Shi Xi's eyes darted around, her cheeks flushed strangely. "No."

Xie Yunzhou seemed to realize something and explained, "You stay here and take a room."

He wanted to have something happen between him and Shi Xi as soon as possible.

But the situation doesn't allow it.

Shi Xi realized she had misunderstood, but stubbornly said, "Xiao Tian is waiting for me outside. I'm leaving."

They braved the heavy snow to deliver the gifts.

She had no intention of giving herself away too!

After seeing Shi Xi off, Xie Yunzhou placed the candles in his bedroom.

The sandalwood scent mingled with a faint floral fragrance, as if Shi Xi were right beside him.

Xie Yunzhou, who has always had trouble sleeping, had a good and peaceful sleep.

Kuaixue Entertainment.

Shi Xi looked at the bespectacled, unremarkable-looking man in front of her and said, "Mr. Lü, this should be our first formal meeting, right?"

Lü Ming is Nan Wan's agent; the two have met at work.

But we never had any contact.

“I’ve been keeping an eye on Miss Shi,” Lu Ming said calmly.

"And then try every means to smear and frame me?" Shi Xi added the last sentence.

Lü Ming did not deny it, saying, "It's normal behavior in the industry."

Paid articles to discredit, smear, and praise one while belittling another...

This kind of tactic is indeed normal practice in the entertainment industry.

"As far as I know, you've been Nan Wan's manager since her debut; you're the one who made her famous," Shi Xi said slowly. "Why do you want to switch agencies now?"

“Nan Wan’s current achievements are the result of her own hard work,” Lu Ming said modestly. “Although Kuai Xue is a small entertainment company, it has a bright future, so I want to change environments and start over.”

Shi Xi stared into his eyes.

Lu Ming showed no fear and met Shi Xi's gaze.

After a few dozen seconds, Shi Xi said, "Kuai Xue is a small company and can't offer you a high base salary."

If you want to achieve results, you need to mentor newcomers and help them achieve results yourself.

Take a look at this contract. If you can accept it, then sign it.

Lü Ming took the contract and looked at it carefully.

Seeing that he was reading the contract almost word by word, Shi Xi said, "Take your time reading it. I'll go out for a bit."

"good."

After leaving the conference room, Shi Xi went to find Han Chuan.

Han Chuan asked, "You really want to use him?"

Shi Xi seemed to be deep in thought, "The fact that he can elevate Nan Wan is enough to show that he has the ability and the means."

Let's wait and see. Let him mentor two newcomers. Hey, I remember you signed a few new artists a while ago, didn't you?

Han Chuan reluctantly said, "They are all good seedlings that I picked out."

"Can you bring them all?" Shi Xi asked bluntly.

"..."

Shi Xi thought of something and asked, "How about we let him take Lou Lou?"

Lou Rui Cong's presence often gave Han Chuan a headache.

“Give him two newcomers.” Han Chuan led Shi Xi to the glass wall of the dance studio, raised his chin slightly, and said magnanimously, “These are some trainees who are going to be sent to the talent show. I can let him choose two.”

"Let him choose? Aren't you afraid he'll pick the person you want to bring?" Shi Xi didn't expect Han Chuan to be so magnanimous.

"The people I brought aren't inside," Han Chuan said calmly.

Shi Xi: ...

"Huh? That girl with pigtails?" Shi Xi stared at one of the girls, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "Why does she look so familiar?"

"Doesn't it look a lot like you?" Han Chuan asked directly.

Shi Xi suddenly realized, "Ah, yes, the eyes are somewhat similar."

Han Chuan said with disdain, "I only signed her because I felt sorry for her and her eyes looked a bit like yours."

"Soft-hearted?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled.

"She's not formally trained, and she has no singing or dancing skills. She's been studying for a month, but hasn't made any progress." Han Chuan shook his head, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with the person.
