"Mr. Duo? Fifty million?!" Chu Shengfeng and Jiang Wanqiu screamed in fear: "Why don't you rob a bank?!"

Chu Shengfeng looked incredulous. He snatched the contract from Xing Yunlu's hand and read the terms carefully.

"The contract is for ten years! If the contract is terminated early, Party B will not only have to return the money Party A spent on Party B during the contract period, but also pay Party A an additional 50 million in compensation?!"

When Jiang Wanqiu heard the amount, she felt as if the sky had fallen. How much money had her daughter earned so far? She had to pay 50 million to terminate the contract?

Xing Yunlu snatched the contract back again: "What are you looking at? You have the contract in your hands... Anyway, the compensation is clearly written in black and white on the contract. We didn't force your daughter to sign the contract in the first place! Of course, there is no problem in terminating the contract. We will strictly abide by the contract!"

“You——” Chu Shengfeng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and shouted: “This is clearly an illegal clause that oppresses employees! I will go to the Labor Bureau to sue you!”

"If you want to sue, go ahead—" Xing Yunlu looked indifferent, slowly put away the contract, and sat in his boss chair: "But you must not go to the wrong place. We signed a brokerage contract, not a labor contract. The brokerage contract is a comprehensive contract and is not protected by the labor law... Mr. Chu ran a company before, after all, you can't even understand this difference, right?"

Chu Shengfeng's face was as black as charcoal. He blamed it on the Chu family who were so busy with their own affairs that they had no time to help Chu Jiamiao to check things properly. They let her sign the contract in a confused manner, and now she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

He was indignant: "Even if it's not a labor contract, the penalty is too high!"

Xing Yunlu rolled his eyes at him again, with a confident attitude: "High? Not at all! Go out and ask around. With her current worth, a 50 million yuan penalty is already quite low. Is it easy for a company to train an artist? Many other artists who are not as popular as her have penalty fees calculated in billions! Besides, don't you know what she looked like when she first signed the contract? Our company also paid her 500,000 yuan in advance for plastic surgery, and has been fully supporting her all these days. If you want to terminate the contract, you have to pay us back all the money!"

Fifty million plus the compensation, Jiang Wanqiu felt like the sky was falling. If she had known her daughter was destined to be so famous, she should have kept her firmly in her hands! Now, most of the money she earned was taken away by others!

She looked at Chu Shengfeng anxiously and helplessly: "Husband, please think of a solution!"

Chu Shengfeng had no idea what to do. He had a sullen face and was silently calculating whether it was worthwhile to spend more than 50 million to help Chu Jiamiao terminate the contract.

After all, she is a very popular person now. She can earn at least several million, or even tens of millions, from a live broadcast... If she can take advantage of this wave of popularity and do a few more shows, won't she be able to earn back the money?

But what if Chu Jiamiao is no longer popular after the popularity has passed? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Even if they wanted to terminate the contract, how could the Chu family afford the money now? He was planning to negotiate with Xing Yunlu whether he could terminate the contract first and then slowly pay the money later, but the other party's next words completely shattered his wishful thinking.

"Oh, I almost forgot to remind you—" Xing Yunlu leaned back in his chair and picked his ears with a leisurely look on his face: "You can terminate the contract, but the stage name 'Tian Bing' and the ownership of the live broadcast account all belong to our company. She can't take them away personally."

This time, Chu Shengfeng and his wife were devastated again: now everyone was only familiar with the stage name "Tian Bing", who knew who Chu Jiamiao was? Besides, Chu Jiamiao's live broadcast account already had tens of millions of fans, if the account could not be taken away, how difficult would it be to create a new one!

Jiang Wanqiu was furious: "Great! You black-hearted companies! No wonder you insisted on changing my daughter's name before letting her debut! It turns out you had this idea in mind! How despicable!"

Xing Yunlu snorted coldly: "Mrs. Chu, please don't accuse anyone so casually! Why did you change the name? If your daughter's reputation wasn't so bad, would I have spent a lot of money to change her stage name?"

Thinking of the bad things Chu Jiamiao had done in the past, Chu Shengfeng and his wife knew they were in the wrong, their faces became uglier than each other, and they stammered and could not utter a single word.

In this duel, Xing Yunlu obviously won a great victory. He then started to chase people away with an impatient look on his face: "Do you want to terminate the contract or not? If not, don't waste my time here. If you want to terminate the contract, hurry up and send the money... Do you really think your daughter is famous on her own? With her plastic surgery face, it's hard to find someone else like her. At worst, I can sign another girl and find the same doctor to spend hundreds of thousands to make her look exactly like her. Anyway, beauty filters are turned on for live broadcasts, so they won't look much different. As long as the account is in my hands, I can create the next Tian Bing, and it won't delay my continued income at all!"

This time, Chu Shengfeng and his wife’s plan failed and was completely frustrated.

Chu Jiamiao, who had been hiding next door and eavesdropping, saw that her parents were already at a disadvantage, so she quickly popped up to smooth things over:

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing? Haven't I told you eight hundred times that President Xing has been very kind to me and I will never betray the company? Go back quickly! Don't cause trouble for me here!"
