Contract
In that instant, a flash of inspiration crossed Ding Bei’s mind, like a drowning person clutching at the last straw. He thought he should let Xia Xin shoot the advertisement.
Xia Xin’s current status was somewhere between an ordinary person and an internet celebrity. Although she could not be considered a big star, she was a panda caretaker, and what were pandas? They were national treasures. That instantly raised the level.
Moreover, Xia Xin was beautiful, no less so than the top stars in the entertainment industry. Most importantly, Xia Xin was not afraid of snakes at all!
Ding Bei was ecstatic and immediately wanted to contact Xia Xin. However, he quickly calmed down and decided to first talk to the director of the Capital Zoo about this matter. If the director agreed, the chances of successfully getting Xia Xin to shoot the advertisement would be even higher.
Although Ding Bei and Lu Yuan did not have much of a relationship, he felt that Xia Xin shooting the advertisement would also benefit the zoo. From Lu Yuan’s support of Xia Xin’s social media videos, it was evident that he was using Xia Xin’s popularity to bring more traffic to the zoo.
After finding Lu Yuan, Ding Bei mentioned the matter, and Lu Yuan did indeed show interest. However, he stated that it would depend on Xia Xin’s willingness and that he could not force her.
During the break, Lu Yuan called Xia Xin over.
After listening to Ding Bei’s explanation, Xia Xin fell into a brief silence. She thought, ‘So, Ding Bei wanted me to shoot an advertisement. Should I do it?’
Xia Xin was actually a low-key person, but ever since she bound the Beast Language System, she became more and more high-profile. Now, she was one of the fastest-growing bloggers on the live-streaming platform.
Of course, becoming popular had its benefits for Xia Xin. Not only did Lu Yuan increase her salary, but she could also exchange many useful items in the Beast Language System’s Shop using her Human Affinity points.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Xin nodded slowly, “I can give it a try, but I don’t have any experience in shooting advertisements, so if my performance isn’t good…”
Upon hearing Xia Xin’s agreement, Ding Bei was so excited that he almost jumped up. He quickly assured her, “It’s alright, lack of experience isn’t an issue. Our company’s focus is on presenting authenticity and nature in the advertisement. You just need to naturally interact with the animal.”
Then, Ding Bei showed Xia Xin pictures of the Trimeresurus that would be involved in the shoot and informed her that the snake was a captive-bred one with a very gentle temperament. The company would also provide her with safety precautions, ensuring that nothing unexpected would happen.
As Xia Xin looked at the pictures, an ordinary person might not see anything remarkable, but after being bound to the Beast Language System for so long, she had developed some ability to judge animals based on their “demeanor”.
From the appearance, the Trimeresurus looked quite elegant among its kind, slightly plump in body shape, with no aggression in its eyes. It was highly likely to be a pet snake bred in captivity.
Xia Xin nodded, indicating that she had no problem with it.
Before coming to the zoo, Ding Bei had already prepared the contract. Seeing that Xia Xin agreed, he excitedly took out the contract and introduced the terms to her.
As Xia Xin finished reading the contract, she finally realized another benefit of shooting this advertisement: she would receive a generous reward!
Looking at the string of zeroes, Xia Xin felt like she was dreaming. If she had to earn this much money on her own, she did not know how many years it would take.
“Miss Xia, do you have any objections to the remuneration? If you have any objections, we can discuss it further,” Ding Bei asked cautiously.
In reality, with a businessman’s mindset, Ding Bei did not need to add that sentence. After all, for an ordinary person, such a high advertising fee was already quite good. But now, in Ding Bei’s eyes, Xia Xin was his life-saving straw, and he had to ensure that she was satisfied with every clause in the contract.
If Xia Xin changed her mind halfway, then he would not have a place in the advertising company either.
Shaking her head, Xia Xin said, “I have no objections.”
Ding Bei breathed a long sigh of relief. He immediately proceeded to sign the preliminary contract with Xia Xin, and upon seeing that contract, the exhausted face that had been worn down by staying up late finally revealed a hint of relief.
After Ding Bei left, Lu Yuan joked, “Xin, with your qualifications, it would not be a problem for you to join the entertainment industry. Have you never considered it?”
If Xia Xin wanted to become a star, with her current popularity, there would be no shortage of entertainment companies willing to sign her. Lu Yuan always felt that he wouldn’t be able to keep Xia Xin in his zoo for long.
Smiling, Xia Xin shook her head and said, “Uncle Lu, don’t tease me. I don’t have such thoughts for now.”
