Chapter 850: Chapter 841: Mysterious Guest (3)

Before, every time Xia Siyu was about to sign a contract, various things would prevent it from happening. Qin Baizhou thought about it and decided to have Zhou Weiwei come over to help mediate.

Although Wang Zisu was young, he had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had good judgment. He smiled and said, “Then, Sister Siyu, I’ll see you again tomorrow. I’ll still need to rely on your assistance on set.”

Xia Siyu nodded with a smile and told him to leave, adding, “Let’s talk back at the hotel.”

After speaking, she headed to the elevator first and complained to Wei Jingjing, “Filming today was really exhausting. Tomorrow we still have to do wire stunts.”

Wei Jingjing looked embarrassed; she could feel that Xia Siyu was intentionally or unintentionally distancing herself from Qin Baizhou and Zhou Weiwei.

That’s just the way she was, her feelings always plainly written on her face. These two were once her closest friends, and they would be her colleagues in the future. She didn’t want to fall out with them, but she also didn’t know how to continue pretending she was oblivious and heartlessly interact with them, so she chose to distance herself.

Normal people would still feign enthusiasm; she couldn’t.

When they all arrived at her room, Xia Siyu politely asked Wei Jingjing to pour water for them, then turned and asked, “Is something the matter?”

Qin Baizhou smiled, “If you were me, in this current situation, could I still discuss matters properly?”

Xia Siyu asked, “Do I need to cooperate with filming tomorrow?”

Zhou Weiwei spoke up, “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, so I came to visit you. I’m also at Huixing now, so we’ll be colleagues under the same company. Brother Qin has been very nice to me, all thanks to you. He said you asked him to look after me.”

Xia Siyu nodded, “Well, as long as you’re fine.”

There was some estrangement and awkwardness.

Qin Baizhou said, “The reason I came this time, you probably know. It’s about your contract.”

Xia Siyu nodded, “Let me see the contract.”

Qin Baizhou didn’t beat around the bush and handed her the contract directly. Unlike last time, there was no shareholding agreement; Xia Siyu, leaning forward, carefully read it, ignoring the initial parts about indemnity and proportions, heading straight to the performance clauses at the end.

Indeed, the content about cooperating with the company’s shootings from the previous contract was gone; in choosing projects, she was granted the greatest freedom. As for publicity, there was no absolute obligation to cooperate fully with the company’s promotional activities, but it was noted: align with the company’s major developments.

Qin Baizhou explained, “I’ve tried my best to speak on your behalf. After all, you’re also part of the company, and there are times you’ll need to stand from the company’s perspective. However, you don’t have to maintain promotional contact with the company all the time, ensuring your autonomy to the greatest extent. Actually, this contract essentially equates to having an independent studio, just affiliated with our company.”

Xia Siyu carefully reviewed the contract again, not finding much issue. She actually enjoyed her previous years at Huixing and had no intention of leaving. The previous reluctance to sign was due to her desire not to shoot any more low-quality variety shows or fast money-making films; she wanted to focus on making good movies.

Since Qin Baizhou was now offering her this freedom, she had no objections, “No problem.”

She then turned to Wei Jingjing, “Where’s the pen?”

As she was ready to sign, Qin Baizhou was delighted. Wei Jingjing turned around, “Sorry, there’s no pen, and we need to photocopy your ID card too. We also don’t have a printer here.”

Xia Siyu nodded, “Then let’s do it tomorrow. After signing, just bring the copied ID directly.”
