“Ah?” Tian Juan still looked surprised. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t sign a contract for now?”
“This matter started because of me, and you were just trying to help.” Wen Nian said softly, “If you become my agent, my image represents the company. If I am defamed, it means a loss for the company. As an agent and an economic company trying to recover losses, questioning the authenticity of the education bureau’s results, my malicious slander, and the agent’s request to check my real grades shouldn’t be an issue.”
Hearing this, Tian Juan was truly astonished; these were supposed to be her lines!
Ever since Wen Nian’s grades became a hot topic, Tian Juan had been planning all this. The goal was not only to clear Wen Nian’s name but also to make her understand the importance of a company.
Unexpectedly, a teenager like Wen Nian could think so clearly.
Seeing Tian Juan still surprised, Wen Nian patiently explained, “I am sure this is my answer sheet. If my grades are falsified, with many people online fueling the flames, you can let the economic company investigate. It’s certain that someone is hiring internet trolls, proving the intention to damage my reputation and infringe on my right to reputation. We have the right to sue.”
Tian Juan nodded. Not only were people smearing Wen Nian online, but someone inside the education bureau had also taken money to manipulate her grades. Moreover, her senior had already found a clue.
The answer sheet was fine, the grades on the answer sheet were fine, but why did Wen Nian’s results become an issue during the final province-wide score calculation?
Falsifying grades was the first step, defamation was the second, and there might be other tricks in the future.
“I’ll inform my parents later. We should act sooner rather than later. Let’s sign a temporary contract first to resolve this matter.”
Hearing Wen Nian’s words, Tian Juan was genuinely pleased this time. A temporary contract was fine; as long as Wen Nian saw the resources and benefits she could bring, Tian Juan wasn’t worried about her not signing a long-term contract.
“Okay, let’s meet again at noon. I’ll go handle some other matters now and make sure you won’t be implicated.” Tian Juan promised with determination.
Wen Nian shook her head, “The next exam results can also prove me, and there’s the college entrance exam results too. But if the people who helped you yesterday get implicated…”
She didn’t continue, but Tian Juan understood what she meant. She didn’t want to involve others, didn’t want others to lose their jobs for her sake.
Tian Juan’s lips curled up; she didn’t misjudge this young girl. She was indeed a promising talent.
Back in the classroom, Wen Nian saw Shen Jun looking displeased. She quickly took out the prepared breakfast and explained the meeting with Tian Juan. “Tian Juan?” Shen Jun inhaled sharply. Why would this bigshot agent come looking for Wen Nian? Could it be at Madam Zhao’s request?
“Yeah, you haven’t heard of that name, right?” Wen Nian didn’t find it strange. Even when Tian Juan was famous in the industry, others wouldn’t know her by this name.
“She’s an assistant from Ding Sheng Media, not well-known, and doesn’t have many resources.”
Wen Nian thought about Tian Juan’s pitiful appearance just now and added with some sympathy, “I doubt big companies like this provide many resources to their assistants. Did you see what she was wearing earlier? Even simpler than Teacher Li. She doesn’t look like an entertainment company employee at all. I assume her salary isn’t high. I can’t burden her and her friends further. Anyway, I need to clarify things, and having an economic company will be more convenient.”
Shen Jun’s mouth twitched. Thinking about how Tian Juan helped Zhao Jiao invest in a variety show two years ago, making a net profit of several million. And Madam Zhao casually gave Tian Juan a house.
Now, looking at Wen Nian sympathizing with Tian Juan for not having money, he suddenly felt that Wen Nian was indeed quite naive.
But he wasn’t planning to stop her. Since Wen Nian wanted to be an actress, joining an agent company was just a matter of time.
Rather than letting her go to another company, it was better for her to be at Ding Sheng. Even if Madam Zhao was unreliable, Tian Juan was very reliable. Maybe she could indeed provide Wen Nian with some good resources, at least ensuring she wouldn’t encounter messy situations.
By noon, Wen Nian briefly explained the situation to her family. Since she wasn’t yet 18 years old, in the end, Zhou Mei signed the short-term contract.
The moment she received the contract, Tian Juan felt like crying. She quickly took a picture and sent it to her boss.
“Boss, it’s all settled! We can take action now!”
