I’m A Cool Salted Fish In The Entertainment Industry

Chapter 1.1 – Unemployed After Graduation

【Xiao Sheng, a Mr. Z, walks while exposing his pecker in public at the new drama press conference. He then apologizes for the disturbance, shifting the blame to his staff members.】

【Famous actress, a Ms. C, almost tripped on the red carpet. Instead she twirled beautifully  before finally falling gracefully, shocking the foreign photographers. Any Kung Fu Masters know her secrets, or is she just a lucky dog?】 

Every day, in entertainment newspapers and magazines, actors and celebrities compete against each other for attention. A never-ending number of tricks emerge daily like an endless stream. Because of such impactful, eye-catching, explosive news, one of those news was squeezed in a corner, hiding.

【Today, the Dream Entertainment and Culture Company’s black-hearted boss Huang He runs away with his sister-in-law】, average news.

However, for a group of employees in the DECC, and for You Qiuqiu, this news was, without a doubt, severely shocking.

Huang He was the CEO of the DECC, and You Qiuqiu is a contracted model for the company.

But their boss ran away…

You Qiuqiu was unemployed on her graduation day.

……

Inside the Dream Entertainment and Culture Company.

“The company has closed down. Do you think you’re not responsible? Have you no shame; don’t you feel sorry?!”

A short and slender man in a flowered shirt stood there with his hands on his waist looked like he’s trying to pick a dejected fight.

He’s an agent of the company, Pete. When a group of people hurriedly gathered here after the boss had run away, he was the most frenzied. Of course, he wasn’t offering solutions, instead condemning the room one by one.

No one expressed anything, as they didn’t wish to agitate him further. You Qiuqiu shrank herself and lifted her chair quietly to move away.

She was afraid of being sprayed by his spittle.

But because of all the tension, she was detected by Pete’s eyes.

Pete’s fierce gaze turned on her, interrupting her movements.

“You there, You Qiuqiu.” Pete pointed at the woman hiding in the corner and sneered, “Say, don’t you feel ashamed?”

Everyone glanced sympathetically at the woman who was being cursed out by Pete. It really was a sore sight to see. A pity really, they thought, as Pete had always enjoyed finding faults in You Qiuqiu.

But even so, it was just hard for You Qiuqiu go unnoticed. It didn’t matter if she hid in a corner, she’d still glow with her own halo.

She had exceptionally unique looks. Even in the ranked beauties of the entertainment industry, her appearance was considered top-notch.

She wore a mid-length gooseberry yellow Chinese bellflower skirt. Her long black hair was in an updo, looking soft and curly like sheep’s wool, with her hair was thick and dense enough to make a group of bald girls shed tears of admiration.

With all that said, she let down her thick black hair. She had a heart-shaped face, creamy skin, with a healthy blush on the sides of her cheeks, beautiful nose, and round eyes. At first glance, she had a modest and angelic look, her charm increasing with every smile.

In short, her looks were considered the best of both worlds: sweet and salty. Her beauty was innately flexible, a very rare trait, so it could be claimed as a unique kind of beauty. If the team were a bit more ambitious, it wouldn’t be impossible to match her with rich people.

Suddenly hearing her name, You Qiuqiu’s red lips opened slightly as she glanced at Pete. She looked at the people around her to confirm if Pete had actually called out only her. It must’ve been just now, from everyone’s reactions.

Everyone was staring at her. Even if You Qiuqiu didn’t want to talk, he still demanded her to.

You Qiuqiu cleared her throat, and when Pete asked if she was ashamed of the company’s bankruptcy, she seemed to ponder for a while before speaking.

“We’ll be fine.”

In fact, You Qiuqiu felt that Pete’s question was absurd. The company went bankrupt because the CEO and his sister-in-law eloped. What does this have to do with the company’s employees?

She wasn’t the sister-in-law, so You Qiuqiu had chosen a somewhat safe answer, but her words didn’t satisfy Pete.

He was furious. Like a balloon that was about to burst, he opened his mouth to curse.

“Look at the company’s contract with you in the past few years. What contribution have you made? How much wealth have you brought to us?”

“’Has a good face but is blind and actually inept’,” Pete said. “I have never seen a star who couldn’t use a wall as support like you in my life!”

Once again, he said ‘inept’. Pete’s scolding was already unpleasant to hear, and the rest of the room couldn’t listen to it any more. As another curse was being spat, they stood up, helping to resolve the dispute.

There were several people between Pete and You Qiuqiu. When he was interrupted, he swatted away the hands that touched him. Between the gap of people, he stared at You Qiuqiu and announced:

“You Qiuqiu… Anyway, I’m going to be an agent at Mo Lan’s. You can continue to mess around like this. If you can get any role in any program, I will do a live broadcast of me eating stool!”

After listening to his words, You Qiuqiu twisted her beautiful eyebrows.

Pete thought that she would finally want to counterattack; before he was able to put on a smug smile, You Qiuqiu face twisted into disgust, “Eww–“

She stared at him and replied with sincerity, “Why are you so disgusting…”

Who would go around wanting to eat that kind of stuff on a live broadcast?

……

Pete left, cursing, and the atmosphere in the room eased a little, but only for a moment. The facts were that their boss had run away. They really were facing unemployment.

“Qiuqiu.”

You Qiuqiu’s elbow received a poke.

She glanced to her side, and she saw a slightly darkened face. The man was not handsome, even seeming a little naïve, but he was extremely reliable and had a good relationship with You Qiuqiu

You Qiuqiu: “Li Ge, what’s the matter?”

Li Ge faced the chair towards You Qiuqiu, and he rubbed his hands, “You, our company boss ran away. What are you going to do?”

“I have a skill passed down from my ancestors,” he said. “I can convince a monkey to perform tricks. At the worst, I can continue to perform with my monkeys everywhere and make a living, or…you also learn how to train a monkey to perform tricks. But you have soft skin and tender flesh. If you perform with a monkey, you’ll get tanned.”

Worried, he was anxious about You Qiuqiu’s situation and even had the idea of ​​taking You Qiuqiu to perform with him.

You Qiuqiu knew that Li Ge was doing this for her own sake, but she still fervently shook her head like a drum.
