On the day of Mu Ning's birthday, he attended a charity dinner hosted by Juheng Entertainment with the group he was in at the time.

And Mu Ning's own agency, Taihe Entertainment, is actually a small company whose boss came here to play tickets.At that time, Huaxing Brokers in the circle were in full swing, and Juheng Entertainment, which had been established for only three years, also emerged as a force, forming a rivalry with Huaxing Brokers.

Yan Shizhang, the boss of Taihe Entertainment, has capital but little vision.At that time, the idol market was mostly divided by Hallyu groups and draft stars, and there was no way for mainland groups to make their debut.

So they debuted for some time, but they have been tepid.

After the performance at the party, the five hurriedly changed their costumes.Captain Fan Chengxi was called to the front row by Yan Shizhang.Mu Ning and the rest of his teammates sat in the most remote corner of the venue, sitting around a table with "Internet celebrities" who didn't know where they came from, without any communication.

"Muning," someone called him softly at the entrance of the hall, "come out."

The person here is the manager of the group, and also the general manager of Taihe entertainment artists, Wan Tingrun.

"How is it?" Mu Ning trotted out, bowing his waist, and asked expectantly, "Is the boss agreeing to the variety show on Channel A?"

Wan Tingrun looked at him in embarrassment, and said after a long while: "Mr. Yan means... this variety show, although you are the one invited by the program group, but I still want Fan Chengxi to appear on it."

The smile on Mu Ning's face instantly disappeared without a trace.Instead, there was a look that had been expected for a long time.

Station A is a local station that started out with talent shows. The brokerage company behind Channel A is even more top-notch.Mu Ning originally planned to jump ship directly after establishing a relationship with Channel A, and ask the new company to pay liquidated damages for him.He has a good-looking face, he can sing and dance well, and he can also learn acting.On top of that, he's still so young.No matter how you think about it, the liquidated damages of several million is not considered a loss.

Wan Tingrun didn't know that Mu Ning's conditions were the best in the group in every respect.It's just that Fan Chengxi has a special relationship with Yan Shizhang, and Mr. Yan has a preference for him, which is well known.Taihe Entertainment has a small platform and few resources, and of course it is Mr. Yan's one-word speech.Wan Tingrun, the so-called general manager, really had no right to speak.

In this combination, Fan Chengxi is the only safflower, no matter how beautiful the others are, they are just a prettier green leaf.

But who has entered this circle, how can anyone be willing to be a green leaf?

"Go in first, and I'll help you negotiate with Mr. Yan." Seeing that Mu Ning remained silent, Wan Tingrun said.

Mu Ning shook his head and said, "No, I'll take a breath outside."

Knowing that he was depressed, Wan Tingrun could only let out a long sigh and let him go.

Across the heavy door of the hall, the splendor of the entertainment industry still reached his ears through the heavy vibration of the speakers.Mu Ning walked to the outfield.

The originally bustling red carpet area in the outfield had already fallen into silence. After the media and fans dispersed, only the spotlight was left in a corner, and two workers were busy removing the complicated arrangements in the venue.After Mu Ning turned to the huge billboard, he hid in the darkness.

I thought it was a clean place, but another person walked by.

The visitor is well-dressed, with a full sky and narrow eyes.The hair is neatly combed back, and this hairstyle tends to look mature and old, but he looks only in his twenties.Mu Ning was taken aback when he saw him, but the other party was neither surprised nor pleased.The man rested his slender hands on the buttons of his suit jacket, and nodded gracefully: "Hello."

Mu Ning replied: "...Hello. Are you an actor?"

The man said, "You don't know me?"

Mu Ning asked, "Should I know you?"

The man's eyes lingered on Mu Ning for a while, and said, "I shouldn't. I'm just a young actor."

Mu Ning saw that this man was well-dressed and personable, he was indeed not like an ordinary person.

"Where are you sitting?" Munning asked: "We are probably far away, I don't seem to see you in the venue."

The man said, "I'm on the west side of the stage, very remote."

"I'm at the back, probably—" Mu Ning thought for a while, then laughed at himself and said, "I really can't see anything."

The man laughed too.

When the eyes are bent, they look very gentle.

There was a burst of fragrance from him, different from the frivolous fragrance that Mu Ning often smells, what penetrated into his nostrils leisurely, it is obviously a kind of fragrance that is repulsive to people thousands of miles away, but very aggressive, like a deep forest A piece of glowing amber.

His good temperament seems to be born with him.How could such a person be just a little-known actor?Mu Ning was suspicious, he actually felt that he had seen this person somewhere.

The man asked another question.The tone was relaxed and familiar, like a greeting from an old friend: "The party is only halfway through, why did you run out?"

When Mu Ning mentioned this matter, he became angry, and said angrily, "I'm angry. But there's nowhere to get angry, so I just want to come out and calm down."

The man said nothing, just looked at him with a smile from the corner of his eyes.

Mu Ning then went on to say: "I have been a trainee for six years before I debuted. I thought I would be able to make it through the debut, but who knows, there is a 'Madam Boss' in the group." Saying the word "Madam Boss" At that moment, Mu Ning winked at the man, and said, "The word 'boss lady', do you know what it means?"

The man nodded and said pointedly: "I know. I've seen a lot."

"Originally, there was a variety show on Channel A who wanted me, so I contacted our agent. Then the agent and the boss asked for instructions, and the duck in his hand became his again. If it weren't for more than half of my contract period, I would have lost my contract. I can't afford to pay, and even if I started playing tricks on TV dramas, I will definitely quit." When Mu Ning said this, he glanced at the man next to him, and added: "I'm also a fallen man at the end of the world, look, You are not famous for being so handsome."

"What's so good about being famous?" the man asked again.

"What's wrong with being famous?" Mu Ning asked aggressively.

The man was startled, then smiled and said, "You are quite ambitious."

"I don't have any ambitions, what kind of entertainment circle should I enter?" Mu Ning replied confidently, and after a few seconds, he realized that the words seemed a bit sharp, so he smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you."

The man said, "No, that's quite true."

During the conversation, the man was already very close to Mu Ning.Their shoulders were shoulder to shoulder, and they seemed to be able to feel the warmth from each other in the cold spring of March.

Mu Ning wanted to have a few more pots of bitterness with this unlucky fellow whose name he didn't even know, but the man had already leaned in front of his eyes and kissed his lips.

Mu Ning stood dumbfounded, his lips didn't move.The man didn't intend to be lingering with him either, after brushing past like a dragonfly, it didn't stay on his lips for long.

"You, you..." Mu Ning was dumbfounded and said incoherently: "I, I, you... crazy!"

The man didn't answer, but said: "Muning. Taihe Entertainment is not your place. I can give you a better platform, as long as you want."

"Bah!" Mu Ning scolded, "Who do you think I am! And—how do you know my name?"

The man put away his kind appearance just now, and a kind of arrogance and self-confidence burst out from his long and narrow eyes.This made his appearance match his elite attire a lot.

He took out a bronzing business card and handed it to Mu Ning: "I'm Zhuang Yao from Juheng Entertainment. Call me after you change your mind."

Three months later, Zhuang Yao saw a string of strange numbers pouring into his private number, and knew that the fish had been hooked.

He picked it up with a steady voice: "Muning."

"Mr. Zhuang." Mu Ning was silent for a while, then said, "I've changed my mind."

Zhuang Yao said, "Okay. Wait for the call."

That night, Zhao Huanlin, the general manager of Juheng Entertainment, called Mu Ning.Zhao Huanlin told him that Juheng's legal department has already hired a lawyer for him, and all matters related to Taihe Entertainment will be handled by the lawyer in the future.

"What about me?" Mu Ning asked confusedly.

"The car is already downstairs in your apartment. The driver will take you to Mr. Zhuang's house." Zhao Huanlin said, "Pack your luggage and come down."

Zhuang Yao gave Mu Ning a ten-year contract.

Ten years later, the 28-year-old Munning's contract is about to expire.

On his 28th birthday, Zhuang Yao gave him a limited edition sports car, a vinyl record that he couldn't find anywhere, and a puppy.Zhuang Yao himself, however, arrived three hours after their appointed time.

"It's late." Zhuang Yao put down his windbreaker and sat down at the table: "Let's eat."

Mu Ning didn't move the knife and fork.

Zhuang Yao asked someone to pour wine, took a sip, and then noticed his abnormality, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhuang," Mu Ning took a deep breath.For the next sentence, it seems to have made a long preparation.He said: "I don't intend to renew the contract with the company."

Zhuang Yao frowned, and was about to ask a question, but Mu Ning continued, "Also, Mr. Zhuang. Let's break up between us."
