Chapter 21
An Unequal Treaty
As Huo Shen finished speaking, An Xiaowan raised her head, tilting it back as if feeling suffocated. Her beautiful neck formed an alluring and seductive arc, like a graceful swan.
Huo Shen barged in willfully and lowered his head, biting at An Xiaowan’s neck.
His aura was domineering, and his pride emperor-like, burning him like fire.
That night, An Xiaowan felt as if she was placed into a pool of lava, constantly floating and sinking, continuously burning her soul.
An Xiaowan didn’t know how long she was in a daze, and then, finally, everything went black.
—
The next morning, An Xiaowan woke up feeling hungry.
The enormous room was empty, and Huo Shen had already left.
An Xiaowan’s nose twitched at the aroma of food in the air, and her stomach rumbled loudly in response.
“Knock knock.”
Before she could get up, she heard a loud knock, followed by a servant’s voice from outside the room. “Ms. An, are you awake? Do you need breakfast now?”
“I will eat downstairs.” An Xiaowan got up quickly and found a sleeping robe to wear.
Breakfast was sumptuous.
But there was no one else at the dining table, Huo Shen had left early in the morning.
An Xiaowan glanced around quickly, and then she happily sat down to quickly start eating in a relaxed manner. While having breakfast, she took out her phone to go through her schedule for the day.
Her schedule for the day was busy as usual, and she would have to leave early.
“Ms. An, are you interested in an audition for the ‘Shuojin’ brand?” Assistant Luo smiled faintly.
An Xiaowan immediately placed down her bread and looked up.
She slightly squinted her eyes and smiled lightly. “There are no benefits without reason.”
“Of course.” He smiled like a sly old fox and took out a contract.
“Ms. An doesn’t belong to any agency yet, right? President Huo bought over, both, the Nuolan Show, and that piece of land for you, yet the results were not good.” Assistant Luo continued, smiling cunningly. “President Huo lost so much money because of you, so you would have to earn it back for him.”
An Xiaowan looked at the long chain of zeros on the contract and was dumbfounded.
“It was your President who wanted to buy over that show, what does this have to do with me?!”
“Without President Huo, you wouldn’t even be able to perform in the show.” Assistant Luo’s gaze deepened as he continued. “Therefore, you will be an employee under President Huo from today, and this is a contract for the same.”
He then placed the contract in front of An Xiaowan.
“Your basic monthly salary will be RMB 6,000. Also, 20% of the earnings you bring to the company will be your share, while the remaining 80% will be automatically transferred into President Huo’s account. This amount will be adjusted against the loss you caused.”
Looking at the provisions in this unequal treaty, An Xiaowan raised her brows and could not help but smile.
How did she even owe such a big amount of money?
“Ms. An, this is also done by the President’s orders.” Assistant Luo reminded her with a smile.
Reading between the lines, it meant that it did not matter if she signed the contract or not. Either way, Huo Shen would still have ways to torture her until she gave in.
The corner of An Xiaowan’s mouth twitched.
Before she could even get her money from being bought off, he had already set a trap for her.
This man was really…
—
The audition for Shuojin’s product launch started at 3 pm.
Standing on the ground floor, An Xiaowan looked at the time. It was still 30 minutes before the auditions started.
Her heart was calm, and she went up to the floor where auditions were to be held.
But as soon as she stepped into the audition area, An Xiaowan’s complexion immediately changed.
In the judge’s office, a familiar tall figure was already sitting in one of the seats for judges.
“Oh my, An Xue is the judge!”
“Did you see An Xue sitting inside? She’s so beautiful~”
“She is covered in expensive clothes and accessories from head to toe, and all her items are at least a few hundred thousand!”
An Xiaowan stood at the entrance of the corridor, her gaze turning cold.
At the same time, An Xue, who was in the office, looked up.
Her gaze passed through the glass door and landed on An Xiaowan’s face. She raised her brows suddenly and gave an ambitious but faint smile.
