Chapter 301: Chapter 301 - 297: I Just Really, Really Want to...

H City.

After filming two scenes with Tong Yuanyuan, Shi Su and she played the roles of closely bonded sisters in the plot. As soon as the director shouted "cut," Shi Su’s sisterly smile vanished instantly, leaving them both expressionless. Shi Su turned around and put on the coat Chu Jiu brought her, heading back towards the RV.

Their discord was already a well-known fact within the team, but it didn’t mean that the newly arrived Cherry Yang knew what had happened before within the group.

Cherry Yang just assumed that Shi Su held a grudge against Tong Yuanyuan because of the things she had said about her on Weibo a few months ago. She kept persuading Shi Su not to be so headstrong and offend people, warning that she heard Tong Yuanyuan’s support was Jin Yuanshan, and it’s best not to offend such big shots, lest Shi Su’s unpopularity drags down her own future.

Shi Su let the words go in one ear and out the other, not even having the patience to explain or educate this so-called agent. Chu Jiu also appeared well-behaved in front of Cherry Yang but was stubborn and said nothing to her either.

Cherry Yang could see that no one around Shi Su obeyed her from top to bottom, yet she wasn’t in a hurry. After all, she was now Shi Su’s agent, and she had plenty of time to accompany her, slowly wearing her down.

On the second day of the H City schedule, Cherry Yang brought Shi Su a document.

"This is the endorsement contract for those Baoqing Company daily cleaning products. You’ve already familiarized yourself with the products in the past few days." Cherry Yang said, "Take another look, and after signing, we’ll proceed with the endorsement process."

When Jun was around, if Shi Su didn’t have time, she would hardly look at the contracts. Jun would strive to get her the maximum possible benefits within the company’s exploitative terms. Shi Su trusted Jun in this regard.

But now, that wasn’t the case anymore.

She picked up the contract and looked through it for a while; there were indeed no issues. "Alright, let me finish filming the two scenes below, then I’ll come back and review it again, and sign in the afternoon."

"Okay, but I need to tell you something." Cherry Yang folded her arms and walked to her side. Being so close, she could clearly see that even though Shi Su had makeup on from filming, the powder was applied very thinly, her skin clear and clean, a naturally radiant beauty. After watching for a while, Cherry Yang shifted her envious and hateful gaze and said, "Our president at Yijia Entertainment and the chairman of Baoqing Company are old friends; they have a very good personal relationship. Baoqing Company handed over the endorsement of their best-selling products on the market to you for Mr. Chen’s sake, but the company has a condition."

Shi Su turned her eyes to her, waiting for her to continue.

"It just so happens that our company’s contract periods have been extended to ten years recently. Your initial five-year agency contract can be renewed now while you’re in the limelight."

After speaking, Cherry Yang looked at Shi Su again and continued, "This is the condition Baoqing Company negotiated. After you renew with Yijia Entertainment, this endorsement can also be extended from one year to three years."

Shi Su looked at the contract on the table without any change in her expression.

"Baoqing Company is the best-known domestic, friendly brand in the country, and its product sales have ranked first among similar domestic products for years," Cherry Yang reminded her. "Every year, their endorsers are the hottest flow celebrities of that year. You were just a second lead in Yao Platform but were exceptionally promoted as an endorser, even intending to sign for three years. This is an opportunity I advise you not to miss."

Shi Su lowered her eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "I’ll consider it, but I need to discuss it with my boyfriend first."

Cherry Yang instantly stared at her in astonishment, "Who is your boyfriend? Does he have the qualifications to manage your affairs?"

Shi Su coldly returned her gaze, "Miss Yang starts talking about a ten-year servitude contract, and I can’t even discuss it with my boyfriend?"

Cherry Yang rolled her eyes at her, "Alright, just be quick. Baoqing Company is waiting for your response. If you don’t sign, countless top-tier flow celebrities are waiting with open mouths to be fed."

That was certain.

After all, the other two artists under Cherry Yang’s management were also waiting with open mouths for sustenance.

Shi Su didn’t want to continue chatting with her. After Cherry Yang left, she sat in the car, lowered her head, and looked at her phone.

It was a voice message sent from Shi Mianmian using her children’s smartwatch.

"Mommy, it was Mr. Lu who picked me up from kindergarten yesterday!"

"Mr. Lu took me to see Uncle Ji Han. Uncle Ji Han’s office is so big! I even fell asleep in there. Later, Uncle Ji Han took me to a children’s restaurant and let me have chocolate cake and lots of tasty things. But Uncle Ji Han said the condition for eating the chocolate cake is that I can’t have chocolate for the next month. He also said I eat too many sweets, and he’d take me for regular dental check-ups!"

"Mommy, is checking teeth like Peppa and George, rinsing the mouth and spitting it out, all done?"

"I stayed overnight at Uncle Ji Han’s house yesterday! After he put me to sleep, he didn’t sleep in the bedroom. When I woke up to go to the bathroom, I saw Uncle Ji Han in the study. Mommy, when can you come back? I really want the three of us to live together!"

Mianmian also used the watch’s camera function to take a photo and sent it to her.

"Mommy, look! The teacher asked the kids to draw a picture of their dad at home. I drew Uncle Ji Han, and he even signed where a dad needs to sign! Is this Uncle Ji Han’s name?"

Shi Su enlarged the photo to look, seeing it was a very Mianmian-style ’abstract painting,’ but one could indeed tell what she drew.

Her gaze shifted downwards to the bottom right corner, where three strong and beautiful characters were written, Jing Jihan.

Shi Su stared at those three characters for a long time without saying a word.

Ever since Mianmian was born, every time something needed a parental signature in the father’s column, it was left blank. After Mianmian started kindergarten, other children’s daddy and mommy names were filled in where signatures were needed. Shi Su didn’t want to fabricate a nonexistent person, so it remained blank. Mianmian knew she didn’t have a dad and never demanded a name be added in the father’s spot.

But she deliberately took a picture of it to show Shi Su.

From Mianmian’s tone, one could tell that she was so happy she almost wanted to stick the picture to her bed headboard to look at daddy’s name every day.

Shi Su couldn’t help but have a slight smile on her face as she saw the time; she still had a while before shooting the next scene, so she directly picked up the phone and dialed Jing Jihan’s number.

It was work time now, and she didn’t know if Jing Jihan was busy, or if it was convenient for him to take a call.

But Shi Su really wanted, really wanted to make a call to him now.
