222 Signing the Contrac (1/2)

The next day.

Yeo Ri had gone to Hope Entertainment's building along with Gun to discuss about the contract.

They had arranged for a time slot to meet the president herself that matched with Gun's longest free period in-between his classes.

Yeo Ri felt sorry about taking his time away when he was already so busy, but the young man himself did not mind it. Gun was happy that Yeo Ri wanted to do things for herself.

When they arrived at the building, Park Soo Yeon was already waiting at the lobby area to welcome them.

”Yeo Ri-ah, Gun, you're here!” She jovially walked over to the siblings with a huge grin on her face. Ever since Yeo Ri told her that she was willing to sign with her company, Park Soo Yeon had been extremely overjoyed. Her over-the-top reaction had caused the other employees to shake their heads helplessly with a smile.

”Let's go; I already have the contract laid out in my office,” the woman spoke as she ushered the two to the elevator. She swiped her staff card over the sensor inside the elevator and pressed the fifth floor button while making small talk.

The Hope Entertainment building had five floors altogether, and the topmost floor was reserved for the president's office and meeting rooms.

Ding!

The elevator stopped at the second floor. A group of people who had been waiting for the elevator looked surprised upon noticing the trio. Half a beat later, they all smiled and entered the elevator.

”Congratulations, President, you finally got your wish.”

”It's a done deal, huh? No wonder you were so happy yesterday, President.”

”Good for you, President Park!”

They all congratulated the woman, glancing curiously at the pair of siblings. Their eyes lingered on Yeo Ri, who had taken off her disguise when she came into the building earlier. However, they did not freak out over her; they were all familiar with celebrities and had worked with them on many occasions.

The group of four or five people greeted the Lee duo calmly. They were in the presence of the company's president as well, so they kept their composure. Since the two probably came to the company to sign the contract, the insiders had already regarded Yeo Ri as a part of the company, and thus treated her warmly.

The elevator was not big, so a lot of noise was made despite their attempt to keep quiet.

”Hello, everyone. Please take care of me in the future,” Yeo Ri felt suffocated by the attention, but she kept a polite smile as she returned their greetings with a slight tilt of her head. There was not enough room for her to bow properly so the seniors from the company did not mind her half-hearted bow. After exchanging greetings, they all kept to themselves.

Finally, after several moments, the elevator stopped at the fifth floor. Park Soo Yeon and the Lee duo walked out, bidding their farewells to the crowd in the elevator with another head-bow.

Park Soo Yeon's office was at the end of the corridor.

Inside the room, Park Soo Yeon's secretary stood next to the coffee table, arranging snacks on top of an ornate plate. Seeing the trio come in, he moved away from the sitting area and greeted them with a smile.

”Welcome, president. Welcome, Miss Lee Yeo Ri, Mr. Lee Gun. Please, take a seat. I've already prepared the contract on the table. Take a look,” he gestured at the table, pulling out a black fountain pen from his blazer and placing it next to the maroon-coloured hardcover folder which contained the paperworks.

”Thank you for the hard work.”

Park Soo Yeon invited the siblings to sit on the couch as she sat across them.

Gun exchanged glances with Yeo Ri before he picked up the contract. Carefully, he read every single one of the clauses.

Yeo Ri watched her brother as he scrutinised the pieces of paper within the folder. She didn't understand much about contracts so she left everything to Gun.

”Since Yeo Ri is still new to all of this, I recommended a two-year contract. Of course, we are not planning to work her like a mule in these two years,” Park Soo Yeon began explaining. ”I've already arranged several projects for Yeo Ri, but as stated in the contract, it's up to her whether she wants to do them or not.”

”The profits earned from her works would be 80:20, with 20% of the cut given to the company and Yeo Ri will retain 80% of what she earns.”
