Qin Sheng couldn't help but glance at Director Wang again before saying, "It's alright, we've reached an agreement, you don't need to pay."

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

The tension was immediately replaced by excitement.

If Fu Jingheng hadn't been waiting right there, he would have loved to hold Qin Sheng's hand and thank her properly!

Ten million to hire five teachers who have participated in compiling college entrance exam questions, oh, and also Qin Sheng, this deal is a sure thing!

The key point is that the school only contributed one million.

This is an incredible windfall!

Director Wang felt that he could already foresee Chunhe No.1 Middle School achieving an undergraduate admission rate of over 90%, a first-tier university admission rate of over 50%, and even a key university admission rate of over 15% this year!

Of course, most importantly, he saw hope for a promotion and a raise!

Hahahaha!!!

Director Wang was overjoyed and it took him a while to calm down. He then quickly started sending messages in the new group chat, preparing to build a better relationship with the big shots.

Little did they know, the big shots were also trying to get closer to him.

The two sides hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation.

Qin Sheng had already turned on the group chat's "Do Not Disturb" mode and got into Fu Jingheng's car with her mother to go home.

Just as the parent-teacher conference was in full swing at No. 1 Middle School, a shocking scandal broke out online, causing quite a stir.

Just over half an hour ago, a trending topic titled "[Shengxiao Studio, Overbearing Contract]" appeared on the pre-heating list, and then quickly climbed to the top three of the trending list within twenty minutes, and directly topped the list thirty minutes later!

Shengxiao Studio.

Xu Xiao looked at the phone in her hand that displayed the studio's official Weibo account, feeling the incessant vibrations. After a long silence, she finally let out a cold smile.

"Yuxing, very good."

Xu Xiao really didn't expect that Yuxing would be so bold.

Not only did they steal their music and release an album first, but they also dared to make a fuss about the contracts of Situ Jiu and the other two.

They seem to have forgotten who the real culprit was in fraudulently signing the contract!

Xu Xiao was still able to keep her composure, but Situ Jiu, Nie Pei, and Yan Xi, the three people involved, were so angry that their faces turned blue.

Yan Xi, who had the worst temper, was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.

However, when she thought about how she had saved up for several months and queued for several months to buy this "Qingyan" series phone, she managed to control her impulse.

She took a deep breath to suppress her anger, then turned to Situ Jiu and Nie Pei and asked, "What do we do now?"

Situ Jiu frowned and asked Xu Xiao, "How about the three of us post a Weibo message saying that we signed this contract voluntarily and that it has nothing to do with the studio?"

Before Xu Xiao could answer, he shook his head and said, "No way."

Now they are artists under Shengxiao Studio. Even if they say that they signed the contract voluntarily, the public will only think that they made the statement under pressure from the studio.

Instead of clarifying the situation, it will only subject the studio to further public criticism.

This is exactly the same principle as them proving yesterday that Qin Sheng is Mo Shang.

It simply won't work.

Xu Xiao was also wondering what to do.

This matter, while difficult to resolve, is actually not that difficult.

Similarly, as long as it can be proven that Qin Sheng is indeed Mo Shang, the public's acceptance of this "overbearing contract" will be much higher given the relationship between the four of them.

Furthermore, Shengxiao Studio now has more than just Situ Jiu and three other artists under its management; it also has eleven signed artists. As long as their contracts are released, it can prove that Shengxiao Studio does not force artists to sign unfair contracts.

The real challenge is how to steer this matter towards Yuxing.

—The other party has already trampled on their studio like this. If they don't retaliate, they won't be able to continue to establish themselves in the entertainment industry.

And then there's the person who started this whole thing—Jian Ze.

That's right.

Jian Ze was the one who caused the "unfair contract" incident.

Based on the information Xu Xiao has received and her own analysis, this whole thing was orchestrated by Jian Ze in collusion with Yuxing Entertainment.

Back when Jian Ze wanted to join Shengxiao Studio, he pestered Xu Xiao for quite some time. In the end, Qin Sheng had Xu Xiao print out a copy of the contract between Situ Jiu and the other two, and had Jian Ze sign it, which scared him off.

Afterwards, Jian Ze threw the contract on the ground, and then the waiter cleaned it up and put it in the trash can.

Actually, it should have been torn up on the spot, but Xu Xiao was too busy chasing Guan Shaoning and forgot about it.

It must have been Jian Ze who picked it up back then and kept it hidden until now before taking it out to attack their studio.

Of course, with Jian Ze's current abilities and influence, he couldn't have made such a big fuss in such a short time; it was mainly Yu Xing who was behind it.

As for their purpose... it's naturally to strike at Shengxiao Studio and the Hidden Group.

The album by Situ Jiu and his two friends is set to be released the day after tomorrow, and it's already in the pre-release phase. But with this whole mess, the pre-release effect isn't as good as expected, and the subsequent sales will definitely suffer a significant blow.

So they had to resolve this before the record was officially released.

While Xu Xiao lowered his eyes in thought, Guan Shaoning was also pondering.

He looked at Situ Jiu and the other two and asked, "Do you still have the contracts you signed to pay the penalty for breach of contract, as well as the original contracts you signed with Yuxing?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and it was Situ Jiu who reacted first: "Yes, they're all with me."

Guan Shaoning: "Give it to me."

Situ Jiu hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that it was Guan Shaoning who had negotiated the termination of the contract between them and Yuxing, and that the termination contract was signed in the end, plus that the other party was introduced by Qin Sheng, he felt more at ease.

After glancing at everyone, he went back to his residence and pulled out a stack of contracts, which he then gave to Guan Shaoning.

That's right, it's a stack.

Each of the three individuals received a copy of the initial two contracts and the third termination contract, resulting in a total of nine contracts.

Guan Shaoning had seen all of these contracts.

In terms of content, there are no major problems.

However, contracts in the entertainment industry are bound to have traps, and given that the three members of the "Hidden" group were tricked into signing the contract, it's reasonable to find some problems.

Guan Shaoning then took it aside to study it carefully.

Yan Xi suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran back to her residence and searched the entire room, finally finding an old cell phone.

Then I plugged it in, turned it on, and quickly started searching.

Ten minutes later.

"Found it!" Yan Xi exclaimed excitedly.

She quickly took two photos of the old phone screen, then handed the new phone with the photos to Xu Xiao: "These are the text messages Xiao Sheng sent me when I terminated my contract with Yuxing, and the records of my transfers to Yuxing. See if they're useful."

That is certainly useful.

Although it cannot fundamentally solve this problem, it at least proves that Qin Sheng had a close relationship with the three hidden people—otherwise, he wouldn't have transferred 300 million yuan to them for no reason.

Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and then had an idea.
