Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Resignation
Xu Chen was in disbelief for a long time before he asked uncertainly, "Resign? Just resign?"
Wen Yu also gave a serious answer: "Yes, I resigned and no longer work for Bian Xingyu. When you signed the contract with others, did you not sign any strange clauses?"
Xu Chen shook his head: "No, they gave me 15,000 a month and said I could leave anytime I wanted. The only thing I signed was a confidentiality agreement, which prohibited me from spreading what I saw or heard during my work."
But this is normal, not only Bian Xingyu needs to sign, but assistants of other stars also need to sign.
Wen Yu was shocked. The average salary in other companies was three to five thousand, but Bian Xingyu offered his assistant a monthly salary of fifteen thousand.
No wonder he didn't need to sign any other terms. He was sure that Xu Chen needed the money, and he would not resign even if he was treated as a punching bag.
Having money dangling in front of Xu Chen is more useful than any contract.
Wen Yu didn't know what to say to Bian Xingyu. He just looked at Xu Chen again, full of sympathy.
He realized that Xu Chen was not really stupid and did not know how to resist when being beaten and scolded. He just needed money too much.
The money he earns is not from being an assistant, but from being a punching bag and getting beaten and scolded.
Wen Yu said, "Okay, it would be best if you don't have any other contracts. You can pack up and leave now... By the way, if you want to resign, should you contact Bian Xingyu or his agent?"
Xu Chen: "Looking for Sister Chun... She was the one who found me when I found this job."
He was indeed very obedient. While answering Wen Yu's questions, he had already started packing his things.
A few pieces of clothes, an old cell phone, and a charger are all he has.
Poverty and lack of money are written all over him from head to toe.
Although he had rescued the people from the fire pit, Wen Yu couldn't help but start to worry again.
"What are you going to do after you quit your job? You're not going to be an artist assistant again, are you?"
Xu Chen really had no plans for this. After all, the immortal came too suddenly and he was not prepared at all.
"I'm not in a hurry to use the money now. I might go work on a construction site. I have a neighbor who is a foreman... Daxian, I will definitely pay you back your money when I make money. Don't worry!"
With such a small body, you want to work on a construction site?
Wen Yu was skeptical about this, but he himself was not a boss and had people in the company and work matters that he could not handle.
As for whether the money has been repaid, Wen Yu doesn't care about it. After all, the money in his family was not earned, but fell from the sky. He uses it to do good deeds, which is in accordance with the will of heaven and accumulates great virtue.
"There's no rush for money, just earn it slowly and pay it back slowly... Come on, quit your job first, I'll go with you."
…
Wen Yu and Xu Chen were still on the way, but Jian Xunchun had already arrived at the set and met up with the great director Xidong.
Although Xidong was upset about the accident with the actors, it was not a big deal for him. The filming of the play had not been completed yet. Changing the roles in the middle was a bit troublesome, but it was still much easier to solve than having trouble after the filming was completed.
Jian Xunchun didn't dare to disturb Xidong's filming. She waited until he finished and was waiting for the location before she went up to him.
"Director Xi, I heard something happened. Did Xingyu do something to upset you?"
Xidong glanced at her and suddenly laughed.
Look at how good he is at speaking, the art of language. If he is upset, people who don’t know him would think it is some personal grudge.
"What do you think he did?"
Who do you think is the fool if you pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth?
Jian Xunchun was choked by these words and felt a little annoyed.
She had checked the Internet on the way here, and there was no breaking news, no bad public opinion or gossip. Why did Xidong have to change the role?
What had he heard?
"Director Xi, Xingyu is very serious about filming. You should have seen how dedicated he is. Besides, we have been shooting for such a long time. Changing the roles will not benefit either of us. I also know what you are worried about. I can guarantee that I will control the people on my side and will never cause any trouble."
He really won't give up and is still hoping for a lucky break.
Xidong simply stated: "I have heard about this, do you still think it is not a big deal? If I were you, I would either think about PR or change the artist. It is useless for me to say anything. I cannot risk ruining the movie by using him. In this circle, he is not irreplaceable."
Xidong is a good director. He cherishes his works and his reputation.
It would be fine if Bian Xingyu didn't know about the risk, but if he knew, she would definitely not be able to stay in his crew anymore.
As the two were talking, Xidong's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and took a look, thinking that his guess was correct. He asked someone to check the hotel surveillance, and sure enough, they got the evidence. This was really timely.
Then he silently turned the phone towards Jian Xunchun.
There was a photo on the phone. Judging from the background, it was night time. Xu Chen came out of Bian Xingyu's room with a wound on his face.
From this angle...it should be the hotel's surveillance.
Since we have the photos, there must be a video. Once the comparison between Xu Chen entering and leaving the room came out, Bian Xingyu was really screwed.
Jian Xunchun didn't know what to do for a moment. He just wondered in frustration who had done this.
Xu Chen?
It doesn't feel like that. Xu Chen needs the money. Even if he was upset with Bian Xingyu, he wouldn't vent it now.
So, who is it?
Before Jian Xunchun could figure it out, the problem in Xidong had not been resolved either. He was at a loss as to what to do, when Xu Chen's WeChat message came.
[Sister Chun, thank you for your care during this period. I have decided to resign. Please find another assistant for Brother Yu.]
Jian Xunchun thought he had seen it wrong, so he stared at his phone and looked at it again, only then was he sure that he was not seeing it wrong.
He said he was resigning at this time. Could it be that he was the one who leaked the information about Bian Xingyu?
Did Bian Xingyu's rival contact him and promise him benefits?
After thinking for a while, Jian Xunchun still couldn't figure out who it could be. Bian Xingyu was not very kind to his assistant, but he didn't have many mortal enemies with his colleagues.
Is it because of Xidong’s movie?
It doesn't feel right. If someone really has the means to snatch a role, shouldn't they do it before the role is confirmed?
She moved quickly and had already dialed Xu Chen.
Xu Chen was waiting for the bus at the bus stop outside with a suitcase. Wen Yu came out with him. They were originally going to find Jian Xunchun to resign.
But halfway through the walk, Wen Yu suddenly came to his senses: "Why do you have to resign in person? Can't you just give someone a phone call now?"
Yes.
Xu Chen thought that since he was not going to do it anymore, there was no need to worry about whether he would leave a good impression on others.
Regardless, whether you resign in person or over the phone, it won't leave a good impression.
When he picked up the phone and was about to make a call, he thought again that there was no need to make the call and could just send a message.
But I didn’t expect that Jian Xunchun’s call would be returned so quickly.
Xu Chen thought about it and finally answered the call.
Jian Xunchun's voice was filled with anger even through the phone: "What's wrong with you? You said you would resign and you resigned. Where do you want me to find an assistant to fill this vacancy right now? No, I don't agree with your resignation. If you want to leave, at least you have to wait until I find someone."
The answer was expected. Xu Chen pursed his lips and said quietly, "Sister Chun, you know very well what I do as an assistant. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. But I really can't do this job anymore. I'm afraid I'll die if I'm not careful."
Jian Xunchun: “…”
She couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead... It hurts! I don't know what to say to Bian Xingyu. Maybe it's a good thing that he didn't get angry.
Look, it’s only been a few days since he became popular, but he’s become more and more reckless in his actions.
When I wasn't famous before, at least I knew to be more reserved.
This is a fire, and people are getting carried away.
Thinking of this, Jian Xunchun couldn't help but want to complain again. This was really short-sighted.
He hasn't even won a mainstream award, and yet he's become so arrogant.
At least it won’t be too late to become a popular star or win a Best Actor trophy.
Xu Chen sensed her silence and said, "Sister Chun, I just resigned. I won't tell anyone about what happened during my work. Don't worry. No matter what, thank you for taking care of me these days. I need money and I have earned it. I won't take other things to heart. If there is nothing else, I will just hang up."
Jian Xunchun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's do this for now. I'll have someone transfer this month's salary to your card in a few days. Just be clear in your mind about what you should and shouldn't say."
After all, the incident did not break out on the Internet, and she was afraid that if she pushed people too far, something else might happen, which would be even more disadvantageous to Bian Xingyu.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Chen hung up, still a little dazed.
Is it solved so easily?
Wen Yu knew what he was thinking from his expression, so he reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Although money can't solve all the problems in the world, it can solve most of the problems... I wish your Beibei's surgery goes well. If you can't find a suitable job in the future, and you want to return to the entertainment industry to make a living, or if you want to pay me back, I'll give you a contact."
He decisively gave the other party Sun Xifei's contact information and appointed him as a walking immortal on earth.
After seeing Xu Chen off, Wen Yu’s on-site “teaching” life at the film and television city returned to normal.
The next day, Wen Yu returned to the Xidong crew, and as expected, he did not see Bian Xingyu again. He followed several main characters of the crew to eat some melons.
Bian Xingyu failed to convince Xidong. The agent Jian Xunchun tried every possible way and contacted everyone he could, but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to withdraw.
Xidong is different from other directors. Not only is he talented, but investors have to listen to him if they want to make money.
Another very important point is that the investors of his movies are his own family, who account for the majority of the capital and have absolute say.
In Xidong's words, he only produces one work every few years. If this work requires compromise, he might as well stay at home and pick his feet.
Anyway, he is not short of money. Even if he doesn't work, the money he earns in his life is enough for him to spend.
If you want to join his team, the contract terms are very strict.
For someone like Bian Xingyu, whose own negative information has come out, kicking him out of the crew not only doesn't make any money, but Bian Xingyu will have to pay for it instead.
As for Bian Xingyu wanting to bite back, that is even more impossible. Xidong's connections and status are at least not something that Bian Xingyu can shake.
If this matter really gets out of hand, the onlookers will definitely stand on Xidong's side.
If Bian Xingyu didn't want to collapse immediately, he wouldn't be stupid enough to confront Xidong.
Wen Yu was eating melons, and the one who ate the most was the male lead Ren Jingyuan. His assistant Zhu Ge was a front-line figure.
Follow Brother Zhu and get the most complete melons.
Naturally, Bian Xingyu was unwilling to leave the crew in disgrace. If he was kicked out of the crew by a big director like Xidong, he would really have no chance of staying in this circle anymore.
Brother Zhu quickly poked at his phone with his fingers——
[You don’t know what reason that person used to leave the crew! ]
[What's the reason? Tell me now! ]
[I broke my leg while taking a shower in the bathroom... I just want to ask you if this is outrageous or not. 】
【Ah? Hahahahahahaha! 】
[Oh my god, this is so funny, he actually said that he broke his leg, hahahaha! ]
[Look how smart he is. He saved his face and also tortured his fans. How miserable is my brother. He finally got into the crew of a famous director and got a good job, but because he broke his leg, he had to leave the crew and lost the role. Tsk tsk tsk, if I were a fan, I would be heartbroken. ]
…
Brother Zhu was chatting animatedly in his assistant group, and Wen Yu watched everything clearly from beginning to end.
It's actually possible!
Wen Yu really didn't expect that this operation could be possible. This is simply a typical case of "turning waste into treasure"!
The entertainment industry is sometimes really "admirable".
However, the person was not in front of him, and Wen Yu did not have the energy to hold on to him.
It’s more interesting to watch Xidong making movies.
Wen Yu goes out early and comes back late every day. Li Chaoyan takes him out and back home every day, and becomes his taxi partner.
When it comes to getting a driver's license, several people have tried very hard to seize the time, but it still takes time.
It is really inconvenient to not have a car. Li Chaoyan didn't dare to say anything, but it can be seen that she has been very patient with the mode of being "bound" to Wen Yu.
It would be nice if he had a driver, or someone who was free and could be his taxi companion.
Um?
Anything else?
Someone who knows the identity of the immortal, will not faint on the spot, and can help him cover up, and who is currently unemployed... He seems to actually know someone.
Wen Yu quickly took out his cell phone and started sending WeChat messages.
[Dad, I need to buy a car for work and hire a driver. Can you give me some money? ]
Father Wen: [???]
Father Wen: [Son, are you going to stop being an actor and become a prodigal? Although you have the qualifications, I think it’s not good to say that you are a prodigal. It’s better to be an 18th-tier unknown actor who pursues his dream of becoming an entertainer. Why don’t you reconsider it?]
