Wen Wan followed her around the building and said doubtfully, "Sister Wang, it's just a contract, why don't we just find a place to do it?"

"It's not me who wants to talk to you, it's Mr. Li from our company who wants to talk to you in person." Wang Nan looked at her expressionlessly and explained to her softly.

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows in confusion. The company's CEO personally negotiated the contract with her? Perhaps he didn't want to let her go? Never mind. Why think so much? When the enemy comes, we will fight them. When the water comes, we will block it with earth.

Soon the two of them arrived at the door of the general manager's office. Wang Nan reached out and knocked gently. After receiving a response from the person inside, he took Wen Wan in and said, "Mr. Li, I brought Wen Wan here."

Wen Wan looked at the man in front of her calmly. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, a little overweight, but his eyes were shining like an eagle, and he looked very shrewd.

President Li quickly stood up and looked at Wen Wan and said, "Hurry up and sit down. You are a great contributor to our company. We all rely on you."

Wen Wan couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Why did he put such a tall hat on her right away?

She acted as if the company would go bankrupt without her. Xingyan said it wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. If she said that the company relied on her alone to make money, she really didn't believe it at all. It seemed that she didn't intend to let her go...

Although she had figured out the company's intention, she remained calm and said nothing. She just sat quietly on the stool in front of her, waiting to see what was happening.

"You go out first. I want to have a good talk with Wen Wan." After seeing her sit down, Mr. Li gave Wang Nan a direct order. Wang Nan nodded and walked out of the office, not forgetting to close the door.

Mr. Li also sat down in his seat again, looked at the person in front of him, and said seriously, "I know you are here today for the contract, so I won't waste any more time. Let's get straight to the point."

"You've been with our company for so long, you can be considered a veteran. We've nurtured you over the years, and our cooperation has always been very pleasant. I still very much hope you can renew your contract. Of course, the company will definitely not treat you unfairly. Take a look at this contract."

After he finished speaking, he pushed the contract on the table forward. Wen Wan took the contract and silently opened it to check the contents.

She almost laughed out loud when she saw the revenue company taking a 70% cut. The original owner had been at Xingyan for five or six years, and the revenue company had always taken 80%. Logically, the agent would have taken another 20-30%, but Wang Nan, feeling sorry for her, had only taken 5%. That's why the original owner had always been able to get 15%; otherwise, she would have been exploited to death.

Given her status back then, it's understandable that her pay was low, but now her net worth has increased tenfold, and they only gave her a 10% pay raise. And she still has the nerve to say things like "the company won't treat you unfairly"?

She pushed the contract back expressionlessly. "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. After careful consideration over the past few days, I still plan to terminate my contract with the company. I'll transfer the liquidated damages to the company's account when I return. I wish the company all the best in its future development."

After she finished speaking, she was about to get up and leave, but Mr. Li refused to let her go. Instead, he continued, "Are you dissatisfied with the profit share? Let's discuss the salary."

"No matter what, the company still hopes you'll stay. After all, whether as a person or as a company, you should never forget your roots. Your contributions to the company have always been evident to everyone."

Wen Wan raised an eyebrow calmly. Wasn't the phrase "One should never forget one's roots" meant to imply that she was abandoning her old employer just because she became famous? Her contributions to the company were obvious to all, so why hadn't she been offered a new contract in years?

Wanting her to stay but not wanting to spend money, how could such a good thing happen? However, even if she was willing to spend money, she would not stay, because Xingyan's resources are too limited, and they are all piled up on the old people at the top, and they are unwilling to properly train new people.

Many members who were extremely popular during their limited group period became completely obscure after returning to their original company after disbanding. Why?

Isn't it because the company is not taking action, not thinking about long-term development, and only thinking about making quick money, and frantically consuming the popularity of the artists? It would be strange if they are not obscure.

Furthermore, the only ones who suffer in this situation are the artists, because if things get messed up, they can just train new ones and use the same method to promote new talent. The company will always make money, but it will be difficult for the artists to recover after being delayed. This is the profit-driven business model, never thinking about a win-win situation, only about their own success.

Starlight, on the other hand, is completely different. Why has it managed to remain at the top of the industry for so long? The answer is that Starlight takes a long-term view, has long-term plans for each artist, and allocates resources to the right people. This ensures that everyone earns money, which helps them achieve further success.

Wen Wan insisted, "Mr. Li, I'm truly sorry. I'm very grateful for the company's care for me over the years. The company's current situation doesn't align with my future plans, so I hope to terminate the contract peacefully. Don't worry, I won't reduce the liquidated damages by a single cent."

What she meant by saying this was that she would not deduct a penny from the company, and that the amount written in the original contract would be the amount. However, when these words fell into Mr. Li's ears, they sounded different, not only different, but even had a different meaning.

Wen Wan owed the crew tens of millions of dollars in debt before. Now that she can say this, she must have paid it off. The penalty for breach of contract in the company contract must be around 10 million.

She said it so calmly, which means she must have earned more than this in the past year, and she can also take advantage of Zhou Ziheng's popularity. She is simply a cash cow among cash cows. How could the company let her go?

Mr. Li flashed a cunning smile and silently began to use moral blackmail. "The termination fee has a price, but the company's friendship with you is priceless. You're so resolute in terminating the contract. Aren't you afraid that people will say you have no conscience?"

Wen Wan frowned as she listened, her patience finally running out. She decisively retorted, "Why do you all say I have no conscience? Don't even talk to me about friendship. If there really was friendship, would the company have refused to give me a female lead role in all these years?"

"The company wants to keep me because of money or friendship. You know it in your heart. If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Is there anything wrong with me choosing a better way out for myself?"

"Besides, it's not like I'm not paying you. I already said I wouldn't pay you a penny less for breach of contract. We're in a partnership. If I run away without paying you, you can say I'm heartless, but I'm acting according to the contract. If you still want to say anything, I'll just tear your mouth apart!"

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back. Mr. Li stared at her back fiercely, almost fainting from anger. "Okay, you don't want to renew the contract, right? If you can't have it, then destroy it!"
