Chapter 70 is about meeting someone you wish you had known sooner.

Director Xu hesitated for a moment, but still politely declined Manager Liu's idea of ​​having Lu Ziye appear in the next episode.

Seeing that there was no chance, Manager Liu stopped mentioning the matter and simply said politely to Director Xu, "Then we'll have to trouble you to take good care of Manxi in the future," before leaving with the assistant who had come with him.

As he was leaving, he passed by Luo Jiayin and gave her a rather provocative look.

Luo Jiayin didn't think he looked arrogant at all; instead, she found him rather comical and absurd.

After seeing off Sega's people, Director Xu was finally able to sit down and have a proper talk with Luo Jiayin about the collaboration.

"Teacher Luo Jia, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting here for so long," Director Xu said apologetically to Luo Jiayin.

"Not at all, Director Xu, you flatter me." Luo Jiayin shook her head with a smile.

Director Xu is a well-known director in the Chinese entertainment industry, and his current attitude towards Luo Jiayin is so polite that Luo Jiayin is somewhat flattered.

After all, she came to participate in "Hold On to the Villain's Script" because she wanted to have fun, get exposure, and make money.

Although Director Xu treated her very well, they weren't particularly familiar with each other, so she couldn't be presumptuous.

However, Luo Jiayin didn't want to deliberately humble herself like others, so she politely shook hands with Director Xu. Director Xu didn't think much of it and instead felt that Luo Jiayin was a really good young man.

"Shall we begin discussing cooperation?" Director Xu said.

“Okay.” Luo Jiayin nodded.

Director Xu placed the contract he had been holding onto the coffee table, then turned to the last page and handed it to Luo Jiayin.

"Ms. Luo Jia, please take a look at this contract first. If there are no problems, we can just sign it here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me," Director Xu said.

Luo Jiayin responded and looked down at the contract.

She carefully read through the contract, then looked at Director Xu with a slight smile.

"Director Xu, there's nothing wrong with the contract. Let's proceed according to what's stated in the contract," Luo Jiayin said calmly.

She looked at it very carefully, and there was indeed nothing wrong with the contract. Except for the fact that the contract's revenue sharing agreement with the program team was signed under the name of her company, Jingting Entertainment, the other clauses were basically in accordance with the program team's rules and industry practices.

This can be considered a tacit understanding between Jingting Entertainment and Luo Jiayin. A long time ago, President Wang told Luo Jiayin that everything related to her contract could be handled under the name of Jingting Entertainment, rather than under Luo Jiayin's personal name.

It means telling Luo Jiayin to go for it, and that the company will back you up no matter what happens.

Luo Jiayin handed the contract to Sister Mei, who also read it through.

After Mei Jie finished reading it, she and Luo Jiayin exchanged a glance and confirmed that there were no loopholes in the contract. Then Luo Jiayin looked at Director Xu.

"Director Xu, I'm fine."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Professor Luo Jia." Director Xu nodded, then asked, "I wonder if Professor Luo Jia has any other conditions that need to be proposed outside of the contract?"

Luo Jiayin thought for a moment, shook her head, and smiled:

"They're just ordinary people who come out to work, why make such a fuss?"

Director Xu couldn't help but smile knowingly upon hearing these somewhat impulsive words.

Next, Luo Jiayin readily signed her name on the contract, and she and Director Xu began discussing the collaboration.

Yu Jiu and Sister Mei, who were on the other side, also began to exchange information about the program with the relevant person in charge who came with Director Xu.

...

The group chatted happily, and before they knew it, most of the day had passed.

After their conversation, Director Xu was very impressed with Luo Jiayin, and even felt a sense of regret for not having met her sooner. He felt that the young man's temperament and personality were just right for him.

Unlike other popular celebrities these days, who either have their eyes on the top of their heads or are so arrogant they want to be all high and mighty.

Unlike those newcomers who are obsequious and subservient, never daring to speak and only knowing how to say "yes, yes, yes" repeatedly.

Luo Jia's generous and humble attitude won over Director Xu, who was somewhat reluctant to see her leave.

"I'll leave the rest of the program to Professor Luo Jia."

"Of course, Director Xu, you can rest assured," Luo Jiayin replied with a smile.

"Okay! Then I'll look forward to working with Professor Luo Jia!"

Director Xu laughed heartily and childlikely reached out to give Luo Jiayin a high five, which signified that they had reached an agreement.

Luo Jiayin smiled and shook hands with Director Xu, then waved goodbye to him.

After the group got into the company car, Sister Mei nervously began to speak.

"Luo Jia, you were a bit too casual when you were chatting with Director Xu just now."

When Luo Jiayin heard what Sister Mei said, she blinked and looked at Sister Mei innocently.

"What's wrong, Sister Mei?"

"Don't you know that Director Xu is a very famous variety show director in this industry? Getting on good terms with him will definitely be beneficial for you," Sister Mei said.

Luo Jiayin smiled and said, "I know."

"My little darling, you know that, yet you still spoke so casually. Things like 'the domestic fish are finished,' and 'wanting to take the black-red route to save the country indirectly,' made me so nervous." Sister Mei patted her chest, and you could tell she had been holding her breath the whole time.

"I just don't want to be so hypocritical. I think Director Xu is a really nice person, and we get along quite well, so I don't want to always be so fake," Luo Jiayin said, shrugging her shoulders.

Director Xu has a really good reputation in the industry, and many celebrities have praised him as the most "gentle" variety show director in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Luo Jiayin could tell that Director Xu truly appreciated her talent, which was why he strongly recommended her to the organizers and secured her the opportunity to be a regular guest on the show "Hold On to the Villain's Script".

Sister Mei looked at Luo Jiayin in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

She's managed so many artists in Jingting, yet she managed to meet such an interesting, charismatic, and thoughtful child as Luo Jia.

"Since you have your own ideas, then just do as you please. But in this circle, you should think twice before you speak or act, so as not to give anyone any leverage over you."

“Our reputation in Jingting is already like this. We have nothing to lose, so let them say whatever they want. But Luo Jia, you still have a bright future ahead of you, you know?” Sister Mei said.

Luo Jiayin smiled and said, "I know, thank you, Sister Mei."

"Okay, go back and get some rest, and review the script to prepare for the shoot in three days."
