【？ ？ ？ ？】

[??? Did Xue Wu terminate her contract? Really? Really? The moment I saw this news, I literally jumped out of my skin!!]

[Hahahaha finally!! Xiaoxue should have been like this a long time ago. Although the Knicks were nice to Xiaoxue in the early days, but after that… everyone who saw her had to ask what she was doing.]

【Happy! This is the happiest news for me today.】

Xue Wu posted the notice on his StarNet account. At this time, the Knicks still knew nothing about it.

It was only after the news was officially made public and Xue Wu's contract termination application was sent in that the Knicks executives heard about it.

The Knicks were not mentally prepared for this.

Xue Wuzhao has been working hard and diligently in the Knicks for so many years. Apart from not liking to show off, he has made a lot of money from subscriptions.

But because of his character, the senior management always inadvertently ignored him. However, Xue Wu never complained. He would always come up with new ideas and update articles, and never cause trouble.

After a long time, the senior management thought that he had no temper at all.

Unexpectedly, Xue Wu suddenly dropped a heavy bomb.

Who would have thought that Xue Wu, who had signed with the Knicks for over a decade, would actually consider terminating his contract at this moment?

"Fake news? How is that possible?"

"How come we didn't hear anything?"

The editor-in-chief immediately called Xue Wu's editor-in-charge - the last time the other party communicated with Xue Wu was more than half a month ago, when "Tiny Moon" had just been completed. Xue Wu and the editor discussed the list after the completion for a while.

Everything was quite calm, no different from before.

"After the news about Mixia came out, didn't Xuewu ask about it?" The editor-in-chief thought for a moment and immediately asked the editor in charge.

The editor shook his head: "I haven't asked."

"Not once?"

The editor in charge still shook his head.

The editor's mind buzzed. It would have been fine if he asked, as it meant Xue Wu had expectations in his heart, but if he didn't ask a single question, it meant that Xue Wu had already made up his mind.

Xue Wu has been signed with the Knicks for so long and has always been in a front-line position. The editor-in-chief and the editor in charge also have some understanding of his personality.

It's true that Xue Wu has a good temper, but once he makes a decision, he won't change it easily.

This time the other party was obviously well prepared - they probably had already made a decision and completed all the relevant procedures before posting to inform the outside world.

"That's like a barking dog that bites." The editor snorted, "I can only talk to Xue Wu first."

…

As the editor expected, the Knicks personnel encountered difficulties with Xue Wu.

At the beginning, the editor took a conciliatory approach, talking about Xue Wu's feelings for the Knicks for so many years, saying that the author might not be able to adapt to the change of platform, and that the Knicks handled the Mi Xia incident in order to avoid losses. After the incident is over, they will definitely give Xue Wu an explanation.

Xue Wu was not moved at all. He just smiled quietly, still looking good-tempered and looking like he could bully anyone. However, even when Editor-in-Chief Ren and several other senior executives talked until their lips were almost worn out, Xue Wu still shook his head slightly.

"It's precisely because the contract period is so long that I want to change my environment."

"It just so happens that I haven't published any new books recently, so now is the most convenient time to terminate the contract."

Since appeasement failed, the editor had to resort to force.

First, it was emphasized that Xue Wu’s contract had not expired yet, and if the contract was terminated now, the compensation would not be too small.

Xue Wu was very calm and said that he had read the contract and he would pay whatever compensation the contract required.

The editor-in-chief mentioned the copyrights and cooperation that Xue Wu had signed before... Xue Wu remained calm.

As one of the Knicks' top authors, Xue Wu's contract is different from that of ordinary authors. He has more autonomy in terms of copyright. The Knicks can indeed restrict him, but the restrictions are limited.

Without Xue Wu's nod, it would be difficult for the Knicks to generate more revenue with his work.

Xue Wu has already thought about it. Even if he chooses to terminate the contract, it will not be a lose-lose situation for him and the Knicks. After all, the Knicks want to make money. If they want to stop Xue Wu, Xue Wu can also stop them in return.

The Knicks have already signed many cooperation agreements. If the cooperation cannot be realized because of Xue Wu, the Knicks will still need to pay compensation.

By this time, the Knicks were completely certain that Xue Wu's departure was a foregone conclusion and they could not stop him.

And because of Mixia, public opinion was on Xue Wu's side, so it was impossible for the Knicks to hype up "Xue Wu's backstabbing."

"Please reconsider this." The editor-in-chief put on a gentle expression again. "We can arrange for Mi Xia to come and apologize to you."

Xue Wu, who had been smiling calmly from beginning to end, finally changed his expression. He looked at the editor-in-chief and said, "Didn't you say that Mi Xia didn't have a vest? Why do you need to apologize to me again?"

The editor was suddenly speechless.

To put it bluntly, the Knicks' statement was meant to fool fools. No one would believe it, whether it was the internal authors or the readers of Mixia and Xuewu.

The information dug up by readers about Teriyaki Chicken Legs is too solid. Anyone who still believes that Mixia has no pseudonym is simply lying.

This was not the first day that the editor had dealt with Xue Wu, and his expression meant that Xue Wu was indeed angry.

He thought Xue Wu wouldn't care.
