dark fire

After dinner, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, and the group made an appointment to go to Zhong Yiran's room to play games. When they returned to the hotel, they met an unexpected person waiting for Ling Zhuo here. It was his manager Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing's face was cold and gloomy, Ling Zhuo asked her in surprise: "Sister Jing, why are you here?"

Zhang Jing's eyes fell on the other people behind him, and then looked at Liu Tao, the manager of their group, and said with a smile: "Of course some people don't want me to come, maybe they are guilty and dare not see me?"

Liu Tao frowned and didn't say anything. Zhang Jing turned around and walked to the elevator first. Her high-heeled shoes slammed on the marble floor.

Ling Zhuo was slightly embarrassed, subconsciously looked back at Liu Tao, Liu Tao only said: "Go up first."

I went upstairs to Ling Zhuo's room, Zhang Jing obviously came here to find fault, entered the room and slammed the door and fired at Liu Tao: "The endorsement of CL perfume, I have already helped Ling Zhuo to negotiate and sign the contract, how did it come from Ling Zhuo's personal representative suddenly became the group representative, does Manager Liu need to explain?"

Ling Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and the other four were also surprised. Liu Tao frowned and asked, "Have you talked to them too?"

Zhang Jing: "Why not?!"

Liu Tao: "It was the brand owner who took the initiative to contact me and asked about Ling Zhuo's endorsement. I didn't know that you had already discussed with them before. I am the manager of their entire group. Of course, I have to consider for the group. Just talk to the brand. The merchants talked about whether they could represent the entire group, and after seeing that the price they offered was still reasonable, it was almost settled."

Zhang Jing clapped her hands and was so angry: "Brother Liu's ability to open his eyes and tell lies is really admirable. Obviously you knew that I was talking about this endorsement for Ling Zhuo, and you also went there under the guise of Ling Zhuo's manager." Contact them and cut off Ling Zhuo's personal endorsement as the endorsement of the whole group at a low price, now who is lying here?!"

Being questioned so mercilessly by Zhang Jing in public, Liu Tao also darkened his face: "I don't need to lie to you, it was indeed they who contacted me on their own initiative, believe it or not."

Zhang Jingba raised his voice: "You didn't lie to me, you mean the brand dealers lied to me? Is it necessary for them to lie to me? I have experienced many things where the resources I got were cut off by others. I have never seen such thick skin as you Yes, if the brand owners take the initiative to contact you, it is only possible that they regretted it and wanted to lower the price to use Ling Zhuo to find you, so why didn’t they go to you earlier? The fact is that people don’t even know how many agents Ling Zhuo has. People, if they hadn’t called me today to make an appointment to sign a contract, and told me that they would arrange commercial shooting in their schedule, I wouldn’t have known that a good generation had turned into a whole group! You are a brand Shang will act for me?!"

Zhang Jing was already going crazy. Today, she took another female artist under her hand to participate in an event in a big city nearby. When she suddenly found out about this, she drove over to confront Liu Tao face to face, but she didn't expect this manager Liu People still dare not admit it.

Ling Zhuo hesitated and said, "Brother Liu, Sister Jing, is there some misunderstanding about this..."

Zhang Jing: "Is there any misunderstanding?! Let me ask you, have you ever told these people about the endorsement of CL perfume?!"

Ling Zhuo clenched his fist hard.

Zhong Yiran on the side took the initiative to answer for him: "He mentioned it to me once, but I didn't tell anyone else."

Zhang Jing sneered: "If you say there is no, then there is no? You never mentioned how such a coincidence, after Ling Zhuo told you, this endorsement fell on you?"

Zhong Yiran looked embarrassed, but still insisted: "I haven't told anyone."

Ling Zhuo: "Sister Jing, I believe in the captain, there must be some misunderstanding here."

"Is there any misunderstanding?" Zhang Jing turned her gun to Liu Tao again, "Okay, since you all insist that I misunderstood you and wronged you, then Manager Liu might as well make a phone call and confront him. They, or they are looking for you, do you dare?"

Everyone looked at Liu Tao, and Liu Tao's face was livid.

In fact, everyone knows that he is very embarrassed about this matter. No matter what he said is true or not, it is very offensive to call and confront the brand owner. After all, they will cooperate in the future.

If it's really a brand owner who regrets deliberately lowering the price and deliberately engages in such a small trick, it is impossible for people to recognize it.

Liu Tao: "You can think about it whatever you want. This kind of thing depends on its own ability. What's the point of you coming to scold me so angrily? After all, it's still the group representative, and Ling Zhuo has a part in it."

Zhang Jing: "Sorry, I'm here to remind you that Ling Zhuo's business appointment is with me, and you signed the endorsement in the name of the group. I don't recognize it, and I won't let him go."

Ling Zhuo quickly smoothed things over: "I used to be the group representative too..."

Zhang Jing interrupted him sharply: "The past is the past, and it is better to follow the rules in the future!"

This is going to completely tear the skin off.

Ling Zhuo opened his mouth, looked at Zhang Jing, then looked at Liu Tao, the words he wanted to say reached his mouth, and finally swallowed them back into his stomach.

Ten minutes later, only Ling Zhuo and Zhang Jing were left in the room. Ling Zhuo lowered his head in silence for a while, and said, "Sister Jing, I trust the captain."

Zhang Jing raised her eyebrows: "Then you don't believe me?"

Ling Zhuo: "No, I don't know if Brother Liu's words are true or not. I don't comment, but I trust the captain."

Zhang Jing was angry: "What's the use of you believing him? Even if this matter has nothing to do with him, do you think there will be fewer similar things in the future? I told you that it is meaningless for you to stay in this group, and your fans are calling for it I want you to come out, I don't know what you are obsessed with, you like singing and dancing, you can also release a solo album, why do you have to hang yourself in the group?

When you treat others with all your heart and soul, have you ever thought about whether they really want to see you walking in the front all the time?Which of them has no personal resources now?But will they be as stupid as you to come up with it before it's fully finalized?I know you want to say that you have a good relationship with Zhong Yiran, he won't do such a despicable thing, but maybe he has no intentions, others have intentions, and someone overheard his slip of the tongue? "

Ling Zhuo wanted to refute, but for the first time, he found that he couldn't find anything to refute.

After a while, he said with difficulty: "...I still have one more year of contract with the group, at least, at least until after next year's concert tour, we have agreed."

This is an agreement between him and others, and it is also an agreement between him and Zhong Yiran.

At the earliest time, he was not obsessed with doing this job. He was still a high school student when he joined the company, and everything was just a coincidence.

At the beginning, there were a lot of trainees in the company, but the company didn’t pay much attention to them, and most of them quit. In the most difficult time, only he, Zhong Yiran, and the other three people gritted their teeth and survived. They danced together in the dance studio. Repeating the same movement over and over again, when you are too tired to lie on the ground and can’t move, you will also imagine that one day in the future, you will be very popular, hold a tour concert with thousands of people, dance under the brightest spotlight, and countless people will cheer for them , that was the only thought that inspired them to persevere when they could not see hope and future.

But now, those things that were once out of reach are about to become a reality, and many things have begun to deteriorate, even though Ling Zhuo is unwilling to admit it.

Zhang Jing saw that he was uncomfortable, and didn't want to say anything more. She just reminded him: "You weigh yourself, think about it, I can't force you, and this endorsement is gone. Don't go on behalf of the group." , I’m still talking to you about another competing brand, so don’t tell anyone else.”

Ling Zhuo: "Another one?"

Zhang Jing: "Well, T&G."

Zhang Jing didn't go into details. On the way here, she happened to get in touch with T&G's marketing planner. The other party was also interested in Ling Zhuo and had already made an appointment with her to sit down and talk in detail. Asking the crime, on the one hand, I really can't swallow this breath, on the other hand, it is for Ling Zhuo to see, to wake him up.

As for losing the endorsement, there are better things to come anyway.

Ling Zhuo hesitated and asked: "Brother Liu signed CL perfume in the name of the group. If I don't go, will the brand owner be unhappy, and it will not end well..."

Zhang Jing said angrily: "Are you still thinking about him now? He didn't say that everyone depends on his own ability. He has no right to sign the business for you. Let him deal with the aftermath by himself!"

After Zhang Jing left, Ling Zhuo was stunned for a while, and Zhong Yiran sent a WeChat message: "Sorry, I was not in the group before, and I just asked them to know that Brother Liu did tell them to sign this perfume a few days ago about it, but they don’t know that you contacted the brand owner first, Brother Liu, he still said that it was indeed the brand owner who took the initiative to contact him.”

Ling Zhuo slowly replied: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you, but if Sister Jing doesn't let me pick up this group representative, will it affect you?"

Zhong Yiran: "Don't worry about this, Brother Liu will take care of it."

Zhong Yiran sent another message: "Ling Zhuo, do you really believe me?"

Ling Zhuo: "Believe me, if I don't believe anyone, I won't believe you."

Zhong Yiran: "Thank you."

Ling Zhuo let out a sigh of relief, finally feeling a little better in his heart.

Zhong Yiran put down his phone, and said to the other three people: "Brother Liu is not here, and Ling Zhuo is not here, so I'll just say it straight, since Brother Liu hasn't signed the contract yet, I think it's better to be with Brother Liu for this endorsement." Forget it, I believe Brother Liu, this matter is most likely caused by the brand’s temporary repentance and wanting to lower the price, and it’s hard to explain to Ling Zhuo’s manager, so it’s deliberately done. We are all teammates, and Ling Zhuo’s side has already negotiated. Now, it’s not good for us to intervene like this, what do you think?”

The three people in front of them had different expressions, and Qi Liangli was the first to say: "I agree, let's forget it, so as not to make Brother Zhuo unhappy and embarrass everyone."

The other two didn't make a sound, and after waiting for a while, Zhong Yiran asked them: "What do you say?"

Zhang Xun looked at Deng Lanluo, and Deng Lanluo said: "CL is a big brand, and the title given is also generous. It's a rare opportunity. I don't really want to give up. Since Brother Liu didn't intend to do this, I want to Ling Zhuo him." I can also understand."

Zhang Xun hesitated: "I don't really think about it..."

Qi Liangli wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally gave up angrily.

Zhong Yiran frowned and said, "Without Ling Zhuo as the group representative, the brand might not use us anymore, maybe it will end up being dirty in the end."

Deng Lanluo insisted: "You have to try."

Zhong Yiran looked at him, Deng Lanluo looked calm, but showed no intention of giving in.

In the next room to Ling Zhuo, Lu Chixie was resting on the sofa and carelessly dialing on his cell phone. Xiaoqian came in and said, "Ms. Gang Ling's female manager has also left, and T&G should have contacted her."

"What's more, Haitian Entertainment seems to have some problems with its capital chain recently. It seems that it wants to introduce new shareholders from outside."

"Then let someone go and get in touch with you." Lu Chixie ordered casually.

Dazzlingly seeing the fan comments on Weibo supporting Ling Zhuo's solo flight, he quickly gave a thumbs up.
