Xia Wei Liang's emotional intelligence now, compared to her previous life, was a qualitative leap.
She had suffered hardship before, so how could she fall into the same trap twice?
Although the reporters didn't get the answers they wanted, they left satisfied.
It could be said that anything related to the name "Xia Wei Liang" was equivalent to pre-booking a trending topic.
"Niang Niang, thank you!"
"Sister Wei Liang, see you later!"
After the interviews, everyone had been interviewed about two or three times. As they left, the reporters greeted her amicably.
Xia Wei Liang stood by the roadside waving to them. "Drive slowly when you go back, and be sure to follow traffic rules!"
An interview vehicle stopped in front of her, and enthusiastically asked, "Niang Niang, where are you going? Do you want a ride?"
"No, no, I'll ride my two-wheel drive convertible share bike!"
The other party gave her a thumbs up. "When it comes to endorsements, I only admire our Niang Niang!"
"You're too kind."
After seeing off all the reporters, Xia Wei Liang turned and thanked Xiao Liu, then crossed the road to scan a "Mo Di" shared bicycle.
Listening to her recorded voice, she felt quite magical, having an illusion of dominating the cycling world.
Just as she mounted it, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, her heart felt like a small pebble had been thrown into it, causing ripples.
"Did the reporters give you a hard time? Which ones? Did you get their names?"
On the other end, the voice was a bit noisy, likely from a film set, but the film emperor's voice came through the receiver clearly.
It was hard to imagine such a third-grade question coming from the film emperor.
Xia Wei Liang smiled confidently. "Give me a hard time? Absolutely not! Teacher Xiao, I'm telling you, the reporters were very cooperative. They all lined up to accept... uh, no, to interview me!"
While saying this, she sighed, "The overall quality of the press corps has improved, and I'm very gratified."
The voice on the other end chuckled lightly. "Mm, that's good."
"But how did Teacher Xiao know I had reporters here?"
"...Niang Niang is a hot commodity now, your popularity is almost catching up to mine. Even a casual interview is live-streamed by someone. It seems even I will have to ride your coattails in the future."
"Oh my~ Look at what you're saying, oh hehe... not at all... wahaha..."
Xia Wei Liang genuinely wanted to keep a low profile, but her talent wouldn't allow it!
"What are you doing?" he asked again.
"Oh, just riding my bike around."
"Alone?"
Sensing his disapproval, Xia Wei Liang quickly said, "As a spokesperson, I have to have professional ethics. I come out and wander around from time to time."
This reason was perfect.
"An hour from now, send me your location."
"Teacher Xiao, are you..."
Her constant address of him as "Teacher Xiao" made someone's face tighten.
"Xia Wei Liang, if I hear you call me that again, I'll go public!"
"..."
Go public?
Xia Wei Liang immediately realized what he meant.
She quickly said, "Don't do that! Xiao Lao... Brother Yi, adults can't do such foolish things!"
Who does things like this!
Threatening people with going public whenever they want!
Someone on the other end called for filming to start, and Xiao Yi didn't dwell on the matter further, only saying, "Don't worry about these recent troubles, I'll handle them."
With that, he hung up.
Xia Wei Liang didn't really pay much attention to the troubles. In her previous life, she had learned a valuable lesson: being too sensitive was not suitable for this industry.
She was so much better!
A stainless steel strong heart!
Riding her bike, she leisurely cycled to the headquarters of the Ye Shi platform.
Because "Courage" was a huge hit, a program that was once obscure had suddenly become a coveted item. The platform had revised its contract, and Xia Wei Liang was the first to be signed.
General Manager Yang, the platform's main producer, personally came forward to negotiate the contract, a treatment usually reserved for top stars, showing immense respect to Xia Wei Liang.
It was originally scheduled at a private high-end club, but Xia Wei Liang suggested meeting at the platform's headquarters.
Xia Wei Liang had heard about this big producer from Ye Shi; he was known for his fondness for beautiful women and, if she recalled correctly from her past life, had been involved in a scandal of forcing an intern to have an abortion.
Brother Yuan was still filming "Re-embrace" in An County, and because of the recent flood of online trolls, Nuomi had been busy going to the company and contacting fans. Xia Wei Liang, feeling for her, didn't have her accompany her.
After a phone call with Ji Huan, she had a temporary issue and would arrive later.
Therefore, to be cautious, Xia Wei Liang had directly arranged to meet at the platform headquarters. Being prudent was always the right move.
Upon being invited into Manager Yang's office, he greeted her with extreme enthusiasm, shaking her hand. "I've heard of Miss Xia for a long time and have always wanted to meet the beauty. Today, my wish is finally granted!"
Manager Yang appeared refined, but his words were greasy, clearly indicating he was a seasoned player of the game.
Xia Wei Liang greeted him politely, quickly withdrew her hand, and got straight to the point. "I'd like to understand the contract terms."
"No rush, no rush, let's have something to drink and chat slowly."
Xia Wei Liang frowned slightly upon hearing this.
One of the survival rules in the entertainment industry was not to casually accept drinks from others.
She smiled, then rummaged through her bag and pulled out a box of "Zi Le Guo." "Manager Yang, perhaps you don't know me well. I'm not accustomed to drinking first, I prefer to eat first."
Saying this, she turned and looked around. "Uh, is there any hot water? Get me some!"
Manager Yang's cheek twitched slightly. "Heh... heh... I know Miss Xia is the spokesperson for Zi Le Guo. To be able to carry your endorsement product with you at all times, Miss Xia's professionalism is truly admirable."
He turned stiffly, opened the door, and called for a secretary to bring hot water.
"Manager Yang, I'm sorry, I only brought this one box..."
"It's... it's fine, Miss Xia, please take your time."
Manager Yang retreated to his desk, his face darkening as he watched her place her phone with a countdown timer next to the Zi Le Guo, waiting expectantly.
Suddenly, all the intimacy was gone.
Before long, when the secretary brought in coffee again, she paused, almost unable to stifle a laugh.
In the office, Xia Wei Liang was holding the Zi Le Guo, loudly reading out the contract terms item by item: "...The Party of the First Part shall be responsible for handling the relevant procedures and fees for the Party of the Second Part with the relevant units, ensuring the legality of the Party of the Second Part's performances..."
Across from her, Manager Yang's face was dark, his expression screaming "She's a weirdo, she's a weirdo, she's a weirdo."
Xia Wei Liang then slurped another mouthful and continued reading.
Manager Yang couldn't stand it any longer. He asked the secretary to stay and accompany her, and he found an excuse to leave.
Only then did Xia Wei Liang slowly put down the Zi Le Guo and deliberately take out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Hmph, trying to outsmart Dad?
You're too green!
The secretary, suppressing a smile, gave her a silent thumbs-up.
The secretary was also a beautiful woman; how could she not know Manager Yang's character?
Having to face his harassment every day was extremely bothersome!
Seeing Xia Wei Liang deal with him like this was incredibly satisfying!
Xia Wei Liang didn't show false modesty and returned the gesture with clasped hands.
After Manager Yang returned, Ji Huan also arrived, and the three of them promptly signed the contract. Su Dan Novel Network.
After coming out, Ji Huan curiously asked, "Why does Manager Yang have such a sour face?"
Xia Wei Liang thought for a moment. "Perhaps he doesn't like spicy flavors."
