A flash marriage to a billionaire president, the richest man can no longer hide his identity

After hanging up the phone, Chu Mengxue felt very regretful.

I regret transferring 10 million to Lin Yuejiao. Now she is short of money but has no money to spend.

At first, she made the skit just for fun and to cheat some money from the Chu family.

As a result, Sister Chen said that the mysterious big boss wanted to buy her skit and was very optimistic about her, so she decided to do a big thing.

Now that she couldn't get the 10 million back within a year, she could only think of other ways to ask the Chu family for money.

So what can we do?

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.

When the Chu family members all got off work from the Chu Group and went home, Chu Mengxue hurried out and cried, "Dad, Mom, brother, you are finally back, something happened!"

Seeing Chu Mengxue's panic, the Chu family hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Mengxue? What happened?"

"Dad, wasn't I kicked out of the entertainment industry because of the incident with Xia Fanxing? That incident had a lot of negative impact on me at the time, and then all the TV series and movies I participated in, and the brands I endorsed, terminated their contracts with me. It's fine if they terminated the contract, but now they are settling scores and claiming compensation for my financial losses!"

"What? They want to claim compensation from you? Did you sign a contract with them that promised a sky-high compensation?" Chu Zhan asked.

Chu Mengxue wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I signed that kind of unequal contract. It means that if the drama cannot be broadcast or the business endorsement is criticized because of me, affecting the reputation of their company, they have the right to claim compensation from me."

The third young master Chu Yu stood up and said angrily, "Why is there such a contract now? It's too unfair to you."

Chu Mengxue said, "It's like this now. Everyone signs the same contract. I can't do anything about it! I didn't want to sign it either. When I signed it, if I didn't agree, they wouldn't invite me to film or cooperate with me. I'm not a first-tier star, and I don't have a say, so I signed it."

Chu Zhan said, "Nowadays, many celebrities have chaotic private lives, and some like to evade taxes. Once these things are discovered, the works they star in will be removed from the shelves, or not broadcast at all, which will cause great losses to the investors, so they will sign such restrictive contracts with celebrities. I saw a case a few days ago where a female celebrity was sued for 100 million yuan by the drama production company because of negative news."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I see. So if celebrities keep themselves clean, they won't be afraid, right? If Meng Xue didn't act like a big shot and go to blacken Xia Fanxing, she wouldn't anger the netizens and wouldn't be sued. So she caused all this herself and it has nothing to do with others."

Chu Mengxue blushed when she heard this, "Dad, how can you say that to me at this time? I didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't do anything too excessive. Many celebrities have done worse than me, but they haven't been banned. I just don't have a backer, and you guys won't help me!"

When Chu Zhiyuan heard this, his face turned pale again.

"When have we not helped you? We don't let you go to the entertainment industry because we're afraid you'll cause trouble again. With your temper, it would be strange if you didn't cause trouble, so we restrain you."

"Yes! Mengxue, we are doing this for your own good. We are considering you." Ye Jiawen said, "However, is it too much to ban a drama because of a mistake made by a character or the main actor? A TV series is the result of the hard work of all the staff. Just because someone made a mistake, everyone has to pay for it. Then will the hard work of others be wasted?"

Chu Nan also said, "I don't agree with this collective responsibility method. This way, the investors' efforts will be wasted. No one knows which star will not get into trouble, and no one can predict it. Therefore, investing in the entertainment industry is very risky. After investing in a drama with great effort, because a star made a mistake, the entire drama has to be removed from the shelves and cannot be broadcast. In this case, I think Mengxue should invest less in those short dramas to avoid encountering such things."

"Second brother, don't worry. I'm just making some short dramas. There's no risk. I'm looking for some newcomers who are not famous and not many people pay attention to them. Besides, the short dramas are short and will be broadcast quickly. The review time is also very fast. There are not so many requirements and risks." Chu Mengxue was afraid that her family would not let her make the short drama, so she said quickly.

After that, she said anxiously, "Dad, Mom, Brother, these are not the issues now. Now the investors are asking me for compensation. There are several dramas and endorsements asking for compensation."

"How much compensation do they want?" Chu Zhiyuan asked solemnly.

Chu Mengxue thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and whispered, "I didn't lose much from those endorsements. It was mainly because several TV series were delayed, removed from the shelves, or could not be broadcast because of my influence, which was a huge loss. Now, all in all, the investors want me to pay about... 50 million."

"What? Such a huge compensation?" The Chu family members said in disbelief.

"Yes, this... this is a discount given to me. My agent begged for a long time to get this amount. Otherwise, if it really goes according to the contract, I'm afraid I will have to pay hundreds of millions." Chu Mengxue said with difficulty.

She made all these up. She had signed this kind of contract with someone else before, but no one has come to her to claim compensation yet.

Everyone is still trying to find someone to replace her role.

She thought, after the investors were done with this busy period, they would come to her for compensation, right?

But she doesn't care about the future, she only cares about the present.

She needs to have money now, and she can worry about the future later. Anyway, the Chu family will back her up.

When the Chu family heard this, they all couldn't believe it.

"They actually want you to pay 50 million? Why? You went to film a movie, not only did you not make any money, you even lost money? I really didn't know that filming has become a risky profession." Chu Yu curled his lips speechlessly.

Chu Mengxue cried and said, "They said that because of me, many fans criticized those dramas, which caused the dramas to not be shown now, so they want me to pay compensation."

"Dad, Mom, they want me to pay 50 million. You guys need to think of a solution quickly. If I don't pay, they will sue me and put me in jail. I don't want to go to jail." Chu Mengxue rubbed her tears and shrugged her shoulders. She looked very pitiful.

When Chu Zhiyuan and Ye Jiawen heard this, they rubbed their brows speechlessly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked extremely worried. "How could this happen? Mengxue, you really shouldn't have signed that kind of contract with them in the first place. But most importantly, you shouldn't have spread Xia Fanxing's information, which led to her committing a crime and getting kicked out of the entertainment industry."

Ye Jiawen also said, "Yes! If you had worked hard and diligently instead of doing those things, why would it have ended up like this?"

Chu Nan said, "Our Chu family can afford the 50 million, but it's not easy for my parents to make money. If you use it for real business, we will support you, just like when you wanted to invest in a short play before, our whole family supported you with more than 15 million. But this time, someone is claiming compensation for you, and I feel that the money was wasted."
