Two Contracts – My Lover Is A CEO - Chapter 255
Rosa was surprised. She was aware that Yang Fangxu was Wu Lina’s sister-in-law. She said, “How much can you offer?”
Yang Fangxu grinned wondering if Rosa had taken the bait. “I can offer you fifty million Yuan. However, this is negotiable.”
Rosa went deep in thought and said, “Okay let me think about it”.
Yang Fangxu replied, “Once you have finalized, please let me know. I will send my writer to tell you the story”.
Rosa nodded.
“I like the fact that at such a young age you’re already running this resort. This is a beautiful resort. I’m happy that you’re such an enterprising girl,” said Yang Fangxu. “I hope that both of us collaborate further in future. It is important that in the movie industry we are selfish otherwise people will trample you even before you begin,” continued Yang Fangxu.
Rosa pursed her lips and said, “You are right. Unless you are selfish, things don’t work for you.”
Yang Fangxu could see that Rosa was an easy fish.
“Thirty million Yuan is a lot of money. Not that I need it but it would be good if I can be less burdensome to my husband. He had been supporting me continuously,” said Rosa with a sheepish smile.
“Oh, it is always a good idea to be an independent woman. I am glad that you have decided to work with my company. Rest assured Ivan will definitely get more exposure with me instead of Epic Entertainment.”
Rosa smiled and nodded saying, “Of course your company is bigger. Wu Lina has just started… but I would like to ask you one thing – aren’t you Wu Lina’s sister-in-law?”
Yang Fangxu sneered and said, “Yes, I am Yang Xinyu’s step sister. But we don’t get along. He is just too proud and egoistic. Wu Lina is an uncultured, uncouth woman who has become rich overnight after seducing Yang Xinyu. I just don’t like her.”
Rosa lowered her head. Wasn’t she also coming from a middle-class background and now married to one of the richest men in China? She suddenly felt that she was so lucky that Yan Xiaojun had chosen her. She smiled at Yang Fangxu and said, “Sorry to hear that. I don’t know about your family problems.”
“Oh! You wouldn’t even want to know, trust me!” said Yang Fangxu rolling her eyes.
Rosa laughed at her. Yang Fangxu joined her and together they laughed like two old friends. Yang Fangxu then wrapped the conversation by saying that she will send her secretary to seal the contract and they will start filming next month.
After she left, Rosa decided to take a break form the office and spend time at her home. There were very few customers at resort, something that could be managed by the staff.
She was waiting for the advertisement that Wu Lina was supposed to deliver. But Wu Lina hadn’t even called her for initial sitting to talk about the concept, which frustrated her. She wanted to call her and ask for the progress but refrained.
Meanwhile, Wu Lina was already in the final production stage. She decided that she would be able to start filming the movie from next week onwards. She wanted to keep it under wraps until the filming started. She had decided to call all the reporters and media to announce about her movie during the first take. Her secretary informed Rosa that the production would start early but Ivan would be filmed later. His dates were going to fall in the next month.
Wu Lina was busy with so many things for the movie that she did not have time to look into any of the Internet chat rooms. One day when she was busy in a meeting with the set designer for the movie, Che Mingliang came running to her.
Che Mingliang wasn’t the type of a person who would just barge in any meeting, so if she had come, there surely was a huge issue that needed attention.

While driving back to her office Yang Fangxu logged into her account of Weibo and announced, “For my new movie I have signed cutest little child star whose name is Ivan. An adorable baby with green eyes and dimpled cheeks, he is the next sensation of the movie world.”
Immediately there were thousands of comments that flooded her account.
“Aww. So cute! Can you please post his pic?”
“Yang Fangxu, you have done a wonderful thing to make a movie with a child actor.”
“We can’t wait to see your movie.”
“When are you doing that fan meeting?”
“What about your own movie?”
“We want to see you also. You are such an intelligent actress.”
Yang Fangxu was extremely happy with the comments. She was sure that Rosa was a foolish teenager who was more into materialism. Even though she was friends with Wu Lina, who wouldn’t waver after seeing that kind of money, and Rosa was also from a middle-class background. She had taken the bait.
Yet another thing that Yang Fangxu did not realize was that there were many mothers who had become her overnight fans. They had appreciated her next plan for making a movie with a child. She snickered and thought that it was so easy to thwart Wu Lina’s plans. She hadn’t even entered the industry properly. Her father’s image came to her mind and she smiled further. She was satisfied that they would taste defeat even before they had begun.
When Che Mingliang rushed in the meeting room, Wu Lina looked at her questioningly. Her secretary showed her Yang Fangxu’s Weibo. Ivan had been signed up with her. Wu Lina was shocked. She had trusted Rosa so much that she hadn’t even sent her the contract.
Wu Lina panicked and stopped the meeting with her set designer immediately. So much money was at stake. The filming was about to commence next week. She could feel tears in her eyes. But there was one thing that was off – Yang Fangxu had announced a movie with Ivan. What was it that she was missing? She had thought of revealing it to the world a week later. This was her first taste of the dark side of the entertainment world and she wasn’t ready for it.
She called Rosa.
