In the afternoon–
Jian Xingsui went downstairs after receiving a call. The other party claimed that she was Fu Jinxiao’s agent. Now that the car had arrived at the Shen family’s house, she said she wanted to have a private chat with Jian Xingsui about the contract.
Jian Xingsui was still shocked when he received the call: “You are Ms. Wang?”
Wang Meican smiled: “What’s the matter, is it surprising?”
“I just didn’t expect it.” As he ran downstairs to meet the older lady, Jian Xingsui said in a respectful manner, “I have heard about your name in the industry for a long time. You are a well-known gold medal agent. I didn’t expect to see you today.”
“It’s also an honor to meet you. Come down quickly, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Jian Xingsui answered, “Okay.”
Wang Meican felt a little emotional after hanging up the phone.
In fact, logically speaking, it’s just a matter of terminating the contract. She shouldn’t have to do it herself, she could delegate it to someone else. Even if the call was made at Fu Jinxiao’s request, Wang Meican could definitely arrange for someone capable to do it. However, she had to do it in person, as this matter was so miraculous – that Fu Jinxiao, who has always been indifferent to anything, gave an order on behalf of another person.
Wang Meican was a little surprised at that time, mostly because Fu Jinxiao just got off the plane in the morning and was supposed to be resting. He heard her saying that he was going to pick up Jian Xingsui, and actually followed her. It was like he was afraid that someone would bully Jian Xingsui.
Jian Xingsui trotted downstairs, opened the car door and was about to say hello to Wang Meican, but when he looked up, he met another handsome face.
Fu Jinxiao was leaning lazily on the back seat of the nanny van. He was still wearing a black suit that should be worn for attending events, looking like a refined nobleman. At this moment, his handsome face was curled into a careless smile, ” Oh, what a coincidence.”
Jian Xingsui stood up in shock. He was used to being a trainee, and when he saw an instructor, he subconsciously straightened his back . Was it because he was too nervous, or because he forgot where he was? Thanks to that, his head almost hit the roof of the car.
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
Jian Xingsui was a little annoyed. He steadied himself, sat up, closed the car door, and said respectfully: “Mr. Fu, long time no see.”
Fu Jinxiao felt a little happy when he saw this naive kid, and answered in an ambiguous tone, “It’s been a long time, but I’ve already left ‘Starlight’, so you don’t need to call me instructor anymore.”
Jian Xingsui: “Well, since you taught me, even if I leave “Starlight”, I will never forget your kindness. So I’ll continue to consider you as a teacher-figure of sorts.”
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: “Really?”
Jian Xingsui nodded seriously: “Really!”
“I see…” Fu Jinxiao elongated the ending sound, and his slow voice was slightly teasing, “I honestly couldn’t see your action that supported this statement. You didn’t message me for over two months. You didn’t give me an update of your life. Is this just another of your sweet-talk?”
Jian Xingsui was shocked. He was afraid that Fu Jinxiao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: “No, no, I’m just afraid to disturb you!”
Fu Jinxiao looked at the anxious youth. He had red lips and white teeth, and his hair had really grown a lot. He looked delicate and beautiful. Now his cheeks were a little red because of his eagerness. He was cute and easy to bully, which really tempted him to tease him even further.
Wang Meican, who was watching on the sidelines: “…”
Can her artist be a human?
Was it so fun to play with a junior? Why didn’t she find out about this quirk before?
Wang Meican coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Fu Jinxiao received her signal. He raised his eyebrows, and finally restrained his teasing, his voice was low and magnetic, “I’m not angry, I’m just teasing you.”
Jian Xingsui breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Jinxiao saw that Jian Xingsui was not as nervous as he just saw him, and his expression became much more serious. When he became serious, his temperament was completely different from before. The actor decided to directly cut to the main topic, “Have you brought the contract?”
Jian Xingsui was startled, and hurriedly nodded. He took out the things in his arms, “I brought it.”
Wang Meican took it immediately and glanced at it. As a professional agent, she saw the problem at a glance, “This contract seems to be fine, but there are many hidden traps. If you are young and inexperienced, you can easily be tricked. You didn’t think so much at that time?”
Jian Xingsui nodded.
Wang Meican subconsciously glanced at Fu Jinxiao, wanting to know what the actor wanted for her to do. But the Film King didn’t answer, just sat there, flipping through the itinerary for the next few days in boredom, with a calm expression and no thoughts.
This also made the agent a little discouraged.
In fact, after working together for so many years, she still can’t see through Fu Jinxiao. His emotions were all over the place, while his thoughts ran deep; both which made it difficult for her to parse through. However, she used to be proud of his traits. After all, artists like him were resistant to the media’s ploy. But now she felt a little annoyed – after all these years, Fu Jinxiao was still a mystery even to her.
Wang Meican continued to tentatively say to Jian Xingsui, “Then we are terminating the contract early, which is equivalent to a breach of contract, so if we talk about liquidated damages at that time…”
Before Jian Xingsui could speak, Fu Jinxiao, who was next to him, closed his schedule, ” Liquidated damages?”
Wang Meican looked at him suspiciously.
Fu Jinxiao’s slender legs crossed, and a smile appeared on his gentle and refined face, “Is there a need to negotiate liquidated damages for terminating a contract with a small company like Bankrupt Entertainment?”
Wang Meican had a guess in her heart of what Fu Jinxiao implied, but she still hesitated. So, she asked for a clarification, “What do you mean?”
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, “You don’t know what kind of virtue this entertainment company has always relied on?”
In fact, this was an easy guess. This kind of unscrupulous agency most likely relied on the wine and sex business1he was talking about prostitution and unspoken rules. – they would pull their artist in this kind of “party”, or made money by taking the liquidated damages from some young artists. All kinds of shady activities have been done by them.
Wang Meican said, a little disbelief appeared in her eyes, “Then you are going to…”
“To deal with a bandit, you must use a bandit’s methods,” Fu Jinxiao sat gracefully, looking very reasonable, and he glanced at Jian Xingsui, “That agent and the upper management of that agency bullies you a lot, right?”
Jian Xingsui nodded slowly, still digesting what Fu Jinxiao implied.
The car just arrived downstairs of the agency building. Fu Jinxiao pushed open the door and walked out. The tall and handsome man leaned against the car door and glanced inside. His face has a bit of rogue-ish charm to it, which was different from his usual appearance. He said slowly, a ruffian grin slowly forming on his face, “This teacher of yours wouldn’t just yell for nothing. Let’s go, we’ll meet them and give them a taste of their own medicine.”
ML: I can finally return! Out with familial drama, it’s time for romance!
