Lin Xiyue took the contract and looked at it carefully, one page at a time. Duan Lingfei also came over and watched it with her.
The design of the contract wasn't complicated, it explained both the rights and obligations of the two parties. Simply put, Li Qiao helped Lin Xiyue to become the champion of this time's talent show, while Lin Xiyue had to sign a contract with Li Fu's studio for five years.
Compared to the contract that Brilliant Media had provided to her, this contract had a longer lifespan and more restrictions. The share of income that Lin Xiyue had promised was pitifully low.
If it was an ordinary little girl who did not know anything, perhaps she would have been tricked by Li Qiao. But Lin Xiyue was not a new person, of course he could tell that there were obvious problems with this contract with a glance. If he signed it, then for the next five years, he would probably be squeezed to the point that he would not even be able to cry.
"Teacher Li, I don't think this contract suits me very well. Thank you for your good intentions." Lin Xiyue smiled and handed the contract back, his tone did not lose any respect, as though he was giving Li Qiao face.
"Miss Lin, do you really not want to consider it anymore?" Li Qiao narrowed his eyes.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Teacher Li. Regarding the contract, I'd still like to be more careful."
"Hmph, stop pretending." Li Qiao suddenly stood up: "You think I don't know what you're thinking? "You think that you have the talent to become the champion based on your own strength and become famous overnight?"
Saying this, Li Qiao's mouth revealed a mocking smile: "I've seen a lot of girls like you. You're so childish, it's too late to regret it after you've been beaten to a pulp."
He had already gone too far with his words. If he had not seen them with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine these words coming out of a celebrity like him.
Speaking till here, there was nothing left to talk about. Lin Xiyue endured his anger and said: "Teacher Li, you don't need to worry about whether or not I can win the championship.
However, facing Lin Xiyue's order to leave, Li Qiao still did not seem to have any intention of leaving, he sneered: "It's obvious that you do not know how powerful I am in the Entertainment Circle, do you believe, that as long as I make a few calls, no entertainment company will sign you, and you will not be invited to any similar programs by any television station in the future."
These words were already an obvious threat, Li Qiao's arrogant look when he said it was completely different from when he was on stage or on interview shows, but before he finished speaking, he saw Duan Lingfei taking out his phone and pointing it at him.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Duan Lingfei shrugged his shoulders: "I just think that you're too awesome, so I can't help but want to record it."
This action directly pierced into Li Qiao's weak spot. For a public figure like him, the thing he was most afraid of was someone secretly taking photos of him. At this moment, he could only sneer, turned his head and wanted to leave.
However, she was just pretending and wanted to run, how could Duan Lingfei allow that to happen in front of her?
The dressing room was not big, with only a narrow aisle in the middle. Li Qiao covered his face with one hand and quickly walked towards the door while reaching out a hand to pull it open.
However, at this moment, he only felt someone pull at his feet, causing him to instantly lose his balance and fall to the ground in a panic.
Although he was able to support himself on the ground, his head still knocked on the door, producing a loud 'bang'. Then, his forehead quickly became red and swollen.
"Bastard, who tripped me? "You guys …" Li Qiao quickly stood up, holding his forehead, he roared out, but before he finished speaking, he saw Duan Lingfei's phone pointing straight at him, even turning on the light.
Li Qiao swallowed his words back into his stomach. Compared to his reputation and image, what was a fall and fall? He could only endure it for now and wait until the stage where he could use other methods to take revenge.
Thinking of this, Li Qiao opened the door of the dressing room without saying a word and left without looking back.
"..."
After Li Qiao left, the atmosphere in the dressing room became heavy again. Duan Lingfei was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he did not care about this sort of thing, but Lin Xiyue had already silently sat on the chair, his head lowered without saying a word.
Seeing that, Duan Lingfei intentionally used a joking tone to interrupt: "What's wrong? Were you frightened by this kind of person? "
Lin Xiyue did not speak, he only shook his head.
"Don't worry, this kind of person only rely on their mouth. In reality, they don't have that much power." Duan Lingfei continued to console him, "As long as you perform as you normally, I feel that you will definitely be able to take first place."
"Actually, I don't really care if I can get first place. I just want to be fair."
"Don't worry, you'll get fairness."
"But that Li Qiao is a judge, if he intentionally gave me a low score..."
"The other judges and spectators aren't blind either."
"But …"
"No buts." Duan Lingfei interrupted Lin Xiyue: "If you want to continue on the path of music, you must adapt to all this, Entertainment Circle are cruel, there are many people like Li Qiao."
Lin Xiyue became silent, and Duan Lingfei continued: "If you don't even have the courage to face it, then I think you should give up on the road of Entertainment Circle as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, Duan Lingfei no longer spoke, but stood to the side, helplessly watching Lin Xiyue's eyes slowly recover the fighting spirit. He finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Thank you, but my mental state isn't that good. If it wasn't for you, I would have definitely lost control of myself."
Speaking to here, Lin Xiyue smiled sweetly at Duan Lingfei and said, "I've discovered that you are really my lucky star. Every time you're by my side, I feel especially safe."
"Really, I don't have a girlfriend yet. Do you want to consider it?"
"Pfft, hateful." Lin Xiyue spat out lightly. Her bashful look made Duan Lingfei excited.
Duan Lingfei felt that his beast blood was boiling, but the three knocks on the door forced him to calm down.
A makeup artist stuck her head in and asked, "Miss Lin, we don't have much time left to prepare. Do you think we should start putting on makeup now?"
"Sure." Lin Xiyue immediately replied.
"Alright." The makeup artist had clearly been waiting for a long time, as she entered the door with her tools and said to Duan Lingfei: "Sir, we are going to start applying makeup, can I ask you to leave for a while?"
Even though he was unwilling in his heart, when he saw Lin Xiyue's sneering expression, Duan Lingfei could only clench his teeth and say: "Alright, then I'll go to the audience seats first. You can do it."
With that, he helplessly turned around and left.
