Chapter 002

　　Qin Yu Jue took off her sunglasses and looked at him.

　　When the man spoke, his tone was light and not deliberate at all, but there was a bit of madness in his bones.

　　At first glance, he seems to be a difficult person to deal with.

　　But for some reason, Qin Yu Jue felt an unreasonable feeling of familiarity when she saw this person.

　　But logically speaking, the two of them should have never met.

　　So maybe she forgot about it.

　　Without thinking too much, Qin Yu Jue went directly to the topic: "You should know everything about variety shows?"

　　"Variety show?"

The man paused for a moment, then nodded lightly, "I guess I understand."

　　"That's fine."

　　Qin Yu Jue didn't waste any time.

She took out the contract that He Huai Qing had given her to sign a few days ago from her bag and handed it to the man: "We'll break up after the variety show. If you don't have any objections, just sign it."

　　The man paused, looked down, and didn't answer immediately.

　　After a long time, he raised his eyebrows, then put out the cigarette on his fingertips, slowly picked up the contract, and looked through it carefully.

Then his eyes stayed on the quotation at the end, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Two hundred thousand. ?"

　　It's really not a high price.

　　But it's appropriate enough for hiring a new person without any resources or reputation. Because what is important is the opportunity to be exposed on the screen, not to mention that variety show investors will also pay a large sum of money.

　　Qin Yu Jue frowned slightly and said, "If you have any questions about the price and want to discuss it, you can talk to Sister He, or you can refuse."

　　"how come?"

　　The man laughed to himself, turned around, picked up the pen on the desk, put it on his fingertips and spun it around skillfully, and then signed his name neatly.

　　Then he handed the contract back to Qin Yu Jue, looked up at her with a smile, and said, "Of course, no negotiation."

　　The movements are done in one go, without any hesitation.

　　Qin Yu Jue was a little surprised by this straightforwardness.

She was stunned for a moment and did not move immediately.

　　"Not going on?"

His tone was a bit playful, as if he was teasing a cat.

　　Qin Yu Jue came to her senses, raised her hand to take the contract, and was about to say something.

　　At this moment, the door behind her was pushed open, and He Huai Qing led a handsome, boyish boy in, saying, "Xiao Qin, this is what I chose for you -"

　　But before she finished her sentence, she suddenly stopped, and her voice suddenly changed its tone: "Master Xie , Second Young Master? I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here now."

　　Second Young Master Xie?

　　Qin Yu Jue was stunned, then picked up the contract and looked down at the signature with flying dragons and phoenixes--

　　Three big characters.

　　"Xie Yan Chi."

　　The crisp font has a bit of domineering atmosphere.

　　Just by looking at it, she can see a bit of bohemian arrogance.

　　"..."

Qin Yu Jue was silent for a moment.

　　It seems like something has happened.

　　Xie Yan Chi seemed to be in a good mood.

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his head close to her forehead, and then held out his hand.

His voice was very low, but with a faint smile: "Miss Qin, are we happy to cooperate?"

　　...Qin Yu Jue didn't feel very happy either.

　　She took a deep breath and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't ask carefully just now, how presumptuous it was. Otherwise, the contract will be voided?"

　　"That won't work."

　　Xie Yan Chi straightened up, lazily leaned back on the table, raised his eyelashes, with a smile in his eyes, and said with a bit of scorn, "Little girl, buy me for 200,000, how can you take advantage and return the goods? What about.....?"

　　Qin Yu despaired at the rumored ancestor in front of her.

　　The eyes are narrow and long, with extremely deep folds and thin eyelids.

When he looks at people, his eyes seem to be glowing with tiny lights.

Although his smile does not diminish, there is an inexplicable sense of danger.

　　No matter how she looks at it, he doesn't look like a good person.

　　He Huai Qing also realized that something was wrong.

She stepped forward, lowered her head and glanced at the contract.

When she saw the three extremely clear words, she took a breath of air.

　　Qin Yu Jue: ...There is a big problem.

　　*******

　　"You actually handed the contract to Second Young Master Xie? Do you know who that person is?"

　　He Huai Qing held the water glass and walked around the lounge a few times.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Let someone be your fake boyfriend? How can you do that?"

　　Qin Yu Jue tried to explain: "I didn't think..."

　　"What do you think?"

He Huai Qing's hair exploded all over her body, "Do you see any hair on his body that looks like the little puppy I told you?"

　　Qin Yu Jue calmly defended: "...I thought you wanted to create a contrasting personality."

　　He Huai Qing: "..."

　　In the end, this heated debate ended with a sigh: "I told you a long time ago that this variety show is keeping you here without terminating your contract. It is obvious that they want to set you up."

　　Qin Yu Jue tore open the sugar packet and poured it into the freshly brewed coffee.

Her tone didn't sound too ups and downs: "Since he wants to act, let him act. It's just a change of drama, for me No difference."

　　Having said that, everyone knows that Xie Yan Chi is an investor, and how the program is edited is just a matter of his words.

　　The worst possibility is that Qin Yu Jue is deliberately portrayed as a scheming person who worships money but is loyal to others.

　　And Xie Yan Chi can take this opportunity to better achieve the effect of promoting his own advertising, and when the contract is terminated and they break up naturally after the show, she can get rid of him immediately.

　　"I will talk to Mr. Xie soon."

He Huai Qing drank a glass of cold water and her mood was almost stable.

She sighed and said with relief, "Maybe it was just a joke, there is still room."

　　After Qin Yu Jue watched He Huai Qing leave, she lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, gently rubbing the side of the cup with her fingertips.

　　She doesn't know why, but when she face Xie Yan Chi, especially when she see the arbitrary signature, she always feels an extremely clear feeling of familiarity.

　　It was as if the two had met before a long time ago.

　　Qin Yu Jue thought for a long time, but still had no clue.

　　She pinched her eyebrows, laughed to herself, and put down the cup in her hand.

　　never mind.

　　If she can't remember it, then she can't remember it.

　　Anyway, he is not a suitable person to have a relationship with.

　　About half an hour later, the conversation between He Huai Qing and Xie Yan Chi ended.

　　When she came out of the office and returned to the lounge, He Huai Qing's face didn't look good.

She pursed her lips, clutched a brand new contract, and pressed it in front of Qin Yu Jue without saying a word.

　　"Sign it, new contract."

　　Qin Yu Jue raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "He agreed to void the contract? Didn't he embarrass you?"

　　"Innocent."

　　He Huai Qing folded her arms and had a slumped face. Hearing this, she twitched the corners of her lips dryly: "Look at my expression, does it look like you're not embarrassing me?"

　　"..."

Qin Yu Jue was silent for a moment.

She turned around, picked up the contract on the table, and looked through it carefully.

　　It was generally no different from the one she saw before.

　　Apart from--

　　The compensation column.

　　From two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand.

　　This time, even the official seal had been stamped in advance, and some of the bright red ink pad was stained on the white paper on the back.

　　Qin Yu Jue took a deep breath and said with a bit of disbelief in his tone: "So after talking for half an hour, you actually gave Xie Yan Chi a salary increase of 100,000?"

　　He Huai Qing's face turned even darker.

　　Perhaps she felt that this was the first time that she had not gained a penny in the negotiation process.

Anyway, she had a dark history of losing 100,000 yuan.

He Huai Qing was so angry that she scolded Xie Yan Chi in the break room for ten minutes.

　　"Sure enough, the rumors are absolutely correct. He is really a stinky capitalist who eats people without spitting out their bones and reeks of copper!"

　　After the scolding, she finally felt a little better.

　　She stretched out her hand and tapped the signature spot with her index finger: "Sign it."

　　"What did the program team say?"

Qin Yu Jue took out the cap of her pen, raised her hand and put her name on Party A's place, and asked casually.

　　"What can they say?"

He Huai Qing leaned on the sofa and put the back of her hand on her forehead, "Although Xie Yan Chi's nonsense is indeed not a good thing for you, it is a huge topic and traffic for the program team. It's not too late for people to be happy."

　　Qin Yu Jue understands this.

　　"To put it simply, you don't have to stay, but they will definitely try their best to get Xie Yan Chi to stay."

He Huai Qing added.

　　She can guess.

　　Qin Yu Jue laughed, capped her pen, put together the two copies of the contract, and stood up: "Okay, I'll get Mr. Xie to sign it."

　　She is different from Xie Yan Chi.

　　If she breaks the contract and refuses to participate in the show, she cannot afford to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

　　Moreover, it is not Qin Yu Jue's style to worry and lose a hard-won opportunity to gain exposure because of this incident.

　　It's been such a difficult time, how could she be afraid of being in this position?

　　Since Second Young Master Xie wanted to play, she would play with him.

　　Anyway, no one is at a disadvantage in this kind of thing.

　　"I'll go see him off."

He Huai Qing made a gesture to get up.

　　"No need, I see that he made you quite angry."

　　Qin Yu Jue pressed her shoulders and persuaded with a smile: "I'll just go, lest you get angry and get deceived into an increase of 50,000 yuan in salary."

　　******

　　When Qin Yu Jue entered the office, Xie Yanchi was lazily leaning on the sofa.

　　Standing next to him was He Huai Qing's little secretary, who was looking at the young master nervously, and her tone was a bit reserved: "Mr. Xie, do you want something to drink?"

　　"any drinks?"

　　Xie Yan Chi touched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there a menu?"

　　God damn menu.

　　We are a serious entertainment company.

　　The little secretary took a deep breath: "No, but we can prepare whatever you want to eat."

　　"Forget it."

Xie Yan Chi was too lazy to tease her, "Coffee, add sugar."

　　The little secretary breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Qin Yu Jue stepped forward and sat down in front of him: "Mr. Xie."

　　Xie Yan Chi raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he looked at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes, there seemed to be a tiny light in his eyes.

　　He rolled his eyes and the smile on his lips deepened: "Miss Qin."

　　Qin Yu Jue leaned over and placed the contract in front of him: "This is the new contract."

　　Xie Yan Chi bent down, pinched the contract, glanced at it, and then paused at the quoted price of 300,000.

　　Qin Yu Jue reacted quickly: "The remuneration will not increase again."

　　"Really? What a pity."

　　Although Xie Yan Chi said this, his tone did not sound regretful at all, but rather a bit of a smile.

　　He picked up a pen from the pen holder on the side, signed his name neatly, and then handed the contract back: "Why are you so nervous? Do I look like someone who cares about this money so much?"

　　"..."

You look so similar.

　　Qin Yu Jue did not answer Xie Yan Chi's question immediately.

Instead, she thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Xie, are you interested in the entertainment industry?"

　　Otherwise, she really couldn't figure out why such a young master came to get involved in such a love variety show.

　　Xie Yan Chi seemed to have heard a joke: "Why do you ask that?"

　　"Otherwise, I don't quite understand why Mr. Xie signed this contract."

　　"I'm not interested in the entertainment industry."

　　When Xie Yan Chi heard the words, he lowered his head and glanced at the thin fingers, then raised his hand with interest and flicked the signature position.

　　He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of unruly and rampant.

His voice was low and magnetic, as if ringing in Qin Yu Jue's ears: "Of course I signed this contract because-"

　　"Interesting."

　　Fine.

　　A reason that is very suitable for such a young master.

　　Qin Yu Jue no longer struggled with this issue.

She reached out and picked up the contract and checked the signature again.

　　The handwriting is still the same as before.

　　She frowned slightly, couldn't help it, and asked another question: "Mr. Xie, this may be a bit presumptuous."

　　"Um?"

　　"Have we met before?"

　　Hearing this, Xie Yan Chi didn't answer immediately.

　　He frowned slightly, sat up straight, and said with a meaningful tone: "Really? Then tell me, where have we met?"

　　Qin Yu Jue would never have thought of the answer.

　　She thought for a while and could only admit that she was presumptuous: "Sorry, I must have forgotten."

　　"Have you forgotten?"

Xie Yan Chi repeated this sentence, curved the corners of his lips, and laughed muffledly.

　　After a long time, he stood up, walked to Qin Yu Jue and stopped, bent down to be at eye level with her, and said slowly: "Miss Qin, do you know that what you said just now is a very clichéd way of showing kindness and flirting? "

　　"I--"

　　"We just have a contractual relationship."

　　"I know--"

　　"But if you want to fake it and do it for real, I don't have a problem with it."

　　"You think too much--"

　　"But you have to pay more."

　　"Wait, can you listen-"

　　"For a discount, let's say 30 million. I'm very expensive."

"....."

Qin Yu Jue gave up explaining.

　　Why is this man such a bitch?

　　The author has something to say:

Xie Ergou: I have to find a way to increase it to 500,000.

　　Qin Yu Jue: It doesn't feel like a female protagonist.
