Liang He came out of the makeup room and didn’t see Shi Xiaotian, just as he was about to call her, a crew member ran over to tell him, "Your agent Xiao Tian is downstairs arguing with someone."
"Seems like it’s her family."
Liang He immediately went to check, and before he reached the first floor, he heard a burst of noisy quarreling.
As soon as they saw him, the noise stopped instantly.
"Brother Liang, it’s nothing." Shi Xiaotian’s voice quivered, just as she was about to walk towards him, Father Shi grabbed her, "Right now, the family desperately needs money, and here you are, not parting with a single cent, while your sister has even taken out two hundred thousand, don’t you have three hundred thousand, at least a hundred thousand, right?"
"I don’t have a hundred thousand either." Shi Xiaotian spoke with a chill to her voice, "I’ve only graduated for a short while, my monthly salary isn’t high, where would I get a hundred thousand? How many times do I have to say it, when I say I don’t have it, I don’t have it, and besides, isn’t the old house good enough to live in? We don’t need this money to buy a new house?"
She shook off her father’s hand, "I need to go back to work."
Father Shi wanted to stop her but was held back by Liang’s bodyguard.
While following Liang to the set, she remained silent.
"I’ll raise your salary to ten thousand; what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaotian looked up at him, astonished and overwhelmed, "Brother Liang..."
"Your current salary is five thousand yuan, I’ll raise it to ten thousand." His voice was a bit deep, "Your life can be a little easier in the future."
Tears filled her eyes immediately because she knew she wasn’t worth a salary of ten thousand yuan at the moment.
After all, she was only an agent in name, but what she actually did was an assistant’s work, commonly referred to as a service-oriented agent.
It was all errands and chauffeuring.
A real star agent does a lot of work, including facilitating the artist’s work and many other affairs; such agents are professionals, with monthly salaries ranging into the tens of thousands.
But for Liang, he doesn’t need a professional agent since he can manage all activities and work himself; he just needs an agreeable service-oriented agent.
Therefore, he could openly recruit these kinds of applicants on Weibo. Thɪs chapter is updated by novèlfire.net
"Thank you, Brother Liang."
"Do your parents not know how much your monthly salary is? They should be able to tell how much you have in savings."
"They don’t care about these things." Shi Xiaotian explained, "My sister earns several times more than me per month and has been working for a few years now, so coming up with two hundred thousand is not difficult for her, but I’ve just graduated not long ago, where would I have that much in savings? And even if I did, I wouldn’t want to give it to them."
"Were the ties in your family always this weak?"
"Yeah, every household has its own tough problems, if it weren’t for caring about that little bit of blood relation, I would have cut ties with them already because they bring me shame; a family like that in its rawest form is truly not worth any sentiment, sometimes I really want to escape."
"It’s difficult to say."
She found it hard to speak to others about the weird matters in her family, especially to Liang, as it was a source of her own low self-esteem.
Having such a family was her misfortune.
She didn’t want to talk about it, and Liang didn’t press further.
"To be reborn is a skilled art, some are born as wealthy and pampered ladies, while others are born as lowly as mud, such is the fate of people."
"Being born into whichever type of family is beyond one’s choice, but the state of one’s life can be controlled by oneself." He comforted her, "Family background acts like a private bridge, with it, one can freely and steadily cross the barriers between the banks, but without it, one might have to run farther and take the public bridges with everyone else, it may be crowded and uncomfortable, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities."
