Out of professionalism, Chen Rong listened to Song Jixing's requests with a smile.

Chen Rong did not agree with Song Jixing's desire for two days off per week!

One should know that going half a year without breaks is commonplace in the entertainment industry. When shooting outdoor locations or shuffling between commercial engagements, artists can spend months in the mountains or working nonstop. Most entertainers implicitly accept this.

More booked jobs means more money. Fame is not lasting, earning more money is the truth.

Competition in the entertainment industry is intense, and there are many rising stars that can eclipse you at any moment, causing you to suddenly lose popularity. Those artists who suddenly catch fire will seize opportunities to increase their exposure and earn more money.

Previously, because Song Jixing was studying at a top institution, her worth was considered higher than actors without a high school diploma. Plus, she had classes and could only take more jobs during winter and summer breaks, so the company let her be. But now things are different.

Song Jixing will graduate soon and have fewer classes! Moreover, she is red hot again!

Chen Rong felt that the young girl was naive for asking for weekends off after just entering society, but it was understandable. However, it is not very suitable. Let alone entertainers, many other industries don't have weekends off either.

While it can be postponed, it is completely different work concept.

Even more outrageous than asking for weekends off is wanting yearlong contracts! Signing these contracts is like letting a cooked duck fly away!

There are many people who can sing and dance, and many who are good looking, but few who can break world marathon records.

The reason Chen Rong can sit here and discuss with Song Jixing is because of Song Jixing's unique value. Song Jixing has something that others cannot replace!

Chen Rong is a businesswoman and will naturally not miss out on a valuable commodity.

"Little Song, I can't disagree to what you proposed, but you have to consider the company's operating costs. Every resource the company has pushed to you requires a lot of manpower and resources. During an artist's rising period, asking for a lot of time off is not reasonable, and yearlong contracts are even more unreasonable..." Chen Rong patiently explained, hoping Song Jixing understands how difficult it is to obtain resources from the company.

Although Song Jixing is still a young girl in college, she is no novice in the workplace. She will not shrink back when rejected by others.

Running a company is not charity work. Although Song Jixing did not contribute much in the past, she still earned the company a lot of money. She only got a small cut while the company got the lion's share.

When proposing a cooperation, you need to demonstrate your own capabilities and worth. It is a two-way process.

Exploitation is commonplace in this industry. Many companies try to tie artists down for ten years if they could.

While Song Jixing feels she did not contribute much and had a lot of free time, in her memory of attending college these past years, apart from staying at school from Monday to Friday for classes, she rushed to commercial engagements almost every weekend and even worked nonstop through the holidays.

Compared to others' packed schedules, hers looked very empty and lame.

If not for this accident, she would not have considered renewing her contract and continuing as an artist.
