Chapter 57

After thinking for a moment, Nick Arthur said to Yu Quan, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world:

“Of course, it’s the most favorable option available. After all, it’s your brother’s wife. You should at least show some consideration, no?”

Yu Quan stared at Nick Arthur with a completely indifferent expression, as if she had just met him for the first time that day.

“Hey, that’s really something! You cold-hearted ice cube has actually learned this trick too!” Yu Quan joked, not caring at all. With a wave of his hand, he signed a Class A contract with Simone Milton.

“Alright, it’s a Class A contract with very flexible terms. We’ll split the profits 80-20. Here are all the details; you can take a look yourself!”

Placing the Class A treaty in front of Nick Arthur, Yu Quan ordered someone to go over the terms.

Nick Arthur, who was being teased like this by Yu Quan, blushed slightly.

After all, it’s his first time doing something like this, so he still feels embarrassed.

But then again, despite the apologies, what needs to be fought for Simone Milton’s sake must still be fought for.

After carefully reviewing the contract, Nick Arthur pointed out several clauses and requested that they be revised again.

“I don’t think these terms are reasonable, so…” Nick Arthur said to Yu Quan with a stern expression on his face.

“Not reasonable? Seriously? You should at least consider my feelings as your brother! If doing business was like you do, then what’s the point of making any money at all?” Yu Quan wouldn’t budge.

He believes that these provisions must not be changed under any circumstances.

Just kidding. Although his relationship with Nick Arthur is as close as that between brothers, company matters must never be handled out of personal favoritism.

Moreover, if other people find out about this, it will surely be exploited for political purposes.

Yu Quan didn’t feel that his position was particularly secure.

“For that deal in the north part of the city, I can give you a 2% profit share.” Nick Arthur spoke calmly, stating his terms.

And this simple sentence involves amounts of money and profits that are measured in tens of millions.

Even Yu Quan couldn’t help but be shocked by Nick Arthur’s sheer wealth and power.

“Alright, I’m really scared of you now. You’re even willing to make such conditions. You really care about her a lot!” Yu Quan gave a thumbs-up.

He finally realized just how much Nick Arthur was into romance.

What’s the big deal about a few terms? For the sake of getting a 2% share from that deal in Chengbei, changing a few terms is a piece of cake.

Isn’t it just about promoting people? Promoting people is their specialty!

Hearing Yu Quan’s feedback, Nick Arthur thought for a moment before making a slightly hesitant request of Yu Quan:

“But please don’t tell Simone about this. I don’t want her to think that she’s won your favor because of my connections.”

Nick Arthur is so overly cautious that it’s hard not to roll one’s eyes at him.

He really wanted to shout at Nick Arthur: “Aren’t you just trying to get me to do your bidding? Was it really necessary to go through all that trouble?”

However, Nick Arthur said: “Heh, really?”

After much persuasion, Yu Quan was finally convinced. Nick Arthur quickly left Fan Ying Entertainment and called Simone Milton to share the good news with her.

Simona Milton, who was on the other end, was extremely excited to hear this good news.

Although she knew that Nick Arthur was extremely capable, she never expected him to be able to handle things so quickly.

Since the intentions of Fan Ying Entertainment have been clarified, the next step is to deal with the company where she and Georgia currently work.

They want to leave, and they must do so in a proper and honorable manner. Under no circumstances should the current company be allowed to tarnish their reputation.

And on this point, Assistant Hobson, who is currently working hard to gather information, also has a lot to say.

Although at first, she was assigned to figure out who the real culprit behind the investor-related incidents was, even when Nick Arthur assigned her new tasks along the way, Assistant Hobson handled them excellently.

She not only uncovered all the dirty dealings going on beneath the surface of the company where Simone Milton worked.

She even found evidence that could bring down that executive.

After all, Nick Arthur never forgot that if it weren’t for this executive’s persistent insistence, Simone Milton would never have gone to the Glorious Club alone.

It’s absolutely impossible to say that this thing doesn’t know anything at all.

After all the evidence was gathered, Nick Arthur began to expose the company’s secrets, one by one.

The PR teams of these entertainment companies were panicked when they saw so many negative reports about their companies appearing online suddenly. They immediately reported the situation to their executives.

However, the higher-ups have a very one-sided view of this matter.

They believe that public opinion on the internet simply cannot shake their foundation.

Especially after they saw those leaked embarrassing details, they felt even more disdainful.

Sure enough, it’s just a light drizzle after all.

However, they didn’t realize that this light drizzle was just the beginning.

By the time the main course was served, public opinion online had already become completely chaotic, and it would be impossible to reverse it easily.

And the online public opinion reached a boiling point when Simone Milton, who had a bright future ahead of her, suddenly posted a Weibo post criticizing the company’s various failures to act.

There was even a claim that the company was involved in prostitution. Simone Milton was threatened with being sidelined if she refused to comply.

This really shocked everyone who was just watching the situation.

Although such allegations had surfaced even before Simone Milton came forward, everyone was still surprised when Simone Milton actually accused them.

And those who tried to turn the situation around turned their attention directly at Simone Milton.

The employees said that Simone Milton’s decision to leave the company at such a difficult time was utterly ungrateful.

Such remarks weren’t even fully formed before they were blasted by other netizens who couldn’t stand them.

[Guagua’s rant: I can’t believe it! Artists are treated so unfairly, and yet you still think Simone Milton should stick around with your company. How disgusting!]

[Miss Mi: It’s absolutely disgusting. Are you all weirdo idiots? Could it be that you’re paid shill workers hired by some company to spout nonsense everywhere?]

[Fox Warning: I’m so fed up with this. Don’t you feel any remorse when saying these things? Is it really satisfying to make money at someone else’s expense?]

Such just remarks instantly scattered those online trolls who hadn’t yet gained any momentum.

And Simone Milton, seeing that this was such a favorable opportunity, naturally decided to terminate her contract with the company, even if it meant incurring significant financial costs.

The company’s executives were furious at Simone Milton’s insistence on breaking the contract, even if it meant paying double the penalty.

Even the boss personally stepped in to try to persuade Simone Milton from acting on impulse.

But unfortunately, the boss never met Simone Milton at all. All he saw was the high-priced lawyer that Nick Arthur had hired for Simone Milton.

In the end, despite being very reluctant to do so, the company agreed to terminate the contract peacefully.

Afterwards, the company’s chairman naturally vented all his anger on those who strongly advocated having Simone Milton meet with the executives of investors like the “Fat Man”.

If it weren’t for this executive acting on his own, they wouldn’t have given up on such a money-making opportunity.

Just kidding. Although Simone Milton’s popularity isn’t as high as it was before, she’s still one of the few talents the company can really rely on.

As a result, these few star employees who could really make a difference left their jobs due to poor decisions by the company’s executives. It’s no wonder the chairman is upset.

However, none of these matters have much to do with Simone Milton, who successfully switched jobs to Fan Ying Entertainment.

In fact, Simone Milton’s reputation wasn’t affected in any way by her switch to Fan Ying Entertainment.

In fact, her fearless attitude toward those in power online has won her many more followers.

After signing a Class A contract with extremely lenient terms with the person in charge of Fan Ying Entertainment, Simone Milton and Georgia even wondered if they had fallen victim to fraud.

After all, no matter how popular Simone Milton might be nowadays, it’s unlikely that she’d get such favorable contract terms right from the start. This made Simone Milton feel a bit uneasy.

Unfortunately, the people I contacted couldn’t explain anything clearly. They just said it was a decision made by the higher-ups, with the goal of getting Simone Milton to sign the contract as soon as possible.

After being cautious and consulting with professionals, and even asking Nick Arthur for his opinion, Simone Milton was finally convinced that there were no hidden pitfalls in this contract.

It wasn’t until this point that Simone Milton finally agreed to sign the contract.

By this point in the situation, especially after confirming that the person in charge of the handover wasn’t being impersonated, Simone Milton had a pretty good idea that Nick Arthur must have played a significant role in all this.

It was thanks to Nick Arthur’s persistent efforts that she was able to get such a favorable contract. This really touched Simone Milton deeply.

After signing the contract, Fan Ying Entertainment also arranged for Simone Milton to live in a villa with greater privacy.

The company hopes that Simone Milton will move in as soon as possible. If she continues to stay at her current residence, there’s a high chance problems will arise.

Regarding this, Simone Milton didn’t have any objections at all. Besides, the company’s arrangements made sense, so she certainly wouldn’t argue against them.

Soon, Simone Milton moved into her new villa with Martha. This neighborhood was home to many famous celebrities and wealthy people.

The best part is that there’s a kindergarten nearby, and both elementary and middle schools are also quite close by.

So after much consideration, Simone Milton decided to transfer Martha to this kindergarten after all.

By then, Martha will be able to directly progress from this kindergarten to the elementary school here, and even to middle and high school. It will be very convenient.

However, this also means that the costs associated with Simone Milton’s kindergarten have increased. After all, a kindergarten located in such a prestigious residential area will inevitably be quite expensive.

Most importantly, the privacy level is excellent, and the security measures are also very thorough. In short, it takes everything into consideration, making it the ideal choice for parents looking for peace of mind.

Simona Milton, who has moved into this little villa, probably has only one regret: with the change of location, it might be less convenient to meet with Juliet Milton or Nick Arthur.

But soon, she had no time to worry about those things anymore. She received a call from her agent, who had been assigned to her on a temporary basis.

The temporary agent said that he would come today to discuss Simone Milton’s future career path with her.

After dealing with all the trivial matters at hand, Simone Milton chose an appropriate time to meet with her temporary agent upon hearing these words.

Where have Georgia and Marian gone? They’ve signed with Sail Shadow Entertainment now, but they’re not just standing around doing nothing.

Given their qualifications, they’re actually not qualified to be agents and assistants at Fan Ying Entertainment.

To make up for this deficiency in qualifications, Fan Ying Entertainment’s plan is to have the two individuals undergo some professional training.

To ensure that both individuals can get familiarized as quickly as possible with the atmosphere, style, and pace at Fan Ying Entertainment.

In short, it can also be considered a form of further education.

If, after the necessary improvements, Marian and Georgia still fail to meet the standards set by Fan Ying Entertainment, then Fan Ying Entertainment will mercilessly kick them out.

This point was also clearly stated in advance during the contract signing process.

After all, Nick Arthur was there mainly for Simone Milton. Marian and Georgia were just added on top of that. Naturally, they couldn’t compare to Simone Milton at all.

The topic’s getting a bit off track.

Now, back to Simone Milton.

After deciding on the time to meet with her temporary agent, Simone Milton immediately perked up, ready to meet her new agent.

At 2:30 p.m., Simone Milton’s temporary agent drove to her villa.

Simona Milton, who had been waiting for a long time, welcomed them in.

This neatly dressed agent with chestnut hair tied back immediately got to the point as soon as she entered.

She took out several information packets she had prepared in advance and showed them to Simone Milton.

Moreover, she also explained in detail what information was contained in each of those information bags.

“…Personally, I really appreciate your choice of this personality trait! I’ve read all your information, and I think your straightforward personality is very appealing right now. In fact, we could do more variety shows so that people can see how reliable you are.”

This temporary broker analyzed things very thoroughly. It’s clear that he’d put in a lot of effort beforehand.

Yet these were not the words Simone Milton wanted to hear.

After reading all the materials, she gently pushed them aside.

“You make a good point, but I don’t want to be confined by these personas. Or, rather, I don’t want to rely solely on these personas to land variety shows and maintain my image. That’s not what I want.” Simone Milton sighed helplessly, expressing her thoughts to her temporary agent.

Such blunt words certainly didn’t make the temporary agent look happy. It was as if all her efforts had been rejected by Simone Milton. How could she possibly feel good about that?

The temporary agent immediately criticized Simone Milton: “But in your current state, you won’t be able to make much money at all! You might even end up wasting your efforts. The popularity you currently have isn’t a wise choice at all.”

Is entering the entertainment industry just for the sake of pursuing an acting dream?

Such words can only deceive those inexperienced newcomers.

Everyone in this circle loves fame, power, and wealth.

In today’s environment, putting in all that effort to improve acting skills simply won’t help you make money. What really matters is converting your popularity into real earnings.

The temporary agent never expected that Simone Milton could be so naive.

“I certainly know my choices weren’t wise, but I have no regrets… As for the path ahead, my real agent will take care of that for me,” said Simone Milton seriously.
