Chapter 451

Although he inevitably had some minor objections, he could only suppress them and then properly discuss the matter with the person before him.

"You want to cancel the contract with me?"

"If that's the case, Jiang Cheng said he could come here tomorrow to sign the contract; now it's up to you to decide." Su Peng's remark instantly pleased Hashiqi.

Hashiqi impatiently waved his hand: "Give me half a day to think it over; I'll give you an answer tonight." He rubbed his temples, feeling a bit gloomy.

Jiang Cheng's demands were somewhat excessive.

But he could actually earn five hundred thousand a month from it, which is not bad!

Moreover, he thought Su Peng's chances of becoming big were low; rather than wildly throwing money at him and wasting his own precious funds, it would be better to directly profit from that five hundred thousand.

He pondered.

He then agreed.

Jiang Cheng had long guessed that the other party would certainly agree to his demands.

If he doesn't agree now, it means Jiang Cheng will definitely continue to lower that amount next time.

And he couldn't guarantee earning five hundred thousand a year from Su Peng.

Finally.

He compromised.

"It still has to be you!"

Su Manyao praised him while transferring five hundred thousand to Jiang Cheng.

"It's my brother who caused the trouble; I'll pay this five hundred thousand!"

"Only five hundred thousand? Don't I deserve some hard-earned pay?" Jiang Cheng said this deliberately.

Upon hearing that, Su Manyao immediately wanted to transfer another several hundred thousand to Jiang Cheng.

Without Jiang Cheng's help, this matter could not proceed smoothly.

Therefore, Su Manyao was very grateful for Jiang Cheng's assistance.

Giving him a bit more money is also perfectly reasonable.

Seeing Su Manyao about to transfer the money, Jiang Cheng immediately stopped her: "I was just joking with you; why did you actually go through with it?"

Jiang Cheng looked at him with disdain.

"How much are the things in your father's company worth? A mere five hundred thousand—do you think I'd care?" Jiang Cheng spoke somewhat arrogantly, but what he said made sense.

Su Manyao's father had already entrusted the entire company to Jiang Cheng to handle; even a casual day or half-day could earn Jiang Cheng over five hundred thousand, so why would he care about a five-hundred-thousand breach penalty?

"I believe in settling accounts clearly!"

"Between us, we don't bother with such things."

Jiang Cheng transferred the money back: "The most important thing this time is that Su Peng stays safe and sound."

"Tomorrow morning I'll go sign the contract with the other party; after all the formal contracts are signed and the money is transferred to their account, Su Peng's matter will be over."

"Although this guy seemed quite smart in school, how come after entering society his brain just can't turn? He was so easily duped."

Jiang Cheng simply couldn't understand.

Could this guy actually be an idiot?

Otherwise, how could he be so easily led around in circles by others?

Su Manyao also said she couldn't understand: "I also think he's usually quite smart, but at critical moments he does a bunch of things I can't comprehend, even somewhat foolish."

"If I hadn't asked just now, I wouldn't know how long this guy would keep being duped. Moreover, he keeps saying he wants to enter the entertainment circle, yet he doesn't understand anything and just forces his way in."

"Stupid!"

He's really too stupid.

Why is he so smart, yet his brother is so foolish?

Regarding this issue, Su Manyao was utterly baffled and somewhat troubled.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"If your brother heard you say all that, he'd probably burst into tears right in front of you." Jiang Cheng at most said a couple of teasing remarks; mainly, Su Peng really was this foolish this time.

But after going through today's incident, he should probably grow a bit smarter in the future.

"Don't you think what I'm saying is true? You say, if his brain were just a bit sharper, he wouldn't be led around in circles like this now."

"He's really too stupid; in the end he'll still end up like this! Fortunately, our family does have some money, so even if we really have to pay this huge breach penalty, we can actually afford it."

"But I really don't want to give this money to such a company!"

The other party is indeed rolling in money.

However, for some newcomers who are eager to enter the entertainment circle with passion.

At first it seemed like a pie had fallen from the sky.

A pile of benefits came one after another.

But only later did he suddenly wake up and realize he had actually fallen into a trap!

He even had to pay a hefty breach penalty.

Where did they come up with this money?

They basically have no money!

Some people might be so pressured by this that they can't breathe.

In short, Su Manyao especially dislikes such agencies; Huangzhengming's previous company was like that, even competing here for artists, offering double what he gave.

In the end, they still had to make the other party pay a large breach penalty, which is utterly shameless!

Although he is a businessman, he knows that if a businessman isn't ruthless, how could he possibly make money?

But if it's only through such despicable and shameless means that he can ruthlessly scoop up a sum of money, he would never learn from the other party no matter what; he only hopes to advance step by step and make the entertainment circle better and better.

He knows his behavior is pure daydreaming, but if he doesn't try, how could he possibly know it really won't work?

"Alright, an agency like Hashiqi will, after a while, have to pay the price they deserve; as for us, we shouldn't worry about this anymore."

"I only hope that tomorrow everything goes smoothly; after it's settled, you can properly discipline your younger brother, and as much as possible prevent him from getting into this situation again."

"Jiang Cheng also meant well."

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Su Manyao nodded, her face serious, and said: "I understand; I will properly discipline him, and I definitely won't let him continue to behave like this."

"But this time, I feel that sum of money must be paid by him himself! Otherwise, I'm afraid if he does this again next time, what can we do?"

"Your idea, I think it's great!" (End of chapter)
