”You are Ashley, right? I'm Lynn Du, the director of human resources. ”
Ashley stood up and shook hands with him. ”Nice to meet you!”
Lynn sat in the opposite site of Ashley, ”I heard from Jasper that you would come to the company for contract negotiation. Why did you come over a month later?” She continued
”I have been going through the resignation process last month. I left the job yesterday.”
”What did you do before? What was your major in college? ”
”I used to be an entertainment journalist in Starlight Weekly, I majored in acting in university and then I went to Columbia University to study communication.
”You don't need to be nervous. Today is not an interview. You don't need to have an interview either. Just sign a contract. So today I am here to discuss the contract content with you and the arrangements after signing the contract.
”Okay.”

Of course, these are not obligatory, we will discuss the content of the notice and respect your opinions. Besides, your private feelings should also be handled according to your agent's opinion. You can't follow your own will... ”
Lynn had spoken a lot of rules and regulations, such as new comers are not qualified for negotiation. Ashley didn't refuse. She nodded her head to show her agreement.
”There are three months intensive training after the contract is signed. The training starts at 9 a.m., and ends at 11 p.m. When the training is over, your agent will arrange for your further education and notice. You're mainly an actor, right? Or you will consider to diversify your career?”
”If it's necessary, I can accept extend my work in other fields as appropriate. But I still hope to be an actress.”
It seemed that Lynn was very satisfied with her obedient attitude. ”This is our contract. You take a look first. I will ask for Jasper's opinion.”
Ashley thumbed through the contract. The content was the same as what Lynn had said just now, but the content were more detailed.
After about half an hour, Lynn came back. ”The contract needs to be changed. Jasper said that the commission to be changed to 50%. The contract period should be changed into five years. In fact, it's better for you. Do you have any problem? ”
”No problem. I will follow the company's arrangement.”
