Chapter 520: 504 There is a problem with Xi Hongxia’s background check

"Xi Hongxia’s background check?" Yan Yueqing took the document from her hand.

As per Teacher Ji’s request, and also Yan Yueqing’s own intention, a background check of the two newly recruited artists was necessary before signing the official contract.

After all, for this recruitment, she had discussed with Teacher Ji that it was fine even if no one was selected. What she wanted were artists who could develop over the long term, and even break into the international market, not those who were satisfied with only minor endorsements and advertisements.

Yan Yueqing planned to pick one or two suitable candidates, train them for a while, and then make an official announcement when Si Younian joined them.

With a wide range of pathways and abundant resources, such artists not only needed to be highly talented but also couldn’t have a scandalous past.

Otherwise, should any scandal break out in the future, the hard-earned reputation that Xingyue had built with their help would plummet drastically.

Yesterday, the HR department and Xu Mengjie had explained their reasons to Xi Hongxia, and both of them cooperated fully by disclosing their previous work experiences.

Who would have thought the background check results would cause HR such panic?

Huang Meimei nervously said, "President Yue, there’s no problem with Xi Hongxia’s education and work background, but her private life... She almost changes boyfriends every three months, and they are all either wealthy or of high status... People in the circle say she is... a social butterfly..."

A social butterfly?

That’s hardly a compliment.

Yan Yueqing frowned and flipped through the documents. "Among those she dated, were there any married men or men engaged to be married?"

"No, they were all single."

"Did she get involved in affairs, cheat, or engage in multiple relationships at once?"

"No, but..."

Yan Yueqing had thought it was something serious. She put down the document and said, "As long as there is no legal or moral issue, the number of boyfriends she has had doesn’t significantly affect our decision to sign her."

"President Yue, with her being a key training target for our company, such private life... I’m afraid it will be dug up once she debuts."

Yan Yueqing knew what Huang Meimei was worried about and smiled, "In that case, go fetch Xi Hongxia. I will have a talk with her in person."

Huang Meimei immediately left, and soon after, Xi Hongxia knocked on the door and came in.

She wore a set of leather clothes—pants paired with a strapless top—that accentuated her impressive figure strikingly. The top only reached her midriff, revealing a section of her slender, pale waist. From the back, two deep dimples at her waist were visible.

Underneath her long, straight black hair, those red lips were even more tempting.

Even Yan Yueqing took an extra glance, praising, "When I saw you yesterday, I immediately thought you are a natural beauty, absolutely cut out for a career in the entertainment industry."

Xi Hongxia’s personality was rather wild and untamed; she was special in her speech and actions no matter whom she addressed.

In front of the company president, she neither flattered nor sought favor. She sauntered over, pulled out a chair, and sat down carelessly.

"President Yue flatters me too much; my beauty is nothing compared to even a tenth of yours."

Xi Hongxia could speak formally if needed, but she found it vexing.

After a polite response, she got straight to the point, "Summoning me so suddenly, is it about the background check results?"

Yan Yueqing smiled and pushed the document across for her to see for herself.

Xi Hongxia quickly flipped through it, her expression growing even more scornful.

"They say President Yue is capable, but I didn’t believe it until now. Not only are you capable, but in just one night, you’ve nearly uncovered everything about me."

Yan Yueqing asked her, "Do you have anything to say about this?"

Xi Hongxia tossed the file onto the table, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked completely nonchalant, "Nothing much to say. I own up to whatever I’ve done. However, there are two errors: Zhang Jian and Chen Wei haven’t dated me. They wanted to pursue me, but I didn’t agree, though they spread many rumors at gatherings, leading others to believe I was dating both of them simultaneously."

Yan Yueqing nodded, "Zhang’s Construction and Chen’s Wholesale—those two heirs, I’ve heard a bit about their character."

These two were particularly close with Feng Long. At many gatherings that Feng Hong attended, the two were always inseparable.

Xue Yi recalled with fear, "President Yue, it’s lucky they’re not interested in men. They like to play together. I’ve seen several girls they’ve taken away from gatherings, and those girls... they disappeared without a trace afterward..."
