Cao Lang's heart stirred. Another mysterious mission had been triggered; the System was really full of surprises.
The last person with a bonus reward was Li Na, and as it turned out, Li Na was indeed very useful!
Not only did she have a special constitution, but she was also shrewd, capable, and considerate.
And Ye Wanqing was actually a T0; Cao Lang felt a hint of surprise.
At today's opening, the audience was filled with Female Internet Celebrities and female stars. After system certification, they were all beauties with scores above 70.
Cao Lang took a quick look, and not a single one was T0.
The lowest was T4, and most were T30+.
The fact that this Ye Wanqing was a T0 version was a extremely rare probability in itself. Even without the reward, she would have caught Cao Lang's attention.
Furthermore, Ye Wanqing's appearance score was 97, one point higher than Chen Duling's! She looked incredibly beautiful!
In Cao Lang's eyes, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Ye Wanqing was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen!
Ye Wanqing's beauty was of the 'striking' type.
Even with mud smeared on her face, one could tell she was a beauty.
She gave off the vibe of a great beauty whose health was pristine and whose biological clock was perfectly on time.
Liu Qingqin had an appearance score of 98, but her overall visual impact was still a notch below Ye Wanqing's.
Perhaps it was because Ye Wanqing was a professional actress who had studied classical dance, possessed high artistic accomplishments, and followed a very disciplined diet and lifestyle.
As they say, everyone's experiences are different, and the final result differs accordingly.
A true beauty might not have perfect features, but temperament is definitely the most important thing!
The fact that Ye Wanqing could pursue a career as an actress meant her family's financial strength was decent. Being raised in wealth since childhood also made her more eye-catching!
Cao Lang was naturally willing to give her this chance and asked, "Miss Ye, with such an outstanding image, you shouldn't be lacking in film and television resources. Why have you come to my small place to film short dramas?"
Ye Wanqing and Chen Duling looked at each other, both revealing a bitter smile.
This was also something difficult for them to talk about.
It seemed this CEO Cao had still seen too little of the darkness in the entertainment industry.
Director Zheng, watching from the side, stared wide-eyed: "Ye Wanqing?! Are you the Ye Wanqing from 'Life is but a Dream'? That performance was practically textbook level!"
Ye Wanqing nodded politely in thanks but showed no extra emotion, maintaining a sense of detachment even in the face of praise.
Cao Lang keenly sensed Ye Wanqing's wariness. Although she wore light makeup, he could still see faint dark circles around her eyes; clearly, she hadn't been having a good time lately.
"We can talk in detail if there's a chance; it's not very convenient here."
Chen Duling understood and immediately said, "I opened a cafe nearby with a good environment. Why don't we go there and chat?"
"How about now?" Cao Lang asked directly.
Li Na watched this scene from the side, a flash of understanding in her eyes.
Cao Lang was making moves one after another, and he really was aiming for the top beauties in the industry.
"Alright, I'll send you the address," Chen Duling agreed readily.
The four of them took separate cars... and arrived at Chen Duling's cafe.
This was a boutique shop hidden deep in an alley in the busy downtown area. The decor was low-key and luxurious, and one could smell the rich aroma of coffee upon entering.
"This is my little shop, named 'Among the Clouds'. I come here to read when I'm free; it's a very quiet place." Chen Duling personally poured a cup of coffee for Cao Lang.
Cao Lang took a sip; it was fragrant and smooth: "The taste is good."
After a bit of small talk, Chen Duling got straight to the point: "CEO Cao, I'll be blunt. Wanqing's current situation is a bit special. She originally had a boundless future but was blacklisted for nearly two years due to some irresistible forces."
Ye Wanqing's face remained calm, but her fingertips unconsciously tightened around the coffee cup.
"Can I ask what the specific situation is?" Cao Lang put down his coffee cup and looked directly at Ye Wanqing.
Chen Duling sighed: "Wanqing was originally at Jiaying Media and was their leading star. There was a big project where she was set to be the female lead, but she was later replaced. After that, her resources dwindled, and she was repeatedly assigned to play some third-rate roles, until finally, she was completely blacklisted..."
"Because I refused to attend a certain young master's private party," Ye Wanqing interrupted. "They demanded that I accompany certain people for drinks, play games, and even more excessive things."
Cao Lang frowned: "They?"
"Qin Cheng, the crown prince of the Qin Group," Ye Wanqing stated the name directly.
The Qin Group was a genuine conglomerate with a market value of hundreds of billions, involved in real estate, finance, medical care, entertainment, and many other fields.
As the only son and future heir, Qin Cheng possessed immense power. One could say that if he stomped his foot, the entire Shanghai entertainment industry would shake!
"And then?" Cao Lang asked softly.
"Then I was sued by the company for fifty million in 'breach of contract' damages. Suddenly, various black materials about me being a diva and a bully broke out online. Brands I had previously collaborated with terminated their contracts, and all my resources were cut off..." Ye Wanqing spoke calmly, telling her story slowly.
Chen Duling added: "The company issued a ban on her, warning other companies both openly and secretly not to use her. For the past two years, Wanqing has barely been able to find a foothold in the industry."
Cao Lang picked up his coffee and took a sip. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You're a free agent now, right? If there are no contract entanglements, I can use you."
Ye Wanqing's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "CEO Cao, that man Qin Cheng holds grudges, and he is very powerful."
Cao Lang smiled slightly: "Xingyao Media may not be big, but it's not a small company that can be pushed around. Besides, actors speak with their talent. Who can stop the audience from liking a good actor?"
Ye Wanqing was stunned. She had only intended to come and try, but she didn't expect Cao Lang to hire her directly!
She had already interviewed with many media companies, but not one dared to hire her. Chen Duling had pulled strings for her in private, saying that Xingyao Media had a new president and maybe she could give it a try.
She had come with the expectation of failure, so this CEO Cao's straightforwardness took Ye Wanqing by surprise.
"Then I'll thank CEO Cao first," Ye Wanqing said with a slight nod, her tone still cautious.
Watching this, Chen Duling smiled with relief: "Then it's settled! I believe Wanqing will definitely shine at Xingyao Media!"
The three of them chatted about some specific details and agreed that Ye Wanqing would go to the company tomorrow to sign the contract and discuss further. The atmosphere gradually lightened...
