Handing over the signature to Gu Zhiqi, Qiao Nan wore a gentle smile on her lips and her eyes also bore a hint of mirth as she looked at Gu Zhiqi with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Little fan, what’s your name?"
"Gu Zhiqi." Gu Zhiqi’s lips curved slightly upward, a touch of lazy, compliant smile resting there as she told Qiao Nan her name.
"Gu Zhiqi." Hearing the surname Gu, Qiao Nan’s expression flashed briefly before she murmured Gu Zhiqi’s name softly to herself, then warmly smiled and said, "I’ve remembered your name. The next time we meet, I’ll definitely be able to call you by it."
Gu Zhiqi nodded gently, giving a small nod of her head.
Qiao Nan found Gu Zhiqi’s attitude towards her somewhat strange.
This girl claimed to be her fan, but her demeanor was far too distant and formal.
Gu Zhiqi turned her head slightly, glanced at Gu Mengyang, and raised her eyebrows at him.
Receiving her look, Gu Mengyang understood that she wanted him to send the person away.
"The reason I asked you to come today is about a contract matter," he said.
As soon as Gu Mengyang spoke up, Qiao Nan immediately focused all her attention on him, and her eyes lit up a little when she heard him mention a contract.
Her agent had tried several times to negotiate an advancement in her contract with the company, but to no avail. Could it be that there was hope this time?
"Regarding your request for an advancement, I am aware of it, and it’s not an impossible matter."
The level of contract Qiao Nan sought to be uplifted to was an S level, and all contracts of S level and above in the company were personally managed by Gu Mengyang.
As Gu Mengyang’s voice died down, an inextinguishable brightness shone in the depths of Qiao Nan’s eyes.
"But there is a condition," he added.
"Just say it, President Gu," Qiao Nan straightened up and spoke earnestly.
"Although you have some popularity, you haven’t even squeezed into the frontline. It’s clearly not possible to advance your contract yet, however, I can offer you an opportunity." Gu Mengyang spoke as he handed her the scripts he had prepared in advance, "Choose from these scripts. When you break into the frontline, we can talk about advancing your contract."
A revelation of joy that couldn’t be hidden spread across Qiao Nan’s eyes, and she immediately stood up, leaning forward towards Gu Mengyang, "Thank you, President Gu."
Even without the advancement, obtaining several scripts was still a win for her.
"Mhm, go and be busy," he said.
Qiao Nan thanked him several times in succession before walking away with the scripts in her arms.
Once Qiao Nan was gone, Gu Mengyang turned his head slightly to glance at Gu Zhiqi, "Well? Is it her?"
"Is there another one?" Gu Zhiqi didn’t answer Gu Mengyang’s question, but instead asked him one of her own.
Seeing that Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond to his query, Gu Mengyang didn’t press further, and instead took out his phone to make a call to Li Xiao, "I’ll push a bit."
The call hadn’t connected when noise came from the doorway, "President Gu, you wanted to see me?"
Li Xiao walked in, holding his phone that was still ringing.
Gu Mengyang hung up the call and turned to glance at Li Xiao and asked, "Where’s Zhou Qingyan?"
"She’s already at the film city. She said she has scenes to film and refuses to come back to the company," Li Xiao reported, sneaking a furtive glance at Gu Mengyang.
Upon hearing this, Gu Mengyang furrowed his brows almost imperceptibly.
Seeing Gu Mengyang’s displeasure, Li Xiao instantly felt a surge of anxiety, "I’ll... I’ll push her again, this time, I’ll call the director."
Li Xiao, saying this, was about to call the director.
Gu Mengyang didn’t make a sound, and as Li Xiao began to search for the director’s number, Gu Zhiqi spoke up first, "No need."
With that, she stood up.
Gu Mengyang lifted his gaze, eyeing her with a questioning look.
"If she won’t come to us, we might as well go to her."
It was just a matter of taking a look anyway.
Gu Zhiqi could tell that this Zhou Qingyan had resolved not to come.
Calling her over would take just as much time as going back there; they might as well go themselves.
Hearing this, Li Xiao looked at Gu Mengyang, "President Gu?"
"I recall ’No Power Over the Wind’ has already started filming, let’s pay a visit there," Gu Mengyang said, standing up.
Seeing this, Li Xiao put away his phone.
