Chapter 155 Meeting Jin Yu and Obtaining New Evidence
Upon arriving at the company in the morning, before Xu Wang could even have Sister Li send a message to Brother Jin, Brother Jin took the initiative to ask Xu Wang to meet up.
The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop.
Xu Wang pushed open the door and walked into the coffee shop. The wind chimes at the door made a crisp sound as the door was pushed open.
Ring ring...
"Hello, welcome."
Jin, who had arrived half an hour early and was sitting in a corner of the coffee shop, immediately stood up and waved when he saw Xu Wang.
Xu Wang walked over and sat down opposite Jin Ge.
The waiter approached Xu Wang respectfully with the menu: "Hello sir, this is our menu. Please take your time looking at it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
"I'd like an iced latte, please." Xu Wang glanced quickly at the menu in his hand, then closed it and handed it back to the waiter with a smile.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Xu Wang only turned his gaze to the person opposite him after ordering his drink.
Jin Ge's real name is Jin Yu. He is a beta. He is not well-known in the talent agency industry, but has only recently begun to make a name for himself.
"Mr. Xu, I've heard so much about you." Jin Yu smiled as he looked at Xu Wang, his eyes filled with scrutiny, surprise, and curiosity.
Xu Wang leaned back lazily in the chair behind him.
"Let's get straight to the point. What evidence do you have, and what do you want from me?" Xu Wang crossed his legs, propped his chin on his right hand, and looked at the person in front of him with curiosity.
Jin Ge paused, and just as the two remained silent, the waiter came up with a tray.
"Excuse me, sir, your iced latte is ready. Please enjoy." The waiter carefully placed the coffee on the tray in front of Xu Wang and then left with the tray.
Xu Wang picked up his coffee and took a sip, glancing at Jin Yu across from him almost imperceptibly.
Jin Yu took a black voice recorder out of his pocket.
Jin Yu slowly turned on the recording.
The first voice to appear was Zhong Ran's dismissive tone.
"I need an original song. Can you have Yu Yuan write one for me?"
"Ideally, it should be of similar quality to his poem 'Abyss'."
"You think good songs are as common as cabbages? Besides, why would he bother writing a song for you these days?" The person who answered Zhong Ran in the recording was Brother Jin.
"Doesn't he need money? That's the last thing I lack. I can just give him more." Zhong Ran's voice was dismissive.
"Anyway, I don't care. I need the song the day after tomorrow. If you can't do it, then I'll have to find someone in the company."
There was a moment of silence on the recorder, followed by a loud slamming of the door.
The recording has ended.
Xu Wang listened to the recording in front of him thoughtfully. In the original text, Brother Jin had never betrayed Zhong Ran. He even took the initiative to cover for Zhong Ran. Could it be that he changed the plot and caused a butterfly effect?
“If that’s not enough, I also have some chat logs between him and the company’s upper management. Mr. Xu, I’ve brought more than enough sincerity today.” Jin Yu placed his hands on the table, crossed.
"So what do you want from me?" Xu Wang looked at Jin Yu sitting opposite him with curiosity. What could possibly make him betray Zhong Ran?
“I want to join Wangchuan Entertainment. My contract with the company expires in the next couple of days, and I want to use this sincerity to exchange for an opportunity to work with General Manager Xu.” Jin Yu stirred the coffee in his cup.
"Why?" Why do you want to come to my company?
"Because your company has a strong background, it can provide me with more of the resources I want, allowing me to become a top player in this industry." Jin Yu made no attempt to hide his ambition. He wasn't actually the real 'Brother Jin'; he had transmigrated to this world a month ago. In his original world, he was just an unknown, low-level agent, struggling to make it big with a few unknown artists under his management. Just as he was striving to climb higher, one of his artists somehow ended up in bed with a famous agent in the industry, and also seduce all the other artists under his management. Jin Yu tried to confront the agent but was threatened. He drowned his sorrows in alcohol late at night, only to wake up in a strange world—a world from a novel he had read.
Jin Yu was overjoyed to learn that he was the protagonist's agent, since Zhong Ran eventually became a movie star in the novel.
But after Jin Yu met this protagonist a few times, his enthusiasm was extinguished by a bucket of cold water. He had never seen such a brainless person, yet he was one of the protagonists in this world.
But considering that the world was all for the sake of these two protagonists, Jin Yu had no choice but to suppress his disdain. After all, as long as Zhong Ran could eventually become a movie star, it wouldn't conflict with his own goal. So what if he was a little foolish?
When Jin Yu saw that Xu Wang, who should have logged off, was still online, he began to doubt the plot of this world and Xu Wang himself. Since the plot had been disrupted, did that mean the final ending would also change?
Looking at the altered plot and thinking about the company's rampant corruption, Jin Yu made a bold decision: to join Xu Wang's company. He was going to take a gamble, a gamble on Xu Wang escaping the plot, and a gamble on Pei Yanchuan, the big villain behind Xu Wang.
Xu Wang was secretly surprised when he saw the ambition in Jin Yu's eyes.
"I don't know what Mr. Xu is thinking. If you really don't trust me, you can increase the penalty for breach of contract in the contract you sign with me, and add a clause that if I do anything that is detrimental to the company, I will be permanently banned from this industry."
"I need to think about it." Xu Wang didn't agree immediately. After all, if a huge offer is suddenly put in front of him, he has to consider whether the other party has poisoned it.
"Okay, feel free to message me when you've thought it through. Consider this my gift to President Xu." Jin Yu wasn't in a hurry when he didn't get a definite reply from Xu Wang. He smiled and pushed the voice recorder on the table.
When Xu Wang returned home at noon, Pei Yanchuan had already prepared lunch.
Nuomi sat properly in front of its bowl, looking at the lush green vegetables, but hesitated to take a bite.
After changing his shoes, Xu Wang gave Pei Yanchuan a warm kiss. Then he noticed that Nuomi was acting strangely, so he curiously walked up behind it.
Xu Wang looked down and his expression changed drastically. It was a plate full of vegetables and some meat, but only a tiny bit in the corner.
Pei Yanchuan seemed to notice the fright of the person and the dog. He gently put down the bowl in his hand and said, "The vet said Nuomi needs to lose weight."
Hmm? Xu Wang looked down and met Nuomi's gaze, who was tilting her head. Xu Wang nodded at Nuomi's small, gas-canister-like figure. She really should lose some weight.
Xu Wang then thought of Pei Yanchuan holding Nuomi this morning. It turned out that Yanchuan had already started his plan this morning.
During lunch, Nuomi ran up to Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan for the nth time, acting all cute.
However, there was no glutinous rice on the table, and Xu Wang was powerless to help.
Pei Yanchuan even brought Nuomi back to his dog bowl. If he couldn't run properly in the morning, then he should eat less meat.
Nuomi tried twice more, but after finding that the result was still the same, it lay on the ground, utterly dejected, with its tongue sticking out. "I can't take this anymore. Today is the first day I miss my grandpa."
"Did the meeting go well today?" Pei Yanchuan returned to the dining table and ladled a bowl of soup for Xu Wang.
"It's alright, but I'm a little unsure. I'd like to ask the most capable CEO Pei for some advice," Xu Wang said with a smile as he took the bowl from Pei Yanchuan.
Tell me about it.
Xu Wang briefly recounted the conversation he had that morning to Pei Yanchuan.
Pei Yanchuan slowly sipped the soup in the bowl in front of him.
After Xu Wang finished speaking, he picked up the bowl in front of him and took a big gulp of soup. He was a little thirsty after talking for so long.
"To be honest, I'm currently leaning towards signing him." Xu Wang picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork, and put it in his mouth to eat.
"Then do what you think is right. I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong."
So don't be afraid.
