After seeing off these troublemakers, the second-in-command immediately convened a meeting of the company's senior management to discuss Tongtong's new contract. The boss also attended the meeting.
Although Tongtong is a top-tier star, her acting skills are quite good, and she is one of the best actors in the company.
They already had a large fan base, and now they've gained even more popularity from the wilderness survival challenge.
The last actress to become a sensation through the survival show "Man vs. Wild" was Er Ya, while there's only one actor to achieve the same level of fame through the same show: Huang Jingyu.
Er Ya isn't from their company, but Huang Jingyu is. Haven't you seen how busy Huang Jingyu is these days? He doesn't even have time to come to the company.
But if you actually ask them to draft a contract according to their demands, they are unwilling.
When a celebrity becomes popular, their status rises, their salary increases, and the company seems to get a larger share. But Tongtong is no longer the same Tongtong she used to be.
It turns out that without any background or backing, the company could use its resources to manipulate Tongtong.
That's not possible anymore. A phone call can summon the police and tax officials in ten minutes.
It's normal for the police to arrive in ten minutes, but can you believe that the tax authorities can arrive in ten minutes?
And a single phone call is enough to make them leave.
This means that Tongtong can't suffer any grievances at the company in the future, otherwise, she might be threatened and the police and tax officials might just barge into the company in the middle of the night.
This is like a bomb, and one that could explode at any moment.
If you were to ask who company owners fear most, the tax bureau would definitely be at the top of the list, because no one's hands are clean, and once they're investigated, they'll all be silenced.
Moreover, even the tax bureau officials don't know where the people who came to audit the accounts today came from.
Tongtong went from being an actress to becoming an "emperor emeritus," a change that the company's senior management found difficult to accept.
"Who the hell said that guy surnamed Ye is just a shepherd? What shepherd could have such power?" The boss slammed his fist on the table and roared from the head seat.
At the same time, he was also somewhat relieved that he hadn't used public opinion to force Ye Zi to give up the prize money a few days ago.
Seeing that none of the senior executives spoke, the boss said angrily:
"Since we can part ways amicably, let's part ways amicably. I want to see how far she can go without the company's resources."
After the meeting ended, the boss returned to his office, thought for a while, and then called Lao Feng.
“Old Feng, tell me the truth. Back then, when you asked me to talk to them about the bonus, you weren’t referring to those foreigners, were you?”
"No," Old Feng replied after a moment's silence.
"Is it someone from above?" the boss continued to ask.
"no."
"Who is that person?"
"Tell me what happened first," Old Feng replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.
The boss paused for a moment, then recounted what had happened.
After hearing this, Old Feng laughed and said:
"Don't renew the contract. You have a powerful figure above you, and you can't handle it. You'll be the one who suffers in the end."
"Who on earth could have such power?"
"Since you haven't made contact with them yet, it's best not to ask. You can see I have to cooperate obediently."
You'll understand when you encounter it someday.
The boss was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Lao Feng instructed people to keep an eye on Tongtong's movements, while he began to plot his own scheme.
After Ye Zi and Tong Tong left the company, on their way home, Ye Zi suddenly said:
"There's probably no hope of renewing your contract. Why don't you start your own studio?"
"Open my own studio? Is that even possible?"
When Tongtong saw the new contract, she knew that the renewal was probably over. After Yezi dialed Wang Baozhang's number, the matter was no longer worth considering.
She was originally thinking about which agency to join, but Ye Zi directly told her to open her own studio.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Even if we can't sign any artists, we still have you. It'll be easy for you to get roles."
If all else fails, we can invest our own money to produce a show or a movie or something. Once we gain fame, things will naturally develop.
"I'll think about it and then decide. There's no rush."
Sure enough, before she even got home, Tongtong's phone rang. But it wasn't a call; it was a text message with a simple message: the company was giving up on renewing her contract.
Tongtong replied casually and then put the matter out of her mind.
After spending a few days in Beijing, Ye Zi still hadn't received a call from Wang Baozhang, so she couldn't help but call him.
When should I report for duty?
"Just wait for the call."
There has to be some approximate timeframe.
Wang Baozhang said irritably:
"Aren't you going to meet my parents and discuss marriage? You go ahead and do your thing."
"You know how relaxed things are here, didn't you look at the documents?"
"It was because I read the information that I wanted to report on it first, and then I would go about my own business."
"Bullshit, you're just after those perks, aren't you?"
Ye Zi smiled and said:
"It'll be mine sooner or later, so it's normal to get it before I go back to the grasslands."
"You can drive that car, I'll take care of the rest. Just do what you need to do, and we'll contact you if anything comes up."
Wang Baozhang hung up the phone after speaking.
Ye Zi couldn't help but laugh; she had gotten her reward.
It's a done deal that Ye Zi will join the special department, and Wang Baozhang is already processing the formalities, as are other benefits.
They don't receive a salary; as for income, we'll talk about that later.
The key point is welfare.
After Ye Zi joins the special department, her parents, wife, and children will enjoy lifelong care from the state.
The grandchildren won't get this treatment, unless Yezi's son also joins the special department.
The main benefits are medical care and elderly care. No matter how much Ye Zi's family spends on medical treatment, it will be reimbursed. If they don't have the money, they can just call and the special department will send someone to pay. However, this only applies to newcomers who have just joined.
The same goes for elder care. Siqin, Ye Qingshan, Tongtong, and Yezi's children will all have someone to take care of them for life, without any worries.
There are all other benefits as well, which need not be listed one by one.
Finally, there's the car and the identity. That Mengshi vehicle has a hidden button that instantly turns a civilian license plate into a military one. Just enter the license plate number, and Ye Zi's identity information will appear.
Ye Zi's identity requires authorization to be known, which means that at this moment, Ye Zi's identity becomes a protected object in the eyes of others.
With these things in hand, Ye Zi could confidently and recklessly risk her life.
Even when Ye Zi is not around, his family members can still call for help if they encounter difficulties. As long as it's not illegal, Wang Baozhang can find a way to resolve the issue.
Wang Baozhang and Li Erniu were officially assigned to work with Ye Zi, with one responsible for handling all logistical issues and the other for the safety of Ye Zi's family.
Of course, they were the main force, but not the whole team. The special department itself only sent out the two of them; the rest needed to contact the various relevant departments at the scene of the incident.
But don't underestimate Wang Baozhang and Li Erniu; they are both elite individuals.
