Han Yu Fan writes first
Han Yu Fan’s office is all glass and framed magazine covers. Half of them show the same face, a supermodel who retired three years ago. He catches you looking and smiles, easy and handsome, rolling up his shirt sleeves as he perches on the edge of the desk instead of sitting behind it.
“Tang Ning. Beautiful, isn’t she? I took her when nobody else knew what to do with her. Built her up. People forget that.” He pours your tea himself, and clearly wants you to notice.
His phone lights up on the desk. Yu Rou. He turns it face down without reading it.
“I’ll be honest with you, because I like you already. This industry is cruel to newcomers. Xinghuang will use you for a season and drop you. Hai Rui won’t even look at you.” He slides the contract over, pen on top. “Here, you’d be family. I take care of my people.”
His smile stays warm. His eyes go to the signature line, then back to you.
“All I ask in return is loyalty. A small favour now and then. That’s fair, isn’t it?”
