Chapter 20: His face turned black with anger!
"Li Mo, you're something else. This is the first time I've been outmaneuvered by someone less wealthy than me."
"That's a bit too blunt, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang, the CEO of Huanrui, met Li Mo in Hengdian, and Li Mo even hitched a ride with him.
By getting free meals and rides, Li Mo felt he knew how to enjoy life to the fullest.
Feeling the genuine leather seat beneath him, Li Mo felt that he had gained another goal to strive for.
I want to build a winery in the future, and I want to build luxury cars too. Life is so motivating!
The sky had darkened, but countless lights illuminated the city.
Li Mo gazed out the window at the bustling traffic, at the countless people busy with their lives, while he sat quietly in his car, observing it all.
After a while, Li Mo felt that they should talk about something, otherwise it would be a bit awkward for the two of them to sit in the car.
This isn't like Li Yifeng from this morning!
However, Li Mo and President Jiang are of different ages and don't have much in common. What should they talk about?
Mr. Jiang probably felt the same way, so he took the initiative to start the conversation and pulled out a contract.
"I don't like beating around the bush. Come to my company, and I'll make you a top star in three years! I believe that with Huanrui's strength and your potential, this is not a problem!"
"This is the contract I'm giving you!"
His tone was confident and his air of superiority was much stronger than that of Canxing.
Mr. Jiang's words were a bit too blunt; you're not giving people any room for maneuver!
Li Mo was taken aback. "Don't rush with the contract. Let the girl I brought take a look at it later."
Oh, so you brought a lawyer!
Premier Jiang naturally thought of this, but he also understood that it was good for young people to be cautious, as it proved that they were intelligent.
However, Li Mo himself was also curious and opened it to take a look. The contract was very detailed and didn't seem to have any traps.
Huanrui and Li Mo maintained a 40/60 split in revenue sharing, and the company's share of revenue sharing has been decreasing year by year.
Resources include one custom-produced drama series per year, endorsement deals, and covering certain marketing and operational expenses.
In addition, it also includes certain equity incentives, of course, with additional terms.
Li Mo needs to meet certain requirements to obtain it.
In short, it's based on a decent A-level contract, which is very much in line with Li Mo's current price.
It can be said that if Li Mo chooses to sign the contract, his status in the company will be far greater than that of Li Yifeng now.
Of course, he is still some distance away from the explosive popularity of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
However, behind these tempting conditions lies Li Mo's five years of service and a breach of contract penalty in the tens of millions.
While Li Mo was reviewing the contract, General Manager Jiang was also observing Li Mo.
Um... how should I put it... a little disappointed.
Huanrui has signed many people; some were excited, some hesitated, and some were angry, but none were like Li Mo.
He showed little emotion, as if everything was normal, like a seasoned veteran.
However, the surprises Li Mo brought him today were clearly not limited to these, as time went on.
The vehicle drove into a winery, and Mr. Jiang was somewhat surprised by the elegant surroundings.
This doesn't seem like a place that a poor person like Li Mo could afford.
Isn't he the kind of person who can almost go bankrupt just by buying coffee?
...
Yang Mi arrived a little earlier than Li Mo.
On the one hand, she was closer to him, and on the other hand, Li Mo still needed to meet with President Jiang.
And perhaps she was angered by Canxing, which caused her to drive much faster.
Yang Mi's appearance was like Wang Xifeng in Dream of the Red Chamber—her voice was heard before she was seen.
Before even entering the door, her emotions were already running high. As soon as she pushed open the door, Yang Mi, leading the Canxing group, looked extremely smug.
Look at our momentum!
Come on, Director Kim, come here and let's chat.
But before Yang Mi could be smug for long, she gradually realized that something was wrong.
Even her sisters aren't on her side!
Jin Lei: I don't think Jiaxing is a good fit for Li Mo right now.
Qin Lan and others: Yes!
Yang Mi: ? ?
Jin Lei: I believe that a good management company has a great influence on an artist, and one cannot act on emotions.
Qin Lan and others: Yes!
Yang Mi: ? ?
Jin Lei: I think…
Yang Mi: Wait a minute…
Yang Mi looked at her sisters in confusion. What's going on? Aren't we a group?
Seeing that it was her turn to make her appearance, Qin Lan did not hesitate and sat down next to Yang Mi.
"Honey, there's something I'll tell you. I'm here to talk to you about Li Mo's future development."
Qin Lan's expression was somewhat subtle, and Yang Mi thought that Qin Lan hoped Jiaxing would offer Li Mo a better contract.
"Yes, I know. Jiaxing will give him a new contract soon."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Qin Lan directly stated: "I meant for him to come to my place."
Yang Mi: ...Huh, why is my nose red?
Canxing's Jin Lei couldn't help but chuckle, "Wow, this is amazing! A popular female star is tearing each other apart online."
This angered Yang Mi so much that her breasts grew larger and her face turned red.
What fucking sisters? It's all bullshit!
How embarrassing! How incredibly embarrassing! I excitedly brought people here to laugh at myself. I, Yang Mi, am the first person in history to do this.
Just then, the door opened, and Li Mo finally made his grand entrance.
When he saw the people inside, to be honest, he considered pretending to be passing by and then leaving.
He swore that he and Reba were just talking casually, and he never intended to do something as outrageous as creating a group chat for them.
And now it's not a group chat anymore, it's a direct offline meeting.
On the field, there's Yang Mi's side, Qin Lan's side, Canxing's side, and oh right, Huanrui's side behind them.
Li Mo wasn't the only one stunned; so was Jiang, the CEO of Huanrui, who was behind him.
He was told it would be just one person, but a dozen showed up. However, when he saw Yang Mi, he instantly understood.
Oh, so this is a show of force to intimidate me!
Alright, alright, I, Jiang Lei, have seen it all. Come on, let's have a go.
He didn't think it was Li Mo who organized the event. What a joke! How could he possibly put together such a lineup of guests?
Who else could have organized this gathering besides Yang Mi?
President Jiang didn't mince words. He walked past Li Mo, stood in front of Yang Mi, and said without any politeness:
"Huanrui's contact with Li Mo is a normal business transaction. If you, Yang Mi, are dissatisfied with this, there's no need to be so childish and make such a big fuss."
"We at Huanrui don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!"
"..."
President Jiang's tone was firm and quite blunt, meaning only one thing: Yang Mi, you're not qualified to intimidate me!
If Yang Mi's face was red before, it's a bit darker now.
Isn't she wronged? She didn't do anything, yet it's all being targeted at her!
Sisters betray each other, rivals watch the show, and then the sisters are criticized by everyone.
You're all bullying me, aren't you? Fine, fine, I, Yang Mi, will remember this humiliation. Three years from now, when I, Yang Mi, ascend to the ranks of the elite...
I'm determined to make you all look good!
Yang Mi picked up her bag, glared at everyone, and angrily left in her high heels.
