Chapter 567 It's still hard to say whether they can part amicably.
"Yes, I just received a package yesterday. It's this year's new tea, and I thought I'd share it with you all."
Gu Lin said.
"Let's go then."
When the group arrived at Gu Lin's place, he was well-prepared and immediately began brewing tea.
"Indeed, the aroma is very fresh; you can tell it's a new product."
Sheng Hanyu smelled the teacup before speaking.
The tea was still very hot when it was first brewed, so he didn't drink it for the time being.
Ye Sanqing nodded in agreement.
She didn't know much about these things, but if something smelled good, it was good.
"I'm glad you like it. Actually... it's nothing serious. I just did what you suggested before, and the results were pretty good. I felt I should at least let you know as feedback."
Gu Lin said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Actually, this isn't a big deal. I feel a little bad for bothering you every few days, so if there's anything you need my help with, please let me know."
"It's nothing. How's the situation now?"
Sheng Hanyu continued his work assisting the emperor, while Ye Sanqing sat beside him, holding a cup of tea, his face deep in thought.
She might look like she's thinking, but the content is uncertain; it could be completely unrelated to the current topic. Most likely, she's thinking about what to eat for dinner...
Sheng Hanyu temporarily set aside her speculations and continued to ask, "So, this contract of yours..."
"Yes, it's working. They're no longer pressuring me. If I want to terminate the contract later, or wait for it to expire automatically, that's fine too."
Although it sounds like a matter of course, nothing in the entertainment industry is ever a matter of course. Gu Lin put it simply, but things are not always like that.
Public opinion this week has not been particularly favorable towards Gu Lin.
He posted a photo of himself without makeup as soon as he got back.
Not only did he not wear makeup to conceal his beauty mark, he didn't even wear his usual makeup.
After their guidance, Gu Lin decided that if he was going to do it, he should go all the way and at least let everyone see his attitude.
However, not adding a beauty mark under the eye is still somewhat roundabout.
His fans were naturally furious!
Because all they ever want to see is the refined side of Gu Lin as a product; no one wants to see his true self underneath, or care about his real thoughts.
So they started causing a ruckus on Weibo, all while still claiming they were doing it for their brother's own good...
Gu Lin didn't care at all.
He was actually a little concerned, but he also knew that this was just a growing pain on his path to maturity.
His agent was naturally anxious and called to question him.
Gu Lin replied, "I don't care. I can do whatever I want now. If you have any objections, you can talk to Miss Ye."
Since he brought up Ye Sanqing's name, the agent—if he's still an agent—would have to ask a couple of questions about what was going on.
"I'll most likely sign with Chang Le Wei Yang later. Considering our years of friendship, I'm giving you a friendly reminder: it's best not to go against them..."
"No, how did you do that? You wouldn't... you wouldn't..."
That's really impolite to say, and the agent wouldn't think Gu Lin is that kind of person, but what if he is?
What if it's that the young lady of the house has taken a liking to him?
And it's also possible that other important figures have taken a liking to it.
The thing that Gu Lin's agent was most worried about was that Gu Lin didn't have a real backer.
This is certainly a serious weakening!
Sometimes, in the same situation, two people are of similar ability, but because the other person has a powerful backer... they end up with someone else.
This kind of thing can be tolerated once or twice, but the problem has always existed. However, Gu Lin is "unambitious," and he can't force the other party to be tied up and given away.
If someone takes a liking to him now, then his face might still be somewhat useful...
This time, our luck has really turned around!
Since that's the agent's line of thinking, his next question is quite normal.
"Did someone ask you to do this?"
According to his logic, if the sugar daddy didn't like Gu Lin's beauty mark under his eye, then he could certainly accept it!
Moreover, some people can use persuasive language to cover up this fact.
He and Gu Lin say that fans are very important, but are they really that important?
Of course, it's not that important.
At least the agent himself doesn't really care what these fans are thinking.
As long as Gu Lin has a powerful backer and continues to maintain his current strength, he can easily create some hype and fans will flock to him.
"There are indeed people who don't like it."
Gu Lin thought for a moment and decided not to reveal who made the suggestion.
He understood his agent's thinking perfectly.
He could also tell a harmless lie, such as that Sheng Hanyu did suggest he do it. If he said that, the people and the process would be correct, only the reason would be ambiguous.
But there's no need for that; saying things too clearly will only leave yourself vulnerable.
It's hard to say whether we can part ways amicably in the future...
Gu Lin generally approves of the agent's character and believes that the agent would not actually do anything illegal or disorderly, but that is all based on the premise that they are still working together.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, what he understands best is not how to act or how to gain fans, but rather that it's best not to think too highly of people or too poorly of things.
Even in the worst of times, there's always room for maneuver; even in the best of times, a person can suddenly change their attitude.
"But it's not what you think."
Just as the agent was about to be overjoyed, Gu Lin casually added this sentence.
"No...no matter what, I'm very happy for you that you can find a good place to go."
The agent abruptly changed the subject of what he had just said, and said...
Although he knew that Gu Lin might not sign the contract with him, he and Gu Lin shared a similar mindset on this point: don't think too badly of things.
And regardless of whether they continue to cooperate in the future, there is absolutely no need to fall out now.
As Gu Lin rises higher and higher, wouldn't it be even more natural for him to mentor other newcomers?
Moreover, there's the Chang Le Wei Yang (a fictional world name), so if we can connect with them and do some cooperation, from a business perspective, it's definitely better than it is now.
Although from a personal perspective...
He suddenly felt a pang of reluctance.
Despite constantly referring to the other party as a commodity, and often thinking so in my heart, even if they are commodities, it is extremely rare to find someone who has cooperated to this extent over the years.
It is indeed a pity, but he wouldn't be so foolish as to become a stumbling block on someone else's road to success.
"Is that really the case? What about the company...?"
Gu Lin knew he was a smart man, so he deliberately hesitated before speaking.
"I'll handle it."
It's too early to propose future cooperation now; let's just do each other a favor for now.
