Chapter 9 Has President Fu taken a liking to her? Putting aside everything else, the Fu family…
The caller identified herself as Lin Yue, an agent from Shixu Media. She spoke quickly and efficiently: "Hello Mr. Jiang, sorry to bother you. I understand that you haven't signed with an agency yet. I wonder if you are interested in Shixu Media? If possible, I would like to meet with you."
Jiang Shunian couldn't believe it. How could he suddenly receive a call from Time Media? It couldn't be fake, could it?
He had heard Yu Yanchen say before that Shixu Media was backed by the Fu Group and was currently the best brokerage company in the industry. He was so lucky!
He immediately replied, "Hello Ms. Lin, I'm glad you contacted me. I can meet with you in person."
"Are you currently filming for the TV series 'Nine Heavens Palace'? I wonder what the filming schedule is like? I can come to the film studio."
Jiang Shunian was even more surprised. Was the other party really that sincere? He quickly replied, "Do you have time tomorrow night? I only have daytime scenes tomorrow."
He's filming night scenes tonight, and if all goes well, he can finish filming them all.
"sure."
Lin Yue smiled slightly upon hearing Jiang Shunian's voice, "I look forward to meeting you, Mr. Jiang."
After she hung up the phone, she replied to the manager, who in turn quickly replied to Fu Yanli's assistant.
They had no idea why Fu Yanli would suddenly pay attention to Jiang Shunian. Could it be that he had taken a liking to her?
Everyone knows that Fu Yanli is over thirty and has never been in a relationship. Although he founded Shixu Media, he doesn't pay much attention to it. He only reviews a few key film and television projects and doesn't usually care much about the development of Shixu.
Why would they suddenly sign a minor artist this time?
Considering what Mrs. Shen Lingyi did before, it seems she really has her eye on him.
But Jiang Shunian is already married with children, and is definitely heterosexual. What will happen in the future? Is their boss trying to break up their family? What will happen to public relations if this comes to light?
The manager scratched his head in frustration and told Lin Yue that when negotiating, he must ask tactfully whether Jiang Shunian was currently married.
Putting everything else aside, the president of the Fu Group can't be a mistress!
Jiang Shunian checked Lin Yue's information and found that she was indeed a talent agent from Shixu Media. She was extremely capable and very famous in the industry, having managed many award-winning actors and actresses. Jiang Shunian was uneasy, wondering why she had suddenly contacted him, which almost affected the evening's filming.
When filming ended, it was nearly midnight. Jiang Shunian carefully carried the sleeping Nuonuo and, instead of going back to Yu Yanchen's place, booked a room at a nearby hotel.
Nuonuo briefly woke up while getting on the elevator. When she saw that the person she was holding was her father, she smiled sweetly and then fell asleep again.
That evening, Lin Yue texted Jiang Shunian to say that he had arrived at the film studio and was waiting for him in a private room at a nearby teahouse.
Jiang Shunian didn't bring Nuonuo with him, but entrusted her to Ranqing for care.
Ranqing readily agreed and took Nuonuo out for a big meal. It wasn't far from the teahouse, so she could rush over immediately if Jiang Shunian needed her.
Nono has been a little unhappy these days because his dad has been working longer hours and has spent less time with him. But he understands his dad because his dad is working for him.
Well, there's still a little bit of disappointment.
While eating, Ranqing noticed that Nuonuo's little face was pouting and she wasn't eating with much interest. Ranqing asked softly, "Nuonuo, baby, what's wrong?"
“I didn’t chat with my dad last night.” They used to chat every night.
Ranqing patted his little head: "Because Daddy needs to earn money to support Nuonuo."
"I know," Nuonuo said in her sweet little voice, which then trembled with tears. "It's Nuonuo's fault for spending money. I wish I could earn money to support Daddy."
He raised his delicate and adorable little face, his dark golden eyes filled with seriousness: "Sister Ranqing, can I act? I'm not afraid of hardship."
Ranqing was absolutely charmed; how could this little guy be so adorable!
"When your sister finds a suitable role for Nuonuo, she'll definitely ask you to play it, okay?" Ranqing replied. "By the way, you can also work with your dad and film a parent-child variety show."
This is a newly emerging variety show. The first season was a huge hit last year. With her looks and personality, Nuonuo is definitely destined to become a popular child star.
"A parent-child variety show?" Nono didn't quite understand and looked at Ranqing for answers.
"It's about going on a trip with your dad, doing tasks, being able to stay with him all the time, and even earning money!"
Jiang Yunnuo's eyes lit up instantly. Wow, he's going to participate in a parent-child variety show!
The unique aroma of Biluochun tea wafted from the tea room not far away. Jiang Shunian arrived ten minutes early and was relieved to see that it was indeed Lin Yue. He smiled and shook hands with her, saying, "Hello, Ms. Lin, I am Jiang Shunian."
Lin Yue also quickly assessed Jiang Shunian with her professional eye. She had excellent features, fair and radiant skin, and clear and firm eyes. She would be considered a top beauty even in the entertainment industry.
No wonder President Fu took a liking to him.
She also watched the roles Jiang Shunian had played before today. Her acting skills were very good. Even though there were some traces of technique, she was quick to understand and had great potential.
What's even more remarkable is his down-to-earth nature; he won't go astray and would rather leave the entertainment industry than accept unspoken rules.
Even if President Fu hadn't mentioned it, she would have wanted to sign it anyway.
"Mr. Jiang, please have a seat." Lin Yue said with a smile, "I saw you on the trending topics. That promotional photo was unforgettable, and your acting skills and character perfectly match the requirements of Shixu Media. So, knowing that you haven't signed with a management company yet, I took the liberty of contacting you, hoping that we can reach a cooperation agreement. Are you familiar with Shixu Media? Although it was established not long ago, it is backed by the Fu family, and President Fu has also given us a lot of support. At present, its development is very stable."
"Of course I've heard about it, and I'm honored to have this opportunity to join you." Jiang Shunian was still a little dizzy, feeling like it wasn't real.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Yue began discussing the collaboration, directly presenting an A-level contract and discussing it point by point with Jiang Shunian. Jiang Shunian cooperated actively, and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
After a pot of tea, a preliminary agreement on cooperation was reached. Lin Yue did not urge Jiang Shunian to sign the contract immediately, but gave him five days to consider it.
“Shu Nian, I know a little about your past experiences. I personally admire and respect your character, but there are still some things that need to be clarified beforehand.” Lin Yue finally steered the conversation to this point. “I saw on Weibo that you already have a child, but you didn’t mention who your partner is. Is she a non-celebrity? Are you married?”
Jiang Shunian knew this was a question he had to ask to prevent future revelations, but he couldn't say anything about being able to have children right now—it was too strange. He could only say, "As I said on my Weibo, Nuonuo came into this world by accident and doesn't have a partner. I haven't let anyone down, nor have I married anyone. I'm sorry I can't go into details."
Lin Yue's expression was somewhat serious, clearly indicating that she couldn't understand and felt that Jiang Shunian was irresponsible.
Jiang Shunian held the pale blue teacup in his hands, bit his lip, and looked dejected. His explanation was indeed far-fetched. If Lin Yue couldn't accept it, they would have to miss the opportune moment.
"So Nuonuo was born via surrogacy?" Lin Yue asked sharply. "If that's the case, then we can't reach an agreement."
"No, no, Nuonuo is definitely not a surrogate!" Jiang Shunian explained anxiously. How could he do something that violates the law? "Although there are some issues with Nuonuo's background, it really does not violate any public order or good morals, nor does it violate the law."
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and replied, "Your situation is rather complicated. I need to communicate with the manager and will contact you again once there are any results, is that alright?"
"OK."
Jiang Shunian sighed inwardly, already feeling that there was no hope.
After Jiang Shunian finished, he called Ran Qing. Ran Qing hadn't finished eating yet. When Jiang Shunian arrived, he didn't order any extra food. He took the food that Nuonuo couldn't finish and ate a few bites of it.
"What's wrong, Shu Nian? Did the conversation not go well?" Ran Qing asked him.
Jiang Shunian nodded without saying anything more.
Nuonuo looked up at Jiang Shunian, reached out her little hand and touched his face, her eyes very serious: "It's okay, Daddy, Nuonuo will earn money to support you!"
Jiang Shunian's depressed mood was instantly soothed. He lowered his head and kissed Nuonuo's little head: "Okay, Daddy will wait for Nuonuo to take care of me."

Lin Yue returned to Shixu Media and told the manager everything about her conversation with Jiang Shunian that evening. She had a feeling that Jiang Shunian was fine, but since it involved President Fu, she didn't dare to make a decision on her own.
The manager hadn't expected Jiang Shunian to refuse to reveal who the child's mother was. He touched his thinning hair again, pondering how to report to President Fu.
After Lin Yue left, the manager called President Fu's assistant, told him about Jiang Shunian's situation, and asked if they should investigate Jiang Shunian's background.
The other party told the manager to wait for news, and that he would report to General Manager Fu.
Ever since Fu Yanli was taken aback by his mother, he had been in a bad mood. However, he was always restrained and wouldn't let his emotions affect his work, so no one around him noticed.
He didn't know why he was being moved by a minor actor, even though he had been searching for the boy from four years ago.
As for having Shi Xu's people contact Jiang Shunian, it wasn't to take advantage of her position. It was simply because they felt that she had been blacklisted for refusing to accept unspoken rules and that it wasn't easy for her to raise her child alone now. Of course, most importantly, she was a good actress, which met Shi Xu's requirements.
He was framed back then and there were things he was powerless to do. Now that he holds a high position, he is willing to protect some people.
It was at this moment that the assistant knocked on the door and came in to report on Jiang Shunian's situation.
"Mr. Fu, should I investigate Jiang Shunian?"
