I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 46



Chapter 46: Mom Is Domineering

Under normal circumstances, Jess Lane and her daughter would have turned around and left. However, Jess Lane’s skin was indeed extraordinarily thick. At this moment, she bit her lip and looked at William Scott. “Even if we can’t fall in love, we can still be considered acquaintances. Can you do me a favor?”

William Scott said directly, “I’m sorry, I’m just an ordinary employee of that company. I only appeared at the recruitment office today to make up the numbers. Whether we can take you… is not up to me.”

Jess Lane suddenly felt some hope. She had offended William Scott because she was afraid that he would not use her. She hurriedly said, “Then what does CEO Xenia think?”

Wei Feng looked at Jess Lane and said slowly, “She probably doesn’t think highly of you. You’d better not have any hopes.”

“Didn’t think highly of me?” Jess Lane stood up immediately and pointed at William Scott. She shouted in exasperation, “This must be your doing, right? I’ve had so much live-stream experience for so long and I have so many fans. Among those applicants, I’m definitely one of the top. Why won’t you hire me?”

William Scott said indifferently, “You might have some ability, but our company doesn’t just look at ability. Character is also an important assessment standard. On this point… you don’t meet our company’s requirements.”

“Y-you’re deliberately taking revenge!” Jess Lane gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to swallow William Scott.

Jess Lane’s mother hurriedly said, “Janna Sands, we’ve been colleagues for many years. Can you help us? Our Jess Lane really wants to go to that film company.”

Janna Sands shook her head and said, “We’re old friends. There are some things I didn’t want to say. However, I now have to say that you’ve really failed a little in your parenting. It’s fine for a person to be materialistic, and it’s not wrong for a person use some means to become famous. However, if you don’t even have the most basic values, then that’s overboard.”

“I…” Jess Lane’s mother blushed.

Jess Lane started crying. “I’ll change in the future. William Scott, Auntie Janna, please hire me. I really need this opportunity.”

William Scott said calmly, “It’s useless for you to say this now. When you really make me feel like you’ve changed, you can come to our company to apply for a job. I’m sorry, I still have some work to do, so I won’t be accompanying you.”

With that, William Scott returned to his room.

......

Outside, Jess Lane was still begging Janna Sands. However, Janna Sands was definitely a woman who could handle things. Since her son had already made his decision, she would not make things difficult for him. Therefore, she was also determined. In the end, Jess Lane and her daughter could only leave helplessly.

Janna Sands entered William Scott’s room. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. She then patted William Scott’s shoulder and said, “Son, you’re amazing. You’ve really made your mother proud.”

William Scott chuckled and said, “I still need Mom’s help though. If not for Mom, I’m afraid I would really have to throw them out.”

“That’s a small matter, but kid, Mom is really proud this time. You know Jess Lane’s mother. Although she’s just an ordinary employee in the unit with me, her husband is still quite good at earning money, so she always throws her weight around. Hehe, now I’ll see what else she can be smug about. Her daughter is looking for a job, and she still has to beg my son. By the way, you actually started a film company. Impressive, kid.”

William Scott smiled and said, “It’s just two friends trying to do it together. Moreover, it’s not that kind of television drama or movie company. It’s just some short videos we’re doing. We don’t even know if we can earn any money.”

“How can you ever be sure to make money in business? We’re not afraid of losing money. Dad and Mom even saved some for you. If you want to use it, tell Mom. There’s no more. There’s still 500,000 to 600,000 dollars.”

William Scott gave her a thumbs up and said, “Mom is really rich. I’m more confident now.”

Janna Sands patted William Scott’s shoulder twice and said, “Ha, that’s true. No matter what, Mom will always be your strongest backing.”

In the next few days, there was a new change in William Scott and Xenia Lewis’s company every day. The newly recruited employees were now involved in the company’s arrangements. Anyone who was a little scheming should understand that if they were more diligent and did more work at this time, they would definitely leave a good impression on their boss.

Although this company looked new, it was clearly not weak. It could be seen from the fact that the company rented such a large writing room. In addition, there was another thing that everyone valued. Part of the company’s shares were held by Millennium Productions.

Millennium Productions was one of the top companies in the entire film and television industry. Being able to obtain Millennium Productions’s financing meant that one would even have a chance to use this small company as a springboard in the future and finally become an artist of Millennium Productions. That would really be a meteoric rise.

Initially, Xenia Lewis did not want to say that she had received funding from Millennium Productions. She felt that the financing this time was really a joke. It was just a favor from William Scott and not Millennium Productions’ recognition of her company.

However, William Scott still convinced Xenia Lewis. No matter what the purpose of Millennium Productions’ investment was, since they had already received the investment, they had to keep this going. Moreover, they had to do it well. With such a good endorsement from Millennium Productions, why not use it? As long as Millennium Productions was a shareholder of the company, this would be excellent publicity.

And it turned out that William Scott’s opinion was very right. At the very least, after the new employees found out about this association with Millennium Productions, they were indeed full of energy. None of them were lazy, even though they were doing manual labor now and it had nothing to do with acting.

In addition, talents like scriptwriters and photographers had also come to apply for new jobs. The artistes who came for the interview in the later stages were also more impressive.

“Today is the last day.”

It was already past eight in the evening. The employees in the company had already gotten off work. Xenia Lewis looked around the company and said with a smile.

“That’s right. Tomorrow is the official start of work.” William Scott nodded with a smile. The company had really been furnished today. Everything had been arranged and the company would officially start operating tomorrow.

Xenia Lewis looked at the spacious hall and the work desks. There were also many professional filming equipment and individual filming rooms. She said, “I feel like I’m dreaming. I’m actually going to achieve my dream so quickly.”

Turning around, Xenia Lewis looked at William Scott, and her eyes slowly turned red.
