Chapter 571

The person calling was none other than Dai Xueling, the chief designer and CEO of Fang Fei.

Seeing Jin Li and Dai Xueling had a good private friendship; she had once received a gown named "Fire" sent by Dai Xueling to walk the runway at a Fang Fei show, and the two had a deep connection despite their shallow acquaintance, quite cherishing each other.

Dai Xueling generally wouldn't look for Seeing Jin Li unless there was something going on.

Now that she was suddenly calling Seeing Jin Li, it made her somewhat surprised.

For a moment, she thought something had gone wrong with the summer ready-to-wear line she was endorsing.

After picking up the phone, Dai Xueling didn't chat with her but got straight to the point: "Do you have time to talk business now?"

Seeing Jin Li: "I have time, go ahead."

Dai Xueling: "Fang Fei would like to invite you to participate in a brand event in the near future; do you have time?"

Seeing Jin Li's eyes narrowed slightly: "I remember I signed a betting agreement with Fang Fei; everything has to wait until my college entrance exam scores come out before Fang Fei decides on my advertising remuneration for the summer ready-to-wear line.

If I haven't misunderstood, the contract I signed stipulates that announcements between me and Fang Fei must wait until the scores are out to be decided."

Dai Xueling was concise: "You understood correctly. It's just that there are different voices within Fang Fei; some people don't want to wait for your college entrance exam scores to be released and want you to participate in brand activities now. For this, Fang Fei can sign an additional contract with you."

Since Seeing Jin Li had already authorized the "Dawn" crew to use the "struggling for the college entrance exam" matter, allowing the director to use this to promote the movie, she could naturally authorize others as well.

It was just that the advertisers who had come knocking so far were all second- or third-tier brands; Sui Sui Lingfang didn't think much of these brands in the first place and wouldn't even pass them to Seeing Jin Li.

And those luxury brands, barring any accidents, were likely all in a wait-and-see mode.

They were all waiting for Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam scores to be released before taking their next move.

Hearing Dai Xueling say this, Seeing Jin Li's eyes flashed slightly.

It seemed Fang Fei couldn't sit still anymore; they couldn't wait for the college entrance exam scores to be released to monetize the traffic and instead wanted to bet early and ride her popularity now.

Seeing Jin Li, on one hand, didn't feel she had such great charm, and on the other, felt that Fang Fei suddenly coming to her door didn't quite fit Fang Fei's style, and she was still a bit confused.

Because she had been spending her time reading lately and hadn't been online, she didn't know that the "Dawn" crew had relied on hyping news about her to reach first place in the box office pre-sale list.

She also didn't know that "Knowledge Universe," which Maozhua Live launched relying on her, had reached first place in the daily download list as soon as it went online.

And since it went online until now, it had been the download list champion every single day!

Although Seeing Jin Li wasn't clear about how much influence she had, as an artist's instinct, she calmly asked about the conditions Fang Fei was offering.

Dai Xueling said straightforwardly: "If we can start promotion early, Fang Fei can lower the risk value regarding your college entrance exam scores, which means Fang Fei is willing to bear more risk for you."

Seeing Jin Li: "Lowering the college entrance exam scores... I remember the betting agreement Fang Fei signed with me before; the expectation for my college entrance exam scores was for me to reach the second-tier university line."

Seeing Jin Li still remembered Fang Fei's requirements for her; if her scores could reach the second-tier line, then all activities would proceed as usual.

But if she only reached the third-tier line or a lower vocational line, she would have to compensate Fang Fei a portion of money in return.

But if she could reach the first-tier line, Fang Fei would make concessions.

The concession range was written very clearly; after reaching a certain score, the more points she got, the greater the concession.

The reason she remembered so clearly was that the betting requirement for Ru Meng Ling was the same as Fang Fei's, both requiring her scores to reach the second-tier line.

Because the two betting agreements were handed to her to sign one after the other, with an interval of no more than two days.

And the requirements for her score lines were very similar, which made her suspect at the time whether Fang Fei's senior management had communicated with Ru Meng Ling's senior management, otherwise how could the requirements be almost the same.

Dai Xueling said: "Yes, but if you are willing to agree to start promotion now, Fang Fei can lower the requirements here; as long as your score line can reach the third-tier line, you don't need to compensate, and the activities will proceed as usual."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a moment and said: "This condition sounds very favorable to me, making my risk even lower."

Hearing this, Dai Xueling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

But from Seeing Jin Li's tone, she couldn't hear the slightest feeling of happiness.

Seeing Jin Li might not be satisfied with this condition.

Sure enough, in the next second, Seeing Jin Li said: "But it only lowered my risk without raising my earnings. Dai Zong, in business, we talk business. I am quite confident in my own scores, and I hope to obtain more earnings."

Dai Xueling's tone was calm, and one couldn't tell if it was regret or some other mood.

"The concessions Fang Fei made for you in the high-score range when signing the betting agreement with you have already left no room for more; we cannot concede any further."

A hint of a smile flashed in Seeing Jin Li's eyes: "Dai Zong, then why don't we wait for the college entrance exam scores to be released and see?"

Dai Xueling understood Seeing Jin Li's meaning; since they couldn't make any more concessions, she wouldn't start promotion early either.

A flash of curiosity suddenly crossed her mind, and she said on the surface: "Then let's cooperate after your scores are out. I originally planned to make a decision after the scores were out, but some directors in the company wanted to start promotion with you early.

I called this time just to ask for your opinion; you don't need to think too much. Regardless of whether we cooperate early or not, you are still the spokesperson chosen by Fang Fei."

Seeing Jin Li said "Mm," her tone light but very firm.

"I also like Fang Fei very much and hope to continue cooperating with Fang Fei."

Dai Xueling: "Good, business is discussed up to here. Next, I have a private question I want to ask you; you can answer, or you can choose not to."

Seeing Jin Li asked suspiciously: "Mm?"

Dai Xueling: "Are you confident about your college entrance exam scores? Have you already predicted how many points you got?"

Actually, ever since the college entrance exams ended, the original exam papers and correct answers had been circulating online.

Some students with good memories had already estimated their scores through the correct answers circulating online, knew their score range, and started to pick majors.

Dai Xueling thought Seeing Jin Li was the same.

But unexpectedly, Seeing Jin Li didn't know how her scores were.

She said: "I didn't go to estimate my scores, but by intuition, I feel I should have done quite well this time."

Dai Xueling raised her eyebrows; so confident?

Now she was truly curious about Seeing Jin Li's scores.

Seeing Jin Li refused to start cooperation early, and Dai Xueling had other things to be busy with, so she hung up the phone first.

After she finished her work for the day, the moon had already climbed to the treetops, and the buildings outside the window were all brightly lit.

Under the boundless night, these shining buildings seemed to form a winding galaxy of lights.

Dai Xueling walked to the window and saw that the road below was blocked beyond recognition, with the rear of all the cars flashing red light, turning into beautiful red ribbons, driving all the way forward.

The assistant knocked on the door and handed her a cup of warm white water.

Dai Xueling stared at the beautiful scenery outside the window and suddenly called out to the assistant who was about to leave.

"When the team analyzed her college entrance exam scores through the videos from Seeing Jin Li's live stream before, what score did the team estimate she would get?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while, flipped out her phone to check the chat history, and finally said firmly: "Second-tier line, they estimated that Seeing Jin Li could get a score at the second-tier line."

Dai Xueling knew that just in case the artist got a very poor score, the team was always conservative when estimating scores.

So Seeing Jin Li's lower limit score was at the second-tier line, and the probability of reaching the second-tier line should be over 70%.

The team's lower limit analysis for Seeing Jin Li was already the second-tier line, and Dai Xueling said with interest: "Did they give Seeing Jin Li's upper limit score?"

The assistant replied quickly: "Yes, they believe Seeing Jin Li's upper limit score is the first-tier line."

Dai Xueling said "Mm" and said faintly: "As expected."

Because the upper limit was the first-tier line, the concessions for the betting were all formulated based on the first-tier line.

She asked again: "Did no one estimate a specific score?"

The assistant shook her head: "They don't make specific score estimates."

Not knowing what she thought of, the assistant said again: "However, at that time, 50% of the people believed that as long as Seeing Jin Li performed stably, she could reach the first-tier line.

But when this estimation conclusion was discussed in retrospect, the senior management believed that if the passing line was set at the first-tier line, it would be too harsh for Seeing Jin Li, so for the sake of conservatism, it was still set at the second-tier line.

It was just that the stalemate score was highly likely to exceed the first-tier line, so in terms of concessions, a very strict range was delineated for the scores."

Dai Xueling said "Mm" again.

She had a good impression of Seeing Jin Li, and to avoid suspicion, she didn't participate in this contract discussion.

But after the specific contract came out, it would be shown to her, so she knew that Fang Fei's concessions on the score line were quite strict.

That contract actually already thought quite highly of Seeing Jin Li's scores; after all, there were heavens and earths on the first-tier score line.

First-tier institutions had both ordinary ones and elite ones.

If Seeing Jin Li really reached the score line of 985 or 211, then Fang Fei would show its greatest sincerity.

As for score lines higher than 985 or 211, Fang Fei didn't give any concession clauses because everyone thought Seeing Jin Li couldn't reach them.

But Dai Xueling thought of today's conversation with Seeing Jin Li and had a vague premonition that perhaps she would give everyone a surprise.

Dai Xueling murmured in a low voice: "If she really gets a very high score, then it's not her basking in Fang Fei's glory, but Fang Fei basking in hers."

Seeing Jin Li came to Chenxi Entertainment on the 15th.

Although her announcements were suspended, Sister Fang had already started arranging her schedule after the college entrance exam scores were released.

With Seeing Jin Li's current traffic and heat, many announcement parties didn't care about her college entrance exam scores; whether she did well or poorly, there were corresponding explosive points.

These announcement parties all gave extremely generous conditions, and after Sui Sui Lingfang communicated with her by phone, they unanimously agreed that it would be a pity not to take them, so they all took them and arranged them one by one later.

Seeing Jin Li's visit this time was specifically to sign contracts.

Arriving downstairs at Chenxi Entertainment, Chenxi Entertainment had changed a lot again at this time.

The rented floors had all been replaced with huge advertising banners, hanging photos of Seeing Jin Li, Qi Guan Mingzhu, and Xi Sister Meng Ze on them.

Besides that, the fans lingering on the first floor had become even more numerous.

Chenxi Entertainment opened up the first-floor exhibition hall, and fans could make appointments to visit in advance.

Seeing Jin Li and other artists entered from the back door, completely isolating the front door and not coming into contact with fans.

Three security guards were set up at the back door, each with eyes like torches.

Seeing Jin Li showed her ID and was immediately let through.

Around her, there were still some fans lingering.

"I don't know which artist this person in black is; could it be Seeing Jin Li? The figure looks a bit like her."

"It's definitely not Seeing Jin Li; if the scores aren't out, she won't participate in any activities."

"Did you notice that Chenxi Entertainment has signed many handsome trainees recently, both male and female? Are they going to develop in the direction of groups?"

"I actually heard some gossip that Chenxi has signed some actors recently, seemingly to strike in the direction of film and television."

Seeing Jin Li trotted into the elevator, and only after the elevator went up did she dare to take off her mask.

That was close; she was almost recognized.

"Ding-dong~"

The elevator opened, and Seeing Jin Li walked out, discovering that the manager's office had changed again, with a more reasonable layout and also much more spacious.

"Seeing Jin Li is here!"

"Good afternoon, Seeing Jin Li!"

"Seeing Jin Li, do you want to eat some fruit?"

Walking all the way to Sui Sui Lingfang's office, Seeing Jin Li shook her head and refused with a smile.

To use that saying, when you are famous, you are surrounded by good people.

Seeing Jin Li was very indifferent to this.

She had experienced both glory and the trough, and she had seen through many things instead.

Knocking on the door, she got Sister Fang's response and pushed the door in.

"Sister Seeing Jin Li!"

A cheerful and lively voice came, and Seeing Jin Li looked up, feeling very surprised.

"Hongdou, you—"

Her words paused, and she said firmly: "You have become my junior sister!"

Present were not only Wang Hongdou, but also Ma Mingqi and the manager Luo Fan.

This group of people all met in "My Mediocre Life"; after several months of filming and getting along, although they couldn't become friends, they weren't strangers either.

Wang Hongdou said with a grin: "I submitted my resume before and felt I wouldn't be selected, but I didn't expect to be really selected by Chenxi Entertainment; I signed the contract just a few days ago."

She asked proactively: "Sister Seeing Jin Li, are you free tonight? Can I invite you to dinner? I am very grateful to you; if it weren't for your encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to submit my resume to Chenxi."

This child was still so straightforward when speaking.

Seeing Jin Li liked dealing with such straightforward personalities.

She said: "Gratitude is unnecessary; I didn't do anything, just shared some news. I'm not sure if I have arrangements tonight, but if not, I'll treat you to dinner."

Wang Hongdou wanted to say something else, but Seeing Jin Li said: "Don't refuse. Since you joined Chenxi, we are fellow disciples; I, as the senior sister, wouldn't let my junior sister treat me."

Ma Mingqi on the side gathered his courage and said: "Sister Seeing Jin Li, I also want to invite you to dinner."

Seeing Jin Li glanced at him and said faintly: "No need, you can come over with Hongdou then."

Luo Fan walked up to Seeing Jin Li and said somewhat nervously: "Seeing Jin Li, thank you, I..."

Seeing Jin Li patted him on the shoulder; compared to Wang Hongdou and Ma Mingqi, she actually thought more highly of Luo Fan.

As a manager, Luo Fan could bring up one outstanding artist after another, which was a very impressive ability.

She was also very curious, now that the fortune he and Ma Mingqi were entangled in had changed, and the needs were misplaced.

Whether an artist more impressive than Ma Mingqi could be born in his hands.

Sui Sui Lingfang waited for them to finish their pleasantries before saying: "What I have to say is almost finished. Next, if you have anything you don't understand, ask my assistant.

Also Luo Fan, your seat has been arranged, right on the outermost circle outside; go take a look, and tell the administration if you are missing anything."

After they all left, Seeing Jin Li sighed and said: "I don't know if it's because I haven't been to the company for too long, but today when I came to the company, I found the atmosphere was different again, radiating a new atmosphere."

Sui Sui Lingfang rolled her eyes at her, "You don't even count how long you haven't been here. If you don't come again, the president will ask me if you have no love for the company."
