave.
"Then I'll be going now, sister-in-law, please tell Brother Jie."
"It's okay, you can go on your way."
Having received a reply, Chen Jiang glanced one last time at the busy Asakusa Masami, then turned and left the filming location.
After coming out, I was wondering whether to go home or do something else, but when I looked up, I saw two women standing next to my car, and there was another car that hadn't been backed into the parking space, right next to my Aston Martin.
Chen Jiang immediately jumped up and quickly ran over, but before he even reached his car, one of the two figures suddenly pointed at him and exclaimed in surprise:
"Chen Jiang?"
Chen Jiang was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. A familiar face immediately appeared before him. Standing next to his car was none other than a female colleague he had a good relationship with at his previous company.
"Da Bao, what are you doing here?"
