Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Legacy Petty

Yusuf and Sara Zuck got stuck in traffic. It was already past nine in the morning, but it seemed as if the Christmas revelry had not ended. The congestion in front of them stretched on endlessly, and according to the news from the taxi radio, there had been a traffic accident up ahead.

The snow had just fallen, so a traffic accident was sure to cause congestion!

"Brother, it’s almost ten to ten." Yusuf reminded Sara, "Should we get out and walk forward?"

"No need, just wait, it’s okay." Yusuf squinted his eyes. Although he didn’t want Sara to make a bad impression on others, it was Ice Sky Snow Land outside, and they weren’t dressed warmly, so how could they walk forward?

It was jammed, they could only wait. Of course, he also took out his phone to call Alvin Petty.

"Have you met Legacy yet? Legacy is your third brother’s youngest son. He is the one leading the team over this time, just leave everything to him," Alvin spoke directly as soon as the call connected, clarifying that the Legacy Petty he was in contact with was his nephew.

"Second brother, I have a problem," Yusuf said with a wry smile: "I had arranged to meet Legacy and his team at ten, but I’m stuck in traffic. It has snowed in the capital, and there’s been a traffic accident up ahead, so I’m afraid I’m going to be late. Will that be okay? Is it going to make a bad impression? Will they decide not to sign my sister then?"

"Then let them wait. Almost all major stars are usually late, you’ve done well in that respect!" Alvin laughed over the phone.

"Pfft—" Yusuf almost spat out his drink. He wasn’t intentionally being late.

"Don’t worry, the people Legacy brought with him all work for me. What does it matter whether you are late? Even if you’re half a month late, they would still have to wait there for you!" Alvin gave Yusuf a peace of mind.

"It wasn’t someone you found through connections?" Yusuf asked in surprise.

"What connections? Yue Le has shares in Emperor Entertainment, they are major shareholders. The Petty Family invested in the entertainment industry a long time ago. Don’t worry about it," Alvin reassured.

"Alright then, I’m relieved. But really, I wasn’t deliberately late today!"

"It’s fine." Alvin laughed and hung up.

Meanwhile, the signing team from Hong Kong arrived at the New Century Hotel and settled into the hotel’s business meeting room.

The person leading the team was Legacy Petty, Edison Petty’s youngest son. His true identity was also the deputy general manager of Emperor Entertainment. It was well known that the general manager of Emperor Entertainment was Mr. Santana Meskill, often absent from the company due to his advanced age.

As deputy general manager, Legacy was in charge of handling all the company’s affairs, big and small.

Accompanying Legacy were the company’s contract lawyers, the executive director, the head of the agency team, as well as Carl Trujillo, one of Hong Kong’s top agents.

In terms of the production team, there were director Alessandra Murray, assistant director Vergil Watts, screenwriter Ai Ke, and others.

"Mr. Petty, it’s already ten o’clock!" someone reminded Legacy that the time had come, yet the other party was nowhere to be seen.

They had come from far and were all present, but the artist meant to sign the contract hadn’t arrived? What was going on?

Everyone looked towards Legacy Petty.

Legacy was young, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He said with a smile, "You all might be wondering why we rushed to the Mainland so hastily to sign a newcomer who hasn’t even entered the industry, and also to have this newcomer star in our upcoming production."

"Yes, why is that?" everyone nodded and asked.

"There’s no ’why,’ and nobody should ask why because Mr. Yang and I have decided that we’re going to fully promote this newcomer in the coming period. All you need to do is follow the company’s instructions!"

"Heh, President Petty, may I ask what her background is? Is she the child of some high official from the Mainland?" Many people laughed, knowing that if the company executives decided to promote a newcomer, there must be a reason.

"She is not the child of a high official or a wealthy family, just an ordinary person’s child. As for why, as I’ve said, don’t ask why!"

"What if she has no acting talent or isn’t suitable for the female lead role in the script?" Alessandra Murray frowned as he spoke.

"Then we’ll have to trouble Uncle Alessandra to give her more guidance. I believe in you, Uncle Alessandra."

"Working for you capitalists is really exhausting..." Alessandra Murray couldn’t help but laugh and cry at Petty Family’s implication—that even if the newcomer were a pig, they would still make this pig the female lead!

"But speaking of which, I haven’t even seen what she looks like yet. If she’s too ugly and really doesn’t fit the role, that’s going to be a problem for me too..." Legacy Petty joked.

"Hahaha..." Everyone was amused by Legacy Petty’s joke.

"Knock, knock, knock~" At that moment, the conference room door was knocked, and everyone instantly fell silent and took their seats.

Yusuf Zuck arrived with Sara Zuck, fifteen minutes late.

When Legacy Petty saw Yusuf Zuck entering with Sara Zuck, he immediately went up to greet them with great respect. He had met Yusuf Zuck once before and even threatened him at that time!

"Mr. Zuck, you’ve arrived!" Legacy Petty extended both hands to shake hands with Yusuf Zuck, displaying extreme courtesy.

"So, you are Legacy Petty, we’ve met before." Yusuf Zuck also remembered him at once—when he treated Alvin Petty, Legacy Petty had threatened him the most and had looked at him with the greatest malice, so he left a strong impression.

"Yes, at that time, I was naive, and afterwards, my dad gave me a scolding and nearly broke my legs. That’s why now I’ve personally come over and can finally have a proper talk with you!" Legacy Petty was very good at cozying up and speaking diplomatically.

"Then, I’ll leave it to you. This is my sister, Sara Zuck. She’s a first-year acting student at the Beijing Film Academy." Yusuf Zuck introduced Sara Zuck.

Legacy Petty had actually noticed Sara Zuck earlier, his eyes immediately sparkling. Alessandra Murray and the others also lit up at the sight of her.

This young girl, not very old, was pure and cute, tall and beautiful—far from a pig. She was even more beautiful than the Heavenly Immortal, and Mainland was indeed a place teeming with beauties.

Alessandra Murray was instantly captivated; she was much prettier than the female lead the company had previously arranged, and matched the role much better.

"Miss Zuck, hello, my name is Legacy Petty. Your brother Mr. Yusuf Zuck is a very impressive man. I’ve brought relevant personnel from Emperor Entertainment over this time, mainly to see if you would like to sign with our company. Of course, the details of the contract will be informed to you by our lawyer later."

"I listen to my brother." Sara Zuck playfully hugged Yusuf Zuck’s arm.

"Then I’ll listen to your brother too. Let’s sit down now, and we’ll go through three items for the signing." Legacy Petty invited Yusuf Zuck to sit, without bothering to introduce others as he was in charge.

Of course, now everyone was curious about who Yusuf Zuck was, to make Legacy Petty so respectful and friendly towards him.

It was well-known that Legacy Petty had a terrible temper and had ties with many groups in Hong Kong, a well-connected socialite whom many felt obligated to give face.

After both parties sat down, Legacy Petty spoke up again, "Lawyer Wu, please read out the details of the signing."
