Chapter 120 Weak and Helpless (Please Subscribe)
"A gentleman's agreement? What gentleman's agreement?"

Minju was a little confused. She had already given up hope that the other party would agree to her conditions, but Chen Shijun suddenly took a turn for the better, which immediately perked her up.

"As long as you can play your due role in the team, we promise you at least two TV series within three years, and at least the second female lead."

Eunhye seized the opportunity to offer a solution, and the twin towers listened intently to the related promises, especially Ahn Yujin, whose dog ears were practically standing up.

This condition was negotiated and is undeniably tempting. It's rare for even a regular actor to have this frequency of work, let alone an idol switching careers.

You see, countless actors who became famous with one or two dramas have disappeared from the spotlight because they couldn't get the resources they needed afterward. For a newcomer like her, this is already a huge investment.

Although Big Hit is not known for its film and television resources and does not have a large actor department, it has invested in many distribution companies in recent years, so it is still capable of finding a few dramas.

Once Chen Shijun has established himself, perhaps he can offer Eun-chae a little something. Although the treatment is already quite generous, why not go with the flow?

This is because they've been around for a long time. In the past, when women were as numerous as the riverbanks, it was uncertain whether one would even recognize some of them upon meeting them.

The girl took a deep breath. It seemed that the conditions were enough to impress her. The only remaining doubt was whether she could handle the important role in the group.

“I hope there is a clause that can ensure these promises are kept.”

Although I'm a little embarrassed to say it, after all, it seems a bit excessive to make demands without having achieved anything yet, but this is also a way to ensure that my dream of becoming an actor comes true.

After all, if they are dissatisfied with her performance in the team later, this gentleman's agreement is not very effective. Can she really grab Chen Shijun by the neck and make him take responsibility for her?

"Oh? Minju-ssi doesn't trust my promise? That's really something, hahaha!"

Chen Shijun's tone suddenly turned cold. An'an also felt that it was inappropriate for this older sister to speak like that. Could Director Chen possibly deceive her?
“Oppa! Minju unnie didn’t mean that. It’s just that oppa is very busy, and he won’t be in charge of this in the future. What will happen if other people don’t approve of Minju unnie?”

Xiao Yuan gave her sister a way out, but she was also dissatisfied with Min Zhou's lack of trust in Chen Shi Jun. In her eyes, her oppa was so powerful that Min Zhou, the little soft girl, would immediately bow down and submit.

But it's really going too far to keep bringing this up now, but seeing her pitiful eyes at this moment, I seem to soften a little.

"Is Minju worried that we won't honor our commitment? That's a normal thought, after all, it's a seven-year contract, not a two-and-a-half-year contract limited to the group."

Secretary Li had really mastered the art of praising first and then criticizing. According to Enhui's logic, when it was time to belittle her, she should have relentlessly driven down the price until she questioned the meaning of life.

"However, I want to say that I declined this opportunity. According to our data model, which ranks almost all actors who started as idols, the probability of Minju succeeding in her acting career is, how should I put it... infinitely close to zero."

In fact, Chen Shijun knew that she didn't have any model and was just trying to scare people with her red lips and white teeth, but Minzhou didn't know that. He could tell at a glance that this secretary was quite professional.

Could Chen Shijun's secretary be an ordinary person? Yuan Ying praised her oppa to the skies, saying he started from scratch and created a legend, achieving great success at a young age.

Although she had reservations about his character and personality, his success was undeniable and his abilities were absolutely genuine. Moreover, the high intelligence of this man made her believe that Chen Shijun would never choose a secretary simply because of her looks.

Besides, what they said makes sense. An artist who loses trust is destined to have little chance of continuing to be a favorite, especially since she hasn't proven her abilities in the film and television industry in her early twenties.

It should be noted that at this age, Lim Yoon-ah has already won the hearts of the people with her role as Miss Se-bi in "You Are My Destiny," which also achieved excellent ratings. In the future, even if she doesn't win the Blue Dragon Award for Best Actress, she will definitely be able to win the Grand Bell Award for Best Actress.

As for Bae Suzy, she's been reaping the benefits of being the "nation's first love" for a long time, and she'll likely continue to do so. In contrast, Minju hasn't yet proven herself as an actress, and without the support of her idol popularity, her career path will only become narrower.

"We also contacted Han Xiaoyuan. If Minzhouxi can't join, she would be very willing to join, and that would definitely generate a lot of buzz."

Secretary Li's words were not pleasant to hear, but they seemed to make a lot of sense, which made Min Zhou feel resigned to his fate. But was he really that bad?

It seems that things aren't going very well. He didn't do well in school, and he wasn't a good idol either. He sees acting as a way to express his inner desires, but can he really succeed at it?

When I encounter setbacks, will I give up again? What can I do then? A feeling of weakness and helplessness almost overwhelms me.

"Why are you grabbing my arm? Zhang Yuanying, let me tell you, don't pull and tug like that in public."

Chen Shijun pretended to be angry, but he was actually saving face for Xiao Yuan, who was the middleman. After all, she would be staying in the group for a while, and the other party would have to owe Xiao Yuan a favor in the future.

“Oppa never breaks his promises, unnie, you should just trust him, everything will be fine.”

Wonyoung patted her chest, assuring everyone that everything was foolproof. How could she not trust her own oppa? Minju's thinking was really going too far. If it weren't for her own reputation, oppa would have been angry long ago.

"Yes, yes! Director Chen is such a high-ranking executive in a big company, would he lie to you? Unnie, hurry up and agree, otherwise it will be hard to have this opportunity again."

In An Gou Gou's opinion, Chen Shi Jun's sincerity was more than enough. What was Jin Min Zhou still worried about? If it were him, he would have agreed long ago.

After her two younger sisters got into such a fight, Minju felt like she had really done something really wrong to Chen Shijun, and thinking about it, it seemed like that was true.

It's so hurtful that executives from big companies would go to great lengths to meet with me, all because of Xiaoyuan, and they even made promises that I don't trust.

"I'm sorry, Director Chen. I misspoke. I didn't mean to distrust you at all."

She stood up abruptly and bowed at a ninety-degree angle. Chen Shijun felt a pang of sympathy for the girl; it was truly unbelievable that everyone at the table was one of his own people.

"I just want to know, why did Big Hit choose me?"

Chen Shijun didn't actually know the answer to the girl's question, but everyone else said that Kim Minju was good and suitable, so he thought so too, but he couldn't tell her directly.

"You'll naturally learn these things once you become part of the project. We'll explore your value more deeply, which will also be a huge challenge for you. We hope you won't let us down."

Seemingly aware of Chen Shijun's thoughts, Secretary Enhui smiled and extended her hand to Minju. Nothing is more satisfying than opening a trap and finding the prey intact.

After a moment of silence, Minju finally lowered his head and sighed resignedly, clearly having made his decision.

"Then I and the company must..."

The four of them raised their heads simultaneously, revealing indescribable smiles. Thanks to Secretary Eunhye's scheme, the negotiation process had finally been accelerated, and thus, the first member of Team S could finally say "Hey we go."
