Chapter 8 Future Superstar
Xu Fang drove very steadily, at a moderate speed, and did not ask many questions after getting in the car. He was a very measured person.
Xu Youyou sat in the back row, looking at the pendant hanging in front of her which showed a photo of two children, and asked, "Do you have children?"
Xu Fang did not look back, still concentrating on the road, and said: "Two daughters, one is five years old and the other is eight years old."
"Are you studying in Shanghai?" Xu Youyou asked.
"Boss, the cost of living in Shanghai is too high, so they all stay in their hometown."
Xu Youyou continued to ask: "I rarely see female drivers. Do private car drivers make a lot of money?"
Xu Fang didn't mind Xu Youyou's curiosity and said, "I've only been in this business for a short time. When things are going well, I can make 20,000 yuan a month, but when things are not going well, I can barely make more than 10,000 yuan."
Xu Youyou said: "Driving is very tiring, what does your man do?"
Xu Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "I was originally taking care of the children in my hometown. My husband was driving a special car in Shanghai. He died suddenly due to fatigue driving. I don't have any other skills. In order to raise the children, I had to take over his car and continue driving."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly and asked, "Who will raise your child?"
"I give my mother 3,000 yuan a month, and she helps me take care of my two children in my hometown."
Xu Youyou has almost understood all the information she wanted to know. She doesn't have a driver's license, and there may be many times in the future when she needs to follow instructions to pick up bargains. It would be much more convenient if she had a full-time driver.
"If you are willing, you can be my driver in the future. I will pay you 30,000 yuan a month."
Hearing this, Xu Fang's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't dare to tremble as she held the steering wheel: "Boss, don't joke with me, I will take it seriously."
As they were talking, they arrived at Huaxin Hospital and Xu Fang considerately drove into the hospital.
Xu Youyou got out of the car and said, "I'm not kidding. The monthly salary is 30,000 yuan, and I'll give you three months' salary as a bonus at the end of the year. I'll also pay your social security when I open a company. Please think about it and give me an answer within three days."
Xu Fang got out of the car without any hesitation after hearing this: "I do! I'll give my answer now!"
As a driver earning 450,000 yuan a year, Xu Fang would wake up laughing in her dreams. If she worked for a few more years, she would even be able to buy a small house in Shanghai, and her two daughters would be able to settle down in the city.
She even felt guilty about taking so much money just to drive a car, so she followed Xu Youyou around, treating herself like a security guard.
Xu Youyou didn't mind having multiple people following her. The system instructed her to enter Huaxin Hospital as she expected. She didn't need to ask anyone else and just followed the instructions. Soon she heard Song Zhibai's voice.
She stopped and Xu Fang immediately stood behind her.
"Doctor Wang, can't I just take medicine? Is surgery necessary?" Song Zhibai's voice was filled with anxiety.
Doctor Wang shook his head and said earnestly, "Xiao Song, your mother's current condition requires surgery. She may be saved this time, but not next time. If you really want surgery, only Doctor Liu Shengchao can do it in China. His operating room has a long queue, so you have to make up your mind early."
Song Zhibai's voice was muffled: "I understand, thank you, Doctor Wang."
Xu Youyou heard footsteps leaving, and then she turned the corner and appeared in front of Song Zhibai.
Song Zhibai suddenly saw a figure and immediately reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. When he raised his head and saw that the person was Xu Youyou, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Ms. Xu, I have already asked for leave."
Xu Youyou got straight to the point: "I will provide you with a high-paying job. I have no other thoughts about you, I just think you are very suitable for this job. As long as you promise me, your current predicament can be easily solved."
Song Zhibai just felt annoyed. He ignored Xu Youyou and walked straight to the ICU at the end of the corridor and stopped outside the glass room.
Xu Youyou followed him and followed his line of sight to look at the middle-aged woman lying inside with tubes inserted all over her body and a pale face.
The woman was 70% similar to Song Zhibai, but she just lay there, feeling like a broken feeling that was about to overflow.
"You care about your mother a lot." Xu Youyou said.
Song Zhibai said without turning his head: "You are not the first person to say this to me, but my mother is a person who would rather die than bend. She would rather die than let her son sell his personality in exchange for her survival."
Xu Youyou thought about how after Song Zhibai died in his previous life, outsiders only knew that Song Zhibai came from a single-parent family. His mental state had been bad after his mother's death, and they speculated that his suicide by jumping off the building was related to his mother's death.
"I want to open an entertainment company and hire you as an artist. I think with your face, you can definitely make a lot of money for me."
Song Zhibai sneered and said, "That sounds nice, but who knows what dirty thoughts you have."
Xu Youyou sighed and said, "Have you encountered a lot of bad things? That's why you are so cautious?"
Song Zhibai pursed his lips, obviously what Xu Youyou said was right.
Xu Youyou didn't try to persuade her anymore and turned around and left with Xu Fang.
"Go to the government service center." Xu Youyou said.
Xu Fang didn't ask any more questions. After arriving at the government service center, Xu Youyou easily found an agent to handle the registration and obtained a newly registered business license in the shortest time: Shanghai Youyou Entertainment Film and Television Co., Ltd.
Xu Youyou hurriedly made the official seal and drafted a brokerage contract.
Song Zhibai didn't expect Xu Youyou to come back.
"I'm lending you the medical expenses. Please pay me back when you have money. I have stamped the contract with the official seal. You can take a closer look." Xu Youyou handed over the contract.
After Song Zhibai took over, the first thing on the contract was medical expenses. Xu Youyou asked Song Zhibai to sign a five-year agency contract on the condition of helping to advance the medical expenses. After the expiration of the contract, Xu Youyou would also have the priority right to renew the contract.
What made Song Zhibai stunned was the line at the bottom: "If Party A forces Party B to provide sexual services, this contract will be terminated unconditionally, and Party B does not need to return the medical expenses paid by Party A in the early stage."
When Song Zhibai saw this, he only considered this point and thought that he would be willing to sign the contract even if Xu Youyou offered a blood-sucking contract. However, he did not expect that Xu Youyou's agency contract was a floating contract.
If the profit brought to the company within a year is less than 10 million, the company will take a 70% commission; if it is between 10 million and 30 million, the company will take a 60% commission... If it exceeds 100 million, the company's commission will be fixed at 30%.
In order to make a star famous, the agency will invest a huge amount of resources to promote the person. Xu Youyou's commission rate may seem high at first glance, but in the circle, it is considered a conscience price. After all, the contracts of many newcomers are 19:1, with the company getting 9 and the artist only getting 1.
Of course, Xu Youyou will not lose out, because Song Zhibai is naturally popular with the audience. No matter what he does in front of the camera, countless fans will flock to him.
Even though Song Zhibai had died in his previous life, his fans still remembered him and commemorated him spontaneously every year. There is no substitute for an idol like him in the entertainment industry.
But at this moment, Song Zhibai, whose mind was full of his mother, obviously did not know his great potential. After a quick glance at the contract, he resolutely signed his name.
"It's a pleasure working with you, my big star." Xu Youyou said with a smile.
