Chapter 71

MZ Group's entertainment company is making a comeback, poaching a veteran agent from the industry and also recruiting extensively.

The contract with Xin Qing was agreed upon. The contract terms were not too harsh, giving Xin Qing plenty of room and leeway.

Chu Muchao also sent someone back to Xin Qing's original company to discuss terminating her contract.

Xin Qing was initially a little scared.

Even though Chu Muchao had the Chu family as her backing, she was a woman and too young. She was afraid of being retaliated against by people from her former company.

When Chu Muchao first suggested that someone accompany her to discuss terminating the contract, Xin Qing politely declined.

Chu Muchao reminded her.

"If you want to resolve this once and for all, you can't just think about parting amicably and having a way out in the future."

Xin Qing explained, "But we'll still be in the same circle in the future... and I'm currently embroiled in scandals..."

"The company has an obligation to do public relations and clear up the rumors for you." Chu Muchao flipped through the contract in Xin Qing's hand and pointed to the clauses on it for her to see. "They failed to fulfill their responsibilities and did not provide you with resources and a platform, which is also their breach of contract first."

Xin Qing: "But they all say it's my problem. My seniors at the company also told me that although it's written in the contract, the company has the final right of interpretation. Even if the company wants to freeze me out and not give me any work, there's nothing I can do."

Chu Muchao smiled and said, "What others tacitly agree on isn't necessarily reasonable or legal. If you want to resolve these troubles quickly, listen to me and cut the Gordian knot."

Xin Qing hesitated for a moment, but quickly compromised and chose to believe Chu Muchao.

"I trust you. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

After Chu Muchao and Xin Qing had a clear discussion about terminating the contract, Chu Muchao let Xin Qing leave with his people.

Before leaving, Chu Muchao remembered to add one more piece of advice: "Don't reveal that you've already found another company. Just improvise as you go. Be assertive and don't be afraid."

Xin Qing nodded solemnly and seriously: "Okay, I understand."

The person Chu Muchao found was the team leader of the group's legal department, who had experience with such cases.

Before Xin Qing arrived, Chu Muchao had already communicated with the head of the legal department and informed him of the evidence Xin Qing possessed.

Chu Muchao said, "You can ask Wu for whoever you want to take. My bodyguards are fine too. What I want is for you to be firm and get things done without suffering any losses."

After Xin Qing left, the system asked.

[You could ask Ms. Mu Mu why she told Xin Qing not to reveal her intention to join your company? If you have someone from MZ Group handle the contract termination, it won't be difficult for them to find the connection if they investigate.]

Chu Muchao: It's okay, I just didn't want it to be exposed so quickly. We can announce it after the contract is successfully terminated.

The system still doesn't understand.

Given MZ Group's current status, a small entertainment company can't make much of a difference.

Chu Muchao: ...cough.

Actually...

She had a feeling that Xin Qing's contract termination and signing with an entertainment company under the MZ Group might make her a trending topic.

【^-^ So she caught her boyfriend cheating!】

Chu Muchao: That's really rude! The system that overheard my thoughts has no right to complain!

【^-^】

-

Xin Qing's contract termination negotiations went smoothly.

The exorbitant termination fee of one billion was ultimately settled for a few million.

The head of the legal department recorded the entire process and ultimately required the other party to sign a termination agreement to avoid future problems.

When the team leader returned to report, he brought his voice recorder and the termination agreement.

The reason and time of contract termination are clearly stated above.

Chu Muchao handed Xin Qing the contract he had prepared, along with the termination agreement, and extended his hand to her.

"Congratulations, you are free from today onwards."

Xin Qing pursed her lips and grasped Chu Muchao's outstretched hand: "Thank you, President Chu."

"polite."

Chu Muchao sat down and gestured for the other person to sit down as well.

“You can take the contract back and review it at your leisure. If you have any questions, you can come to me or the agent I’ve assigned to you, Amy.”

Xin Qing's slightly lowered eyelids suddenly lifted, her eyes wide open and bright.

"Amy? Is this the Amy I know?"

Chu Muchao smiled and said, "Probably. She was specially poached. The company is still hiring. If you have any requirements for an assistant or any recommendations, you can talk to Amy."

"Very good!"

Amy is known for being incredibly talented in the entertainment industry!

Their public relations skills are impressive, their ability to select resources is exceptional, and their character is beyond reproach.

Having been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, she has mentored countless artists and stars, and not a single one of them has ever turned back to criticize her. They all thank Amy for bringing them into the industry!

Xin Qing couldn't wait to sign her name. She turned to the last page of the contract and reached for the pen on the table.

Chu Muchao, holding his phone, stopped her.

"You should read the contract carefully first, and don't sign it rashly."

Xin Qing was stunned for a moment before she finally realized what was happening.

Chu Muchao was reminding her that the contract terms had been revised and were not entirely the same as those agreed upon last time.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu. May I watch it here?" Xin Qing asked.

Chu Muchao gestured for him to leave: "Do as you please, it's fine."

The contract promised Xin Qing excellent benefits, with no possibility of her suffering any losses or being taken advantage of. It even explicitly stated that there would be no misconduct and that she would not be required to accompany clients for drinks or social events.

Xin Qing quickly read through all the content, her eyes red as she looked at the young woman sitting in the boss's chair opposite her.

She was looking at a document with her eyelids slightly lowered. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes shone with a soft and warm light in the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Xin Qing signed her name and handed it back with both hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu. You won't regret signing me!"

"Okay." Chu Muchao smiled back. "No rush to work, take your time to rest and recuperate. Good luck."

Xin Qing: "Yes, I will!"

-

That night.

News of Xin Qing's contract termination with her former company spread.

Not long after, it was revealed that Xin Qing had signed with a smaller and less well-known entertainment company.

However, it was soon discovered that this smaller and less well-known entertainment company belonged to the MZ Group.

In the early hours of the morning, the topic of Xin Qing's contract termination, along with the name "Chu Muchao," once again became a trending topic.

#TheYoungMissLovesItSoMuch##ChuMuChaoIsBoundToBothMenAndWomen##ChuMuChaoSignsXinQing#

Three topics in a row have become trending.

An hour later, these three topics suddenly disappeared.

Chu Muchao was already asleep when all of this happened.

After working non-stop for so many days, Chu Muchao didn't even feel like relaxing. As soon as she lay down on the bed, before she could even ask the smart home assistant to play some white noise, she fell asleep.

She didn't sleep well that night.

In her dream, she was carrying a large travel bag and walking on a rugged mountain road.

There is a cliff on the right and a steep cliff on the left.

Every now and then, small rocks would fall from the mountain above, nearly hitting her and forcing her to quicken her pace and run dangerously along the mountain path.

Thankfully, although she was a bit tired, she ran safely until the dream ended.

early morning.

When Chu Muchao woke up, he wiped the sweat from his forehead; it felt cool.

Good morning, Miss Mu Mu. You don't look like you slept well.

Chu Muchao: I had a nightmare. I was running all night, and it exhausted me.

Chu Muchao sat on the bed and rested for a while before instructing the smart home assistant to draw back the curtains and open some windows.

You need a full, sufficient, and high-quality night's sleep to repair your body.

Chu Muchao: Yes, but there's been so much going on lately... I really miss when my brother was the boss. Why did he have to leave...? Please, he should come back and continue managing the company...

【^-^Miss Mu Mu, now is not the time for you to want to take control of the conversation?】

Chu Muchao: It's best to keep the power of speech in your own hands.

But it was really tiring.

I finally got to sleep in and wake up naturally, but I dreamt all night about running along a mountain path on the edge of a cliff. Anyone would be exhausted in that situation.

What an inconsiderate, lousy system.

【^-^Since Miss Mu Mu thinks that way about me, then I'd better not tell you.】

Chu Muchao: ?

【^-^ I'm afraid I'll scare Miss Mu Mu.】

Chu Muchao: Then you shouldn't have said anything in the first place! You only said half of what you were going to say before stopping, weren't you just deliberately teasing me?

【^-^ How could that be?】

Chu Muchao: ...Speak quickly! What is it? What could scare me? Is it something that's trending on social media?

While urging the system to speak quickly in his mind, Chu Muchao got up to get his phone and opened Weibo.

Fortunately, it must have been the company's public relations team that was in charge, because she didn't see her name in the trending topics.

As for whether people will discuss it privately, that's none of our concern.

【^-^ Your brother came home last night.】

Chu Muchao: Oh.

Chu Wen is just going home; it's perfectly normal. This is his home, after all.

【^-^ I went into your room and watched you sleeping soundly by your bedside for about half an hour. Even so, does Miss Mumu think that's normal?】

Chu Muchao: ?

Last night, she vaguely heard some noises, but they were very faint and quiet, and she quickly went back to dreaming.

The time was so short that she mistook it for a dream.

It turns out someone really did enter her room.

Chu Muchao: He was just looking at me? And did nothing else?

【^-^ Do you need me to read your mind and help you resolve your doubts?】

Chu Muchao struggled internally.

She was very curious as to why Chu Wen had entered her room and watched her sleep.

If you had something to say and couldn't resist breaking into her room at night, then why didn't you wake her up?

My intuition tells me that Chu Wen's words are not pleasant to hear.

Chu Muchao finally shook his head: I don't want to. Is he still at home?

Yes, I'm here.

As long as Chu Wen doesn't ask, she'll just pretend she doesn't know.

She felt that when it was time to play dumb, one shouldn't press for answers.

-

Chu Muchao changed his clothes, washed up, and took the elevator downstairs.

The aunt was waiting at the elevator entrance.

Seeing Chu Muchao come out, the aunt asked kindly, "Miss, I've prepared several kinds of breakfast this morning. Which ones would you like to eat?"

Chu Muchao walked into the restaurant and ordered several breakfast dishes as he went.

Then, he looked up and saw Chu Wen sitting at the dining table.

Just as he swallowed the porridge in his mouth, he looked up and their eyes met.
