2: Chapter 2 Join 798

10:30 PM.

Cao Mo packed his belongings, got into a Didi electric car, and headed back to his accommodation.

He had earned 382 today.

For the past two days, Cao Mo had been staying in a budget hotel.

This life was already pretty good; two days ago, Cao Mo was penniless, carrying bricks at a construction site and sleeping in internet cafes.

The reason he was so miserable was that Cao Mo was a transmigrator, having arrived in this world five days ago.

Five days ago, Cao Mo was rafting on the Tongtian River in Guizhou when the boat capsized, and he lost consciousness.

Taiwan Novel Network relieves boredom, super reliable.

When Cao Mo woke up, he appeared in Hangzhou in this world, lying on the grass in a park.

So much for the promise of guaranteed work and income!

Instead, it dumped him into this world.

Fortunately, when Cao Mo was rafting, his phone was wrapped in a waterproof bag, and his ID card was tucked behind the phone inside the phone case.

So, at least Cao Mo had a phone and an ID card.

However, the money in his phone couldn't be used; it had been wiped to zero.

The only consolation for Cao Mo was that after transmigrating, his appearance became more handsome, his physique improved, and he even grew taller.

Because Cao Mo was penniless, to avoid starving to death, he had to find a way to make money.

He happened to run into a construction site hiring daily temporary workers, so Cao Mo worked there for two days.

The sun was scorching, the construction site was like a steamer, and the bricks were big and scalding hot.

Fortunately, after transmigrating, not only did his physique improve, but his physical fitness was also top-notch, which allowed him to endure it.

However, Cao Mo didn't want to continue after two days; the weather was too hot, the bricks were too hot, so he went looking for another way out.

With his two days' wages, Cao Mo went to the bank to open a bank card, then activated Zhifubao, and opened both Huabei and Jiebei.

So, Cao Mo used the low credit limit from Huabei and Jiebei to buy a second-hand guitar and a set of sound equipment.

Relying on these items, plus the fact that Cao Mo had already learned guitar, he began his path of street performing.

Relying on his heaven-defying good looks and decent singing and playing skills, Cao Mo earned 230 on the first day, 253 on the second day, and 382 on the third day, which was today.

Relying on the money earned from street performing, Cao Mo was able to stay in a hotel.

Of course, staying in a budget hotel all the time wasn't a solution; it would be more cost-effective for Cao Mo to rent a place.

But the money he was earning now wasn't enough to rent a place, so he could only make do for now.

Fortunately, now the opportunity had arrived.

He actually ran into Brother Tong, and after joining Dahai Xingchen, he could consider it a proper and stable career.

Unfortunately, after transmigrating, besides becoming more handsome, having a better physique, and improved physical fitness, he didn't have any golden finger.

Logically speaking, as a transmigrator, getting a system wouldn't be too much to ask, right! But it had already been six days, and Cao Mo had already given up hope for a system.

At this moment, the vehicle had arrived at the hotel entrance.

Cao Mo took his pile of belongings, got out of the car, and entered the hotel.

He lay on the bed.

Cao Mo took out his phone and clicked into Douyin.

Dahai Xingchen in this world seemed not much different from the one in Cao Mo's original world; the people who should be there were all there.

At this time, quite a few Dahai Xingchen streamers were Livestreaming.

For example, Ying Xiaojie, Zhilong, Tian Jiu, Wang Ziyan, and several female streamers were also there, such as Teacher Fu, Baobao, Yi Nuo...

Most of the male streamers were basically doing PK battles.

In Cao Mo's view, among all these male streamers in 798, not one of them could carry the banner.

He once thought Zisheng had potential, but he still couldn't do it like Tong, and Zisheng was also going to start PK battles on Douyin.

Although they could indeed earn a lot from PK battles, and Zhilong could now maintain over ten thousand, this couldn't be generalized.

It seemed he, Cao Mo, would have to be the one to carry the banner.

Although he had just registered on Douyin and didn't have a single fan yet, he had to have this ambition; otherwise, how could he live up to the identity of a transmigrator?

...

The next day.

Cao Mo got up early, tidied his hair, and then got dressed to go eat breakfast.

When Cao Mo took a Didi and arrived at Dahai Xingchen, it was exactly ten o'clock.

The time Cao Mo had arranged with Lei Wenjing was 10:30.

Led by an assistant, Cao Mo arrived at Lei Wenjing's office.

Cao Mo did have some understanding of this famous Lei Baobao.

Lei Wenjing was once a leader at HY and was now the CEO of Tong's company.

After Cao Mo arrived, a look of amazement appeared in Lei Wenjing's eyes when she saw him.

"Hello, General Manager Lei! I am Cao Mo." Cao Mo greeted her.

"Hmm! Hello, you came so early! Sit on the sofa first, I'll be right over." Lei Wenjing invited Cao Mo to sit on the sofa in the office.

"Okay!"

Cao Mo sat down on the sofa as instructed.

At this moment, Lei Wenjing's assistant came over and asked: "Hello! Would you like black tea, coffee, or a beverage?"

"Uh... give me a cup of black tea, thanks!" Cao Mo replied.

The assistant nodded and left.

When the assistant brought the black tea over, Lei Wenjing also left her chair and walked over.

"General Manager Tong has already spoken to me, and he specifically instructed me to draft the contract carefully; he really values you. Now that I see you in person, I think General Manager Tong's high regard is justified; you are truly handsome." Lei Wenjing said with a smile.

"No, no, just a little handsome, just a little handsome!" Cao Mo blurted out Tong Jingchen's catchphrase.

"Heh! When Tong says 'a little handsome,' it's modesty; when you say it, it's a bit pretentious. Come take a look at the contract; if there's anything you're dissatisfied with or don't understand, feel free to ask me at any time." Lei Wenjing handed the printed contract to Cao Mo.

Cao Mo took the contract and immediately began reading it.

Lei Wenjing sipped her coffee while observing Cao Mo as he read the contract.

It wasn't that she had any designs on Cao Mo; she knew her place.

Cao Mo wasn't just simply handsome; compared to ordinary handsome men, Cao Mo was more memorable. In short, he was very comfortable to look at, both handsome and pleasing to the eye, and he felt like he had something indescribable that other handsome men lacked—perhaps it was temperament; anyway, he was just charming.

From her perspective, having spent so many years in the industry, even if Cao Mo had no emotional intelligence or content, just based on this image, he would definitely do well in this line of work.

Cao Mo carefully examined the terms of the contract.

After a while, Lei Wenjing said: "Don't worry, our company definitely doesn't do those kinds of shady things, and the terms we're offering—you can look at all the MCN agencies—are definitely top-tier for a newcomer. We are really full of sincerity."

Cao Mo nodded upon hearing this; regarding the terms offered, Cao Mo did indeed feel their sincerity.

"We can sign for three years first, and we can give you a tiered contract. If you develop better and better and reach the expectations stipulated in the contract, the contract can be revised again to give you better treatment and conditions." Lei Wenjing continued.

"Hmm! Everything else is fine, but can this liquidated damages clause be lowered?" Cao Mo asked.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the liquidated damages weren't high, Cao Mo would have plenty of room to maneuver.
