Chapter 166 was rejected.

"Say that again? Are you sure you don't want this role?"

Whether it was shock or anger, Manager Sun raised his voice by eight octaves.

Well, with this level of skill, Lin Heisei really has the nerve to send such a scoundrel to the Jingting to discuss this matter.

Even Comrade Lao Wang is much more composed than this guy.

Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow, picked at her ear twice with her little finger, and looked at Manager Sun with a hint of amusement.

I said, there's absolutely no need for that.

"What? I can't refuse?"

"Well……"

Manager Sun was speechless when asked the question.

Of course, Luo Jia could refuse, and he was extremely capable of doing so.

After all, they belong to Jingting Entertainment. They can choose whether to act or not, as the contract is with Jingting. Sega can't force artists from other companies to act in or not act in any particular way.

However, Luo Jia's decisive rejection of the role was somewhat unexpected for Manager Sun.

“Teacher Luo Jia, this role is very rare. It would be of great help to both yourself and the development of Jingting. Are you really going to give up this opportunity?” Manager Sun asked with some doubt.

Luo Jiayin smiled but did not reply.

Manager Sun offered a few more words of advice, but to no avail.

Since Luo Jia had already made his point, Manager Sun couldn't very well continue to stubbornly stay.

After all, being rejected by someone he had always looked down on made Manager Sun feel somewhat embarrassed.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

After Manager Sun left, Luo Jiayin's eyes instantly turned cold.

Luo Jiayin rejected such good resources from Sega for no other reason than simply disliking Sega and disliking Manager Sun's arrogant attitude.

She loathed Sega's domineering attitude, its contemptuous attitude towards people, and everyone in the company, inside and out.

Well... let's leave Gu Yishen out of the question.

Mr. Wang looked at Luo Jiayin and sighed. Although he understood Luo Jiayin's reasons for rejecting Sega, he still felt a little sorry for him for losing such a good opportunity.

Luo Jia has been in their realm for so long, and he has watched Luo Jia go from an unknown nobody to what he is today.

Everyone thinks that Luo Jia became an overnight sensation, but the hard work and sweat he put in are unimaginable to others.

Sega said it was all good, giving Luo Jia the best roles, but even President Wang could sense a hint of contempt in the attitude of that agent, Sun.

If even a small-time agent is like this, what about Lin Pingcheng?

Mr. Wang was well aware that Sega had previously looked down on small entertainment companies like Jingting.

Sega treated Loka like this, so why should Loka be subservient to them?

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Wang felt somewhat relieved and no longer felt sorry for Luo Jia losing such an opportunity.

Everyone knew Luo Jiayin's temperament, so neither President Wang nor Yu Jiu said much. No one advised Luo Jiayin to seize the opportunity and reconsider. Instead, they all supported Luo Jiayin in turning down the TV series.

To avoid affecting her mood, President Wang even went to great lengths to "gently" comfort Luo Jiayin.

Luo Jiayin didn't think anything of it, and seeing her relieved attitude, President Wang didn't say anything more.

A short while later, Sister Mei returned, looking travel-worn, with a pleasant smile on her face.

As soon as she entered the office, she eagerly explained the situation to Luo Jiayin and President Wang, saying that she had already reached an agreement with the organizers of "The Future Child".

It's basically confirmed that Luo Jiayin will attend as a special guest judge. Now we just need to wait for them to draft the contract in the next couple of days. After signing, we can wait for the organizer to notify us to prepare for the recording of the program.

...

Let's go back to Manager Sun's side.

Lin Hei-cheng waited confidently for the good news that Agent Sun would bring back, and had even begun to arrange for the production crew to be ready.

He believed that as long as Luo Jia came, he would be able to salvage Lin Manxi's reputation and even boost her popularity to new heights.

In fact, he never expected that Luo Jia would refuse such a thing.

As a result, not long after Lin Heicheng arranged for the crew to leave, Manager Sun rushed back, his face showing undisguised embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Why are you acting like this? Sit down and talk," Lin Heishi asked, frowning.

Manager Sun quietly placed the proposal in her hand on Lin Heping's desk.

"President Lin, this Luo Jia, he actually won't take on our TV series!" As soon as Manager Sun sat down, he complained to Lin Heping with a worried look on his face.

"He declined our invitation, saying he felt he wasn't suitable for the role and that we should find someone else!"

"What?! Luo Jia said that?"

Upon hearing what Manager Sun said, Lin Heisei suddenly raised his head and stared at Manager Sun with a serious expression.

"A third-rate star from a bankrupt company dares to refuse Sega?!" Lin Heisei said through gritted teeth.

Sega Entertainment is one of the top entertainment groups in China. When casting for their new films, they choose artists from outside the company. Artists from every entertainment company would fight tooth and nail to get a role, even if it's just an insignificant supporting character.

Koloka and Jingting Entertainment just rejected them so easily?!

Luo Jia is ungrateful. What, is that idiot Wang Lehan from Jingting also brainless?

Regardless of the company's interests, they let their artists act recklessly according to their own whims!

No wonder that Broken Realm Court always looks like it's about to collapse!

"President Lin, you have no idea. After I arrived at Jingting, I spoke to them in a very polite manner, but that Luo Jia said he didn't care about Sega's films at all, nor did he want to work with Sega's actors, especially..."

Manager Sun glanced up at Lin Heping: "Especially Miss Manxi..."

While lying, Sun was also feeling uneasy. He was afraid that Lin Pingcheng would be angry and scold him for his poor performance, so he could only desperately try to extricate himself from the situation and blame Luo Jiayin, saying that Luo Jiayin was ungrateful.

Lin Heisheng was definitely angry; he genuinely felt that Luo Jia was being incredibly tactless.

Who is Sega anyway? They took the initiative to invite him, and he still refused.

However, Lin Heicheng thought about it again and realized that it made sense. He knew Luo Jia to some extent; Luo Jia was a man with high aspirations.

Especially after Lin Manxi's incident, it seems there's some truth to her reluctance.
