To be honest, Jane had been in this circle for some time, but this was really the first time she had met someone like Zach.
Jane really didn’t know who gave Zach such confidence. Just because he became famous with a few songs and gained some popularity, did that mean he could look down on everyone else?
If someone who didn’t know him heard him talk like that, they would think he had won a lifetime achievement award or something that could sustain him for life.
Jane smiled wryly. The entertainment industry was full of newcomers and there were plenty of creative singers like Zach out there.
Zach was lucky to have become popular at this particular moment in time. Once new talent emerged, it wasn’t certain where Zach would end up.
“Do you think you can save my TV drama just by listening to you?” Jane propped her chin up and looked at Zach.
Zach crossed his hands over his stomach and looked seriously at Jane, “If you have a good eye for people, then the benefits I bring will be immeasurable.”
In fact, Zach had always been arrogant because everything in his life had gone so smoothly. He became famous overnight after writing some songs when he entered the entertainment industry.
Not many people could achieve such success even if they begged for it. But it came so easily to Zach that he naturally underestimated the competition within the industry and its inherent dangers.
He thought what he wanted would come as soon as he waved his hand. When he became popular, countless big companies wanted to sign him on but he ultimately chose Star Entertainment because it was currently one of the top entertainment companies in the industry.
Zach knew very well that if he signed with Star Entertainment, considering his current popularity, he would undoubtedly be the company’s top priority, and the future benefits it would bring him would be immeasurable.
The reason Zach held himself so high was precisely because he knew he was currently at the peak of his fame.
However, the one thing Zach overlooked was that he was facing Jane.
“What do you think, Miss North? You should consider it. This opportunity is truly rare,” Zach confidently said. “I’ve turned down invitations from many companies just to come and find you.”
Upon hearing this, Jane couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She looked at Zach with a smile on her face and asked, “Who do you think you are?”
The smile on Zach’s face froze instantly.
“Do you think Star Entertainment would be lacking a singer like you?” Jane tilted her head slightly. With Star Entertainment’s current strength, who couldn’t they sign?
Moreover, Jane had heard from the company’s staff that Zach was an independent artist who hadn’t signed with any company yet. Even so, Jane had no intention of trying to sign him away.
While Zach’s popularity was important, Jane knew very well that his fame wouldn’t last long.
Sure enough, upon hearing Jane’s words, Zach’s expression turned sour. He leaned forward, getting closer to Jane and said, “Miss North, with my current popularity…”
But before Zach could finish his sentence, Jane interrupted him directly. “Popularity. Do you think you can maintain this level of popularity for a lifetime?”
“That’s why I need the support of your esteemed company. You’re a top-tier company, and I believe you can provide me with the best resources,” Zach couldn’t help but stand up and speak.
“I can indeed provide you with the best resources and make you the center of the company’s attention,” Jane said, leaning back in her office chair, looking up at Zach. “But do you think you deserve it, Zach? You’re overestimating yourself.”
Zach’s expression turned angry, and his hand by his side unconsciously clenched.
“You truly live up to your reputation as a top-tier company, looking down on a small star like me.”
Seeing Zach’s attitude, Jane found it somewhat amusing. She genuinely didn’t know who had given Zach the courage to act so high and mighty.
It was clear that he wanted to join her company, not the other way around.
“Perhaps my small company simply can’t accommodate such a great superstar like yourself. You said it yourself, many companies are eager to sign you, so why don’t you go to them?” Jane lightly tapped the desk with her finger and sneered, “Zach, you’re not worth it, and you don’t have the right to speak to me with such an attitude.”
How could an inexperienced rookie dare to speak so boldly?
“You!” Zach glared at Jane. He had been in the entertainment industry for some time, and everyone had always treated him with respect. This was the first time he encountered such a sarcastic look.
He couldn’t bear such injustice and snorted coldly at Jane.
“You will regret this,” he said, then turned around and left.
But as soon as he stepped out of the office, Zach bumped into someone.
Already filled with anger, Zach’s voice turned even colder in this situation. “Can’t you watch where you’re going?”
“I’m sorry, truly sorry,” the girl who collided with Zach lowered her head and apologized repeatedly.
“What a nuisance.” Zach adjusted his collar and walked away with an air of superiority.
However, Jane in the office didn’t witness this scene. If she had known, she would have surely not let Zach off the hook.
Nevertheless, Jane had her assistant investigate Zach.
She had suspicions about this self-important Zach and wondered if he had some influential backing. But if he didn’t, Jane simply thought he was a fool.
Not to mention her, someone would eventually teach Zach a lesson.
At that moment, a girl standing outside Jane’s office looked around anxiously. Just as she was about to knock on the door, a voice came from behind her, “Hey, what are you doing here?”
April Sutton turned around, her expression slightly dazed.
“This isn’t a place for you to be.”
The supervisor glanced at Jane’s office door, relieved that he hadn’t disturbed her, and cast a reproachful look at the girl’s face.
“Hurry up and leave.” He tried to lead April away.
April hesitated for a moment before catching up with the supervisor’s steps. “Can I use the two songs I sang earlier?”
“What songs?” The supervisor’s expression darkened.
Hearing this, April’s face turned pale. “I gave you two of my original songs and you said you would pass them on for review.”
April’s voice carried a hint of grievance, but the supervisor showed no sympathy.
He even frowned impatiently. “Those two songs? No, they were simply terrible.”
“How could that be? It shouldn’t be like this.” April blinked her eyes in disbelief. Her friends around her thought those two songs were great, which encouraged her to apply, but now she received such a result.
“What shouldn’t be? This is a big company, and we know what songs can make it big. Now, hurry up and leave!”
