Upon hearing Qian Hao's quote, Qin Lang's eyes turned slightly cold, a cold smile playing on his lips. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a few seconds, he looked at Qian Hao and said calmly, "Manager Qian, you think my account, with tens of millions of views and hundreds of thousands of targeted followers, is only worth five thousand yuan? Are you kidding me?"

Qian Hao was surprised that Qin Lang, at such a young age, spoke with such maturity. His expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Qin, you can't say that. Your account is only popular for a short time. It's uncertain whether it will stay popular for long. The fact that we're willing to cooperate with you is already giving you a chance. Five thousand yuan is not a small amount. Many small bloggers want to work with us, but they don't have this opportunity yet."

"No chance?" Qin Lang scoffed. "My account gets tons of private messages from GG merchants offering tens or even thirty thousand yuan, let alone ten thousand. Tell me, why would I choose your five thousand?"

Qian Hao's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Qin Lang, a young man, to be so assertive. He was startled for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and continued to argue, "Qin, those small-time dealers are just small-time operations. Even if they quote high prices, they'll definitely run into all sorts of trouble when it comes to settling accounts. We're different. Xingmang is a legitimate media company. If you cooperate with us, you'll have plenty of long-term resources. How about this, I'll add a little more, eight thousand yuan. This is truly the highest price I can offer; I can't go any higher."

As he spoke, Qian Hao took out two contracts from the folder, filled in the prices on them, and pushed them in front of Qin Lang. He said in a matter-of-fact tone, "This is the cooperation contract. Take a look. If there are no problems, we'll sign it today. After the contract is signed, the deposit will be transferred to you immediately."

Xu Han and the other two remained seated quietly. This was truly their first time experiencing such a scene, and they couldn't offer Qin Lang any advice whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Zheng Jiaqian at the next table was getting restless. With a sour look on her face, she muttered under her breath, "They don't seem to be faking it. Are they really going to let Su Yue get a gold medal?"

Sitting next to her, Zhao Jiuhe, with his ugly left hand resting on Zheng Jiaqian's fair and slender thigh, said with a disdainful look, "None of the things online are real. I bet they're talking about game currency."

After saying that, the old man stretched out his right hand, picked up the coffee in front of him, and gulped down half of it.

"Pfft!" The next second, he spat it back into the cup, his face contorted with bitterness. "Ugh! What is this stuff? Why is it so bitter? Is it expired?"

Zhao Jiuhe's actions attracted a lot of attention from those around him. These people just glanced at this "uncivilized person" with strange expressions, but did not say anything unpleasant. After all, they were all "well-mannered" high-end talents.

"Hiss..." Zheng Jiaqian endured the sudden sharp pain in her thigh, looked up at Zhao Jiuhe, and cursed inwardly, "You old bastard, if you want to vomit, just vomit, why are you grabbing me!"

But reason told her she couldn't lose her temper. If she angered Old Deng, she wouldn't be able to afford the coffee, let alone the phone he promised.

Looking at Old Deng's mouthful of yellow teeth, Zheng Jiaqian suppressed her nausea and forced a concerned expression: "Uncle, are you alright? Did you choke? Is it because you don't like the taste?"

Qin Lang picked up the contract, casually flipped through a couple of pages, and his gaze swept over the important clauses, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Sure enough, there was something fishy going on in this contract.

There were two contracts. One was the written contract, which stated that the cooperation fee was eight thousand yuan, and the terms seemed normal.

The other contract turned out to be a double contract, full of traps. It not only stipulated that Qin Lang had to unconditionally cooperate with the client to modify the content of GG, but also had to bear all the subsequent risks. It even stated that if Qin Lang's account popularity dropped and the expected traffic effect was not achieved, the deposit would be refunded double. It was a completely unfair contract.

Qian Hao watched Qin Lang flip through the contract, assuming he wouldn't understand its intricacies. He was secretly pleased, but put on a friendly face and said in an unquestionable tone, "Qin, this contract is a standard template, there's definitely no problem. Once you sign it, our cooperation is complete, and I guarantee you won't be treated unfairly in the long run."

Seeing Qin Lang's expression was off, Su Yue cautiously approached, but looking at the densely packed clauses on the contract, she was completely bewildered and couldn't understand them at all. She could only look at Qin Lang anxiously.

Ruan Zhihuan also came over, scratched his head, and couldn't understand the trickery in the contract either.

Although Xu Han was intelligent, he had never dealt with commercial contracts before. He could only see that the contract terms were harsh, but he was unaware of the specific traps.

The three of them looked at Qin Lang nervously, unsure of what to do.

Qin Lang slowly put down the contract, looked up at Qian Hao, and his eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.

In an instant, his aura was fully unleashed. At this moment, Qin Lang did not resemble a young man of about twenty years old at all, but rather a seasoned and decisive business veteran.

"Manager Qian, are you treating me like a fool?" Qin Lang's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, instantly lowering the atmosphere on the table to freezing point.

Ruan Zhihuan and Su Yue stared at Qin Lang with starry eyes, completely captivated.

"Brother Lang is so handsome, I love him! That aura, he's the kind of guy you only see in male protagonists of online novels, right?"

Xu Han couldn't help but take a second look. He had to admit, this kid was quite handsome when he got serious.

Qian Hao's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned somewhat ugly. He really hadn't expected Qin Lang to have such a mature mind. He could only force himself to remain calm and said, "Qin, what are you saying? My attitude is very sincere, and our company genuinely wants to cooperate with you."

"Sincere attitude?" Qin Lang picked up the two contracts, slammed them on the table, pointed to the terms, and said bluntly, "The price is only eight thousand. Whether I can accept that price is another matter. You even came up with a dual contract, playing unfair terms with me. Ha, Manager Qian, you really have the nerve to show off your tricks in front of me."

After a pause, Qin Lang's tone grew even colder: "My account is currently ranked number one in the comedy section of Bilibili, and its fan activity is among the highest in the entire internet. If your company really wants to cooperate, the minimum is 50,000. Not a penny less, and there's no point in discussing it."

"Furthermore, if you bring out such degrading things as contracts again, there's no point in negotiating at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Hao's face turned even more ashen. He never expected that this young man, who looked like he hadn't even grown any hair yet, would be so knowledgeable about professional matters like business contracts and GG pricing, able to see through even the tricks in contracts at a glance. Who exactly was he?
