Chapter 89 The Extraordinary Challenge

After contacting and arranging a meeting with the three individuals, Gary reached out to Simone first.Simone and Gwen had just secured a new office location and signed the contract. To demonstrate theirrespect for the three artists, they hurried over immediately after finalizing the contract.

Inside a private room at a cafe, Gary presented all the advantages and disadvantages, explainingeverything to the three artists. He also mentioned that he had personally led his team away and turnedto Simone’s studio to show his confidence in Simone through his actions.

Initially, when the three of them heard that Gary was attempting to recruit them, they didn’t think that itwas a reliable idea. Given their current circumstances, no reputable entertainment company would beinterested in them, and they couldn’t help but wonder if they were being recruited to exploit theirremaining value. However, when they heard Gary mention that he had resigned together with his team,they realized that they might have misunderstood the situatio

One of the handsome men with an aloof temperament spoke up, “Gary, you’ve said so much, but youhaven’t informed us which company we would be joining.”

Just as Gary was about to answer, his phone rang, and he answered the call, mentioning the roomnumber. Then, he said to the three of them. “It’s not an entertainment company but a newly establishedstudio. The owners are here, and you’ll see when you meet them.”

His words further piqued the curiosity of the three artists. Did the owners personally come to meetthem? After a moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Gary stood up to openthe door, greeting with a smile. “Miss Gray and Miss Foster, please come in!”

Simone and Gwen greeted him with a smile. “Hello, Gary!” They entered the private room, stunning thethree artists sitting there, surprised to see Simone entering.

Although they weren’t familiar with Simone, she had recently gained popularity by winning severalbattles in a row, which made them pay more attention to her. In addition to her excellent performanceon variety shows, everyone was interested in her relationship with the Gray Family brothers, Leon, andthe adopted daughter.

To some certain extent, they all admired her and knew what kind of person Titus was. Any artist hetargeted would be suppressed, except Simone, who not only held her ground but also fought back.Secretly, they observed the situation and found it satisfying but didn’t expect that Simone, who hadbeen offered such a good contract by Star Entertainment, would give it up.

Simone and Gwen sat down, and Gary introduced them to each other. Gesturing at the aloof–lookingman, he said, “This is Ethan Clark.” Then, he introduced the handsome guy next to him, “This is HarryFord. Finally, he introduced a beautiful woman who appeared slightly fatigued but still stunning. “This isFiona Hilton.” Next, he introduced to the three of them, “This is Simone, the owner of the studio, andher partner, Miss Gwen Foster.” He added, “She is also the heiress of the Foster Family.”

The three of them were surprised and greeted Simone and Gwen, “Hello, Miss Gray and Miss Foster.”

Simone and Gwen smiled warmly at them and said, “Hello!”

Simone continued, “Gary has already briefed you, so I won’t waste any more time. She took out threeprepared contracts from her bag and handed them to each person according to their names. These are

the terms we offer you at our studio. There is also an additional document in the contract, whichoutlines the studio’s training plan and direction for the three of you. Take a closer look.

They boasted about how powerful and successful the studio was, but it was all empty talk. When itcame to changing companies, what the three of them valued the most was naturally the compensationand prospects.

Nevertheless, the three of them didn’t expect Simone to be so straightforward and decisive andcouldn’t help but admit that they liked this style…

Anyone could make promises, but when they first joined Gray Entertainment, it was the agent whomade promises. However, the level of compensation in the contract was not high.

Even Fiona’s contract was in the second last tier, and she had to work hard to move up. Therefore,they were all curious and opened the contracts to take a look. After reading the contracts, they were allsurprised because the terms offered by Simone far exceeded their expectations.

The profit–sharing ratio was comparable to that of the top artists at Gray Entertainment, and they hadmuch more freedom compared to staying at Gray Entertainment,

They were tempted, but even with a high profit–sharing ratio, it would be meaningless without anywork. So, they all picked up the contract again and examined the plan attached at the end. One by one,they displayed expressions of surprise.

It must be said that the compensation in the contract they had just read didn’t move them as much asthis piece of paper did, and they felt a sudden sense of recognition and respect in their hearts,especially Fiona, who had the urge to burst into tears. Simone had created a detailed work plan basedon each person’s characteristics, strengths, and preferences.

Fiona was the first to put down the contract and the plan and looked at Simone. “I really appreciatethen plan you’ve made for me. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I joined the industry”

She joined the film academy and the industry because she genuinely loved acting, and Simone’s planfor her was to focus on acting rather than using her infamous reputation to create hype and follow thepath of controversy.

In the past, there were companies that tried to exploit her remaining popularity and drain her value.Angry and helpless, she didn’t agree.

Simone nodded and said, “I’ve seen the dramas you’ve acted in and know that you truly love acting,

Plus.

your acting skills are excellent, so pursuing the path of a talented actress suits you best.”

Smiling, Fiona said, “Thank you for your recognition.”

Ever since she was targeted and brought down from her high position, she hadn’t received suchkindness in the industry for a long time.

Then, the conversation took a turn. “But you should also be aware of my current situation. I’ve been setup by that despicable couple and have become the target of public criticism. No director dares to castme as the leading or supporting actress in positive roles anymore. The only roles I get offered now areantagonists, and they are the kind of malicious characters that viewers despise.”

Her agent intervened and encouraged her to take on those roles. Apart from contractual restrictions,

she accepted them because she loved acting. She wanted to experience and interpret differentcharacters, even if they were villainous, but because she took on several of these villainous roles, theaudience disliked her even more, and her reputation worsened.

“If you sign a contract with me, you might also face criticism.”

Simone was not only the owner of the studio but also an artist herself, so she was at risk of criticism,too. That despicable couple had been closely monitoring Fiona, preventing her from getting a chance toturn things around.

“The Gray Family brothers may also exploit me to damage your reputation.” Although she wanted tocontinue acting, she didn’t want to harm others, either.

Upon hearing these words, Simone had even more confidence in Fiona. When she recruited talent, shevalued not only their potential but also their character. She put on a casual smile. “I have already takenall these things you mentioned into consideration. I’m not worried at all, so what are you afraid of?” shesaid confidently. “If we want to bring you back to the top, our studio will eliminate all the blemishes onyour reputation. Furthermore, we’ll ensure that the despicable couple faces the consequences for howthey treated you.”

She had already devised a plan to help Fiona restore her reputation. At the same time, she could alsohumiliate Se*mbag No. 2.

Simone’s words surprised not only Fiona but also the other two present. They were curious about themethods she would employ to help Fiona clear her name. Even with the top talent agent from GrayEntertainment, they doubted they could do the job. After all, it had been over a year, not only was thebest opportunity for reputation recovery already over, but Fiona was also trapped by that couple whofabricated evidence at the time.

It was truly challenging to erase the stain and rise again!
