    Party A: (Stamp) Party B : (Signature)


    Date:


    It was a simple contract with only 13 terms. Qin Guan went through it quickly, smiling at Sister Xue as he signed his name.


    From that day on, Qin Guan was honorably promoted from an untrained model to a C-level model with a formal agency and an agent.


    Sister Zhang stood up and walked around the desk, encouraging Xue Wanyi, “Since Qin Guan is now our model, he should get acquainted with our staff. He will have tomunicate with them in the future.”


    “I’ll take you to the Marketing Department today. In the future, they will share resources with you, besides the channels you find yourself. You have to cultivate a good rtionship with them.”


    Qin Guan and Sister Xue followed Professor Li and Sister Zhang out of her office and headed towards the Marketing Department.


    Qin Guan was shocked by the noisy scene in the offices of the Marketing Department. People were answering phones, making posters and carrying costumes. It looked like a bazaar was taking ce there.


    Sister Zhang didn’t seem surprised. “Everyone is always super busy after thest date forpetition applications. That’s to be expected.”


    She led them to a group of staff who were making calls, where a gentle, middle-aged man sat.


    She introduced the man, “This is Lan Jin, marketing director of New Silk Road. He is in charge of model promotion and agent services. He is a very powerful leader.”


    Then she pointed to Xue Wanyi and Qin Guan and introduced them as well, “They are a new subordinated agent and model, abination with great potential.”


    The director scanned Qin Guan from head to toe in satisfaction before shouting loudly to his staff, “Ni Dalei,e here!”


    A strong man stood up from the phones and ran over at his call. “I’ming! What’s the matter, sir?”


    Lan Jin pointed at Xue Wanyi, “New subordinated agent. They’ll be in your group from now on.”


    Ni Dalei looked gloomy. Subordinated agents are so hard to control. They know nothing, but they’re always really picky. They can’t share the good resources of thepany, and if the model does not qualify for ordinary resources, the customers are left unsatisfied.


    In his opinion, subordinated models were of little value, but unwilling to be cast away. They would share tiny jobs with their own models, but the handling charges weren’t even enough to pay for a meal.


    Thinking of this, Ni Dalei nced at Sister Xue and Qin Quan furtively.


    That nce changed his mindpletely though.


    Qin Guan was bound to attract attention as he stood there. Nothing could cover his charm. It didn’t matter if he was among ordinary people or other shining models.


    Ni Dalei reached for Xue Wanyi’s hand at once and tried to persuade her, “What a handsome boy! How can you sign a subordinate contract for him? Where is your professional conscience?”


    It was Xue Wanyi’s turn to be gloomy now. Everyone who sees Qin Guan mes me!


    She exined the situation again helplessly.


    Ni Dalei felt pity for her. He considered Qin Guan really promising for participating in a work-study program and decided to select the best jobs for him.


    In such a world, good appearances were the key to every door.


    The morning passed without any trouble.


    To celebrate her sess, Sister Xue decided to treat Professor Li and Qin Guan. After all, the logo of the New Silk Roadpany would be printed on her business card from now on.


    She drove everyone to the Agency of the Xinjiang Province in the capital, which was located on Sanlihe Road 7 in the Haidian District.


    The Xinjiang style restaurant was inside the agency. With its delicious food,rge portions, and reasonable prices, the restaurant was so popr that customers were always waiting to find a seat.


    However, the dinning area in the noisy hall was mediocre. This was amon feature for most Xinjiang style restaurants.


    It was suitable for collective dinner though, especially for meat-lovers.


    They found a table at the innermost corner and asked the waiter to order.


    Sister Xue was a frequent patron at the restaurant. She ordered without any hesitation as Qin Guan observed the restaurant.


    It looked ordinary, just like a college cafeteria. The tables and chairs were in disarray, and the window for staple food was outdoors. Customers could just grab a te and help themselves.


    The dishes were served quickly. A giant te of meat packaged in crusty pancakes was already on the table.


    Qin Guan tried a crusty pancake. Delicious!


    The crisp pancake was soaked in thick mutton soup and tasted soft and tender in his mouth.


    The Xinjiang rice that followed it was just as wonderful. Qin Guan nearly swallowed his tongue along with the carrots slices and chopped mutton.


    A kebab with rose willow sticks followed. The golden baked meat with oil drops smelled excellent on the slightly parched branches of rose willow.


    The cluster was muchrger than the kebabs Qin Guan had sold. (Actually, Qin Guan could be an unscrupulous merchant.)


    The meat was tight. Qin Guan enjoyed himself to the fullest, eating meat in thick slices and drinking wine from arge cup.


    Unsatisfied, Qin Guan finally ordered a te of fried noodles with tomatoes, celery and cutlets. It tasted sour, but the noodles stimted his appetite to the fullest.
