Beast Taming Begins with Involuting Pets

When we returned to the hotel, Xu Yuantao and the agent lady came to greet us together.

Lin Manman naturally knew the purpose of their visit. She wanted to think for a moment. Regarding the contract with the virtual idol company, she felt that it would be more appropriate to let Xia Ming help negotiate it.

In this world, she is half legally illiterate. Since Xia Ming was given to her by her teacher, he must have some skills, so it would be right to give it to him.

"Hello, Teacher Xu, hello, Sister Su." The agent's full name is Su Xiaoyu. Thinking that she might have long-term cooperation with the other party in the future, Lin Manman couldn't help but smile a little sweetly.

After saying hello, she didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Sister Su, you see, I'm still a student and I don't know much about contracts. So, you can talk to my uncle first, and you can come up with a set of rules, and I'll just sign it."

Lin Manman pushed Xia Ming out, moved closer to him, and whispered, "Uncle Xia, if we talk about work, just say that I'm still a student and need to focus on my studies. If you need to cooperate with work, try to arrange it during your rest time."

Xia Ming agreed with a smile. His calm face was very suitable for the negotiation table.

After arranging everything here, Lin Manman smiled awkwardly at Xu Yuantao.

Before she saw the head teacher today, she had completely forgotten about the school matter.

"Teacher Xu, when did you come here?"

"Haha, I've been following your competition online. As soon as the news of your entry into the semi-finals came out yesterday, the principal asked me to bring the photography team over overnight." Xu Yuantao looked at this student he had taught for three years. Although he was indeed a bit lazy in the past, now it seems that he has great talent and will make a big splash if he doesn't make a name for himself.

Isn't it said that geniuses have some unique personalities? Maybe she is one of them.

Overnight? There's no need to rush, right? Lin Manman was a little flattered by the school's attention.

"The best result of our school's graduates in previous years was the top 1 in the Level 16 group. The principal believes that even if you were eliminated in the semi-finals, it would still be a very valuable experience, so he brought a professional photography team to record your competition process."

I see, this means she will be the next year's admissions ambassador!

"Also, I have good news for you. As soon as the result of your victory came out, I applied to the principal to give you another 50 yuan bonus. Just before you returned to the hotel, the principal had already approved it."

Lin Manman's eyes lit up, and then she said shyly, "If I can also get a place in the individual competition later, will there be any prize money?"

Xu Yuantao's smiling expression paused. Why did he take the initiative to do it?

"If... you can still win the individual competition, I can help you apply to the principal again." As for whether the principal would approve it or not, that was not something he could promise...

Lin Manman's attention was occupied by this unexpected surprise, and she didn't notice the hidden meaning of Xu Yuantao's words. She happily pulled the camera and prepared to start recording.

Seeing that Lin Manman's mood didn't change, Xu Yuantao also felt at ease and devoted himself to the interview.

The mouth that eats is soft, and the hand that takes is soft. Lin Manman praised the school for the one million yuan given by the school. She praised the school for everything that could be praised, and cleverly avoided the things that could not be praised.

The boy's teachable appearance made Xu Yuantao nod his head repeatedly with satisfaction, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear.

The interview lasted for more than an hour, and at the end, all of her spirit pets were recorded.

Lin Manman couldn't help but sigh that the school really focuses on cost-effectiveness when spending money, and every point that can be promoted is not left out.

Especially Amber. If the contract is signed successfully today, and Amber becomes a household name as a spiritual beast star in the future, the school will make a huge profit at a very low price!

I sighed, but after all, this is the school where I spent three years, so I still have feelings for it. It’s also good to help promote it, and the most important thing is… my future juniors will all go through three years of junior high school under her aura.

Thinking about it, it’s really a bit fun, hehe…

Xu Yuantao finished his conversation, but unexpectedly Su Xiaoyu and Xia Ming were still chatting.

Lin Manman listened for a long time. There were a lot of professional terms, and she only understood half of them.

In the end, he simply gave up and took the two of them to go with everyone else to the celebratory banquet prepared by Zhu Zibin, and then continued after the meal.

The team competition is over, and news about Lin Manman’s pet and strength has spread all over the Internet.

So when she ate, she didn't hide it anymore and set up a separate table for the spirit pets. They contributed the most to the competition, so how could they be left out of the celebration banquet?

Seeing Amber busy eating, Su Xiaoyu lost interest in her own rice, so she took out her camera and started taking photos of Amber herself. Lin Manman and the others tried to persuade her, but it was useless, so she just let her do what she wanted.

It’s a pity that Amber, who doesn’t know what will happen to her in the future, has left her dark history in Su Xiaoyu’s camera.

"Ms. Su, you should understand that the content you filmed cannot be played on public platforms before the contract is signed." Xia Ming waited until everyone finished their meal and stood up before coming to Su Xiaoyu who was surrounding Amber.

Su Xiaoyu could only sigh when she saw this difficult man coming over. She had been in the industry for many years and had discovered various idol models and voice actors, but she had never encountered such a difficult one.

"Mr. Xia, the concept of spirit animal idols is unprecedented in the entire industry. I am risking all my money to create an unprecedented new field. You can't let me give in too much, right?"

She had originally thought that a signing bonus of 30 or 40 million was enough to show her sincerity, but this man asked for 50 million. She wanted to sign a 10-year contract, so she had to give Lin Manman room to bargain, but when it came to him, he cut it down to three years.

"Miss Su, you are wrong. The reason you chose Amber as the spirit animal idol is because the mythical white tiger already has a large audience. So although spirit animal idols are unprecedented, the mythical white tiger has many supporters."

Xia Ming's expression was calm and his tone was light, but the content of his words pointed directly to the fact that Su Xiaoyu deliberately concealed.

"Ms. Su, you should know that there is only one Mythical White Tiger, but you are not the only agency."

Su Xiaoyu pressed her forehead. She had originally prepared a lot of rhetoric and specious clauses, but they were all prepared for Lin Manman.

Who knew that she would just give herself to this man like this, with all the little traps she had prepared clearly visible to him, and he knew his own advantages clearly and would not be easily led by her.

"Well, the company doesn't belong to me alone. I need to discuss this with my partners. Do you think it's okay?"

Xia Ming expressed his understanding. He had already started investigating the company since Lin Manman received the other party's contact information.

In addition to Su Xiaoyu, the company also has a female partner. The company is small and has a simple background. In Xia Ming's eyes, she is also a good partner.

After all, what Elder Meng meant was that he didn't want Lin Manman to be unnecessarily involved with any complicated forces...

Su Xiaoyu didn't let Xia Ming and Lin Manman wait too long and gave an answer quickly. After all, their advantage was too obvious.

With Xia Ming's nod, Lin Manman happily accepted the 50 million signing fee and hugged the confused Amber and kissed her fiercely.

"Baby Amber, from today on, you are a big star!"
