My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 318 - 263: New Employee Onboard (Three-in-One) _3

Wu Wenyue nodded slightly, "Then send her my WeChat contact, and we’ll meet tomorrow."

From the phone, Xu Manning added, "Give her a hard time during the interview, teach that brat a lesson for being so snarky with us before!"

"I was actually thinking the same, but..."

Wu Wenyue glanced at Li Peifeng and, with a particularly theatrical smile, said, "Will you feel bad if I bully the brat, brother?"

"No, go ahead and bully her as much as you want. She deserves it for being so irreverent and unruly, detestable to both gods and ghosts, infamous all over! In short, your bullying is a righteous act, and it also vents my anger!"

The two girls chuckled, and the matter was settled.

Later, Li Peifeng didn’t go home but stayed in the apartment, having a video call with Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning until they fell asleep at half-past eleven.

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Li Peifeng and Wu Wenyue went to Trinity Studio together to prepare for He Yimeng’s interview.

"You don’t need to come, just go back to write your thesis and novel."

"I’m just here for the fun, I’ll leave once it’s done."

"Are you actually worried that I’d bully her?"

Wu Wenyue looked at him skeptically, but Li Peifeng didn’t answer.

He wasn’t worried that Wu Wenyue would actually take the chance to bully He Yimeng, but rather that He Yimeng would bully Wu Wenyue.

After all, that brat was crafty and had a quick tongue. He vividly remembered a debate competition held at Beihua Teachers’ College where He Yimeng won the title of best debater.

Li Peifeng had reason to suspect that Brother Yue might not outtalk He Yimeng, and if Wu Wenyue got angry and started a fight, it wouldn’t be good. Besides, it would be a bit of a shame if I—the main culprit—didn’t witness the scene...

So he planned to observe the interview and manage the mood.

But the actual situation wasn’t as bad as Mr. Li imagined. He Yimeng arrived on time, and Wu Wenyue didn’t play any hardball games, just asked normal, routine questions.

She asked about He Yimeng’s account positioning, monetization methods, rough development plans, and such.

There wasn’t the anticipated intense confrontation; it seemed Wu Wenyue had let go of any grudges and treated it as a regular interview.

After a considerable discussion, Wu Wenyue was satisfied and directly handed out the contract. He Yimeng carefully reviewed it for a moment, discussed the penalty clauses, the contract duration, and other terms with them, and they finally reached an agreement, signing and sealing the deal.

"Today, He Yimeng, you can start work right away."

Wu Wenyue crossed her arms, "Once everyone is here, I’ll hold a meeting for you to meet all the members. I’ll assign you to a two-person team, and you can start working formally."

Li Peifeng chimed in, "Now with you two and Gu Jinyu, there are three actors, right? Could the backstage staff handle it all?"

"We’re recruiting. Two people will come for interviews at noon, if there’s no problem, I’ll consider hiring one to assist her," Wu Wenyue glanced at him, "Will you review them too?"

Li Peifeng looked at He Yimeng, who was reading through the freshly printed ’Actor’s Notice,’ looking a bit puzzled.

The interview was surprisingly smooth and normal, as if the two girls had forgotten all old grievances. Could it be they separated work from personal matters that well?

Am I underestimating them?

"You handle it yourself, I’m going back to write. Call me if there’s anything."

"Okay."

He Yimeng looked up, "Goodbye."

"Bye-bye."

Li Peifeng waved his hand, turned around, and closed the door as he left the office. However, he didn’t leave immediately but went into the living room.

"Ah Yan."

The living room had been converted into an open office area. Li Peifeng walked over to Tang Yan’s desk and greeted him.

"Eh? Brother Feng, what’s up?"

Tang Yan was editing videos on his computer and looked over at Li Peifeng with a puzzled expression.

"We’ve just recruited a new actor, you saw her just now, right? The contract’s signed."

"I saw! Tang Yan nodded repeatedly, "Quite a looker, will I be the main one filming her later?"

"No, listen to your Sister Yue’s arrangements for specific work," Li Peifeng shook his head, looked around, and lowered his voice, "I have a private matter that requires your help."

Company business isn’t important, the boss’s personal matters are crucial!

"Ah," Tang Yan became serious, "Tell me, Brother Feng!"

Li Peifeng quietly gave instructions, "The new actor is He Yimeng. There were some conflicts between her and your Sister Yue in the past. But considering her potential to become very popular, I introduced her to our studio. Now, as long as I’m present, the two seem to get along well, but I’m worried problems might arise over time. If you ever notice them having disagreements, make sure to notify me immediately!"

Tang Yan understood, "No problem, I get it!"

"Keep it confidential. Observe them both regularly, and if you notice any mutual dislike or other issues, report it to me right away."

"Okay, Brother Feng, you can count on me!"

"This isn’t tattling; it’s for the harmony of the studio!"

"Yes, exactly, Brother Feng, you’re absolutely right!"

Li Peifeng nodded in satisfaction, just as he was about to head home, the office door opened, and Wu Wenyue walked out first, leisurely, smiling when she saw him, "You’re still here?"

"Ah, I was just about to leave."

Li Peifeng instinctively looked towards the door as He Yimeng also walked out, surprisingly with a smile!

"Sister Yue, can we have lunch provided today? I’d like to eat lotus leaf chicken from Cafeteria No.2 at noon, is that okay?"

"Sure, just tell Xiaowang when he arrives, he handles the orders."

"..."

Li Peifeng scratched his itchy head slowly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Brother Feng."

Tang Yan quietly leaned to whisper in his ear, "What did you say earlier? That they have a conflict?"

"It shouldn’t be."

Li Peifeng was equally perplexed.

Tang Yan, feeling a bit jealous, muttered, "Even when I’m commended for my filming work, I only get an extra drumstick for lunch. She just started and asked for lotus leaf chicken, and Sister Yue agreed without hesitation. How come? Could it be the newcomers outshine the old-timers?!"

Li Peifeng ignored him, and while Wu Wenyue was in the restroom, he went to question He Yimeng directly, "How did you do it? Did you really apologize to her?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

He Yimeng restrained her smile, looking calm, "Mind your own business when it comes to girls’ affairs!"

Li Peifeng rubbed his chin, "Did you forget I’m also one of the bosses? Tell the truth!"

"Are you threatening me?" He Yimeng glanced in the direction of the restroom, unfazed, "Unfortunately, I’m not scared, now bug off. Keep your distance from me in the future, so Sister Yue doesn’t misunderstand!"

"Your Sister Yue? That’s my Brother Yue! Tell me, you witch, what magic did you use to win people over?!"

"Back off!"

...

He Yimeng joined the team smoothly and got along well with Wu Wenyue, sparing Li Peifeng any extra worry. Though a bit perplexed, he thought it was better to have peace than trouble, making everything more stable.

After leaving the studio, Mr. Li went straight home, didn’t start writing immediately, but first went to the bathroom, washed his face again, then sat cleanly by the bed in his bedroom, mumbling to himself.

"System, stop hiding, hurry up and let me try the lottery to feel your presence!"

He had just completed the task [Savior of the Penniless Woman] yesterday and gained three lottery opportunities, yet hadn’t used them. Now he was finally ready.

A rainbow-colored roulette spun brilliantly before his eyes.

Li Peifeng looked carefully at each item and description until he saw one item, suddenly rubbing his hands in anticipation, "Oh, I’ve dealt with this wild system for so long, finally a decent reward!!"
