Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 640 - 228: Zhao Jinmai Comes Knocking (Part 2)

Chapter 640: Chapter 228: Zhao Jinmai Comes Knocking (Part 2)

After hanging up, the director felt relieved, thankful that he resisted the urge to lose his temper, or else he didn’t know if he would still have a job.

Just then, the assistant director pushed the door open and complained, "Old Xie, this is ridiculous, actors should be focusing on acting, not showing up late and leaving early every day."

"Today, both the female lead and the second female lead have walked off, Old Xie, we need to address this bad trend..."

"They had something to do and asked for a leave." The director cut off the assistant director’s words with one sentence.

"Huh? How come I didn’t know?" The assistant director’s mouth was wide enough to fit a fist.

"Oh, I approved it, forgot to notify you all."

Within the crew, the director’s authority was quite significant, far surpassing the assistant director’s.

So when the director spoke, what else could the assistant director do?

He could only keep his mouth shut obediently, complaining further? Be careful or you might lose your job.

....

On the way to Shanghai City.

"What did the director say?" Wang Churan asked Zhao Jinmai.

She had taken full responsibility for asking for leave.

Zhao Jinmai put down her phone and said with a smile, "The director initially wanted to scold me."

Saying this, she deliberately glanced at the pretend-sleeping Sun Dasheng beside her and said loudly to Wang Churan, "Our President Sun’s name really does wonders, as soon as they heard, their tone changed immediately, they even cared if the number of days we asked for leave was enough, hehe..."

"Hahaha..." Wang Churan laughed heartily.

Zhao Jinmai’s vivid portrayal made the Mediterranean director’s obsequious image appear in her mind, which was quite amusing.

....

There are a particularly large number of shopping districts in Shanghai City.

The three of them found a relatively secluded shopping district for a stroll.

Shopping is naturally a woman’s nature, once these two unleashed it, there seemed to be no stopping.

In the end, after shopping, they found out that there were so many things in large and small bags that they simply couldn’t fit into the private car.

Fortunately, high-end malls have services for same-city delivery.

After paying the bill and filling in the address, Sun Dasheng instructed the mall manager to deliver the items according to the address, then took the two women to a nearby hotel.

This matter was, of course, tacitly understood.

After all, during the entire afternoon of shopping, each of the two unknowingly spent several million, and this money obviously came out of the pocket of some big fool.

Because of the large amount of money, even Zhao Jinmai, who can earn enough to support herself, had never been so extravagant; such expenses were impossible for any family with billions in assets, let alone the newly entered fame-star, Wang Churan.

Even selling her wouldn’t fetch that much.

Wang Churan naturally accepted this benefaction with peace of mind, as she had already packaged herself for someone.

As for Zhao Jinmai, of course, money can’t resolve it. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Of course, maybe it’s possible, but it surely couldn’t be settled with just this few million, because she can earn that much herself.

Her main pursuit was resources.

Wang Churan was already fully aware at this time, but due to the previous provocations by Sun Dasheng, she didn’t interfere.

She thought, "I’ve sold myself, can’t you do the same?"

She harbored a somewhat perverse notion: since everyone is doing it, then we are all the same; let’s not point fingers when we’re all alike.

Do you think this mindset is warped?

Of course, it’s not warped at all.

Presidential Suite.

Sun Dasheng, having showered, sat on the sofa in a bathrobe, crossed his legs, and sipped red wine while asking the two women, "Who wants to go first?"

Zhao Jinmai blushing for once, nudged Wang Churan next to her, "Churan, you go first."

Wang Churan, not willing to lag behind, picked up her newly bought sexy lingerie and headed to the bathroom, "I’ll go first then, just in time to test Brother Sun’s taste, to see if this outfit really looks good."

She threw a flirtatious glance at Sun Dasheng as she finished speaking.

Sun Dasheng caught it and raised his glass in acknowledgment.

Zhao Jinmai cursed inwardly: "Seductive vixen."

But she quickly scooted over to sit next to Sun Dasheng. This was her chance to score some points. She picked up a glass of red wine and clinked glasses with him, saying, "Cheers": "President Sun, I heard from Churan that you paid the penalty for her last company? Can I also have that honor?"

As soon as Zhao Jinmai spoke, Sun Dasheng knew what she was getting at. Yet, he didn’t mind her little scheme. Looking at the familiar face he’d seen since young, he said, "Of course, you and Churan are both excellent actresses. Why not? I’d be more than happy to have you join our company. As for the penalty, it’s no big deal; our company can cover it."

He spoke with great confidence.

Zhao Jinmai liked it very much and shifted even closer to him, almost sitting on his lap.

"Thank you, President Sun, let’s have a drink."

She seemed a bit tipsy, her cheeks flushed red, and she began to look dazed. Her hand rubbed indiscreetly on a certain someone’s thigh.

"Brother Sun, do you work out regularly?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Hehe... The muscles on your thigh are so firm. You can’t achieve that without regular exercise."

After the compliment, she abruptly changed the topic: "I’m curious about what level of contract I could sign with your company?"

Sun Dasheng looked at her with a half-smile.

Is she really drunk?

I think she’s pretending.

But he didn’t expose her. She probably used the excuse of being drunk to speak her mind. If the terms are agreed upon, it’s a win-win. If not, she could use her drunkenness to cover it up.

She managed to negotiate without damaging relationships; even though she’s young, this little girl is quite the old fox.

Her actions could be summed up in one word: steady.

Much more composed than her peer, Wang Churan.

In fact, she’s three years younger than Wang Churan. Zhao Jinmai was born in 2002, Wang Churan in 1999.

Surprising, isn’t it?

"Of course, the highest tier. You’re a hot commodity in the industry now; based on your performance in that small indie film alone, I can offer you a top-tier contract."

Speaking of the indie film, Sun Dasheng looked at her puzzled: "Didn’t Guo Fan really appreciate you? Why weren’t you invited for the third part?"

Zhao Jinmai winked at him: "Didn’t you say it yourself? Director Guo appreciates me. Of course, I’m in it. They’re just in closed training right now. Since I have experience from the first two films, I got an exemption from the training. I only need to do adaptive training two weeks before the end of their six-month actors’ training camp."

"I see." Sun Dasheng nodded thoughtfully.

Looks like Guo Fan thinks highly of this young girl.

In the actors’ training camp, many who starred in the first two parts are still training alongside new members.

Nazha and the Fairy Sister Liu Yifei, who haven’t been in entertainment news for a while, were both there training hard.

Sun Dasheng visited them not long ago to offer ’support.’

Of course, to Nazha. The Fairy Sister remains unattainable for now.

But he’s in no rush.

After all, a gem like the Fairy Sister is worth the patience.

Several times he went but didn’t see that child actor who played Han Duoduo. He once thought the director might have cut the role.

After all, many people complained about that character.

But now it seems he overthought it. The character might be annoying, and that speech awkward, but it’s still essential.

Still belongs to this young lady here.

"You’re doing so well now; hardly anyone from the younger generation compares. Will your company let you go?"

"Plus, I hear your agent is the legendary Wang Jinhua, once known as the top agent in the industry. Are you willing to leave that company?"

Sun Dasheng’s consecutive questions left Zhao Jinmai a bit stunned.

Didn’t expect the big boss to know so much and understand her situation so well.

So she stopped holding back and replied directly, "The big boss of our company is her son, Dong Zijian. He’s the star they’re spending loads to create. While I have decent resources, the company’s resources are limited. Most go to her son. We actors have to snatch what’s left. So, naturally, when I encounter a better platform, I want a stage change."

Her words were sincere, and Sun Dasheng showed understanding.

"No problem. As long as you’re determined, the company will send someone to negotiate your contract issues. You don’t have to worry about that. And let me reassure you in advance: the best contract split in our company is 9:1. The company only takes 10%, and 90% of your income is yours. Plus, the company will arrange for you to star in two blockbuster films and three blockbuster TV series each year. That will be in your contract."

"Can you accept that?" Sun Dasheng asked.
