Although he seemed to be speaking very quickly, Xiang Yi could sense the determination in his tone.
He truly trusted Xiang Yi.
He was full of a youthful zeal and ardor. Although she knew that it was clearly very childish, she couldn’t help but be influenced by him.
Xiang Yi adjusted her posture and sat up straight.
Instead of belittling Rong Huai because of his age, she said seriously, “Rong Huai, I’m very happy for you now that you have a new study plan. However, signing a contract with an agency is not a trivial matter, I hope you can take some time to consider it seriously.”
Rong Huai panicked and asked, “Hey, do you think I’m not good enough?”
Xiang Yi said gently, “I don’t, I’m just saying this from an objective point of view. You are still underage and legally, you’re a… Uh…”
She looked at Xiang Chen, seemingly asking for help.
Xiang Chen crossed his long legs and said indifferently, “A person who does not have the capacity to enter a contract. This usually refers to minors under the age of eighteen or minors and adults who are unaware of their own behavior.”
Rong Huai gritted his teeth and stared at Xiang Yi with his dark eyes. Feeling furious and a little aggrieved, he exclaimed, “Sister, I know what I’m doing!”
He took out a ball of crumpled paper from his pocket, which seemed to be a page that he had torn off of his notebook, and placed it in front of Xiang Yi sulkily.
Xiang Yi unrolled the paper and saw the word ‘contract’ that was written at the top, as well as his name which he had signed at the bottom right corner with great force.
His handwriting was crooked and ugly.
In the livestream:
—— [Damn it, did someone cut onions? I’m tearing up.]
—— [Rong Huai really trusts Xiang Yi… This is tantamount to handing the rest of his life to her.]
—— [I was just about to cry, but I laughed again when I saw Rong Huai’s handwriting. Hahahah, it’s so ugly!]
…
Xiang Yi kept her clear, doe-like eyes fixed on Rong Huai.
Rong Huai was extremely nervous and he began to clench his fists tightly as he kept his hands by his side. His palms had begun to get sweaty too.
He was afraid that Xiang Yi would rebuke him without getting the facts right.
He was even more afraid that Xiang Yi would reject him.
However, Xiang Yi said, “Rong Huai, thank you for trusting me.”
The young man was stunned.
“I’ll accept this contract, but I think we should give each other the chance to choose, right? Since you’ve chosen me, I’ll likewise choose to sign you on once you get into the Film Academy. During this period of time, we are both entitled to the right to change our minds. Is that okay with you?”
She was extremely gentle and affable throughout the discussion.
She didn’t act all bossy and make arrangements for his life in the future.
Instead, she gave him an option.
Rong Huai’s Adam’s apple rolled a little and he looked exuberant, as if he had just had an energy drink and was about to go onto the court to play a round of basketball. “Alright, I agree, we’ll both be entitled to make a choice of our own.”
He quickly added, “Don’t go back on your word, though! Otherwise… Otherwise, I’ll…”
After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn’t come up with a powerful threat. He inadvertently glanced at Jiang Chen and then choked him from behind. “I’ll beat him up!”
The innocent Jiang Chen who got implicated for no reason: ???
Amused by him, Xiang Yi said, “You’re being too mischievous.”
The viewers of the livestream all guffawed incessantly.
The “hostage” Jiang Chen raised his hand to signal that he was about to speak.
Rong Huai loosened his grip a little.
Jiang Chen said, “Sister Xiang Yi! I’ve signed a five-year-contract with Tomato Entertainment! Do you want to extend the contract by a few more days?”
Shen Ci said, “Five years is nothing. My contract is longer, it’s ten years!”
Everyone else butted in too.
“Sister, please renew my contract, my rates are cheaper!”
“I can do it too, Sister! Please pick me!”
The netizens were dumbfounded.
‘Huh? Little brothers, why are you vying to sign an indenture for yourselves!?!’
