Pick up a Son, Get a Free Husband 2

Chapter 249: First Encounter

Next morning, in Jieun's office at Glory World Entertainment.

"Jieun, I'm not late, am I?" Jennie had rested at her apartment the whole day yesterday, and was pretty much fully recovered. It was only that she still looked a little wan, so today she had chosen to wear a trendy outfit with a bold combination of colors to brighten her skin, making her look young and energetic.

In front of the desk in the office, Jieun as usual did not have a single strand of hair out of place. She wore a suit jacket and an A-line skirt in cool colors, and was working on some documents. Seeing that Jennie had come, she sized her up first before raising her head. "No need to be nervous, it's nothing important today, I just wanted to show you around the company before shooting starts tomorrow. Even if you normally won't come to the company often, you still need to be familiar with the company's basic department structure."

"Okay, thank you, Jieun!"

"Let's go."

Jennie nodded, and followed her out. With Jieun's guidance, she familiarized herself with each company department, and met a few of her new colleagues.

Whatever they thought inside, on the outside, everyone was polite to her.

Even though everyone tacitly understood that this was a battle between Glory World and Starlight, and Jennie was the company's weapon in striking at Starlight, it was the undeniable truth that the company was prepared to nurture Jennie, so nobody wanted to court bad luck by harassing her during this critical period, when public opinion of her was flourishing.

"Tut, this Jennie is even better looking in person, no wonder Second Young Master likes her!"

"I have a feeling, as long as her EQ is not too low, she'll definitely become a hit!"

"That's hard to say! Hye-kyu just left, do you think people will allow her to make it big so easily? Anyway, do you think she and Jieun will get along? Doesn't Jieun hate those type of actresses the most, the ones who rely on their good looks to climb their way up?"
...

The company was actually pretty big, and Jennie followed Jieun for more than an hour before they completed the tour.

As they were about to take a look at the film sets and recording studios behind the company, they unexpectedly ran into someone in the corridor.

"Yo! Isn't this our Big Manager Lee? Finally stopped becoming an hermit? I thought you wouldn't be coming back to the industry after your setback!" The woman speaking was around thirty years old. She wore sexy and trendy clothes. Her hair was in big waves, and she had exquisite makeup on. She was dressed up even more magnificently than any star.

Because she often appeared in newspapers and magazines, and she had seen her from a distance on production sets several times before, Jennie instantly recognized that this was Yimo's manager, Zhao.

Faced with Zhao's provocative words, Jieun's eyebrows didn't even twitch, and she said blandly, "With Ms Zhao still working hard, how can we youngsters slow down."

"You..."Zhao was pissed.

On the side, Jennie struggled not to laugh out loud. She hadn't expected that Jieun, who looked inflexible and severe, to have such a vicious tongue!

Zhao ground her teeth and hmphed coldly. "Jieun, I didn't think you would do well to begin with, but I can't not admit that you have some skill, being able to raise Hue-kyu that plain nobody up to such a high level. But now..."

Zhao deliberately paused, and glanced disdainfully at Jennie. "After Hye-kyu, you went and found yourself such a flower vase, who besides scandals and her looks, doesn't have one good thing about her. I remember that you hate artists who rely on their good looks the most. So? Have you fallen so low now?"
