Chapter 2416 - 2220: Riding the Fame Wave

Jin Haicheng remained unmoved by He Guangyi's urging, and instead said to He Guangyi, "Miss Zhang is trying to prevent me from breaching the contract. After all, in celebrity endorsements, credibility and reputation are quite important. Miss Zhang obviously believes that since I've already signed an endorsement agreement with other similar products, I really shouldn't take on your family's product advertisement."

He Guangyi nodded as he listened, carefully pondering the meaning behind Jin Haicheng's words.

Jin Haicheng spoke about what Miss Zhang believed.

So He Guangyi asked how Miss Jin felt, "I'm not sure what Miss Jin thinks about this matter?"

Jin Haicheng looked at He Guangyi, and suddenly shivered, tilting his head to laugh at He Guangyi's face.

"My view is different from Miss Zhang's. I don't know how many grievances I've suffered in the background, how many times I've been bullied, how many scars I've endured on my face, how much hardship I've faced just to achieve today's success. Why shouldn't I make a big profit while I'm hot? Who can predict the entertainment circle? Today I'm hot, tomorrow I might be exposed in some scandal and become contemptible to everyone. I need to grab as much as I can before that happens," Jin Haicheng said to He Guangyi.

"Hahahahaha," He Guangyi laughed heartily after hearing Jin Haicheng's words.

"I knew Miss Jin would definitely have a different view from Miss Zhang, which is why I resolved to call and meet Miss Jin personally. I told Miss Zhang as much. Miss Jin's view aligns perfectly with mine, but Miss Zhang told me she was thinking about the artist's long-term development," He Guangyi said.

"Hmph," Jin Haicheng snorted coldly.

"For people like us, what long-term development do we have? It's all about cashing in on our youth. My face has undergone who knows how much work. I'm 24 this year, and at most, by 30, the after-effects of my cosmetic surgeries will appear, which means my long-term development is at most just six years. Why shouldn't I earn as much as I can now?" Jin Haicheng asked He Guangyi.

"Exactly, we highly admire Miss Jin's attitude. If Miss Jin agrees to endorse our herbal tea product's brand image, our company is willing to cover the breach of contract fees for Miss Jin and offer the fees for endorsing a top domestic female celebrity brand, two years at 4 million per year," He Guangyi directly offered.

"Deal."

"Hahahaha."

Before meeting He Guangyi, Jin Haicheng left her phone at the hotel. Upon returning, she found Miss Zhang standing at her hotel room door.

"Where did you go? Oh my, you almost scared me to death! Why didn't you tell us you were going out, and you didn't even take your phone? We nearly called the police," Miss Zhang exclaimed, scolding Jin Haicheng as soon as she came back.

Jin Haicheng said nothing and didn't answer Miss Zhang's questions, opening the door and walking back into her hotel room, lying motionless on the bed.

"What's this attitude?" Miss Zhang couldn't help but get angry seeing Jin Haicheng like this.

Jin Haicheng kept her eyes closed and didn't speak.

"Where did you go?" Miss Zhang yelled at Jin Haicheng.

Jin Haicheng sat up, grabbed her bag, and pulled out a contract, slamming it on the bed with a thud.

"What's this?" Miss Zhang asked, looking at Jin Haicheng's face, snatching the contract from the bed and glancing through it.

"Did you sign a contract with the Cool Breeze Herbal Tea folks behind my back?" Miss Zhang's eyes darted between Jin Haicheng's face and the contract several times before finally asking.

Jin Haicheng nodded to Miss Zhang.

"You're out of your mind! How can you be so greedy, willing to earn any kind of money? This is breach of contract, breach of contract, do you understand? Who will dare to approach you for endorsements in the future?" Miss Zhang's face was flushed with anger.

"What's wrong with breaching a contract? Whoever offers a higher price gets my endorsement. What's wrong with that? Why earn 2 million when you can earn 4 million?" Jin Haicheng stood up directly from the bed, pointed down at Miss Zhang, shouting at her.

"You think you'll stop earning money after this 4 million? Haven't you considered how a breach of contract affects a celebrity's image at all? I rejected them because I was considering your long-term development!" Miss Zhang also shouted at Jin Haicheng.

"Long-term development? Don't try to fool me with long-term development. You haven't got any long-term development plan for me at all. My face is full of the after-effects of cosmetic surgeries, and by 30 it won't be presentable. I'm already 24 now. Do you really think I'm dumb? Does your big talk of future plans mean anything to me? I don't want long-term development; I don't care about celebrity image. I want real money!"

Miss Zhang was left speechless by the rebuttal.

"You're after real money, alright, but I've already signed an agreement with the others, and you suddenly tell me you've breached the contract and signed with someone else. How am I supposed to explain this to them?"

"What is there to explain? Aren't you just worried about the breach of contract fee? Cool Breeze Herbal Tea has said they'll cover the fee, so you don't need to worry."

"When Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea comes looking for me, I'll just send them to you!"

"You send them to me, so what? You couldn't meet the price they offered!"
