The door of the contract signing department slammed shut behind her, leaving the room full of people looking at each other in bewilderment, but then discussing things even more heatedly.
Fang Yihua's loss of composure shocked them even more than Lu Ruirong's graceful departure.
After all, Fang Yihua's authority in TVB over the years is even greater than that of bosses Shao and Li, who are not directly in charge.
No matter what kind of difficulties TVB encounters internally, everyone only sees this capable Miss Fang, who comes up with many unique tricks and easily resolves them. When have you ever seen her suffer such a big setback?
Therefore, there is no doubt that from this moment on, TVB is destined to be swept by the storm of sky-high liquidated damages, and this matter will surely become the core topic that will never cool down in the tea rooms, dressing rooms and rehearsal rooms in the next few days.
The chairman’s office on the top floor of the TVB building.
Run Run Shaw leaned back in the large leather chair, looking calm and composed without any worries. Li Ho-wo, on the other hand, seemed a little uneasy, pacing back and forth in front of the window.
"Ahua has been there for so long, he should have secured the contracts for the top three Miss Hong Kong contestants, right?"
Li Haohe stopped and looked at Run Run Shaw, asking, "I think Ah Hua will use the third place, Lu Ruirong, as a warning to others, so that those who are too cunning will calm down, especially Liu Rumeng. The new contract must be signed, and the enthusiasm cannot be dissipated."
Run Run Shaw smiled slightly, but said calmly, "Don't worry. Ah Hua has always been sensible in his actions. It's easy to deal with a little girl with no background. It's nothing more than a few threats to make her face reality. TVB's rules can't be broken by anyone who wants to."
Then, just as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open with a loud bang, and the force was so great that the door panel was buzzing.
Fang Yihua rushed in with a sullen face, and anger threatening to burst out from between her brows.
"Lisheng! Shaosheng!"
Fang Yihua walked a few steps to the large mahogany desk, and then slammed the two checks that were wrinkled from being held in her hands on the table!
“Bang!”
This sudden and crisp sound startled both Run Run Shaw and Li Ka-shing.
"Look! What is this!"
Fang Yihua pointed at the check, her voice rising in anger, "Liu Rumeng refused to sign the contract and paid the two million Hong Kong dollars check as liquidated damages, which is fine. But this... one and a half million! Lu Ruirong! That bitch from that tenement building! She...she actually threw out a one and a half million cashier's check right there! And she didn't even frown!"
Run Run Shaw and Li Ho-wo's eyes were instantly focused on the two dazzling checks.
This scene really surprised them both. After all, in the many years since the Miss Hong Kong pageant was held, almost no one has ever broken a contract.
"What? Lv Ruirong's penalty..."
Li Xiaohe's eyes almost popped out of his head, "She really gave it to her?"
"Here I am! In front of everyone, he threw it on the table like he was sending away a beggar! That Xiaolin Tianwang! Does he really have so much money that he can't even handle it?
Wasn't it enough for Liu Rumeng? Now he's spending another 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars on this Lv Ruirong?! A total of 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars! Just for two women?! What the hell is he trying to do? Is he deliberately trying to slap us TVB in the face?!
Fang Yihua transferred her anger to Xiaolin Tianwang, because she knew very well that no matter whether it was Liu Rumeng or Lu Ruirong, the one who supported them behind the scenes was Xiaolin Tianwang, the new tycoon of Hong Kong Island.
The calmness on Run Run Shaw's face also disappeared. As experienced as he was, he couldn't help but feel some waves in his heart at this moment.
This amount of money may not be a big deal to Kobayashi Tenwang, but this attitude... is too tough and too embarrassing.
In the past two days, Kobayashi Tianwang has made many moves against TVB. After failing to acquire Lai Shi, he even sent two women to play this trick on TVB. It was a naked demonstration!
"Shao Sheng!"
Li Xiaohe immediately thought of some more practical issues and asked with a hint of anxiety in his voice, "This...what should we do? Although Zhu Lingling has signed, the first and second place winners, Liu Rumeng, and the runner-up, will definitely not sign. Now even the third place winner, Lu Ruirong, has left!"
Only one champion, Zhu Lingling, is left in the top three? This... the value of this Miss Hong Kong pageant's contract has been greatly reduced! Subsequent promotions, advertising, and the publicity activities we previously planned centered around the first, second, and third place winners will all be affected! Will the ratings and advertising fees..."
"Hahaha!"
To their surprise, Run Run Shaw suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, interrupting Li Ka-shing's worries.
This laughter made Fang Yihua and Li Ka-shing both feel a little strange and stunned.
Run Run Shaw gently placed the check back on the table and said confidently, "Ahua, Homan, why are you panicking? The contract in black and white clearly states the termination compensation.
They are now delivering the money to our door without any loss and are strictly following the contract.
We at TVB received a 'windfall' of HK$3.5 million for no apparent reason. How is this a slap in the face? This is like giving us money!"
As Run Run Shaw spoke, his eyes swept over the still-angry Fang Yihua and the hesitant Li Haohe, and he said with contempt, "She's just a woman. Even if she really has some beauty and potential, what good is it if she becomes famous? In the final analysis, she's just a 'playgirl' packaged in our world of fame and fortune.
That Kobayashi Tianwang, a young and energetic man, was severely tricked by Lishi and suffered a great loss in the acquisition. He was so angry that he had no place to vent.
Now, he just wants to use these two women as an excuse to regain some ground and vent his anger at TVB, to show that he still has the means and power.
