Chapter 0513: Signing the Contract

Wang Jinghua certainly had her exceptional qualities.

A woman who could be called the top agent in the country, moving between several companies, building a formidable reputation, and even propelling her own precious son to stardom—if such a person weren't capable, she would have long been devoured, bones and all, without a trace.

So, what she really valued was Zhou Yun's potential.

Just like Fan Baobao—back when Fan Baobao first made a name for herself with the "Qingzui Girl" image, Wang Jinghua decisively began to approach her.

And now, because Zhou Yun often hung out with Fan Baobao, she naturally came into Wang Jinghua's sight. After learning about Zhou Yun's situation, Wang Jinghua felt that she could sign this girl.

Whether or not she becomes famous in the future, it's just a long-term investment.

Zhou Yun naturally didn't know what Wang Jinghua was thinking; she was feeling a bit dizzy herself.

"Sister Hua wants to sign me?"

Zhou Yun looked at Fan Baobao in surprise, repeating the question.

Fan Baobao nodded: "That's what she said."

"Then, what should I do?" Zhou Yun asked with a hint of panic.

At this time, she was only twenty-one, not yet graduated from university. Although her family was well-off, she was still just an ordinary girl harboring dreams of becoming a star.

Then suddenly an agent came over and said they wanted to sign her, that they saw potential in her. Of course Zhou Yun felt a bit lost.

"Haha, what's there to hesitate about? Just sign it," Zhao Fusheng said with a smile beside her. "You're planning to be a star anyway, so no matter what, sign first and talk later."

In his view, whether it was Zhou Yun as a newcomer or Fan Baobao, there was no need to agonize over roles. As a newcomer, if someone signs you and gives you work, just take it obediently.

Unless you have the ability to become famous quickly, this is the safest and most reliable path.

In the film and television industry, having connections and not having connections lead to completely different paths of development.

Though reluctant to admit it, that's just how things are in this country—or rather, the whole world is like this, and no one can do anything about it.

"Then should I sign?" Zhou Yun thought for a moment and asked Fan Baobao tentatively.

"Sign it. That way we can be together," Fan Baobao said with a grin.

She naturally hoped Zhou Yun could be in the same company as her, so at least they would have each other for company.

As for resources, Fan Baobao had never thought about it. In her view, she and Zhou Yun were good friends, and it didn't matter who got the resources.

It wasn't that Fan Baobao was being saintly, but because she had always felt that having enough money was fine. Originally, she was focused on making money because her family really needed it; without money, Zhao's dad would be under too much pressure, and her mother and sister would have no one to rely on. But now, the family's situation was getting better and better. Her mother had even said on the phone last time that if things didn't go well in the entertainment industry, she could come back and help with the business.

Although her mother's main intention was to urge her to marry Zhao Fusheng and have children soon, Fan Baobao also understood that the family no longer needed her to earn money to support them.

So now, what she cared about more was whether she could fulfill her dream of becoming an actress and a star. As for resources, she really didn't care that much.

As for Zhao Fusheng, he was even more indifferent. As long as Fan Baobao was happy, that was fine.

"All right, I'll sign." Zhou Yun nodded.

Fan Baobao smiled, picked up the phone and called Wang Jinghua back. Soon the two agreed to take Zhou Yun to Huayi that afternoon to sign the contract.

Zhao Fusheng didn't mind; this was Zhou Yun's business, so he wouldn't get involved.

Perhaps because she was about to sign with an agency, Zhou Yun had a good appetite today. Coupled with Fan Baobao's exceptional cooking, the three of them finished four dishes without leaving a scrap, much to Zhao Fusheng's chagrin—he had planned to take leftovers home. If not for the leftovers, he would have to cook dinner again.

Watching the two women leave, Zhao Fusheng went back home by himself.

He had been drinking heavily most of the day yesterday and stayed up late into the night, so he was actually very tired. Even though he had slept a few hours at Chen Dao's villa, the fatigue still hit him now. Fortunately, Fan Baobao was accompanying Zhou Yun to sign the contract, so he could get a good sleep.

After drinking, people sleep especially soundly, especially after a hangover—once asleep, it's hard to wake up.

When Zhao Fusheng woke up from his nap, he found it was already past five in the afternoon.

Luckily it was summer; at five o'clock the sky outside was still a little bright. If it were winter, it would be pitch dark outside.

"Hmm, why aren't they back yet?" Zhao Fusheng frowned and muttered to himself.

Fan Baobao and Zhou Yun had been out all afternoon. Signing a contract shouldn't be that troublesome, right?

With that thought, he took out his phone and dialed Fan Baobao.

Soon the call was answered, but the background seemed noisy. Zhao Fusheng frowned: "Where are you?"

"Huh?"

Fan Baobao's voice came through: "Didn't you check your text messages?"

Zhao Fusheng was startled: "I just woke up. What's up?"

"Zhou Yun and I came back to the dorm. She signed the contract today, and the other two girls in our dorm also passed their auditions for the crew. We decided to celebrate together today..."

Fan Baobao said loudly. Clearly, when these girls let loose, they could be quite wild.

Zhao Fusheng blinked. The girls in Fan Baobao's dorm had basically all stayed home for the summer break. Since they were about to graduate, they all hoped to find a place in the film and television industry. Who would have thought that just as school was about to start, good news would come one after another.

"Alright, you guys be careful." Zhao Fusheng gave a few instructions before hanging up.

Putting down the phone, he opened it and indeed saw the text message Fan Baobao had sent him, telling him about the gathering.

Not only her, but Zhou Yun had also sent him a message asking if he wanted to come along.

Zhao Fusheng smiled to himself and replied, "Have fun," then said no more.

It was a gathering of girls; none of the others had brought their boyfriends. As Fan Baobao's official boyfriend, being invited by Zhou Yun would be awkward.

Moreover, Zhao Fusheng wasn't familiar with Fan Baobao's other roommates. He had only eaten with them once at most, so there was no need to join.

He leisurely got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, then slowly walked to the living room. He grabbed an apple from the fridge and, while munching on it, turned on the TV.

He had been watching for less than ten minutes when his phone vibrated. Zhao Fusheng looked down and saw it, and his expression immediately turned grim...
