Chapter 627: Chapter 627 You Know How to Take Advantage
An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei, and Bai Xiaoya all turned their attention to Jiang Xu.
Waiting for him to give instructions.
At this moment, Jiang Xu walked onto the stage and picked up the contract to read it.
The person in charge of the organizers negotiated with Jiang Xu, saying, “Our contracts are without issue, and we are willing to offer our utmost sincerity in signing with the three of you.”
Jiang Xu said indifferently, “I own an entertainment company myself, so there’s no need for my girlfriend and the other two friends to sign with another firm.”
The person in charge laughed, “Mr. Jiang makes a good point, but the resources at your entertainment company are fixed.
If they go to these three, there will be fewer resources available for your other artists.”
Jiang Xu frowned, “Chu Youwei can sign, but my fiancée and Bai Xiaoya are out of the question.”
Although he had already arranged things with Mei Jiji in secret, the necessary formalities still had to be observed.
The person in charge was not willing to give up so easily.
He said, “I can make a promise right here in front of the live audience and the viewers online.
The contracts we offer are definitely the most generous, and we won’t force them to do anything they’re unwilling to do.
For example, accompanying others for drinks, singing, and the like.
In fact, for all appearances, commercials, film and TV collaborations, if they’re unwilling, they can simply decline.
These terms can all be written into the contract.”
“This…” Jiang Xu hesitated.
“Brother Xu,” An Nuonuo gently pulled on his sleeve, “I think these conditions are very good.”
Bai Xiaoya also nodded.
“Let me take a look at the contract first,” Jiang Xu said.
He picked up the contract and examined it carefully.
An Nuonuo’s contract was the best, with a base salary of one and a half billion without liability.
Chu Youwei’s was a base salary of one billion without liability.
And Bai Xiaoya’s was eighty million without liability.
Jiang Xu sneered internally, ‘He’ had really gone to great lengths for An Nuonuo.
Perhaps, he even wanted to sway Bai Xiaoya and Chu Youwei as well in the process.
There was nothing wrong with the contracts he reviewed.
But the act still had to be played out to the end.
Jiang Xu made a phone call, then said to the person in charge, “I’ve called the company’s lawyers over, let’s wait for their confirmation before proceeding.”
“Alright.”
Soon, the company’s lawyers arrived and scrutinized all three contracts in detail.
Afterward, they informed Jiang Xu that there were no problems.
“Fine,” Jiang Xu sighed, “Since all three of them want to sign, and the contract is indeed very sincere, let’s sign, but…”
Jiang Xu’s tone shifted, “The contract must specifically state that their activities are limited to within the country.
Under no circumstances will they work abroad.”
“This…” The person in charge felt this condition was a bit excessive.
But seeing the determination on Jiang Xu’s face, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
An Nuonuo felt that the terms were excessively generous and was somewhat embarrassed to sign the contract.
Jiang Xu could see what she was thinking.
He mused to himself, oh sister, if you knew the full story, you would probably be too scared to eat.
With the contracts signed, the battle for School Beauty came to a close.
“Wait!” Just at that moment, Jiang Xu took the microphone from An Nuonuo’s hand, calling out.
All eyes, as well as the cameras, were on him.
“Ahem,” Jiang Xu spoke in a deep voice, “This School Beauty Contest has indeed been a joy and meaningful for everyone.
But well, having School Beauties without School Handsomes would seem a bit incomplete, wouldn’t it?
Therefore, I’ve already prepared the inaugural ‘School Handsome Contest.’
Everyone just needs to search these words to enter the official website and register.”
“And the rewards are even more generous, with the first place winning 120 million, second place getting 90 million… all the way to the fifteenth place, which still gets a prize of 8 million.”
Human joys and sorrows are not always shared.
Male college students in the audience and in front of their televisions and computers were very excited to hear this.
However, the faces of the organizers turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Nice move, using my platform and my traffic to advertise your own competition.
You really know how to work the angles.
If it wasn’t Jiang Xu on stage, someone else would have been kicked off by now.
Now, all they could do was to hold their noses and swallow this loss.
After finishing, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo by the hand and left the stage.
Chu Youwei and Bai Xiaoya followed.
Bai Xiaoya clicked her tongue, “You really know how to play the game, you’re the ancestor of exploiting opportunities.”
An Nuonuo replied, “No, Brother Xu is using wisdom, meticulous planning—he’s the best.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Bai Xiaoya raised her hands, “In this world, your Brother Xu is the best.”
An Nuonuo held her head high, “That’s right.”
Bai Xiaoya sighed, taking Chu Youwei’s hand, “We should spend less time with those two in the future, or we’ll never stop getting dog food.”
Chu Youwei smiled shyly, not responding.
She thought it was quite nice.
As long as her sister was happy and content, she was satisfied too.
The competition ended successfully.
They got the traffic, the prize money, and Mr. Jiang had perfected another part of his plan for what came next.
With a grand gesture, he took everyone off to a revolving restaurant for a big meal.
Having just ordered their food at the restaurant, Chu Youwei let out an exclamation, “The prize money came so quickly, after taxes, I have 90 million.”
Bai Xiaoya checked her phone, “Mine’s here too, 50 million in prize money, 40 million left after taxes.”
Jiang Xu looked at An Nuonuo’s phone.
Hers was there as well, a neat 120 million.
The efficiency of the organizers was quite impressive.
Chu Youwei and Bai Xiaoya were undoubtedly the happiest.
At this point in their lives, their need for money was very great.
Jiang Xu’s phone vibrated, and he picked it up to look.
It was a notification for a transferred sum of money.
An Nuonuo had sent all of her prize money to him in one go.
Jiang Xu, “Why are you giving me all the money?”
An Nuonuo said matter-of-factly, “I don’t really have anything to spend it on, of course I’ll give it to you for your business.”
Jiang Xu felt a warm fuzziness inside.
If it wasn’t for the setting, he would definitely reward her intensely right on the spot.
“Wuwuwu.” Bai Xiaoya hugged An Nuonuo, rubbing her head against her, “Nuonuo, how can there be such a good girl like you in this world.
If I were a man, I would go bankrupt if I had to, just to win you over.”
An Nuonuo laughed naively, “That’s not okay, Sister Xiaoya, I belong to Brother Xu and no one else.”
Bai Xiaoya, “I don’t want to talk anymore.”
Even Chu Youwei couldn’t help but take a sip of water to dilute the sweetness in the air.
The meal was served.
Despite being teased continuously by Bai Xiaoya, An Nuonuo still prioritized peeling a lobster for Jiang Xu.
It had become a living habit for her.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu opened the official website of the ‘School Hunk Competition,’ to see how the registrations were going.
