Love Contract novel Chapter 263

He looked at Victor and Ena.

Barry smiled imperceptibly and said, "Mr. Lan, you are quite an observant. Yes, our company plans to recruit talents. So, Mr. Lan, could you come back later after our business is done?"

"The movie 'Be Together' was very successful. Also, I think highly of Ena." However, instead of going out, William sat down and continued to speak. "An artist of our company, whose style was just like Ena's, was banned a few days ago. I want to sign a contract with Ena. How can I go out?"

Barry glanced at William incredulously. He did not expect William to be so shameless.

"Ena, what do you think?" urged Mary.

"I..." Standing aside, Ena looked at Victor shyly and answered, "I will follow Victor."

Mary and Ena exchanged looks, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, Victor was stunned. He looked at Ena with shock in his eyes. Fortunately, he was able to regain his composure quickly. "You can go wherever you want. Don't take me with you."

"I..." Ena pouted her mouth in grievance and looked at Mary for help.

"Okay." Mary exhaled loudly to ease the awkwardness in the room. She turned to Victor and said, "Then let me ask Victor first. Which company do you want to join?"

Victor looked at everyone and a cunning smile formed on his mouth. "I never said I wanted to sign a contract!"

"No, no, no! You must sign a contract!"

All of a sudden, another person entered the room. It was Archer. He walked towards Victor and put his arm around his shoulders. "Look, Barry and William both want you. It would be a waste if you don't seize the opportunity to ask for something big. Don't hesitate, Victor! Why don't you understand?"

"When did I say I wanted him?" murmured William.

"Oh, that's great," said Barry as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Now there's no need to think about it. Take Ena to our company, Victor."

"No way!" With his eyes wide open, William said, "How about this, Barry? I will sign contract with Ena, and you'll sign with Victor, one on each side, fair and square."

"I... I want to work in the same company as Victor!" Ena was shy but her words were clear and firm. "Eh?" William swallowed hard and wondered why this little girl was so stubborn. It was her career!

"Victor, if you join our company, you would definitely be the top actor. You will have many opportunities to cooperate with big international actors." To persuade Victor into joining his company, Barry started to list the things he thought would benefit Victor most. "Moreover, one of our company's strengths is covering up scandals and gossips. Any rumor that could trample on your career would be immediately shut off. Ena, rest assured that you would be at peace as well if you join our company."

When Barry said this, he glanced at William.

Upon hearing Barry's words, William got angry at once. "Barry, what do you mean? Are you saying that my company needs gossips to make our artists famous? If Ena comes to us, would anyone bully her?"

"Gossip is inevitable," said Mary. "What Mr. Gu said makes sense. I have dealt with this issue a lot when I was in AJ Group."

"Mary, you..." William felt upset and betrayed. "How could you help him?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Archer nudged Victor and winked at him.

"Archer, what about you?" Barry looked at Archer and said, "Welcome to our company." "I don't need it!" Archer shook his head and explained, "I'd rather work in my own studio, free and unrestrained."

"Then why do you want me to sign a contract with one of them?" Victor asked Archer with a frown.

"I'm different from you," Archer answered nonchalantly. "Being an actor is just a hobby for me. I also have to take care of my family's business! But for you, being an actor is a profession. You shouldn't be too erratic!"

"But," Archer changed the subject and said with a mischievous smile, "if Mary asks me to act in a movie in the future, I will not refuse. I will act for her even if I won't get paid." He then moved closer to Mary and said with a smile, "After all, Mary is my sister-in-law! Am I right, sister? You will have to be concerned about my future with Aisha!"

"You..." Mary laughed at him. "You really want to get involved in everything! If Aisha really likes you, everything will be fine. Anyway, it's working time now. Let's get back to business. Victor, have you made up your mind and figured which company you'll join?"

After pondering for a while, Victor answered seriously, "Well, since these two big bosses are both interested in me, I have a request."

"What is it?"

"I want you to give me five percent of the company's shares," Victor said as he glanced at the two CEOs.

Archer patted on Victor's shoulder and gave a thumbs up secretly.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

"Since no one is an outsider here, I will go straight to the point." Barry, after a long time, said truthfully, "Victor, I can only give you three percent at most."

Victor nodded and turned to William. "What about you?"

With his arms crossed over his chest, a myriad of thoughts crowded into William's mind in an instant. "Victor, you know the operating mechanism of AJ group. I'm glad that you can be a part of us. I agree with giving you five percent. Welcome back."

After speaking, William reached out his hand to him.

Victor was actually surprised. He did not expect that William would give in so easily.

"What? You already regretted?" William smiled.

"Of course no!" Victor reached out his hand as well and politely shook hands with him. "Then, I'm expecting that my career will develop under Mr. Lan's care."

"You're welcome." "Well, Ena..." Mary looked at Ena expectantly.

"I also want to sign the contract with AJ Group."

"My pleasure!" William raised his eyebrows and looked at Barry, as if he was the general who had won a battle against him.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

There was a knock on the door, and Jill's head poked through the open door. "Mr. Gu, the second half of the meeting is about to begin."
