Seeing that expression on his indifferent face, Shi Xing said with interest, "Don't worry, I'll give you an insider price."
Looking at the contract, Su Xian didn't know what to say.
Seeing his expression, Wang Yan curiously took the contract to look at it. When she saw the numbers at the end, she didn't say anything, but she was still a little surprised.
It's not that the price is that high; other top-tier or first-rate celebrities charge eight figures or more for a single endorsement deal, which is not an exaggeration.
However, 5.8 million is too high for Su Xian now.
Su Xian used to earn around 200,000 yuan for endorsing a product, but now that amount has increased nearly 30 times.
It seems that relying on friends when you're away from home is no joke; is this the benefit of having connections?
Seeing that Su Xian wanted to say something more, Shi Xing told him to shut up: "If there are no problems, sign it as soon as possible."
Su Xian pursed her lips, her hands unconsciously clenching together under the table.
What could be wrong with the contract? It was far too expensive for him, but he still felt a lot of pressure.
Seeing that he didn't move, Wang Yan gently nudged his arm, signaling him not to stand there in a daze.
After a moment, Su Xian looked up at Shi Xing and said, "Mr. Shi, may I speak with you alone for a few minutes?"
Shi Xing nodded indifferently: "Okay, Sister Yan, you can go back first."
Wang Yan is a veteran in the company. As the company's top agent, she has a long track record of managing two Best Actress winners and two A-list celebrities.
Aside from her seniority, her age makes it perfectly acceptable for Shi Xing to call her "sister."
"Okay, I'll be going now. You two can continue your conversation, boss."
After drinking more than half of her coffee, Wang Yan got up and left.
The office door opened and closed, leaving only Shi Xing and Su Xian inside.
Su Xian clenched her hands, looked at Shi Xing in front of her, stood up and bowed to her: "President Shi, thank you very much for helping me terminate my contract with my previous agency."
"No need for thanks, just contribute more to the company."
“It’s my duty, Mr. Shi. This endorsement fee is too high. I can’t sign it against my conscience,” Su Xian said earnestly.
There are even people who refuse money that is offered to them.
Shi Xing leaned back on the sofa and looked at him: "It's not like I'm asking you to do anything illegal, so how can it be considered going against your conscience?"
Su Xian didn't know how to explain it; his personality, cultivated since childhood, made him never want to owe others too much.
Whether it's material or emotional.
Few people genuinely helped him; those people always wanted to get something else out of him.
His guarded nature made him afraid to accept something that didn't belong to him.
He doesn't know how to express his thoughts, and he's also very good at hiding his true feelings.
So he could only remain silent.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Recalling the scene when they met for the second time, Shi Xing asked again, "Are you afraid that I'll take advantage of you?"
"No, I didn't think that way," Su Xian said hastily, waving her hand in denial.
"I just don't know how to repay you. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your kindness in the future."
She seems to have a strong sense of boundaries, Shi Xing thought, her eyes crinkling slightly.
"It's simple if you want to repay me, just make more money for me. I don't need you to give anything in return." She added at the end, "Your future value is worth it for me to do this."
She tapped the contract with her slender fingers: "Since there are no further doubts, let's sign it."
Su Xian stared into her eyes, then quickly lowered his eyelids after half a second.
He sat down, picked up the pen next to him, and signed his name on the last page of the contract.
Shi Xing is genuinely curious: can someone with his personality really succeed in the entertainment industry?
If you can't even look people in the eye, how do you handle interviews?
A mischievous glint appeared in Shi Xing's eyes, and he said with a smirk, "Come here."
Su Xian looked puzzled, paused for two seconds before walking towards her: "President Shi, what's wrong?"
"Make eye contact with me for ten seconds." Shi Xing's tone left no room for argument.
He habitually pursed his lips, his bright phoenix eyes widened slightly, making him appear unusually uneasy.
The more he acted like this, the more amusing Shi Xing found it.
099, who was silently watching the show: "Don't you feel like you've learned the essence of Her Majesty the Queen?"
The Queen is the female protagonist of the book it was reading, and 099 really likes that book.
Shi Xing: ...
You know what?
Su Xian was already prepared to look up into Shi Xing's eyes.
Within three seconds, he lowered his eyes uncomfortably, no longer daring to look.
"It's not time yet," Shi Xing reminded him.
Taking a shallow breath, Su Xian looked into her eyes again.
A faint blush appeared on his face, and his ears felt burning hot.
Shi Xing saw his face turn red at a visible speed and suddenly burst into laughter.
To be honest, it's quite amusing to admit that this shyness is either due to innocence or something else.
Shi Xing seemed to be joking: "You're really not qualified to be my lover."
With just that one sentence, his already slightly flushed cheeks instantly turned bright red.
He didn't dare look at her, just lowered his head, at a loss, and stammered, "I'm sorry."
Now Shi Xing finally understands why domineering CEOs all like innocent and naive girls.
She suddenly felt a bit tempted to keep such a little thing, but she could tell from the other person's expression that they didn't want to.
Thinking about it this way, Shi Xing suddenly lost interest. What's the difference between this and workplace sexual harassment?
Shi Xing took a sip of his latte and then slowly waved his hand.
"Someone will let you know when you'll be shooting the commercial. If you have any questions, contact Xiaoyue. You can leave now."
Su Xian seemed a little guilty, and unconsciously clenched her fists, saying, "Then I'll be going now, goodbye Mr. Shi."
