Chapter 609

And Ji Qinglian, who was being discussed by March Sky, had already quietly arrived at Dawn Entertainment.

She had previously agreed with Seeing Jin Li to stay at Dawn Entertainment temporarily.

It wasn't convenient for Seeing Jin Li to go out, so Sui Lingfang picked up Ji Qinglian.

The two sides had dealt with each other a few times, occasionally communicated on WeChat, and would hear about each other from time to time from Seeing Jin Li.

So this time they met, they both felt a sense of strangeness yet familiarity and intimacy.

"Qinglian, come with me. We'll go straight to the top floor. Seeing Jin Li is waiting for you on the top floor. She lives there, and this elevator goes straight there without opening in between."

Sui Lingfang picked up Ji Qinglian in the underground garage and took her to a hidden elevator that required a key card to enter.

The elevator looked very ordinary on the outside, and the interior space was narrow, only enough for three people to pass through.

Looking from the outside, it wouldn't make people think it was an elevator; one would think it was some cleaning room or utility room.

In the elevator, Sui Lingfang naturally talked to Ji Qinglian about Seeing Jin Li.

"Seeing Jin Li has been asking me all day if you've messaged me. She's asked three or four times. She's very happy that you're coming to keep her company."

Ji Qinglian smiled: "How is this keeping her company? It just so happens that I want to come out and play, rest, and catch my breath."

Sui Lingfang didn't know what she thought of, and was a bit hesitant to speak.

Ji Qinglian noticed and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask me directly, no need to guess."

Sui Lingfang said helplessly: "You noticed? Is my expression that obvious?"

Ji Qinglian laughed: "You look like you're bursting to say something."

Sui Lingfang also laughed: "Actually, it's nothing. I just remembered Tianding Entertainment. Recently, I received some news about Tianding from peers and learned that the situation inside the company seems to be not very good."

Ji Qinglian thought for a moment and said: "The situation inside the company should be consistent with the news you received, and even more serious than the rumors."

She paused, unable to tell what she was thinking, and said: "I came to Dawn Entertainment this time, and there's also the reason of Tianding. The company is too chaotic, and I want to change the environment and escape some conflicts."

Sui Lingfang was speechless for a moment.

She didn't expect Ji Qinglian to tell her these secret things.

Although she only revealed a little bit of her thoughts, as long as Ji Qinglian's thoughts were spread out, it would probably make Tianding even more chaotic, and other companies would increase their efforts to poach people.

Thinking of this, Sui Lingfang's eyelids twitched, and she didn't dare to ask any further.

She was afraid of getting more explosive material from Ji Qinglian and having thoughts she shouldn't have.

If it were last year, before Ji Qinglian had decided which company to go to, she would have been very active, but now Ji Qinglian has already signed with Tianding, and the contract has only been in effect for one year.

The huge breach of contract fee generated when a Tianding artist jumps ship is not something Dawn Entertainment can touch right now.

To put it bluntly, Dawn isn't qualified enough.

Since she isn't qualified to stand at the negotiating table, it's better to know nothing, at least she won't lose her sense of propriety because she's itching to act.

"Ding-dong!"

The elevator went straight to the top floor, and the door opened.

Seeing Jin Li stood outside the door with a smile, opened her arms, and hugged Ji Qinglian.

"Welcome to where I live!"

The next second, Seeing Jin Li's body was actually lifted up by Ji Qinglian in a reverse hug, as if she were weighing how heavy she was.

Seeing Jin Li's body was off the ground for several seconds before being put down by Ji Qinglian. She looked up and saw her say with satisfaction: "Not bad, you've gained a bit of weight. It seems you've been eating lately."

Seeing Jin Li was embarrassed.

There is a type of parent called "no matter how you eat or how fat you are, they think you are thin."

It's a coincidence that Ji Qinglian is such a parent.

Seeing Jin Li said softly: "At my current weight, I'm actually a bit fat on camera."

Ji Qinglian said disapprovingly: "That's because they have no eye for beauty."

Seeing Jin Li said softly again: "My manager wants me to be thinner."

The two talked as if no one else was around, forgetting Sui Lingfang.

Ji Qinglian: "I'll talk to her when I have time; health is more important."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes lit up, and she said in a very, very small voice: "You haven't eaten potato chips lately, right? How about a bag of potato chips?"

Ji Qinglian was just about to nod in agreement when suddenly, Sui Lingfang's voice sounded gloomily from the side:

"All snacks are confiscated. Neither of you is allowed to eat potato chips!"

Seeing Jin Li blinked hard at Ji Qinglian.

Ji Qinglian said "Uh," and said helplessly: "Seeing Jin Li, eating potato chips is bad. Let's change to some other heal-thy-food."

Seeing Jin Li's expression turned gloomy in a second.

If Ji Qinglian hadn't specifically emphasized those four words, she would have felt she had a chance to indulge herself.

It was her forgetfulness; Mother Ji's strictness toward her was even worse than her manager's.

Sui Lingfang didn't stay long. After sending them up, she took another elevator to the conference room. On the top floor, only Seeing Jin Li and Ji Qinglian were left to chat and talk.

The sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time. Seeing Jin Li let the two assistants go out and come back up at dinner time.

With irrelevant people gone, Seeing Jin Li asked straight to the point: "I was too busy before, and it wasn't easy to ask on WeChat. What made you think of coming to Dawn Entertainment? Did something happen at Tianding?"

Ji Qinglian paused and said: "If I say it has nothing to do with Tianding Entertainment, would you believe me?"

Seeing Jin Li had an expression of "I knew you were lying to me."

Ji Qinglian smiled awkwardly and shrugged: "Alright, it does have to do with Tianding Entertainment. Recently, many people inside the company are fighting for power, so I took the initiative to come to Dawn Entertainment. This is both an escape and a warning."

Seeing Jin Li asked curiously: "What warning?"

Ji Qinglian said calmly: "For me, the choice is never just one. Even if I am at Tianding Entertainment now, there are plenty of companies willing to pay for my contract."

Seeing Jin Li gave her a thumbs up: "Domineering!"

The leader is always like this, calm and orderly, shielding their members from the wind and rain.

Seeing Jin Li thought of the complaints Yu Guan Mingzhu had made to her before and asked: "You wouldn't have been targeted by Ming Yingyue, would you? Pearl once mentioned to me that some artists in Tianding Entertainment don't act like artists, they only want to be capitalists and have forgotten their original intentions."

Ji Qinglian was a bit surprised: "You know Ming Yingyue too?

Yes, I'm just annoyed by her. She first contacted me through private channels, wanting me to join her faction. I just felt it was inexplicable."

She thought for a moment, organized her language, and continued: "I signed with Tianding based on my strength, not to form cliques. And whether I take sides or not doesn't affect my status in the company, so why should I join her?"

"Ming Yingyue was rejected by me, but she didn't give up. Recently, she has been harassing me through my manager, still wanting me to join her faction."

Ji Qinglian said deliberately: "To be honest, I don't know much about her faction, only that her faction seems to have different ideas from the current president, He Yan.

He Yan has done many things wrong, but apart from betting on June Summer and investing too many resources in this new team, wasting company resources, he hasn't interfered with the company's other businesses."

"Tianding Entertainment now has frequent conflicts between veteran artists and young artists. This wasn't stirred up by He Yan, but rather by Ming Yingyue's faction."

Seeing Jin Li had received some news from Sui Lingfang, so she understood what Qinglian was talking about, and realized:

"I thought He Yan tacitly allowed veteran artists to suppress young artists. Hearing you say this, it turns out he doesn't know about the undercurrents inside at all.

If that's the case, it's a bit understandable. After all, as the president of a company, how could he let the system that was finally established be broken again and again.

Betting on a new team has already broken the rules. If he still lets veteran artists snatch endorsements from young people, then Tianding will be unable to develop fresh blood and will stagnate."

Ji Qinglian said: "I also thought he tacitly allowed all this to happen, but yesterday I met him and proposed that I wanted to take a break and go somewhere else. He seemed to have noticed something and said some earnest words to me.

I realized that he knew nothing about the other situations inside the company, so I reminded him from the side, but whether he will appreciate my kindness, I don't know."

Ji Qinglian didn't think highly of He Yan's sensitivity.

If he were sensitive enough, he would have discovered the wrongness in the company long ago, but he didn't.

So she had a premonition that even if she specifically said those words to him, it might not get He Yan's attention.

Seeing Jin Li asked: "Then you came out this time?"

Ji Qinglian: "Mainly to deal with Ming Yingyue's pressure. She is too annoying, and I want to change the environment."

Seeing Jin Li: "Do you need my help?"

Ji Qinglian shook her head, a sly smile flashing in her eyes: "You letting Dawn Entertainment give me a place to stay is already helping me."

Seeing Jin Li was also happy and egged her on: "Right, let Tianding Entertainment get nervous. If they don't cherish you, there are plenty of companies that want to snatch you away."

That day, the news of Ji Qinglian entering Dawn Entertainment was exposed by the paparazzi.

#Ji Qinglian appears at Dawn Entertainment#

#Ji Qinglian and Seeing Jin Li reunite#

#Is Ji Qinglian going to jump ship#

#What exactly happened to Tianding Entertainment#

#Tianding can't keep artists#

#Ji Qinglian and Seeing Jin Li meet at Dawn Entertainment#

Although only one tag made it to the top ten of the hot search, there were many tags in the back that were related news.

Ji Qinglian didn't specifically ask the paparazzi to release the news, but as long as the paparazzi saw her appearing at Dawn Entertainment, they would have explosive associations.

It's not that the paparazzi didn't think simply, but for news on the internet, if you don't create a gimmicky headline, how can you attract people to watch?

And having Ji Qinglian jump ship and reunite with Seeing Jin Li is the biggest hot spot.

The rumors on the internet are coming on strong.

Not only did the media write it until they believed it themselves, but even the netizens who saw the report thought it was true, and the discussion was enthusiastic.

【Oh, I thought wrong. It turns out Dawn Entertainment is the biggest winner!】

【I used to think Tianding was big and strong, and had the best hope of summoning the dragon, but now it seems it has to be Dawn Entertainment!】

【Seeing Jin Li exploded, Dawn exploded, and the other members of Pink Girls also exploded!】

【Please, jump ship quickly. I've been very unhappy with Tianding lately. My goddess staying at Tianding is just being delayed!】

Some netizens fell into beautiful fantasies, blowing up a wave of nostalgia for Pink Girls again.

There were also netizens who analyzed it calmly and rationally, but these people were too few, and their voices were not loud enough.

【To be fair, Tianding treats Ji Qinglian quite well, especially her endorsements this year. Don't you think it's a bit exaggeratedly good? She can go to any major luxury brand activity she wants.】

【If Ji Qinglian really goes to Dawn, Dawn can't give such good resources and treatment. She is very clear-headed and rational. I think she's just tired lately, so she wants to get together with friends.】

Not to mention netizens, even the public opinion department of Tianding Entertainment didn't see the voices of this part of the people.

Once the news spread, the rumors of "jumping ship" became more and more intense.

Especially when Tianding Entertainment, Dawn Entertainment, and Seeing Jin Li and Ji Qinglian didn't respond, the netizens' guesses became more and more outrageous.

【A friend of mine who works at Dawn told me that Dawn has indeed been in contact with Ji Qinglian, and they were in contact most frequently when she hadn't jumped ship to Tianding last year.】

【They are already negotiating the contract. Ji Qinglian coming to Dawn in person is the greatest sincerity. In order to win over Ji Qinglian, Dawn can probably offer the same treatment as Seeing Jin Li.】

【Tianding Entertainment is already panicking, holding meetings overnight. After losing March Sky, are their personal top-tier pillars also going to run away?】

The news on the internet spread in a very plausible and sensational way.

Tianding really held a meeting, while Dawn was stunned by this wave of heaven-sent wealth.

Sui Lingfang specifically asked Seeing Jin Li, saying secretly: "Does Ji Qinglian really have the idea of jumping ship to Dawn?"

Seeing Jin Li said helplessly: "The rumors on the internet are not credible. They also said that our company and Qinglian are negotiating a contract, but don't you know whether it's true or false?"

Dawn Entertainment didn't negotiate a contract with Ji Qinglian at all!

Sui Lingfang said itching to act: "We didn't negotiate, but if Ji Qinglian really has the intention, it's not impossible to negotiate!"

Seeing Jin Li glanced at her and reminded: "Calm down, Tianding Entertainment's breach fee is over 100 million. Can the company afford such a huge amount of cash?"

Sui Lingfang said: "After the president learned the news yesterday, he specifically came to me at work today and mentioned it implicitly. If Ji Qinglian really has this idea, then Dawn Entertainment is willing to take out this money."

Oh!

Seeing Jin Li is the pillar of Dawn, and she knows a little about the company's financial situation.

Even though she has earned a lot of money for the company in the past few years, most of it went into her pocket, and the revenue the company can get is actually very small.

So the company definitely doesn't have 100 million in revenue so far.

If they don't have this money but can take it out, they can only borrow money from others.

Seeing Jin Li raised her eyebrows and said: "It's rare to see the company so generous and adventurous."

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "Looking at the president's expression, he can be even more generous."

Seeing Jin Li shook her head with a smile: "But it's a pity that Qinglian doesn't have this idea."

She thought for a moment and said: "Qinglian is still very different from our other members. We have been in the circle for so many years, and many people have regarded the identity of the entertainment circle as a job."

Maybe there was some passion at the beginning, but after running endorsements constantly, the passion has been worn away.

Only the leader, she entered the circle because of passion, and now she stays in the circle because of passion. She is different from us; she really likes this circle."

Seeing Jin Li said bluntly: "Although there was some chaos inside Tianding Entertainment, no matter what, the resources that can be provided to the leader are still much stronger than Dawn Entertainment."

"She is different from me. I am more laid-back, but she always has a sense of enterprise toward herself."
