Chapter 009 Conditions
In addition, Lu Wei did not forget another key point in President Li's words - the non-compete agreement. She had learned about the relevant information in advance.
Domestic labor laws clearly stipulate that the period of non-competition cannot exceed two years, and the company is also required to provide the parties with a certain amount of financial compensation every month.
Although she is not clear about the specific regulations abroad, as long as she does not work in the entertainment industry in the end, it will not have any impact.
This happened at the last moment.
It does increase the workload of the brain.
Fortunately, the termination conditions are clearly stated, so there is no need to guess or test them anymore.
A verbal promise is still not enough. I have to take advantage of the fact that President Li’s promise is still hot and will not easily go back on his word. I have to ask the company for a written statement as a backup, so as not to be left hanging in the balance.
"You guys go back and think about it carefully. I will notify you in advance when the program crew comes for trial recording. Don't fall behind in basic practice these days." After Cui Yajing said the last sentence, she turned her gaze to President Li.
"Okay, let's stop here. Let's all go back and think about it carefully." Li Hongxiu didn't have anything else to add, so he stood up and walked out.
Cui Yajing put away the folder and followed closely behind, and Lu Wei quickly stood up and caught up.
Only after leaving the conference room did Lu Wei say, "Sister Yajing, wait a minute."
"Do you have any other questions?" Cui Yajing stopped and turned to look at Lu Wei in confusion.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yajing, I may not have confidence in myself. Regarding the termination of the contract, can the company provide a written explanation?" Lu Wei blinked his big eyes and spoke in a very sincere tone.
Now that things have come to this, she no longer cares what the small workshop thinks of her.
"You..." Cui Yajing really didn't see any inferiority complex in Lu Wei. The king's new clothes were more real than her.
Seeing Cui Yajing's face filled with suspicion and disbelief, Lu Weiren was paralyzed. Shouldn't the agent follow her instructions at this point? Where was her leading lady's aura? Was it gone?
[Protagonist's Halo: It's hilarious, you've never owned me.]
"Sister Yajing, I'm serious. You know, even if I'm lucky enough to participate in the recording, there won't be any shots." Lu Wei's tone was so sincere that he almost grabbed his agent's shoulders, shook him left and right, and yelled.
Cui Yajing, who tasted a bit of the heartfelt taste, sighed. It was indeed difficult to guarantee the amount of shots of Lu Wei. Even though she was a local, she could still complain: Those who understand will understand.
But she really didn't know what to say. Others hoped that the contract would not be terminated and the group could continue its activities, but Lu Wei didn't have any illusions or hopes at all, and she was also afraid that the company would not fulfill its promise.
How is this possible.
Capital is not so easy to talk to. In the end, relevant agreements must be signed with them. It is not known who will suffer the loss. It will be difficult to find a buyer willing to pay the penalty at that time.
Seeing that the agent remained silent, Lu Wei took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Yajing. I know this is a bit embarrassing for you, but I really don't have the courage to go on."
She really wanted to return to her country, to the embrace of her motherland. She had no sense of belonging to this world to begin with, and was kicked to Korea, where she was fed three meals a day of straw, which would make even a dog shake its head.
Thinking of Lu Wei's foreign identity, Cui Yajing replied with a headache: "Okay, don't leave yet, I'll ask for you."
"Sorry to bother you, Sister Yajing. You've worked hard." Lu Wei immediately suppressed his sad expression after saying this. He stood at the door of the office as serious and solemn as a Sichuan opera face-changing, acting as the door god.
Cui Yajing was stunned by what she saw. She looked at Lu Weiyi with disdain, bent her fingers and gently knocked on the door of President Li's office.
"Dongdongdong~"
"Enter."
Walking into the president's office, Cui Yajing's face flashed with some confusion. She was also embarrassed that the artists below made such a request that clearly showed a lack of trust in the company.
If it were a local member of Goryeo, she would definitely ask him to go somewhere cooler first and would never have come to this.
The one who spoke was Lu Wei, who had always been relatively obedient and not competitive.
Li Hongxiu: "Manager Cui, what can I do for you?"
After a moment's hesitation, Cui Yajing carefully chose her words and said, "President, the members don't have much confidence in themselves and are worried that they won't be selected by the program team to participate in the recording. They would like the company to issue a statement of conditions for terminating the contract in advance. Is this possible with you?"
She did not mention Lu Wei's specific name, but summarized it with vague and general words.
Upon hearing this, Li Hongxiu, who was sitting in a leather office chair, did not respond immediately. The only sound in the room was the sound of a pen tapping on the table.
"Does everyone need it? Or..." A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Li Hongxiu's eyes. Being forced to terminate a contract is different from taking the initiative to terminate the contract for others.
The six words "You are teaching me how to do things" instantly came to his mind.
Cui Yajing knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell the truth: "It's Lu Wei. She doesn't seem to want to develop in the entertainment industry in the future."
"Oh, it's her!" Li Hongxiu's dissatisfaction dissipated a little. Family members know their own business. The company did not do a good enough job in dealing with foreign green cards.
Since debuting, Lu Wei's songs have never had more than two parts, and most of them are interjections. On stage, this has saved the company money on dancers. Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that he's feeling discouraged.
Anyway, it was just to add some diversity to the group, so it's not impossible to let her go now.
Cui Yajing stood there anxiously waiting for President Li's response, fearing that he would change his mind and go back on his word.
She didn't dare to easily believe the kindness of the capitalists.
Li Xiuhong pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, just write a termination statement for Lu Wei, including the content related to participating in the MNTB program recording and the non-compete agreement. I'll stamp it and give it to her later."
If it were someone else who took up most of the company's resources and efforts, Li Hongxiu would not be so easy to talk to. He never does business at a loss.
"Thank you, President, for your hard work. I will give you the documents later." Cui Yajing bowed slightly, expressed her gratitude, and then left the office.
Seeing her agent come out of the room, Lu Wei's face showed a hint of anticipation. Nothing is absolute. If the company insisted on blocking her from doing so, she would have no way to argue.
"Alright, stop standing here and come with me," Cui Yajing said unhappily. She had finally understood. If Lu Wei's brain was sent to a scrapyard for recycling, it would definitely not meet the 90% new recycling standard. She was a bit clever.
Lu Wei saw the words "good things are coming" on his agent's face, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile.
At first glance, he looked like a completely different person, the difference between when he was smiling and when he wasn't smiling was enormous. Cui Yajing was about to retract her earlier comments about Lu Wei; this little brat clearly knew how to laugh, and his smile was far more infectious than the forced one on stage.
It made her doubt herself a little. Could it be that Lu Wei was always smiling fakely?
It shouldn't be that serious...at most, I just can't control my expression on stage. Cui Yajing simply convinced herself and successfully put the matter behind her.
The two of them walked towards the agent's office one after the other. The other members had just finished sorting out their emotions and walked out of the meeting room. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were a little confused.
"What could she possibly need to find Sister Yajing for?" Han Xuanzhen expressed deep doubt.
Zhang Haixi peeked in and agreed, "Indeed, he's usually quiet, but now he's probably trying to find out about the show recording."
Now that someone was chatting him up, Han Xuanzhen started to complain even more vigorously: "Tsk... I never realized she was so ambitious."
"Who says it's not? I usually pretend to be pretty good."
"Okay! Stop guessing. You might as well practice dancing instead of spending this time." Kim Nayeon frowned and stopped everyone's groundless speculation, changing the topic elsewhere.
Just found a life-saving straw, and already you have the leisure to make trouble. You really have nothing better to do.
The excitement was interrupted. Except for the two people who had not yet satisfied their desire to complain, the others felt it was boring to continue watching and left in different directions.
Lu Wei ignored the gaze behind him and followed his agent into the office. He saw Cui Jingya turning on the air conditioner and closing the door casually.
"I'll give you the termination agreement later. The company has been very good to you, so you should be grateful. Don't talk nonsense when the production crew comes." Cui Yajing warned Lu Wei with her words. She didn't want to do something bad with good intentions and end up in a mess.
"I know, please rest assured."
Lu Wei nodded vigorously. She was not stupid and could not have any bad intentions. She just wanted to kick the garbage company out of the universe and out of the Milky Way to prevent it from harming other people.
How can this not be considered revenge?
Unfortunately, she lacks the strength of Tianwang Liangpo, otherwise she would be the one in charge here today.
Cui Yajing didn't notice that Lu Wei's words were not what he meant. When it came to keeping to one's own ways, she was still willing to trust Lu Wei.
Anyone who goes to the company right after the meeting to ask for a clarification of the commitment is not a fool.
Unfortunately, many people don’t understand that if you don’t want to get hurt and get ripped off, you should never give merchants the opportunity to hoard goods.
Cui Yajing shook her head, quickly sorted out the relevant documents, and went to the president's office to get them stamped while the iron was hot.
When handing Lu Wei the termination agreement, Cui Yajing pursed her lips and kindly reminded him, "Remember to keep all the relevant documents safe."
"Thank you, Sister Yajing, I understand." Lu Wei knew what was right and wrong, and bowed sincerely.
If the agent wanted to do something to her detriment, it would be very easy. To get the things so easily, Cui Yajing must have been involved.
"Well, remember to close the door when you leave." Cui Yajing rubbed her temples and continued with her unfinished work. With one salary and three jobs, she was the company's exclusive slave.
Walking out of the company gate, Lu Wei, holding the newly-made instruction manual that detailed the follow-up issues of the agency contract and covered with a brightly colored pie chart, rushed to the next location without stopping.
Looking at the majestic red house before him, Lu Wei nodded in satisfaction. This color scheme was absolutely in line with the aesthetic preferences passed down from our ancestors.
When she is away from home, her motherland is her strongest support. Instead of trusting lawyers she consults online, she prefers to trust the legal aid of the embassy.
It’s definitely not because she can’t afford the consultation fee and wants to get it for free, absolutely not!
I hope she will live a clean life and reject any slander, especially in front of the motherland.
