CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 161: QIYI POACHES TALENT, CHARLOTTE SHAW HESITATES

Charlotte Shaw brought the two back to the film crew, and her little assistant finally put her mind at ease.

It was then that she curiously looked at the two people beside her own artist.

The guy had a decent face value, but seeing the girl made her momentarily stunned.

Although the girl was wearing a mask, judging from her captivating eyes, the face under the mask surely wouldn’t be worse.

"Xiao Zhu, why are you still standing there dumbfounded?"

Charlotte Shaw frowned slightly seeing her like this, her voice reflected some displeasure.

Xiao Zhu snapped back and apologized, "Sister Shaw, sorry, I was a bit mesmerized just now."

Musing over what was so mesmerizing, Charlotte Shaw soon understood.

She couldn’t help but chuckle; this girl was mesmerized by just the eyes—if she saw the whole face, wouldn’t she lose her soul?

Suddenly.

An uneven welcome sound erupted.

It made several people stop in their tracks.

"Welcome Miss Green for the inspection."

Charlotte Shaw rubbed her forehead, she knew this would happen, although not exactly as she imagined, it was still quite embarrassing.

Claire Green’s eyes paused, even she who was usually calm suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.

Who the hell came up with such a welcome?

"Sister Green, do we really need to go inside?"

Harry Lewis was shocked by the scene, his mind retreating—was this film crew really serious about filming?

If Charlotte Shaw wasn’t in this crew, he truly would think they were a bunch of lunatics.

Just as he spoke up, the director Jianjian exuberantly came forward.

"Hello Miss Green, I’m the director Jianjian of ’Decade Also A Ten Years’, your presence truly brightens our film crew."

Claire Green suddenly had a headache; could this drama she invested in really take off?

Charlotte Shaw always kept an eye on the girl’s expression and seeing this, thought it’s no good, and quickly pulled the director aside, whispering gently.

"You’ve done enough, don’t end up making things worse."

Upon hearing that.

Jianjian immediately returned to normal, awkwardly scratched his head, "Then Miss Green, let me show you around."

"No need, I’m here for Charlotte Shaw," Claire Green calmly declined.

Upon hearing that, Jianjian was slightly stunned, "Okay, you discuss your matters with Charlotte Shaw, we won’t interrupt."

After speaking, he took Harry Lewis and Xiao Zhu away.

"Miss Green, how about we find a place to sit?"

Claire Green gave a slight nod.

...

The two arrived at a café outside the film base.

Seeing this scene, Charlotte Shaw couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you remember the first time we met was also at a café?"

And the coincidental thing was it was in this very café.

Claire Green removed her mask, a slight smile on her lips, without making a sound.

She took the documents from her backpack and slowly pushed them forward.

"Take a look."

The girl’s voice was light yet carried a hint of irrefutability.

Charlotte Shaw froze for a moment, picked up the document and opened it, the words "King Regal Entertainment Agency Contract" came into view.

She was amazed as she glanced at the girl, Miss Green is with King Regal Entertainment, she never put King and Claire Green together.

Pushing down her doubts, she carefully reviewed the contract, after a while, she sighed in shock.

She had to admit, this was the best, most comprehensive contract she has seen so far.

She wasn’t a fool, since Miss Green showed her the contract, it meant King Regal wanted to sign her.

But.

"Miss Green, I do have a talent agency."

Even though the company wasn’t exactly kind to her.

Claire Green gently rubbed the cup in her hand, a slight curve on her lips.

"So what, as far as I know, the contract you signed with your agency can at best be considered average; not only is the pay small, but they don’t seem to value you like they do newcomers, and if I remember correctly, your contract is due to expire in these days."

With every sentence the girl said, Charlotte Shaw was increasingly startled; how did she know these things?

Regarding the contract, apart from the agent and company executives, outsiders simply did not know.

Everyone thought she was a top-tier actress with astronomical pay, but nobody knew what she actually received wasn’t much at all.

"Miss Green, may I boldly ask what your relationship with King Regal Entertainment is?"

Even though King Regal Entertainment only just emerged recently, its momentum has already surpassed many entertainment companies.

Online speculation about the background of King Regal’s CEO K is rampant, but the only thing people are sure about is that the forces behind King Regal Entertainment must not be underestimated.

As a result, many fans, envious of Edward Monroe’s fans, hoped their own idols would jump over there.

Thinking of this, Charlotte Shaw laughed internally; if King Regal Entertainment’s contracts were exposed, perhaps half the stars would choose to switch.

"Just helping out a friend," Claire Green replied nonchalantly.

Just a touch, and Charlotte Shaw immediately understood, so Miss Green and K are good friends, what a dream team.

"I’ll give you time to consider, think about what you really want."

Claire Green placed the untouched coffee on the table, crossing her hands casually, her tone plain as if she hadn’t come to lure people away.

Charlotte Shaw’s grip on the contract tightened then loosened, repeating the cycle.

After a while.

She softly tested, "May I take the contract back for careful consideration? And give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest."

Taking documents outside is the biggest taboo for any company, because once exposed, the impact could cause unrest to a company.

So she thought the girl wouldn’t agree, but she heard the answer.

"As you wish."

Claire Green spoke carelessly, not worried at all if she would leak the contract.

Charlotte Shaw didn’t expect her to be so trusting, her heart suddenly warmed, and she looked at the documents with determination in her eyes.

If Claire Green’s friends were involved, it might not be bad to switch.

...

"What, King Regal Entertainment wants to sign you?"

In Charlotte Shaw’s apartment, her close friend Vivian Cooper raised her voice in surprise after hearing what she said.

"Yes, I’m still thinking about it." Charlotte Shaw nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking.

A sharp jab to the forehead, as her best friend stared at her frustratedly.

"Are you missing a screw? What are you hesitating about such falling pie opportunity; do you know how many people now want to get into King Regal? Besides the obscure forces behind it, just K alone is enough for many to scramble."

Vivian Cooper paused, then continued, "You know your current shabby company better than I do, and know how questionable their operations are; look at your apartment, it’s not even as good as King Regal’s dormitory."

A couple of days ago, Edward Monroe’s agent posted a photo of King Regal Entertainment’s dormitory, quickly causing a stir on Weibo.

That so-called dormitory was nothing like other companies where several shared a room; instead, one artist had a three-bedroom, one living room space.

The most crucial thing was that this was in the Capital City where space is enormously expensive, a single artist with three-bedrooms, one living room, how generous must one be to afford this.

So after that day, producer K gained another title along with King Regal—loaded with money.

Charlotte Shaw’s body stiffened, hesitating, "But if I switch now, it will definitely bring negative impacts, and the company won’t easily let me leave."

The main reason is she didn’t want King Regal Entertainment to fall into turmoil right after signing.

"People go upward, water flows downward, it’s an immutable truth; what law says a contract expiring can’t allow a switch, you just overthink things." Vivian Cooper sighed.

Listening to it, Charlotte Shaw fell into deep thought, Vivian Cooper was right, with better options why should she refuse?

After figuring it out, a bright smile appeared on Charlotte Shaw’s face, "Thank you, Viv."

"It’s fine as long as you get it, don’t forget to take care of me when you’re rich." Vivian Cooper giggled and leaned closer for a snuggle.
