Chapter 327 Beautiful Producer
The office fell silent again. The sky outside the window was beginning to darken, and the setting sun painted the glass curtain wall of the CBD a vibrant orange-red.
After finishing the last few documents on the table, Fu Yibai signed them and closed the folder.
I glanced at the time; it was 6:40.
He stood up, picked up his suit jacket draped over the back of his chair, and left the office.
Guo Zhenni was tidying up the table when she saw him come out and immediately stood up.
"Mr. Fu, are we going home?"
"Um."
The two walked toward the elevator.
The elevator for executives was under maintenance today, so they took the employee elevator downstairs.
The elevator doors opened, and the elevator was empty.
Fu Yibai stepped inside, and Guo Zhenni followed behind, pressing the button for the first floor.
The elevator doors slowly closed and began to descend.
When we reached the 22nd floor, the elevator stopped.
The door opened, and a woman stood at the elevator entrance.
She was wearing a beige knit sweater, dark gray suit trousers, and low-heeled black leather shoes.
Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and well-defined jawline.
Her makeup was very light, with a dusty rose lipstick on her lips. Her features were delicate but not ostentatious; she was the kind of beauty that required close inspection to appreciate.
She was holding a thick folder with a label on the cover that read "Art Proposal for 'The Lost City'".
She was taken aback when she saw Fu Yibai standing in the elevator.
"Mr. Fu."
After a polite greeting, the woman walked in naturally, stood on the other side of the elevator, and pressed the close button.
The elevator continued to descend.
Which department are you from?
Fu Yibai spoke first.
"Hello, Mr. Fu."
I'm in the film and television production department, as an executive producer.
"What's your name?"
"Chen Xi".
Fu Yibai repeated the name.
"Which Chen, which Xi?"
"Er Dong Chen, Xi as in dawn."
Fu Yibai's lips curved slightly.
Chen Xi.
Morning Light Media.
Your name sounds the same as my company's name, what a coincidence!
Chen Xi smiled slightly, but the curve of her lips was very shallow and quickly disappeared.
She lifted the folder she was holding higher, her gaze returning to the floor numbers on the elevator doors.
The elevator is going down, and the numbers are jumping one by one.
When did you join the company?
Fu Yibai asked another question.
It wasn't intentional; he genuinely became curious about the executive producer whose name sounded the same as his company's.
"At the beginning of this year."
"Which one did you go to before?"
"I used to be an actor."
Fu Yibai raised an eyebrow.
It's not common for an actor to switch careers and become an executive producer.
"Such a young age, and he's already transitioned from actor to producer?"
Chen Xi was silent for a moment.
"Something happened, and I don't want to be an actor anymore."
Fu Yibai did not ask any further questions.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, he has seen too many people transition from being in front of the camera to working behind the scenes.
Everyone has their own reasons; some are willing to talk about them, while others are not.
Pressuring someone who doesn't want to talk about it is disrespectful.
The elevator reached the fifteenth floor, the doors opened, and two employees from Xingmeng Digital Entertainment entered.
Upon seeing Fu Yibai, the two immediately stood up straight and greeted him.
"Mr. Fu."
"Um."
The elevator continued downwards.
Upon reaching the first floor, the door opened. Two employees stepped aside to let Fu Yibai go first.
Fu Yibai stepped out of the elevator, with Guo Zhenni following behind.
Chen Xi also came out, carrying a folder, and walked towards the corridor on the other side of the lobby.
Fu Yibai took a few steps and then suddenly stopped.
He finally remembered.
Chen Xi is the same person who later changed her name to Chen Zhixi.
That legendary figure in another time and space, who transitioned from actor to producer and created blockbuster projects such as "Lost in Thailand," "Detective Chinatown," "Jian Bing Man," and "Hi Mom."
He turned around.
Chen Xi's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
"Mr. Fu?"
Guo Zhenni followed his gaze.
"It's nothing."
Fu Yibai looked away, a slight smile curving his lips.
Fate is a really interesting thing sometimes.
He turned and walked towards the gate.
The automatic doors in the lobby sensed his approach and slid open silently.
The evening breeze at the end of September swept in, carrying the dryness and coolness unique to Beijing's autumn.
Guo Zhenni had already notified the driver in advance, and the black van was parked at the door with the door open.
Fu Yibai bent down and sat in, while Guo Zhenni got into the passenger seat from the other side.
The car drove out of the Chenxi Building parking lot and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.
Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair, watching the street scenes rushing past the window.
Chen Zhixi.
He had heard many stories about this woman in his past life.
He started out as an actor, acted in a few films, but remained relatively unknown. Later, he completely retired behind the scenes, changed his name, and started from the most basic production assistant position, gradually climbing to the position of a top producer in the industry.
Talented individuals, once they enter the gates of Dawn, cannot escape.
He snapped out of his thoughts, took out his phone, and sent a message to Wang Peng.
"You have an executive producer named Chen Xi who joined the company at the beginning of this year."
Keep an eye on her work performance; if she's talented, give her more opportunities.
"Received. Is there anything in particular I should be aware of?"
"No, not at the moment. Just keep an eye on it as usual."
