Chapter 46
"This relationship between you two! It's like it was made for our show! Wonderful, even ordinary people have such selling points. This show would be a crime not to become popular!"
With that, the director instantly pulled out a filming contract from his bag, wanting to sign with the two of them.
However, Nian Suian wasn't in a rush to sign. Contracts are things that need to be approached with caution.
So she said to the director, "We'll take it home and look it over. If there are no problems, we'll sign and courier it back to you."
"No problem! But please be quick about it. We're about to start filming our show." The assistant director had already gone to the filming location to make arrangements, and he was busy coordinating with the guests. The filming was set to start from everyone's homes on October 1st. He was left to arrange things on this end, and it was only by squeezing out some time that he could come out for this meeting. He didn't expect it to be such a pleasant surprise.
The meeting with the director was different from the serious, formal affair they had imagined. On the way home, Nian Suian briefly flipped through the contract and said to Gu Zhijing, "Let's have your dad get a lawyer to look at this when we get home."
Gu Zhijing, however, was fixated on the part of the contract that detailed their compensation for participating in the show.
"No wonder everyone wants to be a celebrity. They're giving us this much even though no one knows who we are."
Nian Suian saw it too. Compared to her previous part-time jobs, it was a lot. But compared to the rumored daily pay of 2.08 million that some stars got, it wasn't even a fraction of that.
So she told Gu Zhijing, "This is nothing in the grand scheme of things. The director probably doesn't even think much of it." Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
"This is way more generous than my dad," he said. His dad always thought students didn't need too much money, and every semester he would directly load money onto his meal card instead of giving it to him directly. For someone who was supposed to be a rich second-generation kid, he was living quite pitifully.
When they got home, Gu Junxing was downstairs watching the news. Seeing the two return, he asked, "How did the talk go?"
"Here's the contract. We didn't sign it right away. I've looked it over briefly and didn't see any issues, but I thought it might be best to have a professional take a look," Nian Suian said, taking the contract out of her bag and handing it to Gu Junxing.
"No need to find anyone else. I can look at it," he said.
"You know how to review contracts?"
"My second degree is in law. Reviewing a contract isn't difficult," Gu Junxing said casually as he flipped through the contract.
He had long planned to start his own business, so he had pursued a minor in law, focusing on commercial law, to avoid potential pitfalls when starting his business.
Gu Zhijing finished a round of his game and saw the two of them huddled together talking. His internal alarm bells started ringing.
[Guys, I think my dad might be falling in love!] Exiting the game, Gu Zhijing immediately sent this message to his WeChat group (The Four Most Handsome Men of No. 15 Middle School).
Everyone was already online playing games, so Gu Zhijing's sudden message caused quite a stir.
Chu Mingyan: [Your dad is having an affair!]
Qu Zizhou: [Does our little step-mom sis know?]
Qi Anlu: [I never thought Uncle Gu was that kind of person? Is there some misunderstanding?]
Qu Zizhou: [@Qi Anlu Is this the kind of thing you can tell from looking?]
Chu Mingyan: [Are you going to righteously eliminate your father?]
Gu Zhijing: [!!! Your dad is the one having an affair!]
Gu Zhijing: [I'm saying he and my step-mom sis seem to be falling in love!]
Chu Mingyan: [Are you crazy, Gu Zhijing! They're married, what's wrong with them falling in love?!]
Qu Zizhou: [Are you crazy, Gu Zhijing!]
Qi Anlu: [Are you crazy, Gu Zhijing!]
Qu Zizhou: [Wait until they have a second child, then you can be shocked.]
Chu Mingyan: [Wait until they have a second child, then you can be shocked.]
Qi Anlu: [Wait until they have a second child, then you can be serious.]
Gu Zhijing: [None of you understand.]
Putting down his phone, Gu Zhijing felt even more melancholy. No one understood him, and he had nowhere to express his feelings...
