My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 60 Contract (Request for recommendation tickets!)

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Contract (Request for recommendation tickets!)

He opened the game.

The game interface was still very rudimentary.

Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixelated character was standing quietly on a platform, holding a blue pixelated thermos.

Her big eyes occasionally blinked vacantly, and the words "Fetching Water..." hovered above her head.

Chen Yan smiled at the sight of Yu Qiao Qiao’s adorable appearance.

He really missed his student days when he could fetch water every day.

Since graduation, having large water jugs meant he could no longer experience that joy...

After smiling, Chen Yan began to observe the changes after the game’s upgrade.

He glanced at the top and bottom bars, and keenly noticed that a new function had been added to the game’s bottom bar.

The neatly arranged "Girlfriend," "Shop," and "Fixed Assets" had moved slightly to the left, and on the far right, the words "Profession" appeared.

"Profession?" Chen Yan murmured to himself.

Driven by curiosity, he clicked on this function.

Immediately, a simple prompt popped up,

"A good relationship should be a win-win. Material life and spiritual life are equally important. While ’Virtual Girlfriend’ provides you with cashback, you should also pay attention to her life, her dreams."

"Go try to understand her dreams and choose a suitable profession for her. Help her develop her career path. With each small milestone completed, you will receive a mysterious reward."

After reading the prompt, Chen Yan stroked his chin.

So this "Profession" wasn’t about his own "Profession," but Yu Qiao Qiao’s.

Boss Qiao Qiao really seemed like a woman of destiny.

But... does she have any job she wants to do?

Chen Yan recalled for a moment.

It seemed that besides "eating," "learning," and "earning money," this girl didn’t seem to have any other pursuits.

That might be because her most important current goal was to survive, not spending time contemplating ideals and dreams.

After all, only when material needs are met can one pursue spiritual life.

So... how could he know what her dreams are, what she wants to do?

Chen Yan propped his chin, pondering carefully.

Hmm...

He decided to first try to understand the little one’s preferences and dreams before making a decision.

"Profession" was too significant for the youngster to handle as crudely as making quick money...

But, there was no rush for now.

During the time they spent filming together, he had ample opportunity to understand...

The next day, Chen Yan arrived at the company early to continue selecting voice actors.

He was busy all morning.

At noon, he received a call from Mei Li.

On the phone, Mei Li said that the contract was ready and had been sent to Chen Yan’s email. Chen Yan could have his legal team review it, and if there were no issues, they could officially sign.

He opened his email and downloaded the contract.

In the afternoon, Chen Yan visited several law firms, listened to their opinions, argued back and forth with Mei Li for a while, and finally finalized the contract.

He printed the contract, stamped it, signed it, and sent it directly via express courier to Mei Li, arriving the next morning.

With the thought of doing two tasks for the price of one, Chen Yan had those law firms revise several drafts of the actor contracts for his own company, keeping them for future use.

While revising the contracts, Chen Yan couldn’t help but think of Yu Qiao Qiao.

Boss Qiao Qiao was supposed to sign this contract too, right?

Then himself... could he perhaps make some "adjustments" to the contract?

After all... one could only knit a sweater by continuously shearing wool.

This way, his game production budget could be a bit more flexible!

After all, there was still a gap of tens of thousands.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan was instantly tempted.

So he simply directed the lawyers to draft another contract with a bunch of additional clauses.

When the lawyers heard the additional clauses Chen Yan requested, they were stunned.

They looked at Chen Yan with a mixture of concern, repeatedly confirming if he truly wanted to add those.

Chen Yan confirmed once, twice, three times that he indeed wanted them added.

After finalizing the contracts, Chen Yan brought the contract templates back to the company and then informed the experts that the contract with Lu Man had been formally finalized.

Although they had a preliminary agreement before, there had been many uncertainties, but now, with the official contract negotiated, just short of signing, everyone felt relieved.

Phoenix was the happiest of all.

Because after confirming Lu Man’s participation, she had more confidence when approaching other talent agencies to select actors. The other parties might also be more cautious and enthusiastic.

Back at his desk, Chen Yan flipped through the contracts.

The standards of the several contracts varied. There were contracts for extras, supporting actors, several lead actresses, and... for Yu Qiao Qiao.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and felt he should first give the "gang members" a heads-up...

To avoid spilling the beans when Yu Qiao Qiao asked about it later.

With that thought, he went to Phoenix’s side, placing the contracts on her desk, and said, "Phoenix, these are the actor contracts I drafted with the lawyer this afternoon, please have a look."

Phoenix stopped her work, smiled, and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen." She then took the contracts.

The standards of the contracts ranged from low to high.

Initially, Phoenix’s face was very relaxed as she read.

But gradually, as she flipped through the later contracts, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Finally, when she reached Yu Qiao Qiao’s contract, Phoenix gasped.

Before she even finished reading the contract, she looked up and said, "Mr. Chen, isn’t Yu’s contract a bit inappropriate?"

Chen Yan feigned ignorance, "What’s inappropriate?"

Phoenix pointed at the clauses one by one and said, "Isn’t this too generous? Even for Lu Man, it wasn’t this generous."

Chen Yan had already prepared his response.

He patted the last contract and said, "Take a closer look at these clauses. It looks generous indeed, but it actually doesn’t cost much extra."

Phoenix bit her lip, trying to calculate how much all these costs would add up to.

But before she could figure it out, Chen Yan interrupted her, earnestly saying,

"Phoenix, don’t worry about the money. Money is bullshit, it’s actually nothing."

"It’s you guys who are the most important!"

"Us?" Phoenix looked up at Chen Yan, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Yan nodded, speaking with righteous fervor, "Yes. This isn’t just a privilege for Qiao Qiao, but for the benefit of our entire company."

"Whether it’s you, Tank, or Sihai, everyone involved in the production team will follow this standard."

"You are the company’s most essential veterans and its core competitive edge!"

"So, I’m not bothered by twenty or thirty thousand here!"

With that, Chen Yan spoke boldly again, "Even, when our game blows up, I’ll give each of you a big red envelope!"

Seeing Chen Yan’s passionate demeanor, Phoenix was momentarily stirred.

When she first saw the contract, she suspected Chen Yan might be giving Yu Qiao Qiao special treatment, especially since Chen Yan had previously arranged to give her extra money. At that moment, she even doubted if Chen Yan had intentions toward Yu Qiao Qiao.

But when Chen Yan stated that everyone in the company would follow Yu Qiao Qiao’s standards, she suddenly felt a sense of loyalty, a willingness to die for a good leader!

It seemed that Mr. Chen wasn’t playing favorites with Qiao Qiao, but truly considered his group of people his own!

Joining the company at its inception was indeed a happy occasion!

She definitely had to share this with everyone in the company, so they all knew how much Mr. Chen valued everyone!

Meanwhile, Chen Yan thought to himself...

How much time did these company bigwigs have to spend on the set anyway? Even if they went, how many days could they manage?

It would hardly cost much.

And... Boss Qiao Qiao was like ten people in one!

This move was a win...

...

That evening, Yu Qiao Qiao came to the company for work as agreed since she had no classes.

Zhao Ying, perhaps bored again, also came along.

She was dressed in hip-hop attire today, wearing her cap backwards, and upon seeing Chen Yan, cheerfully gave a couple of "Yo Yo’s" and insisted on fist-bumping with him.

Chen Yan reluctantly reciprocated, then turned to Yu Qiao Qiao and said, "Qiao Qiao, you’ve come just in time, the contract is ready, come sign it."
