Lin Yan had asked Zhao Hongling to meet her later in the day to discuss the contract. She had no time for Pei Yutangâs nonsense. Thus, she left for Zhao Honglingâs apartment after washing up.
Duoduo and Zhao Hongling were carefully reading the contract.
âDuoduo, open the door,â Zhao Hongling told Duoduo when she heard the doorbell.
Duoduo rose and walked to the door.
âHello, Sister Yan,â Duoduo greeted her.
âWhat did you call me?â Lin Yan grinned.
Duoduo was speechless...
âGranny, youâre here!â The corners of Duoduoâs mouth twitched as she tried again.
âGood girl.â Lin Yan nodded in approval before casting her bag aside on the couch.
âLin Yan, I have read the contract carefully. There is no problem... However...â Zhao Hongling gazed at Lin Yan, looking conflicted.
âSister Ling, whatâs wrong?â asked Lin Yan.
âItâs the remuneration.â Zhao Hongling didnât beat around the bush.
Lin Yan replied, âSister Ling, is the remuneration too low for you?â
âNo. On the contrary, itâs too high.â Zhao Hongling shook her head.
Zhao Hongling had asked around regarding Summit Entertainmentâs remuneration package. Experienced managers indeed took home a generous remuneration and a bonus. However, the sum stated in the contract was higher than what those managers earned.
Logically speaking, someone who had just jumped ship would get a lower bonus and remuneration than the veterans of the company.
âIsnât that awesome? Sister Ling, whatâs troubling you then?â Lin Yan looked confused.
Zhao Hongling nodded and expounded, âIâm very satisfied with the terms in the contract proposed by Summit Entertainment. I just donât understand why Summit Entertainment would be so generous. I read your contract too, and the terms and treatment are great as well!â
âThere is no question about that. Summit Entertainment must have felt that we are worth that sum of money. After all, they are not a charity organization.â Lin Yan chuckled in response.
Zhao Hongling didnât doubt Lin Yanâs explanation.
Just like Lin Yan had said, Summit Entertainment wasnât a charity organization. They must have performed an evaluation of the artistâs potential and talent prior to signing them.
Based on Zhao Honglingâs experience, their remuneration and bonus should have been lower than what the rest of the managers and artists received. The terms in the contract were totally unexpected.
Usually, a managerâs remuneration would depend on the artist. Summit Entertainment had given Lin Yan a generous package, which was why she and Duoduo benefited from it as well.
A manager like her wouldnât even have dared to dream of entering a conglomerate like Summit Entertainment.
âMy salary has swelled a few times too!â Duoduo exclaimed in excitement.
At Summit Entertainment, an assistantâs salary would be paid directly by the company.
Duoduo came from a poor background and had been the breadwinner of her family for a long time. Thus, she had been very pleased with her salary at Star Entertainment.
However, Summit Entertainment had offered her six times her previous salary!
This merely applied to the trial period. If she performed well, there would be an adjustment.
Duoduo felt as if she was dreaming. This was too surreal. It was unbelievable.
Lin Yan and Zhao Hongling waited for a short while before two of Summit Entertainmentâs representatives arrived.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
One of them was in charge of the contract, while the other was a representative of Summit Entertainmentâs legal department.
