Chen Que's gaze swept over the file bag, then returned to Chen Feng's face, his eyes sharp, signaling him to continue.
"Back then, this contract was signed under Lin Shu's strong encouragement and pressure."
Chen Feng dared not hide anything and spoke quickly: "At the time, I thought she was still someone close to Young Master Gu, at the height of her power, and I dared not offend her."
"She implied to me that Su Qianqian was just an insignificant assistant by her side, and now that she wanted to climb up by stepping on her master, she should be bound by the most stringent contract so that she would realize her place and be unable to cause any trouble..."
Chen Feng's voice lowered, filled with regret: "I was out of my mind back then."
"On the one hand, I felt that a newcomer was not worthy of better treatment. On the other hand, I was also worried about the young master Gu behind Lin Shu and was afraid of offending her and causing trouble for Shen's Group, so I signed this contract."
Shen Que listened quietly, his face expressionless.
He opened the contract, and sure enough, it was the lowest tier one. At the bottom was the girl's delicate handwriting, with her name written: Su Qianqian.
Anger was slowly building in Shen Que's peach blossom eyes.
"The revenue is split 90/10, with a 20 million yuan penalty for breach of contract, and the company has complete control over who gets the roles."
"Chen Feng, tell me, what if this kind of clause falls into the hands of those unscrupulous agents who make a living by exploiting artists..."
He pointed his finger at the contract, his voice suddenly rising: "Do you know what she's going to go through?"
Startled by the sudden question, Chen Feng trembled and hurriedly protested, "Young Master Chen, please calm down!"
"Although I was confused at the time, I knew what was important, so I immediately arranged for Brother Wang to be her agent."
"You know Brother Wang's character. He cherishes talent and is upright. He would never let Miss Su suffer any injustice."
"Moreover, the company's investment in her, including training and resources, is the best."
"That's enough!" Shen Que interrupted him coldly, his eyes still icy, but the anger from before was gone.
Brother Wang has a good reputation in the entertainment industry. He is one of the few agents who truly values the talent of artists rather than resorting to underhanded tactics.
He's good at marketing, but his eye for scripts is really bad, and he can't offer any advice, so talented artists are unwilling to work with him.
Shen Que's expression softened slightly, but his face remained grim.
Chen Feng keenly noticed his change, and grasped at it like a lifeline. He quickly pointed to the contract on the table and cautiously asked:
"Young Master Shen, what should we do now about this contract?"
"Should I destroy it immediately? And draft a new, top-tier artist contract and send it to Miss Su?"
Shen Que's gaze returned to the unfolded contract.
His finger unconsciously traced the line that read, "Artists must unconditionally accept all performing arts activities, announcements, and schedules arranged by the company."
A dark and secretive thought quietly took root.
Does such a contract also mean that he can legitimately create opportunities for chance encounters?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Chen Que's heart inexplicably quickened.
"Leave the contract."
His voice returned to its usual calm, devoid of emotion: "You can leave now. I'll handle this."
Chen Feng felt as if he had been granted a pardon and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Young Master Shen!"
He responded repeatedly, almost backing away from the office, and gently closed the door behind him.
Silence returned to the office.
Shen Que leaned back in his chair, his gaze returning to the open contract, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He convinced himself that this was to pave the way for Nian'an and enable the Shen family to rise to a higher level in the future.
Besides, it was just a chance encounter, and he wouldn't really do anything to Chengyu's woman.
Shen Que raised his eyes, his gaze returning to the computer screen.
On the screen, Su Qianqian smiled brightly at the camera.
Shen Que reached out, his fingertips brushing lightly across the delicate face through the cold screen, his eyes deep and unfathomable. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
