Commercial Street near the Xu family.
Inside a dessert shop.
Assistant He Xiaoyun savored her pastries with relish, saying,
"Sister Yifei, this shop makes really good cream puffs and cookies. How about you pack some to take back for Yunduo, Tianyu, and Tianyi later?"
Hearing this, Xu Yifei smiled and nodded,
"Mm, that's a good idea."
She then beckoned to the shop assistant.
"Waiter, check out! And pack a box of assorted desserts for me, take-away."
The shop assistant readily agreed and quickly handled everything. Xu Yifei happily paid and was about to leave with the desserts. But just as she was about to get up and leave, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly walked over and blocked her path.
"Miss Xu Yifei, would you mind if we had a chat?"
The man nodded and smiled at Xu Yifei.
Startled by the sudden appearance of this unexpected "disruptor," her assistant, He Xiaoyun, couldn't help but feel a surge of alarm. She eyed the middle-aged man warily and asked in quick succession:
"What do you want? How did you recognize Sister Yifei?"
Xu Yifei, standing beside her, also frowned slightly, her eyes filled with suspicion as she looked at the middle-aged man.
Before leaving, she had specifically put on large sunglasses and a mask, covering most of her face. Yet, she was still recognized? Who was this person? And what did he want?
"Haha, Miss Xu, and your assistant, please don't be alarmed. I just want to have a chat with you."
Seeing their reaction, the middle-aged man in a suit and tie laughed.
As he spoke, he sat down at their table and then took out a business card, handing it to Xu Yifei.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Wan Bowen, the Director of the Artist Department at Xinchen Entertainment."
"What? Xinchen Entertainment?"
Hearing this, the little assistant He Xiaoyun's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of shock.
She looked as if she was thinking, "No way, did I hear that wrong? Is it... that Xinchen Entertainment?"
He Xiaoyun's reaction clearly pleased Wan Bowen. He smiled triumphantly and nodded arrogantly:
"Yes, that's right! The very Xinchen Entertainment you know. The largest entertainment company in the country."
Compared to He Xiaoyun, Xu Yifei's reaction was much calmer. She didn't take the business card Wan Bowen offered, but raised an eyebrow and looked at him:
"Oh? So it's Director Wan. I wonder what brings Director Wan to Modu to block my path?"
As far as she knew, Xinchen Entertainment's headquarters was in Capital City.
And Wan Bowen, the director of the artist department at Xinchen Entertainment, should have his base of operations and activities in Capital City.
So why did he suddenly come to Modu?
Wan Bowen didn't intend to hide anything. Hearing this, he immediately stated his intentions: "Miss Xu, Xinchen Entertainment intends to sign you as an artist under our company."
With that, he gave a look to his subordinate standing beside him. The subordinate understood immediately and handed a contract to him. Wan Bowen took the contract and then passed it to Xu Yifei: "This is the contract from Xinchen Entertainment. The contract is for ten years, with a guaranteed minimum of 200 million per year for Miss Xu. Miss Xu must guarantee to appear in at least five films or television dramas, or variety shows invested in and produced by Xinchen Entertainment each year, and unconditionally obey the company's management and various instructions."
"Of course, these tasks are not without compensation. The company will also give Miss Xu 1% of the dividends, and varying amounts of remuneration. Miss Xu, if you have no problem with it, you can sign the contract directly!"
Wan Bowen said with a matter-of-fact expression.
As he spoke, he handed a pen to Xu Yifei, signaling her to take it and sign.
"I refuse!"
Glancing at the contract and pen being offered to her, Xu Yifei immediately waved her hand, speaking concisely.
Not to mention, she had never intended to leave Aifei Entertainment in the first place.
And this contract from Xinchen Entertainment, while seemingly offering generous rewards, revealed various inequalities upon closer examination.
Any artist signing it would absolutely be at a loss.
Even if she really wanted to change agencies, as long as she hadn't lost her mind, Xu Yifei would absolutely not sign this ten-year contract filled with unfair terms, okay?
She had heard long ago that Xinchen Entertainment's contracts were extremely overbearing and harsh.
Now it seemed, it was all true.
"Refuse? What refusal?"
Wan Bowen, who had originally been arrogant, was taken aback, widening his eyes and looking at Xu Yifei, as if he hadn't understood the meaning of her words.
Seeing his reaction, Xu Yifei could only say, word by word: "I mean, I refuse to sign a contract with you, Xinchen Entertainment."
However, upon hearing this, Wan Bowen was even more shocked, his gaze towards Xu Yifei was like looking at a mad fool: "What? You refuse to sign with us, Xinchen Entertainment? Miss Xu, have you thought this through? Are you sure?"
Their Xinchen Entertainment was the number one entertainment company in the country, a proper industry leader, the top capital.
So many artists were desperate to sign with Xinchen Entertainment, to become artists under their banner, and couldn't be more thrilled.
This Xu Yifei actually refused to sign with them? Moreover, their company had offered an A-class contract, only given to first-tier artists, to sign with Xu Yifei.
Wan Bowen felt that the conditions they had offered Xu Yifei were already high enough.
She actually refused?!
"Yes! I'm very sure. I've already thought it through! I don't plan to leave Aifei. I will always stay with Aifei Entertainment. Thank you for your kindness. But, I can only say I'm sorry!"
Without a trace of care for Wan Bowen's shock, or the "are you crazy?" look in his eyes, Xu Yifei stated with absolute certainty.
With that said, she stood up directly, pulling He Xiaoyun, who was already in a state of shock, and turned around without looking back.
"Sister Yifei, Xinchen Entertainment wants to poach you?"
Just as they left the door of the dessert shop, He Xiaoyun, who had just recovered from her shock, couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked curiously.
"What they want to do is their business. I don't care what they think. I only know that I will never leave Aifei Entertainment. Isn't that enough?"
Xu Yifei rolled her eyes at He Xiaoyun in annoyance, saying it with resolute certainty.
"Eh, that's true. Who told Aifei Entertainment to have President Fu, huh?"
He Xiaoyun nodded knowingly, then covered her mouth and giggled: "Aifei, it's loving Sister Yifei. Haha, President Fu is so good to Sister Yifei! Even when naming the company, he didn't forget to confess to Sister Yifei, how romantic~"
He Xiaoyun giggled softly, while Xu Yifei's cheeks flushed, a sweet sensation inexplicably blossoming in her heart.
Of course, she knew the meaning of the name "Aifei."
That Fu Shan, really...
Even the name he chose was so… unconventional.
However, she had to admit, Fu Shan treated her exceptionally well.
Both professionally and personally, there was nothing to fault.
How could she possibly leave him, with him like this?
Leaving him, leaving Aifei Entertainment, and going to another company… to be honest, Xu Yifei hadn't even considered it.
It was absolutely impossible.
Never before!
And definitely never will in the future!
