Xia Yitong remained sitting in this position for five full seconds.
"Pinch me."
Fang Wei heard this and immediately thought to herself: These two are having fun while we're still outside? How would the driver in front feel when he heard this
After complaining in her heart, she felt deeply that she was not doing this right. Didn't she always not listen to gossip or spread gossip? Why did she look a bit like Xiaoxi now? It was true that those who kept company with the bad were influenced by the bad.
"Pinch me."
Fang Hui observes her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, and keeps her own moral integrity, not listening, not watching, and not being curious.
"Fang Hui."
"Why."
"Pinch me."
Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, then went over and pinched her lightly.
Xia Yitong looked at her with disappointment in his eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and twisted his arm hard, causing his delicate skin to turn red instantly.
Fang Hui: “…”
Forget it, don’t try to guess what someone in love is thinking. You’ll never understand no matter how much you guess.
"That..." Even if the driver was her own, Xia Yitong would not openly call out Lu Yinbing's name in the car. Now she was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She smiled with her forehead propped up, paused, and then solemnly said, "Thank you."
Lu Yinbing looked displeased. She really didn't like hearing the words "thank you" and "sorry" from Xia Yitong's mouth, but she didn't rush to correct her at this time.
Sure enough, Xia Yitong continued, "I know you don't like to hear this word, but I really don't know what to say to express my feelings. All my luck comes from you. You are my lucky star."
Lu Yinbing: "Your nomination is the result of your own efforts. It has nothing to do with me."
Xia Yitong held the phone in her hand, her tone unable to conceal her excitement: "I know, I know. But that's different."
Both of them knew what the difference was, but if they said it out loud, it would lose the original feeling, so they left it at that, leaving time to speak and years to prove.
Xia Yitong rushed to the announcement site, where Su Han was waiting for her. As soon as he saw her, he came over with a mysterious expression: "I have some really good news, do you want to hear it?"
Xia Yitong smiled slightly: "Is it about being nominated for the Jin Cong Award?"
Su Han: "Lie..."
She swallowed the word "fuck" in her throat. She is a very cultured agent.
Su Han said: "Who told you?"
After she finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself in the face. Is there any need to say this? There are not many people in this circle who are faster than her in getting news, especially when that person is familiar with Xia Yitong.
Xia Yitong raised the corners of her mouth and blinked playfully, almost announcing to the world: "My lucky goddess."
Su Han: “…”
She can no longer work as an agent. Oh my God, Mr. Xue should take Xia Yitong away as soon as possible.
Although Su Han complained like this in her heart, when Xia Yitong's contract really expired and she was about to leave Chaochu Entertainment, she couldn't help but hide in the room and wipe her tears with tissues.
On the afternoon of July 29, the day before the contract expired, the sun was still scorching the earth and the heat was steaming. Xia Yitong returned to the company in City S and knocked on the door of the chairman's office.
Qin Mu has been waiting for her for a long time.
This time when she met Qin Mu, Xia Yitong felt that she had changed a lot. The smile on her face remained, but it was much lighter than before. Her gestures became much more stable. When she saw Xia Yitong, she just nodded and smiled and said, "I'm here."
Xia Yitong thought she was in a bad mood because she was leaving, and felt very guilty, so she apologized, "Sister Mu, I'm sorry."
Qin Mu asked curiously, "What are you sorry for?"
Xia Yitong: "I promise, if you need my help in the future, I will come, otherwise you can beat me."
Qin Mu was stunned, then suddenly shook his head and chuckled: "You're overthinking. I'm in a bad mood because of my personal affairs. It has nothing to do with you. Let's talk about the termination of the contract." Isn't it just that the blind guy went abroad again and didn't know when he would come back? What does it look like to be depressed every day? It's all seen by others. If he doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. Let that Ji guy die.
Private matters? Xia Yitong muttered to herself, but she had hardly been back to the company in the past six months, and couldn't find any clues. Qin Mu didn't look like he would talk to her more, so she sighed and gave up.
The two of them were very close, so there was no need to say those polite words. The conversation was over in less than half an hour. Finally, Qin Mu closed the pen, crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I may have a new project for you next month. We'll see then. See if you want to take it or not."
"Okay." Xia Yitong looked at her and thought, there have been so many changes in this year. She entered the film industry and achieved remarkable results. Chao Chu, who she thought would stay there forever, just left her life. Qin Mu also changed from the playboy she was back then to being conscientious and hardworking. She already had the aura of a strong woman in the business world and had her own secrets that no one could know.
Qin Mu took her to the finance department to reconcile the accounts and gave her an extra 2% of the profits from her last TV series and variety show. Finally, he said goodbye to all the senior executives.
Su Han was the last one. When Xia Yitong went to find her, she had already calmed down and patted her shoulder calmly: "Although Xue Yao is difficult to talk to, you have the relationship with Queen Lu, so I believe she won't dare to embarrass you. Do your best, ah."
Xia Yitong nodded vigorously: "I will." Su Han is her mentor, and she will remember his kindness for the rest of her life.
Su Han looked at her for a while, his nose felt a little sour, and finally he sighed: "Where are you going now? Are you going to the new company?"
Xia Yitong nodded again.
Su Han said: "I'll take you there. When is the flight?"
Xia Yitong said: "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."
Su Han said: "I'll pick you up. Will you still live in the villa assigned to you by the company?"
Xia Yitong nodded: "I'll give you the key when we leave tomorrow."
On the morning of July 30, Su Han and Xia Yitong arrived in Beijing. Xue Yao was once again ordered by Lu Yinbing to pick them up at the airport. When she saw Su Han, she said "Oh" and nothing more. Su Han was frightened when she saw her. She had been taught a lesson by her over ten years ago, and she had met her frequently in various occasions over the years. She had more experience and connections than her, so she had to bow her head and call her "Sister Yao" in a nice way.
Xue Yao responded indifferently: "Xiao Su."
Xia Yitong blinked at first, and was very surprised at the scene where Su Han, who was full of aura outside, immediately reacted like a mouse seeing a cat when seeing Xue Yao. After seeing enough of the excitement, she came out to smooth things over: "Sister Su Han sent me here, that..." She touched the back of her neck and said embarrassedly, "My family."
Xue Yao condescended to shake hands with Su Han, smiled a little, and greeted him again: "Hello."
Su Han didn't care about Xue Yao's attitude towards her. She cared about whether Xia Yitong would be bullied. Lu Yinbing was Lu Yinbing, and Xue Yao was Xue Yao. Xia Yitong was so good-tempered that if the other party made things difficult for her, Xia Yitong might not tell Lu Yinbing. However, judging from Xue Yao's current performance, her previous worries were completely unnecessary. Xue Yao's change of attitude was enough to prove her importance to Xia Yitong.
Thinking of this, Su Han also replied with a sincere smile: "Hello."
Xue Yao took them directly to the underground parking lot of the studio. When Xia Yitong was outside, she saw that Lu Yinbing's studio was not an office building like other entertainment companies, but a three-story single-family villa that looked no different from a high-end residence.
The elevator went from the underground parking lot to the third floor. Xia Yitong followed Xue Yao out of the elevator and looked around at her future working environment. As expected, she had inherited Lu Yinbing's unique style of freedom and enjoyment. Refinement and simplicity coexisted, and there were ingenious little designs everywhere. Some staff came out to the corridor to "take a break" and were not surprised to see her. They smiled kindly. It was like a happy big family, which made people feel like spring breeze.
No wonder there are rumors in the industry that people who enter Lu Yinbing's studio basically cannot be dug out. With such a working environment, Lu Yinbing is not a stingy person, and she would not leave even if she were in his place.
Xue Yao stopped in front of a door. Xia Yitong looked up and saw the nameplate on the door: General Manager's Office.
I had a vague guess in my mind.
Xue Yao confirmed her guess: "Boss Lu...'s office."
She spoke too quickly and almost blurted out something.
Will Lu Yinbing be in there
Xia Yitong just had a glimmer of hope when Xue Yao's next words completely shattered it: "Mr. Lu is out now running errands and won't be back until the afternoon."
Xia Yitong: “…”
Well, she should have expected it. If Lu Yinbing was in the company, he would not be able to hold it in for that long and would run out to see her immediately.
Xue Yao unlocked the door and went in, asking, "What would you like to drink? Coffee? Tea? Boiled water?"
Su Han: “Coffee.”
Xia Yitong: "Water is enough."
Xue Yao asked them to sit down, and used the intercom on Lu Yinbing's desk to ask her secretary to bring her a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. She then walked to the water dispenser and poured Xia Yitong a glass of water. Xia Yitong stood up and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Sister Xue... Yao."
She almost blurted out "Auntie Xue". That was a derogatory name that Lu Yinbing told her privately, and she had repeatedly warned her not to let Xue Yao hear it, otherwise the other party would turn against her, and even Lu Yinbing herself would be helpless and could only wait to be scolded.
Fortunately, she stopped talking in time. She could not discuss the black name with Lu Yinbing again, otherwise she would be in trouble. She was scared.
Xue Yao did not doubt him and pushed a long-prepared contract over from the coffee table in front of her: "This is the contract that Mr. Lu and I discussed and finalized. Take a look. Xiao Su is here too. Can you help me with it? If you are still worried, I can hire a lawyer to check it item by item for you."
"No, no, no, no need to hire a lawyer." Xia Yitong waved her hands quickly. She trusted Su Han more, and the other party was indeed more experienced than her, so she took the initiative to hand the contract to her.
Su Han read through the clauses one by one, and the more he read, the more frightened he became. This was not a contract at all. It was simply an unfair clause. Of course, it was not the studio's clause against Xia Yitong, but Xia Yitong's clause against the company.
When she saw the proportion of commercial film remuneration, she suddenly felt irritated and her chest heaved violently. She couldn't read it any longer. She felt that the word "dog food" was written everywhere between the lines, and it was being forced into her mouth.
Xue Yao looked at her face, which was so colorful that it was almost comparable to a chameleon, with great interest. How could she not know what the other person was thinking
Xia Yitong: “???”
Su Han slapped the contract on her leg, pointed at that clause, and turned his face away impatiently.
There was clearly written on the paper in black and white: The proportion of commercial remuneration: Artist Xia Yitong gets 99.99% and the studio gets 0.01%.
Xia Yitong: “…”
Xue Yao took a sip of Longjing tea, then lazily leaned back on the sofa, grinning, "Are you satisfied? The pay split was personally arranged by President Lu."
Xia Yitong: “… … … …”
I can see it, it’s very Lu.
