Chapter 19: The Contract Fell Through
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Youyou was pleased by Shi Yuan’s flattery, but she frowned in hesitation. Finally, she sighed and said, “Fine, I’ll help you this once.” After speaking, she got up and made two phone calls, one to Holy View Entertainment and the other to her mother.
“It’s settled.” Soon, Shen Youyou returned, smiling gently at Shi Yuan.
…
Fu Xiaoya was having a meal and chatting with Fu Song and Qin Huaichen. During their conversation, she learned about the relationship between her brother and Qin Huaichen. It turned out they were classmates from middle school to university. No wonder she always felt that their relationship was peculiar. They were actually quite familiar with each other.
Shortly after, Fu Xiaoya’s phone rang. Seeing the landline number on the screen, she suspected it might be a call from her company. However, in that instant, she sensed that the call didn’t warrant a positive response from her.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Song noticed that Fu Xiaoya’s expression was not good after she answered the call and asked with concern.
Fu Xiaoya forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing.”
“The contract fell through?” Qin Huaichen asked bluntly. Such incidents were common in the entertainment industry.
“It’s nothing. They are willing to compensate with a breach of contract fee of 100,000 yuan, which is not bad,” Fu Xiaoya pretended to be magnanimous and shook her head. It was her first job search, and she didn’t expect to encounter unspoken rules. Feeling disappointed would be an understatement, after all, earning money was not easy.
“What’s the situation with Holy View Entertainment?” Fu Song furrowed his brow. Initially, Holy View Entertainment approached him for investment, but he found it too small and didn’t invest.
“I’ll go out for a moment. You guys continue eating.” Fu Song stopped smiling and picked up his phone before heading outside.
“Brother!” Fu Xiaoya was worried that Fu Song would cause trouble at Holy View Entertainment, and she was about to get up and follow him, but she was stopped by Qin Huaichen.
“It’s fine. Just sit and wait,” Qin Huaichen skillfully sliced the beef, a subtle smile gracing his lips with an air of composure. It seemed that there was a high probability that Holy View Entertainment would change ownership.
Fu Xiaoya turned her head and slowly took a seat, although she was worried about Fu Song. She looked at the brightly lit surroundings and thought about Shen Nanhai’s fawning attitude towards Qin Huaichen. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke up, “Can you help me with the situation at Holy View Entertainment?” Even though she hadn’t stepped into the entertainment industry yet and couldn’t bring any benefits to Qin Huaichen, this opportunity was rare, and she didn’t want to lose it.
Qin Huaichen continued eating, his head slightly lowered, without immediately responding to Fu Xiaoya’s request.
“State your conditions.” Fu Xiaoya didn’t expect Qin Huaichen to agree immediately.
Qin Huaichen had initially hesitated about taking credit away from Fu Song, but he changed his mind now. “Fine, I will help you with the contract.”
“What are your conditions?” Fu Xiaoya asked, curious.
Qin Huaichen looked towards the adjacent table where a couple sat, intimately feeding each other. He lifted his chin slightly, gesturing for Fu Xiaoya to look over.
Following his gaze, Fu Xiaoya glanced at the adjacent table. The girl there was attempting to kiss the boy, aiming for his cheek, but he happened to turn his head, resulting in their lips meeting.
From Fu Xiaoya’s position, she could only see the girl’s flushed earlobe and her brows furrowed as she contemplated whether she should play along with the situation.
“What I mean is, accompany me for a walk outside,” Qin Huaichen said. Initially, he had intended for Fu Xiaoya to witness others feeding each other and then have her do the same to him. But he hadn’t expected the couple at the adjacent table to progress so quickly, kissing each other in an instant.
Qin Huaichen noticed the resistance in Fu Xiaoya’s eyes, which appeared cold and unfamiliar. Yet, he was the only one who still remembered his little angel and every word she had spoken.
His little angel had told him, “Big brother is a bright star in the sky, but the star fell ill. One day, when big brother recovers, he will come to marry her while stepping on a cloud.”
It was this sentence that gave Qin Huaichen the will to keep going. Now that he was better, his little angel was nowhere to be found. Finally meeting her again, she no longer recognized him.
Qin Huaichen placed his hand under the table, his fingers slightly tensed, struggling to control his emotions. He had spent twenty-three years learning restraint, but upon seeing her, it all crumbled in an instant. He was willing to give everything unconditionally for her, yet selfishly desired more time to be with her.
He released the tight grip on his bones, and softly said, “Just a walk.”
Fu Xiaoya was taken aback by Qin Huaichen’s words. His condition seemed too simple, didn’t it?
“If you want me to kiss you, I can do that too,” Fu Xiaoya knew that when asking for help, she should adopt a certain attitude.
Qin Huaichen’s face grew stern, he didn’t say a word and simply walked away. He didn’t want her with that kind of attitude!
