Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1659 - 1648: The Villain’s Foster Mother

"Have you signed with a management company yet?"

"I haven’t decided yet. Brother Ye, are you thinking of introducing me to one?"

"Would you like to sign with my studio? I guarantee the contract terms are very favorable for you."

"Brother Ye, do you really think I’m worth it?" Chuqing smiled slightly, "What if I can’t become famous?"

"With your acting skills, how is it possible not to become famous?" Ye Mu had a look on his face that said ’Stop joking,’ "I’ll make money by signing you while you’re young."

"But I’m still in school, and I might need to focus more on my studies."

"That’s not a problem; the studio can arrange your time reasonably."

Chuqing couldn’t deny it; she was really tempted at this moment. After shooting for a while, she got along quite well with Ye Mu. She disliked complexity and intrigue, which was why when her sister initially introduced her to Li Tangfeng’s company, she politely refused. Although the Li family’s company is large and has many resources, it’s not what she wanted.

Ye Mu’s studio had simple connections, and most importantly, her brother Ye Mu, the boss, got along very well. He always talked about introducing resources to her and promising there wouldn’t be any inappropriate work, so why not?

"Then, Brother Ye, when are we going to sign the contract?"

Ye Mu widened his eyes, "You’ve agreed just like that?"

"Is there anything wrong? Brother Ye offered such good conditions, it’d be peculiar if I didn’t agree."

"Don’t you need to go back and discuss with your family?"

Chuqing’s eyes flickered, "No need. I’m an adult now; I can make decisions for my future."

"Alright, let’s schedule a time to sign the contract."

After saying goodbye to Chuqing, Ye Mu hurriedly called Ye Qiu, "What now? She agreed to sign the contract. Shouldn’t you personally sign the contract with her? What if she regrets it when she sees you later?"

The other side, Ye Qiu, was silent for a moment, "Then I’ll avoid appearing for now; you sign the contract with her."

"But you’re the boss of the studio; you two will eventually have to meet."

"We’ll handle that after the contract is signed."

"Well, then good luck with that; I can’t help you."

On a beautiful day, Ye Mu personally brought Chuqing to the studio to sign the contract. Looking at the already prepared contract and the favorable terms for Chuqing in it, Ye Mu clicked his tongue in wonder.

Chuqing was also stunned after reading it, "Brother Ye, this contract..."

"What’s wrong with the contract? Is there a problem? If you think there’s anything unreasonable, feel free to bring it up, and we’ll revise it."

"It’s not a problem, but I’m just a newcomer. Are these terms too good for me?" Chuqing patted her chest, daring not to sign, because the terms were wide-ranging enough for top actresses, practically requiring nothing from her while offering a high share and tempting resources.

"It’s still a big step from my own. It’s not the best, but rest assured, you deserve it. I expect you to bring a high return to the studio."

"Should I sign it then?"

"Don’t you need a lawyer to look it over?"

Chuqing quickly signed two copies of the contract with a smile, "Brother Ye treats me so well, there’s no need to get a lawyer. I trust Brother Ye."

Ye Mu collected the contract with a meaningful smile, "There will be even bigger surprises waiting for you in the future."

"I’ll definitely work harder; I won’t let you down, Brother Ye."

Since she was now a company artist, Ye Mu insisted on having the studio’s driver take Chuqing back to school. After Chuqing left the office doors, Ye Qiu came out from the inside lounge and smiled slightly looking at the contract.

Yet the world is full of surprises, usually seen in TV drama plots, but it happened to them at this moment. Chuqing, who had just exited, unexpectedly opened the door and returned.

"Brother Ye, I left a pen here; that pen is very important to me." Chuqing said while looking at the signing table, and after she picked up the pen and looked up, she froze.

Looking at these two women, neither seemed eager to speak. Ye Mu glanced left and right and decided not to get involved in the storm.

"You talk, I have something to do."

After he spoke, seeing neither of them looked at him, he pursed his lips and quietly closed the door.

A long time passed before Chuqing finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "What’s your relationship with Ye Mu?"

"He’s my brother," Ye Qiu answered truthfully.

Chuqing stared at her intently, "How come I didn’t know you had such a brother?"

"He reached out later; I didn’t know either at first."

"You orchestrated this contract signing, didn’t you?"

"I did."

Chuqing laughed sarcastically, "I wondered how I could be so charming that a debut contract surpasses that of a top actress. Seems you do have feelings for me?"

"You’re my daughter; how could I not have feelings for you?"

"A daughter you bought," Chuqing mocked again, seeing Ye Qiu’s face pale, she instantly felt some regret, but her stubbornness led her to turn away, refusing to say a soft word.

"I know you hate me, which is my own doing. After all, I’m the one who caused you to be apart from your family for so many years. You could have lived better, received more education, but instead suffered with me. It was my selfishness that held you back."

Listening to Ye Qiu’s words of remorse, Chuqing’s lips moved, but she still didn’t speak.

"Have you been alright this past year?"

"With my biological parents being so rich, how could I not be alright?"

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, surely better than when you were with me."

Chuqing wanted to say it wasn’t true. Living in a luxurious villa every day, she occasionally missed that small house. Although small, it was clean and tidy, and most importantly, she had dwelled there for over a decade, already attached to it, and you were there.

These words, she didn’t utter, so the mother and daughter fell silent again.

After a while, Chuqing asked again, "Why did you want to sign me?"

"I’m afraid other companies might not offer favorable terms."

"Afraid it’s unfavorable? With my family so wealthy, who would dare?"

"Tang family isn’t involved in the entertainment industry."

"So you are, just because Ye Mu’s your brother? He’s just your brother and one you haven’t seen in over twenty years. Do you have such deep sibling bonds? Why did he agree to offer me such good terms?"

"Chuqing, I’m the owner of this studio. I’m also his manager."

Chuqing was once again taken aback. She had heard people mention how powerful Ye Mu’s manager was, but how could it be this woman before her? The previous decades were mediocre; how suddenly did she dive into the entertainment industry and do so well?

She involuntarily recalled seeing those reference books about being a manager during dinner table once. The woman hadn’t yet reconciled with Ye Mu back then. Why study those? Actually, Chuqing already knew the answer but didn’t want to voice it. Since she’s been so good to her? Why wasn’t she in contact earlier?
