Chapter 618: Qin Huan’s Friend

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Previously, Murong Qiao had told An Nuo that she would consider signing established artistes for the company.

This idea had only been decided recently and came to an end.

After looking around the industry, Murong Qiao finally fixed her gaze on an artiste whose contract was about to expire. The other party’s name was Ning Xiunian.

Ning Xiunian was an experienced figure in the circle with nearly ten million fans. Recently, many people had been eyeing him and were tempted to make a move. Murong Qiao asked Jiang Chi to arrange a meal and meet him to talk about the contract.

The venue was set at Yunyue Hotel. When it was noon, Murong Qiao went to attend the appointment.

Ning Xiunian had a very refined image. It was more appropriate to call him a refined villain. The pair of gold-rimmed glasses which always sat on the bridge of his nose made him look very suitable for a supporting male villain role. When he smiled, the feeling was even stronger, making many directors like him very much. However, the premise was that his acting skills were too stiff.

However, according to the interview, he was not short-sighted at all. He only wore his glasses as a small hobby.

“Young Miss Murong, I’ve heard a lot about you.” The first time the two of them met, Ning Xiunian pulled out a chair for her very politely.

Murong Qiao thanked him. “Let’s talk business first?”

“I’m fine with anything.” Ning Xiu Nian nodded casually.

The two of them sat down at the table. Murong Qiao took out the contract and planned to negotiate with Ning Xiunian. Then, he saw the other party reach out and push the contract back to her.

“I can already memorize all the contracts with my current position.”

Ning Xiunian smiled relaxedly. “Compared to what’s already written on these papers, I care more about something else.”

“Tell me.” Murong Qiao agreed readily.

Ning Xiunian was right. At his level, resources were no longer the first thing he considered. With the works he had acted in, he could contact many directors even now.

When his contract was about to expire, Ning Xiunian also received many invitations, but he only agreed to Murong Qiao’s request.

“As long as the contract is not too disadvantageous, I can accept it. But what I care more about is that I only want to act in the scenes I want to act in. I don’t need the company to plan anything for me,” Ning Xiunian emphasized.

For someone like him who’d reached a point where it’s too difficult to take another step forward in his acting career, freedom became the most important.

After Ning Xiunian’s original company became famous, they treated him like a money tree and asked him to participate in various variety shows or take on scripts that he wasn’t comfortable in. It didn’t matter if he acted as an antagonist, a cameo, or a supporting role. In any case, he could earn them money.

“Sure.” Murong Qiao nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

It was better to say that she originally didn’t intend to treat the artistes under her as humans. For example, An Nuo, Shi Yang, and even the others were the same. They all developed according to the direction they liked.

Ning Xiunian then raised a few more points. They were all within the norm, and Murong Qiao felt that there was no problem.

“You’re much easier to talk to than I imagined.” Ning Xiunian chuckled.

Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows. “Imagined?”

“Uh-huh.”

Ning Xiunian agreed. “I’m friends with Qin Huan. I was also watching him on the show previously.”

Speaking of the devil, just as Ning Xiunian mentioned Qin Huan, his phone vibrated. It was a call from Qin Huan.

“The conditions proposed by CG are not bad. I’ll consider it seriously. I’ll give you an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest.” Ning Xiunian took the initiative to bid farewell.

Murong Qiao happened to have something on in the afternoon, so she nodded and bade farewell to Ning Xiunian.

“Hello?” Ning Xiunian picked up the call.

It was indeed Qin Huan’s call, but as soon as the call was picked up, the voice that came through was a little rowdy.

“Why did you answer so late—”

Ning Xiunian didn’t need to think much to know that it was definitely Xian Yu.

Then, Qin Huan’s voice sounded like he had snatched the phone back. “I called to ask you if you’ve thought about your contract.”

Speaking of the relationship between Ning Xiunian and Qin Huan, they could be considered old friends. Hence, when they found out that Ning Xiunian’s contract had expired recently, they became much more worried.

He had opened his own studio and was relatively free now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to go to variety shows so easily previously.

“You don’t have to worry.” Ning Xiunian’s tone was light. “I just finished talking with a good company today. Perhaps I’ll go to this one.”

“Which company?”

“You know it too. It’s called CG.”

Almost as soon as he said the company name, Qin Huan thought of Murong Qiao.

Xian Yu, who was sitting beside Qin Huan, naturally heard it too. “CG?”

“Don’t tell me you’re talking about Murong Qiao’s CG!” Xian Yu leaned over the phone and asked.

Ning Xiunian was all smiles. “Of course, Little Xian Yu.”

“The conditions she offered me are better than most companies…”

Xian Yu didn’t pay attention to the rest of the sentence. When he heard that the other party was going to his Little Sister’s company, Xian Yu couldn’t hold it in anymore and called Murong Qiao.

Unfortunately, the other party’s line was busy. Other than the beeping sound, there was no more movement. Xian Yu called twice but there was no response.

She was probably busy now.

However, when Xian Yu thought about how Ning Xiunian could go to his Little Sister’s company, he couldn’t sit still and started sending messages again.

[My contract will expire soon too. Qiaoqiao, are you going to consider signing me?]

[Moreover, Ning Xiunian and I are in different fields. There’s no conflict!]

[How about it, Qiaoqiao?]

[With my current strength, you will definitely make a profit. Moreover, I still have so many fans—]

Xian Yu analyzed the situation and wished his contract could expire now and go to CG.

Although Qin Huan was not as obvious as Xian Yu, his thoughts wandered after hearing Ning Xiunian’s words.

There was indeed no point in staying in the same studio for too long…

On the other hand, they might encounter something more interesting if they went to CG. Why don’t he talk to the studio soon? Or talk to Murong Qiao first…

On the other end of the line, Ning Xiunian was still making small talk with Qin Huan about the recent events. In the end, the three of them were all thinking about going to CG.

Murong Qiao didn’t know that she had triggered the butterfly effect from talking to Ning Xiunian.

After bidding farewell to Ning Xiunian, she went straight to the next meeting, planning to contact another partner.

However, as if fate had arrived, the person she had clearly seen not long ago suddenly appeared in front of her today.

Murong Qiao was about to enter the private room with her partner to discuss the details of the cooperation when she saw the private room next door suddenly pushed open from the inside and Cen Qianmo walked out.

“Happy cooperating… Young Miss Murong?” The moment Cen Qianmo felt her gaze, he turned around and locked onto the source.

Cen Qianmo bade farewell to the man just now and walked over. “Looks like you’re here to discuss cooperation too?”

“Mr. Cen!” Before Murong Qiao could greet him, the representative of the collaboration with CG spoke first.

The partner representative looked at Cen Qianmo in surprise. “I didn’t expect to be so lucky to meet you here…”

“I was just greeting Young Miss Murong on the way.” Cen Qianmo smiled warmly.

The partner looked at Murong Qiao and then at Cen Qianmo. Then, without needing the two of them to say anything, an enlightened expression appeared on his face.

“I understand, I understand!”
