Contracted

"Uncle Zenghao, don't drag me into this. What could this girl help me out with?" he looked at her in disgust once again. All the first impression of the kind girl he had met back in the foreign country had gone whoosh into the air in one day.

Chen Waan met his eyes confidently, like his remark did not make any difference to her. Rather, she was challenging him subtly. She just wanted to know what value she could provide to the company and what she could learn. Nothing else mattered to her.

She was not against the idea of working for this big company since the beginning. If some random stranger was taking this much pain for her, then he or she might have seen something in her. That was a separate issue that this man who had suddenly put so much trust in her was her mother's killer.

She was not going to put her trust in this man. She had to unveil his hidden mask beneath. But she would also carve her own path, even if it meant being in the entertainment industry.

She would use this man's resources to reach the top of the world and then stab him in the back. That would be the perfect revenge!

Thinking till here, a vicious light passed through her eyes. She tilted her head so no one would notice her thought train.

Wang Zenghao sighed once again. "Fine, I know this is very unconventional, something that has never been done. That's why I want to take the chance. There are very few chances that it will really harm Mo Yifan. But if it succeeds, then this never done before thing will be owned by us."

"But are you sure it will work?" Wang Zibo was still not convinced. This was sure way to shoot themselves in foot.

"My thirty years of experience in this industry says it will work. Plus, would it not be easier for you Fan Fan to be associated with just one girl? All those lasses who want to create scandal with you and ride on your coattails, they will be easily dispelled like this," Director Wang addressed Mo Yifan, the one who would be affected the most by this experimental project.

The offer sounded very tempting. Mo Yifan's ears had perked up instantly after he heard the last benefit. He had been troubled with so many ambushes lately by girls, that he had just stopped believing any female around.

"With his international recognition, I do want to make him venture out in different countries and cultures. One dedicated teacher to teach you basics of each language would be great. Of course, she is of your age and can tackle questions on your behalf. And it would be much easier to use elements from those very countries without raising any controversy. Do you understand? It's all benefits for you my child," Director Wang continued persuading both his son and Mo Yifan.

From his speech, it felt like there was nothing in there for Chen Waan and he could easily throw her away if another female of such caliber came forward. That meant she still had to make her own place, and that's what she intended to do.

"Fine, I will join your company," Chen Waan announced, much to chagrin of Wang Zibo and Mo Yifan. They did not even get the time to persuade her otherwise.

Wang Zenghao immediately lit up with happiness, but when he saw her face still contemplating something, his heart became full of dread. Obviously, she had not stated her own conditions.

"But?" he asked.

"Yes, I need to get this contract modified. First, no plastic surgery. I won't change my face no matter what," she demanded.

But Wang Zenghao had already pictured her new face. She was not really bad looking but her face did not suit the idol industry.

"Here Mr. Wang, don't be evaluating my face like that. If you cannot accept this condition, I am out. I need it printed in my contract," she forced her condition once again. "I am very confident about my face. The two times you have seen me is when I was very tired. And then, don't you have make-up experts?"

"Fine, fine. Don't be talking about pulling out. What else?"

"I would like to modify this clause here which states that I will be living under one roof with him. That is a bit…," she hesitated and let the sentence trail off without completing.

"I also object to it. My contract does not say anything about sharing the house with a female," Mo Yifan finally agreed on one thing with the girl.

"That I cannot change. For you guys to be a duo, you guys need chemistry. That will only come if you both are living together. Take it or leave it," Wang Zenghao looked at both of them with dissatisfaction. He was confident it would sell, but these guys did not want to work towards it.

"Fine, I had thought as much. It's okay, it's not like I have not shared house with guys," Chen Waan shrugged.

"You… where is my consent?" Mo Yifan asked Wang Zenghao.

"Go read your contract once again. If it is for your career, the company can do anything. Now, Mr. Fan, go get this condition of hers added immediately. We will sign right here right now," Wang Zenghao finally relaxed and sat down on the sofa. It was an easy win. Mo Yifan glared at them both with hatred in eyes. What was this old fox scheming? Had he gotten bored with his progress? He needed to talk with this old man privately.

In half an hour, Mr. Fan brought the amended contract back. Chen Waan went through the whole document again. Within an hour, she was now an employee of WhirlWind Entertainment.

"Congratulations Ms. Chen. I will take care of your bank accounts and everything from here on," Mr. Fan took the copies of the contract and secured them in an envelope. He gladly handed over one copy to Chen Waan and kept the other one himself.

"Now, pack your bags, we are shifting right away," Wang Zenghao started to move out of the room. Mo Yifan and Wang Zibo were standing at the back, dumbfounded. Their lives were about to change forever.
