45 『Signing of Contract』 (1/2)
”It's a pleasure to meet you,” Wu Fei smiles. Her eyes crinkling up as she politely grasps the man's outstretched hand. She attentively looks at this man's expression.
Wang Jueshi's lips quirk up into a smile upon noticing the young woman's guarded expression. He looks at their clasp hands and his eyes flashed with a myriad of emotions.
Some of the emotions made Wu Fei stare at this man thoughtfully. This guy, what's with that brief look of sadness and regret? Most of all… Why? Why is he looking at her that way?
That familiar look of seeing someone else in her place.
She… really hates that kind of gaze ah. It reminds her of how Jun Qiang used to look at her. So full of longing and love that Wu Fei really abhors it.
”Still,” Wang Jueshi abruptly speaks up. ”Miss Wu is truly admirable.” He continues as the three people moved to settle into their own seats.
A certain CEO, who sat there at the side, forgotten by the three people: ”…”
(-_-#)
Is his presence really that low now?!
”Oh?” Wu Fei raises an eyebrow in interest.
”Why is that so?” She questions curiously as she leisurely reaches out to pour in some tea in her cup.
Wang Jueshi merely smiles at her leisure and calm actions. Causing the female in front of him to furrow her brows as annoyance and dislike flickers on her eyes.
”Even though it would have been easier for Miss Wu to quickly become a famous and well-known artist with her background, she still admirably chooses to rely on her own personal strength and skills rather than connections.”
With his polite smile, and a tone that made those listening to bristle in anger, Wu Fei's eyes twitch in annoyance as the distant memory of a certain cute little thing threatening to exterminate her came to mind.
Really a ghost that would follow her no matter what! 086!!
Now thinking of her family's system whom she had inadvertently pampered to high heavens these past few months, Wu Fei smiles sweetly.
Wang Jueshi frowns a bit from the sudden cold chill that traveled down to his spine from the sight of the female's bright and sweet smile.
… Why did he have the feeling of having just dug a pit for him to fall to?
Eyeing the seething girl in front of him, the handsome young man smiles lightly. His usual distant but polite eyes soften as he thought of another woman. So, so similar ah.
”Ahem,” He Zhicheng, this very protective cousin and staunch supporter of a certain Film Emperor, timely coughs. He hands two white folders, each, to the three people.
”We have four copies, each, for these two contracts. One of those copies will be kept by CEO Wu, the one in my hands shall be the company's copy of the contracts while the one in your hands will be your own copies of the contracts.” He explains as the three people start to read the contracts.
”I suggest that everyone read the stipulations and conditions of the contract before signing it. We can discuss the terms later on.”
A certain CEO seriously and meticulously looked through the two contracts. Secretary Lin, who was standing behind him as per usual, couldn't help but scold the young man within his mind.
This boss! Why are you showing such diligence and care towards this contract drafted by He Zhicheng, the man who would never allow his little baby cousin to suffer a loss or grievance even from him, when you had rarely even looked at those business contracts in your desk yesterday?!
(╬ Ò﹏Ó)
Wu Ling Xun habitually ignores the resentful and aggrieved gaze from his secretary. Secretary Lin can wait! A certain doting and loving brother thought to himself decisively. These documents should be the priority!
Adjacent to the man's, whose IQ often lowers when it concerns his little sister, chair; Wang Jueshi reads through the documents solemnly. Each sentence cause his eyebrows to rise in surprise.
Just… Is this even the standard contract? Why did this contract appear so biased?
While the two men are seriously and conscientiously reading through the contract with vigor and a mind that quickly dissects and analyzes the statements, the female across them unhurriedly and calmly reads through the contract with a lackadaisical attitude.
She merely skims through the words, sometimes stopping on a sentence and reading it again when something caught her interest. From the beginning to the end, she adopts this kind of attitude before she finished reading the contents of the folder containing her fake contract. She then moved on to reading her real contract with the same attitude.
He Zhicheng, who was observing everything, couldn't help but wonder who, exactly, his soon-to-be artiste is. Why is it that Wu Fei, this lazy woman, seems so relaxed and serene compared to these two young men?
Why is it that Wu Fei seems so relaxed and leisure compared to these two men who are earnestly looking through the two contracts?
Most of all, Wu Ling Xun, this unscrupulous and sly bastard is actually doubting his very own cousin?! What did this bossy CEO think of him ah? Someone who would cheat his very own cousin?! Why doesn't he look at the mirror before looking at someone else huh?
Just as He Zhicheng could continue to ridicule and disdain a certain devious fox, said subject of his thoughts suddenly spoke up.
”It seems alright.” Wu Ling Xun forced himself to say those words upon seeing that his darling little sister was looking at the papers in approval.
Behind him, Secretary Lin applauds this man's slowly improving self-control. Even though this old man can see you looking so pained as though you wish to say something, Eldest Young Master, allow this old man to praise your efforts on restraining from spoiling and pampering your little sister!
