MTL - After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy-Chapter 10
When the boss was looking at Jiang Liucheng, Jiang Liucheng was also looking at her.
He still remembered that when they first met, the boss made a lot of concessions on the contract in order to sign him, and said a lot of words to gain sympathy.
He said that the entertainment industry is a very cruel place. Zhou Sheng Entertainment has no strength and can only survive in the cracks. For a long time, the company's resources and artist announcements have been relied on by him.
Later, he found that Jiang Liucheng didn't have much expression, and he changed his routine again, saying that no matter how difficult it was, as long as he signed a contract with Zhou Sheng Entertainment, he would do his best to make him popular.
The words from a year ago seem to be vivid in my mind. Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Liucheng's memory is not bad, and even the boss's expression at that time can be remembered clearly.
Only after that, the boss seemed to have forgotten what he had said.
While saying that the company is not easy, let him be considerate, saying that the company can't do anything, and at the same time mercilessly hide him.
"Liucheng, it's been a long time, you seem to be doing well, and your complexion is quite ruddy." The boss smiled and opened his mouth with a homely attitude.
Jiang Liucheng recalled with a smile, "Thanks to the boss."
Hearing the meaning of the words, the boss didn't change his face: "I know you have complaints about the company, but you didn't seize the opportunity. If you hadn't changed the contract to that, the company would have invested the cost to make you popular. , and nothing will happen next.”
At that time, because the contract change did not bring much benefit to the company, he hesitated whether to invest a lot of money.
In the end, after he thought about it, someone came to him and asked him to hide Jiang Liucheng.
He was not willing at first, Zhou Sheng Entertainment waited so long to sign an artist who was perfect in every way.
Li Qiu rolled his eyes when he heard it: "Boss, everyone understands people, so there is no need to say such things. Everyone knows what benefits Zhou Sheng Entertainment has gained after hiding Jiang Liucheng in the snow."
At first, he didn't understand that compared to hiding Jiang Liucheng in the snow, it would be more beneficial to the company to make him popular.
Later, someone secretly told him that the company used Jiang Liucheng to exchange a lot of benefits.
Under the matchmaking of the other party, Zhou Sheng Entertainment not only used the resources given by the other party to successfully make an artist popular, but even other artists also drank the soup.
Only Jiang Liucheng, who was used up, didn't get anything.
Because Jiang Liucheng has not come to make trouble in the past year, the boss always thought that Jiang Liucheng knew that he could not compete with the company, and just wanted to terminate the contract after the contract expired.
Now that Li Qiu pierced it, most of the smile on the boss's face disappeared, and he leaned on the office chair bored, with Erlang's legs up.
"Listen to my assistant, you want to terminate the contract, do you know that if you want to terminate the contract with the company in advance, you will have to pay liquidated damages. Did you bring the money?"
He looked at Jiang Liucheng, as if he was winning.
Li Qiu didn't know where he got the confidence. Did he forget the contents of the contract completely?
Jiang Liucheng knows that this is probably the common problem of being a boss, and she always feels that she is the one who has the power to control the life and death of employees.
"I'm not here to pay the liquidated damages. On the contrary, Zhou Sheng Entertainment will pay me a sum of money."
The first time the boss heard such bizarre words, he laughed: "You said that Zhou Sheng Entertainment will pay you money? Are you crazy or did I hear it wrong?"
Jiang Liucheng: "You heard right, you just don't know. According to the contract, if I want to terminate the contract, the amount of liquidated damages I need to compensate the company is several times the cost that the company has invested in me this year, but for the company I have invested almost zero cost in the past year, so the liquidated damages can hardly be counted.”
The boss's expression twitched slightly, and the company's cultivation of Jiang Liucheng was indeed interrupted before it could even begin, and the small roles given later were not wanted by others.
"You said that if there is no input cost, there is no input cost? Young people, if the company has it, it will be able to engage you in minutes. You, an ordinary person, can't compete with the company."
Jiang Liucheng asked calmly: "Are you planning to fake it? Do you know that those who defraud other people's property for the purpose of illegal possession with a large amount violate the criminal law, and what consequences will they face?"
Hearing this sentence, the boss couldn't help but think of Jiang Liucheng reciting the legal terms in public when he signed the contract a year ago.
He almost forgot that this person was a scholar who graduated from Q University. He not only studied law, but also took the law exam, and finally got a high score.
The boss subconsciously changed his sitting position.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. What I'm going to say now is another thing. In the contract we signed, there is a stipulation that if the company cannot make the artist popular as agreed, resulting in the loss of the artist's salary and income, the company must follow the previous year. Ten times the artist's actual income to compensate and terminate the contract." Jiang Liucheng read the terms word by word.
For clauses like this, the company usually digs a hole for the artist, never an artist digs a hole for the company, and the artist does not have the capital to negotiate with the company when he is still an amateur.
But if there is a description in the contract, and the contract has legal effect, then it is established.
The boss immediately took a fancy to his assistant. Is there such a clause in the contract signed by the company and Jiang Liucheng?
The assistant nodded with a weird expression, there was indeed such a clause in the contract.
At that time, Jiang Liucheng was just a college student who had just graduated. There was no real income. Even if there was, the salary of a college student who had just graduated would not be much higher.
Zhousheng Entertainment is not a big company. At that time, their boss also bet on Jiang Liucheng. How could they consider these small terms, plus Jiang Liucheng's high IQ, gave them a meal, and finally agreed. .
"You don't have to doubt, if there is no such clause in the contract, I will not deliberately say it." Jiang Liucheng saw the two winking.
The boss lowered his face: "It's not just a few dollars, how much money can you make by yourself."
Jiang Liucheng took out a piece of paper and put it in front of him.
The boss picked it up and took a look, and his face was ashen.
The assistant on the side glanced at it and was dumbfounded.
This is the salary flow printed by Jiang Liucheng. It is not his details that are exaggerated, but the final total income.
If the compensation is ten times, the company has to compensate Jiang Liucheng for an amount exceeding seven figures.
Who would have thought that the annual income of a college student would be so high, and then looking at the details, it seems that it is still income from tutoring.
Seemingly seeing the doubts in their hearts, Jiang Liucheng explained lightly: "It's just a tutor for the rich."
Rich people are generous, and their children will be rewarded for their progress. If they can be admitted to key schools, the rewards will be even more generous.
"Your contract is illegal." The boss blurted out.
After that, the office was extremely quiet.
The assistant is full of complaints and I don't know how to say it. Boss, have you reversed the positions of the artist?
Li Qiu held back his smile, and couldn't bear it anymore, so he pinched his thighs.
Although he knew it would be like this, he didn't expect the process to be so funny, it was really cool!
At the beginning, he protested to the boss many times about the snow hiding of Jiang Liucheng, but he was either ignored by the boss or kicked out of the office by him, and said that if he continued to make trouble, he would be fired.
Although he entered this line of work, he wanted Jiang Liucheng to be an artist, and he was soft-spoken in the company.
The boss also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face became more and more ugly.
"I won't compensate you, don't even think about it."
The boss, nicknamed Tie Rooster, never thought that he would have to compensate the artist for liquidated damages. If the company hadn't continued to develop, he would have also wanted to reduce the artist's share.
Jiang Liucheng had expected this early, "Then you can only have a lawsuit. Once you lose, your losses will only be more."
The boss snorted coldly, he didn't believe it.
"Don't you believe it?" Jiang Liucheng smiled, "If the news of Zhou Sheng Entertainment's compensation for the artist's sky-high liquidated damages spreads, what do you think people outside will think of the company?"
The boss doesn't even have to think about it, the company will definitely become famous, but it's definitely not a good reputation. My wife will definitely think that Zhou Sheng Entertainment has a hole in his brain, and he actually signs such a contract with an artist. Even once the details of the contract are exposed, the company's The reputation will only get worse.
Not only that, if other artists in the company know that they have signed such a contract with Jiang Liucheng, they will definitely be unhappy, especially if the other party is dissatisfied with the contract and leaves, the company will suffer even greater losses. The content must not be known to outsiders.
If Jiang Liucheng wins the lawsuit, more artists will want to follow him in the future, which will be detrimental to the development of Zhousheng Entertainment, and the partner of cooperation may even cancel the cooperation because of this.
For an entertainment company that can't even control its own company's artists, who knows what will happen. The biggest fear of many partners is that an artist's accident will cause the project to stagnate.
That's not to mention, the boss thought of another thing, which must not be exposed.
After realizing this, the boss's only thought was to never let this matter get out, but he was unwilling to follow Jiang Liucheng's wishes.
After a tangle, Jiang Liucheng helped him make a decision: "The person who made a deal with you should not know the existence of this contract. If he knew, he would not have made a deal with you from the beginning."
The boss didn't expect that Jiang Liucheng could even guess this, his eyes widened, as if he was saying how do you know.
"It's not difficult to guess this kind of thing." Jiang Liucheng had guessed it from the beginning.
The boss didn't realize until this moment that he couldn't play against the young man in front of him at all. He was too smart. From the time of signing the contract, he probably had already calculated every step.
"what on earth do you want?"
Hearing this sentence, everyone in the office knows that the boss has compromised and he no longer struggles, which means that Jiang Liucheng has won, and there is no suspense in winning.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Liucheng and Li Qiu left the boss's office.
Li Qiu stood at the gate and looked at the contract termination agreement in his hand, feeling as if he was dreaming, this is the termination of the contract, and there is no need to pay any price?
Li Qiu's initial assumption was that the process would be tortuous and difficult, and the two sides would continue to argue again and again.
He even thought that after a long time, none of these things happened, and he also resigned smoothly. The process couldn't be straighter.
Jiang Liucheng was on the phone. He told Cheng Qinghua about his termination of the contract with the company. Without the company, he could sign with them in his own name.
Cheng Qinghua on the other side of the phone didn't say how surprised, the two sides agreed on the time and place to sign the contract and ended the call.
Jiang Liucheng put away the phone and met Li Qiu's complicated expression.
"You actually managed every step of today's affairs. You are still so young."
Jiang Liucheng smiled: "Young doesn't mean anything. Some people are forced to grow up. If you have such a pair of parents, you will too."
