The lights were blinding.
Yuwei was actually very dissatisfied with the full-term contract offered by Penguin.
Because some of its highly professional clauses were beyond her understanding.
Yet, Penguin's bottom line was that she had to decide whether to sign the contract before the finals.
If she didn't sign, Yuwei believed she could still debut, but there would be no resources for her afterward.
If she signed, there was a significant possibility she might fall into a contractual trap, though she had already handed over a draft of the contract to a lawyer she trusted for interpretation.
That lawyer disclosed that the contract contained a few ambiguous clauses, meaning they could be interpreted differently under legal terms.
However, Yuwei had already run out of options. She had no company backing her, no professional legal or negotiation team. She couldn't afford to wait it out, and after Wan Kai guaranteed her, she reluctantly signed the contract.
