"Sure," Jiang Siming replied straightforwardly, without any pretense.
He had already considered live streaming, so when the opportunity presented itself, he had no reason to refuse.
"Great, I'll give them your number. You can discuss the details over the phone later, okay, Brother Ming? Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them for you."
SillyGirl acted as if she was defending her own man, causing the executives watching the stream to frown.
Come on, you're part of our platform. Shouldn't you be considering our interests?
After Jiang Siming agreed, he soon received a call from the other party.
They arranged to meet in person the next day at noon in Shanghai.
To prepare for the meeting, Jiang Siming only played two games with the two girls before logging off to rest.
The two girls understood and logged off as well.
Jiang Siming turned off his computer. It was already 1 AM, and he wanted to get some more sleep since he hadn't fully rested in the morning.
After taking a shower, Jiang Siming walked out wearing only his underwear, planning to go back to bed.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xinyi, who had gotten up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, opened the door and came out. Seeing Jiang Siming, she let out a scream, covered her face, and ran back to her room.
"Uh..."
Jiang Siming felt a bit awkward. He hadn't expected Wang Xinyi to be awake so late, and now she had seen him in just his underwear.
"Sorry, Xinyi, I'll make sure to wear clothes next time," Jiang Siming apologized at Wang Xinyi's door before returning to his room to sleep.
Meanwhile, Wang Xinyi, back in her room, was wide awake, her face flushed red.
She couldn't get the image of Jiang Siming's half-naked body out of her head, making it impossible to fall asleep.
On the other hand, Jiang Siming, without a care in the world, quickly fell asleep.
He slept soundly until the next morning.
"Morning, Xinyi."
On his way to the bathroom, Jiang Siming greeted Wang Xinyi, who had just woken up, her eyes still sleepy.
Wang Xinyi quickly lowered her head, murmuring a small "morning," too shy to say more.
"Hmm... those bags under your eyes... didn't sleep well last night?" Jiang Siming asked kindly while brushing his teeth.
"No... not really..." Wang Xinyi replied, even more embarrassed.
Jiang Siming didn't think much of it. After finishing his morning routine, he tidied up and left.
He had arranged to meet with the Shark representatives at a Japanese restaurant in Xujiahui. When Jiang Siming arrived, the other party had just arrived as well.
Only one person came, a mature woman dressed in a professional OL outfit.
Though not exceptionally beautiful, she had delicate features and smooth skin, with wavy hair and a voluptuous figure that seemed ready to burst out of her suit.
She exuded the fragrance of a blooming rose and the allure of a mature woman. Even if her face wasn't perfect, she was still a captivating presence.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Xuan, head of the Shark gaming division and general manager of the Shark Group branch."
"Hello, I'm Jiang Siming."
They shook hands briefly before entering the restaurant and heading to a reserved private room.
After sitting down, Zhao Xuan thoughtfully asked about Jiang Siming's dietary preferences and ordered a few specialty dishes.
Once the waiter left, they got down to business.
"I thought Brother Sun was the person in charge at Shark?" Jiang Siming asked curiously.
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Sun Youcai is just the deputy manager. He's the face of the operation."
"I see. I'm honored that you came to meet me personally, Ms. Zhao," Jiang Siming said politely.
In reality, negotiating contracts with streamers didn't require someone of Zhao Xuan's position.
However, Sun Youcai was willing to offer an S-level contract to sign Jiang Siming.
When this was reported, Zhao Xuan was curious. With Shark preparing for an IPO, she wanted to ensure everything was in order, so she decided to handle the negotiations personally to assess Jiang Siming's potential.
Seeing Jiang Siming for the first time at the restaurant entrance, Zhao Xuan was surprised.
She had done her homework and knew about Jiang Siming's talents.
Voice acting skills, exceptional gaming abilities, and a knack for creating viral content.
Typically, someone with such a great voice wouldn't be much to look at.
But Zhao Xuan was taken aback by Jiang Siming's striking appearance. This kind of guy could easily dominate the entertainment industry.
Even someone like Zhao Xuan, who usually didn't show interest in men, felt a slight flutter. If Jiang Siming streamed with his face visible, he'd likely attract a massive female fanbase.
Because of this, Zhao Xuan felt that the S-level contract was justified.
"You're too modest. Besides, I'm not that out of touch. It's an opportunity for me to sign such a promising new streamer for the company. I should be thanking you."
Zhao Xuan smiled subtly, her words perfectly measured.
"Let's skip the formalities and get straight to the point. I'm sure you've heard a lot about the contract details. I won't haggle or try to take advantage. Simply put, it's an S-level contract, a ten-year agreement. It's a fair deal, right?"
With that, Zhao Xuan took out a contract from her briefcase.
She actually had three different contracts in her briefcase, labeled A, B, and S.
All prepared for Jiang Siming.
Zhao Xuan initially planned to settle for a B-level contract if Jiang Siming didn't impress her, at most an A-level.
But now she changed her mind. Haggling might upset him, and if another platform swooped in, it would be problematic. So she decided to offer the S-level contract.
Jiang Siming took the contract and began reading it carefully, while Zhao Xuan quietly sipped her water, occasionally glancing at him.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt Jiang Siming's looks were wasted if he didn't become a star.
Especially when he was focused on reading the contract, his serious expression was quite captivating.
"Impossible, men are all the same," Zhao Xuan thought, dousing her earlier feelings with a cold splash of reality.
After reviewing the contract, Jiang Siming looked up and said to Zhao Xuan, "The contract looks good. The terms are generous, and I have no reason to refuse."
A yearly salary of ten million, a 60% share of gift revenue, and a monthly streaming requirement of 300 hours, with no conditions on gift collection.
For someone like Jiang Siming, who had never streamed before, this was a dream contract, turning him from an unknown into a star.
The contract was entirely S-level, with the only difference being the duration.
Hearing Jiang Siming's words, Zhao Xuan smiled victoriously and said, "Then let's sign the contract."
But Jiang Siming shook his head with a smile and said, "But I still refuse."
Zhao Xuan was taken aback, her brows furrowing as her initial good impression of Jiang Siming vanished. She thought he was trying to be greedy and demand more.
"Mr. Jiang, you should know that this contract is top-tier in the streaming industry. What more could you want?"
Jiang Siming smiled politely and replied, "Ms. Zhao, you've misunderstood. I'm not asking for more."
"Then what do you mean?"
Jiang Siming pushed the contract back, tapping his fingers on the final clause.
