Chapter 184 - Signing the Devil’s Contract for Yan Qingsi
Yan Qingsi belonged to Yue Tingfeng anyway. If he really wanted to go hard on her, he would have done so long ago.
As Miss Mai looked at the contract and engaged in the last tussle with her emotions, Jiang Lai stepped forward and handed a pen over to her. “Miss Mai, please sign this contract so Miss Qingsi will have ample financial support. In the future, no one else will dare to steal Miss Qingsi’s roles and nothing will block her path in the entertainment industry.”
Jiang Lai’s last words prodded Miss Mai’s heart. ‘No one else will dare to steal Miss Qingsi’s roles.’
It was barely two months since they returned to the country, but in that short span of time, there was never a moment of peace. Almost all of Yan Qingsi’s roles were a pain in the a*s to land.
Yan Qingsi spent too much of her energy on all that. She had to go through endless scheming in order to get those roles.
Miss Mai recalled Yan Qingsi saying that she wanted to stand on the highest pedestal and trample over everyone who looked down on them and wronged them in the past.
That was a dream that both Miss Mai and Yan Qingsi shared. Bit by bit, Miss Mai’s tightly clenched fist began relaxing.
Jiang Lai watched on as Miss Mai took the pen and finally signed her name on it. He breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Thank goodness she finally signed.’
If not, he may well be sent off to do some unethical things. Being the honest young man that he actually was, he detested having to do all those tasks for his boss.
After signing the contract, Jiang Lai took it back immediately and placed the blank cheque before her. “This is our CEO’s gesture of sincerity. Fill it in as you please!”
She had a convoluted expression as she looked at the blank cheque. Following some confliction, she eventually put pen to paper and swiftly wrote a string of numbers. She then handed it over to Yue Tingfeng.
Miss Mai remarked sternly, “CEO Yue, I hope you will do as you have said. First and foremost, I signed this contract because I’m under duress. Second, it’s because I want a better environment for Yan Qingsi. No matter how you put it, I’ve let her down by signing this contract. I can’t accept your money.”
Yue Tingfeng looked at the cheque and saw the number ‘1’.
Miss Mai wrote a single digit—all she wanted was one dollar.
She stood up and bowed toward Yue Tingfeng.
“Qingsi is not someone you can just mess around with. If you’re really serious toward her, CEO Yue, I hope you won’t hurt her. Whatever the course of events may be, I hope that there won’t be any hard feelings if you part ways. Goodbye.”
Yue Tingfeng’s face turned gloomy in a flash. ‘Parting ways without hard feelings?
‘I haven’t even f*cking gotten together with her and you’re already talking about parting ways?’
Her words implied that she did not think well of them and was certain that they would not end up together.
The next second though, Yue Tingfeng chuckled suddenly. If he himself did not put much thought into the end result, then it was highly likely that others would not mull over it too.
Once out of the building, Miss Mai got into her car. She screamed and collapsed at the steering wheel before thumping her chest a couple of times. “I’ve never even been so brave in my entire life! Yan Qingsi, oh Yan Qingsi…you must get control over this gangster and shut out his shamelessness. Otherwise, we’ll be in for a big loss.”
…
Yue Tingfeng looked at the cheque for one dollar. “It seems like she spent too much time with Yan Qingsi. Put it away.”
Jiang Lai took the cheque and asked, “And the one dollar?”
Yue Tingfeng stood up. “Give it to her.”
“Yan Qingsi’s agent has saved me a great deal of the money that was going to be used on her.”
He could care less what number Miss Mai filled in. His goal was completed anyway since Yan Qingsi was the Yue clan company’s actress.
More precisely, she was Yue Tingfeng’s.
