Chapter 3855: Chapter 3843: There Must Be a Dual Contract

Following their gaze, Li Wei and Xu Qingqing turned back together, seeing Lin Yi and two unfamiliar men walk in from outside.

Upon seeing those two men, Li Wei frowned slightly.

He thought these two looked familiar but couldn’t recall where he had seen them before.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you’re all here."

With a teasing smile, Lin Yi approached Zhao Jing.

"Who are these two?"

"They’re Zhou Shen and Mao Yi’s agents, I brought them here for you. The rest is up to you to negotiate."

"Huh?!"

Lin Yi’s words left Zhao Jing dumbfounded.

"They’re Zhou Shen and Mao Yi’s agents? How did you get in contact with them?"

"Through my friends, we’ve pretty much negotiated, and managed to free up two days for recording. So we need to arrange things properly and not waste their time."

Zhao Jing’s heart raced, speechless for a moment.

"But we only have a budget of 5 million, how do we afford them?"

"We’ve negotiated in advance, 2.6 million per person, just slightly over budget, it should be fine."

Actually, 2.5 million per person was enough to seal the deal.

The number didn’t sound too good, so Lin Yi added an extra hundred thousand per person.

Though it went slightly over, it was no problem at all.

Zhao Jing and Chu Hao exchanged a look, their faces filled with utter shock.

They were dying to know how Lin Yi managed to negotiate it.

From their perspective, this price seemed downright impossible.

"There’s surely no issue with the price, but how did you pull it off?"

"I told you it’s a friendship price, we can offer them more in future projects, making up for it in the long run."

For a moment, Zhao Jing couldn’t find any words.

Zhou Shen and Mao Yi are top talents nowadays, their singing skills undeniable. Getting them at this price is like winning a lottery.

"Sure, no problem, let’s go inside to discuss the details."

Zhao Jing made a gesture to welcome them into her office.

Watching them leave, Xu Qingqing and Li Wei stood there utterly baffled.

"How is this possible? Only 5.2 million for the two of them?! Even for friendship pricing, this can’t be happening."

Li Wei stood in place, equally at a loss for words.

His thoughts were quite similar to Xu Qingqing’s.

"You two got here so quickly, I thought I’d have to wait a bit."

Wang Minji walked out of the elevator, greeting the elders from afar.

"What happened? Why do you look so pale?"

"We just ran into Zhao Jing."

"What’s the big deal about that? I don’t even consider her a competitor," Wang Minji scoffed.

"Their budget is only 13 million and that’s hardly enough to produce a decent show, don’t worry about it, it’s easy to outshine them."

"The problem is the situation has changed. They’ve managed to bring in Mao Yi and Zhou Shen. You’re aware of their caliber."

"What did you say?! They’ve got Mao Yi and Zhou Shen?"

Wang Minji stared in shock. "With only a 13 million budget, barely enough for one person, how could they possibly hire two!"

"At a friendship price of 2.6 million each, and reportedly freed up two days just for this. Now it’s a tough situation to handle."

Wang Minji’s face turned pale, unable to utter a word for a while.

At this point, he also wasn’t sure what to say, feeling it was absolutely unbelievable.

Though Xu Qingqing is a current top star, she has a significant flaw: her singing skills aren’t great.

Even in today’s environment, as long as there’s popularity, mediocre singing talent isn’t a big issue, but it depends on who you compare with.

Zhou Shen and Mao Yi, they have both popularity and skills, definitely all-rounders, and a guarantee for high ratings in music competitions.

As long as a program is backed by them, the ratings are never low.

Now they’ve successfully hired both, how can we possibly compete?

"Old Wang, this is a tough situation, you need to think of a solution."

"It’s absolutely impossible," Wang Minji said firmly.

"I’ve tried contacting the two before, their schedules were packed, impossible to hire them."

"But their agents came specifically to discuss this, so scheduling isn’t an issue."

"There’s definitely a hidden agreement!" Wang Minji stated confidently.

"I need to thoroughly investigate them."

"I agree, even if the relations are excellent, it’s unlikely 2.6 million would bring someone in," Li Wei said.

"You two go on with the rehearsal, leave this matter to me. If they’re pulling tricks in secret, I’ll ensure they pay the price!"

Meanwhile, Zhao Jing escorted Mao Yi and Zhou Shen’s agents into her office.

How to negotiate wasn’t Lin Yi’s concern.

"How’s the video editing going?"

"The more I edit, the angrier I get, and the more I feel this episode will be explosive, even reaching new heights," Zhao Yuhuan said.

"These people are incredibly infuriating. I’m grinding my teeth in anger."

"That’s exactly the effect we want."

After a brief chat, Lin Yi connected with the relevant departments.

Thanks to Chen Bingqiang acting as an intermediary, the conversation was open with no secrets on either side.

Lin Yi promptly presented his primary demands, and the other party agreed swiftly, assuring they could handle the matter anytime.

However, they were also cautious to avoid problems midway, fearing a situation where emotions run high causing someone to collapse in public, leading to overwhelming online backlash threatening their handling.

Lin Yi conveyed Ma Huaiyang’s ideas to the department, along with Lin Yi’s assurance that he would take full responsibility if anything went wrong, and Chen Bingqiang providing a guarantee, easing their concerns.

All that’s left was to wait.

The residential area’s notices had just been sent out, rushing things wouldn’t be appropriate. Waiting two or three days until every dog owner sees the notice before taking action was better.

Ring—Ring—

At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

"Hello Journalist, it’s Wu Xiaomei. Do you remember me?"

"Yes, I remember. What’s going on?"

"Thank you so much! We’ve raised donations, and the hospital helped us contact insurance, saving us a lot. We’ve calculated and won’t need to sell our house."

"That’s better otherwise you’d be homeless after selling."

"Absolutely, we’re incredibly grateful. We plan to take a bank loan soon to repay Feng Zhengxiang, avoiding bothering you."

"No need for a loan now, I’ll speak with Feng Zhengxiang, delaying a few days is fine. Prioritize the child’s treatment."
