Ever since confirming the program's contract process with Si Fuqing, the assistant director had quietly applied for funding from Daxia TV's internal resources, eagerly waiting to fly directly to Lincheng.
Finally, the day he had been waiting for arrived.
He had already planned to eat and drink to his heart's content in Lincheng after signing the contract.
The manager paused in his steps, turned his head, and met the assistant director's excited gaze.
He found the face somewhat familiar and couldn’t help but stop.
The assistant director also noticed him and instantly became wary. “Miss Si, who is this?”
“An irrelevant person,” Si Fuqing pulled out a chair. “Please, have a seat.”
“Oh, oh.” The assistant director sat down. “An irrelevant person? That’s good, that’s good.”
He had been worried someone was there to poach Si Fuqing from him.
Shang Lu, without any room for argument, shut the door in the manager’s face, who was still trying to sneak a few more glances.
The manager was furious.
As he recalled the assistant director’s appearance, he had an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t place it.
Just then, his company called again to urge him, so the manager had no time to dwell on it and left quickly.
Inside the lounge.
After downing a bottle of water, the assistant director finally pulled a contract out of his bag. “Miss Si, here it is. Take a look. The contract is in duplicate, and all the details are clearly outlined. Let us know if there’s anything that needs adjusting, and we’ll revise it on the spot!”
“Alright.” Si Fuqing picked up a pen and seemed to muse aloud. “Didn’t you say everything was up to the director?”
The assistant director straightened his back, looking righteous. “The director isn’t here; what I say, he wouldn’t dare oppose!”
If it gets sold out, so be it—after all, the director wouldn’t know.
“I just got hit with a negative news story today,” Si Fuqing said, not signing yet. Her fox-like eyes curved as she smiled. “If you want to back out, that’s fine too.”
She didn’t mind a lighter schedule.
Recently, she has received plenty of offers for advertisements and endorsements.
Some came directly to the training base to negotiate with her, but most went through Tianle Media.
Feng Peizhi forbade her from taking endorsements and rejected all offers unless she handed a few prime deals over to Meng Xue.
To be fair, this was the only decision Feng Peizhi made that aligned with Si Fuqing’s wishes.
“Negative news?” The assistant director was surprised. “What kind of negative news?”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “Shang Lu.”
Is Daxia TV this slow on updates?
Reluctantly, Shang Lu handed over his phone.
The posts above were made by several marketing accounts on Weibo.
All of them had identical text and screenshots:
[Who hasn’t heard about the S-surnamed woman interfering in a wealthy family’s engagement? The man’s mother even stormed into the program set! Truly, some people have no shame and are invincible in their brazenness. But trying to marry into a wealthy family? Just relying on looks won’t cut it.]
After reading it, the assistant director nodded. “So that’s what it’s about, but just from a picture and some text, there’s nothing conclusive. Oh my gosh, these marketing accounts really outdo me in making things up.”
Si Fuqing clasped her hands together, calm and composed. “So, do you still want to sign the contract?”
“Sign! Of course, we’ll sign!” The assistant director got anxious. “Miss Si, you’re not thinking of backing out, are you? The pay is still negotiable!”
“I’ve already said, I don’t want your pay. Since it’s for charity, just donate it.” Si Fuqing picked up the pen again. “Besides, your program genuinely interests me. Consider it a warm-up after I’ve been idling for so long.”
Shang Lu glanced at the program names on the contract. “Huh? You’ve got programs like this? Where are you filming the Crocodile Lake segment?”
The assistant director only now noticed him. “Young man, you look sharp. Interested in filming an ad or something?”
“No interest.” Shang Lu looked proud. “Your program really is just a warm-up. Forget crossing Crocodile Lake; even in a tropical rainforest, I could catch a giant lizard with my bare hands.”
The assistant director, bald and shocked: “?!”
Si Fuqing gave Shang Lu a glance.
Shang Lu muttered quietly, “Of course, Miss Si is the most impressive. Miss Si can take me down with one hand.”
The assistant director: “…”
What kind of people are these?
After signing the contract, Si Fuqing casually asked, “How many people per episode?”
