Secretary Gao was not surprised when he received Yan Man's call.

Secretary Gao's name is Gao Shu. He had been with Ye Jianbin for five or six years. He had seen too much of the wits and courage between Ye Zexi and Yan Man's mother and son.

Many times, he was caught between the four people, but it was really embarrassing.

When Ye Jianbin appointed him as Ye Zexi's agent, Gao Shu also had a headache.

Even Gao Shu must also plan for his own future.

Ye Zexi had just made his debut in the entertainment industry and had already attracted countless fans. If marketing and works were added in the later period, Gao Shu dared to assert that Ye Zexi will definitely be popular.

The young master of their family, although a rich second-generation ignorant, is definitely made to be in this showbiz.

Otherwise, when the young master was clamoring to go to the variety show, Mr. Ye would not agree so easily, and even invested tens of millions.

The show "Time Idol" has only been aired for two weeks, and the investment of tens of millions has returned profitably. When the young master becomes popular in the future, Gao Shu's annual salary will have to be doubled several times.

The work is difficult, but the rewards are great!

Gao Shu gritted his teeth and agreed.

Isn't it just to serve a young ancestor? For the money, he can!

Of course, from the moment he agreed to Mr. Ye, Gao Shu was also considered to be on Young Master's side.

As for Yan Man, it wouldn't do him any good to offend her, he could only say truthfully: "President Ye asked me to be the young master's manager, set up his own studio, and take over the work of the young master."

Yan Man was on a tight string, she then relaxed a little: "Oh, so is Zexi going to continue to be in the entertainment industry?"

Gao Shu responded.

Yan Man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then we have to trouble Secretary Gao, this kid Ye Zexi is quite a trouble."

Gao Shu smiled silently, it's not just troubling, it will make him go bald!

Hanging up Yan Man's phone, Gao Shu took a deep breath and puffed himself up for a while before dialing Ye Zexi's phone.

Ye Zexi picked it up quickly, and the background sound was a bit noisy.

"Hello, I am Ye Zexi." A clear male voice came from the other end of the phone, gentle and polite.

Gao Shu was a little surprised for a moment, and looked at the phone number with uncertainty.

This is indeed the young master's number, why is the tone so...gentle?

After a long time of no reply, Ye Zexi patiently repeated it again: "Hello?"

Gao Shu regained his senses in an instant, and quickly said: "Hello, Young Master, I am Gao Shu, Mr. Ye asked me to contact you."

Ye Zexi understood, and said with a smile: "I see, he also told me about you. Then Secretary Gao, is it convenient for you to come over now?"

Gao Shu said it is convenient.

Ye Zexi told him of the location.

After arranging the meeting time and place, he hung up the call, and Gao Shu fell into deep thought.

Is it this...smooth?

This doubt continued until they met at night.

Ye Zexi couldn't leave the villa because of the recording. Fortunately, the Ye Family's villa was big enough and the conference hall was available at any time.

Pushing open the door of the meeting room, Gao Shu saw Ye Zexi sitting on the sofa at a glance.

He still had swaggering pink hair, and his skin was more porcelain-white under the light, but all the perverse and brutality that originally belonged to Ye Zexi had disappeared, leaving only the gentleness and elegance of a gentleman.

Seeing Gao Shu coming in, Ye Zexi even smiled at him: "Secretary Gao?"

Gao Shu was a little surprised, is the person in front of him really that arrogant young master in his memory?

The boy had changed so much, and his gentle tone was flattering.

Had it not been for the same facial features, Gao Shu would definitely feel that he had met the wrong person.

But what shocked him was still more to come.

Ye Zexi not only greeted Gao Shu to sit down cordially, but also handed Gao Shu a drink.

Kind and pleasant attitude, how could this be the same person as before?

Gao Shu hurried over when he received the call that he did not have time to take a sip of water.

Looking at the drink in his hand, Gao Shu felt this little change in Ye Zexi was inexplicable.

Especially when he looked into Ye Zexi's agile eyes, his eyes were full of trust in him.

The feeling of being trusted by such a picky young master, that also means that the young master recognizes his ability!

The Workaholic Demon Gao Shu feels inspired after realizing this, he promises to himself that he will never let the young master down!

This endorsement, he will have it!

The information He Jinyun gave to Ye Zexi is an endorsement with Bulgari's antique series of jewelry, which is the new product for the next quarter.

Bulgari is a big international brand. Although Ye Zexi is well-known, he is not likely to receive such endorsement as soon as he debuts.

To say that He Jinyun has nothing to do with this is a lie.

Ye Zexi wanted some pocket money for now, but it was not necessary for him to accept Bulgari's endorsement, so he hesitated after knowing that the brand was Bulgari.

But Li Changjian said he is suitable, and He Jinyun also said he is suitable.

Ye Zexi hesitated even more.

After Secretary Gao arrived, Ye Zexi breathed a sigh of relief.

After he brought a drink to Gao Shu, he wanted to hear Gao Shu's opinion. Unexpectedly, while he was trying to put his thoughts together, Gao Shu said--

"I heard Mr. Ye say that the initial price given by Film Emperor He is seven digits? This endorsement fee is too little."

Ye Zexi: "?"

Gao Shu seemed to have entered a state of negotiation at this time, he drank the orange juice in his hand, and sat down opposite He Jinyun with a serious expression: "I think Film Emperor He is also aware that the Bulgari brand has always cooperated with our company, let alone a series of endorsements, even if it is just a general product endorsement, we can easily obtain it without breaking a sweat."

Ye Zexi felt a little dizzy: "Wait..."

The price of one million is still low? They already undercut my payment?

Gao Shu waved his hand to Ye Zexi, gave the young master a reassuring look, and continued: "I know that Film Emperor He sincerely wants to discuss cooperation with our young master, but this cooperation should definitely be based on the sincerity of both parties, right? "

The expressions of the assistant behind He Jinyun changed. He Jinyun didn't show any dissatisfaction, but smiled and said, "If that's what Secretary Gao said, then what do you think is appropriate?"

Gao Shu said a number.

Ye Zexi: "?"

The pay for the forty episodes of TV drama he received before was not so high!

Unexpectedly, Gao Shu misunderstood Ye Zexi's meaning: "Young Master, you think that the price is still low? Then double it."

Ye Zexi: "?"

In the end, Gao Shu helped Ye Zexi sign the endorsement with a price that was too high.

After signing the contract, Gao Shu comforted Ye Zexi and said: "Young Master, the price is a bit low, but this is our first endorsement after all, and it is only a series. When your reputation goes up in the future, we will have all the resources from our company. We can send them all to you, then you don't have to bother with this little Bulgari endorsement, yeah?"

Ye Zexi's heart trembled slightly, just a little Bulgari endorsement.

Is this the life of the riches?

Of course Ye Zexi has not forgotten that he is a rich man.

It is just his misfortune. His happiness to live in riches was stopped by Ye Jianbin.

But when he finishes filming this commercial, he doesn't have to be restrained anymore!

Thinking of this, Ye Zexi became happy.

Even before he left, He Jinyun proposed to add Ye Zexi's WeChat, he agreed.

The second verification message was finally passed. He Jinyun looked down at the watermelon doll's head on the screen, and the corners of his mouth bent a little.

The assistant also waited until everyone was gone, before she got quite dissatisfied: "Brother He, the amount they are asking for, after exhausting the brand endorsement fee, the rest of it is coming out from your own pocket! They are being too much, right?"

He Jinyun turned off the screen of the phone and looked at the assistant with a smile: "Then do you know how much I invested in "Famous General"?"

The assistant just followed He Jinyun for a short time, but she also heard that "Famous General" is the first movie that He Jinyun takes on the role of director and screenwriter.

She shook her head.

He Jinyun looked at the assistant, his eyes deepened with a smile: "I think it's worth exchanging a few million for a favorite actor."

Given all the money, the person naturally can't run away.

As soon as the assistant raised her eyes, she met He Jinyun's smile, and her heart slammed when the beauty hit her.

The next second, the assistant blushed and looked away.

Forget it, her idol is happy!

He Jinyun was happy, and Ye Zexi, who got rich immediately, was even happier.

Ye Zexi had even begun to figure out when to retire. Now it was definitely not enough. The money had not yet been received, at least until he started to receive the royalty, he could retire then.

While Ye Zexi was thinking about retiring, Gao Shu was talking with Li Changjian about Ye Zexi's future development plan.

Although it is the first time that Gao Shu has been an agent, these matters are nothing compared to the company's affairs, and he can do it more smoothly.

After exchanging a few words with each other, a staff member rushed over and whispered: "Director Li, something happened..."

After hearing that, Li Changjian's face changed suddenly, and he stood up and said to Ye Zexi, "Zexi, it's late today. You should go back to rest for tomorrow's recording. Secretary Gao, please go back first, I'll call you later."

Gao Shu nodded, without saying anything.

Ye Zexi did not listen to what the staff said, but he was not interested in these things. He just said to Li Changjian: "Okay, I've troubled you today, Uncle Li. You should finish early and rest soon."

Li Changjian's expression eased for a moment when he heard this, he smiled and patted Ye Zexi on the shoulder: "Okay, I know, you go back first."

After talking, Li Changjian left with the staff.

Gao Shu glanced at Ye Zexi with some satisfaction.

Their young master has really changed.

How could the old Ye Zexi say these words in the past?

Gao Shu felt more and more satisfied with Ye Zexi, and at the same time he had decided that he must be the most solid backbone for his young master. The work of the studio cannot be delayed!

With this thought, Gao Shu also left.

Ye Zexi went back to the dormitory alone, it was the next day that he knew what happened last night was really not a trivial matter——

Tang Jing and Cui Yi fought.

Yu Yan arrived at the door of Ye Zexi's dormitory early in the morning and told him about the matter.

The specific reason for the fight between the two was unknown, and Li Changjian was very angry at this incident, and he repeatedly urged the staff and the contestants that if anyone publicizes this matter, then they can say goodbye to their career in showbiz.

Li Changjian had a wide network of contacts in the circle. In his early years, he won numerous film awards and hosted several large-scale CCTV events. His words were naturally deterrent, so this matter got suppressed.

Ye Zexi couldn't sit still after hearing this, and immediately prepared to go to Li Changjian.

"Hey, hey, Director Li is afraid that you would be angry, so he repeatedly emphasized that we are not allowed to tell you about this! If you go to him now, I will be forced to retire today!" Yu Yan blocked the door firmly. He would not let Ye Zexi go.

Ye Zexi frowned and looked down at Yu Yan: "Then why are you telling me?"

Yu Yan's eyes widened instantly, and he felt ashamed of being caught. He also became a little awkward. After a long while, he whispered: "Just...that, before, last Friday, you were..."

He didn't finish, Ye Zexi also understood what he wanted to say.

"How is Tang Jing?" After calming down, Ye Zexi changed the subject.

Yu Yan immediately said: "He came back in the middle of the night last night, he seemed to be okay."

"Is he injured?" Ye Zexi asked.

Yu Yan said truthfully: "I was so far away, I didn't see it clearly, maybe not?"

Ye Zexi didn't see Tang Jing until the recording started. Yu Yan said he might not be injured, but Tang Jing did get injured.

Tang Jing has delicate facial features, so he usually uses light makeup or no makeup at all when recording.

As soon as he came out today, Ye Zexi found that his makeup was very heavy today, and the corners of his mouth were a little torn.

Ye Zexi couldn't help but walk over: "Are you okay?"

Seeing Ye Zexi, Tang Jing's eyes were surprised, but he quickly pursed his lips and said, "What can happen?"

Ye Zexi frowned and said bluntly: "Are you really okay? I know what happened last night."

Tang Jing was even more surprised, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he met Yu Yan's gaze not far away, and he quickly understood.

He smiled helplessly: "Yu Yan even dared to tell you even after Director Li had told other contestants many times that they can't let anyone not present to know."

Ye Zexi sat down beside him: "You didn't suffer, right?"

Tang Jing nodded his head: "How could I suffer a loss if I attacked first?"

Ye Zexi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If you get into a fight next time, tell me in advance."

Tang Jing said: "What? Are you going to help?"

Ye Zexi raised his eyebrows and moved his arms: "I can fight off four people by myself."

Tang Jing didn't take it seriously, so he laughed it off.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Last night, I saw Teacher He talking to you? What are you talking about?"

Ye Zexi already regarded Tang Jing as his friend, so he didn't hide it from him: "We were talking about an advertisement contract."

Tang Jing's expression changed slightly, but soon disappeared: "It seems that Teacher He appreciates you very much."

Ye Zexi was not happy when he heard Tang Jing say this: "I hope he doesn't appreciate me."

Tang Jing smiled: "That's what you would say, if other people can be appreciated by Teacher He so much, they will smile ear to ear in their sleep."

Ye Zexi sighed and shook his head slowly.

But after Tang Jing mentioned this, Ye Zexi thought of something he had ignored for a long time.

According to the development of the plot in the novel, Tang Jing should have met He Jinyun in "Time Idol".

He also would get invited by He Jinyun to participate in the movie. During the filming of the movie, the relationship between the two started to bloom.

When the movie gets released, Tang Jing instantly becomes popular, and the two also announce their love relationship.

How come He Jinyun has left now, and Tang Jing doesn't seem to be very familiar with He Jinyun?

Before Ye Zexi could gather together the pieces, the two instructors walked in. There was someone who came in with them, it was the temporary instructor of this episode, Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming is a highly qualified university professor. Many outstanding musicians in the entertainment industry are his students.

The instructors were already in place, but there was one contestant short of the participants. It was Cui Yi who fought with Tang Jing yesterday.

Cui Yi didn't rush to the scene until two minutes before the recording started.

It was also at this time that Ye Zexi knew that Tang Jing really did not suffer.

On the contrary, Cui Yi's left eye corner was all swollen, as if he had been stung by a bee. The makeup artist should have tried their best to help him conceal his flaws, but anyone could still see the traces of bruising.

It was obvious to the naked eye, but it was even more obvious under the camera.

The other contestants did not dare to discuss, but their eyes said it all.

Dozens of gazes were bluntly staring at Cui Yi's face.

Cui Yi looked a little embarrassed, and stared at Tang Jing fiercely.

Tang Jing just turned a blind eye.

Li Changjian also arrived soon, and the recording officially began.

Everyone tacitly said nothing about what happened last night.

Shan Zeyu also announced the new rules for the next elimination round.

In the third elimination, only ten of the twenty-five contestants will be promoted to the next round.

This time, the 25 contestants will still be divided into five groups to assess on dance and vocal respectively. The audience and the instructors will provide scores for the contestants, and the ten contestants in the top two groups will directly advance to the next round.

It is worth mentioning that there are no more rules for grouping this time, and contestants can form teams freely.

As soon as Shan Zeyu finished his words, there was a sound of discussion on the court.

Ye Zexi was also a little surprised. The competition system this time seemed to be freestyle, but it was actually more cruel.

Suddenly, Ye Zexi was being tapped on the shoulder, and Tang Jing looked at him while offering an invitation: "Do you want to group together?"

Ye Zexi was taken aback first, then pursed his lips and smiled, and readily agreed: "Okay."
