Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 541 - 536: S-level Contract Signing

"Did you hear? Big Head from the North District was taken away by the police last night."

"Really? For what? Could he be sentenced?"

"Who knows? Heaven help us, hopefully this tumor gets eradicated soon."

"I doubt it, he has connections above. He might be released after a couple of days. Before, a newly graduated actress accused him of sexual harassnt. What happened? He was held for a night and released, then counter-sued for defamation, making the poor girl pay a hefty sum..."

...

Initially, when Big Head received Ji Ning’s ssage, he was already anxious, thinking at worst he’d just hand over most of the project’s profits to Ji Ning, spend so money to buy peace like before. Unexpectedly, before the next day, police ca at night to take him in for investigation.

The reason turned out to be an accusation of illegal fundraising, tax evasion through secret contracts, embezzlent, illegal profits, and other common economic cris, with conclusive evidence, leading to imdiate arrest.

He imdiately thought of Ji Ning’s identity and was terrified on the spot.

He didn’t even dare ntion the usual few nas he often ntioned.

This initiated a vigorous crackdown on the entertainnt industry.

The involvent was widespread, with checks from top to bottom.

Personally overseen by Li Wenxin, several big nas were truly caught, even Ye Tong didn’t expect things to get this serious.

Many crews currently filming were suspended, even the fantasy drama Big Head used to exchange resources got involved.

Because of this, Li Tao felt a lingering fear, relieved that he never dared to approach those unspoken rules over the years to build karma for his sister.

"Xiao Tong, do you know any other big figures? Tell your brother in advance, I haven’t slept well lately."

Ye Tong quickly waved her hand, "It’s not , it’s Sister Ning who knows them."

Thinking of Ji Ning, Li Tao felt even more respect, and quietly inquired, "I heard Hua Continent Culture and Tourism is planning to invest 200 million in a large-scale sci-fi series, is that true?"

Previously, Ji Ning told him about a sci-fi film project, which suddenly went quiet as the industry began to "quake," making everyone anxious, so he didn’t dare to think about the project anymore and kept a low profile.

Recently, Hua Continent Culture and Tourism suddenly announced plans for future film projects, including a 60-episode sci-fi series.

Soon after, he received a notice from Ye Tong that Ji Ning wanted to et at the usual place for a eting.

He felt his heart pounding, instinctively linking it to this 60-episode sci-fi series.

Ye Tong smiled mysteriously, "Sister Ning is coming soon, Brother Tao, be ready for a gold pie."

Li Tao couldn’t stop smiling giddily.

Lin Qing rolled her eyes at him but was actually happy for him.

This sci-fi series not only has an official backing, but President Ji is also a big shot investor, and Ye Tong is already set to be the female lead, even she has a significant supporting role.

This ti Ji Ning approached Li Tao regarding the series, estimating those extras he signed will have good roles.

This ti Li Tao truly hit the jackpot.

...

This ti Ji Ning ca without Li Wenxin, but with two familiar faces.

"Brother Gu Lin, Sister Gu?"

Ye Tong didn’t expect Gu Lin and Gu Yuan to accompany Ji Ning.

"Gu Lin will be the future male lead, and Gu Yuan is our new manager, specifically handling your business matters. Let’s welco them," Ji Ning briefly introduced.

Gu Lin touched his face, greeted everyone in the room with a smile, jokingly saying, "Please take care of from now on."

Gu Yuan maintained a cold deanor, giving a slight nod to everyone.

Ji Ning didn’t expect Gu Yuan and Gu Lin to be siblings, and related to Li Wenxin.

The Li Family once hid a child in the Gu Family to preserve their lineage, who beca an adopted mber, leading to Gu Shuangcheng’s family.

The direct descendants of the Gu Family were siblings Gu Yuan and Gu Lin.

Both kept a low profile, never flaunting the Gu Family na, so no one knew about their connection to the Beijing Gu Family.

This ti Ji Ning was preparing to shoot a sci-fi series, Li Wenxin revealed this relationship and recomnded the siblings to assist her.

Ji Ning didn’t hold back, imdiately casting Gu Lin as the male lead, making Gu Yuan a manager in her studio overseeing Ye Tong, even giving her a 20% stake.

Now Gu Yuan is considered one of Ye Tong’s bosses.

Ye Tong and Lin Qing were dumbfounded, internally screaming.

This is Gu Yuan, Tiansheng’s top manager.

Half of the top artists in the industry were brought by her.

How could she join their small studio?

Sister Ning does miracles that are unbelievable.

How much did that cost?

Ye Tong and Lin Qing were moved to the brink of tears.

Gu Yuan wasn’t aware of their rich internal drama; upon seeing Ji Ning’s gaze, she imdiately took out so contracts from her bag, placing them on the glass turntable for them.

"These are our studio’s new contracts, take a look."

Li Tao was surprised to see a contract for himself and his sister on the table.

Upon opening, one was a long-term contract for extras, the other for a studio assistant.

Gu Yuan’s professionalism showed in each contract, clearly defining both parties’ obligations and rights, as well as outlining a detailed five-year training and benefits plan for different employees.

Li Tao initially wanted his sister to stay by his side as an assistant, but seeing Gu Yuan’s contract, he didn’t hesitate to decide for her to sign.

Ji Ning glanced at Li Xiang who remained silent, asking, "What do you think?"

Li Xiang nervously picked at her fingers, having been tornted since learning about the malicious deeds behind the Eternal Life Sect.

She feared anyone discovering her past and hurting her brother.

She truly wanted to distance herself from her brother, but he wouldn’t let her out of sight, keeping her tightly watched.

Now Ji Ning was offering her a job, providing a chance to distance herself, and an opportunity to support herself independently, easing her brother’s burden in the future.

Li Xiang stood up, bowing deeply to Ji Ning.

"Thank you for the job opportunity."

On the other hand, Lin Qing eyed her C-level contract, quickly calculating her future earnings, finding it exceeded so big companies’ B-level contracts.

Happily, she grabbed the pen and eagerly signed her na.

Compared to Lin Qing’s C-level contract, Ye Tong was specially instructed by Ji Ning, made a key focus for Gu Yuan, with an S-level contract indicating studio focus would lean towards her.

Initially, Gu Yuan proposed signing Ye Tong at B-level, planning to recruit other actors who were more famous, with works, and had celebrity appeal to boost the studio’s industry reputation, then gradually enhance Ye Tong’s status within the studio.

But Ji Ning disagreed, directing Gu Yuan to not hold back in ntoring Ye Tong, also mandating the studio have only one S-level contracted artist, aning regardless of Ye Tong’s profitability, her contract remained the studio’s sole S-level contract.

Gu Yuan examined the bright young lady opposite her, sowhat envious of her luck in securing such a strong backing.

Yet Ye Tong didn’t even read through the contract seriously, simply signing her na with a few strokes.

This level of trust surprised Gu Yuan.

These two aren’t real siblings, are they?

Even within a family, when it cos to personal interests, you’d never see 100% trust like this, would you?
