"Thank you for your kindness, but I already have someone I like. Please find someone else."
He Xiu rejected her directly and was prepared to be humiliated and kicked out at any time.
"?"
Does his having someone he likes have anything to do with reneging on the contract?
Shangguan Wu didn't quite understand what he meant and asked in surprise, "You mean you're planning to leave the entertainment industry for someone you like?"
Upon hearing this, He Xiu and Zhu Shan's expressions changed drastically!
Zhu Shan was surprised that his artist had come up with such an excuse, and chuckled to smooth things over, "Boss, does it have to be such a serious matter as retiring from the entertainment industry?"
Shangguan Wu glanced at him, pointed at the new contract with her index finger, and said, "You people in this industry should know that there aren't many companies that split profits 30/70 with their artists. He's been exploited for so long, and now he has a chance to turn things around, but he doesn't want it. He even said he has someone he likes. If he doesn't want to leave the industry, then he thinks the company is too kind and wants to work like a slave to repay it?"
He Xiu immediately froze, speechless.
Zhu Shan nodded repeatedly with a forced smile: "Yes, yes, you're right. He was blind to my worth, please don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, why would I be angry!"
Shangguan Wu curled her lip.
With her money, is she afraid she can't create a top star?
Zhu Shan said meaningfully, "When He Xiu falls in love, there's no stopping him. I tried to advise him before, and he listened, but it was no use. He can't control his feelings."
Shangguan Wu frowned and asked him, "Does the company have a rule that artists can't date?"
Zhu Shan shook his head: "Tian Song doesn't have this rule, but artists in their rising phase will prioritize their careers."
Shangguan Wu guessed, "Is it because the person he likes has a grudge against the company? So he doesn't want to see him make money for the company?"
Zhu Shan shook his head again and said, "No."
At this moment, He Xiu frowned and stared at Shangguan Wu's face, saying, "I will not sell my soul for money!"
"Who wants your soul?"
Shangguan Wu remained silent, picked up the contract, and said, "Have you finished reading the contract? I don't know what the company was like before, but in the future, such filthy things will never happen again. If anyone in the company pressures you, you are welcome to take this contract to court. Now, do you still have any doubts?"
A hint of shock flashed in He Xiu's eyes, and he apologized to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't finish reading it."
He then picked up the new contract and began to look at it.
Zhu Shan tentatively asked, "Don't entertainers have to do things outside of work? Like accompanying clients for drinks or something?"
What are you worried about?
Shangguan Wu narrowed her eyes; her intuition told her that they had misunderstood something!
He Xiu's face stiffened.
Zhu Shan gave an awkward laugh. Could he tell her? If he did, her bodyguards would probably throw him out the window!
So when he met her gaze, Zhu Shan dared not say or move.
They realized they had misunderstood.
However, their expressions were so awkward they could practically dig a building out of them. As Shangguan Wu watched, he thought of the recording and rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Please don't try to extort money from a married person, okay?
"I have a husband."
"My husband is more handsome and more outstanding than you all."
After showing off her husband in one breath, Shangguan Wu stood up and said, "You guys take a look at the contract first, and sign it if you're willing."
"sorry."
He Xiu stood up and apologized.
Zhu Shan also said sorry.
They've misunderstood.
The two were very polite, and Shangguan Wu forgave them, but still left the meeting room with Du Wei.
Back in her office, she couldn't wait to call Gu Yunzhen.
After the call connected, Shangguan Wu sobbed, "Honey, I've been scammed!"
Gu Yunzhen on the other end of the phone was taken aback.
He stared at his phone screen, hesitated for two seconds before hanging up the video call, and then asked in a low voice, "And then?"
They didn't even offer her a word of comfort.
However, Shangguan Wu immediately said, "I need you to soothe my wounded heart!"
Gu Yunzhen's voice was cold: "Didn't you take the person who staged the accident to the hospital?"
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "How could someone as kind as me fight with someone?"
Gu Yunzhen: "You have bodyguards."
Shangguan Wu choked for a moment.
Her eyes darted around, she twirled a strand of hair with her finger, and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Honey, I need your kisses and hugs to feel better, you wouldn't want your little wife to be unhappy, would you?"
"..."
Gu Yunzhen pressed his temples. Why did he have to answer this awful phone call?
"Shangguan Wu, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"etc!"
Shangguan Wu stopped him and deliberately lowered her voice to ask, "Even if you don't like me, we're still business partners. Don't you care about your partner at all?"
There was a two-second silence on the phone.
Afterwards, Gu Yunzhen's indifferent voice pierced through: "The fact that you still have the energy to call me means you are safe now."
Shangguan Wu laughed: "How could that be? Even if I only had one breath left, I would still call you!"
"You should call the hospital; maybe they can still save you."
Hearing his words, Shangguan Wu was in a daze.
Is that what she meant?
"Thank you so much!"
"Hang up."
After Gu Yunzhen finished speaking, she really hung up the phone.
Shangguan Wu looked at his phone and sighed repeatedly.
This man.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Du Wei reported, "Miss, He Xiu and his agent have arrived."
Shangguan Wu instantly reverted to her strong businesswoman demeanor, sat upright behind her desk, and called out, "Come in."
