Chapter 23: Another contract? (2/2)

He lifted his head and blinked his deep huge eyes at me as he stood up. Rather than trying to stuff the document through my door crack, he thrust it into my arms instead.

“What is this?” I grabbed hold of it. I had a bad premonition the moment I saw the A4 paper document.

Employee Contract.

I was flabbergasted when I saw these two words on the first row.

Was he specialized in manufacturing contracts?

I was too lazy to guess and directly asked Suyang, “What is this?”

“Employee Contract.”

“I can read the words. I’m asking you why you’re giving an employee contract to me. Are you sure if it’s for me?”

“After much consideration, I have realized you are very useful in helping me gain inspiration for my creation. So, I would like to hire you as an assistant.”

“You. Want. Me. To. Be. Your. Assistant? Don’t joke around with other people’s occupation. It is not funny.” There was a lack of faith and distrust in all my words.

Suyang ignored my skepticism and continued, “You don’t have a job right now, and I need an assistant. This is a win-win for both of us.”

I don’t know why Suyang was so determined to have me as his assistant, but I wasn’t going to give up on such a good opportunity. However, I pretended to hesitate because I wanted to remain reserved. “Hmmm...Let me think about it. After all….”

“If you want to know the specifics, your monthly wage would be 10000 rmb. Meals and accommodations are provided.”

“Okay! I’ll do it!” The moment I heard how much he was willing to paying me, I no longer cared to remain reserved.

“I haven’t explained the contract yet…” Suyang appeared stunned by my reaction. He didn’t seem to realize how alluring the salary was.

“It’s fine. In any case, I’m sure it is clearly stated in the contract. I’ll slowly go through it later. Where do I sign? Last page, right?” I was worried Suyang will renege his offer, so I quickly grabbed a pen. Just as I was about to sign my name on it, Suyang stopped me.

Did he regret already? I was startled.

“You’re not going to read this before signing?”

“No, it’s fine. It’s okay. I’m very talented and capable of many things. Whatever you want me to do wouldn’t be much of an obstacle for me.” Then, I elbowed Suyang and swiftly signed my name and urged him as well.

Suyang casually signed his name on the contract as he sighed at me. “Considering how you didn’t go through the contract, I feel like it is necessary of me to tell you as my assistant, your most important job is to guide me to the correct state of mind.”

“Guide you into a state of mind...what do you mean?” This is the first time I heard of such a role.

“Remember the first time we met? Do you remember what Shen Shaoqian and I were doing? Something like that. In order to create impactful writing, I need to personally live the character’s life. I need to be in his exact mood in order to write vividly.”

I somewhat understood as I nodded, “So I have to act? I have to act whatever role you want me to act?”

Suyang nodded. He seemed proud of my understanding, “Yes. Acting. I also need it to be realistic.”

“Ok. Acting is no problem. When I was young, I often lied. So now, I’m very experienced at pretending.” I effortlessly boasted. Suddenly, Suyang got very close to me and forced me to back up against the wall.

He bent his waist, and now there was only the distance of a fist between our faces. Although he looked very sloppy at the moment, it couldn’t conceal his natural beauty.

I pulled back my neck and was at my wits’ end.

“Uh...what are you doing?”

Suyang’s eyes twinkled like stars as he pursed his mouth and smiled gracefully. He slowly spoke, “My next creation is related to love.”
