Chapter 75 Extra Chapter 1: IF Scenario - Jiang Shunian Didn't Run Away: Future Boyfriend
The assistant couldn't fathom the deeper meaning of the name, but a competent subordinate must avoid his curiosity, so he nodded in a very sophisticated manner and prepared to leave.
But Fu Yanli stopped him: "After the establishment of Shixu, we need to sign an artist named Jiang Shunian. His contract with his original company is about to expire. His contract needs to be of the highest level. Draft it and bring it to me for review."
He paused here, his voice softening, "He is my future partner, and you should treat him with the same respect."
The assistant widened his eyes slightly in shock. Mr. Fu is only twenty-six years old, and he's already settled on a partner? And it's a man?
To become Fu Yanli's assistant at such a young age, his ability to read people was first-rate. He immediately said, "Congratulations, President Fu. You and Mr. Jiang are a perfect match."
Fu Yanli's golden eyes sparkled with a smile: "Thank you. Once this is done, go to the finance department to collect your bonus."
"Yes, Mr. Fu, I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage."
The assistant beamed with delight, but then immediately realized that President Fu had just been showing off his affection for his wife.
Love truly makes people blind.
After his assistant left, Fu Yanli opened his phone, saved Jiang Shunian's number as "future boyfriend," scrolled down, found a business partner with connections in the entertainment industry, and made the call.
Jiang Shunian was unaware that he had become the future Mrs. Fu. At this moment, he was mentally preparing to argue with her tomorrow.
In the evening, Jiang Shunian carefully applied the ointment to herself again, hoping to recover as soon as possible.
Jiang Shunian has always taken care of himself since he was a child, and he feels that he has taken very good care of himself.
Jiang Shunian was young after all, and after another nap, his body had recovered most of its strength.
After having breakfast, he planned to go back to the company to settle accounts with Zhang Yuan and, incidentally, mention the contract termination.
Zhang Yuan has to give him an explanation for what happened the night before last.
Jiang Shunian originally wanted to take the subway, but considering that the subway seats are made of hard plastic, and for the sake of his backside, he ultimately chose to take a taxi.
I'll have to reimburse him for the fare later.
The company was located in a remote, old-fashioned office building. When Jiang Shunian arrived at the company, Zhang Yuan happened to be there as well.
Upon seeing Jiang Shunian, Zhang Yuan preemptively accused him, saying, "Jiang Shunian, do you know how badly you've ruined our lives?"
Jiang Shunian was so angry he almost laughed: "You really have the nerve to say that! What was the contract like? I said I wouldn't drink with clients or accept any unspoken rules, and you agreed to that. Do you have any conscience at all? Let me tell you, you have to give me an explanation today, or I'll call the police and accuse you of using illegal drugs."
“Go ahead and report it. What evidence do you have?” Zhang Yuan was confident about this. “Jiang Shunian, let me tell you, you only have two paths to take now. Either you come with me to apologize to that guy and sleep with him, or you wait to be banned from the entire internet.”
Jiang Shunian was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it: "What did you say? What right do you have to blacklist me?"
“That’s just how the world works, the strong prey on the weak.” Zhang Yuan finally straightened his back, a smug smile on his face. “That person who can control everything in the entertainment industry, dealing with a little orphan like you with no background is a piece of cake.”
Jiang Shunian had known Zhang Yuan for two years, so he naturally knew that Zhang Yuan wasn't lying at this moment.
He was furious and wanted to confront that so-called big shot, but he also knew that this kind of thing was very common in the entertainment industry. He had also encountered directors who hinted that he should sleep with them to get roles, but back then he just refused. Anyway, there were so many acting opportunities. As long as he was a good actor, he would always get roles and there would always be normal production crews.
Jiang Shunian felt disgusted, utterly disgusted, but there was absolutely no way he would submit.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll retire from the industry!"
Zhang Yuan didn't expect Jiang Shunian to be so resolute, and advised, "Why are you so young and impetuous? That person is very sentimental and won't be too painful. You're about to become a huge star, are you really willing to retire from the entertainment industry?"
Jiang Shunian chuckled: "Stop pretending. Here's the termination agreement. I'll sign it and leave right away."
“Since you’re so determined, we need to calculate the compensation you need to pay to the company,” Zhang Yuan said. “One clause in the company contract states that you cannot cause losses to the company due to personal reasons. Last night, that big shot was very angry and has already withdrawn several of the company’s partnerships, so you will have to pay at least one million.”
As Jiang Shunian's agent, he naturally knew how much Jiang Shunian had in savings. He lived frugally, usually eating meals provided by the company or film crew, and his savings were probably around 700,000 yuan. He definitely couldn't afford to lose 1 million yuan.
Jiang Shunian was so angry that he calmed down. Before leaving, he put a fruit knife in his pocket. He didn't intend to do anything, but just wanted to protect himself so that Zhang Yuan wouldn't try to scheme against him again.
He immediately drew his knife, pulled it from its sheath, and calmly said, "Then let's die together. Zhang Yuan, do you think your life is worth a million?"
Growing up safely as a little orphan is not easy. Although Jiang Shunian seems to have a good temper, he actually has a ruthless streak, commonly known as "I'll fight even if I have nothing to lose".
Zhang Yuan was indeed frightened, because he knew that Jiang Shunian was truly capable of such a thing. This was also one of the reasons why Zhang Yuan dared not take the initiative to find Jiang Shunian; he was afraid that this kid might really get ruthless and stab him.
Just then, the company boss pushed open the door and was startled to see Jiang Shunian holding a knife.
He looked very unwell. He had just received a call from an investor who said that they had offended Jiang Shunian and that if they could not obtain Jiang Shunian's forgiveness, their company would have no resources in the entertainment industry in the future. He was told to think carefully before acting.
This investor has a very powerful background, and the boss dares not doubt it at all. But when did Jiang Shunian get to know such a powerful person?
The boss felt an extreme headache and quickly came over to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, what are you all doing? Shu Nian, put the knife away. You're in the prime of your life, are you going to give it up? It's not worth it. What happened the night before last was our mistake, I apologize to you. Whatever compensation you want, just say the word. I've already had the termination contract drafted, it'll be ready soon. You can terminate the contract today, there are no compensation clauses."
The unexpected turn of events made Jiang Shunian feel like it was all a dream; he thought he would have to shed blood to leave safely today.
He understood what the boss meant, thought about it carefully, and said, "Then I want 10,000 yuan in compensation, plus the taxi fare I took when I arrived, and 50 yuan for the medicine."
The boss originally thought Jiang Shunian would ask for an exorbitant amount, and he was prepared to grit his teeth and agree as long as the amount wasn't too outrageous. However, he didn't expect Jiang Shunian to only ask for 10,000 yuan and some miscellaneous compensation.
But what about the cost of the medicine? Did he have his stomach pumped?
"Okay, I'll give you 20,000." The boss readily agreed.
Jiang Shunian was finally satisfied; he hadn't expected the boss to be such a nice person.
Soon, the staff from the artist management department brought over the termination contract. Jiang Shunian carefully reviewed it and, after confirming that there were no hidden clauses, signed it.
After Jiang Shunian left, Zhang Yuancai asked the boss, "Why did you let him go so easily?"
“What can we do if we don’t let him go? He has powerful connections.” The boss looked at Zhang Yuan’s ordinary yet sleazy face. “Can you at least find out who’s behind you before sending them out in the future? If this happens again, I’ll fire you.”
Zhang Yuan was also stunned. Jiang Shunian had a powerful background? He hadn't heard of that.
The boss called the investor back and sincerely said that he had terminated the contract with Jiang Shunian and given him compensation that satisfied Jiang Shunian.
It can be said that he has mastered the art of language.
The investor then called Fu Yanli back immediately, saying that everything had been taken care of.
He even joked with a smile: "Are you going to follow the path of other CEOs and keep a minor celebrity as your mistress? But I inquired about that minor celebrity, and he doesn't accept unspoken rules. Otherwise, with his acting skills and looks, he would have become famous long ago."
Fu Yanli said solemnly, "It's not about being kept as a mistress, it's about becoming a future partner."
The Fu family is known for their deep affection and devotion. Jiang Shunian's appearance and personality perfectly match his vision of a future partner, so he will pursue her earnestly and strive to settle down with her as soon as possible.
"He's a boy, are you going to have no male heir? Your Fu family only has one son per generation, do you think your parents will agree to that?"
“They can’t interfere with me,” Fu Yanli said confidently.
His relationship with Fu Yanli was merely that of business partners who occasionally played golf together. It wasn't appropriate to discuss such a casual relationship, so after offering his blessings, he ended the call.
However, Fu Yanli felt that what the other party said made some sense. Since he had made up his mind about Jiang Shunian, he couldn't let the other party suffer.
So a phone call was made to Shen Lingyi.
Shen Lingyi said in a deliberately affected tone, "Oh, who is this? I haven't heard from you in so long, I don't even remember you."
“Mom, I want to tell you something. I’ve met my life partner. His name is Jiang Shunian. He’s a boy and he’s currently an actor. I’m pursuing him, but he’s already rejected me once.” Fu Yanli said, “I hope you won’t be prejudiced against him because he’s a boy. If there’s anything you disagree with, we can talk about it. Don’t go to him.”
Shen Lingyi was indeed very surprised. Although the Fu family never restricted the feelings of their younger generation, their good son had suddenly become gay, and given Fu Yanli's stubborn temper, he would definitely not fall in love with someone else. So, her future grandchildren were gone just like that.
However, Shen Lingyi grasped the key point: his son was rejected?
How could someone refuse his son? Shen Lingyi became curious about this Jiang Shunian.
Fu Yanli has been very opinionated since he was a child, and he also has terrible obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since he was three years old, Shen Lingyi has been unable to interfere with many things in his life, let alone Fu Yanli telling her this so solemnly.
Since we can't interfere, we might as well agree readily to avoid upsetting the younger generation.
"Sure, you decide for yourself. Bring her to meet me when you've caught her."
"Okay, thank you for your kindness, Mom. Please also inform my dad about this."
"OK."
Jiang Shunian happily left with the termination contract and 20,000 yuan. Just as she stepped out the door, her phone rang. It was another text message from Fu Yanli: "I was worried that your company would use the contract to make things difficult for you, so I asked someone to put pressure on them. I just got a reply saying that you have successfully terminated the contract and received compensation. Is that true?"
Jiang Shunian stared blankly at his phone screen, suddenly realizing that he couldn't read properly. So, the reason he was able to terminate his contract so smoothly today wasn't because he was scared by the watermelon knife, but because Fu Yanli was helping him.
