The doorbell rang, and Jin Shu opened the door to find two men and a woman standing outside.

Jiang Fang: "Wow, that's amazing! This whole floor is yours? These huge floor-to-ceiling windows, this huge desk, wow, it's so impressive!"

Mai Nan: "Little Jin, it's been so long! I've missed you so much! I was wondering why you'd been so quiet lately, turns out you've been busy with this."

Yu Lele: "This venue must cost a lot of money, our Xiaojin is rich now! How much is the rent for a year? At least 150 yuan."

The group of friends, who were already quite familiar with each other, started wandering around. Jiang Fang sat on a chair in front of the French windows, turning around and looking at everything around her.

"That's good, but the location is a bit out of the way. I'll have someone send you a few lucky bamboo plants later, so you can grow more."

Jin Shu brought them tea.

Upon seeing the tea, Jiang Fang immediately stood up from her chair, hurriedly sat down, and stared at the unmarked tea canister in Jin Shu's hand, its two sides gleaming.

"The annual rent for this floor is 1.5 million, but I have some connections with the boss, so he charged me 700,000 a year."

Mai Nan and Yu Lele both came over and sat down.

Mai Nan: "Little Jin has even wider connections than us. How close must they be to give you such a drastic discount?"

Jin Shu smiled, lowered her eyes to brew tea, and the purple clay teapot spun nimbly in her hands. The whole tea-washing action was skillful and smooth, and the whole scene was a feast for the eyes.

"The CEO of an entertainment company had some public relations problems before, and I happened to be there, so I helped him out."

Jiang Fang: "What do you mean by 'this little bit of busyness'?"

Jin Shu poured out the first brew of tea and poured in a second pot.

"His daughter wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but she was tricked by someone, and I just happened to give her a heads-up."

"Holy crap, you mean Zhao... You actually have a connection with him? No wonder, such a stingy person would give you such a cheap price."

Mai Nan: "I've also heard about his daughter's situation. If it weren't for timely and effective public relations, his daughter would never be able to hold her head up in public again."

In this industry, one wrong step leads to another, and once you have a scandal, you can never move forward cleanly.

Xiao Jin has done us a huge favor, so giving him a discount is only fair! We don't need to be overly grateful; it's all rightfully ours!

After he finished speaking, the first pot of tea was ready.

Jiang Fang held the cup, her hands trembling with excitement, and then took a sip with great relish.

"Wow—this is the taste..."

Jiang Fang's tone was exaggerated.

"Ever since I had tea here once, I've never been able to drink any of the tea from other shops."

It's so pure and fragrant! I'll never forget this taste!

The other two men didn't drink tea, but even as laymen, they could tell that this pot of tea was different from others.

Because after drinking it, I felt refreshed and my mind became exceptionally clear.

"Little Jin, sell me some!"

Jiang Fang was sincere.

Jin Shu smiled, got up, and went to the shelf behind her to take a small jar.

"Give."

Jiang Fang waved her hands repeatedly upon seeing this.

"No way, forget it. I'll pay for it. Even brothers keep clear accounts. I've already drunk so much of your tea for nothing."

"This tea was specially brewed for you. You have a weak spleen and excessive liver fire, so drinking ordinary tea would be bad for your health."

I added Poria cocos powder and rootless water when I was frying this tea; it's good for your health.

"Made especially for me?"

Jiang Fang carefully accepted the tea. This woman, who had seen many storms, was moved like a little girl at this moment, and even stammered a bit when she spoke.

"Xiao Jin...you..."

"You helped me a lot back then, so this is nothing as a friend. If we're too polite, it will hurt our feelings."

Jiang Fang held the tea in her hands with great care, stroking it again and again.

Upon seeing this, Mai Nan and Yu Lele, who were standing nearby, immediately couldn't sit still.

Mai Nan: "Sister Fang is so lucky! She loves tea and even met a tea-frying expert like Xiao Jin! She's truly blessed!"

Yu Lele: "I don't care, I want it!"

Jiang Fang glared at the two of them.

"You don't even know how to drink it, what do you want? It's a waste of good stuff!"

"So what if I don't know how to drink it? As long as it's good for my health, I can drink it every day!"

"How dare you say that to me? How many meals has Xiao Jin cooked for you? How many meals have you eaten for free? How many pounds have you gained since you met Jin Shu?"

This hit Yu Lele's weak spot perfectly.

He looked down at his stomach and sighed.

"Sigh... I can bear the burden of love. By the way, Xiao Jin, when are we eating? I only ate two cucumbers today for this meal, which is even more vegetarian than what celebrities eat!"

"The dishes are ready. Please sit down and have some tea. I'll start cooking now."

Yu Lele: "I'll help!"

After dinner, the four of them sat on the carpet, with Jiang Fang holding Jin Shu's arm affectionately.

"I think you should have gone solo a long time ago. It's such a waste to have such good opportunities to be an assistant to an artist."

Don't worry about anything now. Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help in the future!

Mai Nan: "Let's not talk about these superficial things. You want to be an agent, right? The most important thing is to recruit artists, but you don't have much fame right now, so you can only start by training junior artists."

Jiang Fang: "Yes, that's right. Let's build a good reputation first."

At this moment, Yu Lele suddenly sat up.

"Didn't they just have a show a while ago called Kingboy? I remember there was a pretty good guy on it, Jiang Huaizhi. Xiao Jin could keep an eye on him and sign him."

"Huai Zhi? Why does that name sound so much like the name of a male protagonist in a novel? Hahahaha."

Jiang Fang does know how to make sarcastic remarks.

But it is also quite accurate.

Jin Shu knew this name in her dream. When she was experiencing her tragic life, many images flashed before her eyes, and this name was one of them.

He seemed to have a troubled life. Later, he was signed by Zhao Yiran. After years of silence, he finally made a breakthrough and became the most underestimated Best Actor.

He lived a rather obscure life for the first half of his life.

He lived a brilliant and dazzling life in his later years.

If life were truly a novel with Zhao Yiran as the protagonist, then Jiang Huaizhi would be the male protagonist of the latter half.

He silently and steadfastly protected Zhao Yiran for decades, and their fate began after they met at the peak of their relationship.

"This person is actually alright. He's not particularly stunning in appearance, but he's pleasing to the eye. And I've heard he's quite hardworking. Right now, he's not considered a strong contender for debut, so you have a chance if you want to sign him."

Having many friends in the industry has its advantages, especially since all three of them are agents, giving them a keen eye for talent.

"If we're optimistic about something, others are probably optimistic about it too, so act quickly and don't hesitate."

"Okay, I understand."

Jin Shu also had plans.

Jianghuai is indeed quite good; it's worth considering.
