Chapter 010 If you don't terminate the contract...
The lady at the front desk nodded: "Sure, Mr. Li is in the office."
"Okay, thank you." Xie Luoshu and Lawyer Chen took the elevator and went straight to the chairman's office.
"Knock knock." Xie Luoshu knocked on the door politely.
"Who?" Li Xinlei was having a headache because of the issues concerning the artists under his company, and his tone was very bad.
"Shelo."
Li Xinlei stood up suddenly, then realized that he had lost his composure and sat down again: "Come in."
"Mr. Li." Xie Luoshu pushed open the door.
"Hey Luo Shu." Li Xinlei greeted with a smile, "Come and sit down... here..."
Li Xinlei saw Xie Luoshu's appearance, his eyes flickered: "Luoshu, why are you wearing this outfit... and not wearing any makeup?"
"What?" Xie Luoshu raised his eyebrows, "Doesn't this dress look good?"
"No...just."
"That's it." Xie Luoshu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.
Afterwards, Li Xinlei saw a man in a neat suit and with a serious expression following Xie Luoshu.
"This is Chen Shu, Attorney Chen," Xie Luoshu said.
Li Xinlei's smile was stiff: "Chen...Lawyer Chen."
He had heard of Chen Shu's name at a drinking party. The man lost a lawsuit against Gu. The lawyer was called Chen Shu. Chen Shu was said to be the lawyer appointed by Gu Group.
That can't be true. Isn't it said that Xie Luoshu just married into the family, was not favored, and spent his days in debauchery? Why would Mr. Gu give the Gu family's lawyer to Xie Luoshu?
As a businessman, Li Xinlei's mind naturally brightened: "Hello, hello, I am Li Xinlei..."
"I know." Chen Shu pushed his glasses, "The chairman of Tiantian Entertainment Group is suspected of..."
"Hey." Li Xinlei stopped Chen Shu, "Lawyer Chen, let's have a cup of coffee and sit down to talk."
Li Xinlei was sweating profusely, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead: "Luo Shu, why did you come here today?"
"Mr. Xie came here today to terminate the contract." Chen Shu took out a document from his briefcase. "Mr. Xie means that he can bring his child to participate in the variety show, but after the show, he will terminate the contract with the company unconditionally."
"This..." Li Xinlei grabbed the handkerchief.
Xie Luoshu was a cash cow that he had finally managed to kidnap. He had originally been attracted to him because he was good-looking, but he had never expected that he could be so rude and offend people.
Just when he was about to be put on ice, he managed to get close to Mr. Gu, which was a big hit. Black and red is also red, who knew that Xie Luoshu would be such a slacker. This time, the Baby Variety Show was an opportunity he finally got. If he terminated the contract after the Baby Variety Show ended, wouldn't it be like the cooked duck flew away when it was about to be in his mouth?
"I'm afraid not." Li Xinlei shook his head. "It's like this, Lawyer Chen. Xie Luoshu has signed a contract with our company. You can terminate the contract! Just give us the penalty and we'll terminate the contract."
Xie Luoshu sat on the sofa: "So Mr. Li means that the contract will not be terminated?"
"Of course." Li Xinlei forced a fake smile on his face, "Luo Shu, you see, we have been doing pretty well these years."
"That's what you think, not what I think." Xie Luoshu's words shut Li Xinlei up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, either we terminate the contract or we meet in court?"
"What?" Li Xinlei was furious and slammed the table. "Xie Luoshu, who gave you the courage to sue me?"
Compared to Li Xinlei, Xie Luoshu was much calmer: "It's not you anyway."
Thinking of the sound Li Xinlei made when he slammed the table just now, Xie Luoshu shook his head secretly. It hurt just to hear it.
In fact, it was really painful. Li Xinlei silently withdrew his hand, and endured the pain: "You...Xie Luoshu, let me tell you, we have written it clearly in black and white, and you signed it yourself. Even if you want to sue, you can't do it?"
"Oh? Really?" Xie Luoshu winked at Lawyer Chen.
Chen Shu pushed his silver-rimmed glasses and said, "Mr. Li, according to the law: ..."
Chen Shu said a lot and finally came to the conclusion: "In summary, the contract signed between you and Mr. Xie is an unfair contract. We have the right to propose termination. If Mr. Li disagrees and the private mediation fails, we can only see you in court."
"By the way." Chen Shu smiled confidently, "Mr. Li, according to the contract, the company needs to provide artists with at least three job opportunities every year, and apart from this baby, Mr. Xie has not had any work for almost a year."
Li Xinlei's face turned pale. This clause in the contract was actually written to deceive people. Those newcomers who knew nothing saw this clause and thought that they would have three job opportunities every year, which would at least ensure that they would not starve to death, so they were deceived into signing the contract.
"What? What does Mr. Li think now?" Xie Luoshu smiled.
What a joke! He did his homework in advance. Otherwise he wouldn't have come. Who wants to fight a battle they're not prepared for?
"Luo Shu." Li Xinlei's expression was grim. "You know, the company has been in a bad state recently. Except for you, none of the artists are doing well..."
"Stop." Xie Luoshu raised his hand, raised his beautiful eyes, looked at Li Xinlei with a smile, and said with a teasing tone, "Mr. Li, are you trying to play the emotional card with me?"
"Mr. Li!" The assistant's voice came from the door.
Li Xinlei was so angry that he opened the door and said, "Why are you yelling? Can't you see I'm in trouble?!"
The assistant was startled and lowered her head: "But..."
"But what but?!" Li Xinlei said mercilessly, "You come to me when you encounter problems! Then why did I hire you? You are a bunch of useless rubbish! Get out of here right now!"
The assistant carefully held the corner of her clothes with both hands. When she heard this, she raised her head suddenly: "Mr. Li! I just..."
"That's enough." Li Xinlei waved his hands, looking unyielding. "I don't want to hear any explanation. What are you still doing standing here? Get out of here."
Xie Luoshu didn't expect that Li Xinlei would fire someone directly when he was angry. This was not what he wanted to see.
Xie Luoshu stood up and said, "Mr. Li is a little angry. Drink a glass of water to calm down."
"Haha." Since Xie Luoshu wanted to terminate the contract, Li Xinlei stopped pretending and didn't give Xie Luoshu a good look. "Since you want to terminate the contract, fine, then terminate the contract. But our company has worked so hard to train you for so long, it's not possible to get nothing."
Xie Luoshu sneered: "Nothing, Mr. Li, you really don't feel guilty at all when you say this."
The contract clearly stated a 20:80 split. Xie Luoshu even wondered if the original owner had never been to school to dare to sign a 20:80 split contract.
There is nothing left. The one who has nothing is obviously the original owner. She originally had a pretty face, but after the original owner had her first public quarrel, the company decided to go the black and red route, with heavy makeup, slasher style, and non-mainstream style.
It's just a black and red thing, there's no need to do this. But... the original owner seemed to enjoy it.
Li Xinlei is a black-hearted capitalist, so how could he feel embarrassed?
Li Xinlei's eyes were filled with the shrewdness of a capitalist: "I have no guilt at all. This is what is written in the contract. Besides, if this really goes to court, you won't look good either."
"Then don't bother Mr. Li." Xie Luoshu thought for a moment, "Wa Zong's notice fee is still 28%. If there is other work, I won't bother the company. I will give the company one million as a breach of contract fee. What do you think?"
"Okay." Li Xinlei weighed the pros and cons. He felt that he would not lose anything anyway, and he would get a million for free. Besides, what other jobs could Xie Luoshu have?
Li Xinlei thinks Xie Luoshu won't be able to stir up any trouble. Recently, I haven't heard of any brokerage company or broker looking for Xie Luoshu. After the contract is terminated, there will be no company. When the heat is over, Xie Luoshu will be useless.
Li Xinlei doesn't believe that Xie Luoshu can really clear his name on the baby variety show. After all, the original owner is a fool. He was coaxed into dressing up ugly and believed it just because the agent and assistant said it looked good. Although he has changed his outfit now, it is likely that the people of the Gu family did not want him to ruin the reputation of the Gu family.
There was no way. Who could have prevented Li Xinlei from knowing that the person in Xie Luoshu's shell had changed? If he knew, Li Xinlei would have slapped himself in the face.
Let you agree, let you agree!
"Then let's make a written agreement." Xie Luoshu said with a satisfied smile.
"What kind of written agreement do you want?" Li Xinlei waved his hands. "I, Li Xinlei, want to keep my word. When the time comes, just come to the company and find me."
"In that case..."
After Xie Luoshu left, the front desk lady immediately took out her cell phone and sent a message to her sisters.
A cat's paw: Aaaaaaaah!
Scumbags must die: Come on, what are you doing?
A cat's paw: Guess who I saw?
The scumbag must die:?
The scumbag must die: You didn’t see your idol Bai Wenyu.
A cat's paw: Oh, no.
Scumbags Must Die: Then what are you excited about?
A cat's paw: I saw Xie Luoshu!
Scumbags must die: Xie Luoshu? Isn't he the unpopular character from Killer Matt? Didn't he marry a rich man and become a trending topic? She was on the hot search list for several days.
Bad men must die: Didn't the rich man have a child? Xie Luoshu used to be someone's stepfather.
A cat's paw: Yes, yes, that's him!
Scumbags Must Die: ...Your aesthetic has been downgraded?
A cat's paw: ...
A cat paw: No! He is from our company! I saw him today! He was not wearing those eye-catching clothes, nor was he wearing any makeup. He is really good-looking in person!
Scumbags must die: ...Is this true or false?
A cat's paw: Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you?
The scumbag must die: Where are the photos?
The scumbag must die: There are no photos and no evidence, I don’t believe it.
The lady at the front desk bit her fingers and was about to cry. Ugh, I forgot to take a photo.
A cat's paw: Woo woo woo, I forgot.
The scumbag must die: ...
The receptionist put down her phone and saw a middle-aged man in a neat suit holding a baby walking into the company gate.
The front desk lady: Don't say that. I've been single for a long time, and I see that middle-aged men are still charming.
"Hello." The lady at the front desk smiled. "Do you have a reservation?"
Steward Lin shook his head: "No."
"Sorry." The front desk lady followed the procedure, but the clothes on the kid looked familiar, "No reservation..."
Steward Lin said, "We are here to look for Mr. Xie Luoshu."
"Xie Luoshu." The front desk lady just remembered that the clothes on this kid were exactly the same as Xie Luoshu's. She remembered the message her best friend had just sent him.
[Could it be that... Xie Luoshu is this kid's stepfather! Then who is this person...]
Yanyan nodded slightly: Yes, that’s right.
