Xu Zhaozhao choked.
Thanks for the invitation, I just had a meal.
He rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll stop his misbehavior now."
"Wait, wait, wait..."
Just before Xu Zhaozhao was about to hang up, Sister Yan called out to her.
"Um... it's not like we're doing anything reckless. We need you to come to the Holy Court to sign the contract; filming starts tomorrow..."
Yan Jie's voice trailed off, "I can't leave here with the artists, Sister Zhao, you..."
"Okay, I'll go by myself."
Xu Zhaozhao thought for two seconds and then agreed.
They've forgotten their old love once they found a new one.
The previous contract was supposed to be signed by Sister Yan, but now that there's a different investor, the previous one is invalid.
"Don't worry, Sister Zhao, I'll let him soar after I've mentored him. He'll definitely serve you well then!"
Yan Jie's righteous voice came over, giving Xu Zhaozhao goosebumps.
"Get out of here, you're making me feel like I'm forcing someone into prostitution. You just keep doing your thing."
After saying that, Xu Zhaozhao hung up the phone.
Anyway, she doesn't have anything else to do, so she can come to the Holy Court to sign a contract by herself.
After hanging up the phone, the page automatically redirected back to the chat interface with Gu Qingyan.
He's going to be at the Holy See this afternoon, so wouldn't that mean...?
You might not even encounter that. Who's so arrogant as to sign a contract in the CEO's office?
Xu Zhaozhao frowned and thought for a moment before slowly tapping the screen.
Shh: Don't look for me, I'm just lying around at home today.
Shh: You earn money to support the family, I eat, drink, and relieve myself. [Grinning face]
Piglet: Okay. [Happy]
Xu Zhaozhao was amused by his reply.
I put my phone down again and went to change my clothes.
Xu Zhaozhao wisely chose to wear flat shoes, as she was going to have to wear 8cm high heels for the next few days.
At the height of the controversy, Xu Zhaozhao is keeping a low profile as much as possible.
He wore suspender pants, a sun-protective jacket, a black hat, a black mask, and sunglasses.
As Xu Zhaozhao passed the kitchen on her way out, she paused.
He turned and walked to the freezer, took out a strawberry mousse cake, and got into the car.
The Holy Court is not far from the villa, and it's not rush hour now; it only takes ten minutes to get there.
Xu Zhaozhao has an elevator card, so she should be able to go directly to the floor where the contract was signed.
But... Sister Yan didn't tell her which floor the contract was for!
I called Yan Jie back, but no one answered.
Xu Zhaozhao had no choice but to ask the front desk, but the front desk was also vague and said they didn't know.
Quite by chance, Xu Zhaozhao ran into Gou Ge, who was coming out of the elevator, and Gou Ge also happened to see Xu Zhaozhao.
"Oh my, Madam, what brings you here?"
Gou Ge walked over with a fawning expression, unable to suppress his smile.
Xu Zhaozhao sensed that the way the receptionist looked at her had changed.
She subconsciously raised her hand to pull the black three-piece suit over her face, hoping that she wouldn't be recognized.
"I'm here to sign the contract for Director Dai's new film. Do you know which floor it's on and who to sign it with?"
Xu Zhaozhao even deliberately made her voice a little deeper.
"I know, I know."
Gou Ge nodded vigorously, "This movie was personally signed by the president, so we need to go to the president to sign the contract."
Xu Zhaozhao rolled her eyes fiercely, her almond-shaped eyes hidden behind her sunglasses.
He was so busy that he complained to her, how could he possibly have time to sign each contract for this role?
It's obvious.
This special trait is unique to her.
Xu Zhaozhao accepted it well; she had already guessed it before she came.
Let's go.
Carrying the small cake in her hand, she lowered her head and quickly walked into the elevator with Gou Ge.
The elevator goes directly to the CEO's office on the top floor.
"Please, Madam..."
Before Gou Ge could finish speaking, Xu Zhaozhao walked out of the elevator on her own.
This wasn't her first time here; she was very familiar with the layout.
When Gou caught up, he saw that Xu Zhaozhao didn't even knock on the door, but just pushed it open and walked into the president's office.
His steps, tinged with worldly wisdom, stopped at the doorway, watching helplessly as it closed, not daring to take another step forward.
Xu Zhaozhao walked into the office, which was not as brightly lit as it had been during the live interview.
The background of the floor-to-ceiling window has been set to frosted, so not much light can get in.
As Xu Zhaozhao walked, she observed Gu Qingyan, who was reading a document in his hand.
They're putting on quite a serious act.
Xu Zhaozhao walked right up to him, but he didn't even look up at her.
Suddenly, she chuckled softly, "Mr. Gu, you're holding your documents upside down."
Gu Qingyan instinctively tried to turn the document in his hand around, only to realize that he had been holding the correct one all along.
He closed the file and placed it on the table. "You found out."
His attention wasn't on the documents in his hands at all; it had shifted the moment she stepped into the company.
Not a single one left.
Xu Zhaozhao pushed the cake in her hand in front of him, unwrapped it, and put a small fork in front of him.
"Eat something, you probably didn't eat lunch properly again."
There's no need to ask Brother Gou.
If this guy eats lunch properly, he'll definitely "brag" to her on WeChat.
So before leaving the house, she made a point of grabbing a piece of strawberry mousse.
After handing it over, Xu Zhaozhao sat down in the leather chair in front of Gu Qingyan without any politeness.
A document was placed in front of her; it was the contract for "Holding an Umbrella for Her".
Gu Qingyan was focused on eating his cake, while Xu Zhaozhao was intently reviewing the contract.
Last time, Xu Zhaozhao was tricked by the "cooperation in publicity" clause in the contract, so she paid special attention to that clause this time.
This contract is so common that asking it to be deleted would make her seem like she's trying to be special.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Zhaozhao finally picked up the pen and signed her name at the end.
She had also read the script; she played Ming Shu's official love interest, the wife of a warlord.
But in the movie, that warlord is just a supporting character who is assassinated and seriously injured, serving as the fuse for the power struggle.
We can't expect her to create a romantic pairing with someone, can we? What's so great about pairing someone with a dying warlord?
Xu Zhaozhao convinced herself and signed the contract.
When she looked up, Gu Qingyan was still leisurely eating his strawberry mousse.
She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Why did you invest in this movie?"
Gu Qingyan looked up at her, his Adam's apple bobbing, and swallowed the cake in his mouth.
"for you."
He stated bluntly, "If you want to film, you definitely can."
Xu Zhaozhao had a vague idea, but when he actually said it in a deep voice, it still made her heart race.
"You really are..."
She avoided his gaze, saying, "I've finished signing, I..."
Xu Zhaozhao tried to use her escape technique, but as soon as she stood up, her hand was grabbed.
The next second, she was pulled into someone's arms.
"Give me a hug before you go."
She was enveloped in heat, and her cheeks felt a little itchy. "I'm not lying to you, I really miss you."
I'll resort to all sorts of despicable tricks to get you to appear before me...
