How about this? While delivery services havent stopped, Ill send you some cured meat and pickled vegetables this afternoon. Your father will buy meat immediately and fry it when he gets back. Ill send it to you at the same time.

Dong Ni did feel a little regretful when she found out that she couldnt go home for the New Year, but she was still a little happy when she thought about how hard it had been for her to get this good role.

This phone call made Dong Ni feel a little sad. Although her mothers voice was cheerful, Dong Ni could still feel the disappointment of her parents hopes falling through.

The trees may prefer calm but the wind will not subside. By the time a child wants to care for their parents, their parents may be gone.

Dong Ni said a few more words of concern about her parents health before hanging up. She was now wondering if she should keep going. She was 27 years old this year, but she still had nothing to show for her career. Her parents did not accompany her wholeheartedly. Even her savings had just exceeded five figures.

Dong Ni didnt know if she should go back to her hometown, but what could she do there? The acting major she had earned was incompatible with the jobs needed in small county towns. A hometown she couldnt go back to wouldnt fit a body, but there was no place for her soul anywhere else.

Dong Ni looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky in confusion. Where should she go?

Ding!

The notification ringtone interrupted Dong Nis melancholy. She took out her phone and saw Tan Mings friend request.

Dong Ni was a little surprised. Although Tan Ming was a newcomer, she was treated like a big star in the production team. She had a sugar daddy with backing and resources. She had barely spoken to her, so why would she suddenly add her as a friend?

Dong Ni accepted the request with curiosity. As soon as the request was approved, she received a message.

Anan: h.e.l.lo, Dong Ni. Im the female lead of Cycle, Anan. Do you still remember me?

Dong Ni: I remember! h.e.l.lo!

Tan Ming did not expect to be added as soon as she sent it over. She sat up straight happily and got straight to the point.

Anan: What agency are you signed with now?

There were advantages and disadvantages to signing with an artists management company. Dong Ni did not sign it. Firstly, many management companies contracts were a little fraudulent now. Some popular artists still had the right to speak up. For those who had just graduated and started acting, they did not have the right to speak up. Moreover, she was most worried about being arranged to accompany her bosses and investors. This kind of unspoken rule was an open secret in this industry.

However, it was still better for big companies. It wasnt that Dong Ni hadnt submitted her resume when she graduated, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. She was worried that small companies would cheat her too much and didnt want to go, so she was still hanging around.

Dong Ni: I havent signed a contract with any company.

Anan: Then are you willing to come to our Golden Star Entertainment Company? Brother Huai is a little busy these few days, so Ill talk to him.

Dong Ni held her phone and looked at the message in disbelief. Although Golden Star Entertainment Company was newly established, Jiang Huai was her idol. Ever since Jiang Huai debuted, she had been paying attention to him and liked him. It was also because of Jiang Huai that she decided to enter this industry.

Dong Ni had no doubt about Jiang Huais character. Moreover, she was at the end of her rope now. As long as she signed with a reliable company, it would definitely be better than fighting alone.

Dong Ni was shamefully tempted. She had a feeling this would be the most important turning point in her career.

Toni: Anan, Im willing, but Im still filming at the studio.

Tan Ming smiled and nodded.

Anan: Its okay. Ill send you the softcopy contract. Take a look. If theres no problem, you can sign it first. After youre done filming, Ill go back to the company and get a hardcopy.

Softcopy contracts were recognized by the law. Tan Ming wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h her away as soon as possible. If this drama became a big hit, she might start making demands for the company.

Tan Ming did not scam people. However, since she was looking from the perspective of a businessman, the greater the advantage she had, the better. They could guarantee that they would not scam actors, but that did not mean that actors were all honest people.

After all, Tan Ming only took a fancy to Dong Nis abilities, but she didnt know her character.

Following that, Tan Ming did the same thing and successfully negotiated with Feng Bin and Uncle Xing.

After Dong Ni read the contract, she only requested for one additional condition. She refused to accompany others to drink or sleep with, and rejected the unspoken rules. Tan Ming naturally agreed and immediately asked the legal department to change the contract. Feng Bin and Dong Ni signed the contract the next day and returned it to Tan Ming.

Her mother had two elder sisters, an elder brother, and a younger sister. Her father only had two younger brothers. One of them was her uncle, Jiang Ling. Other than her grandparents who could not travel long distances and those who were studying and working overseas and could not come back for the time being, everyone was present.

They were prepared to organize everyone to start spring cleaning..
