Vice President Li

As the elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, Shen Yue and Chen Rui stepped inside. Chen Rui pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator ascended smoothly. Shen Yue adjusted her sunglasses, her expression neutral.

"So, tell me, Chen Jie," Shen Yue said, tilting her head slightly. "What kind of person is our Big Boss?"

Chen Rui glanced at her, amusement flickering in her eyes. "You'll find out soon enough. Just be yourself, but… maybe tone down the arrogance a little."

Shen Yue scoffed playfully. "Who? Me? Arrogant? I am just confident!"

Chen Rui chuckled. "Sure, sure. Just keep that confidence in check when you meet him. He's a no-nonsense type."

Shen Yue wrinkled her face," A no-nonsense pot bellied middle aged Man, I assume."

Manager Chen burst into laughter and Shen Yue wondered what was funny.

"Shen Mei, my boss is still young. He is approaching 26.", Manager Chen clarified with a smile.

If Shen Yue was shocked, she didn't show it in her face. But it showed in her voice,"26?! Wow...I judged someone without meeting them. He must be powerful to have a very successful entertainment company at this age then."

"Actually, My boss is the vice president. We don't know who our president is", Manager Chen said.

"Is your vice president Handsome? If he is an eye candy my mood will improve", Shen Yue Said.

Who cares about an unknown president. The known one is a better option.

"He is married.", Chen Rui deadpanned.

This time Shen Yue laughed,"I just want to know if he is handsome or not. Chen Jie, what are you thinking?!"

"Sorry, your words made it easy for me to misunderstand, you brat!", Chen Rui said, smiling.

The light hearted atmosphere was cut short because the had reached their destination.

The elevator dinged, signaling their arrival. As the doors parted, a sleek modern office stretched before them. The air carried a subtle hint of cedarwood and leather, exuding power and prestige. A well-dressed secretary stood up immediately and bowed slightly.

She nodded at the both of them,"Miss Chen, Miss Shen, the Vice President is expecting you. Please proceed to the meeting room."

Chen Rui acknowledged the Secretary and proceed to the meeting room with Shen Yue in tow.

The secretary was in awe of the grace the woman behind Chen Rui had and wondered who it was.

Could it be the rumored actress to be signed?

She shook her head and went back to her post. This matter is not her concern.

In the meeting room,

At the head a dark oak Long table sat a man in his early twenties, clad in a perfectly tailored navy suit. His sharp features, neatly styled black hair, and piercing gaze gave him an air of authority.

This was the Vice President of SY Entertainment otherwise known to the public as the president of SY Entertainment.

Chen Rui sat on his left side and Shen Rui sat beside her.

Wow he really is young. And an eye candy, Shen Yue thought as she assessed her soon to be boss.

"Vice President Li," Chen Rui greeted with a professional smile. "This is Shen Yue, the actress we've discussed."

Shen Yue hearing her name, gave the man a nod. She still had her sunglasses on. She loved the way it gave her a sense of mystery.

Li Chen acknowledged Shen Yue,"Shen Yue. I've heard a lot about you."

Shen Yue smirked. "I hope it's all good things."

"That remains to be seen," he replied, handing a contract already on the table to Chen Rui . "Let's get to business."

Li Chen adjusted his seating position,"You just need to read through the terms of the contract and check if anything is unfavorable to you. We can change it on your terms, of course."

Chen Rui flipped through the contract and handed it over to Shen Yue when she was done.

Shen Yue flipped through it. Her earnings were divided into three. The company got 30 percent, Chen Rui got 20 percent and she got 50 percent.

And the duration was half a year...

Half a year?! ..

She raised her head towards Li Chen's direction wanting to disagree but thought against it.

She understood where he was coming from. He was signing an actress of unknown origins and this 6 months was her probation period. If she did well she would be given a more favorable contract.

She continued to read through contract and nodded to Chen Rui.

Li Chen seeing her nod proceeded to say, "Before we proceed, I need to confirm one thing."

Shen Yue arched a brow. "And what would that be?"

"Your commitment," he said. "We don't sign artists who lack dedication. SY Entertainment is investing in you, and I need to know you're serious about this."

Shen Yue leaned forward slightly, her eyes behind the glasses,on him. "I left everything behind for this. I didn't come back to Imperial for anything less than success. I plan to give it my all."

A flicker of approval crossed Li Chen's face before he nodded. "Then let's proceed. Sign the contract."

Shen Yue took the pen and, without hesitation, signed her name in bold, confident strokes. Chen Rui let out a quiet breath of relief. It was done.

She took the contract from Shen Yue and passed it to her boss.

Li Chen, taking the contract from Chen Rui, stood. "Welcome to SY Entertainment.I'll send your copy of the contract Later. Work hard, and I guarantee you'll go far. But remember, if you slack off, I won't hesitate to terminate the contract."

Shen Yue smirked. "I wouldn't dream of slacking."

Li Chen nodded in good spirits . "Good. You start tomorrow. Chen Rui, take her for her induction."

He said and exited the meeting room.

As Li Chen exited the meeting room, Chen Rui shot Shen Yue a look, relief evident in her voice,"Not bad, Shen Mei. You handled that well."

Shen Yue grinned. "Of course, Chen Jie. Don't you know me? I always handle stuff well."

Chen Rui rolled her eyes playfully and stood up ,"Alright, let's get you some breakfast before you faint on your first day."

Shen Yue stood up, flexing her shoulders, "That's the best thing you've said since this morning. Let's go!"
