At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, Xue Chengcheng’s hand shook, almost dropping the phone to the ground. It displayed an unknown number. Xue Chengcheng thought it was a harassment call and instinctively hung up, but the other party quickly called back. So persistent, it didn’t seem like a promotional call. After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call. "Is this Miss Xue Chengcheng?" A gentle male voice came from the phone, giving a sense of familiarity and instinctively dispelling the tension in her heart. "Yes, may I ask who this is?" "Hello Miss Xue, I am Gu Cheng, an agent from Xinghuang Entertainment. May I ask if you are willing to consider further development with our company? If you have a specific intention, we can arrange a time for detailed discussions. You don’t need to worry about the penalty fees and negotiations with your current signed company; our company will handle everything." Xinghuang Entertainment...the country’s largest entertainment company, far better than Donghui Entertainment by many folds. Especially compared to a company mired in such a big scandal, she was now stuck deeper and deeper in the mire, never thinking a pie would fall from the sky. After the excitement, she calmed down; pies falling from the sky could also be a deadly trap. "Why did you choose me?" It wasn’t that she lacked confidence in herself, but now she had to be cautious. The person on the other end laughed, "A company as big as ours, what does Miss Xue think we are after?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on Nove1Fire.net Yes, what after? Xinghuang had many stars more beautiful and capable than her. But then the other party continued, "We are after your potential and the greater benefits you can bring to our company. Does this explanation satisfy you, Miss Xue?" It is best for fledgling stars to sign with a management company. Although the deductions were significant, if the company decided to promote you, all resources would be inclined towards you alone. This was much better than struggling outside alone. After stabilizing her status and popularity, she could then choose to terminate the contract and set up her studio, that’s when the real money comes in. Xue Chengcheng immediately made up her mind, "Okay, I agree. When do we meet?" She was really tired of this life of shooting cheap commercials every day and rushing around to third-rate gigs; this was not the life she wanted. As long as she could get into Xinghuang Entertainment, she was willing to do anything. After hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little. He initially had high hopes for Kang Jinxian. The potential of this woman was much greater than that of Xue Chengcheng. Therefore, he had chosen Kang Jinxian earlier, preparing to make her the next queen of the music industry. Who knew this woman would be so disappointing, getting involved in such a big scandal? He could only blame himself for misjudging her back then. Because of this, he was criticized by some company executives. Helplessly, he had to select a new batch of talents. After rounds of selections, his eyes finally fell on Xue Chengcheng. Although her voice was not as good as Kang Jinxian’s, this woman had strong versatility; she could develop comprehensively in film, television, and music. More importantly, after Donghui Entertainment’s scandal, she was the only unscathed female star in the company. This alone proved that this woman was smart, and what he needed was not a puppet but a smart person who had her own thoughts. Such a person could go far in the entertainment industry. Moreover, Su Ye also recommended Xue Chengcheng to him, and her judgment should be reliable... In the middle of the night, the rain grew heavier, resulting in a torrential downpour. Most of the troublemakers had left, leaving seven or eight people who were determined to stay and wouldn’t leave until they got their money. At this moment, the manor’s gates slowly opened, and a black car drove out. Several people quickly blocked the car, suicidally saying, "Get out of the car." The back door opened, and a man in his fifties or sixties, holding a black umbrella, stepped out. The few people immediately rushed over, "Where is your Miss? Let her come out." Uncle Feng raised his hand to calm everyone, helplessly saying, "Don’t be agitated, hear me out." The man leading the group, in his thirties with sharp eyes, squinted at him, "Who are you?" Uncle Feng said, "I am the butler of the Ji Family. My surname is Feng, you may call me Old Feng or Uncle Feng. I am here on behalf of our Miss. She asked me to tell you all that she will not shirk any responsibility she should bear. She hopes everyone can give her a little more time. The rain is getting heavier now, please come inside the car to shelter. She has prepared a late-night snack for everyone..." "Spit, we don’t want your fake kindness. Your Miss is not a good person. If you have the guts, sell this manor to repay the money... Otherwise, I will fight you to the end." The leading man said viciously.
