A writer has arrived in the Chinese entertainment industry.

At the beginning of the year, Dilraba auditioned for the TV series "Micro Era," produced by Yang Mi Studio under Huanrui Media. She performed exceptionally well, passing two rounds and almost securing a contract. However, at this crucial moment, she suddenly received a call from her father.

Her father was the principal singer of the Western Regions Song and Dance Troupe, and the purpose of the phone call was clear—to urge her to return home immediately, join the troupe for closed training, and prepare for a cultural exchange activity in Islamabad in September.

This year is a milestone year for China-Pakistan relations, with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) concept officially proposed in May. Following this, cooperation between the two countries in areas such as trade, infrastructure, defense, and cultural exchanges has accelerated across the board.

This cultural exchange activity was carried out against this backdrop.

Thus, the timeline shifts here. This is precisely what Su Liu meant by destiny.

After the call was disconnected, Dilraba stood there, holding her phone in a daze, feeling slightly uneasy. She was currently sitting in a corner of Starbucks, waiting for the other party to come and sign her management contract.

Dilraba, who recently returned to Shanghai, actually had some complaints about her father. Most of her classmates had already signed with companies. Several of her classmates who auditioned with her at the beginning of the year had already signed with Yang Mi's studio, and some of them had already joined two production teams.

For the older generation, being able to participate in such national affairs was an unparalleled honor. But for her, the situation was somewhat helpless.

Until recently, she tried contacting Yang Mi's studio, thinking she had missed her chance, but to her surprise, they were still willing to sign her. At that moment, she was overjoyed and quickly finalized the time and place for signing the contract.

Right here, right now, today.

However, the situation has now changed. Mr. Su, the CEO of Fuxing Culture, speaks with such sincerity that it's impossible to refuse! Reba's emotions are involuntarily swayed by his completely unreasonable attitude.

Now, she's really having some troubles.

The glass door of Starbucks was pushed open, and Dilraba saw a short-haired woman wearing a blue sweatshirt walking towards her from the doorway. She had a round face and smiling eyes, and looked like an easy-going person.

"Reba?" The woman sat down in the seat opposite Reba.

Dilraba quickly responded, "Yes, it's me."

"My surname is Zhao. Yang Mi Studio asked me to come and handle your contract."

Zhao Ruoyao is the vice president of Huanrui Media. She's currently in Shanghai discussing distribution channels for "Micro Era" and the upcoming "Gu Jian Qi Tan." Yesterday, she received a call from Yang Mi, asking her to come and sign a new talent.

"Oh, hello Teacher Zhao."

Zhao Ruoyao took a document out of her bag and handed it over.

"Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it." Then she added, "Did you come alone?"

"Yes."

"Oh, it's okay. The contract is standard and there aren't many complicated procedures."

Reba looked at the contract in her hand, but her thoughts inexplicably drifted elsewhere. Would that President Su really come? Should she continue to wait?

Since there are two options, it's essential to compare the conditions of both sides to see which is the better solution. Dilraba isn't particularly ambitious, and most of the time she adopts a laissez-faire attitude. But she also understands that even when buying something, you compare prices from different vendors, let alone when it comes to a contract that concerns her future. Comparing the options is perfectly reasonable.

"Teacher Zhao, I...can I...think about it?" Dilraba was a little embarrassed and not very confident.

"Consider?" Zhao Ruoyao frowned, her tone turning serious. "Reba, I heard that you were the one who took the initiative to contact Yang Mi's side."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry." Dilraba was startled and quickly lowered her head.

"Now that I've brought the contract, are you going to reconsider? Do you think you're so rare that we absolutely have to sign you?"

"No, no, no!" Dilraba's face turned deathly pale in an instant, her hands waving frantically as she desperately tried to deny it. "I, I... I just..."

Zhao Ruoyao leaned back, her expression calm and serene.

"Other companies have contacted you, right?"

"......yes."

Which one?

"...is a company called 'Revival Culture'."

Fuxing Culture? Zhao Ruoyao quickly ran through the name in her mind, confirming that she had never heard of such a talent agency in the industry. However, there are so many talent agencies of all sizes in China, and the fact that she hadn't heard of it could only mean that this company hadn't made a name for itself yet and wasn't considered a reputable name.

She let out a long sigh of relief and managed to muster some patience.

"Dilraba, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm currently the Vice General Manager of Huanrui. You know Huanrui, right?"

"Know."

"Dilraba, you need to understand this: Huanrui is a well-established film and television company in the industry. Yang Mi's studio, which you're about to sign with, is currently under Huanrui, and she herself holds company stock and is one of the shareholders. I wouldn't bother saying all this to anyone else, but Mi Mi values ​​you a lot, do you understand?"

Zhao Ruoyao's tone turned slightly contemptuous as she said this, "This industry is a mixed bag, you can find all sorts of people. Revival Culture? I've never even heard of it, it's some kind of lowlife that popped up out of nowhere. A management company is an artist's lifeline; if you accidentally sign the wrong person, it'll be too late to regret it."

Just as Zhao Ruoyao finished speaking these confident and bold words, she suddenly noticed that Dilraba's gaze had passed over her and looked behind her. Immediately afterwards, she felt someone lightly pat her shoulder twice.

She turned her head sharply and saw a handsome young man standing beside her.

To Zhao Ruoyao's astonishment, the handsome man bent down slightly, looked directly into her eyes, and said in a calm tone as if discussing the weather: "You're the real scoundrel."

The woman, who had just finished speaking harshly, was startled by Su Liu's sudden appearance. Her voice carried a hint of sternness: "Who are you?"

Su Liu ignored her and extended his hand to Reba across from him, "Hello, Reba, I'm Su Liu."

Dilraba was a little flustered by this sudden reversal, but quickly reached out and shook hands after she came to her senses.

"President Su? You, how can you be so handsome?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Dilraba's heart tightened, and she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

Su Liu had been praised for his appearance by countless beautiful girls, and his heart was already indifferent.

"Don't easily reveal your true feelings." Su Liu glanced at the contract on the table, grabbed it, and started flipping through it.

In the entertainment industry, all contracts are trade secrets; how can they be shown to just anyone? Zhao Ruoyao quickly reached out to snatch it back, but Xiao Liu immediately stepped forward to block her.

Zhao Ruoyao was struggling to break through Xiao Liu's defenses.

Su Liu pretended to be looking at the contract, but he didn't actually look at it at all, and casually threw the document on the table.

"What's the point of signing this contract?" He sat down in the empty seat next to Dilraba with complete ease, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Dilraba, don't sign it, come with me."

Zhao Ruoyao didn't think Dilraba was irreplaceable, but after so many years in the industry, if an unknown person snatched her away right in front of her, wouldn't she lose all face? How could she continue to work in the industry after that?

"Dilraba, think this through," she leaned forward, her tone heavy. "In the entertainment industry, the most important things are a solid foundation and resources. What kind of projects can a small, unknown studio offer to promote you?"
