Coincidentally, Guan Shaoning also had some ideas.
The three members of Yin initially signed a contract with Yuxing under the name of a music group, and at the same time, they also signed individual contracts.
The initial agreement between the two parties was that the "Hidden" duo must release more than two albums and at least twenty-four songs every year.
And that's exactly what's written in the partnership agreement.
However, when it came to individual contracts, it became that each of them needed to produce twenty-four songs.
When they signed their first contract, the three were complete novices and knew nothing about contracts. Yuxing's contract was also quite ambiguous, so none of them noticed anything was wrong.
Actually, with the combined contract as a supplement, these three individual contracts would have been fine, but the problem lies in the fact that the combined contract is no longer available.
He disappeared a little over a year after he entered Yuxing.
At the time, Situ Jiu was careful and talked to his agent about signing a supplementary group contract several times. However, his agent was from Yuxing and was completely on Yuxing's side.
The matter dragged on like this, until the third year, when the three-year contract was about to expire and the contract was about to be terminated.
Three months before the contract expired, Nie Pei was contacted by senior management of Yuxing, who told him that they had breached the contract.
Yuxing produced the individual contracts of the three individuals, stating that none of them had released the required number of songs as stipulated in the contracts, and therefore they were required to pay substantial breach of contract penalties.
However, if Nie Pei is willing to renew their contract for another ten years, they can agree not to pursue breach of contract penalties and to set Situ Jiu and Yan Xi free.
The first reason they approached Nie Pei was because he was the most popular and earned the most money. Another reason was that Nie Pei was simple-minded and had mild autism.
Aside from music and creative matters, he speaks even less in his daily life than Qin Sheng.
Therefore, given Nie Pei's experience and vision, he was quickly coerced and tricked into signing the contract by Yu Xing's seasoned business veterans.
What happened next was obvious. With Nie Pei's contract in place, Yuxing simply used Nie Pei to threaten Situ Jiu and Yan Xi, and the two had no choice but to obediently renew their contracts.
Xu Xiao only knew that the three men's former employer was Yuxing and that they were at odds with their former employer. This was the first time she had heard about these things. After Guan Shaoning finished speaking, she was speechless for a long time.
She couldn't help but look at Yan Xi with a complicated expression: "You guys are really something..."
Yan Xi shrank back guiltily, but then muttered to himself, "Of course I know I can't sign it, but I can't leave Xiao Pei alone there. You don't know, there are more people who want Xiao Pei than I do at Yuxing. If I leave him alone, he'll definitely be devoured until there's nothing left."
Xu Xiao knows better than anyone how murky the entertainment industry is.
If it weren't for her and Jian Ze supporting each other all those years, not to mention Jian Ze, even she would probably have fallen into a quagmire.
Thinking of Jian Ze, Xu Xiao's gaze turned cold, but she stopped criticizing them.
There's no point in saying anything now; it's more practical to think about how to handle this situation.
Guan Shaoning continued speaking.
He turned to the first page of the first contract, about to say something, when he suddenly paused, and finally couldn't help but chuckle: "Actually, resolving this matter is quite simple."
Xu Xiao's eyes lit up: "You have a solution?"
Guan Shaoning looked at her and smiled: "Does it count as an illegal method?"
Xu Xiao paused, then couldn't help but glance at him again: "Aren't you a lawyer?"
Do lawyers also consider illegal methods?
Guan Shaoning seemed to understand her thoughts, and chuckled again, saying, "Don't think of lawyers as too upright."
On the contrary, it is precisely because lawyers understand the law well enough that they are more likely to find loopholes.
Guan Shaoning made up his mind, raised his hand and closed the contract: "Alright, I'm going out for a bit, that's all..."
Before Xu Xiao could even utter the words "Leave it to me," his phone rang.
The sound was different from the usual notification sounds. Xu Xiao's eyes flickered, and she immediately took out her phone to check.
Sure enough, it was a message from Qin Sheng.
The content was a document that Xu Xiao was familiar with.
Having learned from previous experiences, Xu Xiao immediately guessed what it was and quickly grabbed Guan Shaoning, who was about to leave, and pulled him to the computer.
Double-clicking the mouse opens the document.
The contents of the document were unexpected, yet Xu Xiao felt they were also within expectations.
It is a contract.
It was Situ Jiu and his two companions who signed the contract with Yuxing through the Hidden Group.
Xu Xiao stared at the computer screen in front of him for a long time, then turned to look at Guan Shaoning and said thoughtfully, "Is this the illegal method you mentioned?"
Guan Shaoning: "...Yes."
He looked at the contract with a similarly complicated expression.
Like employment contracts, most contracts are made in triplicate, or in duplicate plus an electronic version.
Two copies are kept by each party to the contract, while the third copy, or an electronic copy, is given to a third party acting as a notary.
For example, the labor bureau, notary office, or law firm.
Labor contracts or other contracts are usually placed in the former two categories, but contracts in the entertainment industry are different and have very special characteristics.
Therefore, they are all placed with the entertainment company's own legal counsel.
Most lawyers have the habit of organizing and archiving all the materials they receive for future use.
Guan Shaoning believes that Yuxing Entertainment's legal counsel is no exception.
Therefore, once you determine who Yuxing's legal counsel is, and then use certain special methods to search their frequently used computers, you'll have a 90% chance of finding what they're looking for.
He originally intended to ask Fu Jingheng for help, but he didn't expect that Qin Sheng had already gotten his hands on the items.
This efficiency...
He couldn't help but laugh and said to Xu Xiao, "No wonder your studio has so few public relations and technical staff. It turns out that the boss alone is worth ten people."
Xu Xiao: "...You're overthinking it. It's just that we have enough people for now, and we haven't found suitable candidates yet."
Although Qin Sheng's abilities and efficiency are indeed terrifyingly high, the key point is that he is unreachable for about twenty days a month.
Like when she went to Tiandu to participate in a competition, for a whole month and six days, she only managed to get through on the phone on the last day; the rest of the time, it was as if she had vanished into thin air.
If they rely entirely on Qin Sheng to find evidence and handle public relations, then all the artists in their studio will be ruined.
This matter was related to her and affected Situ Jiu and the other two. In addition, she had finally free time after returning to Ancheng, so she had the leisure to do some work.
Xu Xiao sighed as she thought about it.
This woman is such a hands-off boss... I wonder if she made a profit or a loss by signing that contract.
Complaints aside, now that the supplies have arrived, let's get back to work.
