    On the day when the first snow fell this winter, Sheng Min had been rehearsing in the theater for three weeks.

    He has tried all the characters involved in this script. Starting from this Monday, he will no longer play any supporting roles, and only concentrate on rehearsing the leading role. Yin Qian's changes to the lines can also be seen as close as possibleSheng Min's temperament is changing.

    "Let me just talk." Deng Jing was a little more relaxed, and smiled and whispered to him, "According to my understanding, it is estimated that it will only be two days, and I will discuss the contract with you."

    Sheng Min smiled, Yin Qianpin himself has not formally expressed his position with him, and anything is possible until the final signature, besides... speaking of the contract, it has caused him another worry, there are still a few days left, his eight-year brokerage contract ended.

    As the time was approaching, various entertainment gossip forums were buzzing about whether or not he would renew his contract, and if not, who would get the contract.

    Some people gossip that he is rehearsing Yin Qianpin's play recently, and released photos of him entering and leaving the theater, but public opinion generally speculates that this is just a kind of pastime outside of movie and TV drama appointments, and it is all normal. No one thinks that heWill really move to the drama circle.

    No matter how famous Yin Qianpin is, the drama is still a small circle after all.

    The marketing account, which is not a big deal to watch the excitement, launched a vote, and the option of not supporting the contract renewal was overwhelming.

    When the media asked about the company, the answer was no comment.An acquainted reporter sent a message to ask Sheng Min's attitude. He just wanted to end this matter as low-key as possible, and it was difficult to reply.

    Even the illegitimate fans came to the theater, probably wanting to ask him about his plans in person. There was a particularly persistent boy who came back the next day after being driven away by security. Sheng Min didn't want to affect the progress because of his personal affairs, so he took the initiative to negotiate.Glancing at him twice, he ran away without saying a word...

    All kinds of discussions were raging, and the company's stock price was affected. According to Zhang Zhihua, Zhang Shan, who had returned to N City, hadn't come to him since that phone call.

    "Xiao Min." Deng Jing patted him on the shoulder, "Why are you so obsessed? Your phone is ringing."

    Yang Xu called, saying that his mother had ordered a few alpine lambs, and sent a copy to Sheng Min, and she would be back today, so that he would remember to pick it up when he received the message.

    "Has Zhang Zhihua contacted you recently?"

    "No, I haven't looked for me for a long time...Brother, what's the matter? Didn't you not renew your contract?" Yang Xu asked, "I started looking for bookstores, but if you change your mind, I won't."The store has opened, and I will come back to be your assistant."

    "It's okay, I'll just ask." Sheng Min suppressed the thoughts in his heart, he had already made a decision, so he didn't have to worry about it, "The bookstore is opening, remember to call me to support it."

    "That's for sure." Yang Xu chuckled, "Brother, remember to add some goji berries when stewing the mutton. This meat is very good, and my mother buys it every year."

    "Thank you, Auntie, for me."

    "Oh, brother, why are you being polite to me? It's snowing and cold today. I was supposed to eat sheep."

    When left the theater, it was snowing harder and harder, and the courier text message was received half an hour ago.Sheng Min walked to the car, and sent another message to Li Xuan asking him if he would be home for dinner tonight.I don't know what's going on recently, there is no big movement in "Void Island", Li Xuan's work is naturally going smoothly, and those days of busy days and nights seem to have passed away suddenly...

    ‘Reply, it’s going to be later, around 7:30.It will be updated tonight, and there will be a meeting on the operation side later, and I will come back after the meeting.’ Li Xuan’s message came back quickly, ‘If you are hungry, eat first.'

    'I'm not hungry, and have a late lunch, waiting for you.'

    He ordered a fish head to be stewed with mutton. The side dishes were only radish, lettuce and tofu. After thinking about it, he added two packs of crab claw mushrooms.

    Just as the soup was stewed into the casserole, the bell rang again, this time it was Yin Qianpin.

    "Director Yin." Sheng Min turned on the speakerphone, put the phone aside, and talked with a slice of tofu, "What's wrong?"

    "Got home?"

    "Just arrived."

    Yin Qian made a loud noise, rambling a lot, and finally got back to the topic: "How do you feel after rehearsing recently?"

    "It's pretty good." Sheng Min finished slicing the tofu and started cutting radishes, hesitating for a while between slicing and hob, "What do you think?"

    "Hey, you."

    Yin Qianfrequently pretended to sigh, and made up his mind: "I think it's fine...Forget about being polite, I won't say any more. Deng Jing's mouth never stops.How many times have you blown the wind. Let me just say, I have been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I want to sign a long-term contract with you, whether it is five years or ten years, it is easy to discuss..."

    "It's really not good, three years is fine." He paused, and then said, "You know, I don't like repeated tours, so I will at least promise to give you a new drama every year.Before, the long-term actors of my troupe only signed Deng Jing, so your contract conditions should be compared with his... However, this is up to you. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, we can sign "Not Just the Mountain" firstcontract, the tour will start in March, it is indeed impossible to delay any longer, the request is still the original request, during the tour of "Not on the Mountain", I hope you will not take other jobs."

    Yin Qianpin must have had a rough draft, and his speech was very smooth. He drank half a glass of water in one breath, and didn't hear Sheng Min's words: "What? Are you so happy?"

    "Yes." Sheng Min put the cut radish on the plate, paused for a moment, and said solemnly, "Director Yin, thank you."

    "Don't be hypocritical, there is nothing to thank for the partnership." Yin Qianpin said this, with a clear and happy tone, "Then you come early tomorrow? It's in your office. Before the rehearsal, let's talk about the contract first.I have already asked the lawyer to draw up the first draft, you can take a look at it first, and after a few days your contract is over, we will sign it... It will be nothing if it is finalized, you can rest assured and so can I."

    "Okay." Sheng Min blinked, and the steam from the casserole beside him condensed into fine droplets on the glass, blurring the snow that was flying outside the window, "See you tomorrow."

    "See you tomorrow."

    When I had dinner with Li Xuan, I didn't tell him about it, thinking that I would surprise him after signing the contract.I just kept it in my heart, thinking I was calm, but at night it was like going back to the night before Children's Day in kindergarten, thinking of trying on new clothes the next day, tossing and turning, I couldn't fall asleep.

    "What's the matter?" Li Xuan was half asleep, and raised his hand to gently press his shoulder.

    "Woke you up?"

    "I didn't sleep too deeply." Li Xuan moved his arms to wrap around his back, "What's wrong with you? Something is on your mind."

    Sheng Min shook his head, thought for a while and suddenly said: "Li Xuan, you are so kind."

    "Huh?" Li Xuan opened his eyes, "Why?"

    "It's okay." Sheng Min smiled, and leaned against him intimately, "Go to sleep."

    "Okay, go to bed." Li Xuan lowered his head slightly, touched his forehead with his lips, and said childishly, "You are also good, our Sheng Min is the best."

    There was no dream all night, and it was already bright when woke up.

    Last night's soup was stewed and left a small casserole. When Li Xuan came back, he bought a pair of wet noodles at the fresh food store at the door. This season caught up with the last crop of pea sprouts. It was fresh enough without adding any other seasonings, so we simmered it togetherAfter eating the noodles, they each went to work.

    Speaking of checking the contract today, Sheng Min arrived a little earlier, Yin Qianpin hadn't come yet, the tenth floor was quiet, and he was the only one.

    Sheng Min's office is very well lit, the morning sun just shines on the pear tree table, and there are two boxes of Yanjin grapes, brought by Deng Jing - his office is diagonally opposite Sheng Min.

    Sheng Min took out the script to read, annotating, and flipped through the rehearsal video during this period.

    As soon as he was doing something, he was easy to get stuck, and when he noticed the sound of footsteps, he was almost at the door, and it wasn't the sound of Yin Qianfrequency's high-heeled shoes.stopped outside the door.

    Frowning, subconsciously got up, the knock on the door sounded at the same time, outside the door was a face that should not have appeared but should have appeared long ago.

    "I heard that your car was parked in the yard, so I came here." Zhang Shan smiled, "Xiao Min, it's been a long time, I didn't bother you."

    "Where is it, Mr. Zhang, sit down, we should have met." Sheng Min stepped aside, "What would you like to drink?"

    "No need for anything... I'm here to discuss business with you." Zhang Shan walked in without notice, and took out a thick document, "You probably didn't read the contract that Zhang Zhihua sent to you.", it’s okay, I brought another copy.”

    Sheng Min smiled lightly, then pushed back to her: "Mr. Zhang, I won't sign it."

    "You are not asked to sign now."

    "I don't need to read it either." Sheng Min sat down across from her and looked her in the eyes, "Mr. Zhang, you understand what I mean. I won't renew the contract. I thank you for your kindness to me."Enhe has taken care of me these years, but I ask myself, I have made enough money for the company, and there is nothing I can do to the company..."

    "You have nothing to be sorry for the company, but the company needs you now, and there is nothing we can do without you." Zhang Shan smiled modestly, "Xiao Min, let me make it clear that there is no such thing as getting together or breaking up.Only I am willing to have a good talk with you now... It's not that I don't have the chips to talk to you."

    "My sexual orientation?" Sheng Min asked calmly.

    Zhang Shan didn't deny it either: "You also know..."

    She took out another stack of photos from her handbag: "Two pairs, one pair, one pair, the relationship is good."

    "You have people following me?"

    "I admit that I have arranged someone to watch you, but I am not the only one with you, but you have relied on me for your stable life these two weeks."

    Zhang Shan looked down at her newly-made nails, and said in a slow tone, "Half a month ago, someone sent these photos to the magazine, you should be thankful that I spent enough money in advance to greet you door-to-door, so I can stop you.What do you think will happen if the news is really announced?"

    "What can I do?" Sheng Min asked softly, "In any of the contracts I signed, neither with the company nor with the brand, it has never been written that I cannot fall in love. The only thing that can get involved is that IDamaged the brand image. I have a lot of endorsements, and they basically expire next year. I didn’t renew all the contracts. If they want to, they can naturally file a lawsuit. I’m afraid it’s hard to win. Even if they really win, I can’t afford it.Is that money?"

    "Xiao Min, you really have grown up." Zhang Shan shook her head, but her expression was not flustered, "It doesn't matter if you talk about it." Changing the subject, she said, "Aren't you curious, who is following and taking pictures?...I'm really curious, whoever wants to touch my golden doll, I will naturally investigate to the end."

    She picked up the stack of photos again, and slid her fingertips across the two people standing side by side, leaving a dazzling white mark: "It turned out that it was a small punishment and a big punishment, but it wasn't all because of you...Sheng Min, youThis boyfriend is really easy to find, someone needs some resources to find a second generation, and if you insist on finding someone who is against me, you will cause yourself a lot of trouble."

    The reference was too strong, Sheng Min frowned slightly, Zhang Shan smiled and said: "When I started a business, they said I was ruthless and a strong woman.Don't fight unprepared. Do you know why I came to you today?"

    She intentionally paused: "You don't want to talk about the contract with me, we can talk about other things first... Since I came in, you haven't looked at your phone yet? Now go online and check it out, any game forum is fine..."

    She only spoke half of the sentence, and saw Sheng Min's face change as she wished, and Zhang Shan finished the remaining half of the sentence slowly: "Your boyfriend's company has something serious."
