Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 370 The White Moonlight in the Substitute Novel (20)

The fine snowflakes outside the window fluttered against the glass, melting into winding watermarks, much like the teardrops shimmering between her collarbones.

"This is the contract." He Jing's well-defined hand suddenly appeared in front of him, the black cufflinks reflecting a cold light.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed sharply, as if she had seen something unbelievable, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.

"No way?" she muttered to herself, "Why is He Jing going to have a contract marriage with me so soon?"

Gu Xiaoxiao's hands trembled slightly as she stared at He Jing, trying to decipher something from his expression. However, He Jing's face remained expressionless; he simply looked at Gu Xiaoxiao quietly, waiting for her response.

Gu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She composed herself and finally mustered the courage to ask He Jing, "Can I refuse?"

"No way!" He Jing replied coolly.

The A4 paper shimmered bluish-white under the warm light, and only then could Gu Xiaoxiao make out the four Song typeface characters "Labor Contract" on the contract, her fingertips loosening slightly.

The office was filled with the scent of cedarwood, a stark contrast to the cloyingly sweet smell of orange candy that he always carried in the inner pocket of his suit.

Even though Gu Xiaoxiao was tempted, she had to give up and refused firmly: "Doesn't President He do background checks before poaching people? President Zhang has been very good to me..."

"A pre-paid annual salary of thirty million." He Jing suddenly leaned forward, the sandalwood desk creaking softly. "An independent studio included, with year-end bonuses to be calculated separately." He traced the salary terms with his long index finger, the familiar platinum ring on his ring finger flashing dazzlingly. "Miss Gu's loyalty is truly touching."

“However, this annual salary is indeed quite considerable, enough for Miss Gu to buy many things she desires.” He Jing casually rubbed the contract in his hand while looking at Miss Gu opposite him with a half-smile. His gaze seemed to penetrate her heart, making her feel a little uneasy.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Such conditions would be hard for most people not to be tempted, right? After all, who would turn down money?" As he said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible mockery.

Gu Xiaoxiao was filled with remorse, but her back remained ramrod straight. Despite her troubled expression, her determination was unwavering. "I... still refuse."

He Jing's pen spun rapidly between his fingers, drawing a sharp silver arc, before he suddenly slammed it onto the contract with a "smack." "As an actress with professional ethics, Miss Gu shouldn't let her emotions cloud her judgment!" He smiled slightly, revealing a mocking smile, but his gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Gu Xiaoxiao.

The wind and snow outside the window intensified, the howling wind shattering the warm light of the wall lamp into countless fragments, as if the whole world had become fragmented in that moment. Gu Xiaoxiao's gaze was fixed on the signature section at the end of the contract. After hesitating for a moment, she softly said, "I need to think about it..."

However, before she could finish speaking, He Jing suddenly loosened his tie, and the originally tight shirt collar instantly loosened, revealing his broad chest.

"Before 10 a.m. tomorrow." He Jing casually tossed the pen in front of Gu Xiaoxiao, the pinky ring tracing an arc in the air, brushing against the old mark on her ring finger. "Waiting for good news." He chuckled, a hint of mockery in his laughter, then his fingertip heavily ground over the words "Contract Details." "Miss Gu, you're a smart woman."

He Jing swaggered out of the office, as if everything was under his control, and he was certain that Xiao Xiao would agree.

Zhui Feng, who had been anxiously waiting outside, rushed forward to greet He Jing as soon as he saw him come out, and asked tentatively with a look of anticipation, "Boss, did the goddess agree?"

He Jing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident and certain smile. His voice was filled with unwavering confidence: "Of course, when have I, your boss, ever misjudged someone?"

Hearing He Jing's affirmative answer, Zhui Feng became as excited as a child, waving his arms and saying, "That's true! Boss has been the best at judging people all these years. He can tell what kind of person someone is and what kind of character they have at a glance!" As he spoke, he hugged the flower in his arms tightly like a treasure and happily spun around.

However, just as he was feeling elated, he seemed to suddenly remember something important. He looked down at the flowers in his hand and quickly said to He Jing, "Boss, we haven't delivered these flowers yet!"

He Jing looked at the bouquet of flowers without a care and said cheerfully, "Your goddess has money to spend now, she doesn't need these lousy flowers!"

"These lousy flowers?" Zhui Feng stared wide-eyed at the expensive bouquet of blue roses in his hand, swallowing hard. These were flowers his boss had specially bought for his goddess to negotiate a contract; how could he call them lousy flowers?

However, Zhui Feng's mind worked quickly, and he immediately came up with a good idea. So he said to He Jing with a fawning look, "Boss, since the goddess doesn't need this flower, can you give it to me? I'll take it to give to my girlfriend!"

He Jing suddenly realized that Zhui Feng had a girlfriend. He looked at Zhui Feng and said with a smile, "You've worked hard today. Go back and spend time with your girlfriend. I'll give you a week off so you can get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Zhui Feng was completely stunned. His eyes widened as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world. He muttered to himself, "What's going on? Gui Jianchou has actually become a living bodhisattva? And he even gave me a day off?"

Zhui Feng couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard, or if He Jing had some other motive. However, He Jing's expression seemed very sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

Zhui Feng wondered to himself, could it be that the goddess's commercial value was so high that He Jing had lost his mind? After all, the goddess's influence and fan base were enormous, and if they could successfully cooperate with her, it would undoubtedly be a huge asset to the company.

Zhui Feng thought about it more and more and it made sense. He decided to accept this unexpected vacation and take a good rest. At the same time, he thought about how to tell his girlfriend that the goddess wanted to join his family's company.
