A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 93

3 Million Fans (4)

“It’s fine if there isn’t,” Bai Qi said and turned to look at Xi Chengyun.
“I’ll go with what Xi-ge says.”

Xi Chengyun was going through the backlog of work on his phone.
When he heard Bai Qi’s voice, he looked up and asked, “How much are we getting for an appearance?”

Shang Guang thought, ‘You’ve never cared about things like these in the past.’

Nevertheless, Shang Guang still gave an honest answer.
“This is the #1 show on RedTV.
They’re offering an appearance fee of 4.8 million for you and 1.5 million for Mr.
Bai.
Both the amounts are after-tax.
You’d have to record for almost a whole day.
I think this money is not really worth it…it’s so little…”

Xi Chengyun didn’t answer him and instead turned to look at Bai Qi.
“Can you accept it?”

‘Hm?’

Bai Qi was stunned and couldn’t immediately understand what Xi Chengyun meant.

Xi Chengyun didn’t wait for his reply.
He paused before saying, “It is pretty less.
Your worth is not based on me anymore.
After this episode is edited and aired on TV, your worth will be a few times higher.
Let’s wait for another call from that program.”

Bai Qi finally understood what he meant.

Shang Guang thought the incentive was way too little and truly wasn’t enough to buy the appearance of Xi Chengyun.

‘But Xi Chengyun is willing to go with Bai Qi? And all he wants to know is whether Bai Qi was okay with the pay???’

Bai Qi wet his lips and felt a little embarrassed.
He felt his heart rate increase.

It’s likely because he was taking advantage of someone to a point of being nervous.

“To an average person, an amount like this exceeds all expectations!”

There wasn’t a hint of dissatisfaction.

Xi Chengyun nodded and turned to look at Shang Guang.

“…”

“Okay, I got it Xi-ge! I’ll make the necessary arrangements now.”

Just then, Little Lin suddenly said, “F*ck! Look, Qi Qi!”

A thought unknowingly appeared in Xi Chengyun’s mind —— ‘Why is everyone addressing him as Qi Qi now?’

“Have you seen your Weibo?” Little Lin asked.

It’s been a long time since Bai Qi has used his Weibo.

Ever since Xi Chengyun asked the lawyer to file for a case back then, he’d asked Bai Qi to not look at his Weibo as often.

“What’s up?”

“You already have 3 million followers! This is super fast! You can debut right now!”

Shang Guang lightly smacked Little Lin on the head and said, “Where’s your respect? Address him as Mr.
Bai, or Young Master Bai is fine too.”

Shang Guang felt sorrowful over his current predicament.
On one hand, he was worried that Xi-ge would take this seriously, and on the other, he was faithfully defending Xi-ge’s position as Bai Qi’s legal husband.
He couldn’t allow random little vixens to address Bai Qi as ‘Qi Qi’.

An innocent smile graced Little Lin’s face as he said, “Young Master Bai.”

Bai Qi didn’t really care about how he was addressed.
“Mn.
You reminded me, I realized that a lot of people added me on WeChat, and I have no idea where they are from…”

He turned his phone towards them for them to see.

The requests were from accounts like ‘XX Culture Media Co.’, ‘XX Communication Studios’, and ‘XX Entertainment Co’.

Shang Guang couldn’t take it anymore.

“Isn’t this an insult to our Xi-ge? No matter that, they should have contacted us first!”

Xi Chengyun asked in a low voice, “Do you want to join the entertainment industry? If you want to…” ‘I can introduce you to more reliable companies.’

Bai Qi threw his phone aside.
“Nope.” He firmly shook his head.
“I still have to sit for my Postgraduate Admission Test.”

Little Lin sighed in his heart when he heard that.

‘You can make so much as a celebrity! Why on earth do you want to do a Master’s?’

Xi Chengyun didn’t know how he felt at the moment.
He felt slightly regretful over the fact that he couldn’t be of any help.

This didn’t sit well with him.

So, Xi Chengyun reached forward and said, “Shang Guang, pass me my phone.
I’ll give a call to RedTV.”

Shang Guang rigidly passed the phone to him.

Xi Chengyun took the phone over and dialed a number.

He conversed briefly with the person on the other end and soon ended the call.
His expression never changed throughout.

“The recording is the day after tomorrow.
So tomorrow, have Shang Guang go with you to sign the contract.
You don’t have a manager, so you’d have to take the trouble to go there yourself.
They are offering you 5 million.”

Shang Guang immediately thought, ‘No way, no way is that true.’

There is no denying that Bai Qi is popular, has been on the Hot Search multiple times, and has a decent amount of fans, but there’s no way he’d be worth so much so soon.

Bai Qi wasn’t familiar with all these internal workings and immediately nodded in agreement.
“Earning money is no longer tiring.”

Shang Guang sat there with his brows knitted tightly for a long time.
He suddenly realized, ‘Wait, did Xi-ge simply give his portion of the money to Bai Qi?’

‘My god!!!’

Xi Chengyun remained silent for the rest of the ride.

He recalled the moment where Bai Qi skated over to him, hugged him, and said, “Hubby, you’re the best.”

His luminescent eyes blinked at him obediently, as if to say, “Thank you, Xi-ge.
I’ll be there whenever and wherever you need me.”

And for just a moment, Xi Chengyun felt like he was splitting in half.

…

When they reached Jing City, Xi Chengyun went straight to his psychiatrist.

The author has something to say:

Where and when do you need me? I need you to keep saying, “Hubby, you’re the best.”
