Chapter 59 He really wanted to buy a big house and leave this bizarre family as quickly as possible.
Xia Mian ultimately chose Oriental Entertainment.
Although it was tiring and tough, it was clear that they had their own tiered plan for developing artists, which helped him climb the ladder step by step, perfectly matching his requirements.
But before signing the contract, he had one crucial question: "Brother Wei, you guys aren't trying to create a persona for me, are you?"
He said he would become famous with integrity and honor, and he promised Zhang Yuno to always be himself, and he must keep his promise.
Zhao Wei laughed again: "I said yesterday that what I like most about you is your personality, so I will not only not force you to create a persona, but I will also amplify your own characteristics. That is your treasure."
Pshaw, he's got a lot to offer. For example, he wouldn't believe a stranger's verbal promise: "Add it to the contract."
"OK, no problem."
“Oh right, there’s one more thing,” Xia Mian almost forgot, “Do you restrict your artists from dating? Although I’m not dating, I might get married during my first contract period.”
To allay Xia Mian's concerns, Oriental Entertainment offered her a contract with a term of one year. If the cooperation went well, the contract would be automatically renewed, but if the cooperation was not going well, it could be terminated at the end of each term.
This can help avoid the difficulties of protecting one's rights.
Zhao Wei frowned: "You should be able to tell that my plan for you is to be a leading actor, and to gradually move towards serious dramas and the big screen. Your love life won't have too much of an impact. However, you've just been through a few storms, so it's better to play it safe for now."
Extremes beget their opposites. Although the controversies he experienced ultimately yielded positive results, if he frequently appears on trending topics, it will gradually give people the illusion that "this celebrity is always getting into trouble, is there really something wrong with him?"
Summer sleep understands this principle.
Anyway, there's no chance of anything happening between her and Zhou Pingchuan yet, let's talk about it when it really comes to that.
After reading the contract from beginning to end, Xia Mian solemnly signed her name.
Because of the added clauses, the legal review and official seal need to be renewed, and the whole process will take about three days. Zhao Wei patted Xia Mian's arm and said, "Take a good rest these few days. I've already negotiated the FMCG advertising and variety show for you. Now you'll be the one doing the hard work."
They have to work non-stop to make money for the capitalists.
Summer hibernation inevitably brings a sense of melancholy.
He used to be a capitalist, but who knew that after transmigrating into a book, his identity would change to that of a donkey.
It's just that he had a too comfortable first half of his life.
Coincidentally, as he exited the gate of Oriental Entertainment, the wages that Yuantong had settled for him arrived in his account, amounting to more than 96,000 yuan.
The original owner had earned over 56,000 yuan, and the remaining 40,000 yuan was the payment for recording "Infinite"—after the profit sharing.
They've already apologized and fired the person; they wouldn't stoop to manipulating small sums of money. Yuantong should owe this much.
Xia Mian took a deep breath and suddenly remembered that Zhou Ting should have given the original owner 50,000 yuan, which was exactly the same as the original owner's reward.
He had previously considered returning the money to Zhou Ting and then going his separate ways. However, at the time, he felt it was a bit excessive to use Zhou Pingchuan's money to give to Zhou Ting, and planned to wait until he earned money himself before giving it to him.
Now it seems that it was fate, or perhaps the original owner had come to terms with it and wanted to sever all ties with Zhou Ting, which led to this coincidence.
Then he must fulfill the original owner's wish.
Too lazy to talk to Zhou Ting, Xia Mian eventually withdrew the 54,000 yuan in cash and put it in a small bag; the principal was 50,000 yuan and the interest was 4,000 yuan.
He planned to give the bag to Xia Mingzhao and ask her to pass it on to Zhou Ting.
As a result, when he got home, he had barely uttered the name "Zhou Ting" when Xia Mingzhao immediately became wary.
"What do you want with Zhou Ting?"
Tang Wenhua was fiddling with a jewelry box nearby when she heard Xia Mingzhao's tone was not good. Fearing a conflict between the two, she quickly ran over and said, "Mingzhao, let's hear what Mianmian has to say first."
Seeing Xia Mingzhao's suspicious and paranoid expression, Xia Mian didn't want to talk anymore. Even if he explained the situation clearly, Xia Mingzhao might still think he was trying to rekindle his old feelings for Zhou Ting.
Why not just wait until I see Zhou Ting and throw him into his arms?
“…It’s nothing,” Xia Mian changed her mind, “I just wanted to ask how Zhou Ting’s preparations for the wedding are going.”
"See, Mianmian means well and cares about you all," Tang Wenhua said, acting as a peacemaker and offering a simple lecture.
“Mianmian,” she turned to Xia Mian and spoke up for Xia Mingzhao, “The wedding is just around the corner. They’ve been staying up late lately and are a bit dazed. They don’t understand what’s going on. Don’t be angry with Mingzhao.”
It was clearly Xia Mingzhao who was sensitive, but in the end, it was attributed to him being quick to anger and prone to holding grudges.
Okay, okay, they're family.
He just doesn't have enough money right now, otherwise he really wants to buy a big house and leave this weird family as quickly as possible.
