How can you become a star without money?

Chapter 1 Domestic
Those who frequently respawn should understand.

The first thing to do is to confirm whether you have been reborn or traveled through time.

Confirm whether the timeline and world background have changed.

Xie Tingfeng speaks for the first time about Edison Chen: We can no longer be friends.

'Rumors and denials of Takeshi Kim's marriage'

"The four rising stars of the post-80s generation in the entertainment industry: Liu Yifei, Huang Shengyi, Yang Mi, and Wang Luodan."

Looking at the entertainment section of Tencent's website.

Wang Yao felt as if he had been reborn.

December 2010, 1.

New Year's Day.

Shouldn't I be on vacation according to this timeline?
Why are you working overtime in the office?

A third-year intern.

Working overtime on New Year's Day?

Oh.

Reasonable.

He tapped his slightly swollen forehead, and the slight stinging from his thick bangs on his hand made Wang Yao feel much more alert.

Ah, that volume of hair I miss.

Her gaze swept over the quiet office, with its mix of new and old desks and chairs, old-fashioned yet trendy partitions, and walls covered with posters and cards of models.

It was something Wang Yao was extremely familiar with.

Even after fifteen years, it still feels like yesterday.

Tianhuo.com!

The first company Wang Yao interned at during his university years.

It was also the only company Wang Yao ever worked for.

Because he went from being an intern to the legal representative of the company in just six months, and later became a person who had failed to fulfill their obligations.

Everyone suspects that they've been set up by capital.

However, Wang Yao, who hadn't graduated from university in 2010, was truly tricked by capital.

An intern, because of his outstanding appearance and abilities, was chosen by the boss to become a partner in the new company. He not only has a base salary of up to 1 yuan per month, but also 5% of the equity.

And then there were the company's group of beautiful models, calling him "President Wang" repeatedly, and their envious and flattering manner.

The only additional responsibility is to become the company's legal representative.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; everyone knows that.

But when a pie actually falls in your face, how many people can resist opening their mouths?

Moreover, he is a boy from a small town with an ordinary but well-off family background.
This really proves what Uncle Benshan said.

If you stomp, you'll feel numb too.

A spirited young man and a promising company should have had a bright future, but within just one year, due to a series of sudden changes and accidents, the company breached multiple contracts and faced huge compensation payments.

When Wang Yao returned to the company after receiving the court summons.

The investors and the big boss have disappeared without a trace, as if they have vanished into thin air.

Looking at those stacks of contracts he had never been involved in, yet bearing his name and official seal, he felt a pang of sadness.

Wang Yao still had no idea what he was about to face.

The only thing I remember vividly is...

When the judgment was handed down, the eight-figure compensation made him burst out laughing in court.

Confusion, fear, and helplessness all turned into absurdity.

Every gift that fate bestows has a price already secretly marked on it.

Unfortunately, Wang Yao didn't like reading.

On countless nights when he was awakened by nightmares, Wang Yao's mind was filled with thoughts of how to break the deadlock.

Countless times.

fifteen years!
Even he himself had somewhat forgotten how he had gotten through those fifteen years.

He only remembered that the nightmare that had been weighing on him gradually dissipated after the new Company Law came into effect in 24.

But he had so many dreams.

But I never dreamed that he would be reborn.

Even though he wrote so many rebirth novels back then to pay off his debts.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. He wants you to sign these contracts."

A soft, charming voice broke Wang Yao's numbness.

Wang Yao looked up, his vision obscured by his bangs, but he couldn't hide the snow-white abyss that came into view.

The other party made no attempt to hide their display, but Wang Yao remained completely focused.

Pan Shuang is one of the company's contracted models and also occasionally serves as the boss's secretary.

Among the stack of contracts she handed over were the film projects she had worked on for Yinghuang Productions this year.

The other three contracts were all economic agreements.

Wang Yao was deeply impressed.

The reason these three contracts were signed by him was because the other party later became famous and then all of them went bankrupt.

Qu Shou, Ma Ruo, Feng Qiao.

Three major events shook public opinion in China.

All of them were created by Wang Yao.

This wasn't a contract; it was the beginning of his nightmare.

Wang Yao stiffly signed Pan Shuang's project proposal, stamped it, but pressed down the other three copies. "Is General Manager He here?"

"Today, Li Ai from New Ideas recommended a newcomer, the girl from northern Xinjiang named Nazha that everyone has been talking about lately. President He went to entertain her."

When Pan Shuang saw that her contract had been signed, a smile spread across her face, and her voice became even sweeter.

As for the other three, she'd rather not sign them, so that no one would compete for the resources.

Naza?

A stunningly beautiful face flashed through my mind. As far as I remembered, this girl hadn't signed with Tianhuo; she seemed to have signed directly with their parent company, Meishe. Later, she was spotted and promoted to their partner company, Tangren. She was considered a relatively successful example of Meishe bringing talent into the entertainment industry.

It seems that some things back then may not have been just 'accidents'.

"Okay, I'll keep these three contracts here for now. I'll talk to Mr. He about it later." Wang Yao subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Pan Shuang was taken aback when she saw Wang Yao's smile.

In my memory, this little boy always blushed and was extremely shy when he saw them.

I didn't even dare to look at them, let alone smile at them.

If it weren't for his suspected relationship with President He, they would have already made advances on Wang Yao. After all, such a sweet and delectable young man would be a heartthrob for both men and women even in the modeling world.

"Okay, does Mr. Wang need anything else?" Pan Shuang bent down slightly, picked up the signed contract, and held it to her chest.

"Sister Shuang, you should also get off work early. Happy New Year." Wang Yao said without looking to the side, his smile unchanged.

"Okay, okay, Happy New Year, Mr. Wang." Pan Shuang stared at Wang Yao's smile and swallowed, feeling a little strange.

Strange, the child's laughter is eerily unsettling.

Wang Yao's fingers traced the still-warm document, but his gaze and thoughts were already drifting through the floor-to-ceiling window to the brightly lit streets under the night sky.

"Sign or not sign?"

He didn't need to look at it; he remembered every single word in the contract perfectly.

Which article, which case, which regulations were violated, and how much compensation was awarded?

Even after two lifetimes, it remains vivid in my memory.

Wang Yao only snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a slight burning pain between his fingers.

I took out my iPhone 3.

This phone was a partnership gift that Mr. He personally brought back from Hong Kong for him.

Wang Yao had mixed feelings about General Manager He. On one hand, when he was in a good mood, he treated him very well, offering genuine care in terms of salary, benefits, respect, and even career planning. Even a month before the company's collapse, he deliberately found an excuse to stay at the Korean branch for more than a year, thus avoiding the worst period of creditor repercussions for the company.

As for whether it was to stabilize himself and create a time gap, so that he could take the blame properly.

Still concerned for their own safety, they thought about turning the crisis into an opportunity and getting through the difficult situation themselves.

It's no longer possible to trace back to the first history.

After all, when he left without saying goodbye and vanished without a trace, leaving me with a mess.

Human nature is something that cannot be looked at directly.

Having been given a second chance at life, Wang Yao only wants to live in the present.

As Shakespeare aptly put it, all that has come before is but a prologue.

But then again.

Wang Yao was an ordinary person who didn't like listening to famous quotes but preferred to hear common sayings.

As the saying goes, repay grievances and settle scores.

"Hello, is this the China University of Political Science and Law? I'd like to look for Dr. Zhang San."

Even a feud spanning ten generations can be avenged.
Zhang San is a doctoral supervisor at Huaxia University of Political Science and Law and is preparing to become a professor.

In his early years, due to his personality, he did not do well in the industry. In 07, he offended someone and was sent abroad to lead students for two years. When he returned, the leaders he was in contact with had changed twice, and there was no place for him at all. In 09, he was sent to the United States as a visiting scholar, which was to guard the border.

I finally made it back before New Year's Day, only to receive another call from the Academic Affairs Office saying that a domestic company had specifically requested a legal representative.

After being sidelined in the workplace, he returned to teaching at a university in 05. To this day, he only earns extra money by providing legal exam training at institutions. He gets a lot of consultations, but very few people ask him for assignments, let alone companies.

After all, in the 10 years since then, the domestic companies that need legal representation have basically been monopolized by a few law firms.

Filled with doubt, Zhang San picked up the phone and called back, only to hear a slightly younger voice on the other end.

"Hello Dr. Zhang, I am Wang Yao from Shanghai Tianhuo Media. Our company has some legal issues that we would like your help to review."

"Tianhuo Media? Judging from the name, it's a media company? I didn't major in business law, how did you find me?" Zhang San became increasingly puzzled.

His major areas of study were criminal law, philosophy of criminal law, economic criminal law, and sex crimes, which had almost nothing to do with commercial law.

Law is a field where different disciplines are like different worlds. Economic criminal law and commercial law may seem to be related, but in reality they are almost worlds apart. It's strange that a normal business would not hire someone like him, who has no case studies and is not a specialist, for consultation.

“A senior student of mine attended your class and highly praised your professional level. Let me introduce ourselves first. We are a subsidiary invested by Meishe Company and Hafim Group, and we were just established recently.”

The boy across from me had a warm and sincere voice that made it easy for people to like him.

“I have indeed heard of Meishe and Hafim Group. Is your company also mainly engaged in model agency business?” Zhang San keenly noticed some key points.

Meishe Company is very famous, and he had heard of it, especially in Beijing. The company has become very popular in recent years, and almost every man has come across its websites or news.

This is a leading company specializing in model management, and such companies do indeed align with his major in a certain way.

"Yes, I might need long-term consultation services. I wonder if Dr. Zhang would be interested in paid legal companionship?"

???

Paid legal escort?
"Mr. Wang, this job doesn't sound very promising," Zhang San chuckled.

"The consultation fee is 500 yuan per day, and the cost of consulting projects is calculated separately, how about that?" Wang Yao asked sincerely.

Zhang San remained silent for a long time.
"Domestic flights are possible."

　This is my first book, and I hope you readers will support and be understanding. Thank you!
　　Remarks:

　　The colloquial use of "legal person" in this article generally refers to the legal representative; please forgive any inaccuracies.

　　A legal person is an organization (such as a company) with independent civil rights capacity.

　　The legal representative is a natural person who represents the organization in exercising its powers (such as the chairman of the board).

　　[Fundamental Differences in Legal Attributes]

　　Legal person:

　　Legally constructed independent civil subjects, including organizations such as enterprises and public institutions, are capable of independently enjoying rights and assuming obligations.

　　For example, the assets of limited liability companies and joint-stock companies are independent of the personal assets of their shareholders.

　　Legal representative:
　　A legally registered natural person may represent a legal entity in external civil activities, such as the chairman or general manager of a company.

　　Its identity must be stipulated in the company's articles of association and registered with the industry and commerce authorities.

　　Differences in liability-sharing mechanisms

　　Legal person:

　　Shareholders bear civil liability independently with all their assets, while shareholders bear limited liability only to the extent of their capital contributions.

　　Legal representative:
　　The legal consequences arising from the performance of duties shall be borne by the legal person.

　　Individual liability is only incurred when damage is caused intentionally or through gross negligence, and may involve civil compensation, administrative penalties, or even criminal liability.
