Chapter 48: Contract of an A-List Celebrity at Kaiyue
“Ms. Jing Yu, there’s a rumor about you having dinner with a mysterious man. Can we expect an engagement soon?”
“Dear Madam, are you sure you’ll participate in the shooting of “Xian Ni 2″ during your trip back in China this time?”
“…”
The reporters scrambled to ask Jing Yu questions, and the cameras’ flash sound never stopped.
To prevent herself from being hit by someone, Song Qinghuan stood a little farther, but she still heard the name reporters called out in the noisy lobby.
Jing Yu, why was she here at Minghua at this time?
The woman surrounded by the crowd had fair skin. She had a gentle temperament like water with a light smile on the corner of her mouth. The years going by seemed to leave no trace on her. Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to hers, Song Qinghuan was quite calm at this moment.
Jing Yu kept silent. She raised her head and walked out escorted by bodyguards and agents. She accidentally saw a girl outside the crowd. At that moment, Jing Yu paused and looked away calmly.
The reporters chased Jing Yu to the outside of the hotel. After the crowds dispersed, Song Qinghuan rubbed her ears. It was really noisy.
The 22nd floor of Minghua Hotel was a uniquely shaped restaurant with complete transparency. You could watch the night view of Wan’ning City through the window while dining.
At this time, it was not even six o’clock, and there was no night view yet. However, one was able to enjoy the beauty of the sunset.
“President Song, you can rest assured that we will carefully plan the advertisement, and within a month, we will definitely let Song’s popularity skyrocket in Wan’ning City!” The man smiled and pushed forward the contract he brought over while smiling and making promises to the other party. His attitude showed full flattery.
Song Yueming had always been serious, even at the negotiating table. However, for Song Qinghuan, Song Yueming’s “strict father” image had been completely changed since she knew about his affair.
Song Mingxiu next to Song Yueming was the first one who noticed Song Qinghuan who was coming in. At that moment, a smile appeared on Song Mingxiu’s face. Song Mingxiu had been with the company for only one year. He was literally a young man who just started his career. However, his look was chilling and cold. The glasses sent by Song Qinghuan were placed on the bridge of his nose, and the smile in his eyes showed no sincerity, fading away very soon
“Looking forward to nice cooperation.”
“Looking forward to nice cooperation.”
Song Qinghuan did not go over and disturb. She watched Song Yueming signing the contract with the other party instead. They then shook hands, and the other party left with a satisfied smile after the contract was signed.
“Huanhuan.” Song Mingxiu waved to Song Qinghuan at the entrance of the restaurant, “Come here.”
Song Qinghuan didn’t really want to go.
Song Mingxiu’s tone and movements gave her the illusion that she was a pet!
Resisting the urge to turn around and leave, Song Qinghuan walked towards the table where Song Yueming and Song Mingxiu were sitting. With a shy smile on her face, she said hello to the two of them, “Dad, Brother, if you had told me in advance, I could have picked you up at the airport.”
Song Yueming nodded to her daughter. Although his tone was still cold, it was more relaxed than when they signed the contract. He said, “Sit.”
Song Mingxiu got up and pulled the dining chair for Song Qinghuan. After raising his hand to attract the waiter’s attention, he said to Song Qinghuan, “I called you before. But your phone was off.”
Song Qinghuan blinked and took the menu that Song Mingxiu handed to her. She pretended to look at the menu carefully and said with a smile, “I was in class at that time, so I used the flight mode habitually.”
Song Qinghuan pointed at the menu and ordered two dishes that Song Yueming liked before ordering for Song Mingxiu. Then Song Mingxiu took the menu and ordered several dishes that Song Qinghuan loved.
Song Yueming got used to it already. He didn’t need to order food at all as his children remembered his preferences.
Song Yueming asked Song Qinghuan a few simple questions about her studies and told her that she could ask for more if her pocket money was not enough. Finally, Song Yueming took out a gift box from his suit jacket and gave it to Song Qinghuan.
“What?” Song Qinghuan put down the chopsticks in her hand and opened the gift box after Song Yueming signalled. There was a car key lying inside.
“You are equipped with a car now and you can go home on weekends or whenever you don’t have classes.”
The home Song Yueming was referring to was the villa that the old lady prepared for them in Wan’ning City.
Song Qinghuan had a driver’s license. She and Song Shuyao got the licenses together. Initially, Song Mingxiu wanted to get a driver’s license, and Song Yueming sent all three children to learn to drive for the sake of convenience.
Song Qinghuan’s fingertips touched the car key, but her mood was very complicated. She blinked, and somehow her attractive eyes were already filled with tears. She held the key in her hand tightly and looked at Song Yueming, “Thank you, Dad.”
“Let’s eat.” Song Yueming didn’t say much. During the meal, he told Song Mingxiu about some work-related matters.
Song Mingxiu did not shy away. He directly told Song Yueming that he had invested in Kaiyue Entertainment. Song Qinghuan pretended to eat quietly, but she actually listened to the conversation between Song Yueming and his son intently.
Sure enough, it was the same as the plot of the previous life: Song Mingxiu successfully bought shares in Kaiyue Entertainment.
The dinner was only halfway through, and Song Yueming got up and left after receiving a call. Song Qinghuan sat close. When Song Yueming answered the call, she heard a female voice on the phone. Although the voice was vague on the phone, she still heard it.
It was the girl she ran into in the airport parking lot!
After Song Yueming left, Song Mingxiu took a sip of red wine and said to Song Qinghuan with a casual gesture, “Do you still remember your 16th birthday wish?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Song Qinghuan was baffled by Song Mingxiu’s question out of nowhere. Sixteen, it was only two years ago for Song Mingxiu. But for Song Qinghuan, it was two lifetimes ago.
But Song Mingxiu took her silence as fear, and his voice became a little softer. He said, “Don’t be afraid, you’ve got your big brother. I once said, as long as you like, I can do anything for you.”
Song Qinghuan remembered it now. She said to Song Mingxiu that she wanted everyone to hear her song at the age of 16.
Song Mingxiu took out a Kaiyue Entertainment A-level celebrity brokerage contract and handed it to Song Qinghuan. Song Qinghuan’s way to become popular was astonishingly different in the entertainment industry in recent years.
She didn’t take advantage of her popularity. Instead, when everyone was talking about her, Song Qinghuan, who was the person concerned, didn’t take any action. The only thing the fans who were attracted by her musical talents could watch were those bad quality competition videos online.
As a businessman, Song Mingxiu had a unique view. Since he had already invested in Kaiyue Entertainment, he was absolutely unwilling to remain merely a shareholder. Also, the company faced a large number of player termination lawsuits during this time.
The poached players enjoyed a certain level of popularity. This kind of dilemma of Kaiyue could be a tough one for someone else. But for Song Mingxiu who was taking advantage of the incident, this was a chance to penetrate into Kaiyue.
He wanted to cultivate a top-level artist, and this person should be loyal to him, so Song Mingxiu went through a list of potential players and finally selected Song Qinghuan as the one.
