During an interview, he was distracted while playing with a ring and was caught by the host who asked: Xiaojing, I see that you wear this ring often and it appears on camera very often. Does it have any meaning?
He remembered that he said at the time: It was given to me by someone very important to me. It means a lot to me, so I want to wear it and let it witness my growth.
He dared to speak out and express his opinions. He was fearless and ignorant at that time.
"I like it. Haha, how much is it worth?"
"..." Xue Jin was silent. He hadn't expected Jing Zuohuai to have grown so much in the past few years and even set up his own studio.
Jing Zuohuai didn't want to continue the conversation. "It seems that our negotiation was not very pleasant. Let's forget it..."
"Wait a minute, give me a price. How much do you want?"
"Boss Xue, are you planning to renegotiate the deal?" Jing Zuohuai raised an eyebrow, his gaze changing from before. It was the look of a businessman assessing the value of his prey. His aura made Xue Jin shudder. He felt that Jing Zuohuai was now a stranger.
"Let's talk about it first. Anyway, you still like He Zhijin a little bit, right? Why not talk about it."
Jing Zuohuai thought about it, smiled and said slowly, "Eighty million."
"Oh?" He thought it was interesting and asked him to continue. He thought he would say around 30 million, but he didn't expect the price to be so high.
"Don't worry." Jing Zuohuai explained everything to him. "Doesn't He Zhijin still have one year left on his contract? I've done some research, and the boy band doesn't have much work to do this year. Besides endorsements and offline events, there's not much work for him either. And he has very little work to do."
"30 million to buy him a year."
"Then there's his own commercial value. According to current estimates, it's only around 30 million. Oh, maybe even less."
"I'll buy out the remaining 20 million." Jing Zuohuai looked at Xue Jin sharply. "After the buyout, it means he no longer belongs to Chiyang. He will not belong to you in the past or in the future."
"What do you mean?" Xue Jin frowned.
"What I mean is, after the contract is terminated, Chiyang cannot make any comments about He Zhijin that are detrimental to his future development, and you are not allowed to wantonly smear him. I know his character better than you do, and you, Chiyang, have done a lot of things to smear other artists. Therefore, such situations are not allowed."
"you!"
"Oh, by the way, is your company's funds unable to be transferred? The stock market has suffered serious losses recently. Oh, it seems that your sister-in-law doesn't know that you opened a bar... a brothel behind her back?" Jing Zuohuai couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically.
He is most annoyed by this kind of situation in the circle. People do such shameful things just to satisfy the parts of their body that they cannot control. The atmosphere in the circle is corrupted by these scum!
"You must have spent a lot of money on treatment after the accident. Aren't you short of money now?" He didn't want to mention this matter. He accidentally found it when searching for Chi Yang's information. He didn't expect to use it now.
"How about this? You give He Zhijin to me, and I'll give you the funds. It's a win-win situation. Think about it, how about that?"
Xue Jin looked embarrassed and looked at him in shock. How did he know?
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Xue. Harmony brings wealth. You investigate me and I investigate you too. It's mutual, and you won't suffer any loss." Jing Zuohuai smiled and patted his shoulder. "80 million, I'll buy him out. If you agree, we'll sign the contract. If you don't agree, we'll cancel it."
"I know other companies have approached you, and you've compared offers. They can't offer me the same conditions, so, Mr. Xue, please think about it carefully."
Jing Zuohuai played with his plain ring as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't been the one who was so arrogant just now. "I'll only give you ten seconds."
Jing Zuohuai, you're so good, now that you're strong enough, you're challenging me, right? What gives you the confidence as a newcomer to talk to me like that?
But 80 million... is quite appropriate. He Zhijin has no commercial value now. If he makes a lot of money, he can still make a small profit.
Although I don't like his behavior, the current situation is favorable to me. As for the information, who can find out about Chi Yang with this newcomer?
I haven’t figured out the things in my own studio yet, so I don’t believe I can walk by the river without getting my shoes wet!
Jing Zuhuai, don't get too complacent. Those in this business are always clean. Hide your tail well and don't let me catch you, or I'll give you a good beating!
"three."
"Okay, since you're so sincere, let's sign it. I'll consider it a favor for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Xue." Jing Zuohuai smiled. "Mr. Xue is indeed a man who can accomplish great things. He is always quick and efficient in his work."
"After the contract is signed, I will give you 30 million first. Later, when you finish signing the contract with He Zhijin, I will transfer the remaining 50 million to you." Jing Zuohuai paused, "For work considerations, you can send him to me after he finishes the work he is doing."
“…” Damn, this was arranged clearly for him.
"If you have no objection, then..." Jing Zuohuai extended his hand and shook hands with him in a friendly manner. "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Xue."
"It's a pleasure working with you." He gritted his teeth.
Jing Zuohuai, right? Fine! I'll remember you! You'd better walk your path carefully from now on, and don't let me find any of your tricks. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can never get back on your feet again!
Jing Zuohuai declined the secretary's offer to see him off and returned to the underground garage on his own. He couldn't stop his anger until he got into the car.
What right did Xue Jin have to say that about He Zhijin! If it weren't for him, He Zhijin would have become one of the best actors in the entertainment industry by now. What qualifications did he have? How dare he say that about him!
He took a cigarette from the passenger seat handcuffs and tried to light it, but his hands were shaking with anger and irritation and he couldn't light it.
"Fuck!" He threw himself onto the passenger seat dejectedly and buried his head in the steering wheel.
He had just said something quite outrageous, actually using his commercial value to negotiate with Chi Yang. This was his most disgusting method, but it also helped him win the negotiation.
Moreover, he said that he had no commercial value. How could he be compared with money? How could he say such a thing!
He Zhijin clearly had a bright future! He clearly could, clearly could become a role model in the entertainment industry, and he clearly could win all the gold awards.
Jing Zuohuai deeply hated himself for being like this.
He Zhijin will come to the studio in a few days.
As for funds... Jing Zuohuai silently evaluated the funds in his hands.
Enough, enough.
Now is not the time to be discouraged, he still has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the studio.
This time, he can protect the people he cherishes!
