How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Reception room.

A girl with long, wavy hair, wearing a goose-yellow dress and a cute hairpin, sat calmly on the sofa...

Although the dress was loose-fitting, it could not conceal her proud figure, sketching a tantalizing curve...

A middle-aged woman in a small suit softly spoke in Korean to her, "Jisoo, I won't say much, just accompany this rich businessman from Hua Country for three days, and you'll get 90 million Korean Won.

Your contract termination fee is 2 billion Won. As long as the company gets back these 2 billion, you'll be free. Then whether you want to be a freelance singer or switch to another company, you can."

Hearing this, Kim Jisoo's delicate face remained calm as if the agent's words had no effect on her...

But from her blue nail polish, nearly scraped off by herself, it was clear her heart was not as calm as she appeared...

"Can't I just do commercial performances to earn money for the company? If one is not enough, I'll take on ten, no matter if they're expensive or cheap, I can do them all! I used to work over 10 hours a day, now I can work fifteen! Even twenty hours are fine!"

At Jisoo's words, the middle-aged woman showed a disdainful smile.

"Commercial performances? If they could make money for the company, why would we send you to Hua Country?

There are over 100,000 artists in Korea, with new girl groups debuting every day. The competition is too fierce. I admit that when the ALICE girl group debuted, they had some fame and made money for the company, but that was in the past.

We thought that ALICE might still have a market in Hua Country, earning a sum before disbanding. But since our arrival in Yangcheng City almost a month ago, we've only got one commercial performance, and the price was just 80,000 RMB, which is 15 million Korean Won. Divided between seven members, how many years do you think it will take to earn enough to pay the 2 billion Won termination fee at this rate?

If you can't pay the termination fee, you'll still need to stay with the company for another 11 years. Are you sure you can endure another 11 years?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Jisoo's expression instantly became agitated, and she stood up, shouting at the middle-aged woman, "So you want me to prostitute myself?!"

Perhaps because she exerted too much force, her delicate face looked somewhat fierce...

As if she had seen this scene many times, the middle-aged woman showed no reaction, but slowly rose to her feet, walked over to Jisoo, took out a lipstick from her makeup bag, and gently applied it to her lips: "This is the fate of Korean artists. Didn't you foresee this when you entered the industry?

Not everyone can become Lim Yun-er or IU.

If you can't reach their level, you'll just have to tread the same path as your predecessors.

Rich businessmen in Hua Country have a good reputation. If you behave yourself in Hua Country for a year, you'll probably be able to terminate your contract. If not, the company will still squeeze every last bit of value from you, so choose between a rich businessman in Hua Country or domestic financial conglomerates; you should have made up your mind by now."

Although the middle-aged woman's words were gentle, they hit Jisoo like a heavy hammer...

She was right...

Korean artists are like this. If you become a top-tier celebrity like IU or Lim Yun-er, of course, you'd have more choices...

But sadly, how many IUs or Lim Yun-ers are there in the whole of Korea?

"All right, touch up your makeup. That rich Chinese businessman will be arriving soon. Now, you need to pray that the person coming is somewhat normal, and not a fat, bald man with a big belly."

.....

A few minutes later, a knock sounded on the door of the reception room.

Jisoo's body tensed up, and she lifted her head to look towards the door...

As the door opened, Li Changrui stood at the entrance, respectfully stretching out his right hand as he said, "Mr. Gu, please come in; the company you requested is waiting inside."

Gu Heng didn't hesitate and stepped right in.

Jisoo's anxious gaze met with Gu Heng's directly.

But upon seeing Gu Heng's face, the majority of her nervousness instantly dissipated... Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

Before Gu Heng's arrival, Jisoo had prepared for the worst. Even if it was a middle-aged, fat, bald man, she would have brainwashed herself to submit...

The fear of financial conglomerates is ingrained in Korean artists from birth...

Every year, many cases of well-known Korean artists committing suicide are reported, and almost every case is related to financial conglomerates...

Even famous artists can't escape this fate, let alone ordinary artists. Not to mention the distant past, just from what Jisoo knew, there were no less than 10 artists who chose to end their lives after being tormented by financial conglomerates, and the outside world knew nothing...

Rather than follow the doomed path of her predecessors, it would be better to endure some hardship in Hua Country for a while, earn enough to pay off the termination fee, return to freedom, and then pursue a career as a freelance singer...

Her agent was right; comparatively speaking, the reputation of Hua Country's rich businessmen was good worldwide...

More so, Gu Heng in front of her, although not exceptionally handsome, definitely had distinct features and looked refined. Additionally, the fact that he was willing to pay 90 million Won for her company for three days also proved Gu Heng's wealth...

This kind of young and wealthy second-generation heir, even if she had to take him as her boyfriend, she would be willing...

Thinking this way, Jisoo's mindset improved significantly...

And as Gu Heng looked at Jisoo's current appearance, he felt a spark of brightness before his eyes...
