Li Jihong originally wanted to follow him, but was afraid that Zhao Xirui would offend Zeng Min and be blocked by Zeng Min.
"It's settled, let's go home first."
Zhao Xirui threw her bag into the back row and sat on the seat.
Then adjust the seat to the most comfortable position and half lie on the seat.
"How did you talk about it? Did you renew your contract with Jiaxing?"
Li Jihong asked the driver curiously as he asked the driver to drive home.
"How is it possible? I will never renew my contract with Jiaxing in this life."
Zhao Xirui said with a smile: "My new company has reached a settlement with Jiaxing and will pay a liquidated damages to poach me in advance."
"Who is the new company?"
As Li Jihong asked, the names of major well-known companies flashed through his mind.
"Cao Cao Entertainment."
"ah?"
Li Jihong was stunned for a moment, then asked anxiously: "Are you crazy? You actually signed a contract with that internet celebrity company?"
"No way?"
Zhao Xirui smiled and asked, "I went to attend Wang Sicheng's birthday party before, didn't you object?"
"That's different. Wang Sicheng has a background in Yida. At least Yida is very important in the theater chain. If they open their mouths, you might be able to get a second girl, a third girl, or something like that."
Li Jihong smiled bitterly and said: "Although Cao Cao Entertainment has been very popular recently, it only targets Internet celebrities on Douyin."
"You are a star, a serious one, you are not comparable to that bunch of Internet celebrities who are like a meteor shower."
"The same goes for celebrities. Without good works, their popularity will fade away sooner or later."
Zhao Xirui stopped teasing Li Jihong and said with a smile: "Okay, although I have just signed a contract, I am treated very well. I am a heroine in an urban drama. Is that good enough?"
"real?"
Li Jihong was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Cao Cao Entertainment would give Zhao Xirui such a good resource.
"Who is the male protagonist? Is he a popular young boy?"
"Li Xian, not very popular."
"Can that be done?"
Li Jihong was a little worried, "If urban dramas are not top-notch these days, they are destined to not be very popular. Your drama is probably a low-cost production, so don't have too much hope!"
"It's always fun to be content with what you have. Besides, it's a pleasant surprise for me to have resources right after changing jobs."
While Zhao Xirui was talking, she opened WeChat repeatedly from time to time.
But the chat interface is still blank.
Li Jihong has been working with Zhao Xirui for five years, and he has already treated Zhao Xirui like his own girl. He couldn't help but ask: "Is he a senior executive of Cao Cao Entertainment?"
"That's right."
"Then does he have money?"
"Super rich."
"Xirui, listen to Sister Hong's advice. Rich families are not so easy to get into. There are so many examples of female stars marrying rich men. How many of them are really happy in the end?"
Zhao Xirui shook his head helplessly: "Sister Hong, where are you thinking? We are far from that step yet."
"That's even worse. If you're just having fun, what should you do if Cao Cao Entertainment recruits new people in the future?"
Li Jihong kept mumbling, and Zhao Xirui had no choice but to put on the headphones.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated, and Zhao Xirui quickly opened the chat interface.
Chen Dongcheng: This is the original work of that book. Read it first.
Zhao Xirui: Okay, Mr. Zeng said that he would need to pay a liquidated damages of five million.
Chen Dongcheng: I have agreed. This drama is likely to be a hit. You have to seize the opportunity.
Zhao Xirui: Don’t worry, I will study it carefully.
Chen Dongcheng: I will notify you separately of the start-up time.
Zhao Xirui: When will you be free?
This time the other party stopped replying. At first I thought something was wrong with Chen Dongcheng.
As a result, she got home and there was still no reply.
Zhao Xirui still didn't know that the other party was not interested in replying to him.
"asshole!"
Zhao Xirui gritted his teeth in anger. Li Jihong came over to take a look and asked doubtfully: "Honey stewed squid?"
"Well, it's my new play."
Zhao Xirui glanced through it a few times and said to Li Jihong: "I've been staying at home these days, so I'll chew this one a few times before talking about it."
"Well, no matter whether this drama is a hit or not, at least Cao Cao Entertainment values you very much."
Li Jihong waited for Zhao Xirui to enter the room, then took the elevator to leave, but her face was a little worried: "Xirui really can't make the wrong choice this time."
…
In addition to watching at home these days, Zhao Xirui is also waiting for news about Chen Dongcheng.
"Change your Weibo account password and send it to Mr. Ding."
Chen Dongcheng sent a message to Zhao Xirui: "I have reached an agreement with Jiaxing. You will officially terminate the contract starting today. Come over and sign the contract tonight."
Zhao Xirui rolled her eyes, walked to the living room, stood on the carpet in front of the full-length mirror, and took a few pictures of her beautiful legs.
"Do you want to come to my house to sign the contract?"
"address."
“Junhui Yaju here in Gongti.”
Although the traffic in Beijing was quite congested, Chen Dongcheng rushed to Junhui Yaju as quickly as possible.
The security of the community is quite strict. Zhao Xirui wore pajamas inside and a coat outside and walked to the door of the community to pick up Chen Dongcheng.
Chen Dongcheng recognized Zhao Xirui at a glance. She was the only one in the entire community who wore sunglasses at night.
“The community environment is good.”
"For safety's sake, if you stay here too many times, you will be laughed at."
Although Zhao Xirui is not very popular, as long as there is a fan base, there are businesses willing to support her.
Dress up beautifully and attend a ribbon-cutting event in any shopping mall, and you will start with at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Although the community is not too big, it only has one building, and it is considered a very good high-end community in Beijing.
"drop."
Zhao Xirui entered the password and said: "The password is 957869. If you come to the capital and have no place to stay, you can come to my place. But sometimes I may not be here, so you can just open the door and go in."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and shook his head: "If you weren't here, why would I come here?"
"What to drink?"
Zhao Xirui walked to the refrigerator and opened the refrigerator door. There were a lot of various drinks inside.
"Anything is fine."
"I have the duck I just bought. Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I was just at the company and came over right after get off work."
Zhao Xirui smiled and said: "That proves that I am quite charming."
Soon, the table was covered with duck products, spicy strips and other snacks.
Chen Dongcheng pointed to the things on the table: "You rarely eat these, right?"
"I definitely don't dare to eat it. It will make me fat. In order to stay in shape, I don't dare to touch these things even once a year."
Zhao Xirui put on disposable gloves, picked up a duck neck and put it into his mouth, saying happily: "Now that the contract with the company has been terminated, naturally I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and asked: "Is it really okay for you to be so arrogant in front of the new boss?"
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, please have a lot of it, so let's forget it this time."
Zhao Xirui raised his glass with a smile and clinked his glass with Chen Dongcheng.
Zhao Xirui then told Chen Dongcheng the process of her confrontation with Dais during the day.
Chen Dongcheng shook his head and sighed: "You women really have a lot of disputes, and you are still fighting for the few resources your company has."
"No one dares to touch Sister Ni's status. Now that Gao Wen is popular again, I am a soft persimmon, so naturally everyone wants to pinch me."
Zhao Xirui sighed, then smiled and said: "Fortunately, with you, I have completely vented my bad temper. No matter what happens in the future, I will not regret it."
"Do you really regret it?" Chen Dongcheng asked with a smile.
"No regrets."
Zhao Xirui answered decisively: "Even Sister Ni knows that Jiaxing's self-produced drama has restricted us all."
"In the early days, it was indeed possible to rely on sister Ni to become popular, but if you want to become famous, you can only have a chance to work in outside dramas."
"Didn't Gao Wen become famous in one fell swoop because of the drama "Carat Lovers"?"
Chen Dongcheng kept nodding. During the two days in the Maldives, he felt that Zhao Xirui was very smart.
"What did you think of the part about squid stewed in honey sauce?"
"It's pretty good, but a bit silly and sweet?"
Zhao Xirui hesitated and asked aloud.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded: "Well, this is the style, can you control it?"
"It's a bit difficult, but I'll try my best. I've never followed this style before, and I suddenly found that this drama is quite suitable for Gao Wen."
Zhao Xirui suddenly laughed, and then shook his head: "Forget it, we will be well in the future. We were very good at the beginning and lived together in the dormitory arranged by the company."
"Although the room is noisy and we have to jump up and down when we go back to the dormitory, we encourage each other every day and wish each other will become popular sooner or later."
"But since Gao Wen finished filming "Carat Lovers" and became popular, our relationship has changed.
"
"Gao Wenshang got a lot of acting jobs and moved directly to a high-end apartment."
"And I was always lukewarm, and it was only later that I gradually gained some popularity."
Chen Dongcheng has read some information. In 2015, Gao Wen and Zhao Xirui did have a lot of interaction.
Both of them were relatively new to the entertainment industry at that time.
But Gao Wen's opportunity came earlier.
"Carat Lovers" made Gao Wen successful.
Later, the Running Man pushed Gao Wen to the position of popular actress.
In contrast, Zhao Xirui is still the little transparent person who is not paid much attention by the company.
Due to the difference in status, the original pure friendship naturally began to change.
"No more, I've said a bit too much."
Zhao Xirui shook her head as if mocking herself: "No matter what, I still hope she is well."
"After all, we had such a good relationship before. If I leave Jiaxing, maybe we will have a chance to repair our relationship in the future."
"Believe me, Cao Cao Entertainment will give you everything you want, and even give you a chance to be on an equal footing with Gao Wen."
Chen Dongcheng rarely makes promises easily, but whatever he promises, he always comes true.
"I trust you."
Zhao Xirui took advantage of the drunkenness, looked directly at Chen Dongcheng, and spoke what was in her heart.
"Although there are many handsome guys in the entertainment industry, they are all too girly and have no sense of responsibility at all."
"If something happens, they will definitely be the first to distance themselves."
"Even if you eat and leave in the Maldives, I won't rely on you."
"No matter what, I want to thank you for providing me with a sheltered harbor."
Once a woman becomes affectionate, a man will really not be able to handle her.
Especially a female star with the title of "Leg Girl" who will talk to you affectionately from the bottom of her heart.
That scene...
Chen Dongcheng was about to say something, but Zhao Xirui blocked him with his mouth. He pointed to the sofa with blurred eyes: "Go there and say it."
