Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Establishing a Team

Fortunately, no one else was as outrageous as Tony. They came up to her, extended their hand, and after a handshake, said, "Hello Jinxia, I am your personal fitness trainer — Bruce."

"Hello Jinxia, I am your exclusive assistant — Cheng Xiaohua."

"Hello Jinxia, I am your personal financial advisor and legal consultant — Luo Zhanming."

With the introduction of the last exclusive member, Zhang Dayou, who was her marketing and crisis public relations consultant, Jinxia had now met all six members of the team, including her agent, Luo You.

He Jinxia looked at the six people standing in front of her, her lips slightly parted, unsure of what to say.

Luo You looked at her with a smile full of encouragement, saying, "Don’t be nervous, Jinxia. We are all in one team. This is the treatment you deserve after signing the Quasi-A-level contract. As your fame increases, the team will also grow stronger. This is just the beginning."

He Jinxia swallowed, took a deep breath, and with her heart pounding too fast in her chest, she said calmly, "Can I say that I am overwhelmed?"

The others looked at each other and said in unison, "It shows!"

He Jinxia’s expression was slightly embarrassed: "..."

"Alright, now that introductions are over, it’s time to discuss business," Luo You said, turning the conversation sharply, "Let’s start by discussing the basic issue of salary."

Having just met the team members, Luo You immediately brought up the most glaring and obvious conflict, giving He Jinxia no time to adjust.

Some team members glanced at He Jinxia’s expression and noticed that she had a slight smile, very calm, as if she was already aware of the issues raised by Luo You.

But that should be impossible; if she really knew, she wouldn’t have been so shocked when she first walked in.

This posture of He Jinxia made the other team members reassess her, boosting their confidence in her.

"Everyone here is a senior talent from the company’s talent pool. We are gathered here with one goal — to help He Jinxia become a top star within three years.

Upon achieving this goal, everyone here can draw ten percent of the net profit from all of He Jinxia’s engagements as an annual bonus, and the basic salary will be adjusted yearly to give everyone the best treatment within He Jinxia’s capacity," Luo You paused, looking up at He Jinxia, and said solemnly, "Jinxia, do you have any comments on the statements I’ve made?"

He Jinxia cast her eyes down and thought for a moment, her slender, jade-like fingers tapping lightly on the table. After a while, she raised her head and looked around at everyone present, and said sternly, "I, have, no, objections!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Luo You.

They were willing to sign comprehensive confidentiality agreements, and even lower their own worth to join He Jinxia’s team because they were betting on He Jinxia becoming a first-tier star within three years!

If the bet paid off, they would be carefree after three years, enjoying the fruits of their labor; if they lost, the team would disband, but with their experience as senior talents, they would still be able to find good jobs elsewhere.

Luo You, with his keen eye for selecting people, had gathered individuals who all carried a gene named adventure in their bodies. Everyone was eager to bet on He Jinxia’s future.

"OK, let’s start signing the contracts. I’ve already had the contract notarized by a lawyer. If anyone leaks the contents of the contract or betrays He Jinxia during their time on the team, they will face criminal responsibilities, and that means imprisonment," Luo You said.

He Jinxia wasn’t the first to flip open the contract, but she was the first to sign her name in the contract without even looking, decisively and neatly.

She looked around at everyone, smiled faintly, and her crisp, pleasant voice conveyed a sense of calm steadfastness, "I trust in everyone’s capabilities, and I trust in myself as well. In the next three years, please advise me more, and I wish us a pleasant collaboration!"

Seeing her like this, everyone else was stirred, and they also signed their names one after another.

"I wish us a pleasant collaboration!"—they said in unison.

The team was officially established, and subsequently, Zhang Dayou started discussing with the others the follow-up crisis public relations handling of the "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People" drama crew.

He Jinxia listened attentively, and even if she didn’t quite understand some things, at least her attitude was right.

Seeing her like this, everyone else felt even more stable.

Top talents really made a difference; with just a few words, they set how they would communicate with the drama crew about breach of contract and other matters, and how to secure the maximum rights for He Jinxia.

The "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People" drama crew had a car accident at the press conference, damaging He Jinxia’s reputation and public image. He Jinxia could fully hold the crew accountable or even leave the crew unconditionally.

However, if she really left the play, it would be somewhat counterproductive, wasting the strength He Jinxia could bring to save the situation. Luo You suggested negotiating with the crew to increase her value.

This idea was unanimously approved by the team members, and after further discussion for a while, the meeting officially ended.

After the meeting, He Jinxia communicated with every member of the team individually, and she was the last to leave the meeting room.

As she walked out, she immediately saw Luo You and Zhang Dayou who had been waiting in the hallway. He Jinxia let go of the smile she had maintained since entering the meeting room and said with a wry face,

"Brother Luo, you really gave me a big ’gift’ today!"

She looked down at the costume she was wearing and said helplessly, "Signing contracts and officially forming a team is such an important event, and you didn’t even hint at it beforehand, but how could you not even give me time to change clothes?"

Luo You laughed heartily, "That’s really my fault, I should have taken you to the dressing room first instead of coming directly to the meeting room. It was just my nervousness; I forgot about it for a moment."

He Jinxia looked at him speechlessly, highly doubting the truth of his statement.

Having the audacity to hide such a major event from her, with contracts all prepared—a task clearly not achievable in just a day or two—was he really just nervous at the last minute?

He Jinxia thought it over and reluctantly accepted this excuse in her heart.

"Alright, let’s not stand here talking in the hallway. Since you have no appointments right now, let’s go out for a meal. Jinxia, you go change first; we’ll wait for you at the company’s entrance. This is the casual outfit Tony prepared for you today."

Zhang Dayou handed over the bag, which He Jinxia took, slightly tilting her head as she pondered, then said, "Okay, I’ve always wanted to treat Brother Da You to a meal. You guys pick the place. I’ll pay for this meal."

Just as Zhang Dayou was about to say something, He Jinxia quickly added with a beaming smile, "Brother Luo, Brother Da You, although Jinxia is a bit poor, I can still afford a meal."

With that said, what more could Zhang Dayou say?

To decline would be to disrespect He Jinxia.
