Chapter 50: Gift

“What did you say?” Manager Chen looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief. He could not believe his ears.

Qian Xiu was a famous female clothing brand in the industry and was a resource that many first-rate female stars could only dream of. As a third-rate female star who was covered in negative news, it was already a great honor for Qian Xiu to look for her. Who would have thought that she would actually reject her?!

“Xiao Xia, this endorsement is pretty good. Why didn’t you accept it?” Chen Yun was also a little confused. He pulled Xia Wanyuan to the side and asked quietly.

“It’s like signing a contract. We can’t break the contract no matter what others do. What’s so good about signing such a contract?”

Xia Wanyuan didn’t know much about modern contracts, but in times of war, in order to raise resources, she had also sought support from rich businessmen.

Businessmen pursued profit. He was willing to provide you with help because he wanted to obtain things that were far more valuable than the resources he provided.

Since Qian Xiu had such a big reputation, they definitely did not look for a small celebrity like her for commercial value. Then there must be other values on her that Qian Xiu did not dare to mention publicly, but wanted to get.

Chen Yun still wanted to say something, but Xia Wanyuan had already placed the contract on the table and stood up to leave.

“Hey, Xiao Xia!” Chen Yun reached out to hold Xia Wanyuan, but he did not touch her. He could only turn around and apologize to Manager Chen.

“I’m sorry, Manager Chen. I can’t force an artist to sign a contract. I’m so sorry.” Chen Yun lowered his head and bowed to Manager Chen.

Unexpectedly, Manager Chen seemed to be even more flustered than Chen Yun. “Our company really thinks that Miss Xia suits our image very well. Why don’t we arrange another time to talk?”

Manager Chen thought about the instructions given by the higher-ups and was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would not be able to sign the contract. He hurriedly arranged a meeting with Chen Yun.

“Okay, okay.” Chen Yun was a little suspicious when he saw how eagerly Qian Xiu was treating him, but he still maintained his enthusiasm on the surface.

As soon as Chen Yun walked out of the meeting room, Manager Chen called the outside. “Assistant Liu, that Xia Wanyuan refuses to sign the contract. She said that there’s a problem with the breach of contract.”

…

“Sigh okay. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely settle this.”

After hanging up the phone, Manager Chen contacted the marketing and public relations department.

Meanwhile, in the coffee shop facing Qian Xiu Corporation, Assistant Liu was looking at Xuan Sheng on the sofa with a troubled expression.

“Young Master, that woman refuses to sign the contract. I think she saw something wrong.”

“Young Master?”

Assistant Liu called out a few times but Xuan Sheng did not reply. The assistant then realized that Xuan Sheng was looking out of the window. He followed Xuan Sheng’s gaze and his eyes lit up.

A light blue figure was walking out of the building. Needless to say, she was extremely beautiful. Her skin was as fair as jade and her temperament was as cold as the moon and frost. It was as if she was a snow lotus on a towering snow mountain. Her beauty was pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

“My trip here was really worth it.”

It was only when the blue-clothed woman left his line of sight that Xuan Sheng retracted his gaze. He stroked his chin as if he had not had enough.

“Young Master?” Assistant Liu called out again.

Xuan Sheng stretched his legs and placed his hands behind his head. He leaned on the sofa relaxed. “I’ve changed my mind. Go and tell Qian Xiu to remove the breaching clause. Consider it a gift from me.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

After leaving the Qian Xiu building, Xia Wanyuan went to the production team.

Previously, Xia Wanyuan had brought funds into the production team, but she had been too bored to join the production team. The others had actually filmed a long time ago.

After Xia Wanyuan joined the production team, she didn’t have many scenes. In half a month, she had almost finished filming all the scenes involving the Heavenly Spirit Princess. During this period of time, Xia Wanyuan had been resting at home while the others were still working on the production team. The filming of the Long Ballad was also nearing its end.

“Director Yang.” There were not many people in the production team now. The scenes for the remaining supporting roles would probably be completed in two days.

“Eh? Xiao Xia, you’re here.” Director Yang smiled and waved at Xia Wanyuan when he saw her.

In order to screen the television drama during the summer break, the production team of “The Long Ballad” adopted a method of editing while filming. In recent days, the first editing had already been completed under the overtime work of the staff.

After watching the edited scenes, Director Yang was very satisfied with Xia Wanyuan’s performance. He even felt that Xia Wanyuan did not have enough scenes and wished he could include all the scenes she had filmed.

“Director, do you have any plans for me today?”

“Didn’t you just join the production team? We’re about to enter the publicity phase. They’ve already filmed the poster. You injured your foot a few days ago, so the production team isn’t busy today. Go and film.”

“Alright.”

The Heavenly Spirit Princess had three main stages. She was the princess who had been respected as a young girl, the dancer after the country was destroyed, and the beloved concubine after the country was restored.

As a result, Xia Wanyuan took a long time to film. By the time all the filming was completed, the sky had already darkened.

“That’s great! That was great! Thank you for your hard work.” The photographer looked at the photos that were filled with satisfaction. He had long heard that Xia Wanyuan was an arrogant and despotic person, but he didn’t expect her to come for the shoot today.

Not only was she very cooperative, but she also did not complain about being tired after working for such a long time. She dutifully completed the necessary actions for the shoot, which impressed the cameraman greatly.

As usual, Jun Shiling got off work early and returned to the manor, but the house was empty.

Xiao Bao had not gone home yet. The familiar figure that he usually saw lying on the sofa when he got home was nowhere to be seen today.

For the past few days, whenever he went home, either Xiao Bao would throw himself into his arms or Xia Wanyuan would turn around to greet him. Now that he was suddenly alone, Jun Shiling suddenly felt empty.

“Where are they?”

Jun Shiling sat quietly for a while. When no one came back, he went to look for Uncle Wang.

“Little Master finished school late today. Didn’t Madam go out with you? Why didn’t she come back with you?!”

Uncle Wang seemed even more surprised than Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling had sent Xia Wanyuan out in the morning. He had thought that he would bring Xia Wanyuan back together that night, so he had not prepared another car for her.

“Aiyo, it’s already so late. Madam still has a leg injury. Let me quickly call Madam.”

Uncle Wang hurriedly went to contact Xia Wanyuan.

A minute later…

“Young Master, Madam is still on set. The filming has just ended, so I’ll send a car over to pick her up immediately.” Uncle Wang contacted Xia Wanyuan and was relieved.

However, just as Uncle Wang finished speaking, Jun Shiling stood up and strode out.

“Young Master?”

“I’ll pick her up,” Jun Shiling said, leaving Uncle Wang standing rooted to the ground.

Looking at Jun Shiling’s back view gradually disappear into the distance, a relieved smile appeared in Uncle Wang’s eyes.

After filming, Xia Wanyuan left the film studio and slowly strolled the streets.

After a day of filming in high heels, even though Xia Wanyuan’s foot injury had healed, it had been too long and it was starting to ache.

An unknown fragrance drifted over from the street. Xia Wanyuan looked at the various delicacies and luxurious clothes in the display windows by the street and did not notice a small stone that had been thrown by someone.

She stepped on it and staggered a little. It affected the old injury on her foot and she lost her balance.

“Miss, be careful.”

A smiling male voice sounded from behind.
