HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

Chapter 93 The First Gift: Signing a Contract with Sony

Time flew by and it was noon.

In the resort hotel restaurant, a group of people sat in a row, their eyes fixed on someone who was walking towards them carrying a plate.

"Hehe, here comes the chicken soup!"

Xiang Nan carried over a large pot of chicken soup, placed it in the center of the table, and then quickly ran behind Yi Fei and pinched her ear.

"Hey—what are you doing!"

Yifei struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she immediately crossed her arms in an annoyed manner.

She pouted and shrugged irritably, "So annoying!"

Xiang Nan chuckled: "It's hot!"

"Are you so stupid you can't even hear yourself?"

"You need it ice-cold, just right!"

At the dining table, Liu Jing, Shu Chang, and Zhou Yang exchanged glances, their beautiful eyes silently communicating, while Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin's eyebrows twitched back and forth, their meaning unclear.

As for Feng Man, she has long since disappeared from the public eye.

"Ding ding!"

Liu's mother tapped the plate, and Xiang Nan, who was beside her, finally calmed down.

He sat down next to Yifei, glanced around suspiciously, and said, "Eat up. What, are you afraid I'll poison the chicken soup?"

"Well----"

No, no.

Shu Chang, who was standing to the side, raised her hand to scoop the soup, but before she could even reach out, a pair of large hands snatched it away first.

Xiang Nan ladled out a large bowl of soup, put down the spoon, brought it back, blew on it, and then placed it in front of Yi Fei.

"Honey, I had Manman go to the county town to buy some free-range black-boned chicken, and I personally simmered it for two hours. It's definitely good for your stomach and health."

After saying that, he leaned down and whispered in Yifei's ear: "Drink more, it can relieve menstrual cramps."

Yifei rolled her eyes at him, her face flushed, and muttered, "I didn't!"

Honestly, it feels like Big Wooden Head has changed.

I felt more relaxed and less dull than before.

but----

Yifei took a sip of the mildly salty chicken soup, feeling warm in her stomach and even warmer in her heart.

But it's so good, it feels so good to be loved.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Liu's mother clicked her tongue in annoyance, thinking to herself, "I'm almost like Feng Man now. Look at you, you probably think Xiang Nan is the best in the world."

"Big blockhead, you're the best person in the world."

'

""

"Hehehe————" Xiang Nan chuckled, then suddenly noticed Liu's mother's expression. He immediately straightened his face and corrected her, "I am the second best in the world, and the best in the world will always be Aunt Liu."

"Mmm-hmm!"

Yifei turned her head and kissed Liu's mother, saying sweetly, "Mom is the best in the world."

She paused, then added: "The second big blockhead."

While wiping her face, Liu's mother complained, but her expression relaxed considerably.

The three of them kept interacting, and the others at the table quickly became mere background figures, getting full without even needing to eat.

After eating seafood for several days, the group quickly finished off a pot of chicken soup.

Upon hearing that it was Xiang Nan's work, he immediately gave a thumbs up.

After a pleasant lunch, the group returned to the beach.

Since they were on vacation, they naturally wanted to relax. However, the group dressed more casually, and Xiang Nan even wore a white T-shirt.

Five girls and one boy lay in a row on the beach.

The midday sun was still scorching, and the salty sea breeze caressed their faces. Accompanied by the cries of seagulls and the languidness of summer, the group soon began to doze off.

Xiang Nan sat on the far side, with Liu's mother to his left and Yi Fei to her left.

Liu's mother was wearing a floral dress. Xiang Nan stared at her for a long time until he was sure she was asleep, then quietly got up.

He tiptoed to Yifei's side, just in time to meet Feng Man's gaze. Without Xiang Nan saying anything, Feng Man covered her mouth.

Xiang Nan blinked at her, then looked at Little Pudding, bent down, reached out, and hugged her.

"Ah!"

Yifei was startled at first, but after seeing who it was, she obediently relaxed and let the big guy pick her up in his arms.

Xiang Nan slipped back to his beach mat.

He first gently put Yifei down, then lay down on his side to block Liu's mother's view.

"Wood, what do you want to do?"

Yifei lowered her voice and her head, looking incredibly cute.

"It's alright."

Xiang Nan reached out his hand, and Yi Fei took the opportunity to slightly raise her head, letting him put his hand under her neck.

The two lay face to face, whispering to each other.

"Little Pudding, have I been too strict with you?"

Yifei's lips curled up, and she almost burst out laughing.

I thought the big log was going to bite me again, but this is what happened.

Hmm—why not mess with him?

"Yeah!" Yifei pouted, her face full of displeasure.

"I don't even have time to travel anymore. There are so many beautiful sights, but I can't take the time to appreciate them all."

"Uh—" Xiang Nan took a deep breath.

Making her film and practice singing in just six months must have been really tough on her, considering Yifei is only eighteen years old now.

I did interfere quite a bit, like an overbearing father.

However, by 08/09, the era of record labels was coming to an end. If we didn't seize the opportunity to win some awards now, later—

Across from Xiang Nan, Yi Fei saw his conflicted expression and immediately shook her head with amusement.

"Oh, I was just kidding!"

"You're kidding me?" Xiang Nan wasn't angry; he just continued explaining, "If you insist, we can cancel some of the promotions. I see you really enjoy karaoke, so I thought I'd help you develop a career in the music industry."

There's one more thing Xiang Nan didn't say: The task that you, Chen Jinfei, failed to complete in your past life, I, Xiang Nan, will complete!

"Actually, it's not so bad." Yifei blinked and pressed her finger against Xiang Nan's chest. "I just feel that it's a pity that so many good songs are wasted on me. The singer you found, Zhang Liangying, who sang the opening theme of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' is quite good. She would definitely sing it better than me."

"You're talking nonsense again, Sisi!" a female voice suddenly rang out.

"!"

The two little ones were startled at the same time. They turned over and saw Liu's mother sitting up.

"Xiangxi," Liu's mother frowned as she looked at her daughter, "One cannot be without kindness, but one cannot be too kind either. Too much kindness is foolish kindness! Why did Xiao Nan give you so many good songs? Because you are an important person to him! Or do you want Zhang Liangying to become an important person to Xiang Nan?"

"don't want."

Yifei pouted, feeling that her mother was deliberately being annoying.

When Xiang Nan saw that Liu's mother had woken up, he simply sat up and helped Yi Fei up as well.

He took out several documents from his briefcase, straightened his expression, and looked at Yifei: "Little Pudding, this is your first birthday present today. Aunt Liu and I gave it to you together."

Hearing this, Liu's mother felt a warmth in her heart.

Yifei curiously took it, glanced at it, and then opened her mouth wide.

"A Sony Music contract? The same one as yours?"

"right!"

Yifei pursed her lips, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

This record is roughly a second-tier production, Sony is at level six, and she is at level four. The fact that Sony would part with such a large chunk of her stock must be because of the man in front of her.

Indeed, Xiang Nan secured all the contracts by sacrificing 10% of his album's value.

Given his current status as a rising star, a bet against him is practically a no-brainer; he'd definitely win 70/30.

His 10% share is far more valuable than Yifei's 20% or 30% share!

Before her, Qian's eyes gradually reddened: "You, um—how can you be so good to me?"

"Wrong!" Xiang Nan exclaimed in a panic, his loud voice instantly waking the others.

"Don't cry, Little Pudding, this is a good thing!"

Behind him, Liu's mother smiled and thought to herself, "Go ahead and coax him, Xiang Nan! Let him show off!"

"Waaaaah—thank you, you big blockhead, hey!"

Yifei lunged forward, grabbed Xiang Nan's neck, and started nibbling on his lips.

The women's eyes widened instantly.
