After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows
Chapter 520 - 511: This is the Rhythm to Strongly Promote

Chapter 520: Chapter 511: This is the Rhythm to Strongly Promote

Under the gaze of the four pairs of eyes present, Shao Yifeng’s face visibly darkened several shades.

"Are you questioning me?"

The words carried a clear displeasure, and the look in his eyes was as if it had been iced. Li Yuwen, whose jealousy was almost making her head overheat, suddenly felt a chill, opened her mouth but couldn’t get a word out at first.

By the time she finally regained her ability to speak, Shao Yifeng had already lost interest in looking at her unpleasant face, and turned to Jiang Lingxi and Tong Yue with a pleasant smile, gesturing to the private meeting area on the side, "It’s quiet over there, why don’t you sit there and watch, I’ll ask my secretary to bring you something to drink."

Li Yuwen watched helplessly as Jiang Lingxi took the S-level contract and sat down on the leather sofa, shortly after which Shao’s chief secretary walked in from outside with a smile, bringing two cups of coffee.

Such treatment, even when Jing Huai starred in that hit period drama, he was not treated so carefully.

She felt as if the big stone that had been pressing on her heart for days suddenly doubled in weight, making it hard for her to stand upright.

She suddenly grabbed Jing Huai’s sleeve like clutching at a lifeline, "Jing Huai, Jing Huai, you can’t be so impulsive, think about how much effort you’ve put in to get here, you’re still so young, how can you give up so quickly? Come, let’s go out and find a place to talk properly, you know I’ve always thought highly of you!"

Jing Huai was indeed caught off guard and pulled by her, but upon hearing about his ’efforts’, he recalled those unbearable past events, and his expression turned as if he’d swallowed a fly, disgusted to the core.

He heartlessly shook off her hand, "Sister Wen, this should be the last time I call you that. Speaking of which, you were the one who told me it was okay to take shortcuts when things were tough. If it weren’t for those words of yours, I might still be a nobody, but at least I wouldn’t have ended up like this today."

Li Yuwen met Jing Huai’s eyes and saw the resentment there, instantly feeling like she’d been immobilized, her mind went blank.

Were those words wrong?

Several agents she knew had said even more outrageous things to their artists during gatherings.

What was wrong with what she said, was it necessary to bring it up in front of Mr. Shao now?

Among those present, only Jing Huai knew best what he had done in pursuit of shortcuts.

But something as grave as almost killing someone, he wouldn’t and didn’t dare to say it out loud, as long as he still had any sense.

Even though Xu Qingmei had reappeared in the public eye, looking as if she’d never been seriously injured.

But precisely because of this bizarre abnormality, he dared not speak of it.

Now, he was left with only one thought, to terminate the contract, and before he left, with the help of the equally mysterious Mr. Shen, he wanted to thoroughly trick Xu Qingmei to vent his anger, then take the remaining money and flee as far as possible, never appearing under Xu Qingmei’s watch again.

Jiang Lingxi took a sip of coffee and turned to look at the two still arguing.

She knew about Jing Huai being taken to Lu Ye’s research institute as a research subject, and it was under Shen Yunqing’s orders.

And Shen Yunqing also knew about her coming to the company today to renew the contract.

She was here to sign an upgraded contract, while Jing Huai, who once schemed against her, was here to terminate his contract.

Was it a coincidence?

Or was it arranged by someone on purpose?

Anyway, she found it quite satisfying to watch.

"Xiaoxi, come take a look at the terms on this page, hiss, it’s so generous, it must be S+ level, right?"

Jiang Lingxi heard Tong Yue’s excited yet controlled voice, withdrew her gaze, and looked at the contract pushed over to her.

The terms were written clearly.

{Annual recommendation of one S+ level drama, two S level drama leads, choice of roles in five A-level platform productions.}

{For variety shows, one regular guest spot on a national TV show, guest appearances on two popular station shows, and good performance could lead to extended participation, platform shows allow free selection.}

{Endorsements...}

Tong Yue had already carefully looked through it but came over to see it again with Jiang Lingxi, thinking he couldn’t get enough of it, and continued to whisper to his artist, "This, no way a hundred C-level contracts can match this one sheet of paper. It’s much better than I expected. Although our Mr. Shao has the backing of the Shao Group, taking these resources still requires a lot of effort. Just based on this contract, Mr. Shao truly sees great potential in you and intends to push you hard this time!"

Jiang Lingxi rubbed her slightly itchy ear and nodded, "It’s indeed very generous."

Generous enough to make her wonder if the S-level contract had any additional points because of ’Shen Yunqing’.

After all, she was very clear about her current fame and influence.

Although she was holding a female lead role in a big production, it hadn’t aired yet, and all she could see online were occasional teaser clips released to warm up the show.

Her performances in several variety shows indeed had a positive response, but none of those shows were huge hits, whether in travel, survival, or traditional culture, they were relatively niche.

Overall, her greatest increase in fans and biggest gain still came from helping Yun Chan at a fashion rescue show by chance, securing the brand ambassador role for Yun and becoming the spokesperson for Shanyue Zhiheng, as well as receiving an invitation to an international fashion ceremony from Mr. Carlo.

If it were after the explosive airing of "Yuan Zhao Empress", and then she received this S-level contract, she wouldn’t think much of it.

But now, as Tong Yue said, Shao Yifeng seemed too optimistic about her.

It was as if the intention to support her unreservedly was completely transparent.

"So is there anything you’re not satisfied with? I’ve gone through it twice and couldn’t find a single thing. The split is seventy-thirty, even after taxes, and the contract term is only filled for three years, which is the minimum."

Jiang Lingxi pondered a bit, "If I follow the resources provided here, won’t I be working non-stop for the upcoming year?"

This seems even worse than when she was an emperor in her past life.

When she was an emperor, she even gave holidays for herself and her ministers during festivals, plus a rest day every ten days.

But now, was this a year-round non-stop pace?

Tong Yue: "...Do you know what stars fear the most?"

"What?"

"Idleness. No work and nothing to do, just watching others flourish on various variety shows, movies, and TV, while you sit at home bored stiff."

"Even when I’m idle, I have things to do. You forgot, I’m also preparing for college."

Tong Yue: "...Damn, I really forgot about that!"

Blame it on the contract being so tempting!
