Chapter 100 The King of Gambling as Assistant Jiangbei's Agent (1/2)
Winter nights in Embroidery Village are quiet and cold.
An inn, with a few dark lights, bamboo leaves swaying in front of the courtyard, and the wooden door frame rustling with the wind.
"This door has been severely damaged recently. How about asking a carpenter to repair it tomorrow?" Li Youqing stood at the door and poked at the wooden door, asking worriedly.
Recently, due to the high volume of guest traffic in the inn, many buildings have inevitably suffered bumps and bruises and have suffered a certain degree of wear and tear.
Especially wooden doors, which are often pushed around, are among the most severely damaged buildings.
"There's no need to find a carpenter for this thing. Just wait until I get a hammer and hit it a few times." Liangliang held the toothpick in her mouth and went back to the room to get the hammer.
"Are you really able to do that?"
"sure."
Liangliang returned with a hammer and a box of nails, squatted next to the wooden door and started working. Li Youqing helped to hold the wooden door to prevent it from moving.
Jiang Bei was sitting at the dinner table, eating meat and drinking wine, looking carefree.
In fact, as a man, you should be like him, let women do all the cooking, washing, clothes and work. Men should only enjoy clothes, food and mouth. This is the world worth living.
"呲流~"
Take a sip of white wine.
Beautiful.
Um.
It's just that this wine is a bit bitter, so I need to eat some food.
"Dong dong dong~~"
"Dong dong dong~"
It has to be said that the gambling king Zhang Jiuliang is good at anything except gambling. He stabilized the wooden door in three strokes, five divided by two, and won the praise of Li Youqing.
"Okay! Craftsman."
"These are simple skills necessary for life. You can't just say that you are too spoiled." Liangliang put away the hammer and nails, returned to his seat and sat down, complaining.
Li Youqing didn't refute. He sat down opposite and said meaningfully: "Since you have enough life skills, why not come and be my assistant."
assistant?
Jiang Bei, who was already seventy percent drunk, felt moved when he heard this and asked, "Are you going to sign with a brokerage company?"
Li Youqing nodded and replied: "Of course, otherwise who will find the resources for you to put on a variety show and release an album."
When you are a star, it is essential to sign with a brokerage company, because in the entertainment industry, many resources will not come to your door just because you are popular.
For example, for a variety show, most of the TV station's resources will be allocated to business partners who often cooperate with the TV station, and only a small number of them will consider looking for current topical artists in the entertainment industry. This is because this will help deepen the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Another example is that as a singer, if you don't have a contract with a company, it will be difficult for you to get famous songwriters to write lyrics and compose music for you, and you won't even be able to get in touch with that circle at all.
This is especially true for film and television dramas. In addition to company resources, there are also various intricate circles. Generally, artists in the same circle will pay more attention to them, while those outside the circle will be somewhat repelled.
Therefore, if an artist does not have a contract company in the entertainment industry, it will be extremely difficult to obtain resources on his own.
"Have you decided which company to sign with?" When it came to serious matters, Jiang Bei stopped drinking, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and asked casually.
"There are several companies we are in contact with, and they look good, but the contract period is too long. It could be five or ten years at a time, which is really annoying." Li Youqing muttered and complained.
This contract period is actually normal, because after signing an artist, the agency needs to spend a lot of money and time to train it. Sometimes it is normal for the artist to have stayed with the agency for two or three years before he or she debuts.
So if the contract period of the agency is not long, wouldn’t it be a huge loss if the contract expires just after the artist has become famous?
Even if the contract can be renewed, the treatment of those who signed the contract before and after it is signed is very different.
Jiangbei nodded silently when he heard this, thinking in his mind whether to let Li Shushuo sign Li Youqing.
After all, if Li Youqing can sign a contract with Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, it will be equivalent to binding her with a contract. At that time, it will not be up to him whether the company will provide resources or not?
This is doable.
But considering the current strength of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, Li Youqing may not be able to watch it.
The only competitive advantage is the contract period and benefits.
"I'm not going to be your assistant." At this time Liangliang also expressed his position and rejected Li Youqing's proposal.
"It's great to be an assistant. You can meet many celebrities and make money." Li Youqing continued to bewitch.
Liangliang was playing with her cell phone and was about to shake her head in refusal when she suddenly felt kicked. Zhang Jiuliang, who was instantly smart, immediately reacted and replied: "How much does it cost per month?"
"Five hundred." Li Youqing glanced at Jiangbei, picked up a grape and ate it.
"Five hundred? Our waiter earns five thousand a month!" Liangliang suddenly became unhappy and shouted loudly, banging the table.
"For you, five hundred and five thousand is just one round. I would like to give you a little more, but do you think your brother will let you take that much money?" Li Youqing ate the grapes and replied with a smile.
When gambling king Zhang Jiuliang heard this, he thought it was the same thing.
The 200,000 yuan from the last movie "Mood Inn" was taken away by my brother in the name of "keeping it for you". Even the recent revenue from the inn is the same. Poor Xiao Liang still only gets 2 yuan a month.
A hundred yuan of pocket money is humble and pitiful.
Hmm... Speaking of which, my sister-in-law's 300,000 yuan hasn't been given to her yet.
This ruthless couple is an obstacle on the way for the gambling king to make a comeback!
"Okay, five hundred is five hundred, but all expenses must be reimbursed."
Anyway, I have to agree. It’s not bad to make an extra five hundred yuan a month. At least we will dare to bet five hundred yuan a game with others in the future, right?
"No problem, I will officially start working after I sign with the agency."
In this way, Liangliang was assigned to Li Youqing as an assistant.
But it doesn't end there.
After dinner at the Mood Inn, the young couple drove back to their home in Arcadia. After each going to wash up, Jiang Bei was about to go back to the house to sleep when he was stopped by Li Youqing, who was lying on the sofa and applying a facial mask.
"Beibei, why don't you come over and help me, and be my agent."
broker?
Jiang Bei frowned and thought about Li Youqing's intention in doing this.
Could it be that you want to draw him into the entertainment industry?
Or are you trying to humiliate him?
"I heard from Sister Sui Xi that managers are the artists' closest helpers and they must be chosen carefully."
"Aren't all agents arranged by the agency? And aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for you after I become an agent?"
Although this proposal was more beneficial to Jiangbei, he still had to test Li Youqing's true purpose of doing this.
"It doesn't matter. I can indicate this before signing a contract with the agency. If they don't agree, I would rather refuse to sign the contract. As for whether you will cause trouble..." At this point, Li Youqing raised his leg and rested it naturally.
He rubbed his legs and said, "We have a gentleman's agreement. If you make trouble, then I don't have to abide by the agreement."
This girl is really good at calculating.
"Okay, I agree." Jiang Bei pretended to hesitate for a while and replied.
The reason why he agreed was simple.
Using his career as an agent to hold back Li Youqing is one thing, and he can also monitor her movements at any time to avoid things beyond his control.
"Beibei, you are so kind." Li Youqing scratched his thigh with her toes.
Jiang Bei looked down at the white and tender feet and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold them.
Soft in hand and extremely comfortable to the touch.
Li Youqing didn't seem to resist, lying on the sofa with her eyes closed and applying the facial mask, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
There seems to be something going on?
Just when I thought I could move my hand up through my pajamas, a teasing voice suddenly sounded: "I can't drink, and I can't win, so why don't you keep pushing your hand inside?"
These words were indeed a bit hurtful. Jiang Bei took off his legs and walked towards his room with a dark face.
When he walked to the door of the room, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Li Youqing on the sofa, and quietly walked to the wine rack and took a bottle of white wine into the room.
"Go to bed early."
‘Creak~’
The door to the room was closed, and Li Youqing, who was lying on the sofa, raised his mobile phone. The door of Jiangbei's room was reflected on the screen.
"Silly Hanhan, that wine is 52 degrees. Let me see if you have a headache tomorrow."
…
The stamina of the liquor was really strong, making Jiang Bei feel dizzy and weak the next day.
Even drinking the hangover medicine left by Li Youqing didn't work, so he could only lie on the sofa to recuperate.
"Hanhan, I made an appointment with a brokerage company today to discuss a contract. I won't be back for lunch at noon. And you are now my broker, so I give you a task to help me find a suitable brokerage company.
Remember not to cause trouble, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!”
This is a social message message sent to him by Li Youqing.
The content of the message was good and he liked it very much.
"The arrangements have been clearly made for you, sister!"
Jiangbei happily found Li Shushu, the general manager of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, edited a message and sent it: "Go and sign Li Youqing. No matter what conditions she puts forward, you must agree."
At the headquarters of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment Company, Li Shushuang was helping to find resources for the company's artists. Suddenly, an icon popped up in the lower right corner. He subconsciously pulled it out and saw that it was a message from the boss.
After reading the news, Li Shushu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It's exactly what Fatty Hai said, the boss bought Yihe to pave the way for his wife."
In fact, before Li Youqing was confirmed as the heroine of "Mood Inn", Li Shushuang did not know the relationship between his boss and Li Youqing.
Later, after learning in Embroidery Village that they were husband and wife, Li Shushu became confused about his boss asking him to hide the relationship between Yihe and his boss from everyone, including Li Youqing.
It wasn't until one day when he asked Fatty Hai that his boss wanted to secretly help his wife develop in the entertainment industry, so he did a lot of things in private.
At that time, Li Shushu half believed this statement, because if he really wanted to help, there was no need to hide it, and if he really didn't like his wife entering the entertainment industry, there was no need to help.
But now it seems that this is indeed the case.
As for why the boss refused to tell his wife, maybe this is the love given silently.
Thinking of this, Li Shushu typed back: "Okay boss, I'll contact you right away."
"Remember, don't reveal any information about me."
"clear!"
…
Li Shusheng's work efficiency is very fast. After sending the message in the morning, the reply came around three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Boss, the young lady seems to have a disdain for our company..."
ps: There is another chapter that will be late, you can read it when you wake up tomorrow morning.
