Chapter 121 Contract Exposed
At night, Chen Feng's office.
Chen Feng was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth on the floor anxiously.
He held a briefcase tightly in his hand, his palms covered in cold sweat.
Inside was Su Qianqian's demanding artist contract.
He could clearly see the reactions of Master Shen and Master Gu when they personally helped Su Qianqian vent her anger today.
Although there was no rumor, it was an established fact that Su Qianqian was Gu Shao's woman.
And Lin Shu, the big star who once acted arrogantly in front of him and relied on Mr. Gu's favor to enjoy unlimited glory.
Now it seems that she has completely fallen out of favor in Gu Shao's heart, and not even a trace of old feelings remains.
This circle has always been realistic, praising the powerful and looking down on the weak.
But this time, he accidentally stood on the wrong side.
How could he be so possessed by the devil at that time, that under the instigation and pressure of Lin Shu, and with the arrogant idea that even if Su Qianqian had a financial backer, she would not be able to compare with Gu Chengyu, he signed such a cruel contract with her?
Fortunately, he left himself a way out at that time.
I didn't really use this contract to force Su Qianqian to make some quick money.
At present, the only income Su Qianqian received was the salary for the small role of the courtesan. The company took 90% of it according to the contract, and there was actually not much money left.
Instead, the company invested more in her.
Expensive vocal lessons, acting classes, and dance classes are all taught by top teachers.
Moreover, fortunately he arranged Brother Wang to Su Qianqian.
Although Brother Wang is smart, he actually appreciates artists who are truly talented and pure-minded.
I think Su Qianqian didn't suffer any hardship from this contract, but instead was trained with all his heart.
But the existence of this contract itself is a time bomb.
It made Chen Feng restless.
He knew too well how terrifying a playboy like Gu Chengyu could be when he started to protect his own shortcomings.
Today, for Su Qianqian, he can make Lin Shu and Qiao Xi disappear completely.
Tomorrow, if he knew that I had used such an insulting contract to tie down his new love...
Chen Feng shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
This contract must not remain in his hands.
He must confess his mistake, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.
——
Shen's Media, top floor.
The lights in Shen Que's office were still on, and it seemed a little lonely in the deep night.
He was not working, but leaning back in a black leather chair, his body slightly tilted back, his eyes somewhat blank, looking at the brilliant night view outside the window.
The computer in front of him was turned on, and on it were a few daily snapshots that Su Qianqian had uploaded to Weibo.
The little girl is very bright and clean.
No wonder Cheng Yu dragged him over to vent his anger as soon as he heard that she had gone to a drinking party.
He has been deliberately avoiding her these days.
After all, it was the first time that Cheng Yu protected her like this and didn't let anyone covet her. Subconsciously, he wanted to stay away from her.
pity……
Chen Que's gaze fell on the screen, his expression somewhat complicated and difficult to discern, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Chen Feng stood outside the closed door and took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the fear in his heart.
He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." A deep and firm voice came from inside, without any emotion.
Chen Feng pushed the door open and went in.
Shen Que's gaze moved away from the screen and fell on Chen Feng, who was pale at the door, and the file bag in his hand.
"Mr. Chen..." Chen Feng's voice was dry and tense, with obvious panic.
He walked quickly to the desk and instead of sitting down, he bowed deeply, very humble.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Shen Que's voice was calm, but it carried an invisible pressure.
Chen Feng stood up and placed the document bag on the desk in front of Shen Que with both hands:
“Mr. Shen, I’m here to admit my mistake to you.”
He took a deep breath and said, "Regarding Miss Su Qianqian's artist contract."
Shen Que's gaze swept across the file bag and then fell back on Chen Feng's face. His eyes were sharp, signaling him to continue.
"In the beginning, this contract was signed under Lin Shu's strong instigation and pressure."
Chen Feng didn't dare to hide it and spoke quickly: "I thought at the time that she was still close to Master Gu and was very popular, so I didn't dare to offend her."
"She hinted to me that Su Qianqian was just an insignificant assistant beside her. If she wanted to climb up the ladder by stepping on her master, she should be tied down with the most stringent contract, so that she would recognize her position and not be able to make any waves..."
Chen Feng's voice lowered, filled with regret: "I was also confused at that time."
"On the one hand, I felt that a newcomer really didn't deserve better treatment. On the other hand, I was also concerned about Mr. Gu behind Lin Shu. I was afraid of offending her and causing trouble for the Shen Group, so I signed this contract."
Shen Que listened quietly, with no expression on his face.
He opened the contract, and sure enough, it was the lowest-grade kind. At the bottom was the girl's beautiful handwriting, with her name written on it: Su Qianqian.
Anger was accumulating little by little in Shen Que's peach blossom eyes.
"90% commission, 20 million in liquidated damages, and the company has complete control over the roles."
"Chen Feng, tell me, if this kind of clause falls into the hands of those shady agents who make a living by sucking the blood of artists..."
He pointed his finger at the contract and raised his voice suddenly: "Do you know what will happen to her?"
Chen Feng was so frightened by this sudden questioning that he trembled all over and hurriedly defended himself: "Master Shen, calm down!"
"Although I was confused at the time, I knew the seriousness of the matter, so I immediately arranged for Brother Wang to be her agent."
"You know what kind of person Brother Wang is. He values talent and has a decent heart. He will definitely not let Miss Su suffer any injustice."
"And the company's investment in her, in terms of training and resources, is the best."
"That's enough!" Shen Que interrupted him coldly, his eyes still cold, but without the anger just now.
Brother Wang has a really good reputation in the traffic circle. He is one of the few agents who truly values the strength of artists rather than using crooked methods.
It's just that he is good at marketing, but his vision for choosing scripts is really not that good and he can't give any advice, so talented artists are unwilling to follow him.
Shen Que's expression relaxed a little, but his face was still ugly.
Chen Feng keenly caught his change, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and quickly pointed to the contract on the table and asked cautiously:
“Mr. Shen, look at this contract, what should we do now?”
"Should I destroy it immediately? Draft a new contract for a top-tier artist and send it to Miss Su?"
Shen Que's gaze fell back on the spread-out contract.
His finger slid across the line of words that read: "Artists must unconditionally accept all performing activities arranged by the company..."
A dark and secretive thought quietly grew.
Does such a contract also mean that he can legitimately create some opportunities for chance encounters?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Shen De's heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
"Leave the contract."
His voice returned to normal, no emotion could be heard: "You go out, I will handle this matter."
Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned.
"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Mr. Shen!"
He responded repeatedly, almost walked backwards out of the office, and closed the door gently.
Silence returned to the office.
Shen Que leaned back in his chair, his eyes once again fixed on the spread-out contract, a faint smile forming at the corner of his lips.
He convinced himself that this was to pave the way for Nian An and allow the Shen family to move to a higher level in the future.
Besides, it was just a chance encounter, and he wouldn't really do anything to Cheng Yu's woman.
Shen Que raised his eyes and his gaze returned to the computer screen.
On the screen, Su Qianqian smiled brightly at the camera.
Shen Que stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently brushed across the cold screen, brushing against the delicate little face, his eyes deep and hard to discern.
