Chapter 190 I Like You

After ending her conversation with Xingguang, Ji Wanqing glanced at the two files he had sent her.

Several well-known streamers have already signed contracts, both male and female, and of different types, ensuring that the fans they attract will not be duplicated.

It seems that Xingguang's sister has not only invested heavily in this new platform, but also done her homework.

After reading the first document, she opened the contract and carefully reviewed it.

The contract terms are clear and concise, and the profit-sharing ratio is indeed much more favorable than that of Boiling Point.

A three-year contract term is also within an acceptable range.

More importantly, the contract clearly states the promotional resources and support the platform will provide her with.

Finally, there's another clause: they'll help her pay the union's breach of contract penalty, which seems very sincere.

“The prospects look pretty good…” Ji Wanqing lay on the bed scrolling through her phone, pulling the blanket up over herself.

Putting aside personal relationships, from a purely career development perspective, the new platform seems like a worthwhile new starting point to try.

It has financial support, a clear plan, and a diverse lineup of streamers; all it lacks is time and popularity.

And she might be able to become a part of this accumulation process and grow together with the platform.

With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated and replied to Starlight.

Sunny Tuantuan: [I've read the contract, the terms are great, I have no problems. Please thank you for me, sister. I've decided to sign it.]

Starlight replied almost instantly, sending a string of cheering emojis.

[Great news, sis! I'll tell her right away! She'll be so happy! She'll handle the signing process and follow-up arrangements directly with you!]

[The company has already established a dedicated department, and it's estimated to be online in 1-2 months. From now on, we won't have to worry about what Boiling Point thinks anymore, so be happy, sister.]

During the days following the incident, Xingguang barely made any contact. Ji Wanqing assumed he was busy, but he surprised her with this unexpected turn of events.

Upon seeing these words, Ji Wanqing was deeply moved.

She sent Xingguang a cute emoji to end the conversation, then got up, washed up, and rushed to the hospital.

When Ji Wanqing arrived at the hospital, her mother was smiling happily, and beside the aunt who usually took care of her mother, there were two unexpected visitors sitting by the bedside.

Meng Chao and his mother.

"Wanqing is here?" Meng's mother was the first to see her standing at the door. Her face immediately lit up with a kind smile, and she stood up to greet her warmly.

Meng's mother had a good impression of Ji Wanqing from the first time she saw her. Now that her relationship with Ji's mother has been restored, she naturally finds Ji Wanqing more and more pleasing to the eye and hopes that she can become her daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Meng, what brings you here?" Ji Wanqing quickly concealed her surprise and put on a polite smile as she entered the ward. She first looked at her mother's complexion with concern, "Mom, how are you feeling today?"

"Much better, Dr. Pei said the recovery is going well." Ji's mother patted her daughter's hand and gestured to the Meng family mother and son beside her. "Your Aunt Meng and Meng Chao came to see me specially and brought a lot of things. They are too kind."

"Auntie, you're too kind. It's nothing." Meng Chao stood up at this moment, answered Ji's mother, and then his gaze fell on Ji Wanqing. A smile appeared on his lips, and when he saw Ji Wanqing, his eyebrows and eyes curved.

"I've been so busy since the surgery that I haven't had a chance to come and visit. Today I finally had some free time, and Xiao Chao insisted on coming over to see you." Mother Meng smiled at Mother Ji.

Madam Ji understood Madam Meng's look, and threw back the covers to get out of bed. "I'm so bored in the ward, I'm going to go for a walk in the garden with your Aunt Meng."

The caregiver immediately stood up and went to help her, saying, "Come on, I'm so bored too."

"Mom, let me go with you." Ji Wanqing also wanted to go forward.

Mrs. Ji waved her hands repeatedly, "We elders are chatting, what are you doing following along? I'm fine now, and I have your two aunts with me. I'll be back after a short stroll, so just stay put."

Since things had come to this point, Ji Wanqing couldn't follow any further and could only obediently sit back down.

She turned around and saw Meng Chao still smiling at her. Meng Chao took out an apple and waved it, "Shall I peel an apple for you?"

With three people gone, the ward suddenly felt a bit spacious and quiet.

Ji Wanqing sensed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she quickly waved her hand, "No need, I'm not a patient, you sit down and rest."

"Okay." Meng Chao didn't force her and put the apple back where it was.

The silence seemed even more awkward than speaking. Ji Wanqing looked at him and said, "Thank you and Auntie for coming to see my mother again today."

"Don't be so polite. My mom and your mom are best friends, and we'll inevitably be seeing each other more often in the future," Meng Chao said, his gaze still fixed intently on Ji Wanqing's face.

Ji Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she slightly shifted her eyes and casually started a conversation.

"Auntie, are you feeling alright?"

"She's great, even more energetic than me. She pushes me to work every day, so sometimes she can't come to the live stream." Meng Chao chuckled, leaning slightly towards Ji Wanqing, making her feel a little cramped.

He stopped beating around the bush, lowered his voice, and said with unmistakable seriousness, "Actually, the main reason I came today is to see you."

Ji Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him. "Looking at me? What's so interesting about me..."

"What you said in the live stream last night..." Meng Chao looked at her, his eyes filled with clear concern. "I... I'm very worried about you. If it really doesn't work out, then don't be a streamer anymore. Come to my company. You're so beautiful. You can be a star or a print model, it's up to you."

"Your company?" Ji Wanqing's eyes were full of doubt. She only knew that Meng Chao had gone to help his family, but she didn't know what industry he worked in.

"Yes, Shengying Media is a subsidiary of my family, and also the company I currently manage." Meng Chao nodded and explained to her earnestly.

Ji Wanqing's eyes widened, a thought flashing through her mind, and she asked in surprise, "Then Wei Lingling... so you were the one who terminated the contract?"

Meng Chao chuckled, "That kind of disgraced artist could be exposed at any time, so of course we won't continue using her."

Ji Wanqing knew that Wei Lingling's career had not been going well after the contract termination. It seemed that she had signed with a new company, but it was a very small one. She had heard that the company was quite shady, and she hadn't seen Wei Lingling make any waves.

But she only now realized that Meng Chao was the one who orchestrated the contract termination. "Well... no matter what, I still want to thank you."

The company has many ways to suppress the controversy and clear up the image if it wants to protect someone, but Meng Chao chose a different approach, most likely because of her.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, that's a minor matter." Meng Chao tentatively asked, "Which new platform are you talking about?"

"Well... it's a new platform that Starlight is preparing to launch, but it hasn't gone live yet," Ji Wanqing told the truth. "I already decided to sign with their platform this morning, so I can only disappoint you."

Meng Chao wasn't too concerned. "That kid Xingguang is good at making big things happen quietly, and he moves quickly."

Ji Wanqing gave a soft "hmm". Meng Chao looked at her with burning eyes, his emotions no longer concealed, the kind of focus a man has when looking at a woman he admires.

"Sunny, I thought I made it very clear that I like you, not just because of your skills or looks, but also because of your indomitable spirit. Even though you are under so much pressure, you always want to bring happiness to everyone."
