Chapter 921 - 919: Ji Family Men Are All Devoted Lovers (Part 1)
Immediately, she dashed over to massage Tian Fang’s back, "Sis, Brother Zhihao might be working overtime," Si Han thought to herself cursing Brother Zhihao, yet she still spoke up on his behalf."Nonsense, he’s not working overtime. He thinks we’re an old married couple and that there’s no need for a phone call!"
Tian Fang knew Yin Zhihao well, and for a moment, Nuonuo didn’t know how to comfort Tian Fang. After all, in matters of the heart, how could she compare with Tian Fang’s experience?
"Ah, it’s you and Da Bao that people envy... you’ve been apart for less than a day, and you miss him terribly. Nuonuo, you really should cherish what you have. A man like Mr. Ji, who is handsome, wealthy, smart, capable, and attentive, but most importantly loyal, is really rare in this world! You’re truly lucky. Brother Zhihao mentioned that you’re Mr. Ji’s first love, right?"
When asked about her love life, the young girl blushed a deep shade of red.
Being teased face-to-face like this, the young girl didn’t know where to put her hands and feet, giving Tian Fang a half-angry, half-annoyed glare, "Sis, aren’t you just asking the obvious?"
Da Bao and Zhihao have been best friends since middle school, and no one knows Da Bao’s past love history better than Zhihao and Wei Qi.
Tian Fang pulled Nuonuo onto the bed, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the bed and started chatting.
"I’ve heard about it from Zhihao, but it always seemed so unreal. Think about it, Mr. Ji has such excellent qualities. He’s exceptional in looks, character, background, and personality. A perfect man like that is rare nationwide, isn’t it? And he’s so devoted and passionate. If I didn’t know you guys, I wouldn’t believe such a man existed. But from what I hear Zhihao say, the men of the Ji Family all seem to be devoted, right?"
Nuonuo nodded with a look of revelation, "Yeah, my daddy has only ever loved my mommy."
The Ji Family’s president and his wife had a sweet marriage spanning over twenty years, admired by many and envied by many. In the eyes of someone in showbiz like Tian Fang, such dedicated and perfect marriages and love stories are like fairy tales.
If it weren’t for knowing the Ji Family through Zhihao, she would have always thought the happy and fulfilling love stories reported in financial news and interviews about the Ji Family’s president and his wife were just sensational fabrications and not real-life stories.
Little did she realize, the model couple from the Ji Family was even more affectionate and dedicated than reported.
Perhaps because of their parents’ influence, the young couple, Da Bao and Nuonuo, seemed just as romantic and devoted as their parents.
"I guess I must have saved the entire universe in a past life to have met my brother,"
Nuonuo often sighed about how fortunate she was to have met her brother when she narrowly escaped death.
...
Early the next morning, the film crew flew in large numbers from B City to another city for promotions. The enthusiasm of the fans showed no signs of waning. The promotional events at major chain cinemas were exceptionally lively, seeming to exceed the expectations of the media and Director Sun.
Upon arriving at the third cinema, the related staff were still checking in at the front desk, while the film crew sat in the backstage dressing room, some touching up their makeup, others chatting idly.
Si Han had naturally good skin, and the makeup artist didn’t need to do much to her complexion or makeup. So while the other actors were touching up, Si Han sat with Director Sun and Tian Fang, drinking coffee.
"I went home last night and thought about it for a long time. I finally understood something,"
Director Sun held his coffee, looking thoughtfully serious.
Si Han and Tian Fang exchanged glances and simultaneously asked, "What is it?"
"I always found it strange yesterday why you kept refusing the box office bonus I wanted to give you?"
"Yeah, and then?" Nuonuo was genuinely curious about what this talented but eccentric director, older than her father, had figured out after a night’s thinking.
"The investors of Spring are only two: one is your daddy, Mr. Ji, and the other is your company, Xinying Entertainment. If this movie becomes a box office hit, it’s your family that’s making all the money! The little bonus I’m offering you is nothing to you, right?"
It was true that Si Han didn’t care about the modest bonus, but the rest wasn’t accurate, "Director Sun, you’re mistaken. My daddy only invested thirty percent. The remaining seventy percent is from our company. But even if the company makes money, I haven’t heard of any plans to give me a profit share or bonus?"
Si Han turned to Tian Fang while speaking, "Sis, am I wrong? I don’t think the company ever mentioned giving me any bonus or anything?"
Tian Fang momentarily froze, then quickly caught on, "Yeah, they didn’t mention it. But don’t worry, Little Ancestor, if the box office is good, I’ll push the company to give you a big bonus!"
Tian Fang spoke with such conviction, she almost banged her chest in assurance to Si Han.
Si Han chuckled and shook her head, "Sis, bonuses aren’t important to me. The company took a big risk signing me. If the box office is a success, the profit is rightly the company’s.
Tian Fang playfully patted her on the head, "You’re so naive! If the company does offer you a bonus, it means they value you and want to keep you around. You know, no matter how good a horse is, to keep it running fast, you must constantly feed it good fodder. Even if the boss gives you a bonus, it’s just to keep you happily earning money for the company. You still need to maintain your stance and demeanor! No matter what, you’re the lead at Xinying Entertainment, get it?!"
Tian Fang’s teachings elicited a series of nods from Director Sun, "Girl, Ah Fang’s right. Not maintaining your authority might make you seem approachable, but it could also lead others to think that you’re easy to take advantage of. Since you’re the lead at your company, you should maintain that image, making Ah Fang proud as your agent."
Si Han nodded earnestly, "I understand. If the company does end up giving me a bonus, I’ll accept it graciously, and then take the entire crew for a lavish meal!"
Tian Fang laughed, "Yeah, that’s more like it! If you don’t take it, others won’t say you don’t care about money; they’ll just think you’re pretentious. As long as you feel your contributions warrant the reward, accept it generously, understand?"
Si Han tilted her head, contemplated a bit, then playfully blinked and smiled at Director Sun, "So, Director Sun, do you think my performance and efforts are worth it?"
Director Sun snorted, "You little kid..." but his face couldn’t hide a smile, "I won’t say if it’s worth it, but as long as my script suits you, you’ll always be my top choice for the female lead."
