Chapter 246: Three consecutive attacks succeeded
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng was really glad that he had pulled Lee Hyori onto the carriage. Although many people didn't know what Antenna Family was, most people knew that this was Lee Hyori's agency.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and said, "That's right. If you have any ideas, you can find time to come to my company over there!"
Li Youli mustered up the courage to look into Zheng Xiuheng's eyes. The two looked at each other for a moment. Li Youli said in a trembling voice: "Can you really support me like you supported Zhang Ziyan? Let me play a good role? The second female lead, or even the female lead?"
Staring at Li Yuli blankly, Zheng Xiuheng discovered the fire and... unwillingness in Li Yuli's eyes.
Zheng Xiuheng suddenly had a little thought of refusing at this moment, because it was hard to say whether he could get out of his trap. But Zheng Xiuheng knew very well that if he had to wait until he was qualified to sign someone, it would mean losing all opportunities, just like signing Lee Hyori at a sky-high price.
"Of course, I invited you because I'm optimistic about your acting skills and your future. If you can't even do what you said, then why would I invite you? Wouldn't it be a boring action?" Zheng Xiuheng said with a smile, but in his heart he felt speechless that he was becoming more and more like a liar. However, this was not the first time. He just hoped that the company could really develop and become competitive in the future so that it wouldn't have to cheat people like this.
Li Youli didn't know if it was because she was too nervous, she actually swallowed and the expression on her face was conflicted.
Seeing that she was already considering it, Zheng Xiuheng simply added fuel to the fire and asked, "Does Zheng Dabin know?"
"I know!" This time, Li Youli's response was not as sincere as before, but her expression was a little strange, as if she had guessed something.
"She is also an artist of my company and is now preparing to make a comeback. She will play the leading role in a movie invested by ShowBox, a medium-budget film!"
There is no better way than bribery. For Lee Yu-ri, who has been enduring an unknown life, the three examples mentioned by Jung Soo-heng completely moved her. Jung Da-bin is a little better, and Lee Yu-ri also admits her acting skills and image, but it is too hurtful that a newcomer like Jang Ja-yeon is doing better than her.
"There are only two actors in the company right now. If you join, you'll be the third actor. You should know that the number of artists in an agency is always linked to resource allocation. Although I'm just a newcomer in the entertainment industry, this fact should give you more confidence. Think about it carefully. If you have any ideas, call me!"
At this moment, Lee Yu-ri has been hit by Zheng Xiuheng's one, two, and three consecutive hits, and she is dizzy . There is no doubt that in the entertainment industry, Zheng Xiuheng's words are very fatal. Don't you see that many third-tier actors are willing to sacrifice their bodies for a role. After so many years of being unknown, Lee Yu-ri fully understands how attractive Zheng Xiuheng's words are to unknown actors.
Most importantly, Lee Yu-ri is not a truly unknown actress. At least in the eyes of many directors and writers in the industry, she is a very capable actress. But she is just a typical supporting actress.
But it is undeniable that her downfall is also related to her agency.
"Well...if I sign a contract with your company..."
"Huh?" Zheng Xiuheng wondered if he was hallucinating, as if he heard Li Yuli talking about signing a contract with his company.
"Signing a contract with your company...is there a signing fee?" Li Youli asked in a mosquito-like voice with a red face.
Zheng Xiuheng's eyes widened, and he was shocked by this strange question. But after a brief moment of surprise, Zheng Xiuheng was delighted. He came to his senses and smiled, "Of course there is, but according to your current worth, it won't be too much, but it won't be too stingy either. Why is your contract expired?"
" Two months left!"
"Are you willing to join my company?" Zheng Xiuheng asked with some anticipation. He didn't know if it was because he was about to succeed in poaching people, but he suddenly felt some inexplicable pleasure.
Li Youli bit her lower lip and remained silent for a while. She raised her head and looked at Zheng Xiuheng sincerely and asked, "Can I trust you?"
Zheng Xiuheng was slightly stunned. He understood the meaning of Li Yuli's words in an instant. Such words always bring a heavy feeling to people, as if the other party entrusted everything to him. In fact, Zheng Xiuheng was not willing to take any responsibility for everyone, but Li Yuli asked, and Zheng Xiuheng had to answer.
After a similar silence, Zheng Xiuheng looked at Li Youli and replied calmly, "Okay, but there is a prerequisite!"
"What?"
"You truly believe in me unconditionally, not just saying you believe in me!"
Zheng Xiuheng's answer was not excessive, but made Li Youli feel at ease. Looking at Zheng Xiuheng again at this moment, she found that this president was very young and handsome, looked very scholarly, and gave people a high sense of trust.
"I am willing to join your company and I will believe in you unconditionally. I don't care whether I can become a big star or not, but... I must prove myself. I am definitely no worse than anyone else. I am one of the best actresses in Korea. Even if I am not now, I believe in you, so I will definitely be the best actress in the future, definitely..."
Zheng Xiuheng felt suppressed instantly because the woman in front of him widened her eyes fanatically, which reminded Zheng Xiuheng of Lee Yuri in "The Ghostly Pen", and he instantly felt like he saw a woman possessed by a ghost.
However, this aura is no joke. There is confidence in it, but more of it is unwillingness and expectation for the future. Perhaps it is because of this that the expression looks a little scary.
"Ahem, okay, you scared me. Remember to keep smiling and be sweet to your boss. Your contract with the company is about to expire, so just come out. If you have any trouble or want to do anything, you can call me. As for the signing bonus..."
"No matter how much it is, I want to use it all to pay off that bastard's debt. If the truth is as you said, then I am indeed responsible for this matter. Also... I'm sorry for scaring you!"
If it weren't for the fact that Lee Yu-ri looked genuinely embarrassed, Zheng Xiuheng would have thought that she was mocking him, and that he was just joking, but she took it seriously.
Shaking his head, Zheng Xiuheng asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to use the signing bonus to pay off that guy's debt?"
"Um... can you tell me roughly how much the signing bonus will be?"
Li Youli suddenly looked a little bit distressed, which was quite interesting. Zheng Xiuheng thought for a while and said, "Fifty million!"
"Gurgle!"
Zheng Xiuheng wanted to cover his face. She was obviously a beautiful and cool woman, but why was she so speechless? The sound of her swallowing was really loud this time.
"How about... using 40 million... No, forget it, just, just, just pay off the debt in full!"
"Hey, hey, why are you crying again?"
"I, I'm just heartbroken!"
Zheng Xiuheng suddenly felt a little regretful. This woman’s spiritual world should not be in the two-dimensional world. Although it may not be the fourth dimension, the three-dimensional world is possible.
However, seeing Li Yuli crying in pain, Zheng Xiuheng started to laugh again. She was willing to use the signing fee of 50 million to pay off her ex-boyfriend's loan. No matter what the reason was, it was enough to prove that this woman was kind-hearted.
Although it's a bit embarrassing, Li Youli's choice is equivalent to helping Zheng Xiuheng save tens of millions of signing fees. As long as the scumbag is not allowed to contact Li Youli again, it will be fine.
"Okay, I'll take care of the debt . I'll still pay you 10 million for the signing fee, and the rest will be used to deal with the debt. But don't meet with that kind of person from today on. He was beaten by us today, and it was his own request. It's not a good thing to be too soft-hearted. As for the rest, don't worry, the company will arrange it. But before signing the contract, this debt cannot be offset, and it can only be postponed at most. I'll explain these things to you first to avoid misunderstandings!"
Li Yuli began to be dazed again, as if she was shocked by Zheng Xiuheng's words.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head, took out his phone and called Jin Guanglu, telling him to tell the scumbag that he only needs to repay 100 million of his debt when it is due, and the rest will be deferred for three months. Miss Li Yuli helped him repay part of it, and the reason for the deferred payment was also because of Miss Li Yuli's request, so tell that guy never to appear in front of Miss Li Yuli again.
That's enough to say. Jin Guanglu should be able to do better than he imagined. As for the debt, Zheng Xiuheng thought about it and decided to reduce it appropriately, just as the signing fee paid by Li Youli. But it will definitely not be 40 million. Zheng Xiuheng will consider whether to remove the interest part or an appropriate 10 million. The rest will be settled after the contract is signed, and it doesn't matter if there are any leaks.
Looking at the time, it was already past six o'clock and the sun began to set. He invited Lee Yu-ri to have dinner together, and then... after being rejected, Zheng Xiuheng drove her to her residence and went home.
In Lee Yu-ri's words, it's to avoid scandals...
Zheng Xiuheng could only smile bitterly. The professionalism of this actress was admirable. So Zheng Xiuheng could only drive home and accept his sister's punishment...the meal of love.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
"Jiyuan, suck your sister... No, let me do it, I'll do it!"
The middle-aged woman with gray hair looked at her daughter preparing dinner in the kitchen, and quickly changed the subject. She carefully reached out her hand and took the crutches beside the bed to support herself and get out of bed. Her lower body had two empty trouser legs, one of which was broken at the base, and the other was broken at the calf.
In the kitchen, the frying oil splashed and crackled as the vegetables were put into the pot. The girl in the black T-shirt listened to the ringing sound that kept drilling into her ears, as if a devil's sound entered her brain. Her body kept shaking and her right hand tightly grasped the spatula.
