Seeing that Su Yan wasn’t responding, Zhao Lina continued, “Of course, if my request puts you in a difficult spot, then forget it. I just felt that he should sign a contract with a trustworthy person instead of another company. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the entertainment industry in the future, at least under you, I can be completely at ease.”
Su Yan’s face was expressionless as she listened to Zhao Lina’s words of trust. However, she was frowning mentally. If Wei Botao was not Zhao Lina’s son, then she could sign him as she pleased. But signing Wei Botao meant that she had to take responsibility for him and his actions. If he caused any trouble in the country, Su Yan would be the first person to bear the responsibility.
Su Yan felt very troubled by Wei Botao’s expectant gaze. Zhao Lina was not looking for a job for her son. She was clearly looking for a guardian and a nanny.
After hesitating for a while. Su Yan decided to reply, “You’ve said it yourself. We’re both straightforward people. So I shall be blunt. It’s not difficult for Dragon Emperor Entertainment to sign him, but I personally am not in favor of it. If it’s for your sake, I can reluctantly agree to it. However, it’s not good to force things that aren’t meant to be.”
There was one more thing Su Yan did not say out loud. She had gotten used to her carefree life and could not stand troublesome matters. Moreover, it was better to avoid trouble. Why would she want to create trouble for herself?
“Haha, Miss Su, I understand your concern. I did not ask Botao to sign under your company for you to take special care of him but rather, to let him train himself in society. He’s not young anymore and can bear all the responsibility for his actions,” Zhao Lina said.
After she said this, Zhao Lina picked up her bag and took out an agreement from it slowly. It was obvious that she had made preparations beforehand.
As she handed the agreement to Su Yan, Zhao Lina said, “Personal relationships and work ought to be kept as separate matters. I’ve been in the business world all my life, so I understand these little rules. To not make things difficult for you, I had someone draw up an agreement. It’s written very clearly that Dragon Emperor Entertainment shall sign Botao under their company for three years. During this period, no matter what trouble Botao causes, it’s entirely his individual act and has nothing to do with Dragon Emperor Entertainment and Miss Su. If his actions affect the reputation of Dragon Emperor Entertainment, or if he were to cause the company to suffer losses, all the expenses that he earns within this period shall be used as compensation to Dragon Emperor Entertainment.”
Seeing that Zhao Lina had made proper arrangements for everything, Su Yan had nothing more to say. The other party was completely prepared and did not give her a chance to refuse at all. There was no excuse that she could use to turn Zhao Lina down. Furthermore, Su Yan was the biggest winner here. She had recruited a handsome young talent without spending a single cent.
Su Yan smiled bitterly and said, “CEO Zhao, I have to say that you are really amazing. How could I continue to refuse when your sincerity is so great? I will sign him on behalf of Dragon Emperor Entertainment.”
Having made up her mind, there was no need to hesitate anymore. Su Yan took the agreement from Zhao Lina and signed it. Then, she handed the agreement to Wei Botao.
“Young Master Wei, welcome to Dragon Emperor. I hope that we can work well together. Tomorrow, our staff will contact you to handle the procedures for joining the company,” Su Yan said formally.
Wei Botao smiled and said, “Sister Summer, you can address me as Botao from now on.”
Su Yan nodded and said, “Then you can also address me as Sister Su or Sister Yan from now on. For formal occasions in the company, you can call me President Su. But for the time being, I don’t want too many people to know me as Summer.”
“Okay, Sister Su.” Wei Botao nodded.
After the official business was over, Su Yan and Zhao Lina chatted as they dined happily. The two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about, their conversations covered topics from the entertainment circle to foreign countries, from movies and music to places of interest.
After the meal, Su Yan and Zhao Lina walked out of the hotel together. As she looked at Wei Botao who was bubbling with excitement, Su Yan smiled bitterly in her heart. How did she manage to sign Zhao Lina’s son into the company over the duration of a meal? This matter had gotten out of hand..
Just then, she caught sight of a familiar figure from the corners of her eyes. Su Yan subconsciously looked over and realized that it was Wei Zhou. The corners of her mouth twitched. They say that destiny makes enemies meet, but how could she bump into her ex-husband everywhere she went?
Wei Zhou was dressed in a dark blue suit. There was no expression on his aloof face. He saw Su Yan from afar, but there was a smoldering look in his eyes when he looked at Su Yan.
However, he did not acknowledge Su Yan. Instead, he walked towards Zhao Lina and said, “CEO Zhao, I didn’t expect to meet you here!”
After greeting Zhao Lina, he suddenly turned around to look at Su Yan, with a cold expression. Su Yan ignored him and said to Zhao Lina, “CEO Zhao, I’ll go back first. Goodbye.”
Zhao Lina smiled and nodded. Her gaze moved back and forth between Su Yan and Wei Zhou. She did not expect that this pair of enemies would meet here.
Seeing that Su Yan had gone far away, Zhao Lina said, “President Wei is such a busy man. How did you find the time to come around here?”
Wei Zhou put his hands in his pockets and frowned. “You know my ex-wife?”
“She’s a new friend that I befriended recently. I admire her, personally,” Zhao Lina replied affirmatively..
