Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 340 Can it still be calculated this way?
Li Zhaoyang was screaming with fear inside, but on the surface she had to pretend to be calm and composed.

"Since you're An'an's friend, the contract is easy to discuss. I'll have them prepare the highest-level contract for you. I'll also increase the profit margin to 30%. What do you think?"

"Isn't 30% too little?"

Li Zhaoyang gasped, his gaze towards Du Anrao filled with heartache, as if to say, "Why are you still siding with outsiders, you little brat?"

"...Then forty percent."

"About 45%."

"...If I agree, are you going to say that since it's already 45%, why not just round it up and give him 50% directly?"

Du Anrao smiled shyly: "If you, cousin, are willing to be so generous, I think he probably won't mind."

Li Zhaoyang nearly fainted from anger: "I'm giving him a discount, and I still have to see if he minds?"

Fortunately, that's how business deals are. The initial conditions are always inflated, like haggling. The initial high price is just to get people to negotiate.

The profit margin that Du Anrao mentioned was right on Li Zhaoyang's psychological limit, so he only felt the pain for a moment before giving in.

He then asked Fu Sili, "What do you think?"

“Miss Du is a benefactor to my whole family. I believe she would not harm me. Just do as she says. I have no objections.”

Fu Sili's words were actually a veiled statement that he signed the contract and stayed with the company only because of Du Anrao's influence.

As long as Du Anrao and Li Zhaoyang are still related as siblings, and as long as Li Zhaoyang is still the boss of this company, his contract will not end up with someone else.

Both Li Zhaoyang and his sister understood the implied meaning, and their gazes toward the two of them became more meaningful.

Du Anrao chuckled upon hearing this, clapped his hands, and made the final decision: "Then it's settled."

Don't worry, cousin. Fu Sili is a rising star; he'll not only be a cash cow but also a rocket, easily propelling other newcomers in your company to new heights. Consider this 50% investment an advance investment; you definitely won't lose money.

Li Zhaoyang found it both funny and heartwarming. How could he not know what Du Anrao was talking about?
For a company like theirs, a superstar is far more important than a bunch of second- or third-tier celebrities. A superstar is someone who can truly move an aircraft carrier, while some so-called big stars struggle to even move a basket. The difference in influence is simply incomparable.

Just like Du Anrao said, since everyone is here today, let's strike while the iron is hot, come up with a result, and sign the contract immediately.

The company's contracts were all ready-made; only a small portion of the data needed to be changed. Li Zhaoyang made a phone call, and within five minutes, a short-haired female secretary in her early twenties came down with the contract, along with two small cakes.

"You must be hungry after wandering around upstairs for so long. Have a piece of cake with your sister. We'll be ready soon."

Du Anrao nodded and sat on the other side of the table with Li Yuesheng, obediently eating their cake.

Since the basic conditions have already been confirmed beforehand, you only need to take a look and confirm them again.

After reviewing the contract terms and confirming that the conditions were consistent with what they had just discussed, the two signed their names and pressed their fingerprints, thus seamlessly continuing their ten-year contract ahead of schedule.

After signing the contract, the two got up and shook hands as usual. Du Anrao had finished eating the cake and was about to get up and leave when a contract was pushed in front of her.

"what is this?"

"When I asked her to get the artist contract, I also found a company equity transfer agreement." "A company equity transfer agreement? What's the purpose of that? Who's it for?"

As soon as Du Anrao finished speaking, everyone's eyes in the room immediately turned to her.

"For...me?" Du Anrao pointed to himself in disbelief. "Why would you give me this for no reason?"

"Of course, thank you."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for helping me find your sister-in-law and nephew." And thank you for changing the fate of Yu Xi and our whole family.

"But this is far too expensive."

"It's only five percent of the shares, what's so valuable about that?"

"Oh, just accept it." Li Yuesheng couldn't stand the two of them pushing and shoving each other, so she went up and pressed Du Anrao back to her seat, then shoved the pen into her hand and said bluntly, "Just consider it a chance for my brother to ride on your good luck. With you as a shareholder in his company, the company's finances will definitely skyrocket. He'll be the one who benefits."

Du Anrao: "???" Is it even possible to calculate it like this?

"Yuesheng is right, hurry up, hurry up, I'm waiting to ride your coattails and get rich quick."

Du Anrao was eventually urged to sign his name and put his fingerprint on the contract.

In just one afternoon, Du Anrao acquired a 5% stake in a new entertainment company without spending a single penny. Du Anrao himself felt like he was dreaming.

The person who gave her the money acted like he'd gotten a great deal: "Although the company is still in its development stage and can't give you much in dividends right now, don't worry, your cousin will work hard to earn more money as soon as possible and help you achieve financial freedom."

Li Yuesheng: "..." I know you too well. You're not trying to work hard to earn money for others to spend. You've clearly set your sights on a good donkey from a certain production team, deliberately dangling a carrot in front of people, waiting for them to create value for you.

Fu Sili stood on the other side of the table, witnessing all of this, his eyes flickering, but he remained silent.

After signing the two contracts, the group left the meeting room one after another.

Before leaving, Du Anrao noticed with his sharp eyes that the contract in Fu Sili's hand still had the three words "Fu Sili" written on it, and he couldn't help but show surprise.

Why is it still this payment method?

“Nine out of ten celebrities in the industry have stage names, and most of them are different from their real names. Many even change their surnames. I discussed it with my grandparents and decided to use my original name as my stage name.”

"I see."

[That's fine too. In the original novel, when Fu Sili was mentioned at the end, they still used the same "Fu" in the name. Who knows, maybe "Fu" is just lucky for him in the industry? Sometimes it's okay to selectively believe in metaphysics.]

Li Zhaoyang's eyes flickered slightly. So this Fu family is not that Fu family?
Although Fu Sili's new drama has finished filming, he has become a minor celebrity due to the previous leaks and hype. Many investors have seen his potential and have taken the initiative to approach him for cooperation. Therefore, after signing the contract, he had to go to the business department with his agent to hand over the work for the subsequent arrangements and did not stay for too long.

After Fu Sili left, Du Anrao belatedly realized that he had come here with Li Yuesheng today for the real purpose, and turned to look at Li Yuesheng expectantly.

"Sister Yuesheng, we've gone around in circles, have you found anything? Any ideas? Is there any male celebrity you find particularly tall, handsome, and charming, someone who catches your eye?"
