100: Lin Jiachuan, Brother Dao!

After Chen Le finished speaking, Zhou Yiwei looked at Zhang Songwen with a touch of gratitude.

He took this kindness to heart.

Afterward, Chen Le picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the number of his Agent, Zhang Li.

"Sister Li, come to my office for a moment."

"Okay, Boss, right away!"

A short while later, Zhang Li pushed the door open and entered. Her steps were light, and a professional smile was on her face. "Boss, you were looking for me?"

"Yes, this is Zhou Yiwei. I plan to sign him. Go prepare a contract, and for the compensation, follow the standard for the company's second-tier contracts," Chen Le instructed.

After all, Zhou Yiwei had just joined the company, but Chen Le valued him quite highly, giving him a compensation package only one tier lower than Zhang Songwen and Wang Baoqiang.

Hearing this, Zhang Li noticed Zhou Yiwei standing nearby.

Seeing her look over, Zhou Yiwei also nodded to Zhang Li.

Chen Le looked at him and continued, "Go sign the contract with Sister Li!"

"Alright, Director Chen."

"Okay, Boss, I'll go prepare it right now." After saying that, she turned and left to get to work.

Zhou Yiwei followed behind her, feeling a bit stiff.

After the two of them left, only Zhang Songwen and Chen Le remained in the office.

"Boss, I'm really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Yiwei would probably have had to go back to his hometown," Zhang Songwen said with great appreciation.

"Don't mention it; he has plenty of talent himself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have signed him so casually just for your sake, Teacher Songwen, let alone given him such a good deal," Chen Le said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

"Boss, even though Yiwei is capable, it's only useful if a talent scout spots him. Although his acting is better than mine, he's never been able to get a break and can't even land decent roles," Zhang Songwen said, his face full of regret.

"Haha, so do I count as his talent scout now?" Chen Le replied with a laugh.

"Of course you do, Boss," Zhang Songwen responded with a smile as well.

"Then do you have any other classmates with great acting skills? You can recommend them all to me. I'm willing to be their talent scout. As long as you name them, I'll take them all."

As Chen Le spoke, he suddenly thought of one of Zhang Songwen's classmates, Lin Jialong.

This man was also a powerhouse actor who played Brother Dao in 'The Knockout' in his previous life. Chen Le had a very deep impression of him.

Thinking of this, Chen Le looked at Zhang Songwen and suddenly asked, "Teacher Songwen, do you know Lin Jialong?"

Zhang Songwen was still thinking about which of his classmates had good acting skills when he heard Chen Le's question and was momentarily stunned.

"Boss, how do you know my old classmate?" Zhang Songwen looked at Chen Le in great surprise, asking with some confusion.

"Haha, I saw him in 'Living on with a Smile' and thought his acting was excellent. I didn't realize he was your old classmate, Teacher Songwen!" Chen Le made up an excuse, pretending to be very surprised.

Chen Le naturally knew that Lin Jialong was Zhang Songwen's old classmate. He, Zhou Yiwei, and Lin Jialong were classmates in the same year and had a very good relationship.

However, Lin Jialong's acting career was much smoother than theirs. Since his father was a famous domestic screenwriter, he had a relatively easy time thanks to his father's connections.

"Is this classmate of yours signed with any agency? I'd like to sign him too," Chen Le asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Songwen quickly said, "Jiasuan isn't signed to a company right now; he's still a freelancer."

"I'll call him right now. He'll be thrilled to know you think so highly of him."

With that, Zhang Songwen pulled out his phone and called Lin Jialong.

However, the phone rang for a long time without being answered, which made Zhang Songwen a little embarrassed.

"Boss, Jiasuan might be busy and didn't see the call."

Seeing this, Chen Le smiled and said, "No worries. Just help me get in touch with him later. If he's willing to join us, I definitely won't mistreat him."

"Alright, Boss, I'll contact him," Zhang Songwen nodded.

On the other side, after signing the contract, Zhou Yiwei felt exceptionally relieved.

He walked with a light step, heading off to find Zhang Songwen.

He immediately spotted Zhang Songwen just as he was walking out of Chen Le's office.

He looked at Zhang Songwen and smiled. "Songwen, I've signed the contract!"

"That's great! Come on, let's go have a nice meal to celebrate!" Zhang Songwen smiled and pulled Zhou Yiwei out of the company.

"Songwen, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have gone back to my hometown to work in a factory," Zhou Yiwei said with gratitude as they walked a short distance from the company.

To be honest, the previous Zhou Yiwei really had considered doing that.

He had struggled in Yanjing for so many years, only to end up needing help from friends just to get by, which had severely damaged his self-confidence.

For the past few days, he had been constantly doubting if he was just too incompetent to have ended up in such a state.

Fortunately, Zhang Songwen helped him; otherwise, he really would have gone back home.

"No need for thanks. The boss said it himself; he values your strength and didn't sign you just for my sake," Zhang Songwen said, waving it off.

"Regardless, if it weren't for your recommendation, Songwen, I definitely wouldn't have been able to meet Director Chen. I must thank you for that," Zhou Yiwei's eyes were full of gratitude.

"We're good friends; don't be so formal."

As Zhang Songwen spoke, an idea occurred to him.

He remembered what Chen Le had just said about wanting to sign Lin Jialong and spoke up:

"By the way, while you were signing the contract, I was chatting with the boss, and we even brought up Jiasuan."

"Jiasuan? What about him?" Zhou Yiwei asked curiously.

"The boss mentioned he's seen the movies Jiasuan acted in and was very impressed by him."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiwei also looked surprised. "Really? The boss actually knows Jiasuan?"

Zhang Songwen nodded. "Yes, he even asked if Jiasuan has an agency and said he wants to sign him to our company too."

Zhou Yiwei's face lit up with joy. "Really? If Lin Jialong can join the company too, that would be fantastic! Our three musketeers can finally be reunited."

"Haha, exactly. It's a pity I couldn't get through to Jiasuan's phone just now. I'll have to ask him tonight," Zhang Songwen said, laughing along with Zhou Yiwei.

Afterward, the two of them went to a nearby restaurant to celebrate.

In the restaurant, they toasted each other and talked excitedly about the future.

Meanwhile, Lin Jialong was on a Film Crew filming.

Although his father was a famous screenwriter, which gave him many advantages and opportunities in his acting career.

However, Lin Jialong never became complacent because of it. He knew that an actor's path must be forged by oneself, so he never stopped working hard at his craft.

Just as Lin Jialong finished a day of filming, he picked up his phone and saw a missed call. Seeing it was from Zhang Songwen's number, he was a bit surprised.

"Hey, Songwen, what's up? You called?"
