As soon as Chu Nian stepped out of the back door of the hall after the press conference ended, he was blocked by Tongjia Road.
"Ms. Lin, would you be interested in joining our Tiandi Film and Television?" Tong Jialu said, handing over his business card with both hands. "Join us, and we will definitely give you the best resources."
Chu Nian accepted the business card and smiled, "I'll think about it!"
Tong Jialu quickly said, "Do you have time tonight? Why don't we have dinner together?"
Chu Nian glanced at him, who was dressed like a peacock, coughed lightly, and said, "Excuse me, I have an appointment with a lady."
Beside him, Mr. Lin interjected, "Who are you making plans with? Now that you and Tianchi have broken off your engagement, you should hurry up!"
Chu Nian looked at him with a hint of horror: "Dad, are you worried I won't be able to get married?" She hadn't even graduated from university yet, what was this old man in such a hurry for?!
Tong Jialu was a little embarrassed. He had invited her to discuss the contract, nothing more! After all, the Lin family's daughter was quite famous in aristocratic circles. Otherwise, why wouldn't Chen Tianchi be interested in someone as beautiful as Lin Nian?
Mr. Lin looked Tong Jialu over and then said to Chu Nian, "If you don't want to, that's fine. Don't force yourself. Otherwise, come home with Dad for dinner!"
Tong Jialu was even more embarrassed: "President Lin, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'don't wrong yourself'?"
Chu Nian eventually left with Lin's father, and Tong Jialu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief: the awkward conversation was really a bit worrying!
"Mr. Tong, are we really going to let Miss Lin leave like this? What if another film and television company signs her first?" his assistant said with some regret.
Tong Jialu: "Didn't you see that neither of them had any idea what they were thinking? They weren't even on the line of signing a contract."
The assistant nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, why? I heard that General Manager Lin is quite clever at managing business!"
Tong Jialu said smugly, "I'm too handsome, aren't I? You follow up on Lin Nian's contract signing. Hurry up, drive behind President Lin's car, and go to their house to talk."
Videos of Chu Nian singing and rapping at the press conference quickly spread online, and the Lin family manipulated things again, with several video clips immediately trending on social media.
The forum at Binhai University also exploded with discussion. Some students even deliberately compared the performance video of the freshmen who had just entered the university more than two years ago at the New Year's Eve party. Many people were amazed: it's hard to imagine that the girl who sang opera was the same girl who sang so off-key at the New Year's Eve party back then—the difference is too great.
Some people also posted the video of Chu Nian recounting the fun things she did while practicing singing online. After watching it, many people understood: it turns out that the reason why this girl could undergo such a dramatic change in just over two years was because she kept working hard.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Mou Nian became a typical example of inspiration.
Chu Nian was completely unaware of the online uproar, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared. She felt that she had eaten dinner a bit late tonight. Her schedule had been very regular lately, with dinner usually around six or seven o'clock, but she didn't arrive at the Lin family villa until almost nine o'clock. This was hardly dinner; it was more like a late-night snack.
Actually, late-night snacks aren't good for your health. Ever since Chu Nian transmigrated, she's been controlling herself and hasn't eaten a late-night snack. But now she can't go without one; her stomach is empty, and she's afraid she won't be able to sleep if she doesn't eat.
Someone rang the doorbell, and the nanny, Aunt Zhao, went to open the door. She found a young man in his twenties who was dressed very neatly.
"Hello, I'm Qiao Sen from Tiandi Films," the man said politely, handing over his business card. "May I ask if Ms. Lin could spare a moment from her busy schedule to speak with me?"
His politeness quickly won Aunt Zhao's favor, because most of the people who came to the Lin family were either rich or noble, or were high-ranking members of the Lin Group. Who would give her, a nanny, a second glance?
Aunt Zhao took the business card and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask Miss."
Chu Nian was immediately overwhelmed when she heard it was Tiandi Film and Television again. To be honest, she knew Tong Jialu's true purpose when he approached her earlier, but she still didn't want to sign with any film and television company.
She has a fortune waiting to be inherited, and shooting commercials occasionally is like a game to her. But if she joins a film and television company, her schedule will have to be arranged by the company. It won't be as simple as just shooting commercials for fun. She'll definitely be made to film dramas, and she might even have to participate in various variety shows, which will be incredibly troublesome.
In her previous life, she was penniless and desperate, giving it her all to become famous and win the Best Actress award. She succeeded, winning the award three times in a row, but it took a toll on her health.
This time, she didn't want to follow the same old path. She wanted to live a relaxed and carefree life, and fully enjoy it.
She guessed that since the boss, Tong Jialu, had tried to strike up a conversation but failed, he had sent his men, probably because he was quite determined to sign her. So she decided not to play games with him anymore and said directly to Aunt Zhao, "Tell him that I don't want to sign with any film and television company for the time being, and tell him to go back!"
Aunt Zhao was stunned. In the past, this young lady would be overjoyed at any opportunity to show her face. What was wrong with her today? A film company took the initiative to come to her door wanting to sign a contract, but she refused without even seeing them.
Strange as it was, Aunt Zhao still obediently went to reply to Qiao Sen and apologized on behalf of Chu Nian.
Having no other option, Qiao Sen called Tong Jialu. Then, the next morning, Chu Nian got up early to go to school. As she was doing her usual morning exercises, she was surprised to see Qiao Sen waiting at the entrance of the Lin family villa.
He was in the car when he saw Chu Nian come out, so he quickly got out to greet her. Judging from his dark circles, he probably hadn't slept much all night.
Although Chu Nian guessed that they were persistent, she did not expect them to be persistent to this extent. It is truly well-deserved that Tiandi Film and Television has become the number one in the country.
Before Qiao Sen could speak, Chu Nian raised her hand in a "stop" gesture and said, "You don't need to say anything. I know what you want to say, but I don't want to sign with any film and television company right now. How about this, when I want to sign, I'll talk to your Tiandi Film and Television first. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll consider other film and television companies."
Qiao Sen said, "Miss Lin, if you can't get good resources without signing with a film and television company, wouldn't it be a waste to have such good conditions?"
Chu Nian: "I only want to dabble in the entertainment industry occasionally, I don't want to delve too deep, do you understand what I mean? I have billions of assets to inherit!"
Qiao Sen's lips twitched: Why did he suddenly feel so jealous and envious?
He nodded and said, "Understood! Understood! Well then, you must keep your word. If you want to sign with a film and television company, you must consider Tiandi Film and Television first."
Chu Nian nodded in agreement. What she didn't expect was that after returning to school from dealing with the film company, she found the student council president waiting for her.
