Huayu: Live a carefree life

After a night of psychological support from Fanfan, Lu Jie quickly forgot about the unpleasantness.

After all, a dog is one who can't get what it wants; those who can lick each other's boots don't count!

That old bastard Sun Zhonghuai is just jealous of me, yes, jealous! Next time I'll definitely squeeze more good resources out of him!

The following morning, after dropping Fanfan off at her workplace, Lu Jie headed straight to the Capital Airport to pick up Wang Churan.

This young miner was really hungry. I sent him a mining record before he left home for the airport in the morning. The temperature was so high that it was unbearable.

But when the tall and slender Chu Ran once again threw herself into Lu Jie's arms, those evil thoughts of punishment disappeared.

He could feel the affection and joy emanating from Chu Ran's body when she hugged him tightly; this girl truly liked him!

A simp? Heh heh~ Can a simp get this kind of treatment? It's just a dream!

Wang Churan wore her long hair down today, with a white down jacket over straight-leg jeans and snow boots, a typical youthful college girl look.

"host……"

She was about to speak when Lu Jie pressed his finger against her red lips. "Just call me husband or brother. I can feel whether you care about me or not."

"Mmm~ Chu Ran will listen to whatever you say, brother! Brother, I miss you so much! Mua~"

Lu Jie readily accepted, put his arm around her shoulder, and said earnestly, "I miss you too, Chu Ran."

"Hmm~ Hehe! By the way, Xiaocun is staying at school recently, so I won't be staying with her~"

Seeing Lu Jie's questioning look, she explained gently, "She's the lady of the house, so it's fine for me to stay there and work with her."

"She lives at school, and I live at her house. I always feel like I'm taking over her place."

"When I asked you last time why you didn't play Tang Yan, you said 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.' I put myself in your shoes and thought about it."

"If you bring another woman, even if it's Xiao Cun, to our place to have sex when I'm not in Shanghai, I'll feel very disappointed."

At this point, Wang Churan pursed her lips. "Brother, am I being too selfish?"

Lu Jie felt that after not seeing her for more than half a month, this girl had become more and more considerate of others.

He affectionately smoothed her hair. "No, I've said before that you are all independent individuals. It's normal to be selfish and jealous."

After collecting her luggage and handing it to driver Lao Chen, Lu Jie led her to the back seat of the official vehicle, a 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Maybach S680, which was subject to license plate restrictions today.

Rolls-Royce comes standard with a cabin partition, unlike the Maybach S680 which offers it as an option. Theoretically, this partition can be installed in the rear seats.

However, Lu Jie only kissed Chu Ran, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and didn't even let her practice her lines.

He felt sorry for Wang Churan because she was too humble in front of him, which was completely at odds with her bright and elegant appearance.

He helped the girl up, who was still trying to bend over to practice her lines. "Chu Ran, are you in such a hurry? If you keep this up, I'll really have to take you to see a doctor~"

"Oh dear~ I just miss you, I miss your scent, I miss everything about you!" Wang Churan sat up helplessly and leaned against him, pouting in protest.

"You're quite the talker~ Let's go to the company first, process your contract, and then introduce you to the head of the artist department and your team."

Wang Churan's eyes widened. "A team? Mine?"

"Well, you're starting filming next month, so we need to make sure you have an assistant, executive agent, driver, and security."

Wang Churan hugged Lu Jie's arm tightly and gave him a sweet kiss, "Mua~ Thank you, brother, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life!"

"It's cheesy, just keep it to yourself." Lu Jie gently flicked her nose. "Yang Rong said you have a background in opera, which gives you a big advantage in period dramas."

"They also praised you for studying so diligently, saying you're talented and hardworking, and that you'll definitely become a big star someday! You're really amazing, my little miner~"

"Hehe, of course! My brother has said before that I'll be representing you in public from now on, so I definitely can't let you lose face!"

Lu Jie stared into Wang Churan's beautiful eyes, smiled, and stroked his pretty face. "Yes, as expected of my Churan!"

One hour later, in the Lingjie Entertainment office area of ​​the Guomao office building.

Yangyang Jin and Wang Churan shook hands and took a photo together, with the latter officially becoming a signed artist with Lingjie Entertainment.

Since it was his own company, Lu Jie didn't need to hide anything, so he directly hugged and kissed the somewhat excited Wang Churan in front of her team.

"Yangjin, contact Hou Hongliang later and get Chu Ran's two contracts to sign. Chu Ran is in Beijing these days."

Yangyang Jin still remembered that Lu Jie had said last time that he had arranged two major supporting roles for this person, both of which were in serious dramas produced by major companies.

"By the way, I've talked to Yang Rong. She'll come to Lingjie when her contract with Huanyu expires at the end of the year. You should contact her in advance. Her salary and benefits will be the same as Zhang Songwen's."

Yang Yang was taken aback. Who was Yang Rong? Wait, Huanyu, Yang Rong? She asked uncertainly, "Is it that 'Little Kite'?"

"Yes, it's her." Lu Jie nodded towards Wang Churan. "I found her an acting coach for Churan, and it just so happens that she lives in Shanghai."

"Okay." Yangyang Jin nodded in agreement. Her boss was quite capable.

A healthy entertainment company should have young idols like Hu Lianxin and Wang Churan, as well as established actors like Yang Rong and Zhang Songwen, and talents like Zhu Lilan and Su Zepeng.

"Boss, how about we sign a few male artists?" Yangyang Jin thought for a moment and then suggested, "Let's be realistic, training male artists will be more profitable."

Lu Jie smiled and nodded, "Sure, although I don't care about making money. But you're right, Zhang Xincheng, who's currently starring in our 'Someday or One Day,' is quite good. You should try signing him."

Yangyang Jin didn't expect that Lu Jie would not only adopt her opinion directly, but also give her a clear goal, but this goal is a bit difficult to achieve.

"Uh, boss, Zhang Xincheng is a contracted artist with EE-Media. He's still on the rise, so it would be very difficult to poach him. The termination fee would probably be astronomical."

Lu Jie recalled the gossip he had heard, "Is it Tianyu Media, the company under Mango TV?"

"You should talk to Zhang Xincheng first. He has to be willing to do it himself." Lu Jie smiled at Yang Yangjin. "The termination fee is 1500 million... and we'll sign it for no more than 2000 million."

"Forget about 2000 million, she's not even a beauty."

Yangyang Jin gave a wry smile. "Boss, won't this offend Mango?"

"What's there to offend or not offend? The fact that we chose Zhang Xincheng proves that they have good taste, doesn't it?" Lu Jie said indifferently. "It's business, if it works out, we do; if it doesn't, we part ways. It's not like we're not going to pay the termination fee."

Lu Jie told Chu Ran to go to his office first, then he and Yangyang Jin went to the smoking area and he took a cigarette from her. "When we talk about the specifics, your attitude can be gentle but not soft."

"If the price difference is too big, then forget it. We won't be taken advantage of. Whether it's the stock market or resources, I have the ability to control them."

Yangyang flicked her cigarette ash and thought for a moment, "Then, during the talks, should we subtly reveal to...?"

"Are you stupid? How can you do something like this so openly?" Lu Jie rolled his eyes helplessly. "You... never mind, let Zixian handle Zhang Xincheng's matter."

Upon hearing her boss change his tune, Yangyang Jin realized she had just said something incredibly stupid. "Boss, I..."

Lu Jie stubbed out his cigarette and waved his hand, "It's okay, everyone has limitations. You've been in the entertainment industry for so long, it's normal for your thinking to become rigid. This time, just follow Zixian and see, hear, and learn more."

"Okay, I definitely will!" Yangyang Jin felt a little relieved to hear that her boss's tone was still gentle. "If we sign Zhang Xincheng, what would be a suitable profit-sharing ratio?"

"Young artists with some fame like him usually get a 6-year contract. He's currently still getting a 91% cut with EE-Media. Should we give him 82% or 73%?"

Lu Jie stubbed out his cigarette and smiled. "Be generous. What would someone want from switching jobs if they only got an 82? Just sign a 73 for 6 years, then switch to a 64 after 3 years, and promise him at least one leading role in a drama every year."

"That's really generous~" Yangyang Jin raised the corners of her mouth, "Then it mainly depends on Tianyu's reaction."
