Finally, Jun looked more presentable even though he hadn't showered yet. In the restroom, he could see his reflection after waking up, and he almost gasped in surprise when he saw how messy his brown hair was. At that moment, he finally understood that it was his hair that looked like a bird's nest in Zhang Hei's eyes.
Zhang Hei was also right about the drool marks on his cheeks, and he felt embarrassed before finally washing his face and also trying to smooth his hair with his fingers. Of course, he didn't look perfect when he finally met Zhang Hei's secretary as well as someone from the legal team, but he assumed he didn't look that bad.
"So, here is the contract, Mr. Luo," Zhang Hei's secretary, Lu Ran, broke the silence in the room as she pushed a document toward where Jun was sitting next to Zhang Hei.
It seemed that Zhang Hei didn't plan to say much during this contract signing procedure, and he just crossed his arms in front of his chest while leaning his body against the back of the sofa. When Jun glanced at him, he could even see how the man had his eyes closed.
However, Jun chose to ignore the man and focused his attention on the documents in his hand. "So, the contract is one year?" He then asked the secretary.
"That's right," answered the secretary. "Boygroup projects in this country usually only take one year to complete, and that's why we're offering you a one-year contract, Mr. Luo."
The question was answered, but for some reason, Jun looked dissatisfied. "I will only work as an idol for a year, will not sell my body or organs. However, I was told that I would be able to pay my father's debt within a month. Is that even possible? What if I still can't make enough money after the contract period ends?" He subconsciously asked that question, and Lu Ran frowned in confusion after hearing his curiosity.
This time, Zhang Hei finally opened his eyes before glancing at the young man sitting next to him. "We can discuss that matter later," he replied.
Even if Zhang Hei gave him a reply, Jun still seemed unsatisfied as he turned toward the black-haired man. "I disagree! You told me that I would be able to pay my father's debt within a month, but I would only be working as a newbie idol, and there's no guarantee that I would be able to make that much money! Maybe I should just go find John and work at his bar for ten years until I can pay my father's debt, right?" He angrily questioned Zhang Hei.
Zhang Hei finally straightened up as he looked at the young man coldly. "I told you that there would be a solution to your problem, but we can talk about that later! Why are you bringing up John in this conversation? Just sign the contract so we can start working today!" He scolded the young man.
"I won't sign the contract!" Jun's answer was quite rude this time. "I won't sign the contract if you can't guarantee that I will be able to pay my father's debt as quickly as possible!"
"..." It seemed like Zhang Hei was trying to hold back his rage, and that was why he didn't immediately refute what the young man had just said.
Silently, he glanced at his secretary and also the man from the legal team, and both of them seemed to be enjoying the show presented before them. Maybe they would bring melon seeds soon if the show continued.
Finally, Zhang Hei cleared his throat before speaking to the two, "Just wait outside for a moment. I need to teach this silly bunny a lesson."
"Silly bunny? Lesson?" Lu Ran parroted in confusion, and it seemed like her head was coming up with some adult scenario as her face slowly turned red.
Unfortunately, Zhang Hei didn't seem to realize that his secretary had a wild imagination in her head at the moment, and that was why he could calmly nod before gesturing for the two to leave his office.
This time, Lu Ran reacted quickly, and she quickly got up from the sofa before pulling the confused-looking man who had come with her to her boss's office for the contract signing procedures. The man didn't seem to understand the situation, and he could only follow Lu Ran blankly to leave the room.
The office door was closed by the secretary, and now there were only Zhang Hei and Luo Yuan Jun in the room. Zhang Hei looked very tired as he used his hand to massage his aching temples.
"What lesson will you teach me? Are you going to grab a stainless steel ruler to slap my ass or something?" Jun irritably questioned the long-haired man.
"I won't use a stainless steel ruler to slap your butt. I'll just use the palm of my hand to do it."
"PERVERT!" Jun almost screamed when he heard Zhang Hei's answer, and he once again increased his guard around the man.
Zhang Hei looked even more tired, and he took a deep breath for a moment before saying, "You're new to the industry, and I can't guarantee that you'll be able to make enough money to pay off your father's debt within a month since you're still a newbie. However, if you want to quickly pay off the debt, then I will let you borrow my money."
"What?" Jun asked in disbelief. "So, when you confidently told me that I would be able to pay my father's debts soon, you meant I would need to borrow money from you? Do you think I'm stupid? I don't want to dig up another piece of land just to bury the hole my father dug before he died!"
"But, that's the only way you can escape from those thugs," Zhang Hei answered.
Jun's face turned crimson from anger, and he looked like he was about to explode as he replied, "I might be able to get away from those thugs, but then I'll have to deal with another thug here! Do you think you're better than those thugs?"
