Chapter 210

When Luo Quan and Wen Xia saw this news, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

Although the trending search had been removed, under the topics related to "Chuangshao," there were still many netizens questioning Penguin, and there were also many comments demanding the cancellation of Jiang Yuner's eligibility.

The matter was still continuing to ferment. If Penguin continued to sit idly by, Jiang Yuner would probably really only have the path of being forced to withdraw from the competition.

Reasonably speaking, Penguin should have been clear about Jiang Yuner's identity when she first participated in the audition. In this sensitive period, they also knew what kind of controversy it would cause to let a South Korean participate in the show.

With Penguin's caution, they shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, so when Wen Xia was a bit anxious, Luo Quan always felt that the matter was definitely not that simple.

Just when Wen Xia was considering whether to post a Weibo for Jiang Yuner, Penguin's follow-up move came.

It was a personal statement about Jiang Yuner issued by the "Chuangshao" production team:

Jiang Yuner, female

Born on 1999.1.5, Seoul, South Korea.

Education: High school

Mother: Lin Zhenxian, ancestral home Seoul, South Korea, Korean ethnicity.

Father: Jiang Yuan, ancestral home Changchun City, Jilin, China, Han ethnicity.

Jiang Yuner just turned eighteen a few months ago. Nominally, she is South Korean, but she has not yet truly chosen her nationality. According to the production team's understanding, Jiang Yuner herself is more inclined to choose to join Chinese nationality.

Because she just returned to the country, she participated in the show, and the relevant procedures have not been handled, so her nationality is currently South Korean.

As soon as this statement came out, the public opinion on the internet instantly reversed.

Everyone knew that Jiang Yuner was a trainee from South Korea, but they didn't expect her father to be a native Chinese, and she herself was willing to join Chinese nationality.

Although China has never recognized dual nationality, that specifically refers to adults. Like this kind of mixed-race child, they can choose their nationality themselves after becoming an adult.

And this is also the simplest and most convenient way for foreigners to join Chinese nationality.

Of course, once she joins Chinese nationality, it means giving up the nationality of the country where she originally lived.

However, judging from the current form, South Korea is far less attractive than China.

And the memories of childhood are not deep. After she was a little older, more than half of the time was spent in training classes and companies. After entering junior high school, Jiang Yuner had very little time to study at school.

So when she needed to make a choice, she didn't have much hesitation.

Although she is not Chinese now, the relevant procedures have been entrusted to acquaintances to handle. This time she returned to China, on the one hand, to participate in the girl group talent show, and on the other hand, to "recognize her ancestors and return to her clan."

Although this was her first time back, she had heard her father talk about this vast and beautiful hometown countless times, and the ones mentioned most were the Songhua River and Changbai Mountain.

These were also the heart-journey stories that Jiang Yuner told when facing the judges at the beginning.

At that time, she showed amazing strength during the audition, but the judges were immediately in a dilemma after knowing her nationality. Fortunately, Jiang Yuner explained in time, and the judges asked their superiors for instructions and got the hint before letting her pass.

And Penguin also deliberately didn't make this matter clear at the beginning, just to wait for it to explode by itself, harvest a wave of popularity, and then clarify it. Jiang Yuner's "loyal son returns to the country" persona would be established, which would be of immense help to her development in China.

It's just that the actual situation still had some deviations, that is, this seemingly fatal exposure actually came from the hands of the companies of those two eliminated trainees.

Although it hasn't been completely hammered, anyone can think with their butt that only they would choose to retaliate after their own trainees were disqualified.

Otherwise, why not expose it earlier or later, but just at this time?

However, the final result didn't change. All those netizens who were filled with righteous indignation before were slapped in the face. Jiang Yuner's fans also carried out a screening, and even through these topics, she attracted a large number of passerby fans.

When she was still a "South Korean" before, most passersby actually had many scruples about wanting to fan her, but now it's different. At most, in half a year, she will be a proper Chinese.

As for having half South Korean blood, that's even less of a matter. Luo Quan wears a white person's face, and her Chinese blood is not as much as Jiang Yuner's, but she can still mix well in China. Do you see anyone on the internet talking about her bloodline now?

The matter was solved lightly, Jiang Yuner became the biggest winner, and those two companies that caused trouble would also eat their own bitter fruit. Even if Penguin didn't clean them up, other companies would have to consider the influence of Penguin when they want to have business dealings with them in the future.

However, this is not what Luo Quan cares about. Her idea is how to solve Jiang Yuner's contract dispute.

In China, except for some special lawsuits, one can entrust lawyers or relatives to appear in court on their behalf.

But Chinese laws and regulations may not necessarily be applicable when placed in South Korea, and the courts there are not completely controlled by the government, and capital intervention is not a fresh thing.

I'm just afraid that Jiang Yuner's boss will use dirty tricks at that time, letting the court use the excuse of cooperating with the case investigation to give Jiang Yuner a mandatory summons. At that time, she will have to return to the country no matter what.

And this will also have a certain impact on her joining Chinese nationality.

In order to solve the matter, Luo Quan finally found Zhou Yangwen.

The show is about to enter a new stage. Zhou Yangwen is also discussing with the producers of the production team at the Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center today. As soon as the meeting ended, he received a call from Luo Quan, saying that she and Wen Xia had something to do with him.

If it were an ordinary person, Zhou Yangwen would definitely have let his assistant solve it, but upon hearing that it was these two cash cows, Zhou Yangwen still attached great importance to it and immediately found a room.

Soon, Luo Quan and Wen Xia took a taxi to the Xiaoshan Film and Television Center and came to the room agreed with Zhou Yangwen.

"I don't know what it is that you two suddenly want to see me for?" Zhou Yangwen looked at the two women and asked with a smile.

"It's about Jiang Yuner." Luo Quan replied, "She encountered some trouble, and we want to..."

Zhou Yangwen smiled: "You are talking about this matter. The company has already solved it. You don't have to worry at all."

"It's not about this morning." Luo Quan shook her head. "It's about her former company's contract."

"Former company?" Zhou Yangwen frowned.

Luo Quan told everything she heard in the bathroom.

After listening to this, Zhou Yangwen's expression was also a bit solemn.

If it were in China, everything would be easy to talk about. Zhou Yangwen has many ways to solve this problem, but Jiang Yuner signed the contract with a South Korean company. Even if Penguin is powerful, its hands can't reach there, and the systems of the two countries are completely different. In that place, money means many things. If it really goes to court, it's hard to say who is more reasonable.

However, the meeting just ended. Jiang Yuner is the person the production team wants to push hard in the second stage of "Chuangshao." If something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome to re-plan.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yangwen decided to call the legal department of Penguin to ask if there was any way to solve it, and at the same time, let his assistant call Jiang Yuner over.

In the nervous and expectant eyes of the three women, Zhou Yangwen finally finished the call and said: "There are two simplest ways: return to the country to fight the lawsuit. As long as the judge is not black-hearted, you will definitely win.

But your talent show road in China will probably come to an end. Even if the production team is willing to wait for you, so many audiences and trainees cannot stop the recording of the show for you alone."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Yuner's expression didn't change much. This was what she had expected, and she was already mentally prepared.

"Then what is the second way?" Luo Quan asked hurriedly.

Zhou Yangwen continued: "Pay the liquidated damages and execute the contract. From then on, you and that company will have no connection, which is the so-called spending money to avoid disaster.

However, this liquidated damage must be paid according to the amount agreed upon when you signed the contract at that time, which is how much the company says, you have to pay how much. Do you remember how much the liquidated damages on the contract are?"

Mentioning this, Jiang Yuner's face suddenly turned pale, and her body was also swaying.

Seeing Jiang Yuner's appearance, the other three basically knew that the liquidated damages must be a sky-high price.

Jiang Yuner said bitterly: "Yesterday, the company sent the contract to my mailbox. The amount of liquidated damages on it is three... three billion."

"Hiss!" Wen Xia gasped, "Such outrageous liquidated damages?!"

"What is the unit?" Luo Quan and Zhou Yangwen asked in unison. The same three billion, Korean Won, RMB, and US dollars are three completely different concepts.

Jiang Yuner hung her head: "It's three billion Korean Won."

"That's okay." Luo Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's also nearly 20 million RMB. The production team can't pay so much money for you." Zhou Yangwen sighed, "Reasonably speaking, I want to help you. With your strength and popularity, as long as there are no accidents, there is one debut spot for you, but now..."

Listening to this meaning, it is a bit powerless.

20 million is not a small amount. This is already more expensive than Luo Quan's album additional licensing fee. Using it to sign a girl group C position whose future popularity is uncertain is already a loss-making business, not to mention helping her pay the liquidated damages?

"I know." Jiang Yuner nodded, "No one is obliged to take responsibility for my mistakes. If you want to blame, blame me for not being careful enough when I signed the contract and being set up with so many traps."

"Don't say that. The one who is really wrong is not you, but your boss!" Luo Quan originally wanted to say something about all crows in the world being black, but considering that a boss was standing next to her, she didn't open the map cannon.

"It's good that it's three billion Korean Won. If it were three billion RMB, I really couldn't help you." Luo Quan patted Jiang Yuner on the shoulder, only feeling her body tremble violently.

Immediately, Jiang Yuner looked at her with unbelievable eyes: "You... what do you mean?"

Luo Quan smiled: "I will pay this three billion Korean Won liquidated damages for you, but the condition is that you have to work for my company to make money to pay off the debt. Don't expect your salary to be very high at the beginning."

Wen Xia was shocked: "When did you have a company?"

"I just had it. It's not difficult to register a company in China, right?" Luo Quan said, looking at Zhou Yangwen.

Zhou Yangwen couldn't laugh or cry: "It's really not difficult, something that can be registered with one yuan."

"That's it." Luo Quan turned her gaze back to Jiang Yuner, heroically: "From now on, you are a signed artist of Springwater Entertainment Company. Don't worry, your contract with me has at most one page of content, written clearly in black and white, and I will definitely not set traps for you!"

"I... I..." Jiang Yuner was already tearful at this time, and her heart was moved beyond measure.

Wen Xia sighed: "20 million, just smashed it in."

Luo Quan smiled very proudly: "Is it a lot? Just sell more records and you'll earn it back."

Even without counting the income brought by "Love," just the album sales commission of "Springwater" and "Coming of Age" has already exceeded 100 million.

The bank's investment and wealth management calls are made almost every three days, but she doesn't understand this, so she can only leave it to eat dead interest.

And she usually doesn't go out, a proper homebody, houses, cars, clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, all are sent by others, and for weight loss, she also eats light and simple food.

If it weren't for being able to be inhumanly rich in any game, she wouldn't even realize that she was already a billionaire.

Only at this moment can she experience a little pleasure of spending money like water.

It's really quite good. Jiang Yuner was moved to tears, and Wen Xia and Zhou Yangwen also showed surprise.

Both obviously didn't expect Luo Quan to spend money like water for Jiang Yuner.

20 million is not a small amount. Even Zhou Yangwen, the general manager of Penguin Interactive Entertainment, couldn't take out so much cash so lightly.

However, Luo Quan had no worries at all. Her money was not tied up in any stock market or wealth management, all were current deposits, and she could swipe her card directly.

As the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and what Luo Quan lacks most at present is actually money.

Let alone 20 million RMB, even 200 million... she might not be able to take out so much from her own bank card, but she still has an inhumanly rich father, right?

As long as she opens her mouth, this is just a matter of a villa in New York.

Seeing Luo Quan's light expression, Wen Xia finally remembered that this good sister who usually looks like a miser is actually richer than 99.99% of her peers in the world.

20 million is just a small case for her, but even knowing that Luo Quan is very rich, seeing her take it out without blinking, Wen Xia still feels very shocked.

"Then, let's do this first. Wen Xia and I are preparing to go for a South Korean visa. When the visa comes down, we will accompany you back to South Korea to solve this matter completely!" Luo Quan patted Jiang Yuner on the shoulder, and the latter nodded ignorantly, obviously still not recovering from the excited mood.

Luo Quan, who spent money like water, looked so confident at this time.
