Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1257  What Do You Think Jia Qiulian Is?

There weren't many people in the company cafeteria at the moment. Jia Qiulian saw Director Li sitting there waiting for her.

She smiled, took the food she wanted to eat first, then brought the plate and sat opposite Director Li.

"Jia Qiulian, you're finally here!" Director Li looked behind her cautiously. " Director Han didn't follow you?"

"No." Jia Qiulian took the chicken leg on the plate and bit into it. Chewing, she said, "Director Li, don't be like a thief. We're not doing anything shameful, so we can talk openly."

"Shh ..." Director Li raised his hand and covered Jia Qiulian's mouth, "Although this is not a shameful thing, but among directors, it is not a good deed. I am not trying to poach Director Han, but you really are the most suitable candidate. If I could find someone better, I certainly wouldn't do something like this."

"I understand." Jia Qiulian knew. Of course, every director wanted to be almost perfect in selecting scriptwriters and actors before deciding to make a movie or TV series.

For a director, a movie or TV series was the same as a book was for the author.

They were all their children. Who didn't want their children to be outstanding and be recognized and liked by everyone?

Seeing Director Li still cowering and hiding his head, Jia Qiulian smiled helplessly. "Director Li, you don't have to be like this. Actually, Director Han knows about this, and he has no objection. Don't worry."

"Really?" Director Li was overjoyed and his face was full of laughter. "Aiya, I really didn't expect Director Han to have such a measure. I'll have to take him out for a big meal later!"

This had nothing to do with Jia Qiulian. She just smiled.

Since Han Cihui already knew about this, Director Li felt there was no need for him to become a thief. He bit the meat on his plate and said excitedly, "How about this... Jia Qiulian, I'll come to your office after lunch. Didn't you say that you've already written some scenes? I'll go there to take a look. If you feel that something is not right, we can discuss it further. If it's possible, we can sign the contract right away!"

"Okay." Jia Qiulian happily agreed.

Since there was an hour break time, Jia Qiulian was afraid of disturbing her other colleagues, so she told Director Li to go to her office when it was time for work.

This Director Li was really restless. It was exactly one o'clock when he swaggered to the office.

When the people in the office saw him, they all showed shocked expressions. They thought that Jia Qiulian wouldn't show it openly, but she directly asked Director Li to come here to challenge Han Cihui!

The assistant was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He could only glare at Director Li who was walking towards Jia Qiulian.

"Jia Qiulian, take out the script. Let me take a look at it first."

Jia Qiulian opened the script and then got up, giving him her chair.

Director Li didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in her seat. Then he concentrated on reading the script she had written.

Jia Qiulian didn't write much. She was only able to write the script for three episodes. Director Li repeatedly praised her. "Not bad, Jia Qiulian! The contents of these episodes are quite to my liking. As expected, I didn't choose the wrong person!"

Jia Qiulian smiled and humbled herself. "Director Li, don't praise me too much. If you think something doesn't fit, we can discuss it further."

"No need, this is already good enough. For a series with 24 episodes, your plot is very tight and the ending is very good. It makes people want to keep watching it. I like it very much."

Director Li smiled and stood up. He patted Jia Qiulian on the shoulder. "Let's talk about the contract now..."

As he said this, Han Cihui's office door happened to open. His sharp gaze immediately fell on Director Li's hand resting on Jia Qiulian's shoulder.

Director Li didn't notice Han Cihui's displeasure. Seeing him come out, Director Li hurriedly walked up to him and extended his hand. "Aiya, Director Han, I am very pleased to meet you today!"

Han Cihui cast a cold glance at Director Li's hand. He put his hands in his pockets and just looked at him.

Director Li felt a little awkward. He guessed that Han Cihui was not happy with Jia Qiulian writing the script for him, so he said nothing.

Director Li was a very intelligent person. When he saw Han Cihui's expression, he didn't continue to embarrass himself further. He smiled politely and waved at Jia Qiulian. "Let's talk in my office."

Suddenly, Han Cihui opened his mouth. "Negotiate a contract?"

Director Li looked at him. "Yes. Jia Qiulian has already written for three episodes. I am very satisfied with them, so now we can talk directly about the contract."

"Let's talk here." Han Cihui refused, "Jia Qiulian is my employee, the money she earns is half mine."

"This..." Director Li's heart thumped a little. He felt that Han Cihui's words were not very friendly.

Han Cihui didn't care what Director Li thought and continued to call his assistant. "Yao Au, clean up conference room number two."

The assistant stood up angrily. He glared at Director Li and went to clean the conference room.

Director Li rubbed his hands together. He felt as if he had ridden a tiger and couldn't get off.

Originally, he could have talked to Jia Qiulian about the amount of money. Now that Han Cihui wanted to interfere, this matter wouldn't be so easy to talk about.

Nothing needed to be cleaned up in the conference room. The assistant immediately came out and respectfully said to Han Cihui. "Director Han, the conference room has been tidied up."

Han Cihui nodded and led the way to the conference room.

Director Li had no choice but to follow Han Cihui.

The assistant gritted his teeth dejectedly. He didn't know what Han Cihui was even thinking. Since Director Li had come to dig his own grave by coming to their own place, Han Cihui not only didn't stop him but instead even let Jia Qiulian and Director Li talk here.

And he had to make them coffee.

Just the thought of it made him feel stifled.

After the three of them went into the conference room, Han Cihui sat there like a bystander, saying nothing.

"Jia Qiulian, there are 24 episodes in this series. Previously, the screenwriter's salary was based on the number of episodes they wrote, but since you are the author of this book, the amount will surely be different from ordinary screenwriter's."

"Besides, you have made a name for yourself in the screenwriting world, so I will give you a salary of one million, what do you think?" Director Li wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Jia Qiulian felt that this price was already very high. Director Li indeed had no intention of taking advantage of her. She thought for a moment and was about to nod when Han Cihui slowly opened his mouth.

"One million? What do you think Jia Qiulian is?"
