His agent hung up the phone after he finished telling his threat.
Xu Enzhen, who was walking in front of Jian Xingsui, found that his son did not keep up. She stopped, turned around, and asked curiously: "Suisui, why don't you walk? Is something the matter?"
"Ah?"
When they asked, Jian Xingsui subconsciously wanted to bear the burden by himself. He almost lied to them that "there's no trouble" in pure reflex. He was so used to dealing with everything by himself, because he had no one to rely on for many years.
But this time, when everyone looked at him with worried eyes, Jian Xingsui's heart tightened first, and then he relaxed again. He sighed softly, adjusted his mood before speaking, " Well, my... previous brokerage company is making a little trouble for me. So I need to deal with it."
Shen Xingchen was annoyed, "What, that thing called Bankrupt Entertainment?"
Jian Xingsui nodded: "Yes."
Shen Xingchen was curious: "That company has gone bankrupt?"
Jian Xingsui shook his head this time, "No, it's not that type of problem. I.. have an ongoing dispute with them. You see, when I was filming 'Starlight'"
As they reached their car, he gave his family a brief explanation of what had happened, especially the bits about "being forced into retirement mid-way through because of a million yuan deal he didn't agree". He only mentioned about being threatened by his agent, because he really didn't want to speak too much about his previous misery.
–Because he didn't want his cherished family to be sad because of him.
But what Jian Xingsui didn't know was that when he understated his suffering, it made people feel even more distressed.
Xu Enzhen's eyes were red again. She held Jian Xingsui's hand, trembling, and said angrily, "It's too much, it's too much, how can they bully you like this! These people are really lawless, thinking that they can cover the sky with their hands1an idiom. It means being unscrupulous with any consequences, because they can cover it up with the money/power they have.!"
Shen Xingchen was originally an upright young man, so he slapped his seat's handrest after hearing it, "So that's the case! Isn't this shitty-ass company itching to get bankrupt? They dared to bully my didi, huh. They sure have guts. Tell me, what didn't you tell me that time? Are you such a helpless idiot?"
Jian Xingsui could only smile in hopes to lessen his second brother's temper, "I will just cause you trouble if I tell you."
Shen Xingchen choked.
Shen Minglang was more sensible, and he could understand the actual situation even with such limited information. He glanced at Shen Xingchen, and spoke for Jian Xingsui, "Seeing the situation of that time, that company must have finished the contract negotiation, and there was nothing Suisui could say in that contract. Basically, it's useless even if he told you. On the contrary, with your brain, maybe you will only make things worse."
Shen Xingchen said angrily, "Ge, you are too contemptuous! What can't I solve?"
Shen Minglang asked back, "Then, do you know the most effective method to minimize Suisui's loss? It's not contract termination. Instead, we should make Bankrupt Entertainment really bankrupt. Do you know how to do that?"
Once again, Shen Xingchen choked by his older brother's audacious declaration. He was speechless. He did say about making that company bankrupt, but he really didn't have a clue on how to do it.
Shen Minglang turned around to face his youngest brother, pushed his glasses. Despite him looking calm, he was still desperately trying to increase his favorability with his lovely youngest brother. He used every bit of his dignity to appear reliable, and told Jian Xingsui, "Call me if you face troubles in the future."
"Ah?"
Jian Xingsui didn't expect that. But he quickly recovered, and with a light and crisp voice, subconsciously answered, "Thank you, dage."
Shen Minglang's mouth curled into a smile.
In fact, he had always had an untold wish since childhood; that was, he wanted a well-behaved and obedient younger brother, preferably the soft and cute type he could spoil to his heart's content. As a result, life didn't give him what he wanted, and he was saddled with a bear child like Shen Xingchen. He loved Shen Xingchen, truly, but because of his brash and willful personality, it's hard for Shen Minglang to spoil him silly without a serious repercussion.
He was already resigned to his fate, but it seemed that God actually favored him. Jian Xingsui, his ideal type of a younger brother, actually appeared. And thus, he would spoil Jian Xingsui to offset his previous' life grievances.
Besides Shen Minglang, there was another person in the family who had a very similar temperament and wish – the patriarch, Shen Yong.
Shen Yong, who was currently behind the wheel, said, "Minglang, although you know more than Xingchen, you are not involved with the entertainment industry after all. I think it's better to ask Mr. Fu's parents to handle this matter, or at least let Fu Jinxiao do it. They are already experts in this field, so they should be able to handle this well."
The Fu family?
Jian Xingsui was taken aback when he heard this, and had a vague guess in his heart.
Shen Minglang didn't object. Of course he also knew that Fu Jinxiao's ability in this field surpassed his. He pushed his glasses once again, and agreed, "Yes, I have always been on good terms with Jinxiao. I will call him later to communicate this with him. Hopefully, he'll be willing to help. With his help, this will be very easy to handle."
Jian Xingsui hesitated and said, "The person you're talking about is... Actor Fu?"
Shen Minglang nodded, "Yes, your instructor in that show."
He didn't know why, but when he heard his eldest brother say "your instructor", his earlobes automatically reddened. He lowered his head shyly, thinking that it's been a long time since he heard of Fu Jinxiao. He almost thought that he would never meet his idol again in this life.
Shen Yong thought he was still worried.
"You can rest assured about this matter. It doesn't matter if you can't terminate the contract peacefully. It's just a small company. If it becomes a big deal, I can just buy it." Shen Yong spoke while driving. His imposing voice made him akin to an immovable mountain, "Our family is strong. We won't let our child be hurt by anyone."
His statement was loud and clear. He didn't seem to be angry, just stating the facts.
But it made Jian Xingsui's heart full with feelings of being protected. He was now secure and safe. It also aroused little ripples in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, during his stay with the Jian family; everytime he made a mistake, his father and brothers would always only blame him for embarrassing the Jian family again. Even if he was bullied, they would use the rhetoric of "how could someone bully you?" or with an implied meaning that he's the bully instead.
This was the first time he felt such protection, and they were on his side without any question.
Jian Xingsui was a little moved, looked at the man sitting in the front, and said softly, "Thank you Dad, I know."
Shen Yong's body froze inaudibly, and the all-powerful Mr. Shen replied softly, as if he was afraid of frightening the child, "No need to say thank you in the future, you are my son, and we are all part of the same family."
Jian Xingsui gave a small nod.
While the Shen patriarch appeared calm on the surface, his heart is also blooming. Yes, just like his eldest son, he has always been looking forward to having a caring and soft child.
It's a pity that his eldest son was indifferent by nature, and he cared more about profit even compared to himself. He did excel in business, so at least Shen Yong was glad he would have a great successor to his business empire.
Needless to say, his second son couldn't be described with the words "obedient" or "soft".
A child of Jian Xingsui's type deeply poked Shen Yong's heart. But, as a president famous for his facial paralysis, he wasn't very good at expressing his emotions. Even when his heart was on the verge of excessive ecstasy with that call of "Dad", he still looked reserved.
Xu Enzhen took Jian Xingsui's hand, "Suisui, have they been contacting you and threatening you since the end of the show?"
Jian Xingsui nodded as he replied, "I have been contacted once or twice."
Hearing this, Xu Enzhen was still sad, although it's clear she was becoming more and more murderous, "Just because of that one million? Their greediness is astounding!"
Jian Xingsui didn't want to see her mother sad, so he immediately inched closer to comfort her, "It's okay Mom, it's over."
With this, Xu Enzhen had an epiphany about his youngest son's financial condition. It must be because he had no money that he suffered this kind of humiliation by such a trash agency.
She must rectify this immediately. "Suisui, you send your card number to Mom."
Jian Xingsui was confused, "Uhm... why?"
"You haven't got a formal job yet, so Mom will transfer some pocket money for you," Xu Enzhen seemed to be worried that Jian Xingsui wouldn't take it, so she added: "Your Erge and Dage also got it."
Jian Xingsui originally wanted to refuse. But he agreed once he heard the latter sentence.
Shen Xingchen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can send it to me too."
Shen Yong added, "Now that you mention it. Xingchen, make a groupchat and bring your didi in."
They were all busy people, and had difficulty seeing each other on weekdays. Normally, they would communicate via their phones or through Auntie Wu. Since Jian Xingsui finally returned, it's only right to make a new groupchat with him included.
Shen Xingchen happily agreed, "Okay!"
He quickly created a group, the name of the group was:
Shen Minglang complained with an expressionless face, "What a cheesy name."
Shen Xingchen yelled, as it felt like his older brother was insulting his sense of aesthetic, "What's wrong with this? "
Shen Minglang ignored him, and changed the group name into:
Xu Enzhen told her husband about the new name, to which he frowned and criticized, "Too official."
This eldest son was good at everything, but he was too formal and self-interested.
Xu Enzhen thought about it as she played with her mobile phone. Then, with a mysterious smile, she changed it again into:
After everyone saw this name, no one raised any objections.
Shen Xingchen said, "It's quite literary and artistic. It's very nice."
Shen Minglang also nodded, as he felt that using a character from Jian Xingsui's name was the best choice, "Not bad."
Jian Xingsui was a little shy when he saw it, and he said softly: "Isn't it... a bit..."
"Very good." Shen Yong also agreed very much. He glanced at his wife, their relationship was already very good, but seeing this made him fall in love even deeper than before. "As expected of you. You're really good at this."
Xu Enzhen pursed her lips and smiled triumphantly, "Then it's settled."
They all reminded Jian Xingsui about sending his card number to the group. Not long after, they reached home.
Shen Yong and Shen Minglang had to go back to work, so they went to the company together. Xu Enzhen was going to the kitchen to cook, saying that a guest would be visiting in the evening, so she had to cook a good meal. As for Shen Xingchen, he was going back to his room to catch up on sleep. Jian Xingsui decided to go back to his room to take a shower.
However, just as he was taking off his clothes, his phone vibrated and a text message appeared:
[500,000 yuan was transferred to your card ending with -2436. Remaining balance: 500,100 yuan. Transferred from: Shen Xingchen.]
Jian Xingsui: "?"
Why did the pocket money come from his second older brother?
And did he even need this much pocket money for a month? Did he accidentally put a few extra zeros?
Jian Xingsui held his mobile phone in doubt for a long time, but his clothes had already been taken off, so he couldn't go to Shen Xingchen's room to ask. In the end, he decided to finish showering first before asking him about this.
Unexpectedly, just after putting down the phone and walking a few steps, he received another text message:
[1,000,000 yuan was transferred to your card ending with -2436. Remaining balance: 1,500,100 yuan. Transferred from: Xu Enzhen.]
Then, another messages appeared one after another:
[1,000,000 yuan was transferred to your card ending with -2436. Remaining balance: 2,500,100 yuan. Transferred from: Shen Minglang.]
[5,000,000 yuan was transferred to your card ending with -2436. Remaining balance: 7,500,10037,5 mil yuan is approx 1,1 mil USD. Yes, I do get a mini heart attack when converting the amount. yuan. Transferred from: Shen Yong.]
Jian Xingsui stood far away in a daze holding his phone, looking at the numbers on the screen in front of him. He even felt that he couldn't count the dizzying amount of zeros in front of his eyes.
They call this... pocket money???
Meanwhile, with Shen Minglang and Shen Yong.
The father-son duo was sitting side-by-side, a palpable spark of tension appeared between them.
They both were looking down at their own mobile phones, and they both put it away after finishing the money transfer.
Shen Yong said casually, "You transferred pocket money for Suisui?"
"Yes." Shen Minglang nodded, "Just a little."
Shen Yong nodded, "I also transferred a little."
The two looked at each other, they both saw a little distrust in each other's eyes. They both shared the same thoughts – the other party was trying to please Suisui behind their backs.
Shen Minglang stood still and tried to fish the amount his father transferred, "After all, it's the monthly pocket money, and he just came back. I didn't want to scare him, so I didn't give him too much, just enough for him to play around."
Shen Yong crossed his legs, looking as steady as a mountain, and said in a low voice, "Well, I just expressed my heart."
"..."
The car fell into silence again.
Both of them had their own calculations in their hearts, and no one believed the other's nonsense.
..............
In the afternoon–
Jian Xingsui went downstairs after receiving a call. The other party claimed that she was Fu Jinxiao's agent. Now that the car had arrived at the Shen family's house, she said she wanted to have a private chat with Jian Xingsui about the contract.
Jian Xingsui was still shocked when he received the call: "You are Ms. Wang?"
Wang Meican smiled: "What's the matter, is it surprising?"
"I just didn't expect it." As he ran downstairs to meet the older lady, Jian Xingsui said in a respectful manner, "I have heard about your name in the industry for a long time. You are a well-known gold medal agent. I didn't expect to see you today."
"It's also an honor to meet you. Come down quickly, I'll wait for you outside."
Jian Xingsui answered, "Okay."
Wang Meican felt a little emotional after hanging up the phone.
In fact, logically speaking, it's just a matter of terminating the contract. She shouldn't have to do it herself, she could delegate it to someone else. Even if the call was made at Fu Jinxiao's request, Wang Meican could definitely arrange for someone capable to do it. However, she had to do it in person, as this matter was so miraculous – that Fu Jinxiao, who has always been indifferent to anything, gave an order on behalf of another person.
Wang Meican was a little surprised at that time, mostly because Fu Jinxiao just got off the plane in the morning and was supposed to be resting. He heard her saying that he was going to pick up Jian Xingsui, and actually followed her. It was like he was afraid that someone would bully Jian Xingsui.
Jian Xingsui trotted downstairs, opened the car door and was about to say hello to Wang Meican, but when he looked up, he met another handsome face.
Fu Jinxiao was leaning lazily on the back seat of the nanny van. He was still wearing a black suit that should be worn for attending events, looking like a refined nobleman. At this moment, his handsome face was curled into a careless smile, " Oh, what a coincidence."
Jian Xingsui stood up in shock. He was used to being a trainee, and when he saw an instructor, he subconsciously straightened his back . Was it because he was too nervous, or because he forgot where he was? Thanks to that, his head almost hit the roof of the car.
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
Jian Xingsui was a little annoyed. He steadied himself, sat up, closed the car door, and said respectfully: "Mr. Fu, long time no see."
Fu Jinxiao felt a little happy when he saw this naive kid, and answered in an ambiguous tone, "It's been a long time, but I've already left 'Starlight', so you don't need to call me instructor anymore."
Jian Xingsui: "Well, since you taught me, even if I leave "Starlight", I will never forget your kindness. So I'll continue to consider you as a teacher-figure of sorts."
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Jian Xingsui nodded seriously: "Really!"
"I see..." Fu Jinxiao elongated the ending sound, and his slow voice was slightly teasing, "I honestly couldn't see your action that supported this statement. You didn't message me for over two months. You didn't give me an update of your life. Is this just another of your sweet-talk?"
Jian Xingsui was shocked. He was afraid that Fu Jinxiao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "No, no, I'm just afraid to disturb you!"
Fu Jinxiao looked at the anxious youth. He had red lips and white teeth, and his hair had really grown a lot. He looked delicate and beautiful. Now his cheeks were a little red because of his eagerness. He was cute and easy to bully, which really tempted him to tease him even further.
Wang Meican, who was watching on the sidelines: "..."
Can her artist be a human?
Was it so fun to play with a junior? Why didn't she find out about this quirk before?
Wang Meican coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Fu Jinxiao received her signal. He raised his eyebrows, and finally restrained his teasing, his voice was low and magnetic, "I'm not angry, I'm just teasing you."
Jian Xingsui breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Jinxiao saw that Jian Xingsui was not as nervous as he just saw him, and his expression became much more serious. When he became serious, his temperament was completely different from before. The actor decided to directly cut to the main topic, "Have you brought the contract?"
Jian Xingsui was startled, and hurriedly nodded. He took out the things in his arms, "I brought it."
Wang Meican took it immediately and glanced at it. As a professional agent, she saw the problem at a glance, "This contract seems to be fine, but there are many hidden traps. If you are young and inexperienced, you can easily be tricked. You didn't think so much at that time?"
Jian Xingsui nodded.
Wang Meican subconsciously glanced at Fu Jinxiao, wanting to know what the actor wanted for her to do. But the Film King didn't answer, just sat there, flipping through the itinerary for the next few days in boredom, with a calm expression and no thoughts.
This also made the agent a little discouraged.
In fact, after working together for so many years, she still can't see through Fu Jinxiao. His emotions were all over the place, while his thoughts ran deep; both which made it difficult for her to parse through. However, she used to be proud of his traits. After all, artists like him were resistant to the media's ploy. But now she felt a little annoyed – after all these years, Fu Jinxiao was still a mystery even to her.
Wang Meican continued to tentatively say to Jian Xingsui, "Then we are terminating the contract early, which is equivalent to a breach of contract, so if we talk about liquidated damages at that time..."
Before Jian Xingsui could speak, Fu Jinxiao, who was next to him, closed his schedule, " Liquidated damages?"
Wang Meican looked at him suspiciously.
Fu Jinxiao's slender legs crossed, and a smile appeared on his gentle and refined face, "Is there a need to negotiate liquidated damages for terminating a contract with a small company like Bankrupt Entertainment?"
Wang Meican had a guess in her heart of what Fu Jinxiao implied, but she still hesitated. So, she asked for a clarification, "What do you mean?"
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, "You don't know what kind of virtue this entertainment company has always relied on?"
In fact, this was an easy guess. This kind of unscrupulous agency most likely relied on the wine and sex business1he was talking about prostitution and unspoken rules. – they would pull their artist in this kind of "party", or made money by taking the liquidated damages from some young artists. All kinds of shady activities have been done by them.
Wang Meican said, a little disbelief appeared in her eyes, "Then you are going to..."
"To deal with a bandit, you must use a bandit's methods," Fu Jinxiao sat gracefully, looking very reasonable, and he glanced at Jian Xingsui, "That agent and the upper management of that agency bullies you a lot, right?"
Jian Xingsui nodded slowly, still digesting what Fu Jinxiao implied.
The car just arrived downstairs of the agency building. Fu Jinxiao pushed open the door and walked out. The tall and handsome man leaned against the car door and glanced inside. His face has a bit of rogue-ish charm to it, which was different from his usual appearance. He said slowly, a ruffian grin slowly forming on his face, "This teacher of yours wouldn't just yell for nothing. Let's go, we'll meet them and give them a taste of their own medicine."
ML: I can finally return! Out with familial drama, it's time for romance!
..............
The white light in the parking lot fell on the person. Jian Xingsui sat in the car and looked up. The man standing outside was tall and handsome. Even his cynical expression was also very handsome. At this moment, he could only feel his heart start erratically beating out of control.
For a moment, he remembered that "Starlight" battle royale, this man also said the same thing that time.
Fu Jinxiao stood in front of him when he needed help. Although the actor never made too many promises, as long as he was there, he would never let Jian Xingsui be exposed to wind and rain.
Sure enough, no matter how many times they meet again, Jian Xingsui would fall in love with him. It was meant to be, wasn't it? All butterflies chased after honey, and he chased after his idol.
Jian Xingsui came back to his senses, and after getting off the car, he picked up his mobile phone and called his agent, "Hey, Wang-ge, didn't you ask me come over? I'm downstairs now, and um... I also brought the contract. Come on, I brought my friends here this time, just to discuss the termination of the contract with you."
The middle-aged man was shocked, and almost suspected that he heard it wrong, "Do you really want to terminate the contract with us?"
Jian Xingsui answered immediately, "Yup."
"You... well, don't regret it!" This agent was not very afraid, even if Jian Xingsui brought friends over, so what? Could he invite someone actually useful? With his no-name background, it's practically impossible. The agent dared him, "Okay, then you come up!"
Jian Xingsui just hung up the phone and followed Fu Jinxiao and Wang Meican up.
There was an elevator dedicated to employees, so the journey was unimpeded. When they arrived at the meeting room on the 10th floor, his agent was still speaking with other executives. There was an inconspicuous tea stain on his clothes.
Wang Meican pushed open the door and said to the people inside, "Sorry to bother you."
Fu Jinxiao, who walked in slowly from behind, glanced at the people in the room, saw the teapot on the table and smiled slightly, "Good afternoon, everyone."
"Clatter"
Almost all the people in the room stood up after the voice fell.
Everyone was shocked. Everyone in the entertainment circle knew who Fu Jinxiao was, and they also knew the agency backing him up – Fenghua Entertainment, and specifically, the Fu Conglomerate backing them up. Standing there, it was almost like facing the King of Heaven.
"Don't be nervous, everyone please sit down." Fu Jinxiao raised his hand casually, and he pulled a chair to sit down. He was courteous from beginning to end, but his aura of calmness made everyone nervous. A shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if was just making casual talks,"I came this time for Jian Xingsui's contract termination. I heard that your company wants to talk about it. I'm here to help my junior because someone entrusted me to do it, so I brought my agent to listen to everyone's opinions.
'Someone entrusted' you?
Who on earth could do it?
This sentence came to everyone's minds at the same time, while Fu Jinxiao ignored their bewildered expression as he continued to speak, "Of course, everyone here is a reasonable person. This time, we will follow the original contract. My agent is mainly responsible for the negotiation. And I'm just here to listen, everyone can just pretend that I don't exist." "
"..."
Who dared to pretend that you don't exist?!
Despite being in Winter, the backs of all the executives were sweating. Even if Fu Jinxiao sat there without speaking, he was as dreadful and impossible to ignore as a plague god.
Agent Wang lost his previous arrogance and looked at Jian Xingsui, "Suisui, this is your friend you said you're bringing?"
Jian Xingsui nodded slightly, pretending to be unbothered.
The middle-aged agent stuttered a bit when he spoke, and smiled awkwardly, "You have a good eye, and you are getting better at meeting people and making friends."
Jian Xingsui hadn't spoken yet, but Fu Jinxiao who was next to him said slowly, "That's not necessarily true."
Agent Wang looked at him.
Fu Jinxiao's smile contained sarcasm, "Otherwise, how could he sign a contract with your company?"
The agent was very arrogant when he faced Jian Xingsui, but he was obsequious when facing Fu Jinxiao. Even if he was ridiculed, he could still keep a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Wang Meican didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so she urged, "Let's start, we are here to discuss the termination of the contract with your company this time. In other words, we propose to terminate the contract today and demand compensation from your company for: (1) the artist's mental damage fee, (2) compensation for the time and energy wasted in your company in the past two years. Oh, I also learned that you did not notify his work ahead of time, and you did not give him appropriate resources for the past two years, leading him to have to search for his own work by himself. All compensation must be paid at the same time, and the total amount is about five million yuan."
Everyone at the table was shocked!
They were gathered here today because they all wanted to educate Jian Xingsui and extort a termination fee along the way. But who knows, they were extorted instead!
Agent Wang was shocked by this turn of event,"Well, Ms. Wang, why do we have to pay these expenses? Logically speaking, it should be Suisui who breached the contract first?"
"Why do you think this artist initiated to terminate his contract in advance?" Wang Meican's tone implied something. She gave out an innocent-looking smile as she pulled out a recorder. Looking at the device, Agent Wang immediately thought it was a recording of that time he threatened Jian Xingsui for that illegal one million yuan deal. His face immediately paled at an astounding speed.
Wang Meican continued to smile, as if she was already winning this case, "This is the recording of that corridor I got from the 'Starlight' director team. As a brokerage company, you did not protect the rights and interests of your artists. And even adopting a threatening method has seriously damaged the artist's physical and mental health."
Agent Wang's face turned pale. He never thought that Wang Meican would be so powerful!
Jian Xingsui also looked at Wang Meican in shock.
Wang Meican herself seemed calm. But in fact, only she knew that there was nothing in the recorder. These were the tricks Fu Jinxiao taught her to bluff people on the way here. In terms of insidiousness and cunning, nobody could top Actor Fu. That man was on another level, and she has learned from seeing him.
Naturally, Agent Wang was frightened, and he stammered, "Y-you... this is an internal affairs of our c-company. Be-besides... besides, the original contract didn't... mention anything about his mental wellbeing. Jian Xingsui still is the voluntary party who initiated the termination of the contract, which means he breached the contract!"
"Internal affairs?" Fu Jinxiao finally spoke. He sat there lazily and curled his lips, "I remember that Li Xu'an is also from your company. So his private drinking with 'patrons' and taking care of his own 'girls' could be counted as an internal affair too1yes FJX implies LXA have BOTH sugar mommies and sugar babies. Amazing.?"
Agent Wang's face turned even paler.
Li Xu'an was the hottest artist in their agency. He could be counted as the agency's cash cow and their thickest pillar. If he was over, then the Bankrupt Entertainment would also be over.
Another person came in from outside the glass door, and it was Ji Chuan, the president of Bankrupt Entertainment. He had an ominous premonition the moment he heard that Fu Jinxiao had come to the company, and now he hurried in, running until he panted.
Fu Jinxiao turned around and saw him, smiling: "Oh, maybe the fact that President Ji took care of an outside mistress is also an internal affair."
Mr. Ji's face also turned pale in an instant, and he almost couldn't hold the door open.
Nobody in this room could hold their original arrogant appearance. Even President Ji hurriedly came over with a smile and said in a panic, "Fu-ge, what's wrong with you? You didn't even tell me when you came. Are you here to help Xingsui to terminate his contract?"
Fu Jinxiao didn't directly answered his question, "Well, but I heard from the people under Mr. Ji that there seems to be some liquidated damages to be paid?"
Ji Chuan kicked Agent Wang in the shin,"What do you mean? What liquidated damages? Normal termination of the contract doesn't involve any liquidated damages!"
The middle-aged agent got kicked and let out a cry of pain. He then endured the pain to respond, "No, yes, I just remembered, this is a normal termination of the contract. Suisui did not violate any term, and the termination contract can be signed in a while."
Fu Jinxiao glanced deeply at Agent Wang with his dark eyes, and lowered his tone until it sounded downright dangerous, "Normal?"
His voice had an implied promise of pain, and it made people's hearts tremble.
Wang Meican said next to him, still that wide smile of hers, "Did your company forget what I just said?"
Agent Wang felt like crying, and timidly glanced at his boss, "Li-liquidated damages... y-you mean... that five million yuan you mentioned...?"
Ji Chuan felt the same. He wanted to burst into tears, but he couldn't. He just used his normal operations to extort money from his small-time artist, but he didn't expect to kick an iron plate2provoking someone you shouldn't provoke. today. Looking at Fu Jinxiao in front of him, he knew that if he didn't go along with what the actor demands, there would be even more painful retaliation next time. With a twitchy, forced smile, he replied, "Of course, we broke the contract. Once the contract is signed, we will send the money to Suisui."
Fu Jinxiao smiled: "It's troubling you."
President Ji nodded with tears in his eyes, "No trouble, no trouble, this is how it should be."
Fu Jinxiao looked down at Jian Xingsui again, while talking to the president, "Since Mr. Ji also thinks it should be that way, shouldn't he apologize like an artist if they break the contract?"
President Ji was already very aggrieved in his heart; how can the boss apologize3this mentality is why you're a shitty boss. to his employee?
If he knew this would happen, he would just agree when Jian Xingsui mentioned he wanted to terminate his contract. He really lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot. President Ji felt bitter, but he still didn't dare to resist. He turned around and shook hands with Jian Xingsui, saying with deep sorrow, "Suisui, we are the ones who let you down and wronged you."
Jian Xingsui did not expect such a development. He stood up and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay."
Fu Jinxiao glanced at Agent Wang with an inscrutable expression.
The agent immediately understood, so he came over quickly and shook Jian Xingsui's hand. In fact, he felt a little guilty for Jian Xingsui in his heart, and this apology could be regarded as having a shred of his true feelings in it, "Suisui, it was me who was in the wrong before. You have terminated the contract, congratulations, I hope you can have a good home in the future..."
Jian Xingsui never thought that one day these two people would apologize to themselves in such a humble way, but still nodded and said: "It's okay, forget it."
The originally difficult thing was quickly finalized.
Jian Xingsui felt like he was in a dream when he got the contract to be terminated. When he went downstairs, he was still muttering: "Is this all right?"
Fu Jinxiao glanced at him with the corner of his eyes, "You still want to go back and beat them up?"
Jian Xingsui thought it was a joke, but who knew that Fu Jinxiao was not kidding with him. If the youth agreed, Fu Jinxiao would really do it in his own way.
Jian Xingsui shook his head quickly, and he asked again, "How did you know about the gossip between Li Xu'an and President Ji?"
Was this actor so free that he knew all kinds of hidden gossip like these?
Fu Jinxiao leaned against the railing of the elevator, with a lazy posture, and drawled, "I just guessed."
"????" Jian Xingsui's eyes widened.
Wang Meican smiled and explained, "Everyone in the circle who is not clean basically plays like this, and it is easy to guess right."
Jian Xingsui felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, and asked again: "Then, that recording...?"
Wang Meican casually shrugged, "Of course it's also a bluff. How can there be such a clear recording in that kind of place? This is just a tactic to scare them. It's their own guilty conscience making it seem real. This is what your Teacher Fu taught me."
"..."
The way Jian Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao has changed. Besides admiration and awe, he deeply felt that his previous knowledge of Fu Jinxiao was simply only the tip of an iceberg!
Back in the car, Wang Meican tactfully did not want to be the light bulb4third-wheeling, "Then I have to go back to the company, see you in two days."
Fu Jinxiao responded lightly, and said to Jian Xingsui: "My driver will pick us up. We'll go to the Shen family's house."
Jian Xingsui was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Are you going back to Shen family's house too?"
"Why, don't you know?" Fu Jinxiao's handsome face had a hint of teasing, "Mrs. Xu invited my mother to be a guest today. We'll have dinner together."
Jian Xingsui remembered that Xu Enzhen seemed to have said so at noon, but he didn't expect the guest to be Fu Jinxiao and his mother.
The youth shook his head obediently, "I don't know... are your Mother and mine close friends?"
Fu Jinxiao treated him patiently, "It's not only close friends, they are childhood friends."
Hearing that, Jian Xingsui had a guess, "So Mom wants to introduce me to Auntie?
The actor thought about it for a second, before nodding, "While your guess isn't technically wrong, I guess it's more of... Mrs. Xu wants to introduce me to you."
Jian Xingsui: "??"
