Zhang Zhan smiled, and Zeng Jia also felt like smiling.
To them, Su Han's statement was truly childish, even bordering on wishful thinking.
"What? Are you really that confident your revenue will surpass mine?"
Zhang Zhan stepped forward, looking defiantly at Su Han.
Su Han narrowed his eyes, sizing him up. "Why couldn't it?"
"Tsk tsk, having that kind of confidence is quite good," Zhang Zhan nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Zhan: "If my revenue isn't higher than yours, I'll compensate the company one hundred million with 15% interest. Additionally, I'll personally pay you another hundred million! Then I'll get out of the company. Is that acceptable?"
Zhang Zhan was doing this intentionally, saying it this way to make himself seem generous.
He was brimming with confidence.
The more confident he was, the happier Su Han became, because he really wanted to see Zhang Zhan's embarrassed look when he was proven wrong, which would be incredibly satisfying.
"Zhang Zhan, you..." Hearing Zhang Zhan's words, Zeng Jia was a little worried.
"Sister Zeng, are you not trusting me?"
Zeng Jia said no more. She did indeed trust Zhang Zhan.
Su Han couldn't possibly surpass Zhang Zhan in such a short period. Zhang Zhan was bound to win.
"Alright! Then it's settled. Don't let anyone go back on their word," Su Han also agreed readily and asserted.
"Heh, that won't happen."
"Let's sign the contract now!"
"I'm afraid you'll renege on the deal later."
Zhang Zhan was supremely confident.
Su Han gave a cold laugh. Truly arrogant. Just wait. Forget a year, I'll crush you in half a year and make you beg on your knees.
Next, Su Han and Yang Mi signed the betting agreement with Zeng Jia and Zhang Zhan.
Within one year, Jiaxing would invest one hundred million yuan into both Su Han and Zhang Zhan. If Su Han's revenue within that year did not surpass Zhang Zhan's, then Su Han and Yang Mi would have to pay one hundred million plus 15% interest, and potentially leave the company.
If Zhang Zhan's revenue within the year did not surpass Su Han's, then Zhang Zhan would have to pay the company one hundred million plus 15% interest and leave the company. He would also additionally pay Su Han one hundred million.
Such a contract was signed in triplicate.
Su Han received one copy, Zhang Zhan received one, and Jiaxing company kept one.
After sorting things out with Jiaxing and Zhang Zhan, Yang Mi pulled Su Han back to the office.
"How is it? You've signed this betting agreement, are you nervous?"
"Well, it's alright."
"You're so calm? Are you that confident?"
Su Han was, after all, a newcomer. Yang Mi couldn't quite understand why he was so confident.
What gave him such backing?
"If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have agreed to sign this betting agreement with them."
"Signing this agreement means I have the confidence to win."
Seeing Su Han speak so eloquently, Yang Mi couldn't help but ask, "What if you can't win? Although Zhang Zhan's acting isn't great, he can generate revenue by focusing on variety shows. He is indeed the biggest traffic idol in recent years."
"Actually, when I agreed to this, I was a bit unsure. But it doesn't matter. You don't need to worry about the future. I'll get you roles, just focus on acting. If you lose the bet later, I can cover half of the penalty for you."
"In retrospect, I should have been more composed and not agreed to this betting agreement. But sometimes I just can't swallow my pride, and of course, I want to take a gamble and try."
Yang Mi explained to Su Han.
Su Han: "So, you don't have confidence in me?"
Yang Mi looked intently at Su Han.
"To be honest, I do admire you quite a lot. If we're talking about ability, you are definitely stronger than Zhang Zhan. However, to surpass Zhang Zhan in such a short time is impossible."
"It's very, very difficult."
"It's okay, leave it to me. I can do it."
"Worst case scenario, I'll just work harder. Besides acting, I can also sing, dance, and appear on variety shows."
Su Han seemed completely unfazed and wasn't worried at all.
Seeing him so steady, Yang Mi didn't overthink it. In any case, everything was set in stone now. All that was left was to work hard. Whether it would work or not, they would see in a year.
"Then let's work hard, shall we?"
"Mhm."
"By the way, the crew for 'Infernal Affairs 2' is available for auditions tomorrow. We'll see about it then."
"Okay."
"Let's work hard! One hundred million is not a small sum."
"If we really lose, you'll have to work to pay it back."
Su Han smiled. "It's okay, I have Boss Yang backing me."
"Hey? Your words are quite sweet, 'I back you'. You're really something. Why don't you try to be a kept man by me?"
"If it's possible, I do have that idea," Su Han said faintly.
Yang Mi gave him a look, letting him ponder it.
"This afternoon, I'll have someone help you with image management. We'll take some promotional photos."
"Why do I need to do this kind of thing?"
Yang Mi raised an eyebrow. "Don't I need to manage my image? If I dress up handsomely, maybe I'll actually fall for you?"
Hearing this, Su Han smiled.
However, Zhang Zhan and Zeng Jia, who had just signed the contract with Su Han and Yang Mi, also began discussing the matter after returning to their office.
"Zhang Zhan, you were a bit impulsive just now."
"It's one thing to compensate the company, but why did you have to say you'd leave the company directly, and then additionally compensate him one hundred million?"
Although Zeng Jia also believed Zhang Zhan would win, as a seasoned veteran of society, she never allowed any risk.
Therefore, to her, the additional conditions Zhang Zhan added to the betting agreement today were truly driven by emotion and impulse.
"Sister Zeng, I wasn't impulsive. I have the confidence and assurance for this. I think it was they who were impulsive."
"I really don't know what Su Han is basing his confidence on to compete with me."
"He just made one movie, and now he thinks he's soaring to the heavens?"
"Even if he loses ten times that amount, he won't get it! With his current state, even ten years of effort won't get him there!"
Zhang Zhan was incredibly arrogant.
"But that movie isn't simple."
Zeng Jia's words made his smile freeze.
"Actually, I've seen it too. His acting is indeed quite good. If he worked hard for two or three years, he might be able to surpass you."
"But within a year, it's still very difficult. It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely."
Zeng Jia looked at Zhang Zhan and said deeply.
"Pfft!"
"Sister Zeng, are you siding with him too?"
"No. I'm just stating facts."
"Then I'll just work harder! As long as I don't give him a chance to catch up."
"Sister Zeng, are there any role resources available recently? I really can't swallow this insult, and I need an opportunity to prove my acting skills."
"The reason I didn't perform well this time is twofold: first, I genuinely lack martial arts foundation, and second, it was such a small role with no soul. How could I act it out?"
"I actually have a resource for you recently."
"It's said that the director spent ten years developing this script."
"Wow?! Is it a big production?"
"It's called 'The Wandering Earth,' a domestic sci-fi film!"
