Chapter 97

"Are you okay? Do you need to call an ambulance?"

Han Caiying and Han Jiaren both looked up, and when they saw Li Huale, who was dressed in a white shirt and looked like a regular white-collar worker, they were both taken aback. Han Caiying thought this guy really looked the part.

But Han Jiaren wondered if Caiying had said something wrong? This company seemed pretty normal, right?

"No, no, I'll be fine after a rest!" Han Jiaren, embarrassed by her awkward fall, blushed and replied softly.

"Do you need any help? Or should Miss Han support this lady and go to the office together?" Li Huale asked politely. He was relieved that Han Caiying had come as scheduled.

"We don't need your help, we can manage on our own!" Han Caiying was quite unhappy with this man and was also very cautious, so she firmly rejected Li Huale.

Li Huale shrugged helplessly, then waited for Han Caiying to help Han Jiaren up, and led the two of them to the president's office.

The employees outside started to whisper. The two women were well disguised, and if you didn't get closer, you wouldn't notice anything. They were just curious why two women would come to see the president. Could it be... a typical Korean drama plot?

...

"If you really feel unwell, you can lie down. By the way, this is the contract our company has drafted. You can take a look first!" Sitting on a single sofa, Li Huale looked at the uncomfortable Han Jiaren and smiled, then handed the contract to Han Caiying.

Han Caiying took the contract and turned to Han Jiaren, asking her if she was okay. Han Jiaren shook her head, indicating that she was fine, just a bit sore.

Han Caiying sighed in relief and then focused on the contract. But when she saw the content, she was very surprised and looked at Li Huale with some astonishment.

Han Jiaren also curiously leaned over to take a look and was equally stunned.

In fact, the contract was not complicated at all. The content was simple and clear.

Han Caiying's responsibilities were to shoot an advertisement for the Colorful Happiness Company over the next two years, and the company would pay her according to her market value during the shooting period.

Additionally, the contract stated that during the shooting, there must be at least two other stars with higher popularity than Han Caiying. Otherwise, Han Caiying could terminate the contract unconditionally.

If the advertisement content violated any moral standards, Han Caiying could also terminate the contract unconditionally.

And that was it.

It was such a simple contract, effective from the date of signing and lasting for two years.

"Is there any problem?" Li Huale rubbed his nose and asked with a smile. In fact, he had no ill intentions towards Han Caiying. No matter what she thought, the threats he made over the phone were not real.

The contract was normal and had no restrictive clauses, and even the existence of the advertising fee. Han Caiying couldn't help but wonder if she had misunderstood something. It looked like there were no issues, and even someone who didn't know the law could see there were no traps.

"Are you sure this is the contract?" Han Caiying couldn't help but ask, still suspecting Li Huale had some ulterior motive.

Li Huale smiled and replied, "I'll stick to what I said before. I never thought about your problem from the beginning. It was just a spur of the moment idea. Even without this agreement, some things would still need to be done!"

Han Caiying didn't care about the truth at this moment. Such a contract couldn't deceive anyone, and she felt a bit more relaxed. She suddenly asked curiously, "Is this company yours?"

"Yep!" Li Huale simply replied, not saying much more.

Han Jiaren, standing beside her, curiously observed Li Huale. It wasn't that she had any special thoughts, but everything seemed different from what Caiying had described. When she first heard about shooting an advertisement for a small umbrella, she thought it must be a trap.

But now, looking at the company, the contract, and even the young man Caiying described as very bad, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He seemed like a regular businessman. Could Caiying have been wrong?

Of course, she just thought this. After all, there are many people who are different on the inside.

Han Caiying noticed that Li Huale was much less talkative than during their previous phone calls, which made her a bit unhappy. But she still signed her name on both copies of the contract with a pen.

As for Li Huale, he had already signed his part, of course, on behalf of the company.

"Hey!!"

"What's wrong?" Hearing Han Jiaren's sudden exclamation, Han Caiying turned her head and asked.

"Isn't he the musician Li Huale?"

...

For a moment, both Han Caiying and Li Huale were speechless. How face-blind could this woman be?

Seeing the 'strange' looks from the two of them, Han Jiaren felt a bit embarrassed, cursing herself for being so stupid. She didn't know why she had been so clumsy today. Could it be because she had been out of touch with society for too long?

Thinking about this, Han Jiaren's expression returned to normal, and she reaffirmed her determination. She should find a time to talk to him about her 'comeback' idea, which had been constantly on her mind.

Li Huale handed a copy of the contract to Han Caiying and said with a smile, "Alright, the contract is signed. Now we owe each other nothing. If the advertisement is ready to shoot, I'll contact you in advance. I think it's getting late. Would you like to have lunch together?"

"No, I hope you can start shooting the advertisement soon. I also want to see which big-name stars will participate!" Han Caiying said coldly, then pulled Han Jiaren up, preparing to leave.

Just as the two were about to reach the door, Li Huale suddenly said, "I've always enjoyed the TV dramas Miss Han Jiaren has starred in. If there's a chance, I'd like to collaborate with you!"

Han Jiaren was taken aback, not sure if it was because Li Huale recognized her or because of his words.

"Forget it. Collaborating with someone like you might get me arrested one day. Besides, my phone number won't change, but I don't want to receive any calls from you except for work!" Han Caiying said, then pulled Han Jiaren out.

Li Huale sat back on the sofa, looking at the contract with a strange expression. He wondered, how could such a strong-willed woman like Han Caiying have a friend like Han Jiaren, who seemed so out of touch? What about the director Kim Jideok, who had social anxiety and went to live in the countryside, would he be even more out of touch?

"8282 ringtone!"

The phone ringtone interrupted Li Huale's thoughts. He took out his phone, saw the number of Jiang Minjing, and smiled as he answered the call.
