Mi Rui waved at Ning Shuang. After she sat down on the sofa, she asked, “How’s the situation with the company Sister Ning has been in contact with recently?”

Hearing Mi Rui mention this, Ning Shuang raised her hand and rubbed her nose tiredly. She closed her eyes and relaxed her body, letting herself sink completely into the soft sofa.

After a while, Ning Shuang opened her eyes again.

“None of them are very good,” Ning Shuang said in an unclear tone.

Although there were indeed many companies offering Mi Rui olive branches now, most of them did not offer good conditions. They could not even guarantee that they could offer two large-scale television dramas for Mi Rui every year, let alone advertisement endorsements.

The conditions were not bad. Those who could guarantee Mi Rui’s resources also required Mi Rui to sign a ten-year contract with the company, and the penalty for breaching the contract was extremely high.

Either way, it was not the best choice for their current situation.

In fact, some companies only wanted Mi Rui to lead the newbies of the company or make a profit from her because of her current popularity.

Mi Rui had already fallen from grace once. This time, she could rely on “The Consort” to revive herself. Who could be sure that Mi Rui’s current popularity could be preserved, and that she wouldn’t fall again?

It was precisely because they no longer had any more chances to try and make mistakes that they needed to be more careful and not make any mistakes.

If something went wrong, what awaited Mi Rui and her would be an endless cliff.

However, Mi Rui could not disappear for too long from the public’s eye. If she did not have any new activities, with just merely ‘The Consort’, Mi Rui’s popularity would dissipate sooner or later

Therefore, they had to find a reliable company before “The Consort” finished airing and have Mi Rui obtain a certain amount of resources to ensure her subsequent popularity.

However, it was not easy to find a company that could do all of this.

Mi Rui looked at Ning Shuang’s exhausted appearance and was silent for a while before saying to Ning Shuang, “Sister Ning, what do you think? Should we just sign with Star Brilliance now?”

Hearing Mi Rui’s words, Sister Ning immediately sat up straight and frowned at her.

“Didn’t we already agree to the Star Brilliance as the last backup option? Previously, when we were on set, the director and producer were probing our attitudes. 1 think Star Brilliance definitely thinks highly of you. In that case, we’re not in a hurry to confirm things with Star Brilliance.”

The conditions given by the Star Brilliance were indeed good, but she wanted to take a look. Or rather, she wanted to test the limits of Star Brilliance.

Whether it was people or things, they could only sense how precious they were after they had been fought over.

Now, the more people fought over Mi Rui, the more it meant that Mi Rui’s value was not low. She did not believe that Star Brilliance would not be anxious when they saw so many companies fighting for Mi Rui.

She was not asking for an S-rank contract like Jiang Xi and Lu Mo, but she felt that Mi Rui was still worth an A-rank contract.

“Sister Ning, didn’t you realize? Ever since ‘The Consort’ wrapped up, we haven’t received any further invitations from Star Brilliance.”

As soon as Mi Rui said this, Ning Shuang’s expression froze for a moment.

She thought that the director and producer valued Mi Rui more when they were on set, so she was certain that it was certain that Star Brilliance wanted to sign Mi Rui.

After leaving the production team, she received invitations from many companies. She did not pay too much more attention to Star Brilliance, this company that would definitely want Mi Rui.

But now that Mi Rui said that, she suddenly remembered that Star Brilliance had never taken the initiative to invite them.

Ning Shuang carefully recalled what had happened during this period of time, and her heart suddenly tensed up.

She clenched her fists tightly. “Rui Rui, have you heard some bad news?”

Mi Rui took a deep breath and nodded at Ning Shuang.

“Star Brilliance knows all these secret tricks of ours.” Mi Rui thought of the way the employees of Star Brilliance looked at her when she went to Star Brilliance today and felt her throat tighten. “Although Star Brilliance wants to sign me, it doesn’t have to be me. If we continue like this, Star Brilliance, Star Brilliance might not be willing to accept us.”

Initially, she was as excited as Ning Shuang and felt that she could have a longer time to survey and choose the company with the best conditions.

However, she realized that ever since they started contacting other companies, the attitude of Star Brilliance had become much colder. In the past few days, Star Brilliance had not even sent her any messages.

She had vaguely sensed the meaning behind it previously, which was why she went to Star Brilliance to probe their attitude today.

After reaching Star Brilliance, she realized that her worries were not completely unreasonable..
