224: Chapter 224 Contract Negotiation

Having often seen the images of these two online in his past life, Chen Fan recognized them at a glance—one was Reba, and the other was Naza.

To be honest, seeing the two of them for the first time, Chen Fan felt a bit strange.

It wasn't excitement, but rather that sense of novelty one feels when seeing big stars suddenly appear right in front of them.

He hadn't expected that these two top-tier young actresses, who shone brilliantly on screen and were adored by countless people in his past life, would be sitting quietly in the meeting room right now just like ordinary girls, even looking a bit reserved.

If Chen Fan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

He pushed open the meeting room door and walked in.

The few people chatting in the meeting room reacted differently when they saw Chen Fan enter.

The woman around forty sitting at the very back—Naza's mother—glanced up at Chen Fan, her gaze lingering for less than two seconds before moving away.

At her age, she had no curiosity about young men; she was more concerned with whether this company was reliable or not.

Naza and Reba's reactions were completely different.

The moment the two girls saw Chen Fan push the door open, their gazes were involuntarily drawn to him.

The young man before them didn't look much older than them; he was dressed in simple casual wear, but had a perfect physique and striking features. Even in their art academy, that face would definitely be considered outstanding.

More importantly, there was an indescribable aura about him, very different from the peers they had met before.

Chen Fan had lived for over thirty years in his previous life and had been a small business owner for over half a year since his rebirth; naturally, his temperament was different from that of an ordinary person.

Reba glanced at Chen Fan and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Naza, however, took a few extra looks, her eyes carrying that unique, slightly curious glint typical of a young girl seeing a handsome guy.

"Mr. Chen." Wang Jing hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Upon hearing Wang Jing call him "Mr. Chen," everyone, who had previously had different expressions, couldn't help but lift their heads and look at Chen Fan again.

Naza's mother took a sharp look at Chen Fan, her eyes full of surprise; it seemed she hadn't expected the young boy before her to be the company boss.

Both girls were also shocked.

They had just been secretly thinking about how handsome this guy was, and it turned out he was the boss.

Naza's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and the expression on her face shifted from curiosity to surprise, then to something indescribable.

She looked at Chen Fan, and there was a hint of something strange in her eyes that even she hadn't realized.

Chen Fan nodded at Wang Jing, then looked at Reba and Naza, saying in a gentle tone, "I presume these two are Miss Reba and Miss Naza."

Although Chen Fan knew their identities clearly, he could only play dumb and say it this way.

Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Wang Jing quickly introduced them: "Mr. Chen, this is Miss Naza, and next to her is her mother. This is Reba."

As soon as Naza's mother heard that the young man in front of her was the company boss, she hurriedly stood up from the sofa, a polite and slightly reserved smile on her face: "Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Naza's mother. I'm here accompanying my child this time."

Chen Fan reached out to shake her hand and smiled politely: "Hello, Auntie. You've had a long journey."

"Not at all, not at all." Naza's mother waved her hands repeatedly.

Chen Fan let go and turned his gaze to the two girls.

Standing beside her mother, Naza immediately broke into a sweet smile the moment she saw Chen Fan look at her, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

Her voice was crisp and enthusiastic, carrying the unique vitality of a young girl: "Hello, Mr. Chen! My name is Naza, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Reba, standing to the side, also revealed an enthusiastic smile and nodded slightly: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Fan nodded at them, then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down: "Please, all sit. Don't stand."

After everyone was seated, Chen Fan leaned back against the sofa, looking at Naza and Reba with a gentle gaze.

After observing them up close, he realized that these two girls were indeed very beautiful, with features as exquisite as if they had been meticulously carved; they were truly worthy of being the top-tier young actresses who would carve a path to success in the entertainment industry in his past life.

"I invited you here this time to discuss the cooperation. I presume you two beauties and Auntie have already learned about our company, right?" Chen Fan said straightforwardly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Naza spoke up first, her face filled with undisguised excitement: "Yes! Sister Wang Jing took us around the company; the company is so big! There's even a gym."

She gestured as she spoke, her eyes sparkling as if she had discovered a new world.

Naza's mother sat beside her, watching her daughter's carefree demeanor with a helpless smile, but she didn't stop her.

Reba wasn't as expressive as Naza; she just smiled and nodded, echoing: "Yes, the company environment is indeed very good."

"Since you already have an understanding of our company's basic situation," Chen Fan said in an unhurried tone, "I wonder what you two beauties have decided regarding the advertisement endorsement?"

Just as Naza's mother moved her lips to speak, Naza couldn't wait and jumped in ahead of her, her voice crisp and firm, her eyes filled with irrepressible excitement: "Mr. Chen, I'm willing to endorse it!"

Naza's mother glanced at her daughter and shook her head helplessly, but didn't blame her for speaking out of turn.

She composed herself and asked: "Mr. Chen, regarding the endorsement fee, what exactly is the amount?"

Hearing her mother ask this question, Naza also pricked up her ears to listen.

Reba also tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on Chen Fan, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.

Watching their different expressions, Chen Fan curled his lips slightly, his tone calm but clear: "The endorsement fee is fifty thousand yuan per year, with a five-year contract."

As soon as the two girls heard this number, their eyes lit up instantly.

Fifty thousand yuan was indeed not a small amount for a college student. She didn't show her joy like Naza, but she was clearly calculating something in her heart.

Naza's mother, however, wasn't as excited as the two girls. When she heard "fifty thousand," a flicker of joy flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to her normal expression.

She pondered for a moment, weighing her words, and spoke slowly: "Mr. Chen, to be honest, fifty thousand yuan is indeed a significant amount, and we are very grateful to the company for giving Naza this opportunity."

She paused, then continued: "However, this is for a game advertisement. Miss Wang Jing just gave us a rough idea, and the styling might be a bit revealing. Naza is still in school, and she's a girl, so as parents, we certainly have to consider this aspect more. So... can this price be negotiated further?"

After speaking, she glanced at Naza. Naza didn't respond, just pursed her lips, her eyes darting between her mother and Chen Fan; she wanted her mother to help her negotiate a higher price, but she was also afraid that saying too much would ruin the opportunity.
