Chapter 90 Galaxy Live 1
When the anchors came to her office to submit the savings documents, Ye Xiaoxuan said calmly, "I regret to tell you that, in view of your behavior yesterday, if you want to terminate the contract now, the 50% discount will be gone. Are you sure you still want to terminate the contract?"
Ye Xiaoxuan said this simply and straightforwardly, but in the eyes of several anchors, this was a sign that she was afraid that they would leave and used the termination fee as a threat. They immediately smiled disdainfully and said, "Mr. Ye, who are you trying to scare?"
As soon as Ye Xiaoxuan finished speaking, Mi Tao, who was standing at the front, sneered. She was still wearing the low-cut top that she wore during the live broadcast last night, and her heavily made-up face was full of disdain.
Mi Tao slammed the termination documents on the table and said, "Yeyan Platform said they are willing to pay the penalty for us."
Several other anchors followed suit, and a girl with blue hair even took out her phone to start recording.
"That's good," Ye Xiaoxuan glanced at the camera, her lips slightly raised. She reached out and pressed the call button on the landline:
"Legal Counsel Li, please bring the standard termination contract to my office and notify the Finance Department to prepare to calculate the liquidated damages."
After hanging up the phone, she crossed her fingers and placed them on the table, her eyes calmly scanning everyone:
"Since you have made up your mind to leave, let's follow the formal procedures. The 50% discount is only for friendly terminations, and your actions yesterday constitute malicious competition and violation of Article 3, Clause 7 of the contract."
Mi Tao's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
The office door was pushed open, and Li, a lawyer wearing black-framed glasses, walked in with a stack of documents. Ye Xiaoxuan took the document and turned to a specific page slowly:
"According to the contract, if the anchor publicly disparages the platform or promotes a competitor during the contract period, in addition to the full liquidated damages, he or she must also compensate the platform for the loss of goodwill caused by this."
She turned the file over and pushed it towards Mi Tao:
"This is the breach of contract clause compiled based on your live broadcast last night. You can take a look. The liquidated damages are approximately five times your normal monthly income. Considering that Xinghe is a small company, this figure should not be a big deal for Yeyan."
The blue-haired girl's hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. Mi Tao grabbed the file and quickly browsed through it, her delicately made-up face gradually turning pale.
"This...this is an unfair clause!" Her voice became sharp.
Ye Xiaoxuan stood up, walked to the window and opened the blinds. The sunlight poured in, shining on the green plants in the corner of the office.
"I'll give you two choices." Ye Xiaoxuan said with her back to them, "One is to treat it as a breach of contract. I guarantee that the legal department will strictly enforce it. The other is to withdraw the application for termination and continue to perform the contract, but you must abide by the new regulations."
The office was completely silent. Legal Counsel Li pushed up his glasses and added, "By the way, I'd like to remind you that the Night Flame platform was exposed last month for a scandal of withholding salaries for anchors. Their verbal agreement to pay you for breach of contract is legally..."
"I...I'll think about it." The blue-haired girl suddenly bent down to pick up her phone and hurriedly retreated to the door.
Like a domino effect, other anchors also took back the termination documents, but Mi Tao was the only one who remained standing, digging her nails deeply into the edge of the document.
This is as far as her attitude can go. It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. Normally, she would have no interest in making things difficult for this group of people, but their behavior yesterday was a slap in her face.
Face may not be so important to workers, but it is absolutely important to executives or bosses.
They have slapped her in the face like this. If she doesn't do something, she will not be able to stay in the company in the future, although this matter itself is quite boring.
"Ms. Mitao..." Legal Affairs Officer Li looked at her inquiringly. "What about you? Have you decided to terminate the contract?"
Mi Tao raised her head suddenly, with a complex emotion in her eyes that Ye Xiaoxuan could not understand: "Little bastard, don't threaten me with these things. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. There is no need for you to cry wolf here."
The sharp voice and the scolding-like reply made Ye Xiaoxuan subconsciously want to cover her ears, but considering that this was indeed impolite, she gave up the idea.
"So you are planning to terminate the contract, right? This way, please."
Ye Xiaoxuan made a gesture to let her go, and Mitao walked out of the office quickly, her high heels making a clicking sound on the marble floor.
Through the glass wall, Ye Xiaoxuan saw her talking excitedly to the phone, and she almost dropped it on the ground several times.
Five minutes later, Mi Tao came back, her momentum obviously weakened, but she still said: "I want to terminate the contract."
Ye Xiaoxuan also expressed her understanding and generously processed a termination contract for her. Over the next week, anchors came to terminate their contracts one after another. Relying on the termination money, the "Xinghe Live" which had originally broken its capital chain was temporarily relieved.
But this has no effect. The problem of Galaxy Live has never been just a problem of capital chain, and normal termination fees alone cannot completely save Galaxy Live's financial problems.
In fact, over the past week, since the termination fee is calculated based on monthly income, except for Mitao, the termination fee for most anchors is only a thousand yuan. It is not that they don’t want to be anchors on Xinghe Live anymore, but they simply don’t want to be an anchor anymore.
Ye Xiaoxuan also expressed her understanding of this. In a sense, this is even a wise choice.
When the last anchor who terminated the contract left, Ye Xiaoxuan rubbed her aching brows and at the same time turned on the live broadcast to see the company's most recent live broadcast after the regulations were announced.
She turned to the computer and pulled up the background data. Since the new regulations were released, some anchors have left the company, signed with other companies or simply retired from the industry, and some anchors have started other attempts.
Among the anchors in the dance area, the best performance was still the little girl Su Yuan that day. Although the number of views of her classical dance live broadcast was average, the comment section was surprisingly harmonious, and there were even messages from several cultural big Vs.
It’s a pity that even though the girl has worked very hard, the amount of rewards for Su Yuan’s live broadcast is still not large, and the number is not amazing.
All I can say is that reality is not like online novels, and there are many things that you cannot accomplish just because you want to.
China is so big, and Nan City is so big. Every year, thousands of people graduate from dance schools. There are many contestants with good looks, good figures, good resources, and high talents, but only a few can really become popular. In a sense, the girl's former operator had certain experience and vision, and the advice he gave was completely in line with reality. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't help but sigh.
But even so, she still called Supervisor Li and said, "This girl in the dance area has good grades. You can pay attention to her and give her more resources if possible."
Manager Li nodded immediately without saying anything else: "Okay." Then he walked out of the office.
