Chapter 49: Contract
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the manor, Bo Xiao received a few calls. They were all from those who had heard that he was back, so they wanted to ask Bo Xiao out for drinks and dancing.
If it was in the past, Bo Xiao would have definitely joined the fun without a second thought. Although he had never said anything, he was actually quite envious of Jun Shiling and the rest’s state just now.
Bo Xiao, who had always been a bachelor and upholded his stance, actually had some thoughts of settling down when he looked back at the warm lights in the manor.
Xia Wanyuan’s feet had recovered a lot, and Xiao Bao had insisted on sleeping with her.
“Mommy, I want to sleep with you.”
“Don’t you have Daddy accompanying you?” Xia Wanyuan was amused by Xiao Bao’s expression.
“Daddy is helping me chase away the little monsters. I’m not afraid of the little monsters anymore. I’m a little man.”
….
Jun Shiling glanced at his biological son, who had turned him into a human tool.
Xiao Bao wanted to continue speaking, but Jun Shiling dragged him away.
“We’ll talk about it in two days when her foot is better.”
Xiao Bao struggled symbolically for a while, but gave up when he realized that his little arm could not win Jun Shiling’s big arm.
After a period of rest, Xia Wanyuan’s feet could finally move without worry.
After lying in bed for so many days, it still felt unreal to finally step on solid ground.
“Xiao Xia, I’m waiting for you at Qian Xiu’s office. We agreed to meet at ten o’clock. Don’t be late!”
Chen Yun was very cautious about Xia Wanyuan’s first true endorsement, and he repeatedly reminded her.
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan started to change.
For the past few days, whenever she was at home, she would just wear a simple dress. Now that she could finally go out, Xia Wanyuan chose a brief but not simple outfit.
Downstairs, Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao were sitting on the sofa waiting for Xia Wanyuan.
Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was going to work today, Xiao Bao pulled Jun Shiling over to send her off. Jun Shiling glared at his son coldly, but in the end, he did not go to the office early. Instead, he sat on the sofa with Xiao Bao and waited for someone.
“Wow, Mommy, you’re so beautiful!”
Jun Shiling, who was reading the finance newspaper, looked up.
Xia Wanyuan, who was strolling down the stairs, was wearing a light blue windbreaker. The natural tightness at her waist made her look slender and delicate.
Xia Wanyuan, who had been bare-faced for the past few days, had put on makeup today, which was rare. Her already stunning facial features were enhanced by the makeup, making her look even more alluring. Her brows were furrowed like the mountains in spring, and her eyes were wrinkled like the autumn waters. Her face was thin and her waist was slender, elegant, and peerlessly beautiful.
“I’m ready. Let’s go.” Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xiao Bao with her bright eyes and white teeth.
“Daddy, let’s go.” Xiao Bao tugged at Jun Shiling, who finally came to his senses.
“Okay, let’s go.”
The car drove Xiao Bao to the kindergarten, leaving Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan alone in silence.
Chen Yun stood at the door and kept looking around.
However, he saw a luxury car that he might not be able to afford even if he worked for ten lifetimes slowly approaching.
“F*ck.” Chen Yun couldn’t help but sigh. He had only seen this model of Rolls-Royce in magazine collections. Even in Beijing where the rich gathered, this was the first time he had seen this car.
He had been staring intently at the car, but he realized that the car was slowly stopping in front of him. Then, a familiar figure walked out of the car.
??
Chen Yun wiped his eyes to confirm that he had not seen wrongly. “Xia Wanyuan?”
“It’s about time. Let’s go in.”
Chen Yun looked at the luxury car that had already closed the door, then looked at the indifferent Xia Wanyuan. He kept feeling that something was wrong.
“Is that your car?”
Chen Yun caught up with Xia Wanyuan and asked curiously.
“No, it’s from a friend. The one who lent me his house.”
“This friend of yours is really quite good.” Chen Yun smacked his lips. There was still something he didn’t say – and he was very rich!
After Xia Wanyuan alighted, Jun Shiling looked up at the beautiful company building and frowned slightly.
He had never paid much attention to the entertainment industry, but he was a very sharp businessman. A clothing brand like Qian Xiu, which had done rather well in the industry, was clearly not on par with Xia Wanyuan’s current commercial value.
There were already staff waiting in the meeting room.
“Hello, this must be Miss Xia Wanyuan?”
A middle-aged man was Manager Chen, who had already spoken to Chen Yun once last time. His eyes lit up when he saw Xia Wanyuan behind Chen Yun.
He had originally received orders from the higher-ups to contact Xia Wanyuan. Qian Xiu’s previous spokesperson was either a movie queen or an A-list celebrity. He had never found such a lousy artiste who would be criticized by the entire internet just by surfing the internet.
Hence, Manager Chen had come to discuss endorsements with Xia Wanyuan in a hopeless state. Who would have thought that when he saw the person in front of him, he would feel like he had picked up a treasure?
He had seen too many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Wanyuan, who had her own unique temperament. Even though she was standing quietly, she had an aura that could not be ignored. This made Manager Chen feel more sincere about endorsement deals.
“Have a look at the contract first.”
Chen Yun took the contract and looked at the obligations and endorsement fees.
“That’s a great offer. We can sign it now.”
Chen Yun looked at the contract. There was nothing wrong with it, and the treatment the other party gave him was rather good. He was afraid that the other party would regret it after reading Xia Wanyuan’s comments online, so he wanted to quickly sign the contract and confirm it.
“Okay!”
Manager Chen had already accepted the mission from the higher-ups and requested to sign Xia Wanyuan. After seeing her image, he felt that this transaction was not a loss. The two of them hit it off immediately and were about to sit down and sign the contract.
“Hold on.”
Xia Wanyuan, who had been quietly flipping through the contract, suddenly raised her head.
Manager Chen looked at Xia Wanyuan. Her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, making him feel guilty for no reason.
“What does the last clause of the contract mean?”
Chen Yun leaned over to take a look. “If Xia Wanyuan unilaterally proposes to terminate the contract, she will have to pay ten times the agreed fee for the endorsement.”
“The termination agreement is normal, but the ten times penalty fee is indeed a little high.”
The endorsement fee that Qian Xiu had given her was very generous. Hence, if she broke the contract, the tenfold compensation would be rather large.
“This is for a unilateral termination of the contract. Our company will invest a large amount of public relations marketing to help establish the image of a spokesperson for Miss Xia. If Miss Xia signs the contract before terminating it, we will suffer a huge loss. This is only to safeguard our company.”
Manager Chen did not panic at all. Seeing that Chen Yun was starting to waver, he took out his signature negotiating smile and slowly convinced Chen Yun. “Besides, I believe that with Qian Xiu’s leadership skills and generous treatment in the industry, once she signs the contract, you won’t propose to terminate the contract, so this contract can be completely ignored.”
After hearing this, Chen Yun felt that it made sense. “What do you think?” He looked at Xia Wanyuan. Even he did not realize that now that when something happened, he would subconsciously listen to Xia Wanyuan’s opinion.
“No.”
Manager Chen confidently handed the contract over halfway when he heard Xia Wanyuan’s clear voice.
