The meal was over in a hurry.

Ming An and Yu Ting didn’t even have time to savor the US$3000 per person delicacy before Su Fangyun stood up.

“Are you done eating?”

It was a question, but it didn’t sound like that. After saying that, she called the waiter to pay the bill.

The waiter smiled sweetly. “Miss Su, it’s already on your tab.”

Su Fangyun nodded and said to Ming An Yuting, “I’ll take Ming Dai away first. I have something to talk to her about.”

Tonight, her decisive and unquestionable image had already been deeply ingrained in everyone’s hearts. How could Ming An and Yu Ting dare to refute her?

At the entrance of the quiet restaurant, the couple watched the two of them leave.

Yu Ting finally heaved a sigh of relief and tugged at her husband’s arm.

“Oh my god, we ate a meal worth more than 10,000 yuan! I didn’t think it was that delicious!”

Ming An didn’t listen to her at all. He was still immersed in the sentence “It’s already on your tab.” How generous! He would become such a person in the future. He wouldn’t pay when eating outside, but he would put it on his tab!

“Old Ming, are you listening to me?” Yu Ting tugged at him again.

Ming An shook his hand off impatiently. “I said you’re a wild boar who can’t eat fine chaff! Is this food just about money? It’s style! It’s taste! What do you know!”

Yu Ting nodded. “Ah, it’s already so late. Hurry up and go to the bus stop. Otherwise, we won’t be able to make it!”

Ming An’s eyes widened. “What bus? We ate food worth more than 10,000 yuan. We have to take a taxi to be worthy of our status!”

“It costs dozens of yuan to take a taxi…”

“You don’t believe me when I say that you’re short-sighted. In the future, we’ll have 10,000 yuan in our accounts every month. Why would we care about a few dozen yuan for the taxi fare?”

Yu Ting felt that Ming An’s words made sense.

“Yes, Old Ming, you’re thinking ahead.”

“Of course! I’m a man. I’m not as short-sighted as you women. Besides, what’s 10,000 yuan a month? I heard that celebrities earn hundreds of thousands of yuan from filming television dramas and advertisements! Ming Dai might not be able to earn so much in the first two years! But there will be many opportunities in the future!”

Ming An could not hide his excitement. His eyes were shining as if he could already see his lavish future!

When he came to this kind of restaurant, he would also want two little beauties to serve him!

Wonderful!

Yu Ting did not know what kind of beautiful dream her husband had.

She still felt that everything that happened tonight was unreal and could not help but worry.

“A few hundred thousand or a few million is too much. Can Ming Dai really earn so much money? I don’t think she has any good points other than her good looks. She shouldn’t become a celebrity and be laughed at. She’ll embarrass our family.”

These words extinguished Ming An’s excitement, and his expression changed.

“No way. Didn’t they say that Azure Entertainment is a big company?”

“Not everyone in a big company can make it.”

“Hey! Don’t say such unlucky words!”

Yu Ting shut up.

But at the same time, Ming An’s good mood was gone.

The couple had never thought that Ming Dai was capable of anything. She could not even study and she just wanted to be a celebrity?

With such a terrible mood, the two of them did not say a word until they took a taxi home.

The moment she disappeared from Ming An and Yu Ting’s sight, Su Fangyun’s tense and serious expression quickly broke.

The coldness in her eyes quickly dissipated and it was replaced by a cheerful expression.

“How is it?” She winked at Ming Dai. “My acting skills aren’t bad, right?”

Ming Dai said seriously, “Yes, it’s not bad. You have a lot of potential.”

Su Fangyun immediately became proud. “This move is called playing hard to get!”

The day before yesterday, after telling Ming Dai that she wanted to settle her parents, Su Fangyun went back and immediately checked Ming Dai’s parents’ information.

At first, she was shocked that this couple could raise Ming Dai, who was as clear as crystal. Then, she formulated a plan according to the couple’s personality and communicated with Ming Dai before she came tonight—

Ming An and Yu Ting were typical bullies who bullied the weak and feared the strong. They would be submissive when they were outside and would attack when they returned home. As the bottom of the food chain, Ming Dai had always suffered the most from the couple’s anger.

Therefore, Su Fangyun chose to be tough to the end when it came to these personalities!

She had deliberately communicated like this to create an atmosphere of disparity from the waiters’ attitude.

Immediately after, she suppressed Ming An twice. He was usually the head in the family but this made him completely bow his head.

When the couple’s appetite was piqued, she would hit them again! Quick and decisive!

It could be said that the tempo of tonight’s meal was under Su Fangyun’s control!

“However, I still didn’t expect this.”

Su Fangyun rubbed her chin and reflected on tonight’s meal.

“That cousin of yours used to be in the entertainment industry, right? With him around, I thought it wouldn’t be so simple, but in the end, your father drove him away in anger… The heavens are really on our side!”

“Anyway, they’ll be stopped in the future for a long time.”

Ming Dai was not worried about how to deal with it after this.

When she became stronger, what could she not solve?

The two of them quickly walked to the garage and got into Su Fangyun’s Mercedes-Benz coupe.

She took out a contract from her bag. This was something Ming An and Yu Ting had never seen before—

“This is our Azure’s sincerity in signing the contract. The D-level contract will be a 50-50 split. The company will be provide you with dormitories, drivers, vans, assistants, makeup artists, costume designers, and other team members. In addition, we will be responsible for your clothes and training fees. Generally speaking, newbies who sign the contract for the first time will start from E-level or F-level, but you’re different. I specially requested this from my boss for a year. If it goes well this year, you’ll be promoted to B-level or C-level next year.”

At this time, Su’s attitude was completely different from her unquestionable attitude towards Ming An Yu Ting.

Her tone was sincere. From Ming Dai’s standpoint, she carefully analyzed the pros and cons for her and even mentioned the treatment of other management companies in the market as a comparison.

Actually, there was no need for her to say it. Ming Dai, who was well versed in the rules of the entertainment industry, knew very well that this D-grade contract was the best choice for her at the moment.

Not to mention the additional conditions, just the one-year contract period was enough to make her raise her eyebrows.

It had to be known that in order to tie up newcomers with potential, other companies often scammed people in their first contract. There were many “slave” contracts that lasted ten to twenty years.

If this one year contract was taken out, countless people would be envious!

Ming Dai flipped through the contract. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll jump ship in a year?”

Su Fangyun waved his hand. “If you still want to jump ship after working with me, it only means that I’m not capable enough!”

Ming Dai stared at her.

That pair of light amber eyes that could not be concealed flowed with light, making Su Fangyun almost embarrassed.

“But don’t think too highly of me. There’s an additional clause here. You have to sign with Azure first for a year!”

“I know.” Ming Dai kept the document. “However, I’ll sign it after I consult a lawyer.”

Su Fangyun was stunned at first, but she quickly laughed out loud. “As expected of you!”
