Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

Both Du Juan and Jin Xin started seriously scrutinizing the contract and were surprised by how much the contract exceeded their expectations.

If Jinxin didn’t recognize the official seal of the Jing Entertainment Group from his experience working with them in the past, he would suspect it a fraud.

No entertainment company would offer such a good contract to newbies.

In fact, even lead actresses who’d won awards might not be offered such fine terms.

“Why would Jing Entertainment Group offer a contract like this when Ye Tianxin already made it clear that it’d be impossible for her to develop her career in the entertainment industry in the future? Wouldn’t it be a loss-making deal?” they wondered.

“There’s nothing wrong with the contract. You can sign it!” Du Juan assured her, and handed the contract back to Ye Tianxin.

“But if you’ve made up your mind to sign it, I’d better be there with you when you do,” she noted.

Ye Tianxin heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “Mom, before I thought it was a scam. After all, I’m a newbie, so why would they offer me such good terms?”

Du Juan smiled and said, “Maybe they came to know that you’re about to star in Director Jin’s movie. After all, Director Jin is an internationally acclaimed director!”

Jin Xin laughed heartily and replied, “Du Juan, you’re too kind, but it must be because of Tianxin’s potential. I think Jing Entertainment Group sees potential in her, which is why they offered her the contract. Congratulations, Tianxin.”

“Thank you, Uncle Jin,” Tianxin said, overwhelmed with joy.

“The contract should be fine since both Mother Du Juan and Director Jin Xin said so. There’s nothing for me to lose by signing it. In fact, I’d stand to gain by signing it,” Ye Tianxin decided.

As it was a rare opportunity for the screenwriter, director, and female lead to get together, the trio made use of the opportunity to discuss the script.

Du Juan had written “The Red Cherry,” and, because she’d poured her heart and soul into writing it, she naturally hoped that the movie would arouse a favorable response from its audience.

Furthermore, as the cost of filming it had nearly made Jin Xin and Du Juan go bankrupt, they naturally felt the most pressure for the film to perform well.

The trio became so engrossed in discussing the script that they would’ve kept on talking if the caretaker hadn’t entered the ward to serve them dinner.

Du Juan and Jin Xin left shortly after dinner, for they were both busy and had only managed to make a little bit of time to visit Ye Tianxin’s grandmother in the hospital.

Du Juan sat in the passenger’s seat while Jin Xin drove the sedan. She then elegantly took out a long, thin cigarette from her bag and placed it between her red lips before lighting it. Her delicate brows scrunched into a worried frown, for the tea had reminded her of Li Qingcang’s identity.

“Jin Xin, I heard something about Jing Zhichen, who started the Jing Entertainment Group,” she remarked.

Jin Xin continued to navigate the car as he asked, “Are you worried about Tianxin?”

“Yes. She’s an adorable but simple-minded child. I’ll be quite happy if she chooses not to enter the entertainment industry. But…” she hesitated. “I’m a little concerned about Mr. Li…”

“Nothing good will come out of their relationship if they aren’t compatible from the outset. He could leave her anytime and start a new family, but it’ll be hard for her to move on, and she’ll wallow in misery for a long time after,” she thought.

“Judging from Mr. Li’s behavior, I doubt that he’s such a person. The Jing Entertainment Group probably offered Tianxin such favorable terms because of him. Besides, they only offered her the contract after he left. They probably did it to prevent tongues from wagging. Ye Tianxin is such a blessed girl!” Jin Xin replied.
