Xu Chen genuinely felt that this salary was a hot potato. Although Xia Zhiyi's work frequency brought her commissions that were nowhere near as high as Fu Yunyi's, Tianhuan Entertainment's agents operated on a base salary plus commission model, guaranteeing a basic salary for every employee.
Unlike Huanyu Huanyu, where employees are treated badly, artists who don't have gigs not only don't receive wages, but also have to pay Huanyu's so-called "training fees." If they want to terminate their contracts, they have to pay a penalty, which is also Huanyu's source of income.
Therefore, even if Xia Zhiyi doesn't work, after the contract is signed, Xu Chen, as the agent, will receive a base salary bonus for managing an additional artist, and Xia Zhiyi will continue to receive a base salary.
Don't ask, the answer is that Tianhuan is rich. As long as it's not deliberately sabotaging, the company is willing to slowly cultivate its employees.
However, even when other artists don't have scheduled work, the company doesn't completely ignore their requirements. Internal training hours and maintaining a certain physique are standards that determine whether an artist receives their full salary. But so far, those who have been signed by Tianhuan are not the kind of people who just want to coast along.
But getting Xu Chen to return the money... is impossible. Even if she didn't get a lot of gigs for the boss lady, the boss lady had given her a lot of frights during this time, which should be considered compensation for emotional distress!
Fu Yunyi had no idea what his manager was thinking.
All he knew was that Xia Zhiyi seemed to be resting the whole time, while he was constantly working.
Fu Yunyi:...
sad.
But it didn't work.
Whether by coincidence or by fate, when Fu Yunyi got out of the car, he actually saw Gu Miaomiao getting out of another car in the parking lot.
Gu Miaomiao also saw him, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
Fu Yunyi: "Hmm, what a coincidence."
His gaze unconsciously drifted behind her, and upon discovering that the driver who got out of the car was also a woman, Fu Yunyi didn't even realize that he had secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, for some reason, I suddenly feel that coming to work today is really great.

" The Chasing " attracted a lot of attention during its promotional period, and after its official release, it was both surprising and unsurprising that Director Mu's latest work once again received a lot of positive reviews.
Fu Yunyi, a popular young actor who already dominated last year's traffic, delivered a standout performance in this drama. This performance also served as a wake-up call for those who had previously been secretly marketing against him and putting him down. After the drama's release, they disappeared from the public eye as if nothing had happened, but they couldn't avoid being used by some people for open and covert ridicule.
These things were merely glanced at by Fu Yunyi himself, and he didn't take them to heart at all.
But Fu Yunyi is no newcomer, and many people already Xia Zhiyi attracted a lot of attention during the promotion stage, and then people were amazed by the so-called newcomer's acting skills.
It has to be said that action scenes filmed by skilled actors look different from staged fight scenes. After confirming repeatedly that none of Xia Zhiyi's scenes in the drama used wire work, and with the crew even producing video evidence, Xia Zhiyi became an overnight sensation.
Whether attracted by Yan Yan's charm or by the contrast between Xia Zhiyi's cute face and powerful martial arts, Xia Zhiyi's social media followers skyrocketed the day after Yan Yan's appearance, surpassing ten million overnight and breaking the platform's record to date.
Many people also went to catch up on the variety shows and some of the announcements that Xia Zhiyi had participated in. The more they watched, the more they felt that Xia Zhiyi was really amazing. She is both cute and capable, and her personality seems very likable. Her admiration for strength can actually be triggered by her mother's and father's feelings at the same time, which is really irresistible.
However, after fans caught up on the content, they quickly noticed, " Teacher Xia, what are your recent activities?"
Why can't I see even a trace of it?
New fan: Teacher Xia is still a student, right? Maybe she's spending the Lunar New Year with her family, which is why she didn't show up.
Old fan: (smoking) Newbie, don't overthink it, our Xiaxia... he's just that elusive. Enjoy the content while it lasts, who knows when Xiaxia will be back in action next time.
With more fans, there are more voices.
But Xia Zhiyi is Xia Zhiyi. No matter how much his fans, both old and new, clamored for him online, he checked his schedule and decided that he shouldn't think about doing anything for his fans in the short term.
Even if he's incredibly strong, he doesn't want to exhaust himself.
However, on the day of the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, Xia Zhiyi asked Xu Chen to contact the official social media platform and personally created a mini-program to hold a lucky draw event to give back to her fans.
There are many prizes, including cash, some products that most people can use, and some cosmetics and skincare products. There are 10,000 slots available, which is quite a lot of money.
Xia Zhiyi drew two prizes, naturally using her own money. Firstly, to respond to her fans' affection, and secondly, to show that "I have money, don't worry."
There was nothing Xia Zhiyi could do; he didn't know what was going on either. He clearly remembered that his fans used to be girlfriend fans, so why were they all mom fans, older sister fans, or dad fans this time? It was very strange.
Do all people in this world want to be the elders of the strong?
After the New Year, Xia Zhiyi officially began working two jobs simultaneously, or three if going to school counts as work.
The movie needs to be made.
The project needs to be done.
I need to go to school.
A month into the semester, while universities across the country were busily competing in computer skills, Xia Zhiyi sat in her private lab, chin in hand, deep in thought—why am I so busy?
He returned to his own world, resolved the Power of the Plot that posed the greatest challenge to him, and now... shouldn't he be entering retirement?
Why is he so busy, like a dog?
This is unreasonable.
This is unreasonable.
After much deliberation, Xia Zhiyi finally found a solution: initially, she had gone to university honestly to keep a low profile, but now that she had already committed herself to the university, she couldn't remain low-key anymore. So, would it be okay for her to apply for early graduation?
no problem!
His teachers all have to come and work for him, so is it really necessary to go to school?
Xia Zhiyi: "It's all for the sake of reducing the workload, there's no other way. Anyway, there are so many geniuses at University A, they won't miss one more!"
So, in the first semester of Xia Zhiyi's second year of school, after communicating with various parties, the final result was that she didn't need to go to school, but her credits would be counted.
The reason for doing this was mainly because Xia Zhiyi herself wanted to be high-profile, but the authorities felt that this would make her easy to be targeted, so they wanted to protect her and disguise her as a normal student in terms of Xia Zhiyi personal qualifications.
Xia Zhiyi: That works too.
After Xia Zhiyi finished filming his scenes in the movie, he spent some time at the research institute, and he... got bored.
Xia Zhiyi: "I don't think I need to keep an eye on things here." After all, what he knows is more advanced than what anyone else knows, which directly resulted in Xia Zhiyi finishing her work while others were still working hard to catch up, leaving Xia Zhiyi with nothing to do.
Li Jing: "So?"
Xia Zhiyi: "So I'm going to film a movie to clear my head."
Li Jing: "..."
Fine, you're my boss anyway, I can't control you.
After that, Xia Zhiyi entered into the typical life of a "big boss," waiting for the filming schedule to be completed while simultaneously filming.
Xu Chen: Stunned--
