Chapter 676: Poaching Talent
"No, I’m asking for a friend, they’re your fans." Lin Tian explained truthfully.
Zhou Mi and Liou Qingcheng are true fans of Jiang Pan Die, their phones play her songs on a loop every day. Lin Tian didn’t originally know her, but now he can sing most of her songs.
At this moment, the tiger-themed shirt Lin Tian was holding belonged to Zhou Mi. The lion-themed one was his own, and he’d later give it to Liou Qingcheng, fulfilling her dream of meeting a star.
"Pan Die, let’s go quickly. Otherwise, Mr. Wang will come here." Tong urged from the side.
Jiang Pan Die took the shirt and pen, "Signing two names is no big deal, it won’t take much time."
With a bold stroke, Jiang Pan Die signed her name on both shirts. She knew it was an easy task but it could make her fans happy, and that was worth it.
"Thank you." Lin Tian accepted the shirts, looked at the signature, and nodded. "Hmm, it’s regular script, nice, quite delicate."
Jiang Pan Die’s face stiffened for a moment. Her name has too many strokes for it to be regular script, it’s clearly cursive!
Of course, she didn’t bother explaining, as that would take unknown amounts of time now, and the urgent task was to make a quick getaway.
"Miss Jiang! Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a voice reached Lin Tian from behind.
This voice was all too familiar to Lin Tian; wasn’t it Mr. Wang, Wang Sicong himself? What’s he doing here?
Jiang Pan Die’s face immediately turned sour. She tugged at Tong beside her and was about to flee.
"Pan Die, since he’s already caught up, why don’t we hear what he has to say? Maybe it’ll offer more than ’Heyue’?" Tong asked.
Jiang Pan Die glared at her angrily. "Even if it does, what use is more money if I can’t protect myself?"
As she spoke, Jiang Pan Die quickened her pace.
"Pan Die, stop running. I know you heard my voice, continuing to run would be disrespectful to me." Wang Sicong shouted loudly.
This time the voice was so loud, Jiang Pan Die couldn’t fake it anymore and had to stop.
Wang Sicong’s face lit up and he strode forward.
Suddenly, Wang Sicong tripped over something, and with a scream, he was sent flying face-first to the ground, falling like a dog eating dirt.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, are you alright?"
The people behind Wang Sicong rushed to help him up carefully.
"Damn it, who the hell tripped me?" Wang Sicong shook his dizzy head with anger and turned around.
"Lin... Lin Tian..."
Wang Sicong’s mouth hung open, how could he run into this guy everywhere? And every time he saw him, Lin Tian had this annoying smile on his face. A mix of pride and mockery.
Whenever he saw such a smile, Wang Sicong felt upset. He remembered the losses he suffered to him and the three companies his family lost.
"Mr. Wang, hello. We meet again. Sorry for tripping you just now, but I did it on purpose." Lin Tian waved, smilingly greeted.
Wang Sicong’s face was gloomy; he couldn’t smile at all. He even wanted to run, run as far away as possible.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, grinned, and said, "You’re going to perform tonight, right? It’s a street dance, isn’t it?"
Lin Tian nodded, "Mr. Wang’s information is really up-to-date."
Wang Sicong pointed at the people standing behind him and laughed, "Coincidentally, we also have a street dance performance tonight. And it’s specially choreographed, wondering whose performance will be better tonight."
"What a coincidence, we also have a specially choreographed dance tonight. Although we’re performing after you, I bet our results will be better." Lin Tian smiled.
"Hahaha, I hope so." Wang Sicong laughed heartily, seemed Lin Tian didn’t know their choreography had been stolen.
When his people take the stage first to showcase, he wondered what their reactions would be.
They’ll definitely be surprised, right?
Thinking about Zhou Mi and Lin Tian’s huge shock, Wang Sicong felt very pleased.
Lin Tian knew this guy’s thinking, but it was odd. He had already choreographed a new dance, which was several levels better than before, yet Wang Sicong seemed clueless; the insider hadn’t informed him?
Lin Tian only pondered this for a moment and then stopped thinking about it; better not knowing.
"Alright, see you on the stage. I have things to do, so I won’t chat with you."
With that, Wang Sicong didn’t wait for Lin Tian’s reply and strode towards Jiang Pan Die. He waved his hand and greeted, "Miss Jiang, really a coincidence, where are you headed?"
Jiang Pan Die hadn’t spoken yet, Tong beside her already put on a smile, and said, "Mr. Wang, hello. We’re not doing much, just... taking a stroll, taking a stroll."
Wang Sicong laughed, "What a coincidence! I was thinking of taking a stroll too, shall we go together? By the way, we can continue the conversation we didn’t finish last time."
"Mr. Wang, Pan Die won’t go, you better find someone else." Jiang Pan Die said apologetically.
"Pan Die, it’s not right to refuse me when we haven’t talked things through. If you switch to my side, Mr. Wang will handle all the breach fees for you. Plus, I’ll give you the highest signing level and shares of the company, how about that?" Wang Sicong smiled.
Tong’s eyes started to sparkle with gold. Not mentioning the top contract terms, the company shares were the most tempting.
That’s the entertainment company of the Wang Group, the annual profits are astronomical figures. Owning those shares means Jiang Pan Die doesn’t have to do anything and can live off them for several lifetimes.
"Wondering... how much shares Mr. Wang plans to give?"
Wang Sicong held up three fingers, "Three percent."
Tong gasped. If the company’s annual profit is 200 million, then Jiang Pan Die doesn’t have to do anything and gets 4 million, and besides paying taxes, won’t be skinned by anyone.
Where else to find such a good deal?
Tong even felt a bit jealous.
"Pan Die, agree, won’t you? Mr. Wang promised to cover your previous breach fees anyway." Tong said.
Jiang Pan Die really wanted to strangle Tong now, isn’t this pushing me into a trap?
If she really joined the Wang Group, wouldn’t she be subject to Wang Sicong’s whims?
What’s the use of more money then?
But outright refusal also leads to tragic outcomes. Wang Sicong is ruthless in his actions; there was once a female star who refused to join his company, and her reputation was ruined, effectively shelved.
Although that star never did those shady deeds, Wang Sicong turned falsehood into truth, making people believe.
Don’t think he can’t do it; if enough money is thrown, it can be done easily, just like the method he used to dig up scandals of the Bai Family.
