Chapter 113: Signing the Contract (Seeking first subscriptions QAQ)
"Ishikawa Yuya?" My heart skipped a beat, and an extremely complex emotion surfaced, seemingly a mixture of disgust, confusion, and mostly bewilderment.
Why do I feel a sense of familiarity upon hearing this name? Yet, I don't feel any familiarity with his appearance.
Seeing the outstretched hand, the girl hesitated for a moment, then politely ignored it, simply nodding and saying, "Hello."
Ishikawa Yuya noticed that the girl didn't shake his hand, and sighed inwardly. It was truly a pity that he couldn't personally feel the touch of that soft hand.
"Isn't Mr. Ishikawa a Chinese?" Chu Yan, who was sitting quietly next to her sister, was a little curious when she saw him like this.
"Yes, I came to China from Japan when I was young, and now I'm practically half Chinese." He smiled politely. Next to Chu Yan, this kind of young girl really couldn't attract his attention.
"I see." Chu Yan and Chu Yan nodded simultaneously. If that was the case, then it made sense. Of course, unlike her sister's nod of understanding, Chu Yan felt a loss of familiarity.
It seems that even if I've met someone with the same name before, that person probably isn't him. There must be many differences between them, right?
She wasn't quite sure, but she didn't have a good impression of this person.
"You wanted to see me about something?" Her mother and aunt were watching from the side, wondering if Chu Yan could handle this situation herself. After all, they were the ones who would ultimately sign the papers, and they would definitely not let anything happen to Yan'er.
"Ahem, well, our Xinghua Entertainment Company is planning to sign Ms. Chu Yan as one of our artists for development. I wonder if you'd be interested?" Ye Hua looked at Chu Yan and stated his purpose.
"An artist? What obligations do I need to fulfill?" Chu Yan went straight to the point. She wanted to know if the conditions offered by Xinghua Group were as the system had described.
“Yes, she’s an artist. As for your obligation to travel…” Ye Hua paused, exchanged glances with Liu Xue and Ishikawa Yuya, and continued, “Our company’s chairman believes Ms. Chu Yan’s future is limitless. Before you become a minor, you only need to hold your concerts on time. Everything else will be arranged after we discuss it with you. You can decline anything you don’t want to do.”
"We're planning to sign you to a three-year contract, one million per year. During this period, all revenue from your concerts and related merchandise will be split 50/50 after deducting costs. How about that?"
"Everyone in our company believes that Ms. Chu Yan is capable of attracting countless fans with her singing and dancing alone, so there's no need to worry about her popularity. As for other matters, our company will not interfere. We just hope that Ms. Chu Yan can renew her contract with us again in three years. At that time, we can guarantee that the terms we offer will be even more generous, definitely the most generous among all our companies."
"You two, you're not wrong, are you?" Before Chu Yan could speak after Ye Hua finished speaking, her aunt suddenly interrupted.
She looked at Ye Hua with suspicion, clearly not believing his words. After all, was what he said really a contract for a newcomer?
"Who is your chairman?" The mother had hit the nail on the head. The reason they were offering Chu Yan these terms was clearly because of this chairman. So who was he or she?
“Ms. Li Xinghua is also the daughter of the former chairman. The company was named after her when the former chairman founded it. She owns 80% of the company's shares, and no one can go against her decisions.”
Clearly, the three of them, who were well-prepared, knew that this question would inevitably be asked, so while Ye Hua answered, he had Liu Xue take out a document from her briefcase and hand it to his mother and aunt.
The two girls knew this was a crucial question, so they didn't disturb them. After about ten minutes of careful reading, the mother breathed a sigh of relief: "I see. Regardless of whether Yan'er agrees or not, please thank Miss Li Xinghua for me when we get back."
"At only twenty-seven, she possesses such talent and courage. It's no wonder she makes any decision," my aunt remarked. She herself is a few years older than her, yet her achievements are far inferior. Calling her a modern-day extraordinary woman wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"So, Miss Chu Yan, what is your decision?" After seeing the expressions of the two elders, Ye Hua relaxed a little, but the key person in front of him still did not express his opinion.
"Okay, I agree." The system's tasks were all selected, and the conditions offered were clearly very generous. Although I had to fulfill my obligation to perform at the concert, perhaps the rewards would be even greater.
"Great! Here's the contract, please take a look." Ye Hua could barely contain his excitement upon hearing her reply. Fortunately, he had been through a lot, so he was able to control himself and immediately had Liu Xue bring out the prepared contract for Chu Yan and the others to review.
Ye Hua was mature and composed, able to maintain his composure. However, Ishikawa Yuya was only there to train and was still quite inexperienced, so his excitement was evident on his face, and his gaze towards Chu Yan was extremely fiery.
No matter what the future holds, at least she's now a member of the company, so there will be more opportunities to get close to her in the future, and I'm sure I'll be able to win her over.
With such a sharp gaze, how could Chu Yan not sense it? Her vigilance towards him increased even more, and her small hand couldn't help but grasp Chu Yan's hand beside her, trembling slightly.
Her sister's unusual behavior and the trembling of her hand gripping hers immediately drew Chu Yan's attention. She turned her eyes and glared fiercely at Ishikawa Yuya.
This man, it's his gaze that makes my sister so uneasy, she must never let him get close to her again.
"Can we let him out?" Ishikawa Yuya had seen the two girls' actions and knew he had been presumptuous. He had just looked away when he heard his aunt's words.
She looked up, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she stared at Ishikawa Yuya with considerable impatience, clearly disliking him.
"Yuya, you go out. I'll take care of these things." Ye Hua realized something from his aunt's words and told Ishikawa Yuya to leave.
"Yes." The other party was his superior, so he couldn't disobey. He could only stand up helplessly, glance at Chu Yan reluctantly, pick up his things, and leave.
"Alright, since Yan'er has made up her mind, I can't object. I'll sign this contract." After carefully reviewing it several times and finding no problems or legal loopholes, the mother took Liu Xue's pen, signed her name at the signature section, and thus launched Chu Yan onto the path of stardom.
"By the way, your company doesn't need to send an agent. I'll be Yan'er's agent." After the contract was signed, her aunt's voice came to her ears, but Chu Yan did not react.
A sudden notification from the system left her bewildered...
Chapter 114: Qiong Mei and such
"Signing successful, return mission initiated. This is the final mission, requiring you to complete nine different tasks before you can return to your own world. Mission 1: Campus Idol; Mission 2: Genius Singer; Mission 3: The Most Beautiful Girl in Five Thousand Years..."
The system gave her a very serious reply regarding the tasks. Returning to the tasks, it turned out that she needed to complete nine tasks to be officially considered done.
However, it only provides three tasks, and the first task is a multi-task set that will take a lot of time to complete.
The second task looks the same as the first task, and should correspond to this contract.
As for the third task, it's so strange. How was this "most beautiful girl in five thousand years" determined? What's the basis for it? It seems completely unsolvable.
"The second phase of the Academy Idol Project requires you to cover the song 'True Colors', upload it to Bilibili, and get at least 10 views. You cannot appear in the video; you can only use the original PV. Upon completion of the task, the Academy Idol Project's completion rate will increase by 10%, currently at 20%, and you will receive a mystery gift."
"The mystery gift has been drawn. You have received all the exquisite cosplay outfits of ten Japanese anime characters. These include Kasugano Sora (black and white cheongsam, swimsuit, white dress), Kuroyukihime (school uniform, black butterfly), Yuzuriha Inori (goldfish outfit, black feather outfit), Hatsune Miku, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Tokisaki Kurumi (spirit dress, school uniform, red cheongsam), Asuna (Knights of the Blood Oath, Elf Queen), Izayoi Sakuya, Gokou Ruri (white dress, black dress), and Mumei (all)."
"Uh... why these..." She thought the mystery gift would be something useful, but instead she was given cosplay outfits for these ten characters.
She knew what cosplay outfits were, since she had already worn Yue Zhengling's phoenix-style cheongsam when she danced to "Gokuraku Jodo" last time, so it wasn't unfamiliar to her.
But what does it mean that the system has given her ten different cosplay outfits for ten different characters? Of these ten, apart from Kasugano Sora and Yuzuriha Inori, she doesn't know who is who.
"Return Mission: Mission Four - Cosplay Ten Famous Anime Girls." As soon as she drew the cosplay outfit, the system's fourth mission appeared, making her somewhat suspicious that the mission was randomly generated.
"How could the system be the kind of person to do such a thing? Everything is within my brilliant and powerful calculations. Just follow the mission." She didn't hide her thoughts, so the system knew immediately. After giving her an answer, it fell silent.
"Okay..." No matter where the system's task came from, it gave me the task, so I just need to complete it.
However, the girl, who had been paying attention to certain things, didn't realize why she had no doubts about "returning to her own world," and even felt it was perfectly natural.
If someone else hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have been able to notice this, right?
"Hmm? Yan'er, what's wrong?" Chu Yan was in a daze. Chu Yan was looking at Li Xinghua's information and didn't notice, but her aunt and mother had been paying attention to her. When they saw that she wasn't moving, they asked her.
"Ah, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something." Her mother's words brought Chu Yan back to reality. She looked at the people around her and remained silent.
"Now that the contract is signed, we will soon help Ms. Chu Yan open a bank account specifically for her, and all her income will be transferred to that account. All income and expenditure details will also be sent to your personal email address along with the transfer. We will send you the email address as soon as we return to the company. We hope Ms. Chu Yan has a pleasant weekend. We won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
Ye Hua took back the contract, looked at it carefully, and found no problems. He immediately felt refreshed. Being able to sign this girl, whom he originally thought was impossible, was a victory even with this contract.
He was fortunate to have an acquaintance inside Sakura High School, which allowed him to obtain her address and arrive before the other company personnel.
After all, this was a proposal I made myself. The chairman overruled all objections and even further optimized the terms of the contract. If it still doesn't succeed, there's really no other way.
"Yuya, you were so rude just now. If we fail to sign the contract because of you, how are we supposed to face the chairman?" As soon as Ye Hua left Chu Yan's house and came to the parking lot, he saw Ishikawa Yuya sitting in the car and was furious.
"I'm sorry, General Manager Ye, I was just attracted to that girl." Ishikawa Yu also felt apologetic. He really couldn't help it; the girl's charm was just too amazing.
"Don't forget you're about to have a family. How can you treat your fiancée who came from Japan like this?" Ye Hua glared at him fiercely as she got into the car, her tone full of admonition.
"I... Yukino... I'm sorry." Ishikawa Yuya wanted to explain something, but seeing that Ye Hua was still angry, he didn't dare to continue.
"Even if she came out of nowhere, she's still your girlfriend of so long, and you're getting married in less than six months. Settle down." Patting his shoulder, Ye Hua said earnestly before fastening his seatbelt and starting the car.
Watching the scenery rushing past the window, Ishikawa Yuya felt a pang of sadness: "It's not that I've wronged Yukino, it's that I have no feelings for her. She doesn't like me either. If it weren't for family reasons, she would never have married her brother. You know, she's my sister, my own sister, how could we marry each other..."
Unfortunately, Yukino's identity cannot be revealed to anyone, otherwise, not only him, but Yukino herself would also be looked at with strange eyes.
If there's any way to escape this marriage, it would be to find a girl who's even better than Yukino. That would probably work, right?
The image of Chu Yan, a more outstanding young woman, immediately flashed into his mind. If we're talking about outstanding, no one could surpass her…
"They're finally gone. I guess I'll be busy from now on." Stretching, Chu Yan's eyes were full of excitement.
After reading Li Xinghua's resume, she became extremely interested in this extraordinary woman and fantasized about becoming such a woman herself in the future, which would surely be a wonderful thing.
"Of course, if Yan'er wants to do this, we'll help her. But tomorrow afternoon my sister has to go to Xinghua's place to handle some other things. For example, your studies conflict with the concert schedule, and I need to become Yan'er's manager. These things need to be sorted out. So you two just stay home obediently..."
"Yes~" Chu Yan and Chu Yan answered obediently, and then the two returned to Chu Yan's bedroom on the second floor. Chu Yan took out her homework and started working on it on the table, and also helped her sister with her homework.
Chu Yan lay on the bed, seemingly lost in thought...
P.S.: Three more chapters to go... == Looking at the current subscription numbers, reaching 500 seems really difficult~~
Chapter 115: The Young Girl Falls in Love with Her Older Sister
"With so many tasks, how long am I supposed to keep going? Is it really that hard for me to regain my memories, or rather, to return to my own world?" Whether it's difficult or not is unknown, but one thing is certain: for the time being, she can only maintain this pace.
Although I desperately wanted to return to that world, I was also filled with fear. Where did I come from? Why was I doing all this? What would I encounter when I got back? What was my purpose in coming here?
With many questions in her mind, the girl closed her eyes and quietly pondered, pondered, pondered, and gradually fell asleep.
"Sister?" I called softly, but after a few seconds there was no response, so I knew she was probably asleep.
"She must be a little tired." She didn't really understand her sister's thoughts, but she knew that her sister was becoming more and more opinionated.
That kind of thinking is beyond her control; perhaps all we can do is hope she doesn't do anything reckless.
But thinking about it, with her mother and aunt watching over her, there's nothing she can do even if she wants to do something reckless.
"Let's see how many views the video has." She finished uploading and reviewing the video last night and went to sleep. Not only did she get up late this morning, but she also had a lot of things to do.
I'm only now able to find the time to check my results; hopefully, they won't surprise me.
With that in mind, she opened Bilibili, scrolled to the music section, and suddenly saw that Chu Yan's video was ranked third in the music section.
The other two works with higher ratings than her "True Colors" are both highly popular works by content creators that have been released for three days.
Judging from the current situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to catch up soon.
"110,000 views, 20,000 coins, 30,000 favorites... wait, isn't the number of favorites a bit too high?" The number of views is normal, and as for coins, anyone who likes Chu Yan would probably give them. It's just that the number of favorites is a bit strange. Why?
"Let me check the comments." The puzzled girl opened the comments and saw all sorts of howls, the most common being "Quickly add it to your favorites, or it will be censored." "That moaning... I can't take it anymore." and so on.
Seeing these comments, she understood somewhat. These people probably thought her sister's videos were too explicit and might be censored, so they downloaded them beforehand to avoid not being able to watch them.
That's true, the older sister's moans were so irresistible that it was hard to resist. At first, during the review process, we thought there was no problem and it would be fine to release it.
However, if someone reports it later, or if they find that the video contains any inappropriate content, it is normal to delete it.
"Well, I hope that won't happen... Oh, right, I need to get my sister a Weibo account." If it were before, when Chu Yan posted videos out of interest, then Weibo would be optional.
After all, they came from wealthy families and didn't need to do these things to earn money. Plus, neither of the girls had any experience, so they didn't pay any attention to it.
That won't work now. Since Chu Yan has already signed with Xinghua Entertainment, she still needs a personal Weibo account, which can also be used for verification.
With that in mind, she went on Weibo and after fiddling around for a while, a Weibo account named "Chu Yan" was created.
