"Huo Ying."

The young man put down the teacup and spoke in a calm voice.

He took back the powerful weapon that frightened Xu Jieshi without any delay, and then stood behind the young man, silent as a stone.

Only then did Xu Jieshi realize that the man had actually been there all along, but he had just lowered his presence so he didn't notice.

"I called you here today to terminate the contract." Jiang Xu said with a smile, "Since you have a new place to go, our bookstore will not force you. However, the contract states that you need to write for Big Eyes Bookstore for three years. It is up to you whether to renew the contract after three years. Now that you want to terminate the contract, it is a unilateral breach of contract on your part. According to the contract, you should pay the bookstore double the profit."

"But our bookstore is not completely unkind. As long as you return the manuscript fee that the bookstore has previously paid, it will be fine."

Xu Jieshi never expected the situation to turn out like this. He spoke incoherently: "I'm not, I'm not going to terminate the contract with the bookstore, I just..."

Jiang Xu interrupted him in confusion: "No? Manager Wang told me exactly what he said. If I don't give you 60% of the share, are you going to go to another company?"

"Yes," Xu Jieshi said helplessly, "but I didn't say I had to go."

"Oh, but I'm not going to give you 60% of the profit. Can you still stay here without changing jobs?"

Jiang Xu tilted his head and looked at him leisurely, "You don't really think that people who do business are living Buddhas, do you? I'm doing business, so how can I be a conscientious entrepreneur?"

Xu Jieshi's face flushed red, and he was embarrassed. He said with all his strength: "You are so frivolous, I don't know who is so shameless. If you are like this, I won't stay in this place!"

After he said that, he turned around with a firm gesture, but was stopped by the tall man who looked as dangerous as a cold weapon.

The man uttered five words in a concise manner: "Leave the money, and you go."

Xu Jieshi swallowed his saliva and said, "You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power!"

[Are you okay? You were the one who broke the contract first. Who bullied you? You are weak, so you are right? ]

[A Xu, come on! Let this kid see what it means to bully others by taking advantage of one's power! ]

996 also watched the excitement through the screen: [Go! ]

Jiang Xu: ...

Is he some kind of dog that bites people?

When Jiang Xu came to his senses and took another look, he was happy.

He is not, but someone is a big wolfdog.

Huo Ying drew his long sword and a cold light flashed from the blade, making Xu Jieshi feel as if his head had moved away. Then, realizing that he could still breathe, he hurriedly took out the 150 taels of silver that he had been carrying with him and ran away without looking back.

Jiang Xu laughed out loud upon seeing this and gave Huo Ying a thumbs up: "I'll give you a snack tonight."

Huo Ying: “?”

Is he a dog?

……

Xu Jieshi naturally would not tell Zhong Chaoci about such an embarrassing way of terminating the contract. He turned around and pretended nothing had happened and accepted the five hundred taels of silver from Zhong Chaoci.

The Yuanyang Luozhang had been inactive for some time, but was later discovered to have published its latest chapters in a newly opened Chaoyun Bookstore.

In addition, Chaoyun Bookstore also had some novel novels and stories, which attracted a lot of readers at one time.

Readers who followed the updates of Mandarin Ducks and Luozhang discovered in the last chapter of the new series that Mr. Absurd accused Dayan Bookstore of bullying and of engaging in unequal contracts.

He said that the profit sharing was unreasonable and that the text he had worked hard to create should be split 50-50. He also said that the profits were not transparent and that he had no idea how much royalties for his books were defrauded by Big Eye Bookstore.

He also said that the three-year contract was too long and that he would have to pay a penalty if he wanted to terminate the contract. He spent all his fortune to buy his freedom when he left Dayan Bookstore. He is a writer, not a whore, but he has to redeem himself. It is really ridiculous.

In short, he didn't mention a single word about his greed and betrayal.

It immediately created a buzz among book lovers, affecting the reputation of Dayan Bookstore and causing many people to flock to Chaoyun Bookstore.

Wang Changgui and the managers of the other two branches were extremely anxious, but their boss was not in a hurry at all. He was still at home getting his measurements taken and trying on wedding dresses. It was said that he was in a very bad mood, so they did not dare to go to his house and bring bad luck to him.

So he had no choice but to follow Jiang Xu's instructions and continue with his usual work, not caring about the outside controversy. Even if someone asked about it, he just had to deny it.

Seeing that Chaoyun Bookstore was becoming more and more famous and its business was growing, Zhong Chaoci smiled with satisfaction and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was a little impulsive when he decided to challenge Jiang Xu, but he just didn't accept it. He didn't accept why Jiang Xu, as a vested interest, came to show off in front of him.

He also knew that poaching people in secret was not a glorious method, but special circumstances required special methods. As long as he could win, he could make Jiang Xu understand that there was no distance between them except for their identities.

They are all the same kind of people, he really doesn't know why Jiang Xu is so arrogant.

The current situation made Zhong Chaoci breathe a sigh of relief. After holding it in for such a long time, he finally felt relieved.

"The development of the bookstore will be done according to what I told you. In addition to actively collecting manuscripts, we will also find some skilled painters to draw plot paintings based on those popular works..."

Zhong Chaoci was halfway through his speech when he heard hurried footsteps coming into the hall, followed by a breathless servant running in.

"Oh no! There's someone making trouble outside!"

Zhong Chaoci frowned: "Can't you chase him away? You just let him make trouble and then come here to pass on the message?"

The servant shook his head repeatedly, "He can't be driven away! He claims to be the original author of Mandarin Duck Tent and that he was a classmate of Xu Jieshi. Now he's saying outside that Xu Jieshi stole his manuscript and changed it to its current form, and is publishing it as his own novel. A lot of people have already gathered outside the bookstore!"

"He said Xu Jieshi plagiarized? You guys are confused by such unfounded evidence."

While scolding, Zhong Chaoci walked towards the shop in the front yard, not giving the servant a chance to finish his words.

When he got to the shop, he realized that there was more than one person causing trouble.

In addition to the original author of Yuanyang Luozhang, there are other contracted authors under Dayan Bookstore.

They are all writers, and their condemnation is well-founded. Chen Wenbin, the original author of Yuanyang Luozhang, even took out his original manuscript and answered questions from the onlookers about the plot of the novel. He filled in the gaps that Xu Jieshi could not, and even pointed out the mistakes he made when plagiarizing.

It was obvious that Chen Wenbin had a better basis, and public opinion immediately shifted away from Xu Jieshi.

I also heard other authors use their own experiences to refute Xu Jieshi's accusation that Dayan Bookstore was unscrupulous, and they also told the truth about Xu Jieshi's threat and blackmail against Dayan Bookstore.

At this point, Chaoyun Bookstore was powerless to save the situation. Even if it terminated the contract with Xu Jieshi, when it came to literary creation, once a reputation was ruined, it would be difficult to recover.

The situation could not be stopped, and Zhong Chaoci did not plan to step forward. With a gloomy face, he ordered someone to go to the yamen to call the officials to drive away the troublemakers.

After the crowd of people who were blocking the way dispersed, Zhong Chaoci's eyes caught sight of a carriage parked at the opposite entrance of the street, and his gaze froze.

That was the Jiang family’s carriage.

Chen Wenbin walked over there.

OK, OK!

Zhong Chaoci watched coldly as Chen Wenbin said a few words to the people in the carriage and walked away. He walked over and, before the carriage started, he met Huo Ying's gaze and taunted her:

"Young Master Jiang does such an unethical thing, and he doesn't even shy away from people?"
