Chapter 42

Su Chen immediately stood up and sat beside Yang Mi.

He stared at the water ball in her arms with wolf-like, 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.

After a star becomes popular, cases of breaking away from their old company are as numerous as cow hairs.

Even many end up with such bad blood that they never speak to each other again.

For example, Zhou Jielun and Wu Zongxian had a very unpleasant falling out.

Cao Yunxin and Guo Dagang were even more like water and fire.

Yang Mi had never considered how to keep Su Chen after he exploded in popularity.

Because that had a prerequisite.

Su Chen had to explode in popularity first!

If he wasn't popular, what was there to consider?

But times change.

With Su Chen's heaven-defying looks and astonishing acting skills.

Plus this super high-resource drama "Blossoms" directed by the King of Sunglasses.

Once it airs heavily on CCTV.

Su Chen will immediately rocket to the top tier of super A-listers.

Becoming a walking money-printing machine.

His commercial potential is far higher than Xiao Zhan, Wang Wang Yabo, and Yi Yang Qianxi.

Not even comparable to top-tier female stars like Yang Mi or Sister Reba.

Because female fans are too crazy.

Their spending power is also terrifying.

Top-tier male stars make money much faster!

Yang Mi had finally gotten incredibly lucky.

About to build a money-printing machine.

And now this money-printing machine wants to run away!

How could she possibly be content?

"You dare! You're not allowed to jump ship!"

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

"When drinking water, one must not forget the one who dug the well."

Su Chen propped his chin, pondering: "That makes sense, but I haven't drunk your water, have I?"

Yang Mi felt dizzy.

She always felt Su Chen was aggressively stepping on the gas pedal.

Yet she had no evidence.

"If you want to keep me, it's simple! You have to offer some benefits, right?"

"What do men need most?"

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

"As for money... easy to talk about! I can increase your profit-sharing ratio."

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

"As for resources, no need to mention them. Once you become a top-tier super A-lister, the entire company will serve you."

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

Su Chen decisively shook his head.

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

"In ancient times, Emperors with three thousand beauties in the harem were considered few; some even had tens of thousands!"

Yang Mi, being so shrewd, laid it out on the spot.

"If you want me, just say it directly!"

Su Chen pretended to be innocent.

"I have no such thoughts."

"If the boss is willing to personally step up to retain me, then I will definitely be moved to tears."

"Just like Zhao Zilong, willing to serve loyally!"

Su Chen's goal was merely to tease Yang Mi.

It was indeed very fun.

Moreover, constantly flirting with her to create various emotional fluctuations.

The points would also skyrocket.

But Yang Mi took it seriously!

Because often.

People speak their true hearts in the form of jokes.

Yang Mi dared not be sure.

Would Su Chen Society really just pack up and leave after he blew up in popularity?

She made a rough estimate.

Once Su Chen became a top-tier A-lister.

Within five years, the personal income he'd bring her would be no less than 500 million.

Who would go up against 500 million?

Yang Mi couldn't afford to gamble on it!

She was an extremely rational woman.

Whatever she did, she had to weigh the pros and cons first.

If the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, it was worth doing.

If this had been back when she'd just signed Su Chen.

Him yelling that he wanted to sleep with her.

Otherwise threatening to leave the company.

Yang Mi would absolutely have marched over and slapped him hard across the face twice.

But now.

Su Chen was about to sign a contract with the "Blossoms" production crew.

His wings had hardened.

He was only one step away from becoming a top-tier star!

Was she to refuse Su Chen.

Let him jump ship next year when his contract expired, right at the peak of his fame?

Or offer up her body a little.

Keep him around, and rake in hundreds of millions!

And solve her own empty, lonely, cold problem along the way?

Forget Yang Mi, that shrewd woman.

Even an idiot would know how to do the math on this one!

After weighing it.

Yang Mi slowly closed her eyes and took several deep breaths in a row.

"If I do this, you'll stay, right?"

Su Chen nodded: "Yes."

Yang Mi was decisive and crisp: "Then... then I'm yours."

Su Chen suddenly thought of their bet.
