Chapter 435 Are the Bargains Enough for Terminating the Contract?

The hashtag claiming Xu Yue's mother was a mistress disappeared, while the hashtag #Having a wedding but not registering the marriage, registering the marriage but not having a wedding, which one is the original wife# became a trending topic.

Netizens engaged in heated discussions on this trending topic.

When Shen Xuewei saw the post, she clicked in to take a look. It was all about arguing between two women about which one was the original wife.

But one person remained completely hidden.

Shen Xuewei thought to herself that if the man hadn't been so indecent, seducing two women at the same time and deceiving one after the other, this problem wouldn't have existed.

He deceived both sides, betraying two women in the process, and in the end, he disappeared without a trace...

The day's trending topics were dominated by Xu Yue's lengthy clarification.

Shen Xuewei, posing as a concerned netizen, revealed that Sister Zhen bribed Xu Yue's uncle to help others secure roles, and also hired online trolls to spread rumors that Xu Yue was a prostitute.

Heyu Century remained completely silent on Xu Yue's matter, offering no response whatsoever.

However, when Zhen Jie and Bai Yimo were dragged into this, Heyu Century quickly issued a statement to refute the rumors.

When Shen Xuewei saw Heyu Century's denial, she was accompanying Xu Yue after filing a police report.

Xu Yue lowered her eyes to look at the news on Weibo, specifically the homepage of Zhou Huainan's studio.

Zhou Huainan, whom she had been unable to contact, announced through his studio that he had broken up with her.

When she saw the message, she was calmer than she had imagined.

She had just denied the rumors, saying she didn't work as a hostess and even went to the police station to file a report, when Zhou Huainan suddenly appeared and said they had broken up.

Many people online have been analyzing and speculating that Zhou Huainan broke up with her because he knew she used to work as a hostess and felt disgusted by her past.

It's not that breaking up is impossible, but breaking up now would be like kicking someone when they're down.

The black water rushed towards her, and even after it receded, its effects remained.

His response came too late. Several brands that had previously collaborated with her claimed, when netizens inquired, that their collaborations with her had expired and would not be renewed.

The forest incident, which she had always considered a trauma during high school, was revealed by a former close friend.

Among the numerous trending topics, she can now click on them without any reaction.

The online backlash against her continues unabated, and the negativity directed at her has not subsided.

Xu Yue is certain that her acting career will never be able to recover.

Because capital doesn't need someone who has lost their value; they can always bring out someone more valuable than her.

Disappointed? Sad?

some.

But it doesn't seem that important.

Xu Yue lowered her eyes, turned her head to look at Shen Xuewei, and there was a hint of apology in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Vivi, I can't keep the room I promised to give you."

"If I can't film anymore, I won't even be able to pay my property management fees. What's more, I want to terminate my contract with Heyu Century, and if I lose the lawsuit, I'll have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages..."

Shen Xuewei looked ahead, "It is indeed necessary to terminate the contract, but..."

She turned to look at Xu Yue and said in a light tone, "But who said we have to pay them a penalty for breach of contract? Dream on!"

Xu Yue was taken aback. "But the contract states that I have to pay a penalty for breach of contract."

Shen Xuewei took her arm and walked towards the car by the roadside. "It's okay. I'll go with you to Heyu Century tomorrow to discuss the contract termination. I said there's no need for a penalty fee, and there's no need. Trust me, leave everything to me."

Xu Yue nodded emphatically: "Yes, I'll listen to you."

The following afternoon, Shen Xuewei, accompanied by the bodyguards she had hired, led Xu Yue toward the Heyu Century building.

The staff below were about to stop them when they received a phone call and were allowed to go up.

The group headed straight to the office of the CEO of Heyu Century. The CEO, who was over fifty years old, was already sitting leisurely at the reception table, pouring tea and waiting for the two to arrive.

Seeing the two appear at the door, he smiled warmly and invited them inside.

"Oh, two rare guests! You've finally arrived."

He was alone in the office. Shen Xuewei gave a few bodyguards a look, telling them to guard the door, before she and Xu Yue went in and sat down in front of the CEO of Heyu Century.

"Mr. Pang, I apologize for disturbing you. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Shen, and I am a friend of Xu Yue. We came here today to discuss the termination of the contract with you."

Mr. Pang was still all smiles, looking just like an ordinary old man.

However, the ability to lead Heyu Century for twenty years and weather all the storms is not something an ordinary person can do.

Shen Xuewei always maintained an extremely vigilant attitude when dealing with old guys like this, never daring to let her guard down.

A person with such a cunning mind can extract a lot of information from a single sentence.

Shen Xuewei understands this type of person very well because she belongs to this category herself.

However, Mr. Pang has lived several decades longer than her, so he's probably much more experienced than her.

He personally poured tea for Shen Xuewei and Xu Yue, saying, "Young people, being too hasty is no good. Try this tea I just bought?"

Since things had come to this, it wouldn't be polite to refuse. Shen Xuewei picked up her teacup, dipped her lips in it, and quickly put it down.

Xu Yue, on the other hand, didn't dare touch the cup of tea at all from beginning to end, nor did she say a word.

Shen Xuewei said that her task for today was to come here.

No need to say anything, Shen Xuewei will handle everything.

After drinking the tea, Shen Xuewei politely complimented it, saying, "Good tea."

Then, they immediately got straight to the point: "Mr. Pang, you must know perfectly well why we're here."

"Xu Yuelai and I terminated our contracts with your company."

Mr. Pang sipped his tea leisurely, "Young man, you're too hot-tempered, you're a bit too hasty."

He put down the cup and finally looked Shen Xuewei in the eye.

“Miss Shen has good courage, I admire that. If you want to terminate the contract, that's fine, but…”

"You've come straight to my office like this, so it seems you have no intention of paying the breach of contract penalty. You're being direct, so I'll be direct too. Let's see if you have enough leverage to cover her penalty."

Shen Xuewei handed him the spare phone she had prepared.

"Is this enough?"

The data on the phone was transferred by Shen Xuewei from Sister Zhen's phone. President Pang glanced at it briefly but didn't pay much attention to it.

His smile remained unchanged, and he casually shook his index finger.

"not enough."

The moment the words left his mouth, a video was sent.

Shen Xuewei smiled and opened the video, then placed her phone in front of him.

"Mr. Pang, do you think adding this video is enough?"

As Mr. Pang watched the protagonist in the video, his previously relaxed demeanor finally changed.

The protagonist in the video is embracing two beautiful women on either side of him in an intimate pose. Although the video was filmed at night, you can still vaguely make out the man's face. It is Pei Yi'an, the company's number one cash cow.

The person taking the photos was extremely discreet, following the camera all the way to the underground parking lot.

They were probably too impatient; as soon as they got in the car, the three of them couldn't wait to hug each other and start kissing...

Pei Yi'an is only 25 years old this year. He originally came from a boy band and has a huge following, including many female fans.

After returning to China, she participated in the filming of many TV movies and variety shows, and has numerous endorsements, making her an undisputed rising star.

If this video gets leaked, Pei Yi'an's career will be ruined by at least 90%.
