Chapter 15: Sister Mi, I want

Back in the room,

Su Chen lay arrogantly on the sofa,

propping up his long legs,

looking every bit like a big shot!

Yang Mi pouted and hummed coquettishly: "Hey, the audition is over!"

"Do you still think you’re that Bao Zong who calls the shots in the business world?"

"Time to wake up."

Su Chen grinned.

"Life is like a play. Truth and falsehood, no need to distinguish so clearly."

Yang Mi couldn't stand Su Chen being cocky,

but her own trusted artist had landed such a top-tier resource as the male lead.

Yang Mi couldn't help but praise him!

"You’re really amazing, how did you practice your acting?"

"Too awesome! No wonder you kept shouting about not taking the traffic route."

"This acting is truly god-tier! Even Wong Kar-wai was convinced by you, I admire you!"

Su Chen’s tail was up in the sky.

"Acting has nothing to do with age, it depends on talent."

"Like you old veterans, who started acting as child stars and have been acting for over 20 years, you’re still nothing."

"People like Zhang Zhang Zifeng, who won a bunch of awards at a young age—that’s called talent!"

"My acting talent is several dimensions higher than Zhang Zhang Zifeng’s, you can’t learn it."

"Also, I have many more amazing things, you haven't witnessed them..."

Yang Mi asked back with interest: "Oh? For example?"

Su Chen took a deep breath.

"For example... up, down, left, right—that’s also my talent!"

"Even more amazing than my acting."

Yang Mi was confused.

"Up, down, left, right? What is that?"

Su Chen sighed, covering his face.

"Casting pearls before swine! Search it, it’s related to Tony Leung’s movie."

Yang Mi checked immediately.

After checking, a blush appeared on her face.

"Racing with me again, aren't you?"

"You landed the male lead in *Blossoms Shanghai*, you’re indeed very, very strong."

"But you need to understand your position—I am your boss!" ===== CHAPTER 42 =====

Su Chen immediately got up and sat next to Yang Mi,

staring at the water balloons in her chest with tiger-like eyes.

"What if I fire you? Then you won't be my boss anymore."

"You..."

Seeing Su Chen’s serious and earnest expression, Yang Mi truly panicked.

In the entertainment industry,

situations where a star leaves their old agency after becoming famous are as common as hair.

Some even end up not seeing each other for the rest of their lives.

For example, Jay Chou and Jacky Wu had a very unpleasant falling out.

Cao Yunxin and Guo Degang are even more like fire and water.

Yang Mi had never considered how to keep Su Chen after he became a superstar,

because there was a prerequisite:

Su Chen had to become a superstar first!

If he wasn't famous, what was she worrying about?

But times have changed.

With Su Chen’s heaven-defying looks and astonishing acting skills,

plus this super-resource drama *Blossoms Shanghai* directed by Wong Kar-wai,

once it airs on CCTV,

Su Chen will immediately shoot to the top-tier of superstars,

becoming a walking money-printing machine.

His commercial potential is much higher than Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, or Yi Yi Yangqianxi.

And it’s not something top-tier actresses like Yang Mi or Sister Reba can compare to,

because female fans are too crazy,

and their spending power is terrifying.

Top-tier male stars make money much faster!

Yang Mi had finally hit the jackpot,

about to create a money-printing machine,

and now this machine wants to run!

How could she be willing?

"You dare! You are not allowed to jump ship!"

"If I hadn't given you the chance to audition for *Blossoms Shanghai*, how could you have landed the male lead?"

"Don't forget the well-digger when you drink the water."

Su Chen rested his chin on his hand and pondered: "That makes sense, but I haven't drunk your water yet, have I?"

Yang Mi felt dizzy.

She always felt Su Chen was stepping hard on the gas pedal,

but she had no evidence.

"If you want to keep me, it’s simple! Give me some benefits, right?"

"What do men need most?"

Yang Mi answered without hesitation: "Money, women, resources."

"As for money... easy! I can increase your share percentage."

"The company takes a little less, I personally take a little less, and you take the lion’s share."

"Don't even mention resources. Once you become a top-tier superstar, the whole company will serve you."

"As for women... Sister Reba is already yours, isn't that enough?"

Su Chen shook his head decisively.

"Who would complain about having too many women? Which big boss doesn't keep a bunch of little mistresses?"

"In ancient times, emperors had three thousand beauties in their harem, and some even had tens of thousands!"

Yang Mi was so shrewd, she pointed it out on the spot.

"If you want me, just say it!"

Su Chen played innocent.

"I don't have that thought."

"If the boss is willing to step in personally to keep me, then I would definitely be moved to tears."

"Like Zhao Zilong, willing to serve!"

Su Chen’s purpose was just to tease Yang Mi,

which was indeed very fun.

Moreover, constantly flirting with her to cause various emotional fluctuations

allowed him to farm points like crazy.

But Yang Mi took it seriously!

Because many times,

people say their true thoughts in the form of a joke.

Yang Mi couldn't be sure

if Su Chen would really pack up and leave after becoming a superstar.

She made a preliminary estimate:

Once Su Chen becomes a top-tier superstar,

within five years, the income he brings to her personally will not be less than 500 million.

Who would go against 500 million?

Yang Mi couldn't afford to gamble!

She is an extremely rational woman.

She analyzes the pros and cons before doing anything.

If the pros outweigh the cons, she can do it.

If it were back when she first signed Su Chen,

and he was shouting about sleeping with her,

otherwise threatening to leave the company,

Yang Mi would definitely have given him two slaps on the face.

But right now,

Su Chen is about to sign a contract with the *Blossoms Shanghai* crew.

His wings are hardened.

He is only one step away from being a top-tier star!

Should she reject Su Chen

and let him jump ship when his contract expires next year while he’s at his peak?

Or should she sell her body a little

to keep him and earn hundreds of millions?

And by the way, solve her own problem of being empty, lonely, and cold?

Let alone a shrewd woman like Yang Mi,

even a fool would know how to calculate this account!

After weighing the options,

Yang Mi slowly closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"If I do this, you will stay, right?"

Su Chen nodded: "Yes."

Yang Mi was decisive and straightforward: "Then... then I am yours."

Su Chen suddenly thought of their bet. ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
