Xingyi Entertainment.
Sun Ding stood up suddenly and kicked the table in front of him with a gloomy expression.
It was not until Sun Ding left the office that the previously silent employees finally gathered together to discuss.
"What's wrong with Old Sun these days? Why has his temper suddenly become so bad?"
"I heard that one of his young artists was disobedient. Not only did he not answer the phone or reply to messages, but he even refused to come to the company after I told him about it."
"Is this true? With Old Sun's explosive temper, he'll definitely explode!"
"That's right, that's why he's been emotionally unstable these past few days. You'd better be careful not to make him angry."
Sun Ding has been working at Xingyi Entertainment for a long time, and the old employees are well aware of the artists under his management. Some of them raised questions at once.
"I remember that the artists under Old Sun were all quite obedient. How could something like this suddenly happen?"
"I heard it was Yan Chaochao."
When they heard the name, someone immediately laughed out loud: "Impossible."
Just seeing the other person's expression, the smile on his face slowly faded, turning into surprise: "How is it possible? Is it really Yan Chaochao?"
"Hasn't Yan Chaochao always been Old Sun's most obedient artist? I heard that when she signed the contract, the penalty for breach of contract was particularly high, so she has been so well behaved all these years. How could it be her?"
"Stop talking, Old Sun is here."
The crowd that had gathered to talk dispersed instantly, and the office door was pushed open from the outside.
When Sun Ding left, he was angry and alone.
When he came back, a young boy followed him.
"Brother Sun," the boy said softly, wearing light makeup, as he followed Sun Ding into the office. "What did you call me over for?"
"There's a reality show on the Pineapple platform called 'Growing Up Together,' and I'm going to send you on it."
When the boy heard Sun Ding's words, his eyes lit up instantly.
only……
"Brother Sun, why do I hear this seems to be a family variety show? But I don't have any brothers or sisters at home..."
"Of course you won't be going alone." Sun Ding sneered, "Yan Chaochao will go with you."
The boy's lips curled up, but he still pretended to be worried. "Ah? But will Sister Chao Chao be unhappy?"
Sun Ding's eyes flashed with disgust. "I have the final say on this matter. It's settled."
After hearing Sun Ding's words, the boy finally felt relieved and immediately showed a sweet smile, "Thank you, Brother Sun."
Just as the boy turned around and was about to leave, the office door was suddenly opened from the outside, and the protagonist who had just appeared in their conversation walked in.
The boy's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted in surprise: "Sister Chao Chao."
After a brief moment of surprise, the boy's face quickly broke into a smile. "Sister Chao Chao, it's a good thing you're here. Brother Sun just told me that we'll be going to record 'Growing Up Together' together. Please take good care of me from now on."
Hearing the boy's words, Yan Chaozhao only glanced at him lightly and opened her mouth softly: "Who are you?"
These three words froze the boy's smile, but he quickly straightened his expression. "Sister Chao Chao, you may not know me very well. I'm a trainee at the company. We can have lunch together later to get familiar with the way we interact on the show. It will also allow Sister Chao Chao to get to know me better."
As he said that, the boy stepped forward and wanted to hold Yan Chaochao's hand.
But just before the boy's hand was about to touch Yan Chaochao, Yan Chaochao's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed, took, and let go.
In a flash, the boy let out a pig-slaughtering scream, and his hands were controlled behind his back by Yan Chaochao.
The sudden change startled everyone in the office. Sun Ding stood up from his seat with a sullen face: "Yan Chaochao! What do you want to do!"
Yan Chaozhao raised her eyes slightly, her gaze shifting between the boy and Sun Ding, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know when I agreed to be on this show with a stranger?"
"Yan Chaochao, the contract for this reality show has already been signed. You have to be on it even if you don't want to! This matter is not up to you!" Agent Sun Ding sneered and said harshly, "If you don't appear on the show, you should know the consequences!"
"Oh? Really?" Along with the sound of footsteps, a cold voice sounded from the doorway, "I'd like to experience what the consequences are."
Yan Xixi stood at the door, looking at the chaos in the office with anger in her eyes.
Sun Ding's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yan Xixi appear at the door.
How come the woman I saw in the ward that day appeared here?
But the current situation didn't allow Sun Ding to think too much. He frowned, looking stern but weak inside: "This is Xingyi Entertainment, not just anybody can come in."
Being called a "cat and dog" to his face, Yan Xixi was furious and laughed: "Stop talking nonsense, I brought Yan Chaochao here to terminate the contract today."
The words "termination of contract" were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone in the office.
Sun Ding was stunned at first, then he said maliciously, "Terminate the contract? Do you know how much liquidated damages you'll have to pay if you forcefully terminate Yan Chaochao's contract?"
Yan Xixi tapped the table impatiently with her knuckles. "I know, it's just liquidated damages, right? Why are you dithering? If you can make the decision to release him, quickly prepare the contract for me. If you can't make the decision, take me to find someone who can."
After hearing Yan Xixi's words, Sun Ding's expression changed again.
Having been a manager for so many years, Sun Ding naturally has his own set of calculations. For artists like Yan Chaochao who come from poor families and have weak personalities, the most convenient way is to use liquidated damages.
But since the car accident, not only has Yan Chaochao's character not been as weak and vulnerable as before, but there is even a woman who is willing to pay the penalty for her breach of contract.
For a moment, the two cards in Sun Ding's hand that he used to control Yan Chaochao failed to work, making him confused for a moment.
"But this penalty is only part of it. If you want to terminate the contract forcibly before it expires, the resources the company has provided before, the signed contract... all this money must be calculated..." Sun Ding said as he looked at Yan Xixi's expression.
After hearing what Sun Ding said, Yan Xixi also heard the temptation in the other party's words.
Are they treating her as a sucker?
Since entering the Yan Group, Yan Xixi, the "female devil in business" who is adept at negotiating, has not encountered someone who dares to use tricks in person for a long time.
It’s still this kind of low-level little trick.
For a moment, Yan Xixi was so angry that she actually laughed: "Put aside those low-brow little tricks."
After saying that, Yan Xixi turned around and said to the person behind her, "Come in."
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, two figures appeared at the door.
The woman on the left was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had a half-smile on her lips, looking very shrewd.
The woman on the right was wearing a neat suit, had a calm expression, and was holding a briefcase.
The moment they saw the woman on the left, some people in the office couldn't help but gasp, and some even stood up from their seats: "Sister Tang?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
This is Tang Shilei!
Tang Shilei, a top-level agent in the industry who has personally brought up a Best Actor and a Best Actress, is known as the "Golden Agent".
Tang Shilei raised her hand to adjust her glasses, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Thank you all for remembering me."
After recognizing Tang Shilei, the others looked at the woman in the suit on the right with awe in their eyes. Although they didn't necessarily know who she was, they thought that since she was with Tang Shilei, she must be a well-known figure in the industry.
The two stood behind Yan Xixi, one on each side. She looked up and glanced around the office. "Let me make this clear. I'm done with this contract today!"
