Chapter 20 Contract Upgrade
Lingxia followed Yi'an into the office.
The office was large, with bookshelves all around and high-end carpets on the floor.
Behind the gray sofa, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stood a tall figure. The afternoon sun began to slant, casting a yellow halo through the glass and illuminating the man, giving him a kind of glow.
Ling Xia looked up, and because the sunlight was dazzling, she squinted slightly.
Yi An looked at her boss standing in front of the French windows, full of doubt. Wasn't he sitting just now? Why did he suddenly get up?
The man turned around; he was handsome and had an elegant demeanor. Perhaps because of his height, he exuded a sense of authority even when he wasn't speaking.
Seeing Ling Xia enter, Lin Tingshen sat down in the chair behind the solid wood table and gestured for Ling Xia to sit opposite him.
Yi'an?
The eldest brother seems a bit strange.
Looking bewildered, he stood behind the boss, ready to take the contract and talk to Ling Xia.
Wait a while, but the boss didn't make a move.
Yi An was full of questions.
She never expected that he would be her new boss, so she wasn't surprised to see him at all.
Did he know she was a company employee when they met at the Huating Hotel, which is why he helped her?
Thinking this way will make the connection possible. After all, Huating Hotel has a powerful background, and strangers generally don't have the guts to meddle in other people's business.
That must be it. Luckily, she managed to resist the temptation of the new boss's good looks and didn't do anything out of line, otherwise she would have been in big trouble.
Lin Tingshen noticed Ling Xia's stunning makeup and hairstyle today, and a flash of amazement crossed his eyes.
Today, she was wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress, her long hair slightly curled, exuding a queen-like aura. At this moment, she looked at him with innocent, slightly surprised eyes.
Ling Xia spoke first, saying, "Thank you, boss, for saving me from dire straits yesterday."
When dealing with your savior and your boss, you must show them that you are a grateful person.
Yi An: ?
Do the two know each other?
Lingxia's words mean that the boss saved her yesterday.
But he was with the boss all day yesterday, when did this happen?
Yi'an started brainstorming, showing even more enthusiasm than for work, since the boss wasn't someone who would act rashly.
Is there anything about Ling Xia that would make the boss interested?
Lin Tingshen was in a good mood. He tapped the table unconsciously with his hands as he looked at the woman sitting opposite him and spoke.
He said it was "a trivial matter," his expression nonchalant, as if it were no big deal.
“I know you studied acting under Professor Yang before, so you must have hoped to have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.”
No, I'm working hard now so I can relax and do nothing later.
"Your previous trending topics were all from variety shows and food vlogs. The only time you were trending was because you had a cameo role with only a few scenes. Your fan base is weak, so you need to focus more on acting in the future. Your current fans are because you are funny and good-looking, so of course you can continue this marketing approach."
Is this a compliment or an insult? Bosses are all the same, they only care about KPIs.
Xia was instructed to demonstrate the awareness of a working-class person and to always have the right attitude when dealing with superiors.
You're right, yes, yes, yes.
The answer was extremely quick, but also extremely perfunctory.
Even Yi An could see that Ling Xia was just going through the motions, let alone the shrewd Lin Tingshen.
Lin Tingshen glanced at her coldly. According to the information Yi Ancha had gathered, Yang Youning valued power; Chi Han valued fame and fortune; and Ling Xia was a lazy bum?
This entertainer is damn unambitious.
Seeing that Ling Xia's appearance (beauty) was inversely proportional to her ambition (lazy), Lin Tingshen had no choice but to use his trump card: "If you are promoted to a top-tier company within 3 years, I will give you 1% of the company's shares and make you a star shareholder. The previous two will receive the same." Ling Xia was stunned when she heard this. 1% of the shares, how many zeros is that?
Lin Tingshen watched as Ling Xia visibly perked up, her eyes glowing red.
"Let's sign a B-level contract today. As long as you have the ability, I'll give you plenty of confidence."
The B-level contract is for 5 years, guaranteeing Ling Xia a leading role in a TV series or a supporting role in a movie every year. If she becomes a top star ahead of time, her equity will increase by 1%.
Xingyao Entertainment is very efficient. The contract was signed at noon, and the team was already organized an hour later.
Ling Xia met her team in the conference room. Her agent, Sister Zhao, assistant, Tian Tian, and driver, Lao Li, were basically the same, with the addition of hairstylist Vi, photographer Pang Tai, and public relations representative Coco. Except for Tian Tian, who was a recent graduate, the others were all veterans in the industry.
Xingyao also provided Lingxia with a high-spec SUV. Today, Lingxia is moving from her small apartment to a large apartment that Xingyao provides for its artists, offering excellent privacy with 24-hour security.
After Lingxia's team left, ready to depart, Yi'an looked at her boss.
"I saw her yesterday and even saved her. How come I didn't know?" he said, as if teasing Lin Tingshen.
Most importantly, he personally negotiated the contract with Ling Xia, a privilege Yang Youning and Chi Han didn't receive. He even claimed there was no favoritism, though Ling Xia is indeed quite good-looking.
Lin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yi An, who was smirking. "She's my employee. I won't let anything happen to her. Besides, the Huating Hotel needs some management; not just anyone can get in."
Yi An looked at the meaningful smile on the boss's handsome face and wondered which unlucky person had won the lottery again.
