“Yun Feiwu?”
Xia Shutong’s pupils slightly dilated – when did she make plans with Yun Feiwu? Although she had lost her memory, Qian Lingling’s work reports never mentioned anything about it.
Xia Shutong could tell that even Qian Lingling was confused at the moment.
But with Xia Hongtao still by her side, it was not convenient to ask further.
So, Xia Shutong composed herself and took the phone, walking towards the window. “Hello?”
Almost immediately after she spoke, she heard a faint and gentle laughter from the other end.
“President Xia.”
The voice of Yun Feiwu was faint and indistinguishable from that on the TV, but Xia Shutong seemed to sense a trace of… happiness?

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shutong went straight to her desk and leaned down to knock in front of Xia Hongtao, saying, “Father, I have something to attend to. You should go home and rest as soon as possible.”
“Xia Hongtao’s mouth twitched, and his eyelids were twitching as well. It was clear that he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t dare to speak and angrily left the office.
Watching Xia Hongtao’s disappearing figure, Xia Shutong suddenly sighed.
Xia Hongtao and Xia Yinsi, this father and son… They really are the same.
As soon as Xia Hongtao left, Qian Lingling looked puzzled and asked, “President Xia, that phone call just now?”
”Go to Wutong,” Xia Shutong replied.
Qian Lingling nodded and quietly followed behind Xia Shutong, no longer asking any further questions.
It wasn’t until they were in the car that Xia Shutong’s expression became confused. “Just now, Yun Feiwu said that we had an appointment this afternoon to sign a contract. But as you know, I don’t remember anything.”
Qian Lingling also paused for a moment, then pondered, “Indeed, you didn’t mention this matter before. But when I was on vacation, you were on a business trip in the same city as Yun Feiwu, who was filming there as well. Perhaps during that time, you had some interaction with her but didn’t get a chance to tell me.”
Xia Shutong nodded slightly.
Qian Lingling’s explanation is very reasonable. As Xia Shutong’s secretary and personal assistant, she arranges all of Xia Shutong’s schedules, so naturally Xia Shutong doesn’t hide anything from her.
“But… what kind of contract can our company sign with her?” Xia Shutong muttered to herself.
Before Qian Lingling could answer, Xia Shutong’s body suddenly leaned forward: “!!!”
Yun Feiwu’s contract with Xinghui is about to expire, and Wutong happens to want to venture into the film industry. What kind of contract could they sign?!
Yun Feiwu is coming to Wutong!
No wonder Xia Shutong felt that Yun Feiwu looked familiar before and wanted her to join her company. It turns out they had already discussed it before, so there was this subconscious recognition.
“Oh my…” Qian Lingling was also stunned for a while and then sincerely praised, “President Xia, you are amazing.”
Wutong Entertainment is not located in the city center, but it’s not too far either. In just twenty minutes, the car pulled into Wutong’s underground parking lot.
As Xia Shutong was about to meet Yun Feiwu, she suddenly became nervous.
“Xiao Qian, do you know what kind of person Yun Feiwu is?” Xia Shutong whispered in the elevator.
“I haven’t had any contact with Miss Yun either.”
Qian Lingling frowned slightly as she recalled, “But I have heard others say that Miss Yun is cold but not unpleasant. Many people in the industry really like her. I have seen some behind-the-scenes footage of her movies, and she has never smiled. She doesn’t talk much, but she is sincere and polite to the staff, not like she’s pretending.”
Detached but sincere.
So, when facing her, should I treat her like I treat others?
No, I shouldn’t be too harsh, just like in front of Qian Lingling… No, that’s too friendly.
Hmm, maybe a bit haughty, but not too harsh, and not too warmly approachable. That should be about right?
Anyway, Yun Feiwu is someone who doesn’t talk much and has a cold personality, so I probably won’t have to say much to her, right?
Xia Shutong gained some understanding and her nervousness gradually subsided.
But as she approached the reception room door, she unconsciously stopped and turned around, taking a few deep breaths.
Qian Lingling understood and pushed open the door to the reception room for Xia Shutong, saying, “President Xia, the Best Actress Yun, has been waiting for you.”
“Alright.”
Upon entering the room, Xia Shutong met Yun Feiwu’s slightly burning gaze.
Yun Feiwu was sitting upright on the sofa, looking in the direction of the door.
She was dressed casually today, wearing jeans, a white shirt, and a light-colored necktie loosely tied around her slender and fair neck. Her black hair was tied back in a ponytail, and her makeup was light, giving her the innocent appearance of a naive student, yet exuding a unique charm.
Xia Shutong’s footsteps halted.
Yun Feiwu’s appearance was quite enchanting, even more attractive than what Xia Shutong had seen on television.
“Miss Yun, hmm.. the Best Actress Yun,” Xia Shutong controlled her movements and slightly lifted her chin.
In the next moment, the burning gaze in Yun Feiwu’s eyes vanished, and her expression visibly turned cold.
“President Xia, good afternoon,” she said.
Her demeanor resembled that of a proud and solitary wolf.
The scorching feeling just flashed by, as if it had never appeared at all.
Xia Shutong shifted her gaze and glanced around the reception room, immediately noticing the paper and pen in front of Yun Feiwu.
It must be the contract that Yun Feiwu mentioned.
It turned out that not only had Xia Shutong discussed signing related matters with Yun Feiwu, but she had even directly given her the contract.
Xia Shutong always felt that something was off, but couldn’t quite put it into words.
“President Xia, I have already signed the document. Please take a look.”
Yun Feiwu handed the paper and pen directly to Xia Shutong.
Xia Shutong took the paper and after scanning its contents briefly, her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.
“President Xia, are you unsatisfied?” Yun Feiwu raised an eyebrow lightly. “Isn’t this the contract you personally drafted?”
Xia Shutong lowered her gaze.
No, it’s not that she’s unsatisfied… it’s just that she’s too “satisfied.”
In the past, how strict must one have been to formulate such an unfair contract for Yun Feiwu? A thirty-year contract, whether it’s the basic salary or the profit sharing percentage, clearly does not match the status of an actress like Yun Feiwu.
It’s more like an indentured servitude than a contract.
The words “exploitation” are clearly written on paper.
And, can you believe that Yun Feiwu has no objections?
Qian Lingling, who is standing behind, also has a strange expression after seeing the contract.
For Wutong, signing Yun Feiwu undoubtedly brings more benefits than harm. If they can sign her under these conditions, Wutong will only gain, not lose.
There is a fierce battle between conscience and greed in Xia Shutong’s heart for a long time, but in the end, conscience triumphs over desire. She looks up and asks.
“Miss Yun, are you sure you don’t want to take another look?”
“No need,” Yun Feiwu shakes her head.
Xia Shutong subconsciously rub her forehead with her fingers.
The contract is pretty tricky, and it’s impossible for Yun Feiwu not to understand how tricky it is. But she insists on coming to Wutong, so there must be another reason.
“Yun Feiwu, I have a question,” Xia Shutong put her finger down, a smile appeared on her lips, and she looked directly into Yun Feiwu’s eyes. “May I ask why you chose Wutong?”
Xia Shutong’s smile habitually carried a faint joy.A kind of fearful joy.
“Do I even need to say it?”
Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong locked eyes.
She did not avert her gaze but instead, an ambiguous smile overflowed from her deep gray eyes.
“Of course, it’s because of you, President Xia.”
Everyone could support me on Kofi, for every donation there would be an extra chapter that would be released.
that’s a marriage contract obviously.. lol
