116: Tang Siqiao: Who wouldn't be bewildered by such a straightforward and decisive person! Daxu Culture Media!

Facing almost the same scene as a few days ago, Xu Lu, aiming for simplicity and convenience, adopted the same approach.

He took a bank card directly from his pocket, handed it to Tang Siqiao, and said:

"Director Tang, this card has five hundred thousand inside. Take it and start the work. If you need more, come back to me.

Oh, and if you personally need money, you can also preemptively withdraw one month's salary from it..."

Tang Siqiao, who had just been considering finding an opportunity to slip away, immediately abandoned her previous plan after hearing that the card contained five hundred thousand.

So what if there's no office yet? So what if there's no company structure yet?

As long as she had money in hand, none of that mattered!

Furthermore, a company built from scratch would allow her to fully display her talents without any constraints.

"CEO Xu, I understand. I will handle those two matters you mentioned as quickly as possible!"

Tang Siqiao said with a serious expression.

The Little Assistant suddenly spoke up:

"CEO Xu, I still have ninety thousand yuan on my phone. Should I transfer that to Director Tang as well? It's just sitting here anyway..."

Xu Lu waved his hand and said:

"No need. Keep that money for now. When the time comes, you can help Director Tang by using it to purchase office supplies and equipment!

Also, all your expenses over the past few days—coffee, meals, and so on—go find Director Tang to reimburse you later."

"Oh, alright then!" The Little Assistant nodded and agreed.

It was only then that Tang Siqiao finally came to her senses, understanding why the Little Assistant, who hadn't even signed a formal contract, was working so diligently.

It turned out that the other party, just like herself, not only had a month's salary advanced but was also directly given tens of thousands of yuan in operating funds.

Who wouldn't be dazzled by this kind of straightforwardness!

Thinking of this, Tang Siqiao also felt motivated and asked:

"CEO Xu, what will be the scope of our company's future business?"

"Director Tang, this is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you. First of all, the company or studio we are opening will primarily serve me personally.

Little Zhao must have told you, my main profession is Actor, and my side job is Streamer. Of course, I will also work as a Director, engaging in video or film shooting activities..."

Xu Lu talked about his plans.

Although he wouldn't have to handle these trivial matters himself in the future, he still needed to make things clear to the person in charge, lest they be confused and not know which direction to strive for.

"CEO Xu, if you were only going to be an Actor or Streamer, establishing a studio would be enough. But if you also want to enter the film and television industry, you must establish a cultural and entertainment company..."

Tang Siqiao proved herself to be a professional, quickly offering expert advice.

Xu Lu nodded and said:

"In that case, let's proceed as you suggested and establish a cultural and entertainment type of company. As for the company name, you and Little Zhao each come up with a few options and submit them to me for review."

...It must be said that with the assistance of a professional, things proceeded much more smoothly.

Xu Lu merely clarified his general needs to Director Tang Siqiao, and the very next day, she provided three locations suitable for an office.

After comparing the information for the three places, Xu Lu chose the one closest to his current location, and thus, an office was finally secured.

Moreover, because the location was originally an office for a small company, extensive renovation wasn't necessary; they only needed to purchase desks, chairs, computers, and other supplies.

These items were entrusted to the Little Assistant, who was recently idle, to purchase, under the guise of 'getting some practice.'

With an office location secured, Director Tang Siqiao began handling matters like the company's business license.

This process was originally quite complicated, but fortunately, there were intermediary agencies, requiring only a payment.

In just a few days, the company was established, and its name was 'Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd.'.

Hmm, this name came from the Little Assistant Zhao Ting, and it received the personal approval of Xu Lu, the company's boss.

The only slight difference from before was this:

Director Tang Siqiao not only established 'Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd.' but also applied for an additional 'Xu Lus Studio.'

That's right!

In the future, Xu Lu's activities, such as acting or streaming, would be linked to 'Xu Lus Studio,' which would serve him personally and exclusively.

However, if he were shooting a film or engaging in other forms of investment, 'Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd.' would be used for the operations.

The benefits of this were obvious; at the very least, the accounts would be much clearer.

Of course, this was also approved by Xu Lu; Tang Siqiao merely suggested it... Looking at the newly hung sign for 'Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd.' and the business license also displayed on the wall.

As the Administrative Director, Tang Siqiao felt a great sense of accomplishment.

This company was practically established by her alone. Although she wasn't the one who provided the money, she was the one who did the work!

But immediately after, she felt that something was amiss—it was too quiet, because she was the only one in the entire office!

Xu Lu, the boss of Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd., apparently had no intention of being permanently stationed at the company.

Zhao Ting, Xu Lu's Little Assistant, naturally wouldn't come over alone either.

Because she belonged to 'Xu Lus Studio' and had no direct relationship with Da Xu Culture Media.

Therefore, currently, the only official employee under the entire Da Xu Culture Media Co., Ltd. was Tang Siqiao!

Without any hesitation, Tang Siqiao picked up the phone and dialed:

"Hello, CEO Xu, should we start recruiting now? The entire office is empty!"

"Yes, we need to recruit people!"

Xu Lu's voice immediately came from the other side, saying:

"I plan to shoot some short dramas in the near future, so I need you to first hire a filming crew.

Besides me serving as the Director, we need an Assistant Director, videographers, editors, makeup artists, and prop masters... Oh, and when hiring, if you find someone whose abilities you think are good in all aspects, give me a video call. I need to take a look to decide whether to hire them!"

Huh?

Hearing that last sentence, Tang Siqiao was stunned.

She suddenly recalled that when she was interviewed by the Little Assistant Zhao Ting, the latter seemed to have made a video call to CEO Xu.

But at the time, before she even had a chance to speak, the Little Assistant said that CEO Xu on the other end had hung up due to other matters.

Tang Siqiao had genuinely believed that he hung up because he was busy, but now it seemed likely that it wasn't 'being busy,' but rather that CEO Xu had already taken a look at her.

Thinking this, Tang Siqiao secretly mused:

"So I was also looked at by CEO Xu before I joined! I wondered why Assistant Zhao just decided to hire me on the spot. So that's how it was!"

Although she learned this situation, Tang Siqiao didn't think about it in a strange way.

She just assumed Xu Lu wanted to take a look to see if the recruited person was aesthetically pleasing, which wasn't a particularly strange quirk.

But she probably couldn't imagine, even if she racked her brain, that the glance Xu Lu took was actually to examine a person's Fortune and Destiny.
