Chapter 228 A Handsome Man in Distress
"Last year's contract terms included a guaranteed annual salary of one million plus a share of the record sales."
Bai Li pushed the contract across the table, lightly tapping the "Obligations of Party B" clause with the cap of her pen, and whispered:
"Right now, we can only offer contracts to new employees. The monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, and they must obey all company arrangements. You can take a look at the contract first and then consider whether you want to sign it."
Normally, the signing process for Day and Night Entertainment can be done through the personnel channel.
However, his situation was rather special, so Bai Li stepped in personally.
Bai Li slightly raised her head, her gaze falling on Jia Lai, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Compared to our last meeting, Jia Lai's changes are truly remarkable.
The last time he came to see me, he had dyed his hair mint green and was covered in jingling little trinkets. When he walked, his curly hair and the trinkets bounced around together.
At that time, he had just won the championship of the first Pear Garden New Voice Competition. He was in high spirits and full of energy. He seemed to be in the right state and in the right person, which is why Bai Li had the urge to sign him.
This time, Jia Lai was clearly "dejected," like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.
Her clothes were much simpler than last time. Although she still stubbornly wore some accessories in an attempt to maintain her usual persona, the sense of impact had disappeared.
His hair has returned to its original black color, and the curly hair looks fluffy, making him look even younger with his baby face.
If the Jia Lai I met last time was a rebellious, trendsetting, non-mainstream punk teenager, then the one sitting across from me now is more like a down-to-earth cute creature enveloped in a dark and melancholic atmosphere.
Jia Lai took the contract that Bai Li pushed towards him and began to study it carefully.
He used to hate contracts because they were restrictive, but now he has no choice.
Bai Li watched this scene quietly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: People's personalities really can change drastically after experiencing major changes.
After all, he was tricked by someone related to him by blood, who swindled him out of millions, and now he still owes millions.
If someone else had encountered such a sudden and unexpected disaster, they would probably have suffered a mental breakdown long ago.
However, the fact that Jia Lai took the initiative to approach him and seek a contract opportunity shows that he has not given up on himself.
Although he looks dejected now, he is noticeably more composed than before.
Jia Lai read the entire contract.
He didn't have the money to bring a lawyer, so he could only rely on his own judgment and his trust in Shan Gui and Bai Li to decide whether to sign the contract.
After just one glance, Jia Lai had a good idea of what was going on with the contract; there shouldn't be any problems.
Although it was only a newcomer contract, Day and Night Entertainment had already provided him with quite excellent treatment.
After joining the company, he will have the right to adapt and sing all songs under the copyright of Day and Night Entertainment; the company's production team will assist him in creating his personal music works from time to time; he will also be provided with exclusive training support and a professional star-making logistics team.
Of course, in exchange, Day and Night Entertainment will take 50% of all of his future revenue.
Compared to other companies that often impose unfair terms that extract 7% to 9% or more, Day and Night Entertainment is practically an angel.
At the end, Jia Lai paid special attention to the contract duration.
Although he has never liked contracts, it doesn't mean he lacks judgment.
The contract is for a term of ten years. If a party changes jobs or breaches the contract, a corresponding penalty will be charged.
Ten years is a very reasonable timeframe, neither too long nor too short.
After all, the company needs to invest a lot of money to train him, and if the contract term is too short, the company will not be able to recoup its investment effectively.
Overall, this is a very standard new employee contract, and all the terms are in good condition.
Day and Night Entertainment is the best option he can use to save himself right now, and he is willing to obey all the company's arrangements.
only……
Seeing that Jia Lai looked troubled after reading the contract, Bai Li asked directly, "Is there a problem?"
Jia Lai suddenly felt a little awkward: "Um... Mr. Bai, given my current financial situation, could I get an advance on part of my future salary?"
Bai Li knew about his special circumstances; he was anxious to repay the money, so she had already confirmed the relevant matters with the human resources department before coming.
When signing the contract, I specifically brought someone from the human resources department with me.
Upon hearing Jia Lai's question, the HR lady sitting on the other side immediately smiled and replied, "Yes, that's fine. We'll give you an advance of one year's basic salary."
Upon hearing this, Jia Lai's tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
A year's basic salary, although it will take some time to completely pay off the debt, will be enough to repay part of it, at least enough to stop living in constant fear.
Thinking of this, Jia Lai raised his head, his eyes met Bai Li's, and he said solemnly and gratefully, "President Bai, thank you, I'll sign."
Bai Li raised an eyebrow slightly and asked again in a soft voice, "Have you thought it through? This newcomer contract is completely different from your previous one."
Jia Lai tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly bitter smile.
He knew in his heart that he had no other choice, and that day and night entertainment was his greatest salvation at the moment.
Bai Li didn't blame him for rejecting her back then; the fact that she was still willing to sign him was already the greatest fortune. How could he dare to ask for more?
At his early twenties, the next ten years will be the golden age of his career. Once he signs this contract, his future career path will inevitably be inextricably linked to the entertainment industry.
If Bai Li is willing to lend him a hand, then he will work hard for the next ten years to pay off his debts and earn money for her.
"I've thought it through, I'll sign."
The moment Jia Lai picked up the pen and signed his name, a notification sounded from backstage indicating his favorability rating:
[Jialai's favorability +30]
【Jialai's Favorability: 60】
Bai Li was completely stunned.
How much was added?
She thought she was hallucinating.
It directly added 30 points to my favorability?
Xiao Hao exclaimed, "Congratulations, host! You're getting closer to completing the mission! You still need two more targets with a favorability score of 50!"
While Jia Lai was still confirming the details of various jobs with the HR teacher, Bai Li hurriedly asked Xiao Hao in her mind, "How did Jia Lai gain so much favorability points all at once?"
Xiao Hao didn't answer directly, but instead prompted, "You should have already figured it out, host. Yes, that's exactly what you're thinking!"
Bai Li had indeed guessed what was going on.
Jia Lai's situation is probably similar to Shi Shui's.
Normally, the favorability rating increases little by little as you get to know each other better.
However, their situations are quite special; they all encountered enormous difficulties and their numbers increased after I stepped in to help them.
Therefore, gratitude for being redeemed can directly boost favorability, even raising it to over 60 points.
Bai Li knew that she had saved Shi Shui's mother in a critical moment, and Shi Shui's favorability rating likely jumped to over 60 points at that time. However, her appearance score was not high enough, so Bai Li was unaware of this.
Bai Li's eyes lit up; she had suddenly discovered a viable path.
I can then dedicate myself to helping these "poor little ones"!
But the question is, where can we find handsome men in distress?
While Bai Li was still pondering, HR had already confirmed with Jia Lai and turned to Bai Li to confirm, "President Bai, all the procedures here are complete. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
Bai Li could only stop thinking for now: "Okay, then I'll tell you about the work arrangements for the next step."
"Next, Day and Night Entertainment will be hosting a talent show. Prepare well for the next two months. Good luck!"
Jia Lai stared blankly: "What? A talent show?"
