Chapter 490: Intense Competition. Letting Gu Mang in through the Back Door?
Xu Yi turned to Gu Mang. “Boss, please go have some rest in the office first. I will call you when the interview begins.”
“Mm.”
Xu Yi pushed the glass door open and strode into the interview room.
Gu Mang glanced at the gilded words “X Voice Factory” on the wall across from her and she walked to the office area. She glanced around. The company building was renovated last year. She had seen the photos sent by Xu Yi and the others, but she hadn’t had time to come see for herself.
A man seated in front of a computer who was drinking water inadvertently glanced at Gu Mang. He widened his eyes in shock and bumped his elbow against the woman next to him. “Look!”
“What?” the woman asked and looked over. “Oh damn! Gu Mang?”
Sheng Ting’s MV was so popular that he won a big award last year. Gu Mang’s face was even more familiar to the public than those of many celebrities. The MV had many views and despite it being a year old the view count was still rising.
The man did not know Gu Mang. He just thought she was very good-looking. When he heard the woman get excited, he asked curiously, “Do you know her?”
“Of course I do! The main female lead of Sheng Ting’s MV of his new song this year!” The woman trembled slightly and started looking for a pen and paper from her desk. After being unable to find anything to write on, she gave up and picked up her phone before walking towards Gu Mang. “I’m going to ask for her signature.”
The man was speechless.
Gu Mang seldom came by but the company still left her an office.
Suddenly, a woman rushed in front of her. As soon as Gu Mang stopped, the woman handed her a mobile phone and marker to her. “Goddess Gu, could you sign my phone case?”
Gu Mang looked up and saw the woman’s young face. She looked really excited. She called her Goddess Gu. She must be a Sheng Ting fan.
Since she was her own employee, Gu Mang did not reject her. She took the phone and marker, and tapped on the mint green phone cover. “Here?”
The woman nodded profusely. “Mmhmm.”
Gu Mang left quite an ugly signature on the back of her phone cover. She only realized that she should have signed nicely after she was done.
She was just about to say something when the woman took her phone back as if it were a holy relic. She did not mind the signature at all. “Thank you, Goddess Gu! Your handwriting is so cute!”
Gu Mang remained quiet.
Then, the woman asked again, “Goddess Gu, are you here to look for someone?”
Gu Mang answered simply, “Here for an interview.”
The woman was shocked. She asked without thinking, “Goddess Gu, with your talent, why do you still have to interview for our company?”
Realizing that the woman had misunderstood her, Gu Mang did not explain further. Suddenly two well-dressed ladies in dresses appeared. They had their resumes in hand and they seemed to be students in the voice acting program at Capital University.
One of the girls looked over at Gu Mang. “Isn’t she the Gu Mang who was admitted in advance to our school’s medical school?”
The person next to her nodded. “I think so. That office worker just called her Goddess Gu.”
In the industry, Gu Mang was the only one who was referred to as Goddess Gu.
“Is she here to be interviewed as well?” The girl’s pupils shrank a little and she stiffened for a few seconds. Then, she said lightly, “Seeing the attitude of the staff, would they let her in through the back door?”
In recent years, “radio dramas” and various “audio books” have emerged, and many capital firms have tried to get involved. X Voice Factory was the bellwether of the dubbing industry. Naturally, they had to take a share of the loot. This time, they intended to hire 20 employees.
Although they intended to expand, she heard that there were over 600 people who had come to be interviewed. They came in batches at different times. Within the batches, many of the interviewees were from various provinces.
Clearly, the competition was very intense.
