Buzz!
Su Xiaoran’s phone suddenly vibrated with a message notification. As such, she let Mu Qingxue off to check her phone.
It was a message from Lin Haoren, informing her of his arrival at Jinhai Airport.
[Just arrived at the terminal. Heading in to check in now. My flight is expected to take 2 hours. I’m not sure if there’s internet access on the flight. I’ll let you know later.]
[I got it. Fly safe, Renren.]
[*Glares*]
While Su Xiaoran was replying to Lin Haoren’s message, Mu Qingxue took the chance to escape and fix her wrinkled clothes and disheveled hair.
When Su Xiaoran glanced at her, Mu Qingxue’s heart trembled with some fear.
"Ahem!" Mu Qingxue cleared her throat and said, "Since you are on your period, we definitely can’t do anything too strenuous."
"How about we do some script reading to get familiar with our next scenes?" Mu Qingxue suggested.
Su Xiaoran nodded.
This time, she found Mu Qingxue’s suggestion to be quite reasonable. It seemed anyone could become reasonable once they were roughed up.
Su Xiaoran felt like she had stumbled upon a great truth.
"This... is your script, Ranran?"
Mu Qingxue’s eyes bulged with shock the moment she saw Su Xiaoran take out her script.
Even Su Xiaoran herself was surprised.
They both flipped through later scenes in the script and found that every part had been deeply analyzed according to Su Xiaoran’s character.
Mu Qingxue was dumbfounded, seeing each page full of notes.
This level of script analysis was even better than hers.
[Hubby, did you analyze my script again?]
[Ah, yes. I remembered that you had some trouble during your scene last time, so I took it upon myself to analyze some further scenes for you. Do you not like it?]
[No, I love it! Thank you, Hubby. You’re so good to me~! <3]
[Anything for my Wifey.]
While texting back and forth, Su Xiaoran’s heart fluttered with happiness.
With such an understanding boyfriend, how can she not conquer the world?
Meanwhile, Mu Qingxue had, more or less, guessed who had analyzed Su Xiaoran’s script after seeing her happily texting.
She couldn’t help but feel that, once again, she did not understand a single thing about Lin Haoren. There was more to this unassuming classmate of hers than what meets the eye.
With such a powerful script-analyzing ability, how could he have remained unknown after all these years?
There was something fishy about this situation. She had to look into it when she had a chance.
...
[I’m about to meet Director Chen at Jinlan Coffee. I probably won’t be able to reply to your messages quickly.]
[That’s alright. You do your thing, Hubby. I’m also busy doing script reading with Sister Mu.]
[Mm, alright, talk to you later, Wifey.]
[Talk to you later, Hubby.]
From Jinhai Airport to Beiyang City, Lin Haoren had chatted with Su Xiaoran intermittently for the past 3 hours while doing their own stuff.
Their replies weren’t always immediate, but no one was unhappy about it. They both enjoyed this sort of casual companionship despite being separated by hundreds of miles.
"Brother Lin, we’ve arrived in front of Jinlan Coffee. Director Chen should already be waiting inside. You should head in first; I’ll park the car and join you later."
"Alright, I got it. Thank you, Xiao Dudu."
Lin Haoren put away his phone and got off with Oreo in tow.
The moment Lin Haoren entered Jinlan Coffee, a man in his 40s made his presence known by waving him over.
"Xiao Ren, over here!" Director Chen called out excitedly.
"Old Chen, how long have you been waiting? Look at how anxious you are. Should we just go ahead with the contract signing first to calm you down? Lin Haoren said half-jokingly to break the ice between strangers meeting for the first time.
"Hahaha!" Director Chen laughed and patted Lin Haoren’s shoulders enthusiastically, sitting him down. "That is what you said, Xiao Ren."
"The contract is right. Take a look and see if everything is alright with you. If there’s no problem, go ahead and sign it. If there’s a problem, we can discuss it," Director Chen stated straightforwardly.
"Alright, Old Chen." Lin Haoren took the folder containing the contract and had a read.
Fifteen minutes later, he nodded.
The terms and conditions of the contract were as he had agreed beforehand and expected.
Still, he took a photo of each page and had Lumi run it through for any loopholes or hidden clauses he may have overlooked.
He could never be too careful, and since he wielded such technology, it would be a waste not to use it.
However, his worries were redundant.
There was no problem with the contract. A Home for Paws Production Team sincerely wished to work with him and offered the highest industry standard.
If that wasn’t all, they even added a clause to sign a supplementary agreement to raise his compensation accordingly if his value increased during the filming period.
"This..." Director Chen wanted to ask about Lin Haoren’s action, but he wasn’t sure how to raise the topic without embarrassing him.
After all, there was no need to take pictures.
They had provided two identical copies—one for him to keep after signing both.
"There’s no problem with the contract," Lin Haoren said, signing off on both contracts. Then, said with a smile, "I’ll be in your care, Old Chen."
"Good! Good! Good! On behalf of the Production Team, I formally welcome you, Xiao Ren. The show will be depending on you and Oreo!" Director Chen shook Lin Haoren’s hand excitedly.
"What time is the interview, Old Chen?" Lin Haoren asked.
"There’s no rush, Xiao Ren. I heard you came straight from the airport. Don’t you want to rest at the hotel or take a shower to wash off the travel fatigue?" Director Chen suggested.
"I’m in good health, Old Chen. You’re not looking down on me, are you? Do I look so feeble?" Lin Haoren smiled, then glanced at his own attire. "Or is there a problem with my clothes?"
"No problem, no problem at all. Hahaha!" Director Chen laughed.
At the next table over, Assistant Du heaved a sigh of relief. She barely played with Oreo. She’d hate to part with him so soon.
After all, she had never seen such an interesting and intelligent tuxedo cat.
