Chapter 124 Touching Face and Taking Advantage: Signing a Newcomer, Qingcheng Takes the Lead
"Here is the contract. Take a look at it first. If you have any questions, the lawyer is right here. Feel free to ask. If there's anything that's not suitable, we can coordinate and make changes on the spot."
However, the boy sitting opposite him didn't say a word, picked up a pen, and signed his name directly on the last page.
Two copies were made, and it was finished in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, here you go."
Song Ying was momentarily stunned by how hasty and casual it was.
"...This is your agency contract. Are you sure you don't want to take a good look at it before hastily signing your name? Aren't you afraid I'll rip you off?"
"I believe that you, Teacher Song, are not that kind of person."
Jian Cheng looked at Song Ying, her tone firm.
"If it weren't for you, I would still be being bullied, and even my sister would have been tricked into prison by the Xu family. To my siblings and me, you are our savior. Let alone becoming an artist under Qingcheng, even if you took my life, I would have no complaints."
What use is your life to me?
Song Ying chuckled, feeling that Jian Cheng was a bit too honest for his age.
"But since you trust me, I certainly won't let you suffer any losses."
"Although Qingcheng is not a top artist in the entertainment industry right now, you are the first artist I signed with Qingcheng. As long as you are willing to work hard, I guarantee that within three years you will have a place in the industry and enough ability to protect the people you want to protect."
“Jian Cheng, you are a smart person, you should know what I mean by that.”

In the week following the incident on "All-Round Trainee", Chien Cheng has been taking care of her sister, Chien Yun-lan, at the hospital.
Although Qin Shu and Song Ying were the ones who saved the person, Wen Yize stayed by their side at the hospital the whole time after that.
Especially during the days leading up to the qualifying rounds.
Although she had been saved by Xu Lanyan years ago, Jian Yunlan was not like Xu Lanyan. She didn't take Xu Lanyan's casual act to heart at all.
Wen Yize's concern made her feel very uncomfortable, even extremely awkward.
After the qualifying round, Jian Cheng went to the hospital to take care of Jian Yunlan. Jian Yunlan was able to relax a little after seeing her younger brother.
But Wen Yize still didn't leave.
It's not that he was being persistent and annoying—if that were the case, the Jian siblings would have simply driven him away without any remorse.
On the contrary, Wen Yize was considerate and thoughtful, arranging everything in an orderly manner, and always available whenever needed.
They came even without being called.
Don't cling, but don't leave either.
He silently protected Jian Yunlan.
But the more this happened, the more pressure Jian Yunlan felt.
In the internet age, there are no secrets.
In particular, Wen Yize had been pursuing Xu Lanyan for six years, and the two had just appeared on a dating reality show, which was known to the entire internet.
But then, he turned around and treated Jian Yunlan with the same tender care.
Jian Yunlan was not only unmoved, but also felt disgusted.
The same applies to Jian Cheng.
So after receiving compensation from the program team, he immediately transferred the money to Wen Yize to repay the expenses incurred during his hospitalization.
Even so, it's only enough for a small portion.
Not to mention, it will cost even more money to completely stabilize Jian Yunlan's condition.
So when Song Ying proposed signing Jian Cheng at this time, it was like a godsend, and Jian Cheng agreed without hesitation.
These days, contracts are signed much faster.
"Teacher Song, I will never forget your kindness to me. Please rest assured, I can endure hardship, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Jian Cheng spoke with great certainty.
Because he knew that Song Ying would not make him do anything that violated morality or humanity.
After "All-Round", he thought his career in the entertainment industry had come to an end, and he even started to go out for interviews again, wanting to go out and work part-time to earn money for his sister's medical expenses.
Song Ying gave him new hope, paved a new path of prosperity for him, and gave him dignity.
He was grateful to her.
I trust her more.
Song Ying took out a card and handed it over.
"This card contains 500,000 yuan that the company has prepaid to you. Take it first. I have to go out of town for a while, so you should take advantage of this time to spend more time with your sister. Once I come back, you won't have such a long vacation."
Jian Cheng did not refuse.
Because he really needs that money.
He would rather owe Song Ying than continue to rely on Wen Yize.
"Teacher Song, I swear, I will work hard from now on and make the company earn ten times more than 500,000!"
Song Ying was amused by the boy's earnest yet silly appearance and teased him.
"Ten times isn't enough? You're my designated top star, who do you think you are, giving me ten times the amount?"
Jian Cheng smiled sheepishly and scratched her head.
Song Ying glanced at the time and stopped teasing him. "I'll introduce you to someone later. While I'm gone, you can contact her if you need anything. Whether it's work-related or personal—or even that lovestruck guy from the Wen family."
Just as Jian Cheng was pondering the meaning of Song Ying's last words, the door to the tea room was pushed open.
Before the person even got close, Zhang Yang's clear and crisp voice pierced through the screen.
"Sister Ying, that scumbag Ran Chengwang has been dealt with! He's currently being investigated at the police station. I asked a lawyer, and with all his crimes, he'll easily spend ten or twenty years in prison. I don't think he'll be able to act so arrogantly anymore!"
"And there are two more pieces of good news! The investigation results for the Tan family and the verdicts for the Xu family's mess are out now. They'll be announced in the next couple of days after the paperwork is completed. I heard—wait, what?"
He interrupted her halfway through her sentence.
She glanced at Song Ying, then at the young man sitting opposite her, and instinctively covered her mouth.
"I didn't expect there to be others..."
Did she say something she shouldn't have?
Hearing her almond-shaped eyes darting back and forth, I only regret my big mouth.
Song Ying didn't blame her and even waved.
"It's alright, come and sit down, there are no outsiders here."
Song Ying and Jian Cheng sat opposite each other, while Wen Jinzhao could only sit between them.
Her gaze fell on Jian Cheng's face. She squinted for a few seconds, then suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"I knew this younger brother looked familiar. Isn't he Jian Cheng?"
"Hello..." Jian Cheng greeted him cautiously.
Wen Jinzhao's eyes lit up with excitement, and he even reached out and pinched Jian Cheng's fair cheek.
"Waaaaah, she's so beautiful! Even prettier than a girl, she looks absolutely stunning in person, far more so than on camera. That silky smooth skin, that gorgeous appearance, she's practically a real-life Nuwa graduation project!"
Jian Cheng: ...
Song Ying: ……
This was the first time Jian Cheng had ever been "tortured" like this by a girl. She didn't dare to breathe and sat there stiff as a wooden statue, dumbfounded.
Song Ying reacted quickly and pulled Wen Jinzhao's hand back before she could take further action.
"When are you going to break this habit of touching people's faces as soon as you meet them?"
When the two first met in London, they didn't exchange a single word. Wen Jinchao did the same, touching Song Ying's face and taking advantage of her.
Thank goodness she's a girl, otherwise she would have been beaten up long ago.
Wen Jinzhao seemed somewhat guilty and chuckled.
"Everyone loves beauty, Sister Ying. If you have to blame someone, blame this child for being too adorable... Also, why is my hand so uncooperative?"
As he spoke, Wen Jinchao slapped the back of his right hand with his left hand, and then slapped his left hand with his right hand.
"Alright," she continued, smiling as she looked at Jian Cheng, "how old is your younger brother this year? What books have you read? Where do you live now? What do you like to eat? And..."
She looks exactly like a female hooligan.
That's enough.
Song Ying glared at Wen Jinzhao, who quickly composed himself, but his eyes still couldn't help glancing at Jian Cheng.
Jian Cheng was outstanding in appearance and academically excellent, so he was never short of girls who liked him at school.
But because he doesn't interact with people often, everyone thinks he's hard to get along with.
At best, those girls would pretend to hand him a love letter or pretend to bump into him.
No one has ever laid a hand on him before, doing this and that to him.
Now, with Wen Jinzhao staring at him like that, his heart was pounding wildly in his chest. He sat there, not knowing where to put his hands, and his cheeks were as red as blooming cherry blossoms.
"If you keep lecherous like that, I won't dare entrust this person to you."
"What?! Leave it to me?!"
Wen Jinchao straightened up, "Sister Ying, tell me more! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"Take a look at this."
Song Ying pushed the signed contract in front of Wen Jinzhao.
"Qingcheng has signed Jian Cheng. But I'm going to join the cast of 'Temptation Star' in the next few days, and A-Shu is also busy with her own things, so we can't take care of Jian Cheng for the time being."
"But you know, as long as there's no resolution to Tan Mu's matter, Jian Cheng will remain unsafe."
"So I'm entrusting him to you while I'm away. Please take good care of him. If you have any questions, just ask Sister Hong."
Song Ying originally wanted to find Sister Hong.
But recently, with her popularity rising, Sister Hong has too many things to handle, and outside of the entertainment industry, Sister Hong's abilities are also limited. After thinking it over, Wen Jinzhao is the most suitable candidate.
and.
"You should know Jian Cheng's identity, right?"
Wen Jinzhao nodded: "I know."
When it came to the Jian siblings' situation, Song Ying first told Wen Jinzhao, and then it was up to her to decide whether or not to tell Wen Yize.
Later, when Wen Yize returned to China, Wen Jinzhao also went to the hospital with him and had a brief encounter with Jian Yunlan.
Although he only met her once, Wen Jinzhao had a very good impression of the girl who looked very much like Xu Lanyan.
Gentle, self-respecting, resilient, and polite.
She is completely different from Xu Lanyan.
That's why Wen Jinzhao didn't stop Wen Yize from taking care of his savior at the hospital, while he himself was hired into Song Ying's team.
Knowing that Jinzhao had a straightforward personality, Song Ying didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"As for your brother, advise him to tone it down a bit. Whether it's out of gratitude or genuine affection, tell him to be mindful of boundaries and not cause trouble for the Jian siblings."
"What? What outrageous thing has that bastard Wen Yize done now?"
Wen Jinzhao stood up abruptly and looked at Jian Cheng, "That bastard harassed your sister?"
Jian Cheng wasn't stupid. Upon hearing the mention of "brother," and considering that Wen Jinzhao and Wen Yize looked somewhat alike, she quickly realized that the person in front of her was Wen Yize's sister.
During this time, although Wen Yize was still haunting him, he didn't do anything excessive.
Upon hearing of the explosion today, fearing she might misunderstand, Jian Cheng quickly waved her hand.
"No, sister, you misunderstood. Mr. Wen did not harass my sister."
He was just too nice, so nice that we all felt uncomfortable.
Upon hearing that Wen Yize hadn't done anything wrong, Wen Jinzhao sat down with peace of mind. However, he quickly put his hands together, placed them on the sides of his face, and looked at Jian Cheng expectantly, blinking.
"Call me 'sister' again, let me hear it..."
Song Ying was speechless: "Wen Jinzhao!"
"arrive!"
Wen Jinzhao immediately sat up straight, then apologized with a stiff face, "I'm sorry, I was just joking."
Song Ying: ……
Jian Cheng: ...
-
Although Wen Jinzhao's performance today was a bit outrageous, considering that she is usually reliable and is Wen Yize's nemesis, Song Ying still entrusted her to her.
On her way home, Song Ying received a call from Sister Hong.
"Ah Ying, guess what President Zhou said to me today? He knows so many people are trying to poach you, so he offered to increase your contract share and said that the company's resources will be tilted towards you in the future!"
"In addition, we will give you another 3% of the shares. The only requirement is that you don't switch jobs. Of course, he also said that if you are willing to sign Shusong to Shengshi as well, the shareholding can be increased to 8%! All of Shengshi's top resources can also be given to you!"
That's how cruel reality is.
When a person has no value, resources will never come knocking.
But once it shows its effectiveness, a lot of resources will come to it and offer it up.
In this prosperous era, President Zhou is a man who knows how to assess the situation and act accordingly.
but.
"The pie in Shengshi is only so big. Even if you give me all the resources, it won't make much difference. Besides, the company already has its own top male and female employees. If I agree, wouldn't that be stealing their jobs? There's no need to make enemies."
Song Ying's vision has never been limited to prosperous times, much less to the small entertainment industry.
What she wants is the entire entertainment empire of China.
"I already signed with Jian Cheng this afternoon, and I've also prepared the contract for Shusong. So, Sister Hong, I can agree to Mr. Zhou not switching jobs for the previous one, but I'd appreciate it if you could decline the Shusong offer."
Hong Jie was not surprised by Song Ying's reaction, because she already knew that Song Ying had the idea of going it alone.
However, as an agent, she believes that the artist should be informed of any contact information, as this is the least she can do to show respect.
After hanging up the phone, Song Ying was about to take a short nap in the car when Peng Wen sent her a message.
"Madam, Qingcheng is in trouble."
