Contract
Daisy came in quickly with a cup of tea and a cup of coffee.
Lu Yan was not polite, took a sip from the teacup, and praised, “Good tea.”
Su Mo nodded, as if it should have been so, “Mr. Lu is someone who knows goods.”
Lu Yan smiled lightly, stopped talking, and drank tea slowly.
After being silent for a while, Su Mo spoke, not in a hurry, “This time I invite Mr. Lu. First of all, I want to apologize to Mr. Lu. The incident a few days ago caused Mr. Lu to suffer losses. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
Lu Yan still smiled and said nothing.
Su Mo handed over a document in his hand, “This is my sincerity to express my apology.”
Lu Yan wondered, “What is it?”
“A contract of Starry sky.”
Lu Yan hesitated a little, and Su Mo said, “Mr. Lu, don’t rush to refuse, let’s look at the terms first.”
Lu Yan was not hypocritical, took over the contract and looked at it carefully.
After reading the contract, Lu Yan secretly took a deep breath, not because the terms were harsh, but because the conditions were too good.
The term of the contract was three years. The contract stipulates that within the three years, Starry sky at least give two plays for Lu Yan every year, one endorsement, three advertisements, or equivalent work. If Starry sky deliberately hided or suppressed Lu Yan, it would be considered a breach of contract, and a large amount of liquidated damages would need to be paid, but if Lu Yan was dissatisfied with the company’s arrangement, he would pay much less liquidated damages. In addition, although the minimum guarantee provided by the company was not much, Lu Yan could get much more commissions from his work than ordinary artists, and could even catch up with the commissions of the most popular artists. It could be said that this contract was drawn up entirely based on Lu Yan’s interests, which was simply a good thing dropped from the sky.
Lu Yan couldn’t know what kind of expression he should have. “This contract, there is no room for people to refuse. It’s just that I don’t understand why you gave me such favorable conditions.”
Su Mo had always been serious at work, “First of all, it’s for the sincerity I just said. Then it’s because you’re worth it. I’m a businessman, in business, I can give you such good conditions, I just trust you can bring more benefits to the company. Does Mr. Lu have no confidence in himself? “
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “If I say I don’t have confidence, wouldn’t I fail you too much. But, isn’t Director Su afraid that I will break the contract?”
Su Mo was unmoved and said lightly, “I believe you will never find another company that is willing to give you such favorable conditions.”
It was nice to talk to smart people, “May I ask who my agent is?”
“Qin Feng. Are you satisfied?” Su Mo asked.
Qin Feng was one of Starry sky’s gold medal brokers, and none of the artists who passed him were not popular.
“Very satisfied.” Lu Yan nodded and smiled sincerely, “I really can’t think of any other reason not to accept it.”
“Then Mr. Lu can take the contract back and take a closer look. If you can sign the contract, contact my special assistant, Lu Yu. Yesterday you two spoke on the phone.”
“No need,” Lu Yan said while picking up the pen on the table and swiping his name on the contract, “Director Su is quick to talk, and stupid or slow.โ
The contract was made in duplicate. After Lu Yan signed it, he handed one copy to Su Mo and kept the other one to himself.
“Then, welcome to join Starry Sky, happy cooperation!” Su Mo extended his hand first.
Lu Yan shook it lightly, “Happy cooperation!”
Lu Yan stood up, “Director Su is busy, so I won’t bother you much.”
Seeing that he was leaving, Su Mo suddenly blurted out, “It’s almost time for lunch, do you want to have a meal together?”
“This, don’t need it.” Lu Yan refused with some embarrassment.
Su Mo looked at him, and finally couldn’t help but slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and joked, “I thought you would at least find a reason, such as having another appointment.”
Lu Yan shrugged, “I think you would be more willing to listen to the truth.”
Su Mo nodded and said seriously, “If I said that the previous incident was not at my own discretion, would you believe it?”
Lu Yan affirmed, “I believe it.”
“Oh, why? Don’t you think it’s me who is swaying first?” Su Mo asked curiously.
Lu Yan smiled and said in a low voice, “If Director Su only has this kind of means and energy, then I should really worry about my future.”
Su Mo quietly looked at the door that was opened and closed gently when Lu Yan left, thoughtful.
He did not deny that Lu Yan was a bit special. When he first saw him on the set, he was touched by his composure and introversion that was completely incompatible with his age. Young people like to pretend to be old and Su Mo had seen a lot. But Lu Yan was different. He seemed to have really passed through enough years to settle down and stabilized, obviously he was still so young. Afterwards, watching him freely switch between roles, grasping his emotions to the utmost, his eyes that could describe the endless vicissitudes of the world were especially expressive, especially the look when he was on the verge of death, Su Mo’s whole heart was filled with emotion, making him faintly in pain.
For the first time in 30 years, Su Mo had to admit that he was a little moved.
Su Mo had never been in love, nor had he ever been in a relationship with anyone. One was because the work was too busy, and the other was because it was boring. In his position, there had never been a shortage of handsome men and beauties who were willing to throw their arms around him. He had no interest at all, not even to give it a try. He didn’t like to have too much physical contact with people casually, to put it nicely, he had cleanliness, to be honest, he may be cold.
After fighting in the business world for many years, Su Mo had never been an indecisive person. Since he had a feeling, he would take action. He thought that even for this rare little touch, as long as Lu Yan was willing, he would give him the best. Unexpectedly, Lu Yan refused, directly and simply.
Su Mo wasn’t too surprised. He even felt a sense of relief. To be honest, he was used to controlling everything for so many years. So, he told Su Jue that it was okay, and it was really okay, there would probably be no intersection in the future. Who would have thought that Su Jue would make such a fuss for him? When Su Mo first heard it, his heart was filled with unbearableness. The reasons he said to Su Jue afterward were facts, and it was undeniable that there were some unbearable factors. Otherwise, with Su Mo’s methods, how could he be afraid of any challenge.
Signing Lu Yan into the Starry sky and deciding to arrange it personally was a challenge to Su Mo, a challenge to his emotional control. It seemed that being cold was a bit disadvantageous. Su Mo smiled bitterly and thought that this Lu Yan had a greater impact on him than he thought. For example, the last invitation and the inquiries with similar explanations just now were not his usual style.
Lu Yan was in a very good mood. When he got out of the elevator, he smiled at the lady at the front desk who had guided him before. She was very bright. He was in a better mood when he heard a few low-pitched screams behind him.
Starry sky’s work efficiency was really high. Shortly after returning home, he received a call from Qin Feng and asked him to meet at the company the next day.
Standing in the hall of the Starry Sky building again, his mood was completely different from yesterday.
This time, Lu Yan didn’t wait for the security to ask, and went directly to the front desk, “May I ask what floor is Mr. Qin’s office on?”
The lady at the front desk was still the same one from yesterday. She obviously recognized him and showed a warm smile, “It’s you, sir. Mr. Qin’s office is on the fifteenth floor. You can go up from the elevator over there.”
Lu Yan nodded and said thank you.
Just as he was about to leave, Lucy called out, “May I ask your surname, sir?”
Lu Yan turned his head and smiled, “The last name is Lu, name Lu Yan.”
Not long after Lu Yan walked away, Xiao Mei and Si Jia came together again, “It’s the young man from yesterday, he smiled so charmingly, I was about to be electrocuted.” Xiao Mei exclaimed exaggeratedly holding her heart.
Si Jia also asked gossip, “Who is he here for today? Director Su didn’t come today.”
Lucy smiled mysteriously, reached out and nodded at Xiao Mei’s head, “As you wish, he is looking for Qin Feng today.”
“Wow, a gold medal broker. Shouldn’t he be so cruel? He has a secret relationship with Qin Feng as soon as he joined the company.”
“Hey, don’t forget who he was looking for yesterday, it was Director Su.”
“You mean…”
She was slightly bumped and gave a tacit look.
The three young girls didn’t know that their unintentional gossip was actually close to the truth.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he ran into an acquaintance.
Yan Shaohui was also very surprised to see the person coming, “Lu Yan? Why are you here?”
Before waiting for Lu Yan to answer, he dragged his tone and said suddenly, “Oh, so you signed for Starry Sky. Not bad, as expected of a person who even Director Li praised, he has a bright future.”
Lu Yan smiled, as if he didn’t hear his cynicism.
Yan Shaohui thought that Lu Yan was not easy to talk to, and became even more enthusiastic, “You came to this floor to find your agent, right? How is it? Which agent was arranged to take you? You may not know if you are a newcomer. Going with the right agent is half the battle. If you are not satisfied with the company’s arrangement, do you want me to talk to you and get someone with more experience?”
Just as Lu Yan was about to say something, he was interrupted and continued, “You don’t need to thank me too much, after all, we have been in the same crew, and we have some friendship.”
Lu Yan saw the man with glasses who was walking behind Yan Shaohui standing still behind him, and coughed lightly, “Lu Yan’s current agent is me, if he has any dissatisfaction, naturally, I will tell the company, so I won’t bother Hui Shao.”
Lu Yan clearly saw that Yan Shaohui’s face changed when he heard this voice, it was blue and white, it was really wonderful, and when he turned around, he squeezed out an ugly smile, “Brother Feng, I was just joking with Lu Yan, don’t take it to heart. I won’t bother you if you have something else to do.”
When there were only two people left, Qin Feng stretched out his hand and said casually, “Qin Feng.”
Lu Yan shook his hand without being arrogant or humble, and introduced the same way “Lu Yan.”
