Ten billion! Xu Yumin has been doing such wicked things for so many years, and she has made a lot of money from filming. However, she has to spend a huge amount of money every year to maintain her youthful look. How can she afford so much money to pay for breach of contract?
As for Zheng Yong, he had handled orders with amounts exceeding 10 billion, but the money was not his. And even if he had it, he would be dreaming to compensate the program crew with that much money.
The penalty for breach of contract forced the conversation to end. The director looked at them calmly, neither trying to force them to stay nor pressuring them to pay the penalty for breach of contract. He seemed like a good person.
But Zheng Yong and Xu Yumin failed to escape several times. They simply didn't believe that there was no director's handiwork involved, so how could they believe him?
The money in the wallet was used to hire big men as bodyguards. The director felt wronged for using his body size to scare the two men away from causing trouble.
He doesn't have a penny now, so how can he afford to hire people from the national team?
"If you want to withdraw from the show, pay the penalty. If you can't pay, just record the show. That's it. I have a lot of things to do. I don't have time to sit here and stare at you."
After the director finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them and was about to leave, but Zheng Yong stopped them and played a delaying card.
"We are here to participate in the show, and we won't bring so much money with us. Please let us leave first and pay the penalty later."
Later is indeed later, but how long this later is is not decided by him.
Understanding the meaning of Zheng Yong's words, Xu Yumin also said.
"Director, you know my status in the industry. President Zheng and I are not short of money. We said that we would pay the penalty after we withdraw from the program, so we will not break the contract."
The two of them were making fun of him, a rookie at that time. The bald director touched his head and replied with a smile.
"Although I believe in your earning power and that you must have saved several hundred billion, I am just an employee. We are all acting according to the contract. Since the contract states that you must pay ten billion on the spot to withdraw from the show, you must pay the penalty now."
"If you can't take it out, then I'm sorry, both of you should go back to the camera and continue recording. Let's not waste each other's time."
The director was unmoved and seemed to be mocking them.
Zheng Yong and Xu Yumin looked at each other. What was the point of having 10 billion? They couldn't even come up with 10 billion, let alone now.
Knowing that they couldn't get through to the director anymore, the two were chased away by the director again. After their phones were confiscated, they could only return to the camera in a stammering manner, trying not to come into contact with Jiang Ning, acting as an invisible person, striving to get through the recording or find other opportunities to leave.
However, the guilty and uncomfortable look on the two men's faces could not be ignored even if they tried to hide from the camera.
"Wow, these two disappeared just now, but they came as soon as the food was ready, and now they are eating here." Jiang Qing said dissatisfiedly while holding a beef skewer.
Song Yao, who was bringing juice nearby, also disliked these two people, but in the show, they were too cold and would be criticized, and their behavior would be infinitely magnified. He knew all this too well and didn't want everyone to be criticized because of such a small matter.
"Would you like to send them some barbecue?"
"No need. President Zheng and Teacher Xu both have Western stomachs. I'm afraid they can't enjoy the delicious taste of Huaguo barbecue." Jiang Ning ate a big skewer of meat and said to the two people who were fanning themselves with disgust.
When she said this, Song Yao and the others also noticed it, frowned, and said nothing.
Several people were happily eating the delicacies that the agent forbade them to eat, drinking sweet juice, and enjoying the brief happiness.
After eating, everyone sat together and chatted. Song Yao also performed a newly composed song, which added a touch of literary and artistic flavor to this melon-eating variety show and made the director behind the monitor almost burst into tears.
This is the free and relaxed variety show theme he wanted. What a pity, the show has gone so off track that even twenty horses can’t pull it back.
Everyone was chatting and the atmosphere was quite harmonious until Xu Yumin said something after Song Yao finished singing his new song.
"Song Yao is indeed as talented as what people say on the Internet."
The words sounded good, but Song Yao felt something was not right when he saw someone who had never been friendly to them since they entered the variety show and suddenly took the initiative to cue others.
"Teacher Xu, you are too kind. I am still a newcomer and need to learn a lot from seniors like Teacher Xu." Song Yao pondered for a moment and said cautiously.
"The entertainment industry now is dominated by you young people. We, the seniors, still have to learn from you. The entertainment industry now is different from before. It is so complicated now. If you are not careful, you will be criticized in negative articles and die without knowing how."
Xu Yumin sighed and spoke with a vicissitudes of life on her face, which made the audience who had previously been resentful of her because of her words and behavior regain some of their impression of her.
After all, no matter what Xu Yumin is, she is the childhood goddess of countless people. When such a person appears lonely in front of the camera, and then think of their past success in the entertainment industry, who would not reminisce about the past and sigh that time flies?

Netizens in the live broadcast room were recalling Xu Yumin's classic roles. When Song Yao heard her words, his nerves tensed up. Sure enough, Xu Yumin spoke again the next second.
"Song Yao was criticized for plagiarizing before, but you were lucky not to be suppressed and even became famous because of this. I don't know if anyone is as lucky as you."
"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, I'm a coward. Seeing that the two new guests who came with me were suspected of committing crimes and were arrested, I was also nervous. If someone issued a press release at this time to drag me into the water, I'm afraid that my reputation as a senior would be ruined."
Xu Yumin has great acting skills. When she said these words, the emotions in her face and eyes were very appropriate and very contagious. Especially since we have actually seen similar remarks in the live broadcast room, it made the audience empathize with her.
[Alas, the current atmosphere in the entertainment industry is not very good. It is normal for Xu Yumin to worry about being criticized.] [I also saw someone say that the guests in this episode of "Travel" are all people with big scandals, so that people who like to eat scandals can boost the popularity of the variety show. It's no wonder that Xu Yumin is so nervous. Many people believe that there are no good guests in this episode.] [Don't take sides. Anyway, you can eat scandals and watch variety shows. You are not picky.] In the live broadcast room, Xu Yumin's comments gradually became better, and Xu Yumin became more and more handy. Every word and sentence hinted that the domestic entertainment industry is very dark, and if there is no scandal, it will be created to ruin a person's reputation.
This has caused confusion among netizens. As long as there is negative news about her, it is all fake and someone is deliberately harming her. She is just a pure white lotus.
These secret brainwashing words gave people a headache, especially when Xu Yumin talked about how many girls from poor families she had helped to return to school. Jiang Ning pinched her ears and couldn't help but speak angrily in her heart.
[Yes, yes, you are the only white lotus in the domestic entertainment industry. Although you drink horse urine, wipe your body with menstrual blood, and work with black hospitals to knock out girls who are trapped in their original families and studying, take the menstrual blood of young girls, and let unscrupulous gangs take away the girls' eggs, you are still a white lotus, a white lotus with the blood of thousands of girls! ]
Guests: “!!!”
The director team who controlled their distance and listened to the melons: “!!”
I also did barbecue a few days ago. It took me half a day to thread the skewers. I even poked my finger and wanted to cry. Then I excitedly went to the fire to grill. The fire was so big that I was in a mess. The rabbit hair was almost burned. The skewers were even black. I grilled more than ten skewers and finally gave up. I quietly put the others in the refrigerator. The next day, I grilled them all in the oven. I never dared to complain that the food grilled by electric appliances was not as delicious as the charcoal grilled food. Some money should be earned by barbecue restaurants.
