3.3 – Itching to kneel at his feet

Xue Ling only went back upstairs after talking to the old man. The two suitcases were still untouched, and the only proof that this was where he was staying was the slight indentation on the bed. Bai Hao glanced around again after he entered, feeling oddly dissatisfied.

However, he suppressed this inexplicable discomfort, casually pulled over a chair and sat down, indicating that Xue Ling should follow suit. It appeared that his elder brother did not regard this place as someone else's territory at all. "It's fine if you want to enter the entertainment industry, but there are some things we have to properly discuss."

Xue Ling pouted, thinking in his heart that it was no wonder he promised so quickly before – there were still hidden traps waiting for him. He took the papers from Bai Hao's hand and looked through them with some astonishment. "These are?"

"These are several contracts for artists signing with White Light Entertainment." Bai Hao directly brought out several versions of the contract. "Which one do you want?"

Xue Ling didn't even know what to say about this elder brother anymore. Putting several contracts in front of him... He wasn't an idiot; of course he would pick the best one. So he did not hesitate to say, "Platinum-level contract."

Bai Hao's expression showed that this had been expected. He looked down and laughed: "You have a lion's appetite. This type of contract is signed by film emperors after proving their worth."

Xue Ling frowned, "How does elder brother know that I won't be a film emperor?"

Bai Hao looked at him without speaking.

Xue Ling also knew that based on the original owner's setting limitations he should not have any acting ability, and so he pressed his lips together and changed tactics. "Elder brother, look~ since the contract is within the family, wouldn't you still have to give me any profits that went to company? Since it'll come to me anyway, it's better not to have the money be transferred back and forth, it's so troublesome that way. You also know that I still need investment for my film. I haven't saved enough money over the years, and I'll need to get sponsorships. I'll really go hungry if I don't earn more."

Bai Hao looked at him with amusement. Who talked like this? What kind of argument is 'since it'll go to him anyway, so it's better to save time and transfer procedures'? "Are you really not planning to just amuse yourself as an amateur?"

"With heaven and earth as witnesses, when did I ever amuse myself with these kinds of things!" Xue Ling stared at the other party unhappily, as though disapproving of being talked about that way.

Bai Hao looked him over from top to bottom, then from his feet back up to his head several times, and it was not known what he was thinking. "Then you have to promise me not to cause trouble, not to take risks, and not to do any of those hideously messy things."

"I promise!" Xue Ling raised his hand and swore without even having to think about it.

Only for Bai Hao to pull his hand back down. "Don't be happy so soon. Your film still needs investment. Where are you going to get sponsorships?"

Xue Ling did in fact know someone who would unhesitatingly throw money at him, but he did not want to have any close connection with that scum gong; he was unwilling to even have him as an investment associate. His eyes darted around and finally fell on the man sitting in front of him.
