So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 232: Contract Renewal

"Come in."

As a low and hoarse voice rang out, Julie-An gently pushed the door open and gestured with her eyes for Janna to enter.

"Good afternoon, Leader Roman."

Seeing Roman-Roland half-reclining on the sofa, Janna smiled and greeted him first.

"Good afternoon, Janna—you're looking quite well today."

When Janna entered, Roman-Roland actually stood up directly. After smiling and complimenting her, he invited her to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Thank you for the compliment—Leader, you seem a bit tired today. Is it because you’ve been too busy lately?"

Roman-Roland, who was usually known for his gloomy demeanor and unsmiling expression, showed none of his usual sternness when he was in private with Janna—he was incredibly approachable.

"Maybe it's because I've been quite busy these days and forgot to take care of myself."

He stroked the slightly grown beard on both sides of his chin. Normally well-groomed, Roman-Roland truly hadn’t had time to even look in the mirror recently.

"Still, you look quite youthful."

"Haha, many people do say that—but of course, I can’t compare with young people like you."

Roman-Roland was nearly sixty years old, but judging by his appearance alone, he looked just a bit over forty. His overall style and dress were very meticulous.

"Janna, I believe you already know the reason I called you here today. Over this past year, you’ve made great contributions to the Nightingale Opera Troupe. It was your joining that allowed the troupe's influence in the industry to reach new heights—so here, I must thank you on behalf of the Nightingale Opera Troupe."

"Leader, please don’t say that. Joining the Nightingale Opera Troupe was one of the luckiest things that ever happened to me..."

Roman-Roland’s humility was within Janna’s expectations.

After all, with her popularity rising rapidly, many things about her had already spread throughout other troupes.

Among them was the inside information that Janna had only signed a one-year contract with the Nightingale Opera Troupe, and that her fixed salary and profit-sharing ratio last year weren’t particularly high.

Because of that, Janna’s dormitory mailbox had been filled with numerous invitations in recent weeks.

Besides several troupes from Turin, the invitations also included the Saint Roland Opera House and the Dawn Opera House—two theatres she had previously toured with.

Moreover, their sincerity and earnest wording... if not for the barrier posed by White Coral Academy,

those people would have already surrounded Janna’s residence completely. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.net

Now, Janna always used [Mind Allure] to hide her presence when going out; otherwise, she would be unable to move a single step.

Against this backdrop, having already learned about these developments from various channels, the Nightingale Opera Troupe also began quietly making plans to retain Janna.

"Then let’s get straight to the point. This is the contract renewal proposed unilaterally by the Nightingale Opera Troupe. I believe it’s sincere enough."

Hearing this, Janna smiled as she accepted the contract Roman-Roland handed her and began reading through the details carefully.

"Only required to perform on weekends; any work hours exceeding eight per day will be compensated at one hundred Gold Surels per hour—contract duration is one year, with a fixed monthly salary of two thousand Gold Surels, and a year-end profit share of seven percent—"

As she read the renewal contract, Janna showed no emotion on her face, but internally she was constantly evaluating the terms.

Previously, when Jarvis-Roland had tried to recruit Janna, he had offered a fixed monthly salary of five thousand Gold Surels and a five percent year-end profit share—a deal far better than her current contract of five hundred Gold Surels per month and a two percent share.

Now, although the fixed salary offered by the Nightingale Opera Troupe wasn’t as high as Jarvis-Roland’s offer, the year-end profit share was two percentage points higher—

"Indeed, they’re determined to keep me."

What impressed Janna the most was that the clause requiring her to perform only on weekends was directly written into the contract.

Moreover, the overtime pay had been raised from ten Gold Surels per hour to one hundred.

This meant that if she had to work extra hours during situations like winter break again, she would receive much more substantial compensation—

"Leader Roman, I agree to this renewal contract."

Hearing this, Roman-Roland, who had been tense over the renewal issue for some time, finally relaxed upon receiving Janna’s formal response.

Although the content of the contract wasn’t extensive, Roman-Roland had held several meetings to finalize the terms—with his son Clann-Roland, and David-Berg, who had just been promoted to senior management last year.

Initially, the Nightingale Opera Troupe had only intended to offer a five percent profit share.

But with Janna's star power being too dazzling, and competing troupes offering increasingly aggressive terms, they had been forced to raise the profit share to seven percent.

In the end, they had even prepared for the worst—if Janna still rejected the offer, they were ready to increase the fixed monthly salary by a few hundred more Gold Surels.

Although that adjustment didn’t seem huge, it was already the troupe's bottom line. No matter what, their ultimate goal was to retain Janna at all costs. They absolutely could not let her go!

"Alright, if there are no objections, let’s sign the contract."

Even though Roman-Roland had been through countless battles, he never revealed his emotions easily in front of others.

So apart from his slightly heavier breathing when Janna was reviewing the contract, he showed no outward signs.

"Shhh—"

As Janna and Roman-Roland officially signed their names on the contract cover page with feather pens, a flicker of light shimmered. Under the witness of the Law of Contracts, the document split into two, with Party A, Roman-Roland, and Party B, Janna-Roland, each holding a copy, completing the contract certification.

"Janna, now that the formal matters are settled, shall we continue discussing our future collaboration plans?"

"Of course, no problem."

After storing the renewed contract into her Thorn Bracelet, Janna had thought the meeting was over. But to her surprise, there was still more to discuss regarding future planning beyond the contract negotiation.

"Leader, the reservation time for the restaurant is approaching. Should we head out now?"

Just as Janna was waiting for the next part of the conversation, Clann-Roland suddenly pushed open the door to the meeting room, looking nervously at the two of them.
