Chapter 98:Formal Contracting
In the kitchen, Xu Ningzhou was standing in front of the countertop. The morning sunlight filtered from the window, creating a quiet and cozy scene.
Sitting on a chair in the restaurant, Song Qinghuan had turned her attention from the contract to Xu Ningzhou. She deeply engraved this scene in her mind. She couldn’t help sighing again, ‘A serious man is really handsome.’
Xu Ningzhu cut a scallion into pieces, turned the range hood on, heated the oil, put the scallion in the pan and began to fry. The apron he donned was the same style as that of Song Qinghuan.
On the winter morning, the atmosphere in the kitchen was very relaxing. After the scallion was fried, Xu Ningzhou took it out, and put in different proportions of soy sauce and sugar. When the water had boiled, Xu Ningzhou tore open the pouch and put some noddle into the pan. He stirred the noodle with his left hand holding a pair of chopsticks, and tasted the oil with his right hand holding a spoon.
Song Qinghuan snapped the scene. The photograph showed that Xu Ningzhou was standing sideways. Although his appearance was indistinct because of the bright sunlight, the whole picture was so beautiful as a painting.
At this moment, Song Qinghuan felt the long-lost warmth of the ‘home’.
By the time Song Qinghuan came to her senses, Xu Ningzhou had already prepared two bowls of oily noodles. After washing the pot, he began to boil the eggs again. Two golden fried eggs covered the noodles. They were tempting both in their appearance and taste.
They were sitting on the table. When Xu Ningzhou had stirred his noodles, he exchanged his share with that of Song Qinghuan. Then he held his chin with his hands and looked at her, “Try this.”
This was the first time he did it. Fortunately, the instruction on the Internet was not complicated.
Song Qinghuan liked to eat noodles. She flipped her wrist and wrapped the noodle on her chopsticks. Song Qinghuan was eating very gracefully, and chewed without making any sound. After taking a mouthful of noodles quietly and adorably, she raised her head and smiled at Xu Ningzhou, “How delicious.”
“That’s good.” Xu Ningzhou poured a cup of milk for her and put it aside. He let out a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, Song Qinghuan packed up the sandwich made by Xu Ningzhou and Qiu Meng’s contract.
When they went downstairs together, Song Qinghuan suddenly stood on tiptoe and sniffed at Xu Ningzhou.
Under Xu Ningzhou’s menacing gaze, Song Qinghuan smiled and waved at him, “You finally have a smell of ordinary mortals.”
In the past, Xu Ningzhou who stood high above the masses was other-worldly.
Song Qinghuan didn’t ask Xu Ningzhou to get herself home. Instead, she borrowed a running car from Xu Ningzhou’s garage and drove to pick up Qiu Meng. Both of them were busy after staying abroad for more than ten days.
At the door to the restaurant, Qiu Meng went into Song Qinghuan’s car. They went directly to Huanyu Entertainment. She had no class this morning. If they had signed the contract, Qiu Meng could directly move into the appartment the company arranged for Song Qinghuan and save time to find a house.
Xu Ningzhou had already informed Han Shuo of the signing of the contract. Han Shuo’s assistant had been waiting in front of the company early this morning. When the running car stopped in front of the company, journalists immediately noticed Song Qinghuan.
Half an hour later, the news about Song Qinghuan’s contract with Huanyu had already spread.
‘Why do the two sisters fight against each other?’
‘Song Qinghuan signed with Huanyu.’
‘Huanyu, Kaiyue, who is the leader of the entertainment circle?’
It was previously rumoured that Song Qinghuan and Song Shuyao were at odds with each other. At present, Song Qinghuan had signed with Huanyu, whereas Song Shuyao was at Kaiyue. They two had signed with the companies that had been rivals, which confirmed the rumour.
The President’s Office, Kaiyue Entertainment.
“I said long ago that Song Qinghuan is an ungrateful so-and-so. Look! She is now openly helping our rival beat us.” After reading the news that spread across the web, Song Shuyao pushed her elder brother’s office open.
Song Mingxiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Opposite the Kaiyue building was Huanyu.
“Brother!” Song Shuyao took a few steps towards him. Standing behind Song Mingxiu, she was about to speak, but said nothing at last. She would have acted like a spoiled child in the past. But now, Song Shuyao couldn’t understand Song Mingxiu. Furthermore, she was also afraid of Song Mingxiu.
“Go out.” Song Mingxiu said coldly. Song Shuyao stamped her feet, and eventually turned around angrily, not daring to be arrogant in front of Song Mingxiu.
She came in furiously, and left in annoyance.
“Deer lady.” Zhou Ming, who was waiting in the corridor, immediately went to welcome Song Shuyao.
Zhou Ming was Lan Xi’s manager before. After Lan Xi was shelved, he was now Song Shuyao’s manager. Furthermore, Song Shuyao possessed all Lan Xi’s resources.
As long as Song Shuyao didn’t err, she would be the second Lan Xi.
Zhou Ming had been in the circle for many years. Since he was good at reading others’ thoughts, he had succeeded in being promoted to the golden manager. Seeing that Song Shuyao was so angry, he had already guessed something.
Zhou Ming smiled and consoled her, “Deer lady, don’t worry. The most important person in Huanyu is Feifei. Even if Song Qinghuan has signed with Huanyu, she lags far behind you in terms of resources. In addition, there are many first-class entertainers in Huanyu. Although Song Qinghuan is a little famous, compared to those stars, she is still far behind them.”
“Shit.” Song Shuyao sneered, “She doesn’t deserve to compete with me, does she?”
“No, she doesn’t.” Zhou Ming smiled and quickly kept up with Song Shuyao. “We currently get the upper hand. Song Qinghuan’s contracting with Huanyu has confirmed that she has bad relations with you. The report prepared by the public relations department has already been issued. We don’t need to pay any attention to her now. At two in the afternoon, we need to arrive in advance to prepare for the shooting for the ‘lover’ magazine.”
Coming to a halt, Song Shuyao stood in front of the door and pressed the button. She smiled, “We are in no hurry.”
“What?”
Zhou Ming was a little confused. Although it was even more difficult to serve his bad-tempered employer than Lan Xi, she was quite cooperative in the schedule arrangement.
“Let’s go to take a look at my little sister.” Song Shuyao said with a smile.
Kaiyue was not far from Huanyu. After Zhou Ming made a call, Song Shuyao
knew that Song Qinghuan was still in Huanyu.
When it had reached a climax, Huanyu finally removed the mysterious veil and pronounced that Song Qinghuan had joined the Huanyu family.
Many of the A-list and B-list actors of Huanyu reposted the news on their social media, which brought Song Qinghuan into the spotlight again, and thus diverted attention away from Song Shuyao.
When the contracting ceremony came to an end, Song Qinghuan took a lift to go to the underground parking lot along with Qiu Meng. The staff from the security department of Huanyu had already driven her car into the parking lot.
When they came out from the lift, Qiu Meng asked, “Shall I drive the car?”
“No.” Song Qinghuan pressed the key to turn on the light of the sports car and opened the door. She said, “You can have some sandwiches in the car.”
“Ok.” Qiu Meng nodded and entered the car. After the door closed, Song Qinghuan handed Qiu Meng a box.
In it lay several sandwiches. Qiu Meng took one out, tore off foil, and had a bite. She squinted her eyes and said, “You have good cooking skills.”
“You are wrong. It is not me that made them.” Song Qinghuan smiled. She skillfully drove the car to leave the parking lot.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Hmm?” Qiu Meng took another bite.
Song Qinghuan smiled mischievously, “This was done by President Xu personally.”
Qiu Meng was choked.
