Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Raising a Star (6)

Without an entertainment company or an agent, Chuzheng found it inconvenient to do anything.

[Main Quest: Please find an agent within ten hours. The necessary funds will be provided by the System; the more you spend, the better!]

Chuzheng: “…”

Even giving birth takes ten months.

You’re asking me to find an agent in ten hours, are you serious?

Do you think agents are cabbages in the market, waiting for me to buy them by the pound?

[Miss, agents don’t need to be born.] King’s Account’s tone was cheerful as it commonly encouraged its own Miss: [Go for it, Miss, you can do it!]

I really can’t!!

After cheering Chuzheng on, King’s Account disappeared.

Leaving Chuzheng alone, disheveled in the wind.

What kind of karma have I created!

Famous agents are all signed with companies.

They’re not so easy to find…

Chuzheng looked at her own fist.

Suddenly, she felt much more confident.

–

A good agent can save you a lot of trouble.

Therefore, you can’t just grab anyone off the street.

The original owner at least mixed in this circle; there were many agents’ information in her memory.

But after Chuzheng filtered through them… she realized she didn’t like any of them.

Choosing an agent for herself, she certainly wanted someone she liked.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be annoying to have them around all day?

She didn’t have a masochistic streak.

Chuzheng searched online.

A bunch of messy stuff popped up.

“This one looks good.”

Chuzheng was looking at the details on the page.

The profile was of a woman, not dressed in business attire like other agents, presenting a rigid image.

This woman wore a black and white long dress, with fiery red lips, a strong presence, and looked as if she were in an advertisement.

This is good!

It’s her!

–

Lan Ling was swamped, her phone ringing incessantly, its shrill tone adding to the chaos of her busy environment.

She snatched up her phone without even looking to see who it was, slid to answer, and put it to her ear while her fingers danced across the keyboard.

“Hello.”

Lan Ling’s voice was clear and decisive, with a sharp edge to it.

The call was from a pleasant female voice, though it lacked any variation in tone.

After listening to the other party, Lan Ling stopped typing and leaned on the desk.

“You’re saying you want me to be your agent?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know who I am?” Lan Ling tapped her fingertips on the desk, and the busy rhythm suddenly slowed.

“Lan Ling.” The caller paused, then there was no more.

“Miss, I suggest you look over my details some more, I’m very busy right now, I’ll contact you later, okay?”

Lan Ling hung up the phone.

She didn’t take the matter to heart.

After finally dealing with her work, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sister Lan, we’re leaving now.”

“Mhm, be careful on the way.”

“Goodbye, Sister Lan.”

Lan Ling walked out the door in her high heels, the ten-centimeter heels causing her feet to ache.

Lan Ling simply took them off, carrying them in her hand ready to call a car to go back.

Just as she walked down, a flamboyantly red supercar stopped in front of her.

Lan Ling: “…”

Lan Ling looked into the car and saw a girl sitting in the driver’s seat.

Large sunglasses nearly concealed her entire face.

“Miss Chi.” Lan Ling recognized her.

After all, she was a popular young actress; even without interaction, her face was familiar.

“Miss Lan Ling, I called you earlier.” Chuzheng was in a rush, with only ten hours for the task. If she didn’t complete it, there was no doubling of time—once the time elapsed, it would rewind.

Utterly inhumane!

Terrible experience!

Lan Ling was slightly surprised: “That call was from you?”

“Do you want to make the headlines?” Chuzheng asked Lan Ling seriously.

Lan Ling was a smart person.

With just a hint, she understood.

There were quite a few reporters around, who knew what sort of stories they’d concoct from their photographs.

Lan Ling’s gaze swept the surroundings before giving the overly flashy supercar another look and then she got in after opening the door.

“Miss Chi, why would you want me to be your manager?”

Lan Ling was not one to beat around the bush and posed her question as soon as she got in the car.

“…” You are better-looking than those misshapen jujubes.

Chuzheng did not voice the reason that ‘you’re good-looking.’

“You’re capable,” she said.

“There are plenty of capable managers out there,” Lan Ling flicked her hair back: “Miss Chi, that reason doesn’t seem very heartfelt.”

Chuzheng: “…”

I was indeed heartfelt!

Where was it not heartfelt?

I thought about it for several seconds!

“Miss Chi just terminated her contract with Eastern Entertainment, and the fact that you sought me out indicates that you haven’t found a new agency. Yet, with your current popularity, many entertainment companies would be vying for you,” Lan Ling deduced.

Big-name entertainment companies have star agents.

Getting her a top-notch manager would almost certainly pose no problem.

Who is Lan Ling?

She doesn’t belong to any company.

Although many companies have wanted to poach her, she hasn’t needed them.

No one was quite clear about Lan Ling’s background, but her resources were always top-notch.

However, Lan Ling didn’t take on artists lightly.

“I dislike rules.” She was the rule—why should she listen to others!

Lan Ling smiled politely: “Miss Chi, if you can’t give me a better reason, then please stop the car.”

Chuzheng responded politely, “Miss Lan, you’re set to be the manager.”

Lan Ling: “???”

Lan Ling was ‘kidnapped’ by Chuzheng to the hotel where she was currently staying.

It was indeed a kidnapping.

Standing at the doorway holding her high heels, Lan Ling was neither exactly angry nor entirely without anger.

It seemed that in all her years in the entertainment industry, she had never encountered an artist like this.

Who forces someone to become their manager?

If she had been a man, Lan Ling might have thought it was because she was smitten with her looks.

But she was a girl.

Why did it have to be her?

Chuzheng placed a contract in front of her: “Take a look.”

Lan Ling: “…”

The contract was all prepared!

“Miss Chi…”

“If you don’t sign today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave here,” Chuzheng sat opposite her, legs crossed, posing like a boss, calmly observing her.

There was no time to look for another manager.

Going back in time was out of the question!

So she had to sign, whether she wanted to or not!

[…]Sister, finding a manager has turned into a domineering CEO coercing a delicate wife to sign a life contract; even the System was impressed.

Lan Ling: “…”

Damn it!

“Miss Chi, this is false imprisonment, you know that’s illegal, right?”

Chuzheng: “Oh.”

Completely unconcerned.

Lan Ling: “…”

The circle didn’t say that this young actress was of such a temperament, did it?

Wasn’t she said to be easy to get along with?

This big boss vibe from The Bund, was it the same person who was supposed to be easy to get along with?!

What a joke!

Lan Ling, hands on hips, tossed aside her high heels and picked up the contract.

The contract was only a few pages long.

Lan Ling read it quickly.

The entire contract was pretty much made up… and calling it that wasn’t wrong.

Only the salary looked very tempting.

But in the context, it seemed more like a fabrication!
