S-Class Contract

"No problem," Jiang Siming said frankly, not being pretentious.

He already had the idea of live-streaming, so since they extended an olive branch, he naturally wouldn't mind.

"Alright, I'll give them your number. How about you call them later to discuss in detail, Brother Ming? Don't worry, I'll help keep an eye on them for you."

Dumb Sister acted like she was backing her man, causing the Shark executives watching the stream to frown.

Seriously, you're from our platform, shouldn't you be standing from our perspective?

After Jiang Siming agreed, he soon received a call from the other party.

They agreed to meet in Shanghai the next day at noon.

To prepare for the meeting, Jiang Siming could only accompany the two girls for two games before going offline to rest.

The two girls were very understanding and ended their streams and went offline together.

Jiang Siming turned off his computer. It was already one in the morning, and he wanted to go back to sleep, as he hadn't gotten enough sleep that morning.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Jiang Siming walked out wearing only his underwear, intending to go back to his bedroom to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xinyi, who got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, opened her door and saw Jiang Siming. The first thing she did was scream, cover her face, and run back to her room.

"Uh..."

Jiang Siming felt a bit awkward. He hadn't expected Wang Xinyi to still be awake so late, so he was only wearing underwear and got seen.

"Sorry about that, Xinyi. I'll be sure to wear my clothes next time."

Jiang Siming apologized at Wang Xinyi's door before returning to his room to sleep.

Meanwhile, Wang Xinyi, who had rushed back to her bedroom, was completely wide awake. She lay on her bed, her face flushed red.

Her mind was filled with the image of Jiang Siming's half-naked body, which she couldn't shake, and she couldn't fall asleep.

On the other hand, Jiang Siming was carefree. As soon as he lay on the bed, sleepiness washed over him.

He slept until the next morning.

"Good morning, Xinyi."

On his way to the bathroom to brush his teeth, Wang Xinyi also woke up, her eyes still groggy.

Jiang Siming greeted her.

Wang Xinyi quickly lowered her head and replied softly, "Good morning," then dared not say more.

"Your eyes have bags under them. Didn't sleep well last night?" Jiang Siming asked enthusiastically while brushing his pearly white teeth.

"N-no..." Wang Xinyi became even more embarrassed.

Jiang Siming didn't think much of it. After finishing his morning routine, he tidied himself up simply and left.

He had arranged to meet the Shark representative at a Japanese restaurant in Xujiahui, and by the time Jiang Siming arrived, the other party had also just arrived.

Only one person from their side had come, and it was a mature, OL-dressed young woman.

While not exceptionally beautiful, she had a pleasant face with delicate skin, wavy, lustrous hair, and a voluptuous figure. Her ample bosom seemed about to burst through her small suit jacket.

She exuded a fragrance like a delicate rose and the charm of a mature woman. A woman like this, even if her face was slightly less attractive, was definitely a stunner.

"Hello, I am Zhao Xuan, the General Manager of Shark's gaming division and a branch general manager of Shark Group."

"Hello, I am Jiang Siming."

They shook hands briefly before entering the Japanese restaurant together and heading to a pre-booked private room.

After they were seated, Zhao Xuan thoughtfully asked about Jiang Siming's dietary restrictions and ordered several specialty Japanese dishes.

After the waiter left, they got down to business.

"I thought Shark's representative was Brother Sun?" Jiang Siming asked, a little surprised.

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Sun Youcai is just a deputy manager. He's the nominal representative."

"I see. Then I'm truly honored that President Zhao personally came to talk to me," Jiang Siming said politely.

In reality, negotiating contracts with streamers didn't require a high-level executive like Zhao Xuan to be in charge.

However, Sun Youcai was willing to go as far as offering an S-Class Contract to sign Jiang Siming.

When reporting this, Zhao Xuan was somewhat curious. Coupled with Shark's ongoing IPO, which required internal reviews to weed out dissent, Zhao Xuan felt uneasy and decided to personally handle the negotiation with Jiang Siming to see if he was truly worth it.

The first time she saw Jiang Siming at the entrance of the Japanese restaurant, she was very surprised.

She had done her homework before coming and knew Jiang Siming's strengths.

Voice acting monster, incredibly skilled, master of creating memes, and so on.

Logically, someone with such a pleasant voice shouldn't have a great appearance in reality.

If God opens a door for you, he'll surely close a window.

But Zhao Xuan hadn't expected Jiang Siming's appearance to be so 'stunning.' A guy like this could practically 'run roughshod' through the entertainment industry.

Even someone like her, who usually showed no favor to men, felt a flutter in her heart. If Jiang Siming were to reveal his face on stream, he'd probably attract a massive following of female fans.

Just based on that alone, Zhao Xuan felt the S-Class contract wasn't so unreasonable.

"You're too modest. Besides, I'm not that out of touch with reality. I should be thanking you for the opportunity to sign such a promising new streamer for the company."

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, her words perfectly measured.

"Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to business. I'm sure someone has already briefed you on the contract details. I won't haggle or try to take advantage. To be direct, an S-Class contract, a ten-year term – that's not treating you unfairly, is it?"

As she spoke, Zhao Xuan took out a contract from her briefcase.

In reality, she had three different contracts in her briefcase, categorized as A, B, and S.

All were prepared for Jiang Siming.

Zhao Xuan had initially planned to use a B-Class contract to secure him if he didn't meet her expectations, or at most an A-Class.

But now she had changed her mind. Haggling might easily displease him, and if another platform swooped in, it would be problematic. So, she decided to present the S-Class contract.

Jiang Siming took the contract and began to read it slowly. Zhao Xuan didn't disturb him, quietly sipping her water and occasionally glancing at him.

No matter how she looked at him, she felt his looks were wasted if he didn't become a star.

Especially when he frowned while reading the contract, his focused and serious expression was indeed quite captivating to her.

"Impossible, no man is any good."

Zhao Xuan poured a basin of cold water over her heart, and the strange feeling from earlier vanished.

After finishing the contract, Jiang Siming looked up and said to Zhao Xuan, "The contract is fine. The benefits are very generous; I have no reason to refuse."

A salary of ten million a year, Jiang Siming would take sixty percent of the gift revenue, with a requirement of 300 streaming hours per month, and no specific gift collection target each month.

For a newcomer like Jiang Siming, who had never streamed before, this was practically divine treatment – a Cinderella story.

This contract was entirely S-Class; the only difference was the contract duration.

Hearing Jiang Siming's words, Zhao Xuan's lips curved into a smile of victory. "Then let's sign the contract."

But Jiang Siming smiled and shook his head. "However, I still refuse."

Zhao Xuan was stunned, her delicate brows furrowing. The slight good impression she had of Jiang Siming vanished. She thought he was trying to demand more money greedily.

"Mr. Jiang, you must know that this contract is top-tier in the entire streaming industry. What are you still not satisfied with?"

Jiang Siming replied with a refined smile, "Director Zhao, you've misunderstood. I'm not asking for more money."

"Then what do you mean?"

Jiang Siming pushed the contract back, his slender fingers tapping on a clause at the end of the contract.
