Inertia Dependence of Rebirth

The next morning, Duan Ling was woken up by a phone call from his secretary.Reaching out for the phone and putting it to his ear, the secretary's anxious voice came over.

"Boss, aren't you coming to the company today? I asked Pei He to sign a contract with our company, and Mr. Pei has arrived at 09:30, can you come over?"

Duan Ling was dizzy at first, but now he is fully awake.He sat up abruptly, and the blanket covering him slipped off.

He immediately responded to the secretary: "You first explain the terms and conditions to Pei He in detail, and ask him to wait a bit. I will be there in four or ten minutes."

Duan Ling stood up and stretched his stiff limbs, only to find that his wife was sitting on a chair by the dining table, flipping through a thick photo album.Sensing Duan Ling's movement, she raised her head.

"Wake up? Go wash up, I'll have someone prepare breakfast for you."

Duan Ling smiled and said no need to bother, "Auntie, I'm going out now, I really bothered you last night."

"Shall we go after breakfast?"

Duan Ling looked down at his watch, "No, it's too late. Auntie, I have to go."

In the end, Madam stuffed a thermos cup filled with hot cocoa into Duan Ling's hand.

Duan Ling didn't drive, and took a taxi back to the company. After being stuck in the city center for half an hour, it was almost eleven o'clock when he arrived at the company's reception room.Duan Ling said sorry as soon as he entered the door.

"Mr. Pei, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I got up late today and encountered traffic jams on the road. I was late for more than an hour. I'm very sorry."

Pei He stood up and shook hands with him. After waiting for an hour, he didn't feel impatient at all. His gentle appearance didn't seem to be annoyed or flattering. He just said politely: "It's okay, please sit down."

Duan Ling pulled back his chair, "Then let's talk about the contract."

The secretary understood and immediately handed over the arranged documents.

When Duan Ling was talking to Pei He, he observed this person carefully at the same time.Pei He dressed casually, even without makeup.Originally, male artists in the entertainment industry would be like female artists, always paying attention to their appearance, and some even cared more than women.Although Pei He is not very famous, he is indeed very low-key for a second-tier star.And during the conversation, Duan Ling found that Pei He had been very quiet, listening all the time, and only occasionally asked a few questions.

After talking for half an hour, Duan Ling had a good impression of him, but Pei He felt flattered and panicked.

Duan Ling handed him a pen, "If you have no doubts, then sign it, welcome to join us."

Pei He hesitated, "Mr. Duan, why...why do you consider me? For you, there are many artists to choose from, and I am ordinary in all aspects, so I am a little...uneasy."

Duan Ling smiled, "I like actors with your personality, dedicated and humble enough."

No wonder he can be named movie king in the future.

Pei He blushed a little, "Mr. Duan's words really upset me."

"How? Would you like to sign a contract?"

Pei He nodded, "Thanks to the great love, I really hope to join your company, but..." He hesitated to speak.

Looking at his expression, Duan Ling understood his concerns, and persuaded him: "You can tell me what you are worried about. Our company keeps the artist's information absolutely confidential. Moreover, once it becomes your Boss, I'm on your side."

Bae Hyuk cast him a grateful look.

Duan Ling dismissed the secretary again, leaving only the two of them in the reception room.

Duan Ling asked tentatively, "Is it because I have a sponsor that I dare not sign the contract?"

The term patron is an allusion in the entertainment industry, and it actually means the same thing as a patron, but it's not easy to say it out loud on many occasions.

Pei He nodded with a helpless expression, "You guessed right."

"Is your relationship very deep? If it's not that close, our company should come forward and negotiate with the other party, and it should be resolved."

Duan Ling has seen many artists in this situation, and naturally helped them solve a lot.Dealing with this kind of thing is no stranger to taboo.

"Actually, he and I...are not lovers, but he treats me...he is pretty good to me. I'm more afraid of him. You know, my previous family is a movie company, and the contract It expired last year, but I didn't renew it, but he let me stay there." Pei He smiled helplessly, "At that time, no other company wanted me, and I really had nowhere to go. As you can see , I stayed. Although I didn't renew the contract with Yingyi, I made a verbal promise with him. I guess, he probably wants to use this time to give me various benefits, or threaten and lure me to renew the contract, but... I do not want."

"It's quite common for you to do this." Duan Ling paused, then asked again after thinking about it, "Can you tell me the reason why you don't renew your contract with Yingyi? This way the company will be more confident in negotiating with them. However, if you If you don’t want to say it, forget it.”

Pei He had an embarrassed look on his face, and he avoided Duan Ling's gaze.

"What? Can't you say it?"

Pei He was silent.

"Don't worry, we will keep it secret and protect you."

Pei He frowned, gritted his teeth, and seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Seeing Pei He's reaction, Duan Ling could more or less guess something, and he continued to persuade: "You are a very sensible person, since you have chosen not to stay in Yingyi, there must be your reasons. Now, our company really wants You, for your talent, the company will do its best. So, you can treat us as friends, just tell us if you have any difficulties, and we will solve them together. "

Duan Ling pressed his fingertips lightly on the smooth and clean table, waiting patiently.Finally, Pei He finally said.

"Yingyi... Yingyi company is doing... matchmaking, it's that kind of business."

Pei He spoke these words hesitantly, and he omitted some indecent words, but Duan Ling, as an insider, understood his words immediately.

In this flashy entertainment industry, unspoken rules, accompanying wine, and nurturing, etc. have always been reviled but helpless criticisms.

Duan Ling said in a low voice: "Well, I see, don't worry, I will take care of it."

No matter how upset Pei He was, he could only do this, he nodded towards Duan Ling, "Thank you then."

"A verbal promise is not a contract, and it has no legal effect. It shouldn't be difficult to get that person to give up on you." Duan Ling thought for a moment with his chin propped up, and then asked, "Then how sure do you think you are of getting rid of him?"

Pei He thought for a while and replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Duan, I'm only 30.00% sure."

Duan Ling smiled at him, "Very well, I want you to win the 30.00% possibility of five, and leave the remaining 60.00% five to me."

Pei He was startled, and then smiled too.He understood, then nodded, "Okay, if Mr. Duan needs the inside information of Yingyi, just ask me, I will tell you everything I know." Pei He picked up a pen and quickly signed the contract Write down your name, then hand it to Duan Ling with both hands.

The signing of the contract went smoothly. After they left the reception room, Duan Ling ordered the secretary to take him through various handover procedures, and even sent a special car to pick him up and back.

Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief after completing an important item on his work schedule.He returned to his office, lay down on the sofa, and planned to take a nap.Duan Ling was very tired these days, especially last night, his nerves were always tense.Fortunately, the string in my mind was finally let go and pulled.

Last night, when he nestled in each other's arms and rested his head on the other's chest, he had already relaxed his heart.Later, in order to fall asleep, he carefully counted the other party's eyelashes by the dim light.In the end, he even fell into a deep sleep without using sleeping pills.Duan Ling used to rely almost entirely on drugs.For example, at this moment, he was obviously very tired and dizzy, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

He closed his eyes and thought nothing, and his consciousness was still extremely clear.

After tossing and turning a few times, Duan Ling finally had to get up, went to the bottom cabinet of the desk and found a bottle of sleeping pills. After checking that it hadn't expired, he swallowed several pills with warm water.Duan Ling lay back on the sofa again, and finally fell asleep half an hour later.

In the afternoon, the secretary called him up for a regular meeting. After listening to the work reports of various departments, Duan Ling was too tired to talk, so he adjourned the meeting early.When he returned to his office and turned on the computer, he found that Pei He had sent the email efficiently.

Duan Ling opened it.Inside the email were a lot of photos and videos, all of which were evidence of Yingyi's unspoken rules for artists.Duan Ling browsed through them one by one, and one of the photos of the reception caught his attention.

The photo was taken secretly to leave evidence of unspoken rules, so there are many people entering the picture, and the faces of the people are not very clear because the lighting is too dark.Duan Ling kept zooming in on the picture to identify it carefully.

He found a person inside, and that person seemed to be Shen Kuang whom he had just met a few days ago.
