Chasing stars is not as good as chasing agents

Ji Shiteng stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Sang Yani in disbelief: "You want to quit the circle???"

Sang Yani shrunk her shoulders, pursed her mouth, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, little brother, I know you have done so much for me, but after what happened last time, my family members strongly objected to my entertainment. After staying in the circle, they gave me two ways, either to go back to graduate school, or to go home and do business with them.

"My parents have already discussed it with the company, and the boss agreed that I should terminate the contract peacefully in advance." Sang Yani folded her hands together and apologized desperately, "I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier, but I really don't know how to say it, so I just It dragged on for a while."

Sang Yani twisted her fingers in distress, and said: "My parents have already forced me to sever ties, saying that if I don't quit the circle, they will not recognize me as a daughter, and last time I went back, my mother hid alone There were so many sighs in the room, I didn't want them to worry about my safety all day long."

"..." Ji Shi was so overwhelmed that he didn't know what to say.

On the one hand, he understands the thoughts of Sangyani's parents, on the other hand, he also feels that he is really asking for trouble.

Before Sang Yani, Ji Shi had brought many small artists, but most of them were in charge for a short period of time. He was not their main manager, and as the main manager, he actually managed only two artists.

The first female artist had a boyfriend when she was studying, and got married less than a year after her debut. The husband of the female artist didn't want her to show her face outside, and could afford the liquidated damages, so she quickly quit the circle.

The second female artist was carrying goods on Little Green Book while acting. Unexpectedly, the goods became popular. Many brand owners came to her, and the Taobao store she co-founded was also booming. She had no skills at all. I didn't have much interest in acting, so I gave up my acting career and changed my career to concentrate on selling goods and running Taobao stores.

Because this female artist can use commercial resources to exchange with the company, the company has no dissatisfaction with her not acting, and instead continues to cooperate happily. But similarly, she does not need an acting agent, and cooperates with Ji Shi It also ended.

However, this female artist trusts Ji Shi very much and likes Ji Shi very much, so when she changed careers, she asked Ji Shi specifically if she wanted to go with her and start a new business together.

After experiencing Waterloo twice, Ji Shi was extra cautious when selecting a newcomer.

At the beginning, he would choose Sangyani as a newcomer. Apart from her beauty and potential, he could see that Sangyani liked acting very much during the conversation. Since she really loves this industry, then Sangyani should Will do it longer.

In addition, he still has a little selfishness. He knows that Sangyani's parents and the boss of the company are good friends, so it will be more convenient for him to talk about resources in the future, but this matter has become a double-edged sword now. , just because they are good friends, Sangyani can perfectly terminate the contract with the company.

"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Sang Yani looked at Ji Shi worriedly, only to see him slumped on a chair, his eyes glazed over.

Ji Shi didn't seem to hear Sang Yani calling him, and was still in a daze.

Sang Yani bit her lip and said sadly: "I know the role of imperial concubine this time, you have helped me a lot, so I will do all the work I have before leaving. I'm really... really sorry, Brother Xiao, I used to say that I want to be popular and popular, I want to fly with you and make a lot of money..."

Sang Yani was already a little choked up after speaking.

Hearing her crying voice, Ji Shi felt even more uncomfortable. He opened his mouth to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything. Sang Yani's withdrawal meant that he had to bring in new people from scratch.

He thinks that after bringing Sangyani, he has been doing his best and has done so much. It is a lie to say that he has no complaints in his heart, but he also clearly understands the principle of getting together and going away. Sometimes the artists he brought along find another high branch As often happens, at least Sangyani still has a conscience.

Ji Shi rubbed his face with his palm: "Stop talking, just let me be quiet for a while."

"Okay, okay." Sang Yani was a little worried. Before leaving, she specially found the waiter in the coffee shop, gave her a tip and a phone number, and told her, "If there is something wrong with the guest at table 7, please call me. a phone call."

This coffee shop is just downstairs from their company, and because they are regular customers, the waiters are familiar with them.

"Okay." The waiter glanced at table No. 7, and saw the boy sitting in the corner holding his head and rubbing his hair for a while, and frantically stirring the coffee with a spoon for a while. It was obvious that there were three sticks of sugar in that cup of coffee. Still looked bitter.

The waiter asked, "Brother, have you lost your love?"

Sang Yani: "No, it's about work, sorry for the trouble."

"Miss Xiaoni, you're welcome." The waiter didn't know Ji Shi's name, but he knew Sang Yani.

Gu Jianchi had just gotten off the plane, and after his mobile phone got a signal, he flipped through Moments, and happened to see Ji Shi's Moments posted yesterday.

Ji Shi: I will join the group in two days! ! !Call for my Xiao Ni! ! !Call for the crew!

At the same time, a beautiful picture of Sanyani is attached.

This is the daily life of the manager’s circle of friends. 70.00% of the posts are related to artists. After entering the group, posting, finishing posting, posting on the program, and posting good data... In short, we must let the people in the circle of friends know , My artist is active!

Gu Jianchi thought that Ji Shi would meet with the group, and there would be no chance to meet him then, and he was still thinking about the meal that Ji Shi owed him.

So he called Ji Shi, who rang for a long time before answering.

"Hey?"

Ji Shi's voice on the phone was a little hoarse.

Gu Jianchi didn't notice anything wrong at first, so she smiled and said, "It's me, I'm back in Dongcheng, you still remember to invite me to dinner, I can come to ask for it now."

Ji Shi is very irritable now. After talking with Sang Yani just now, he went back to the company and reasoned with the boss, to the effect that the boss agreed to terminate the contract so easily. It's still a theory, otherwise where can he vent his grief and indignation? !

The boss was also wronged and comforted him.

But this didn't make Ji Shi feel better, on the contrary, he became even more irritable. After he went out, he also ran into a manager who didn't match him. After Shi's artist ran away again, the manager taunted him in a strange way.

Ji Shi's mood was extremely bad, and then Gu Jianchi called.

Gu Jianchi's tone on the phone was brisk, and he was very happy when he heard that the wind was going smoothly. In contrast, Ji Shi had been bored for a long time when the wind was going against the water, and the bucket finally exploded, so he said angrily, "Eat, eat, What to eat! I will eat you JB!!"

"..." Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It doesn't need to be so grand."

Gu Jianchi made a joke, which brightened Ji Shi's mood for a moment.He was just in a bad mood, and after beating Gu Jianchi, he regretted it.

This matter has nothing to do with Gu Jianchi at all. The other person just got off the plane and made a phone call with good intentions. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to him, but he was inexplicably insulted.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, and I was a little irritable when I spoke." Ji Shi wiped his sore eyes and took a deep breath, "It's not against you."

Ji Shi didn't want Gu Jianchi to hear that he wanted to cry, he almost spoke in a hoarse voice, like a sour cloth strip twisted into a tight ball, his voice was astringent.

Gu Jianchi heard the choking in his voice, the smile on his lips gradually faded, replaced by the raised eyebrows, and his voice softened: "What happened to you?"

Ji Shi is still in the company now, although he has deliberately found a secluded corner, but there is no guarantee that he will not meet his colleagues, so he tried his best to calm down and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I just got into some trouble at work, I'll go back first Take a break, take a break and you'll be fine."

He smiled wryly: "The matter of inviting you to dinner can only be slowed down..."

Gu Jianchi: "Where is your home?"

What responded to him was Ji Shi's silence, and Gu Jianchi said unhurriedly, "I can find out if you don't tell me."

There was a hint of irresistible strength in his light tone.

Ji Shi was in a state of confusion now, and for a moment he didn't realize where a small [-]th-tier artist had the confidence to speak such big words, and he knew that it was his fault for complaining about Gu Jianchi just now, so under Gu Jianchi's questioning, , He gave an address quickly, and then hung up the phone after speaking, for fear of continuing the conversation, he couldn't help crying, it would be too embarrassing.

Gu Jianchi hung up the phone and left the airport. Looking at the Maybach who came to pick him up, he pondered for a moment and said to Pu Bufan, "Buy me a car."

Pu Bufan immediately took out his mobile phone to check it, and then told Gu Jianchi about the latest models that were launched.

"No, the most common one, a car worth 10,000+ will do." Gu Jianchi thought that he should do a full set for acting, so as not to have to park the car far away every time he went to find Ji in the future.

Pu Bufan was stunned for a while, he had never heard Mr. Gu make such a simple request, he was stunned for a long time before saying: "Okay..."

***

It was agreed that Ji Shi would treat Gu Jianchi to dinner, but in the end it was Gu Jianchi who came to the door with all kinds of hot pot ingredients and iced cola.

Before opening the door, Ji Shi deliberately wiped his face with a wet towel to make himself feel better.

After opening the door, he tried his best to smile at Gu Jianchi: "Welcome."

After finishing speaking, he quickly looked away, and lowered his head to take the food bag in Gu Jianchi's hand: "Come in and sit down, thank you for your hard work, I need you to bring ingredients when you come to my house for dinner."

Gu Jianchi first took a careful look at Ji Shi, making sure that his eyes were only a little red, and his tone was normal. Perhaps he had calmed down, so he took off his shoes, put on slippers, and said half-truthfully: " Then treat it as if you still owe me half a meal."

Ji Shi was dumbfounded, and joked: "I didn't expect to meet someone who is better than me, okay, I owe you half a meal, next time I will bring the ingredients to your house."

Gu Jianchi was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was really shooting himself in the foot. He just bought a cheap car, and now he wants to buy a small apartment?

Gu Jianchi coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "The elevator in your apartment is scary, buzzing, as if there are monsters outside."

"This is an old apartment, and the elevator has problems from time to time." Ji Shi blinked and said slyly, "That's why I rented the third floor specially, so that even if the elevator breaks down, I won't have too much trouble going up and down the stairs."

Gu Jian touched his nose embarrassingly, probably because he couldn't use or think of such a small life trick.

He followed Ji Shi into the house, turned his eyes and looked around.

This rental house is about [-] square meters. Although it is small in size, it has two bedrooms, the living room is in the middle, and the left and right sides of the living room are the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

There is a gray-blue sofa in the center of the living room, with several clothes scattered on it, the pillows that should be placed on the sofa are lying on the carpet, a pot of small green plants is placed on the coffee table, and several documents are also placed in disorder. Then, the opened laptop showed that Ji Shi was not resting, but was working. Next to the laptop was a teacup with a certain brand's LOGO printed on it. The water in the teacup was still steaming.

Gu Jianchi took a closer look, and found that it was a health-preserving goji berry.

It's still the so-called black wolfberry that is super nourishing for the kidneys.

Gu Jianchi: "..."

There was also a pot of lush green monstera in the corner of the balcony, Gu Jianchi caught a glimpse of a guitar next to the sofa, he raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Ji Shi to have such leisurely elegance and expertise.

Gu Jianchi walked over curiously. The guitar was very clean, obviously not just for display, so he stretched out his hand to pluck the strings again.

A few simple syllables drifted into the ears of Ji Shi who was in the kitchen. He turned his head, looked at Gu Jianchi in the living room and said, "I learned it when I was in college. I used to play it a lot. Now I don't have much time."

Gu Jianchi looked forward to it: "Can you play it for me when you have time?"

Ji Shi readily agreed: "Okay."

Gu Jian stood up straight, her head touched the green monstera, and only heard the rustling sound of the elephant-ear-like leaves.

A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, why did the voice not seem real?

Gu Jianchi poked it curiously again, it turned out to be fake...

He just said, how can Ji Shi still have time to raise plants when he is so busy with work.

Ji Shi coughed lightly: "I have raised real plants before, but once I raised them, they died once, so I simply replaced them with fake plants that will not die. The succulent on the tea table is also fake."

Gu Jianchi also has a deep understanding of the problem that the plants in the house die once they are raised: "The plants I grow are also the same. Either they are watered to death, or they are burned to death after applying too much fertilizer, and some are dried to death or sun-dried. , was bitten to death by insects, in short, there are all kinds of ways to die."

Later, his plants were handed over to his housekeeper to take care of them, so he was spared the death penalty.

"Almost." Ji Shi said shyly, "Most of the plants I raise are dead. Because I travel frequently and the itinerary changes frequently, I can't be sure how long the business trip is. Every time I come back, I find that the plants are dead, even the cactus. They all died."

The two had a good chat at first, and Ji Shi had a smile on his frowning face, but the moment Ji Shi took out the food that Gu Jianchi bought from the bag, the world was quiet.

Top snowflake beef, 790 nine yuan a box.

Premium black pork, 310 yuan a box.

Pure natural pollution-free organic vegetables, 88 yuan a box.

Ji Shi: "..."

The author has something to say: Ji Shi: I will eat you JB!

Gu Jianchi: Warm welcome.
