Chapter 500: The interesting PD Rao

The delicate cups of porcelain went crushing hard the moment they touched the tiled floor some of them shattered. The hot tea flew upward and spilled on Shi Li’s legs and she winced in pain. It was undeniable how excited Shu Li was to see Haena so up close because even with the sting from the burn of the hot tea which was making her frown she still kept giving nervous glances to the celebrity in the room.

"Shu Li." Chi Lian called in a worried voice.

"I am sorry boss, I am so sorry, I will clean this up immediately." Her voice sounded teary.

"Go and take care of your legs first, pass by a hospital and see if any damage has been done."

"No boss I can clean, my legs are fine." Shu Li insistently picked up broken pieces of the cups.

"I am ordering you." Chi Lian told her. "If you are scared that I am going to fire you don’t be. So go to a hospital and have your legs looked at by a professional doctor. I expect to see the doctor’s report in one hour. Bandit contact someone from the cleaning department to come and clean this up."

"You have a deactivated cleaning robot in the bottom cabinet of your drawer." Bandit replied.

She stood up, found the cleaning robot and activated it. It was just like the one they used at home but she had forgotten that this one was here.

"Little sister what a cute cleaning robot, it looks like a bumble bee. Are those eyes?" President Qin bent over the chair and looked at the cleaning robot curiously. "Can it clean up broken glass?"

"Yes to everything." She replied.

"Where did you buy it? I want to buy two, one for me and another for my parents. My mother will love it. What is that bandit thing too?" She was curious about almost everything in Chi Lian’s office. Many of these things were new to her eyes.

With Shu Li gone Chi Lian did not bother to call in the other secretary to bring in tea. Instead she served them cold milk from the fridge in her office, coffee and some cinnamon cookies from home. The cups and hot coffee in a flask were from her storage.

"The sugar content is the cookies is not high and the milk won’t make you fat, I promise." She assured Haena who would not even look in the direction of the tea and cookies.

"Really?" Haena asked unsurely.

"Really." Chi Lian assured her as she led by example, taking the first bite.

The cookies smelled freshly baked and they had that sweet intoxicating smell which would make one’s stomach rumble in protest. They all could not resist reaching out for some.

"Delicious." President Qin commented.

"Bandit call Mr. He from the legal department and tell him to come to my office with the contract we discussed. Call Producer Rao as well. Tell him to come immediately no matter what he is doing." Producer Rao was a cranky middle aged man that was not intimidated in the slightest bit by her. Everyone else worried about her opinions and did their best to show her how hard working and innovative they were but never him. He respected her but he did not jump when she said how high. His work ethic and talent however were admirable and envied among his colleagues. He was the highest paid producer she had, having been poached from HTV after the new year.

"Little sister, will my Haena be working with PD Rao? The cranky kraken of television!!"

"Yes." Chi Lian laughed lightly at the nickname PD Rao earned himself in the media and entertainment world. "I know he is foul tempered but he is good at his job. You know that with him in charge of the show its going to be amazing."

"I know but I am worried that he will work her to the bone. He has another nickname you know, Mr. perfect, because he will not accept anything less than what he considers perfection. That’s why he doesn’t shoot variety shows anymore, especially the live ones. He would insult the stars on live camera mercilessly with his sharp mouth and cause the faint hearted ones to cry or quit. Time came when invitations for variety shows were sent out to entertainment companies from HTV and everyone would first ask who the Producer was. If they heard the name Rao it would be an instant rejection. That’s why he was pushed to normal shows like producing the news where he can’t make a fuss. I can’t believe you dug him out from HTV and put him back on a live show, you will have grey hairs soon."

Chi Lian touched her hair and president Qin laughed at her. "Little sister, I should buy you a box of hair dye."

"Stop it." Chi Lian raised her hand playfully as if she was about to hit her.

The doors slid open and PD Rao entered first with his signature bed hair which always looked uncombed. Lawyer He followed closely behind him.

"Goodmorning CEO." PD Rao squeezed himself into the sofa closest to Haena. "You have aged a bit." He commented and president Qin frowned and she looked at Chi Lian as if to say, "See he has started."

"PD Rao, let’s be on our best behavior, I want Haena to sign a contract with me. If you scare her away I will not be too happy."

He snorted and took a cookie from the table.

"Lawyer He, let’s begin, please distribute the copies of the contract you have drafted so far."

As Haena and president Qin read through the contract, PD Rao ate all the cookies which seemed to make Haena angry so Chi Lian brought more.

"Little sister." President Qin put down the contract and looked at Chi Lian, "My Haena is worth more than five hundred thousand yuan per episode."

"Big sister," Chi Lian replied, "We are shooting twenty four episodes and that means she gets twelve million for the entire season. On top of that we will be covering all her make up, outfits and accessories expenses while she is with us. I think five hundred thousand is just enough."

"I think it’s too much." PD Rao interfered with his own opinion. "We do not know yet how the first season is going to perform. Keep in mind that if this season is successful then we will shoot another one next year and the year that follows. It would be better to start small, give her Fifty or one hundred thousand yuan per episode for the start and we will see how to increase her salary as the show progresses."

For some reason Chi Lian felt the urge to hide under the table and laugh. Pd Rao must really be hated by celebrities for his eccentricities and attitude toward them. He had not even slashed the suggested salary into half, he was suggesting to take out eighty percent of it.

"Hey," president Qin dragged that word out, "PD Rao, are you the lawyer or is it Mr. He over here?"

"Are you my nemesis?" Haena yelled at him. "Are you the enemy of my progress? How does my salary concern you?"

Very good, Chi Lian thought, Haena had fire and she wanted a judge with fire. This whole time she had been too quiet for her liking.

"CEO Chi put it in the contract that PD Rao should not shout at me, speak to me dismissively, comment on my salary, pick his ears next to me, talk to the media about me."

"Wow, should I just not breathe around you?" Pd Rao mocked Haena with the tone of his voice.

"Yes." Haena fired back. "Hold it in until you explode like a balloon."
