Accidental Mark

[Accidental Mark Chapter 12]

The next day, Cheng Xia set the alarm clock for [-] o'clock in the morning, got up, washed and ate quickly, and carefully arranged her clothes in front of the mirror.

The jeans his mother picked out for him fit perfectly. They were paired with a camel cashmere sweater and a white down jacket. Although this kind of dress is not particularly brilliant in the cold winter, it can never go wrong.

After Cheng Xia got dressed, Jiang Qiong found another scarf and handed it to him: "The temperature is cooling these few days, put on the scarf. By the way, it's not easy to take a taxi during rush hour..." She turned her head and shouted towards the kitchen: " Old Cheng, why don't you drive your son there?"

Cheng Yiming poked his head out: "Okay, I'm idle anyway."

Cheng Xia put on the scarf and said, "Mom, I have an appointment with my manager at 08:30, and there is still more than an hour left, so there is no need to deliver..."

Cheng Yiming wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen, looked his son up and down, and said seriously: "You are just a little transparent now, and you don't have a nanny car. Dad will be your driver himself today. Let's go, go there early, don't be late."

Cheng Xia had no choice but to obediently follow him out.

Just leaning over to change shoes, Jiang Qiong suddenly asked: "By the way, Xia Xia, I packed the down jacket, when will you return it to the senior?"

Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat—the down jacket belongs to Boss Pei, and he will see Boss Pei today, but he can't return the clothes to the boss in front of so many people in the company, and he will definitely gossip if he is seen.The down jacket has to be returned privately. If it's really inconvenient, then I can ask Mr. Pei for an address and send it by courier?Thinking of this, Cheng Xia said, "Mom, please put it away for me first, and I'll ask the senior when I want it."

Jiang Qiong glanced at the special trademark on the collar of the down jacket. This brand is an international first-line designer brand and is very valuable. Of course, children from rich families are not uncommon among film school students. However, such expensive clothes are casually lent to Cheng Cheng. Does Xia Chuan really just treat Cheng Xia "as a younger brother"?

Jiang Qiong always felt that something was wrong, but she did not expose her son, and silently put away the down jacket.

Cheng Yiming took his son and drove to Tianxuan Building.

It was snowing and the road was slippery, so he drove slowly. It was already past eight o'clock when he arrived at the company. Cheng Xia got out of the car and waved goodbye to his father. A black car just happened to drive by.Cheng Xia turned her back to the side of the road and didn't notice that it was Mr. Pei's car.

However, Pei Shaoze saw the boy standing in the snow at a glance.

The boy was wearing a white down jacket and black jeans, with a smile on his face, waving to the driver in an off-road vehicle.The other party lowered the car window and warned: "If you are wronged in the company, you must tell Dad when you get home!"

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "Understood, Dad, you can go back, drive slowly on the road!"

Pei Shaoze saw the side face of the driver from the rolled down window. The middle-aged man had tough features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very serious—is this Cheng Xia's father, Cheng Yiming?

In the original book, Cheng Yiming was pissed off to death. He loved Cheng Xia very much. His son who had finally been raised was abused and bullied. Nude photos were spread all over the Internet. Abusive letters from netizens were even sent to his home... Self-blame, guilt, pain , let this upright father get sick, and let Cheng Xia completely blacken under the sadness.

Seeing Cheng Xia's bright smile when he said goodbye to his father, Pei Shaoze became more determined to protect this boy.

Not only Cheng Xia, but also Cheng Xia's family.

He didn't want Cheng Xia's father to die in guilt, and he didn't want Cheng Xia's mother to die of illness in despair.Now that you know the plot of the original book, make arrangements in advance to prevent all bad things from happening.

Pei Shaoze withdrew his gaze, didn't bother Cheng Xia to say goodbye to his father, and drove around in his car.

At the same time, Zhou Yan received a message from Cheng Xia and went downstairs to pick him up.

Seeing the young man waiting at the entrance of the company, Zhou Yan couldn't help being stunned—there were many photos of Cheng Xia in the information Mr. Pei gave her before, and it was the first time seeing a real person up close today, and she thought Cheng Xia was much prettier than the photos up.

There is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but Cheng Xia gives people a very special feeling. His handsomeness is not aggressive, nor does he have that sense of alienation that is out of reach.The young man is so handsome, especially when he smiles, that pure and bright smile can melt all barriers in the heart, like a little sun, making people feel warm and kind.

The first impression is really important, the first time she saw Cheng Xia, she thought - this kid can be popular!

No wonder the company's scouts signed Cheng Xia, apparently attracted by Cheng Xia's outstanding appearance.

Cheng Xia is also sizing up the person in front of him—he is nearly 1.7 meters tall, thin, with fair skin, short hair around the ears, wearing a knee-length black coat, and high leather boots, the hem of the coat flutters in the wind when walking Feiwu, heroic, looks like the kind of woman who handles things very neatly.

Seeing the woman sizing him up, Cheng Xia tentatively asked, "Sister Yan?"

A smile immediately appeared on Zhou Yan's face: "Hello, Cheng Xia, I'm very glad to be your manager." She offered her hand, and Cheng Xia shook hands with her politely: "I will invite Sister Yan again in the future." Take care of me!"

"Let's take care of each other, happy cooperation." Zhou Yan withdrew his hand, without much nonsense, and led him into Tianxuan Building: "The legal department is on the 11th floor, I have already greeted there, let's go to see the contract first. "

Cheng Xia followed her and took the elevator to the legal department on the 11th floor.

Zhang Fan was waiting at the door of the office. When he saw them, he took the initiative to meet them: "Sister Yan, is this Cheng Xia? Boss Pei asked me to pick you up. After signing the contract, go to the office to find him."

Zhou Yan said politely: "Assistant Zhang has worked hard."

Cheng Xia was brought into the office.The heater was turned on in the company, and he was so hot that he took off his down jacket, and Zhou Yan took his clothes smoothly.Cheng Xiachao smiled at her manager's sister, Zhou Yan smiled back and said, "Read the contract carefully, and ask me if you don't understand."

The people from the legal department quickly brought over the printed contract.

Cheng Xia sat in the rest area, flipping through the pages carefully, but Zhou Yan didn't urge him.

After reading for a while, he suddenly pointed to one of the pages: "Sister Yan, I don't quite understand the division here..."

Zhou Yan followed his fingers to look over, and explained carefully: "This is the contract that Mr. Pei asked the legal affairs to revise. The shooting process is very hard, so you take the lead. Other projects, such as commercial performances, advertisements, print magazine promotions, etc., the company contributes more, so the company gets [-]% and you get [-]%. When you become famous in the future, you will share the proportion It can also be improved step by step.”

The new version of the contract does not fix the share, but stipulates that a supplementary agreement should be signed every other year.Eighty-nine for film and television, and forty-six for others are the ratios for newcomers.As artists become more and more popular and famous, the share they get will also increase accordingly.If you are not satisfied with the share, you can renegotiate with the company every other year.In this way, those famous stars will not change jobs because of "unfair treatment", and newcomers will have a stronger sense of belonging to Tianxuan.

Mr. Pei's new version of the contract, which was revised by the legal affairs officer, is very flexible and humane. It is much better than the previous contract that was signed for eight or ten years and stipulated a dead share.

Cheng Xia carefully read the contract: "I have no objection."

Zhou Yan confirmed: "The five-year signing date, is there no problem with the time?"

Cheng Xia shook her head: "No. It takes time to cultivate an artist, and five years is not a long period."

Zhou Yan smiled: "If there is no problem, then sign it. After signing, copy the ID card, and we will get the contract to ask Mr. Pei to sign. He is now your top leader."

***

Zhou Yan took Cheng Xia and took the VIP elevator with Zhang Fan to the top floor.

Zhang Fan knocked lightly on the door, and a man's deep voice sounded in his ear: "Come in."

Cheng Xia took a deep breath and followed the manager into the office.

Pei Shaoze was reading documents at his desk, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.

Cheng Xia's eyes caught off guard into a pair of familiar eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Cheng Xia couldn't help being stunned——

Alpha sitting in the office was wearing a formal dark gray suit, a white shirt buttoned to the top, and a standard Windsor tie.The bangs were combed up, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of beautiful sword eyebrows.

Alpha's appearance was already handsome, and this hairstyle made the lines of his entire face look sharper and tougher, a bit less playful and playful, but a bit more stable and mature.Coupled with the decoration of a suit and tie, the Alpha in front of him is full of inviolable abstinence.

Compared with the first time we met, Pei Shaoze who was sitting in the office today had a strong aura, and Cheng Xia didn't dare to approach him for a while.

Zhou Yan took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Pei, I brought Cheng Xia." She turned her head to look at Cheng Xia, "This is Mr. Pei." She motioned Cheng Xia to say hello with her eyes.

Cheng Xia and Pei Shaoze had met each other a long time ago, and it was a very bad meeting when they were naked and their pheromones were out of control.

Thinking of the scene of that night, Cheng Xia felt a little guilty, but she still took a step forward and asked obediently, "President Pei."

Seeing the boy tense up as if being called by a teacher, Pei Shaoze raised the corners of his lips, and his voice was rarely gentle: "Don't be nervous. Come here, sit down and talk."

Cheng Xia had no choice but to go over and sit down on the sofa.

Zhou Yan handed the contract to Mr. Pei: "Cheng Xia's contract has already been signed."

Pei Shaoze took it and glanced at the signature on the last page.

Cheng Xia's handwriting is round and round, quite upright and cute.

Pei Shaoze asked in a low voice: "Is there anything you don't understand about the terms of the contract?"

The man cast his eyes on himself, Cheng Xia realized that he was asking himself, and hurriedly said: "No problem, Sister Yan has explained it to me in detail."

"That's good." Pei Shaoze picked up a pen, signed his name on several contracts neatly, and handed it to Zhang Fan: "Go to the legal department to get the official seal, two copies for the company's archives, one for the broker, and Cheng Xia Keep one."

Zhang Fan went to work diligently.

Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and asked, "Tianxuan has many directions for cultivating its artists, such as music, variety shows, and film and television. What do you think about the future?"

When it came to business, Cheng Xia immediately became serious and said without hesitation, "I want to be an actor."

Pei Shaoze asked, "Why?"

Cheng Xia replied seriously: "I'm not afraid of Boss Pei's jokes. Being an actor has been my dream since I was a child. My father is an actor. I grew up watching his movies. I also want to play different roles like him. Of course , I only studied in the film school for one year, so my acting skills will definitely be relatively unfamiliar, but as long as the company gives me a chance, I will definitely work hard and hone my skills!"

Sure enough, the boy's eyes lit up when he mentioned acting.

He really loves this industry.

Pei Shaoze nodded, and handed the folder that he had organized a long time ago to Zhou Yan: "This book is a very popular campus novel. Tianxuan has already won the copyright and has not had time to shoot it. You go back and ask the newcomers to carefully read it. Go through the materials, and after a while, I will make arrangements here, and then bring them to participate in the audition."

What does the boss mean by setting up a project to shoot a school drama?Did she understand correctly? !

Zhou Yan was very excited, but her years of work experience made her calm down quickly. She took a step forward and took the folder respectfully, and asked, "Mr. Pei, do the newcomers in our group have a chance in this school drama?"

"Well, the drama I personally invested in is best performed by artists from our group. Unless their performance is too bad, I will consider choosing someone from outside." Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and said calmly: "Cheng Xia, you Go back and get ready."

Cheng Xia immediately stood up and said, "I will, thank you President Pei!"

The company wants to invest in the filming of a school drama, such a good opportunity is in front of him, he must study hard when he goes back, and strive to win an important role!
