Chapter 71: The Behemoth

Just as Ling Xiaoli arrived at the dressing room to change clothes, her phone started vibrating.

‘Zhang Qiang? Hmm? From Dou Beast Livestream? Why is he calling me? Is it because I haven’t livestreamed for several days?’

Zhang Qiang was an operations manager at Dou Beast Livestream. After Ling Xiaoli signed her contract last time, she had been assigned to him for management.

Although the two of them had never actually contacted each other.

Without time to think too much, Ling Xiaoli answered the call.

“Hello, is this Miss Ling? Ah, I’m Zhang Qiang from Dou Beast Livestream, your operations manager. Is this a convenient time for you?”

“Mm-hmm, Brother Zhang, you’re too polite. You can just call me Xiaoli. I’m free right now. Just tell me what’s going on.”

“Miss Ling, I wouldn’t dare. I just wanted to let you know that the company has arranged an agent for you.

“If you have some time right now, I can have your agent give you a call. You two can have a chat?”

Zhang Qiang wiped his forehead, even though there wasn’t actually any sweat there.

He was the junior operations employee who had witnessed President Lin losing his composure in the beginning, which was why Liu Wenchu had assigned Ling Xiaoli to him.

Zhang Qiang had also seen the contract Ling Xiaoli had been given.

He had worked in the livestreaming industry as an operations manager for five or six years, and he had never seen a contract like that before.

All he could say was that a contract prepared for the future boss’s wife was indeed different.

“Oh? Okay, sure.”

An agent?

Dou Beast Livestream actually arranged agents for its streamers?

That was rather unusual.

Not long after Ling Xiaoli hung up with Zhang Qiang, another call came in.

“Hello, is this Miss Ling Xiaoli?”

“Yes, yes. And you are… um, the agent the company arranged for me?”

“That’s right. My name is Fang Mei. From now on, you can just call me Sister Mei.”

After that, Ling Xiaoli learned several things from Sister Mei.

First of all, the company had learned that she had auditioned for the role of Su Daji in The Investiture of the Gods.

So they had pulled some strings and secured the role for her!

Ling Xiaoli was stunned.

Was Dou Beast Livestream really this good?

Just because they knew she had auditioned, they had helped her get the role?

According to her contract, the company wouldn’t receive a single cent from her acting income!

Then Ling Xiaoli learned that Fang Mei wasn’t actually from Dou Beast Livestream. She belonged to another company within the group—Starlight Entertainment.

Since Dou Beast Livestream had seen that she had no intention of continuing with livestreaming, they had specifically arranged this agent for her.

Ling Xiaoli looked Fang Mei up online.

Fang Mei was Starlight Entertainment’s chief agent and had managed quite a few major stars. However, this particular woman liked working with newcomers.

In other words, although Ling Xiaoli’s contract was still technically with Dou Beast Livestream, Starlight Entertainment had now taken over the actual management of her.

If she was willing, she could even sign a new contract with Starlight Entertainment.

Ling Xiaoli thought about it.

She really should sign a new contract.

At the very least, she should sign a normal one. That strange contract she had with Dou Beast Livestream had always made her feel vaguely uneasy.

After all, the free things were always the most expensive.

But Starlight Entertainment…

Why did that name sound familiar?

Ling Xiaoli immediately continued searching online.

She soon discovered that there was information about Starlight Entertainment everywhere.

Starlight Entertainment, together with Xingyue Pictures, QQ Music, and Dou Beast Livestream, covered practically every aspect of the entertainment industry.

Whether you were a livestreamer or wanted to make movies, whether you wanted to sing or film television dramas, Starlight Entertainment had businesses covering it all.

They even had their own television station over in Xiangjiang!

There were countless stars under the company, including numerous top-tier actors, actresses, male singers, and female singers!

Hiss—

Ling Xiaoli sucked in a sharp breath, successfully raising the surrounding temperature by two degrees.

What kind of behemoth was this?

Why had it suddenly extended an olive branch to her for no apparent reason?

Suddenly, Ling Xiaoli had a flash of inspiration.

Wait!

Wasn’t Starlight Entertainment the male lead’s company?
