Chapter 8

Hao Bing glanced at Ning Zhi, having long since become accustomed to his boss's lack of principles when pursuing beautiful women

"Reschedule the time?" Zhen Li listened thoughtfully to the news brought by Su Ge Ge

"It's somewhat interesting." Ning Zhi used his finger to tap on the table. He had seen many women; some were not fond of money, but those who were not fond of fame were truly rare. Every day, dressed beautifully, as street photography subjects, the queens of merchandise, becoming influential stars with a voice is a temptation that almost every woman cannot resist

Hao Bing knew that the boss's gaze was saying, "Did I spend a large sum of money to bring you back just for you to loaf around?"

Zhen Li spread his hands and said, "Isn't this narcissism? Although my livestream has some content, does it really warrant the big boss lowering himself time and again? The contract terms they offered are simply too good. Is this signing a host? It’s more like signing a small boss's wife."

Sugege gave Zhen Li a disdainful glance and said, "Don't be so narcissistic."

Hao Bing quickly agreed and went to call Zhang Ziyao

Ning Zhi stroked his chin and said, "Artistic young women always have a touch of aloofness. Since we are sincere, there is no need to be overly meticulous."

Xie said he still disagreed? Ning frowned and looked at Hao Bing

However, regardless of the facts, this long-term contract is only beneficial for you. If you do not agree to be coerced by him, can he really force you? Have you learned Taekwondo for nothing?" said Su Gege

Women are always particularly harsh on their bodies; even when they have become as thin as a reed, they still feel that they should lose a little weight from their stomachs

Zhang Ziyao and Su Gege merely looked at Zhen Li without speaking

The meeting place designated by Ning Zhidin is "Han Yan Cui," a restaurant with a very traditional style. It is said that the paintings and furnishings displayed in the establishment are genuine antiques

Moreover, Zhang Ziyao's attitude is also very uncooperative, holding a golden rice bowl while begging everywhere.

"I will not go, my father is coming home tonight." Zhen Li declined Ning Zhi's invitation to meet.

"You should be careful yourself," Zhang Ziyao reminded.

However, one should not be too ungrateful; even if Zhen Li does not care, she still has to consider the feelings of Su Gege and Zhang Ziyao

The talent agency is really a scam, Hao Bing rolled his eyes inwardly

However, if a man is interested in a woman, it is a different matter

Ning Zhi probably did not expect that there were still such ungrateful online female streamers in this world, and his temper was provoked. Originally, beautiful women were dispensable, but he insisted on picking this ungrateful beauty flower, Xie, to play with.

Is there really such a thing as a pie falling from the sky in the twenty-first century

Of course, Zhen Li did not mention such a disgraceful matter to Su Gege, but the news brought by Su Gege and Zhang Ziyao left Zhen Li greatly astonished

Hao Bingxin thought, well, she hasn't even started yet and is already feeling jealous

Focus on creating me? '' Zhenli exaggeratedly made a fearful expression

Psychologically, it is quite similar to Ning Zhi. At first, Zhen Li's infatuation with Sui Yu was merely a superficial attraction to his appearance. However, Sui Yu severely undermined Zhen Li's self-confidence. If she did not manage to rise up in front of Sui Yu, she would be unable to sleep. Just thinking about him excites her; it is a thrill of finding a target she wishes to conquer.

I will take care of it right away said Hao Bing

Sugege looked at Zhen Li with a face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, saying, "Ah, intellectuals are indeed in demand. You actually managed to have Young Master Ning visit your humble abode three times. Are you really not considering it? Don't be unappreciative."

Sugege said: "What are you being tsundere about? Does Young Master Ning not deserve you? I don't even have the qualifications to be pursued myself"

Unfortunately, Zhen Li has been guarding the Xu Baozi shop for a week, yet he hasn't seen a single rabbit fur.

After carefully shaping her eyebrows, Zhen Li donned her pink ultra-short sports outfit paired with a white thin fleece jacket. She cautiously opened the door to her room, listened for any sounds from Professor Liang's room, and then swiftly dashed out to wait for an opportunity.

You help me arrange a time with Xie, I would like to meet her in person said Ning Zhi

Zhen Li sighed again, "His conditions are certainly good, but his face is not symmetrical enough, and he is a relative of Sui Yu. If I sign the contract, how can I face Sui Yu in the future when I have to take action in the melon field or under the plum tree?"

Zhen Li is simply not interested in a man like Ning Zhi, who is surrounded by such flowers and admirers. Being with such a man means that most of her energy would be spent competing with other women for his attention, which is detrimental to both her physical and mental well-being. It is also not conducive to raising the next generation. Furthermore, one can anticipate a future filled with dramatic battles over inheritance among the illegitimate children of wealthy families, with potential legal disputes lasting a decade.

Isn't Zhen Li still thinking about it

In fact, it is not that Zhang Ziyao is uncooperative; rather, after these years of interaction, he understands very well what kind of person Zhen Li is. She would absolutely refuse to sign a long-term contract, and even more so, she is unwilling to become famous all over the country.

Always successful, Hao Bing, who used Young Master Ning's money as if he were a charitable benefactor, was unable to present a satisfactory report to his boss this time

In his childhood, Zhen Li looked down upon the idiom story of waiting by the stump for a hare, considering the person foolish. Little did he expect that the wheel of fortune would turn, and today it was his turn to willingly act foolishly.

When Zhen Li received a call from Zhang Ziyao, a sense of vigilance immediately arose in her heart. "Ning Zhi wants to see me?"

Sugege was left speechless, but she had to admit that Zhen Li's mind was still clear. She also found it strange how the platform was so determined to support Zhen Li.

Zhen Li has accompanied Su Ge Ge to social gatherings twice, but in fact, the flavors of the dishes do not suit her very well, as they are too bland

Zhen Li glanced at Su Gege and said, "Are you so naive because you've been eating too many crayfish lately, causing your brain cells to dissolve?"

This desire for success has largely disappeared since Zhen Li transitioned from being a top student to a poor performer many years ago

After failing the Zhenli challenge and missing out on the next round, she felt quite relieved and was not discouraged at all. Every morning, she would wake up at 4:30, as if energized, to wash up and do her makeup, including her eyebrows. Her features were all very beautiful, with the exception of her slightly sparse eyebrows, which was actually a point of criticism she had for herself

Zhen Li sighed and said, "Silly girl, it's like boiling a frog in warm water; when the time comes, you won't be able to resist even if you don't want to be submerged. Let me tell you a piece of advice, don't easily test human nature, whether it is that of others or your own."

She did not agree? Ning Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked her assistant Hao, "Did you not show her our sincerity?"

The platform requires you to sign a long-term contract Zhang Ziyao stated succinctly without any further persuasive words

Zhen Li looked towards Zhang Ziyao. Although Su Gege was also an old hand in the game, she certainly did not possess the same sharpness as Zhang Ziyao

The introduction of chili peppers to China occurred quite late

In this city, countless individuals aspire to curry favor with the Ning family

"Have we met somewhere before?" Ning Zhi said as he stood up upon seeing Zhen Li

Typically, the brokerage firm holds the contracts of female hosts; as long as they can persuade the agent, they will naturally find a way to make Xie agree

Sugege cast a glance at Zhen Li and said, "Don't overthink it. The platform aims to create cultural programs and has high hopes for your live broadcast, wanting to fully support its development"

Although Zhen Li's live broadcast program has an ancient style, she would never agree to travel back to ancient times, even if it meant death. She simply enjoys eating fragrant and spicy hot pot and skewers, which is quite unsophisticated and not artistic at all

Ning Zhi's first reaction to the *picture* book was, "What is the relationship between her and her agent?" Such a biased economic contract usually implies that their relationship is not ordinary

The conditions we have provided are already comparable to those of the top ten female streamers on the platform said Hao Bing

"Are you still thinking about Young Master Sui?" Su Gege scoffed, "Stop dreaming, there isn't even a shadow of him. With your method of waiting for a hare by the stump, even Wang Baochuan, who endured for eighteen years, might not succeed.

It is said that they are just ordinary friends, Hao Bing stated

Su Gege has been secretly urging Zhen Li to pay attention to Ning Zhi out of personal interest. The social circle of the Su family is somewhat awkward, neither high enough nor low enough. If Su Gege can take the lead in entering the kind of circle that the Ning family belongs to, there will be hope for competing for the family fortune. Her father has a tendency to favor sons over daughters, so Su Gege must work even harder to stand out.

Zhen Li helplessly tilted his head, knowing that there is absolutely no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The number of revival slots is limited, and the major forces have long since divided the spoils. Now, with the sudden invitation to Zhen Li, he could not help but think in terms of the unspoken rules.

"Doesn't she have a management company?" Ning Zhi asked somewhat impatiently, expressing annoyance not only towards Hao Bing but also towards the unappreciative "Xie Shuo".

She and her agent are friends; initially, it was just for fun. Although she signed a contract, it is renewed every six months, which imposes almost no constraints on her said Hao Bing

Zhang Ziyao's vigilance is no less than that of Zhen Li, after all, given Zhen Li's current status on the platform, he is simply not qualified for the big boss to lower himself to meet with him individually
