Chapter 860 Seen by the Agent
Lin Tan's hands suddenly turned cold.
She didn't dare to gamble.
If she loses, Huo Sinian will really keep her under house arrest for life.
"I won't go back to Jingzhou with you." Lin Tan stated her position, but dared not completely anger him. "I have my own career to attend to. If you force me, I'll fight to the death."
"Acting?" Huo Sinian asked.
Lin Tan: "Yes."
Huo Sinian: "Okay."
Lin Tan paused.
Huo Sinian approached her step by step, eventually pinning her against the wall: "As long as you obediently come back with me to get married, I'll agree to let you go out and act, and I'll even spend money to promote you."
Lin Tan stared at him.
I don't believe a single word of it.
"How is it?" Huo Sinian asked.
"Do you even believe that yourself?" Lin Tan's attitude remained unchanged.
"I believe you." Huo Sinian lifted her chin. "You can tell me your concerns, and we can talk it over."
Lin Tan felt that the person in front of her was too unfamiliar.
She didn't believe it.
He also suspected that a huge pit was waiting for him.
"How is it?" Huo Sinian's tone remained gentle.
“I could have talked to you properly before, but I don’t trust you now.” Lin Tan stared at her. “If someone were to restrict your behavior all day long, interfere with your work, threaten you with the people you care about, and even try to imprison you, would you believe that she is good to you?”
Huo Sinian parted his thin lips slightly: "I don't believe it."
Lin Tan: "So, I don't believe it either."
If things get ugly, then so be it.
At worst, she could send a message to her boss later, telling him that if she were to die unexpectedly and the police pronounce her dead, he should not believe that person was her, and that the real her might have been taken away by Huo Sinian.
"I'll give you six months to think it over." Huo Sinian didn't press too hard, which was rare for him. "Give me your answer on my birthday this year. If it's not what I want to hear, remember to run far away. That way, I'll feel a sense of accomplishment when I catch you."
After he finished speaking, his rough thumb lightly brushed across her lips.
Lin Tan shuddered, her eyes filled with only wariness.
Just as Huo Sinian stopped, Jin Yue walked in from outside.
Seeing their intimate and ambiguous scene, she frowned slightly and called out to her in a somewhat serious tone, "Lin Tan."
Lin Tan was startled.
After recognizing the person, she was flustered for a couple of seconds: "Sister Jin."
"I came in because you left the door open." Jin Yue explained first, then turned her gaze to Huo Sinian, who had his back to her, but spoke to Lin Tan, "You should know the company's rules: no dating. If you do, you have to report it."
"I didn't talk..." Lin Tan's words were cut short.
Huo Sinian turned around, raised his eyes, and said politely, "She is my fiancée. I will handle anything that happens."
Jin Yue paused: "President Huo?"
Huo Sinian: "If you're not comfortable with that, you can transfer her to my entertainment company."
“I’m not his fiancée, and I have nothing to do with him.” Lin Tan didn’t want her agent to misunderstand, after all, artists and agents are very close partners. “He’s the neighbor next door I mentioned to you before.”
Jin Yue glanced at Huo Sinian, her face expressionless.
"We've been having a fight lately, and we haven't made up yet," Huo Sinian said unhurriedly.
Jin Yue simply replied, "I have important business to discuss with Lin Tan. Mr. Huo, could you please move to the next room?"
Huo Sinian: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Tan and raised his hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear: "I'll go over first, and I'll come back to you after you've finished talking. Think carefully about what I just told you."
After saying that, he pinched her cheek again before leaving.
Lin Tan's tense heart only eased a little after the door closed.
"Sister Jin." Lin Tan felt a little guilty, knowing that it would be difficult to handle this matter if it wasn't explained clearly.
Jin Yue sat down on her sofa, placing the briefcase she was holding aside. She was as decisive and capable as before: "Tell me, what's your relationship with him?"
Lin Tan pursed her lips.
I feel a little heavy-hearted.
“I understand that you don’t tell the company, to prevent them from using your past misdeeds if you switch jobs in the future,” Jin Yue said. “But I’m your agent. I not only have to help you negotiate deals and read scripts, but also prepare for emergency public relations for any unexpected events that may occur.”
“I have no relationship with him now; it’s just him harassing me,” Lin Tan replied after a few seconds of silence.
Jin Yue has a sharp eye and saw right through it: "In the past."
Lin Tan sat opposite her and said, "There have been several years of emotional entanglement."
Jin Yue: "What exactly are your feelings?"
Lin Tan lowered her eyes.
I just felt that the relationship we had during those years was very difficult to talk about.
"At once……"
"Kept?" Jin Yue guessed based on her reaction.
"I guess so." Lin Tan wasn't good at talking about their past relationship.
Jin Yue: "Can you accept unspoken rules?"
Lin Tan: "No."
She knew Jin Yue didn't mean any harm by asking that question.
It was just a simple question.
If she can accept it, she might change her agent to someone else so that her subordinates can make connections.
"My relationship with Huo Sinian is not voluntary." Lin Tan didn't want her to misunderstand, after all, they were long-term partners. "I was coerced into staying by his side for certain reasons."
Jin Yue: "And now?"
Lin Tan: "I've broken up with him now, but he wants to take me back to Jingzhou."
Jin Yue: "What do you think?"
Lin Tan: "I don't want to have anything to do with him."
After understanding the situation, Jin Yue simply said, "I understand."
After saying that, he took the documents out of his briefcase and handed them to her, explaining the situation: "I've already submitted an application to the company regarding the house. This is the new filming contract; please take a look."
"You believe what I just said?" Lin Tan was surprised.
From Jin Yue's perspective, it was highly improbable that a wealthy CEO would pursue her, especially since the man in question was Huo Sinian, a figure of great respect and awe.
“You are my partner, and trust is the foundation,” Jin Yue replied succinctly. “I trust you, and you must report anything to me promptly and not hide anything from me.”
Lin Tan immediately felt like she had found a treasure agent.
Fortunately, she chose him back then.
"Take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, then sign it," Jin Yue said.
Lin Tan carefully read the note.
After finishing my business.
Lin Tan looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you ask me to go to the company to sign?"
"The original plan was to come and see the neighbor you mentioned, to see if he's as good as people in the industry say," Jin Yue said. "If not, the chances of us moving are higher."
"Now..." Lin Tan hesitated.
Jin Yue glanced at the door a few times.
After a few seconds of silence, he told her the answer: "It depends on the relationship between the boss and President Huo. If President Huo has spoken to the boss, the probability of changing rooms is zero. If the two don't get along, the probability of changing rooms is over 80%."
Lin Tan paused for a moment.
For a moment, she didn't know what the outcome would be.
In the past, she was certain that Qin Jiangye would not agree to Huo Sinian's request, but now she had no relationship with Qin Mo and had offended him thoroughly.
Qin Jiangye is Qin Mo's younger brother.
Then she...
