Entertainment News: I'm Not a Scumbag After Rebirth!

Shun Zi very subtly told them something: Zhang Liangying has great potential, whether or not to sign her is up to them.

This shows that the newcomer has ill intentions. He also knows that this is an unfair contract. Once signed, Zhang Liangying will basically have to give up her rest for the whole year. She will only receive 10% of her own earnings as salary, and she will not be able to resign. If she leaves, she will have to pay an exorbitant amount of compensation.

Li Jun naturally knew all this, but Zhang Liangying did not. Shun Zi knew but could not say it; he was merely acting as a mediator, and speaking out would not be good for either party.

An awkward atmosphere fell over the room. Zhang Liangying understood some of the implied meaning, but she was unsure of her own judgment, so she looked at Li Jun for help.

"Let's go, Teacher Shunzi, please show us the way."

Li Jun broke the tense silence; these things were unavoidable.

Teacher Shunzi nodded quickly and began to lead the way.

The Chengdu TV station's office was spacious. Upon entering, there were three large, imposing sofas, where a man and a woman in suits sat, occasionally glancing at their watches and then crossing their hands, clearly having been waiting for some time.

Li Jun once again forced the nutritional supplements he was holding onto the gift in the same way. The two people from Tianyu Entertainment glanced at Teacher Shunzi, who held up the gift in his hand and helplessly shrugged.

"This is Long Danni, the general manager of Tianyu Entertainment, and the other is Liu Bin, the editor-in-chief of Tianyu Entertainment."

"This is Zhang Liangying's manager, and this is Zhang Liangying herself."

Teacher Shun introduced them to each other.

"Manager Long is a strong woman. She looks like she just graduated from university. Is she really that capable? Director Liu is also amazing. She became the editor-in-chief of Tianyu Entertainment at such a young age."

Li Jun smiled and shook hands with each of them, bowing very low, which made Long Danni and Liu Bin even more beaming. In their view, this trip was a sure thing.

But Li Jun then taught them a harsh lesson.

"Manager Long, Director Liu," Zhang Liangying greeted Li Jun from behind.

Long Danni stood up in surprise, grabbed Zhang Liangying's hand, and murmured:

"Liangying, you're perfect for debuting! Your face is just like a TV face; even a camera can't make you look ugly."

Long Danni's praise made Zhang Liangying a little embarrassed. She took Long Danni's hand, like a long-lost sister:

"Teacher Long, you're super beautiful too!"

Li Jun squinted his eyes. Zhang Liangying was still unaware of their purpose in coming here; she was just slowly introducing the topic.

"Liangying, would you like to join Tianyu Entertainment? We are willing to dedicate our best resources to nurturing you."

Long Danni spoke with a sincere expression, as if she really liked Zhang Liangying.

"Really?" Li Jun asked in shock.

Long Danni didn't expect Li Jun to be so interested. She knew that this agreement would infringe on the rights of his agent the most, and he wouldn't be able to make money so easily anymore.

Long Danni took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Li Jun and Zhang Liangying.

Li Jun took the contract and pretended to look at it for a couple of seconds, mainly to find unreasonable parts of the contract to show Zhang Liangying. He had known for a long time that there was a problem with the contract.

"Liangying, look at this place. We basically only get lunch breaks all year round. You'll only get 20% of the profits, and there's an exorbitant compensation for leaving."

Li Jun whispered to Zhang Liangying.

"Oh, is it that bad?"

Zhang Liangying looked at the place Li Jun pointed out with concern.

"The most crucial point is that you might leave me as your agent and be replaced by someone assigned by the company."

Li Jun raised his eyebrows and said regretfully.

"But for your future, I'm willing to do anything."

Li Jun's expression gradually shifted from regret to smugness, but he concealed it very well.

Who knew that Zhang Liangying wouldn't listen to his psychological manipulation, but instead pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Li Jun's face was contorted with rage as he repeatedly begged for mercy, never expecting Zhang Liangying to be so ruthless.

"If you're not my manager by then, I won't do it anymore."

Zhang Liangying proudly raised her chin, but her heart was also quite resolute.

Seeing the two of them so engrossed in their conversation, Long Danni and Liu Bin, who had been treated as bystanders, exchanged a glance. Something seemed off about their relationship.

They weren't as clingy as lovers, but they were still much closer than agents.

If it were a romantic relationship, Zhang Liangying wouldn't be so worthwhile, considering the type of people she targets.

"Ahem." Liu Bin coughed twice, pretending not to care.

Seeing the two pause for a moment, Long Danni immediately interjected:

"What have you two decided?"

Zhang Liangying looked at Li Jun, and the two managers also looked at Li Jun.

Let's think about it.

Li Jun's opening remarks were just stalling; he was only trying it out.

He felt that the other side wouldn't give them that chance. The 5-to-3 round of the competition was a voting system, which was difficult to manipulate. If he were discovered, it would be a complete self-inflicted blow. So he could only manipulate things in the 7-to-5 round.

The 7-to-5 elimination round was decided by a combination of judges' and audience votes, with the judges' opinions taking the majority of the vote, which gave Tianyu Entertainment the opportunity to manipulate the system.

Sure enough, both of them looked hesitant, clearly indicating that they didn't intend to sign this time.

"Could we make a decision today, Mr. Li? The company has instructed us to provide a response by today."

Long Danni's words sounded like they couldn't be refused.

Liu Bin understood that Li Jun was deliberately making excuses and clearly wanted to renege on the contract.

"Mr. Li Jun, you probably don't know this, but this Super Girl competition is organized by our company, Tianyu Entertainment. We can further boost your influence on this stage. We can also decide some of the advancement rights for your rival singers."

Liu Bin spoke, and although his tone was very sincere, Li Jun could clearly hear that he had a subtle threat in his voice.

"Moreover, Li Yuchun and He Jie are very aggressive. They are both on our company's target list. The treatment they receive in our company is definitely different from that outside."

Liu Bin had already made a blatant threat.

Long Danni then added:

"Mr. Li, this is a rare opportunity for Zhang Liangying. She hasn't made a name for herself in so many competitions before. Don't waste this great opportunity."

As she spoke, she looked sincerely at Zhang Liangying.

"Alright, one good cop and one bad cop." Li Jun looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.

They've really lost all shame, resorting to both overt and covert attacks.

"All right."

Li Jun sighed deeply. There was nothing he could do; the two of them were pressing their advantage too hard.

Long Danni and Liu Bin exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Jun was about to give in, which was a bit beyond their expectations, as they hadn't had to say much.

Long Danni happily took out a pen and signed her name. As long as Zhang Liangying signed it, the mission would be complete.

Li Jun frowned and looked up at them, puzzled.

"Who said we were going to sign a contract? We're not signing."
