Zhou i shook her head and said worriedly, “Your father and I should accompany you the whole ti. You’re still young, and what do you know? You won’t even realize if soone tries to take advantage of you!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Chang, who had been labeled as a “human trafficker”, felt his facial muscles twitch a few tis.
Wen Nian realized that she wouldn’t be able to comprehend her parents’ thoughts for the ti being, but she didn’t feel an urgency to argue for a resolution at that mont. Her priority was to secure the agreent and sign the contract, so she gave Xu Chang a glance.
Upon seeing this, Xu Chang promptly handed the contract to the Wen couple. “Brother, Sister, please take a look at the contract first. If there’s anything you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask. Well sign it after making sure that everything is right.”
Wen Nian leaned closer to take a look as well. After all, she had signed nurous contracts in her previous life and had gained a lot of experience through trial and error.
Upon reading it, Wen Nian couldn’t help but admire Xu Chang for his kindness.
Since Xu Chang’s filming budget of five million yuan ca from his personal savings, and he planned to mortgage the city house that his parents had bought for him to secure a bank loan, he couldn’t offer a high salary. As a result, Wen Nian, the female lead, was only paid 200,000 yuan.
However, Xu Chang had included a clause in the contract stipulating that if the box office revenue exceeded 10 million yuan, he would pay Wen Nian an additional 800,000 yuan.
Zhou i and Wen Xing didn’t know much about the entertainnt industry, but to them, 200,000 yuan seed like a considerable amount.
Based on their previous salaries from their jobs, it would have taken Zhou i and Wen Xing several years of saving without any expenses to earn that amount. However, now they only needed to work on the film for two months to earn it.
The contract was signed smoothly, and after receiving it, Xu Chang eagerly headed back to the capital that sa night to prepare for mortgaging his property the next day. He was eager to start preparing for filming.
Wen Nian didn’t feel smug about her upcoming lead role in the highly anticipated movie. Instead, she felt a bit anxious about whether her acting skills were up to par to carry the film. She was also concerned that any mistakes she made could ruin Xu Chang’s future success.
Once Xu Chang found out, he took it upon himself to comfort Wen Nian. Being more confident than her, his reassurance helped ease her worries.
After Xu Chang left, Wen Nian continued to attend school and make-up classes.
The Shen family.
As Zhao Wu took a bite of the braised pig head at, his eyes lit up. He turned to the girl beside him who was eating vegetables with her head lowered and said in a disdainful tone, “Bai Ling, hurry up and eat two more pieces of at. I’ve been supporting you for two to three months and I haven’t seen any improvent in your weight. It makes uncomfortable to hug you while sleeping at night.”
Upon hearing Zhao Wu’s lewd words, Bai Ling’s face turned red with discomfort. She whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Observing her reaction, Zhao Wu felt tempted to tease her. He extended his index finger and lightly caressed Bai Ling’s chin. “I only ntioned that I’ll hold you tonight. I didn’t say anything else. Are you entertaining thoughts that you shouldn’t be having?”
Bai Ling only dared to glare at Zhao Wu. Her red face wished she could bury it in her chest and ignore him.
Shen Jun observed the interactions between Bai Ling and Zhao Wu and felt a mix of emotions. He couldn’t help but wonder when his uncle had changed so much. Two months ago, he had invited Bai Ling to the beach, and now he was bringing Bai Ling to his house. It was a completely new experience for Shen Jun.
When Zhao Wu saw Bai Ling’s expression, he knew that this was already her limit. He was afraid that if he continued to tease her, Bai Ling would be embarrassed and angry, so he smiled and changed the subject, saying “Niuniu, your little girlfriend’s culinary skills are not bad!”
Upon hearing this, the Shen family imdiately swapped their bowls of vegetable soup with Zhao Wu’s braised at plate. “Food can’t even stop you from talking. She has a boyfriend.”
Zhao Wu laughed disdainfully. “What’s the big deal? If you like it, just take it. And if you don’t know how, I can teach you. I guarantee you’ll learn how to do it!”
At that mont, Zhao Wu looked disheveled and aggressive. He was a far cry from the composed and professional deputy mayor depicted in official news reports.
Shen Jun smiled insincerely and said, “You don’t have to worry. Just eat your vegetables.”
Zhao Wu raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Alright, it seems like you still don’t understand the weight of my promise. If you change your mind and want to seek my advice later, I won’t help you unless you bring two braised pig heads as a gift!”
“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t give them a second chance, but you’re different. You’re my biological nephew, and I can’t bear to see you end up as an old virgin.”
After hearing Zhao Wu’s teasing, Shen Jun rolled his eyes and got up to put the braised at back in the fridge.
Zhao Wu quickly grabbed Shen Jun’s hand, took the plate back, and placed it in front of himself. “Let’s stop talking and eat..”
