Just now, Xue Ling had fabricated a scene of Qi Ruishi meeting him on the road yesterday and wanting to sign him on. Foxes were not rare in human culture, and the stories of them being fox spirits or seductresses were more or less related to their extremely high enchantment and bewitching abilities. After the first two worlds, Xue Ling’s soul had become much more stable and it was no longer a problem to use small magic tricks like these. This was also why he was willing to make a serious bet with Bai Hao—he had absolute confidence that he would be able to have White Light Entertainment sign a contract with him.

The system could only hold its fuzzy tail between its paws and bite it, feeling that its host was cheating.

But Xue Ling couldn’t hear its thoughts, and would most likely pretend not to have heard even if he could.

“I am a director.” Xue Ling slowly explained his identity while gradually deepening his hold on Qi Ruishi through hypnosis. He made her less vigilant towards himself, and more receptive towards his words. “So, I can’t spend all my energies on acting. I can follow the schedule that you arrange for me, but we need to agree on the schedule beforehand.”

Qi Ruishi frowned and seemed to think that it was too much for a newcomer to make this request, but finally just pursed her lips and nodded under Xue Ling’s hypnosis. “Fine. There should be mutual respect for work related things.”

Xueling smiled in satisfaction and watched as she took out the contract. Perhaps because she had been bewitched, the contract that Qi Ruishi brought out was a silver contract that was impossible for newcomers to receive.

Xue Ling was a little unsatisfied, but he knew he couldn’t go too far or else he would have to spend some time explaining this to Bai Hao later.

His hypnosis and suggestions were most effective when the other side was not familiar with him. It gave the other side the feeling that they were not meeting for the first time, and that their first meeting must have been very amazing. The more positively a person felt about Xue Ling, the more willing they would be to follow his words.

Bai Hao was obviously not included in this. He was very good towards Xue Ling even without any external factors.

After signing the contract, Xue Ling brought it with him and went downstairs. Since he had already made the trip, he might as well tell Bai Hao about it now so that his funds could be put into place more quickly. So he happily carried the contract with him and went to find Bai Hao, only to realize that he didn’t know which floor his office was on.

Xue Ling silently went to the front desk to inquire which floor the president’s office was situated on. Just as he was about to ask the system to make an appointment for himself, he heard Bai Hao’s voice. “Yueyue?”

Xue Ling shivered. Although he did not feel that he should be called by that kind of nickname, he still turned his head and looked at Bai Hao with some surprise. He blinked innocently. “Elder brother, what a coincidence…”

Bai Hao came over and took his hand. “You came to the company to find me?”

The person at the front desk was startled. He had just wanted to say that it was impossible to see the president without an appointment, but the president himself had already pulled the youth to his side.

Heavens, why did the president who always took the high-and-cold route have a smile on his face?

Xue Ling brought up the hand that still held the contract, looking a little like he wanted to show off, and said, “I came to sign a contract with the company.”

Bai Hao paused, and remembered the bet they had made. He looked over with some amusement as he led them towards the president’s elevator. “Oh? What contract did you sign?”

Xue Ling’s footsteps hesitated, and he looked a little unhappy. “Only silver…”

Although Bai Hao could tell by the tone of his voice just now that he must have won the bet, he did not expect that his younger brother would be strong enough to get a silver-grade contract. “Who did you sign under?” He didn’t ask about how Bai Yue had gotten the contract signed as the bet had been a way for him to tease his brother in the first place, and taking it too seriously was not his style. After all, this was something he had already promised to do.

“Qi Ruishi.”

Bai Hao nodded, pressed a button on the elevator, and called the assistant. “Have Qi Ruishi come to my office with a diamond level contract. Yes, I want her to sign with someone.” After hanging up, he rubbed Xue Ling’s head. “Now that you have won the bet, according to our agreement, elder brother will prepare the best of everything for you. We’ll change the contract level to diamond, and arrange for a team to help you with production.”

Xue Ling had not expected him to be so efficient and was still muddled as he was pulled towards the president’s office. It wasn’t until they exited the elevator that he came to his senses – he clearly hadn’t bewitched Bai Hao; could it be that this man had a brother complex?

Seeing that he had not spoken during the whole journey and had a face full of confusion, Bai Hao waved a hand in front of his face, trying to get his attention. “Yueyue?”

Xue Ling blinked. “Are you calling me?”

Bai Hao nodded and said, “I heard them call you Little Yue last night.” Unspoken were the words ‘I want to call you by a more intimate nickname than what others use’.

Xue Ling gave Bai Hao a somewhat complicated look. Once again, he lamented that it was no wonder the original body lived such a tragic life—he had let go of such a big golden finger.

In fact, Bai Hao was being so easy going because he was in a great mood. If it hadn’t been that this morning, his secretary had showed him all of Bai Yue’s interpersonal relationships and major events during his years of studying abroad, allowing him to discover that his brother had never made randomly made friends, nor had he had any romantic or physical relationships with any men or women. If he did have a friend named Cole, Bai Hao might have still been in a black temper. His mood now was totally different from last night’s depressed-to-death state. In addition to his joy, he was naturally more intimate with Xue Ling.

Xue Ling had no idea regarding the twists and turns occurring in the other party’s brain. Since he had already been brought up, he naturally sat on the sofa of the man’s office. And then he watched as a blank and confused Qi Ruishi came up and placed a new contract in front of him.

Bai Hao’s original words were: “This is my brother, the second young master of Bai family. Sign a diamond level contract with him – the one you signed before can be regarded as a cover. You will be responsible for his development in the future. Directing is his main job. Right now, he needs to shoot a film for graduation and will probably need assistance with many aspects. I will have the leader of the team contact you.”

Qi Ruishi: “???”

She understood all these words separately. Why was it so confusing when they were all connected together?

The second young master was also a great man, able to walk through the back door so openly and honestly.
