My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 453

Interest peaked, Gao Jiaming fixed an inquisitive look on Nan Chen. “So all those rumors online are true?”

Nan Chen did not ask what those rumors were. Instead, he said, “Get to the point.”

“Okay, okay. As you have guessed, I’m here to sign Ding Mi on for a product endorsement. I’ve even brought a contract with me. Here, have a look.”

The moment the new series became a hit, Gao Jiaming was already drafting up a contract. That showed what an efficient and brilliant businessman he was. He was sharp enough to sniff out this opportunity before the other companies. That was how his company managed to become the best in the province.

Glancing through the contract, Nan Chen noted that it was an advertisement for an international women’s underwear brand.

Naturally, Nan Chen had seen such advertisements before. He recalled them having female celebrities clad only in their underwear, striking various seductive poses as they showed off their assets.

His brain supplied him with images of Ning Ran doing the same as she posed before a camera. Anger roared through him at the thought.

He threw the contract at Gao Jiaming, snapping, “Get out!”

Gao Jiaming was stunned. “Why are you getting angry at me? I’m letting your company earn a profit, ain’t I? Why are you asking me to leave?”

“Leave! Get out right now!” Nan Chen roared.

“Sir Chen, what is the meaning of this? Star Entertainment said I had to get your permission so I brought the contract here for you! Now you’re asking me to get out? How about you tell me which part of the contract you’re dissatisfied with?”

Being quite familiar with Nan Chen, Gao Jiaming knew that going against the other man was pointless when he was in a temper. All he could do was try to appease him.

He truly did not want to let the opportunity of working with Ning Ran slide. Being able to sign a contract with an up-and-coming celebrity was an incredibly profitable business. Some newer celebrities might only require one million in endorsement fees today. However, one month later when they became even more famous, their fees might increase to three million, ten million or even more!

Gao Jiaming got the feeling that Ning Ran was the type of actress that would rise to fame in no time. After all, she was incredibly talented. That was why he wanted to snatch her now, while she was not as well-known.

If he were not quick enough to get her before she signed a contract with other underwear brands, she would be unable to sign with him anymore due to the exclusive nature of advertisements.

This was the reason why he withheld his anger at Nan Chen yelling.

The sudden explosion of rage shocked Nan Chen as well. Now that he had gotten it out of his system, he realized he might have gone a little overboard.

Why did I lose my cool whenever that woman is mentioned?

“I don’t agree to the terms of this contract. Hence, I won’t sign it,” he uttered.

Gao Jiaming explained, “Five million in endorsement fees for a new artist like her is already quite high. Besides, we can sign a three-year contract and pay her fifteen million at one go. That’s not a small amount, you know!”

“No.”

“Then why don’t you give me a number? How much do you want?”

“I won’t give you a number. I’m not signing that,” Nan Chen refused coldly.

“Fine. I can talk to the company about increasing the fee to six million. How does that sound?” Gao Jiaming offered.

“I’m not signing it.”

Gao Jiaming cried out in dismay, “Oh my god! Six million for a budding actress is practically unheard of! What else do you want? Sir Chen, you’re a businessman too. You should know that this is already the highest we can offer!”

“Please leave. I’m not signing that.”

“Are you scornful of the low price or is there something else that you’re unhappy with? You can tell me. Don’t just tell me you won’t sign!”

By this point, Nan Chen was starting to get impatient. “She does not do underwear advertisements, understand?”

Taken aback, several seconds passed before Gao Jiaming roared with laughter.

Nan Chen’s voice was icy as he growled, “What are you laughing at?”

Laughing in Nan Chen’s face like this was an extremely rude action and Gao Jiaming knew it.
