The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Ling Yun didn't answer immediately. Instead, he released Da Mimi and looked the stunningly beautiful woman up and down.

He only nodded with a smile after seeing Yang Mi's pretty face turn slightly red.

"If you're really willing to switch jobs and join Starlight Culture, I can't guarantee you'll get top-tier resources; it all depends on your performance."

"But I can guarantee that for a while after you join the company, you will indeed get access to some great resources, because you're Yanzi's friend!"

"Considering you started as a child star, have acted in many dramas since you were young, and have great potential, the company can offer you a signing bonus of around five million."

"My goodness, these offers are too tempting!"

Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, almost jumping up.

The others present also exclaimed in surprise, each one speechless with astonishment.

Many beautiful women, in particular, were so envious that their eyes turned red.

Everyone could tell that this young man was extremely generous and didn't treat money like money at all.

If he sets his sights on someone, he'll spend no amount of money to poach them without batting an eye.

Even friends of his friends can gain favor and land very good opportunities because of this.

Seeing Yang Mi cheering and jumping for joy, Ling Yun chuckled softly.

"Whether you can get better resources next depends on your performance. If you perform well, the resources will get better and better, and top-tier resources will not be a problem."

"If your performance is just average, you'll have a few more chances to prove yourself. But if your performance doesn't improve, your resources will be downgraded. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"The top-tier resources mentioned here include film and television resources, as well as various fashion endorsements, and even stock options of a film and television company."

"Of course, that's on the condition that you can switch jobs and come here. If you're unwilling or unable to switch jobs, that's okay too. We can still be friends, and you can come to me if you need anything..."

Yang Mi was completely stunned, frozen on the spot, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

Ling Yun smiled and turned to look at Zhang Xiaofei.

"You must be Zhang Xiaofei, right? I've seen your profile before. You're even more beautiful in person than in your photos. Welcome to Starlight Culture!"

Compared to Yang Mi and Tong Liya, Zhang Xiaofei seemed much more flustered.

Faced with Ling Yun's outstretched hand, she was momentarily flustered, her pretty face slightly flushed as she shook his hand.

"Hello, Chairman Ling, thank you for your compliment. I'm just an ordinary girl, far inferior to Mimi and Shanshan."

"It's my good fortune to join the company. Thank you for giving me this opportunity; I will definitely make the most of it."

"Don't underestimate yourself; I have high hopes for your future."

Ling Yun smiled and offered a few words of encouragement.

At this moment, no one knew better than him what heights this girl could reach in the future.

Next, he shook hands with Yuan Shan, Jiao Junyan, and other signed artists of the company one by one, and got to know each other.

As they were talking, the door on the other side of the theater backstage suddenly opened.

Most of the crew members, who had just finished their interviews, returned backstage one after another, chatting and laughing.

After successfully completing their debut performance, they were so excited that their faces lit up and their steps became lighter.

The two-hour performance didn't seem to have brought them any fatigue.

The play's director, lead actors, and two other main actors did not return backstage.

They remained on stage, joining numerous first- and second-tier celebrities and big names from the film, television, and theater industries who came to support them, to be interviewed by reporters from various media outlets.

Along with the other crew members, Yanzi, Leilei, and several people from Starlight Culture Company returned backstage.

Seeing the lively scene backstage, the crew members were not surprised.

They had received prior notice that Lingyun would take this opportunity to meet with the management of Starlight Culture and its contracted artists.

The entire theater crew, from the director to the assistants, naturally had no objections to this.

There's nothing we can do; they're the big spenders!

As the crew returned backstage, Ling Yun stopped talking, smiled at them, and nodded slightly in greeting.

The next moment, Yanzi and Leilei walked quickly towards them.

Upon approaching, Yanzi greeted Yang Mi and Ya Ya and the others, and they chatted enthusiastically.

Ever since they learned that she was the owner of a fashion magazine and a wealthy billionaire, Yang Mi and Tong Liya became somewhat reserved when facing her.

Leilei then came to Lingyun's side and excitedly whispered:

"The premiere was such a success! My sister and the others are still being interviewed by the media on stage. It'll probably take another 10 or 20 minutes. My sister wants you to wait patiently."

"Since there's still some time, why don't you go see my parents? They're just outside backstage and want to chat with you for a bit before going home."

"Of course, no problem. I should definitely say hello to my uncle and aunt."

Ling Yun nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, he greeted the general manager of Starlight Culture and others, and then walked with Leilei toward the other door.

Following closely behind, Zhong Tao and his group quickly caught up.

No sooner had Ling Yun left than Jiao Junyan suddenly sidled up to Yang Mi and whispered enviously:

"Why don't you switch jobs and come here, Mimi? I can tell that Chairman Ling values ​​you a lot."

"Given Chairman Ling's and Starlight Culture's strength, the resources he can provide are far beyond what your current company can match!"

"Putting everything else aside, the five million after-tax signing bonus alone is enough for you to earn for many years!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Shan immediately chimed in with a few words.

"That's right, Mimi, such great conditions are hard to find even with a lantern, you absolutely mustn't miss out!"

"If you switch jobs and come here, we can act together, wouldn't that be fun?"

Yang Mi glanced at her two best friends and then fell silent.

After a moment, she muttered helplessly in a low voice:

"Chairman Ling's offer is indeed very tempting, how could I not be interested? But changing jobs isn't that simple."

"My agency contract still has more than two years left, and Director Li has been very kind to me, so I'm really embarrassed to bring up terminating the contract."

"Besides, there's a hefty penalty for breach of contract. If I really switch jobs, the company will definitely turn against me..."

When she told them these things, Jiao Junyan and the others were completely stunned.

They were all greenhorns who hadn't even graduated from school yet, lacking social experience and no way of handling these kinds of things.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiaofei suddenly interrupted.

"Why don't you go talk to Chairman Ling? Since he wants to poach you, he can definitely solve your problem."

"With his astonishing abilities, he could probably get your company to release him with just a word, and they might not even dare to ask for a penalty for breach of contract!"

"brush!"

Yang Mi's expression instantly brightened, and she smiled excitedly.

Outside the west gate backstage, Lingyun had already met Leilei's parents and Dameiyuan's parents.

With Leilei's introduction, he met Leilei's father and his family, and exchanged a few polite greetings.

After exchanging greetings, Leilei's father asked curiously in a low voice:

"Xiao Ling, have all the leaders who went into the play with you left? How do you know them?"

"And those security personnel behind you, could they all be special agents? They look like it."

Ling Yun smiled calmly and nodded, offering a few words of explanation.

"That's right, Uncle. Director Liu and Director Zhang have both gone back to rest. It's late now, and they both have work tomorrow!"

"I met them through work. For example, I met Deputy Director Zhang when I went to Haizi to report on my work, and he gave me a lot of help."

"As for the security personnel around me, there are indeed a few special agents from the Ninth Bureau who are cared for and protected by SZ. You just need to know this."

"Ah! Special Operations Division 9, did I hear that right?"

Da Meiyuan's father gasped softly, clearly startled.

The others were the same, all wearing expressions of utter shock.

The next moment, Da Meiyuan's mother said in a low voice:

"Thank you, Xiaoling, for bringing so many important leaders to support Yuanyuan. This experience will surely be a great help to her!"

"You're Yuanyuan's boss, I hope you can take good care of her and help her more in the future..."

Before she could finish speaking, Leilei suddenly pinched Lingyun's lower back secretly.
