Lu Jiu returned home and searched for the Dream group on his phone.

There were many related reports, and Lu Jiu read them selectively. He could do nothing but remain silent.

The matter was a foregone conclusion. The group announced its disbandment a month after he disappeared, without even a final farewell performance. The disbandment was announced sadly amid a barrage of insults.

Of course, the only one who was scolded was Lu Jiu. Fans flocked to the captain Duan Chengzhou's Weibo to comfort him, saying that if he left this shitty group, his brother would have a better development, and hoped that his brother could cheer up and create better works again.

Amidst the comfort and encouragement, Duan Chengzhou released his first single "Dreamer" after going solo the next month after the group disbanded. The lyrics were all about recalling the little things between the brothers. The emotions were sincere, and were full of reluctance and helplessness towards his brothers.

Once this song was released, countless fans cried. Angry fans once again swarmed on Lu Jiu's Weibo, dragging him out and lashing him out again. This sinner who broke up the group will never be forgiven by Dream fans.

Lu Jiu had expected such a result. After the photos of him "entangled" with Duan Chengzhou were exposed, he knew that he would be blamed for the disbandment of the group.

Amidst the scolding, Lu Jiu caught some information. Some people scolded him for being selfish and cold-blooded. He ignored the injured in the car accident, abandoned the injured and unconscious taxi driver, and disappeared.

Lu Jiu searched the relevant news and found out that the driver drove around the road where the accident happened, and the taxi collided with the oncoming car. The driver's head was broken and he was unconscious on the spot. The dashcam was damaged. There was no camera on that road. There was no sign of injury in the back seat of the taxi, but Lu Jiu disappeared. There was no other possibility except that he left by himself.

So Lu Jiu had another piece of black material. He was selfish, cold-blooded, inhuman, and had bad character. Such a morally corrupt artist has caused a very serious negative impact on society and should be banned.

It was completely dark. Lu Jiu had been sitting in the darkness for an unknown amount of time. His fingertips holding the phone were slightly numb. He stared at the search box for a long time, slowly typed two words, deleted them quickly without searching, and then typed them out again, over and over again. He didn't know how many times he had typed them, as if he was full of courage just by looking at these two words.

The first night after returning, Lu Jiu slept on the sofa.

This world is safe. He doesn't have to worry about being eaten by something in his sleep, and he doesn't have to sleep on a hard and moist reef. His body is soft and he can sleep until dawn.

He decided to go to the company today and get things settled.

Before leaving, he dialed that familiar number.

The phone rang twice and was answered. "Hello, who is this?"

"Sister Qiu E, it's me. Are you in the company?"

When she heard it was Qiu Jiu's voice, Qiu E's tone turned cold. "I'm not in the company. Your affairs are not under my jurisdiction now. You go to the company and talk to Mr. Zhang about breach of contract compensation yourself."

Before Qiu Jiu could say anything else, the phone was hung up.

Duan Chengzhou, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes, "Sister, whose phone call is this?"

Qiu E glanced at him, "Don't worry about who it is, just take care of your sleep. Look at your dark circles and the quality of your skin. I told you to go to bed early last night, so what time have you stayed up till now?"

Duan Chengzhou laughed, "I just had a sudden inspiration and stayed up for a while. Sister, whose phone call is this?"

Qiu E looked at him, not knowing what she was thinking, "It's Lu Jiu, he's back."

The smile on Duan Chengzhou's face gradually faded, "How much is his breach of contract compensation?"

"It depends on how he talks to Mr. Zhang. If he's obedient, maybe he won't have to pay so much money."

Duan Chengzhou clenched his hands under the blanket. People in the industry would know what "obedient" means.

He didn't show it on his face. "He is arrogant and will disappear as soon as things don't go his way. Will he listen?"

Qiu E sneered. "Do you think a contract is just for show? With the huge penalty for breach of contract, he no longer has the choice."

Lu Jiu is still too young and does things without considering the consequences. No one in the entire entertainment industry has his courage to disappear for a year without caring. If he was an unknown group, it would be fine if there were no announcements. Although the Dream group is not very popular, they have popular songs and they often show up, so their fans will not forget them. On the contrary, they have a lot of mom fans and girlfriend fans. No matter how they sing, their looks are really good.

During the year when Lu Jiu disappeared, the group's several announcements and performances were all cancelled. The economic and reputational losses caused to the company had to be compensated by Lu Jiu. How huge would the breach of contract compensation be? Qiu E felt her scalp tingling just thinking about it. Lu

Jiu definitely couldn't come up with so much money. His end would only be to become a tool for the company to make money.

However, if he knew how to manage, be humble, and be nice and pleasing, it is not impossible for him to become popular again. His voice and looks are both very good. If not, the huge debt will completely crush him.

Qiu E glanced at Duan Chengzhou, "You caught the heat of that incident and established your image. The popularity of Dreamer has not dropped. You are no longer the same as before. Most of Dream's diehard fans have now become your loyal fans. You must remember to stay away from Ru Jiu, make friends with Ling Chen and Huo Wei, and establish your image as a good brother who values ​​friendship and loyalty."

Duan Chengzhou closed his eyes again, "I know."

He said this, but only he knew what he was thinking.

Ru Jiu took a taxi to the company and got off a street away from the company.

He was wearing a hat and a mask, with his long black hair tied up casually. He stood in a crowded square, looking up at the LED screen on the building, which was replaying the concert of the God of Songs Si Xu in City A. The whole audience sang along, and the scene was very shocking. The camera swept over, and many fans screamed and cried, and the atmosphere was very hot.

God Si is less than 30 years old, but he has already become a god in the music industry, and has won many awards. The songs he wrote are deeply loved by fans and are widely sung. Even the old songs from ten years ago are still very popular now.

The songs written by God Si are all classics.

His concert tickets are hard to get. In previous years, Jiu Jiu stayed up late to grab tickets, and he might not be able to get them if he was a second late. This year, God Si’s concert has already started, and there is no need to think about it, there will be no more tickets.

Lu Jiu stood in the square until the replay of Si Shen's concert ended, then he left.

He was not the only one in the square who watched the whole thing. Two young girls were talking about Si Shen excitedly.

"Si Shen is so handsome that it makes me cry. I really want to go to the concert, wuwuwu~~~~"

"The next one is in City B, but unfortunately I didn't get a ticket. Si Shen's concerts are getting fewer and fewer, and there is no hope of getting a ticket..."

Lu Jiu also wanted to go to the concert, but he didn't have a ticket.

When he has the conditions, he will attend every concert of Si Shen, but this year he can't.

Rujiu went all the way to the company, and was very surprised when he saw him at the front desk.

Rujiu went straight to Mr. Zhang's office. He had just watched the replay of Si Shen's concert. He was full of courage now, and he could accept any result.

Rujiu knocked on the door, and Mr. Zhang happened to be in the office.

Mr. Zhang was a slightly fat middle-aged man, with hair about to grow out of place.

Rujiu walked in, took off his hat and mask, and when Mr. Zhang saw that it was him, he was also surprised by his appearance.

Mr. Zhang had met Rujiu before, and he thought that this child was very good-looking at that time.

The Rujiu in front of him was more impactful than the last time he saw him. His appearance was particularly eye-catching. As long as you see him, it is difficult to look away. Without saying anything, this face alone is enough to attract countless fans.

Lu Jiu apologized sincerely. It was indeed his fault that he suddenly disappeared for a year. No matter what the reason was, he could not shirk the responsibility.

President Zhang repeatedly asked him to sit down and talk. In his mind, he had already overturned the original plan for Lu Jiu. With such looks, even if she was just a vase, she would be a "vase" that was priceless.

Lu Jiu sat down on the chair opposite to President Zhang.

President Zhang's eyes were glued to Lu Jiu, and he spoke rudely, exaggerating all the losses and impacts that Lu Jiu had caused to the company in the past year. People who don't know the inside story probably think that Lu Jiu is the pillar of "Chuangxing". If he has problems, it will directly affect the life and death of "Chuangxing". In fact, Lu Jiu is just a member of a small group. He is not very popular and does not have such a big influence at all.

Lu Jiu didn't say a word, just listened obediently.

Mr. Zhang took a sip of water, looked away for two seconds, and then looked back again.

"You have caused considerable losses to the company, both economically and in terms of reputation. Your behavior has seriously violated the company's regulations. The company has the right to hold you accountable. Here are the details of the compensation for violations over the past year. Take a look."

Mr. Zhang came over with a stack of documents and handed them to Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu stood up and took the documents.

Mr. Zhang put his hand on Lu Jiu's shoulder, "Sit down and take a look. We can discuss any problems we have."

Lu Jiu sat down again, but Mr. Zhang's hand did not leave. Lu Jiu looked up at him.

Mr. Zhang was almost taken away by this look. He pinched Lu Jiu's shoulder lightly, then took his hand away and said with a smile: "Don't worry, take your time to read it."

Lu Jiu glanced at the shoulder that was touched, pursed his lips, and looked down at the document in his hand.

Mr. Zhang stood behind him, looking at his fair and slender neck, his mouth dry.

Lu Jiu could feel that Mr. Zhang was looking at him all the time. He didn't read it page by page. Even if he did, he wouldn't understand it. He only turned to the end to see how much he had to pay. When he saw

the total amount of compensation, Lu Jiu's lips pursed even tighter.

Looking at the smooth black hair that Jiujiu had tied up casually, Mr. Zhang reached out to touch it, "When did you grow your hair long? It looks good..."

Jiujiu stood up and turned to face Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, do you think I can generate so much revenue for the company in a year?"

Mr. Zhang smiled, "These are all calculated in detail by the Legal Department. Your notice fee is indeed not that much, but the notice that has been signed has been breached because of your absence. The company paid a lot of breach of contract fees, which has a great impact on the company's reputation.

Now, as long as the artists of "Chuangxing" sign a contract, the organizers will ask the artists about their professional ethics and will not make a fuss without reason. Lost, right? Look, this is all the bad influence you brought."

His eyes fell on the porcelain-like delicate skin of Lu Jiu, and Mr. Zhang changed the subject, "Of course, these compensations are not for you to pay off all at once. As long as you obey the company's arrangements, I will guarantee you and let you pay it back slowly. With your conditions, it is not difficult to make this money."

Mr. Zhang moved closer, "You don't want to be banned, you want to become popular again, as long as you are willing, I can support you."

Lu Jiu took a step back, and there was no emotion in his black and white eyes, "No, I will find a way to pay the compensation."

The smile on Mr. Zhang's face gradually disappeared.

Lu Jiu walked around Mr. Zhang, picked up his hat and mask, and prepared to leave.
