Chapter 23 Can You Afford the Compensation?
He kept his hand on it for a long time without turning the page. Even Elara noticed his abnormality: "Mr. Han, what's the problem?"
Han Xi looked up, his deep black eyes a little vague.
He thought for a moment, the gleam in his eyes flickering slightly, with an indescribable nobility and elegance, he slowly said: "It's okay, put the things down, you can go out first."
Elara hesitated slightly, then placed the work arrangement in front of him and said, "Yes, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."
As soon as the office door closed, Han Xi immediately picked up the phone next to him and dialed.
Soon, the line was connected and Lin Mo's voice came: "Boss, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me."
Han Xi frowned: "What? Is there something wrong with her?"
"No, it's just that my wife has been upstairs for almost an hour and hasn't come down yet. I'm worried..."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Lin Mo squatted on the street corner opposite Yaoxing and waited patiently for instructions.
After a long while, the boss's voice slowly came: "...Don't worry, she should be able to handle this matter herself."
Before Lin Mo could answer, he paused and said, "Yes, she can do it herself."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo looked at his phone with a look of surprise on his face.
Boss, are you worried or not?
-
Lin Lan's office.
Fang Li was too lazy to look at Song Yuchen again. She avoided him and looked at Lin Lan behind the desk, and directly stated her purpose.
"Mr. Lin, I've already mentioned the termination of the contract to you on the phone. I'm here today to handle the formalities."
Termination of contract?
Several people turned their eyes to her again, obviously not expecting that she would bring up the matter of contract termination at this juncture.
After all, she and Yu Wei have been vying for the role of the heroine in the new movie since the project was launched.
Outsiders don't know, but they all know that the director of the drama "Hidden Beauty" originally had his eyes on Fang Li as the female lead. It was Yu Wei who persuaded the company leaders, the crew and Song Yuchen to get the role.
In their opinion, Fang Li was holding a grudge.
The reason why she endured for so long was to wait for Song Yuchen to fulfill his promise and wait for the role of the heroine in the new movie to be decided so that Yu Wei could be kicked out directly.
But now, Song Yuchen hasn't expressed his opinion yet, and she actually directly proposed to terminate the contract?
Was this a threat, or was he truly disheartened? Not only Qu Fan, but even Lin Lan was a little confused.
"Are you sure?" Lin Lan asked.
Fang Li: "Boss Lin, do you think I'm joking?"
“.......”
"Just because I asked you to apologize, you want to terminate the contract? Didn't you listen to a word I said to you before?"
Song Yuchen was always the first to lose his temper: "Your contract still has more than two years until it expires. Do you know how much liquidated damages you'll have to pay if you file for termination now?"
"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."
"I also hope it has nothing to do with me, but can you afford to pay for it yourself?!"
Song Yuchen's face was filled with anger and he was shouting his words. Fang Li really didn't understand why he was so angry.
There was a silence and no warmth in her cold eyes. She just looked at him quietly, but her words were directed to Lin Lan behind her.
"Please, Mr. Lin, calculate the exact amount of liquidated damages."
"Fang Li! Could you please stop making trouble?"
Song Yuchen's face was full of pain, and he was about to pull Fang Li, as if he wanted to take her away first.
Unexpectedly, just as his hand was about to touch Fang Li's arm, a figure suddenly appeared on the side, blocking his movement.
At this moment, everyone's attention turned to the man who had been following Fang Li like a transparent man.
"Who are you?"
Yu Tian didn't say anything.
Song Yuchen looked at the man who was completely different from the last time in the elevator, and looked at Fang Li behind him in disbelief: "Who is he?!"
Fang Li raised her cold eyes and looked at him: "Who are you questioning me with? Mr. Song, there are some things I have said clearly enough. Do you need me to say it again in front of everyone?"
"......" Song Yuchen frowned, looking at Fang Li's sad expression, his face darkened little by little.
Unexpectedly, Fang Li was really determined this time, and she spoke so decisively and without any mercy in front of the company leaders.
"Fang Li, you've always been smart. You should know the importance of this movie. As long as you participate, even if it's just a supporting role, then you..."
Fang Li didn't even give Song Yuchen a chance to finish his words, and raised her hand to stop him.
"Whether it's the main character or the supporting role, I don't want to act, and I don't even bother to act! I want to terminate the contract. Do you understand?"
Fang Li no longer looked at him, but instead looked directly at Lin Lan across from her: "Boss Lin, please send me the amount of liquidated damages later, and I will deposit it into the company account as soon as possible."
He added, "I'll send someone to go through the rest of the process once the liquidated damages are paid. If it's not necessary, I probably won't come again."
After Fang Li finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door without even glancing at Song Yuchen.
"Fang Li, don't be impulsive!"
Although Qu Fan was prepared, he was still shocked.
After being shocked, he immediately tried to keep Fang Li.
After all, Fang Li is an artist under his management. Although her career has been bumpy over the years and she is not very famous now, he quite likes her unyielding character.
Besides, he was probably the only one in the company who knew the most about her and Song Yuchen. Fang Li had had a hard time these years, and Song Yuchen obviously had feelings for Fang Li in his heart.
It's such a pity that two people who love each other have to separate like this.
"Termination of the contract is not a matter of a single word. Think twice before acting."
Song Yuchen's eyes were always on Fang Li. Looking at her cold and resolute expression, he suddenly felt unsure, or to be more precise, panicked.
She was even more flustered than the last time she broke up with him in the apartment.
He clenched his fists, but found that his hands were shaking slightly, and he didn't have the strength to clench his fists with his tense face.
He always thought that as long as he held the position of the movie's heroine, Fang Li would sooner or later admit her mistake and return to him.
In the past, she always compromised and always listened to him.
Why now...
Song Yuchen took a deep breath and gave in for the first time.
"Fang Li, I'm really doing this for your own good. If you don't want to..."
"I don't want to."
"you......."
"Whatever it is, I don't want to."
Fang Li simply blocked all his words.
She raised her foot and walked towards the door. Song Yuchen was not only panicked but also completely enraged: "Fang Li, you must be so ruthless. I can apologize for hitting someone and help you get a role. What else do you want?!"
Fang Li, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Song Yuchen. There was a coldness in her clear eyes, which made Song Yuchen's heart sink again.
