Huo Yao noticed that her father looked a little upset. Although she was perplexed, she did not probe him.
She was already accustomed to his unexpected mood swings.
Huo Xiang arrived home ten minutes later with his agent, Tong Yu.
The moment Huo Xiang entered the living room, he spotted his little sister and father, so he quickly greeted them. “Dad, Yao, I’m home.”
“Hi, Brother Xiang.” Huo Yao nodded to Tong Yu politely and stood up to pour some water for both of them.
“Uh huh,” replied Huo Jinyan coldly before he left.
Huo Xiang looked at his father from behind as he went upstairs. He distinctly sensed that he was not welcome.
Huo Xiang touched his nose and felt a little surprised. Since he had not been home for several days, he expected his father to be happy to see him.
Huo Xiang looked at his little sister and asked her. “Yao, is Dad in a bad mood today?”
“Nope. I think he’s quite happy today.”
“Perhaps I was mistaken.” Huo Xiang shook his head and sat down on the couch.
After Tong Yu finished drinking the water, he retrieved a contract from his briefcase. “Yao, this is the contract for the sportswear advertisement that you are doing. Take a look.”
Tong Yu handed the document to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao’s eyes lit up. It seemed as though it was not a paper but money.
“I’ve already gone through it, and everything looks okay, so you just need to sign it,” said Tong Yu.
After all, he did not expect Huo Yao to know anything about contracts.
Huo Yao read through the contract quickly and paused for an entire minute when she got to the part about the advertising fees. Then, she flipped to the last page and picked up her pen to sign her name on it without hesitation.
Huo Xiang said somewhat worriedly, “Yao, don’t you want to think about it?”
Huo Yao glanced at him and said solemnly, “What’s there to consider? I can make $500 000 for this alone, so why not? Don’t you know how hard it is to make money these days?”
Huo Xiang felt hurt.
Was their family not loaded?
Huo Yao looked at her fourth older brother like he was a wastrel. She shook her head and said earnestly, “Brother Xiang, it’s important to make lots of money.”
Tong Yu burst out laughing. He almost died when he saw Huo Yao acting so serious about money.
Huo Yao was such a remarkable baby sister.
It suddenly dawned on Tong Yu why Huo Xiang adored Huo Yao so much.
Tong Yu covered his mouth and coughed. He took the contract from Huo Yao. “It’s settled then. I will talk to the sportswear brand on Monday and do my best to ensure that the shoot takes place on Saturday so that it won’t affect school.”
Huo Yao waved her hand surprisingly. “No worries. Even if the shoot happens on a weekday, I can apply for leave.”
She did not mind occasionally choosing money over studies.
Huo Xiang looked at his little sister quietly. She was such a miser that he despised her a little for it.
“Even better,” said Tong Yu as he smiled.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded before she added. “The sooner, the better.”
The sooner she got filming out of the way, the sooner she would get paid.
Huo Xiang pressed his forehead. His impression of his little sister was swiftly changing.
“Sure. I’m off then. I’ll pick you both up first thing tomorrow,” said Tong Yu before he left with his briefcase.
