Chapter 539 Penalty for breach of contract
Qiu Jing felt that she had been fooled by Yang Huayue.
When she learned this disheartening news, she was still working overtime in the company. On her desk, there were dozens of employees' resignation letters on one side and a mess of financial accounts on the other. She felt confused and uneasy about the future of the company. She was unwilling to accept this. Was her nearly thirty years of hard work going to be destroyed?
Just then her assistant Zhou Qian knocked on the door and told her that there were rumors flying around about Yang Huayue and He Lushen.
Qiu Jing was furious. She had good intentions to waive the penalty for Yang Huayue's future and financial situation, but she had already found a new partner and was eager to clear up the relationship with her.
She said to Yang Huayue on the phone, "Since you are ruthless, I will not show you any mercy. We will strictly follow the terms of the contract. If you breach the contract again, you will have to pay us 1.8 million yuan in liquidated damages."
1.8 million! ?
Yang Huayue was so shocked by the amount that he broke out in a cold sweat.
1.8 million is not a lot for a second-tier star, and she can earn that much by filming a few movies. But the problem is that Yang Huayue has been unemployed, and the last money in her bank card was also used by her to reward Liu Lan.
She is extremely poor now. Let alone 1.8 million, she can't even take out 18,000.
...
...
"You have already promised me to waive the penalty for breach of contract. How can you go back on your word?" Yang Huayue's tone was also filled with anger.
Qiu Jing said coldly, "I just made a verbal agreement with you. This is not specifically mentioned in our termination agreement."
Yang Huayue was annoyed. When she signed the termination agreement, she was so happy that she didn't even bother to read the details of the agreement. She really couldn't beat this old fox.
Qiu Jing continued, "Your contract with us will expire in two years and two months. Strictly speaking, you should pay 2.2 million yuan in compensation. But I will exempt you from part of it because we have known each other and worked together."
One month is 100,000 yuan in breach of contract compensation, which is clearly stipulated in the original contract, and Yang Huayue also knows it. This is the reason why Tang Tu has not yet terminated his contract with Xinghe. He signed a contract with Xinghe not long ago, and Xinghe's artist contracts are signed for five years. According to this compensation method, Tang Tu has to pay about 4.5 million yuan.
No matter how rich a person is, he wouldn't want to lose 4.5 million all at once. Tang Tu was not satisfied with the amount of 4.5 million and had a very bad relationship with Qiu Jing, and they were almost going to take legal action.
Xinghe Film and Television also has some responsibility for the current situation. Gao Jindong is a senior executive of Xinghe, which has affected Tang Tu's future. If the contract is not terminated, Tang Tu will suffer the same as Yang Huayue, with a sharp drop in income.
In the past, Tang Tu and Qiu Jing had a very close relationship. But this is the reality. In the face of interests, the so-called alumni feelings and gratitude are so fragile that they can be easily destroyed.
Qiu Jing was also exhausted. It could be said that she was the one who discovered Tang Tu and made him famous, but when disaster struck, they had to flee separately.
Gao Jindong committed a sin, but she had to take the blame. The management hired by the company noticed that the company's business situation was not right and they offered to resign one after another. It was useless for her to withhold their resignation reports. They simply refused to come to work on the grounds that they could not get their salaries. Now Qiu Jing was almost deserted by everyone.
1.8 million and 4.5 million cannot change the current situation that Xinghe is about to decline, but she must fight for it back.
"The ancients said that actors are heartless, and there is some truth to that," Qiu Jingru said to Yang Huayue.
This sentence was undoubtedly a great insult to Yang Huayue. She sneered, "I feel more and more that my decision to change jobs is a wise one. I know you dislike me because of Gao Jindong. Who made me his man? But have you ever thought that I have worked for Xinghe for nearly three years and earned at least tens of millions for you. Which of your orders did I not obey? Which of your requests did I not carry out? I am not like other artists who argue with you for remuneration. I accept all the money you give me. All of this, you just ignore it and even ask for 1.8 million from me. Haha, all the hard work I put in was summarized by you in the end with the sentence 'actors are ruthless'. May I ask who is really ruthless? You are really a black-hearted capitalist. Even to the end, you will squeeze every last drop of blood out of me!"
Perhaps because she was too angry, Yang Huayue forgot to control her voice when she spoke, and her words sounded a bit hysterical. They were heard by Liu Lan who was going upstairs and the Tao brothers and sisters who arrived late.
Yang Huayue pressed the hang-up button heavily and walked out from the corner of the stairs. She was shocked to see three pairs of eyes looking at her at the same time.
Liu Man frowned and asked her, "Professor Qiu asked you for 1.8 million?"
Yang Huayue knew that she couldn't hide it from the clever Liu Lan, so she could only nod and said, "She knew that I had signed a contract with Huaguang, so she wanted me to pay the penalty for breach of contract."
