Chapter 354: Your bottom line as a person is far beyond my imagination

~8 min read 1,471 words

In this world, the means to legally trap a person is a contract.

And terminating a contract is one of the most difficult things in the world to handle.

Even for those top streamers with tens of millions of fans, it is still like this. For a big company like "Changyang," manipulating a small newcomer like Pili is as easy as flipping a hand!

Pili herself was mentally prepared that the other party wouldn't let her go so easily.

Even if she really wanted to terminate the contract, these companies would squeeze the last drop of oil out of her, and that would be the termination fee!

Five hundred!

For her, it was clearly an astronomical figure. Even if she fought in underground boxing matches day and night, it would probably take her two or three years to earn five hundred!

And this was just the price for a newcomer.

So Pili never had any intention of paying the termination fee from the beginning. She wouldn't easily pay money to such an unscrupulous company!

Seeing the few of them silent for a moment, Li Chuang thought his words had worked. In the next second, he returned to his warm smile: "You all shouldn't think of our company so badly. The team matter will definitely be implemented as soon as possible. The company won't drag all the streamers along; that's not practical, right?"

"As long as Miss Pili's streaming popularity can keep climbing, the company will definitely pay attention once it sees the data. At that time, we will prioritize cutting in line for you and get the team configured for you in advance."

To put it bluntly, newcomers still have to fight and compete among themselves.

Whoever has better data gets the company's support. For those who fall behind in the competition among newcomers, the company won't invest extra manpower and financial resources. With the contract tying them down, they are left to fend for themselves. In any case, the company won't lose out.

Pili suddenly patted Shen Ci, leaned over, and whispered: "I think it's better to take the contract to Lawyer Qin personally and see if there are any loopholes we can't find."

Shen Ci understood Pili's meaning immediately. There was no point in wrangling with someone from the operations department here. Pili was determined to terminate the contract and get away, so professional matters had to be handled by professional people.

It's just that Shen Ci wasn't optimistic about the method of finding loopholes in the contract. For a big company like this, the legal team was top-tier, and they definitely wouldn't leave any opportunities for them in the contract.

But one had to try; perhaps Lawyer Qin would have other ways.

Without paying any more attention to Li Chuang's words, the two stood up one after another. Seeing this, Gu Lianxing hurriedly followed. The three walked directly outside.

Seeing this, Li Chuang curled his lips nonchalantly, turning to chase after them eagerly: "Two beauties, are you really not considering becoming streamers? Your image is very suitable. You can also leave a contact method; if you have any thoughts..."

Before he finished his sentence, he saw Pili stop, turn her head, and shoot a cold glare at him: "Be careful, I won't be polite if you harass my friends again!"

She had real martial arts skills. Seeing this, Li Chuang hurriedly shrank back and then apologized with a smile: "Just asking..."

The three left the conference room and walked straight toward the company's main entrance. Li Chuang still wanted to see them off, but as soon as he came out, he was pulled aside by the assistant of "Caicai Yu" who was waiting on the side.

"Eh? Little Wang!"

"Brother Chuang!" Assistant Little Wang called out, looking at Pili's retreating back from afar and asking: "That person is the new streamer the company signed, right? What did she come to find you for?"

Hearing this, Li Chuang sneered disdainfully: "Wanted the company to assign a team, I sent her away."

"Oh..." Little Wang nodded lightly, his eyes rolling, and said deliberately: "This person offended Caicai before. Caicai didn't bother with her, but I didn't expect her to be in the same company. I said she looked familiar just now."

Once he said that, Li Chuang, being a shrewd person, knew that "Caicai Yu" was the company's top star, the company's biggest cash cow. Who wouldn't be polite when they saw her?

"There's such a thing?"

"Isn't it? It's just that Caicai has a good temper and didn't make things difficult for her!"

Li Chuang revealed a knowing smile, raised his hand, and patted Little Wang on the shoulder: "If there's a chance later, I'll help Caicai vent her anger."

"That wouldn't be good, right?" Little Wang pretended to be troubled and whispered: "Caicai doesn't have that intention."

Li Chuang thought to himself, didn't you come to find me for exactly that intention?

On the surface, he was straightforward: "Who in our company can stand seeing Caicai get bullied? It's fine to teach her a small lesson!"

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Little Wang nodded accordingly: "That works too, to save these newcomers from being blind and arrogant; they should be taught a lesson!"

Shen Ci and the others had just reached the entrance when they saw General Manager Qu of "Changyang Entertainment" walking over quickly, accompanied and surrounded by two secretaries and an assistant. One of the secretaries was chattering away, reporting work to him while walking.

The few of them ignored them and walked straight past, but how could three such beautiful girls escape Qu Tiancheng's eyes?

He seemed casual, but in fact, he recognized Shen Ci from afar. He had thought Shen Ci would take the initiative to stop and greet him, but he didn't expect that neither side reacted as they passed each other. Only then did Qu Tiancheng stop his steps voluntarily.

He stopped, turned back, and looked at Shen Ci with feigned surprise: "Miss Shen?"

Shen Ci stopped. Before turning back, she took a deep breath, full of impatience. She had thought that since she had publicly snubbed him at the banquet last time, he would pretend not to know her. She didn't expect him to call out to her after all.

For someone like General Manager Qu, Shen Ci really couldn't give a good look, so she could only turn back with as flat an expression as possible, her gaze and tone also as calm as water: "General Manager Qu."

Qu Tiancheng's gaze subconsciously looked at Pili and Lianxing before returning two steps to stand in front of Shen Ci: "Why did Miss Shen come to my company? Do you need help with something?"

He looked completely fine, as if the previous unpleasantness with Shen Ci didn't exist.

Shen Ci let out an almost imperceptible hum through her nose, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him, speaking bluntly: "My friend was coaxed and deceived by your company into signing a contract. Can General Manager Qu help her terminate it?"

One sentence caused the three staff members beside Qu Tiancheng to have different expressions.

They thought to themselves, this little girl is really bold, daring to talk to General Manager Qu like this?

What does "coaxed and deceived" mean?

Qu Tiancheng frowned slightly, then smiled with feigned difficulty: "Everyone is an adult and must be responsible for their own actions. Besides, we are a formal company, and the contract has legal effect. As law-abiding citizens, everything must be handled according to the contract."

As he spoke, the smile at the corners of Qu Tiancheng's mouth suddenly widened by thirty percent, and his tone was gloomy but couldn't hide the provocation: "But isn't Miss Shen very capable? You can compare to Wu Zetian. Since Miss Shen is so capable, helping a friend terminate a contract shouldn't be a small matter that's easy as flipping a hand, right?"

"Right?"

He had thought his words would stimulate Shen Ci, making her realize how inappropriate her rudeness to him was, or at least make her feel ashamed and angry at this moment.

Unfortunately, Shen Ci didn't. Instead, she curled her lips in mockery and retorted: "Whether I am capable or how capable I am, General Manager Qu will see one day. However, your style of being vengeful and narrow-minded really makes me very disappointed!"

After saying this, she turned to leave, but suddenly stopped, the mockery at the corners of her mouth increasing by another thirty percent: "I didn't expect that I had overestimated General Manager Qu that day. Your bottom line as a person is far beyond my imagination!"

Qu Tiancheng's face turned green and pale on the spot!
