“Miss Su, please come in.”

A gentle voice sounded at the door.

With a creak, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a valiant figure walked in.

She wore a camel-colored cashmere coat, a black knitted shirt, and wide-legged pants of the same color.

The simple outfit suited the luxurious private room very well. It was equally expensive.

It was Su Fangyun.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. There was a traffic jam.”

Her tone was fast and powerful, like a rapid-fire cannon.

It was obvious that she was used to giving orders all year round and had the aura of a superior.

Behind Su Fangyun were two young and beautiful waiters. When she sat down, one of them took her bag and pulled out a chair, while the other helped her take off her coat and put it neatly on the hanger.

Such a thoughtful service was not available when others came in.

Su Fangyun, on the other hand, felt at ease as if she had returned home.

Ming An stood up on his own accord at some point in time. He bent down and smiled ingratiatingly.

Yu Ting followed suit. Seeing that Ming Dai did not move, she even tugged at her.

Even the arrogant Kang Ren quietly closed his legs and stood up after some hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, Su Fangyun became the center of attention.

“Why are you all up? Sit.”

Su Fangyun calmly sat down first.

Ming An nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face becoming more and more obsequious.

“Um, Manager Su, hello. I’m Ming Dai’s father…”

Halfway through his sentence, Su Fangyun raised her hand and interrupted him.

“Wait a moment.” Su Fangyun looked at the two waiters who had yet to leave. “What’s the special menu today?”

They replied respectfully, “There are oysters flown in from France this morning.”

Su Fangyun nodded and ordered a few more dishes.

When she ordered, she spoke casually and didn’t even look at the menu.

After saying that, she asked the others, “What do you want to eat?”

The two waiters brought the menu over.

As soon as Yu Ting flipped it open, she was stunned by the prices on it. “How much will this meal cost?”

Just now, when Kang Ren said that her and Old Ming’s combined salary couldn’t even buy a table, she thought that it was an exaggeration. But now, looking at the price on the menu, he clearly meant it!

Yu Ting quickly found the dishes that Su Fangyun had ordered just now. She was dazzled by the zeroes at the back.

A few of the dishes were not even on the menu.

Su Fangyun calmly raised his hand. “Don’t stand on ceremony, add whatever you want.”

Yu Ting opened her mouth, but no words came out.

“I’ll order.” Ming An appeared happily. “I want this pine mushroom lion soup!”

Two days ago, his colleague had bragged to him that he had gone to Yanjing Restaurant with his son to eat pine mushrooms.

Ming An was so jealous that his eyes turned red. He hated himself for not having a good son like him.

But now… Hmph!

Unexpectedly, Su Fangyun rejected his order.

“No pine mushrooms. The best ones are from July to September. They’re too old this season. They’re hard to swallow.”

Her unquestionable tone made Ming An not even dare to refute. He agreed repeatedly.

The envy in his heart for his workmates changed seamlessly to disdain!

Look, he didn’t even know the best time to eat pine mushrooms!

The dishes were ordered.

The two waiters left the private room.

There were only five people left in the room, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

To be precise, Ming An, Yu Ting, and Kang Ren were the ones who were embarrassed.

Su Fangyun, who was sitting at the head of the table, calmly wiped her hands with a hot towel.

As for Ming Dai, she had a nonchalant expression on her face as she slowly drank her water.

Ming An and Yu Ting secretly glanced at Su Fangyun and quickly learned to wipe their hands with a towel.

As for Kang Ren, he snorted in disdain and pushed the towel away.

Everyone was waiting for Su Fangyun to speak.

After Su Fangyun finished wiping her hands, she lowered her head and looked at her phone.

Ming’an could not hold it in any longer. “Manager Su, regarding our Ming Dai…”

“Excuse me, I have to take this.”

Su Fangyun stood up swiftly and walked out of the private room. She did not even take a glance at Ming An.

The door of the private room had just closed a second ago when Kang Ren slammed the table in the next second.

“What does she mean? Is she deliberately ignoring us? I don’t think she wants to cooperate with us!”

“Keep your voice down! It won’t be good if she hears you!”

The person who reprimanded him was actually Ming An.

Kang Ren’s face contorted.

“Uncle-in-law! You can’t be like this. I was the one who suggested Ming Dai enter the entertainment industry!”

What was this now? A woman suddenly popped out of nowhere and was so picky?

Ming Dai, who was wandering outside this group of people, glanced at Kang Ren indifferently and saw through his thoughts. She immediately found it funny.

Could it be that in her cousin’s eyes, she was already labeled as a consumable good?

Where did this indignance come from?

She didn’t interrupt.

Or rather, there was no need.

Because Ming An had also seen through his thoughts.

Ming An did renovation work and often interacted with people from all walks of life. How could he not see through Kang Ren’s thoughts?

Only Yu Ting, the woman who treated her nephew like a treasure, pretended not to see it.

In the past, Ming An was happy to pretend to be confused. After all, Kang Ren’s family background was better than theirs, and Kang Ren’s mother often lent them money.

Now that he had received benefits, it was different.

“Kang Ren, it’s a good thing that this big manager likes your sister. It’s a good thing for our entire family! Don’t ruin it for us!”

The hidden warning made Kang Ren’s expression turn even uglier. He almost couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“My good intentions are misunderstood like this! If it weren’t for Aunt troubling me, do you think I would have come? Fine, I won’t care about you anymore!”

He stood up angrily and strode towards the door of the private room.

He walked quite quickly in the first half of the journey and gradually slowed down in the second half. It was obvious that he was hoping that someone would stop him.

Unfortunately, even his aunt, Yu Ting, was sitting obediently and did not dare to act rashly in front of her husband.

Kang Ren could only swallow his anger and leave.

“Who does he think he is?”

Ming An muttered softly.

At this moment, Su Fangyun finally came in and hurriedly sat down.

“I’m sorry, I was busy with work.”

After explaining, Su Fangyun acted as if she did not see that there was no one missing in the private room.

“If Ming Dai signs the Azure entertainment contract, the first three years will be based on an E-level contract. There will be 20-80 split, with a minimum monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. The filming and advertisement earnings will be calculated separately. Three years later, according to her development, the contract will be changed. It would be best if she can change to a C-level contract. After signing the contract, the company will immediately arrange a dormitory for her, training teachers, makeup artists, assistants, and so on. Do you have anything to add?”

The huge amount of information made the couple dizzy.

“If it’s 20-80… we’ll take 80?”

Su Fangyun sneered unceremoniously. “Heh, are you joking? Do you know how much the company needs to invest to nurture a newbie? We’re not doing charity!”

Ming An shrunk his neck. “Oh… Oh!”

Su Fangyun crossed his arms and said indifferently.

“Have you thought about it? You only have one day to sign the contract. Our company has a lot of choices. It doesn’t have to be Ming Dai.”

“Sign! We’ll sign it!”
