Chapter 441: Just Out of the Wolf's Den and Into the Tiger's Mouth!

Pei Jianming felt that he was wronged.

Even more unjust than Dou E!

The company's practice of bullying and blackmailing newcomers was tacitly approved by the boss, Qi Zhongkai.

Pei Jianming couldn't get much of the money he got from the newcomer, and in the end it all went into Qi Zhongkai's pocket.

When nothing goes wrong, everything is fine. When something goes wrong, the blame is all yours, and there is no room for reasoning!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, I didn't expect that newcomer to be related to Director He..."

Although he felt aggrieved, Pei Jianming quickly apologized to Qi Zhongkai.

Qi Zhongkai said with a somewhat irritable expression while smoking a cigarette: "What's the use of talking about this now?

Please find a solution to this matter quickly! I promised Director He to call her back within half an hour! "

"Oh, okay, I'll call that Xu Kejing and ask her to come back and terminate the contract!"

Pei Jianming nodded and agreed, turned to his work computer, retrieved Xu Kejing's file from the company's internal database, and called the phone number given above.

…

Capital, Walden Pond villa area, inside the villa of Zhao Xin's family.

Jingle bells, jingle bells--!

As soon as the group entered the door, Zhao Xin's cell phone rang in his pocket.

I took out my phone and saw the name on the caller ID: Mom.

"Hey Mom, is there any good news?"

Zhao Xin connected the phone with a swipe of her finger and asked with a playful smile.

"My mother is reliable in handling things! I knew I would be right to contact you for this matter!"

"Yeah, okay, I'll call you back when the matter is resolved!"

"I'd like to thank my mom first on behalf of my sisters. My mom is so awesome!"

"Okay, okay, definitely, definitely."

After Zhao Xin answered Tongda's call, she said a few words to the other party before hanging up.

Zhang Qian asked impatiently: "How are you, Xiaoxin, how are Xiaojing's affairs going?"

"It's done! After my mother called Aunt He, Aunt He called the boss of Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd., scolded him and told him to call back within half an hour."

Zhao Xin smiled happily and said, "I guess they will call over soon and beg Xiaojing to terminate the contract with them."

"Really! That's great!" Zhang Qian turned to look at Xu Kejing and said with a smile, "Stop being so sad. Isn't this matter going to be solved soon? You'll be free soon!"

"Yeah, thank you, Sister Xin. Thank you for your help today."

Xu Kejing turned to look at Zhao Xin and thanked her sincerely.

Zhao Xin waved his hands carelessly: "Okay, okay, I've thanked you so many times. It's just a phone call. It's boring to thank you again and again."

When Luo Yanning heard Zhao Xin's words, she swallowed her words of thanks back to her mouth. It was indeed as Zhao Xin said, it would be boring for everyone to thank each other when they are friends.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]

"Everyone, please take a seat. Sit wherever you want. Don't be shy when you come to my place. It's just like coming to your own home."

After talking about Xu Kejing, Zhao Xin smiled and invited everyone in.

Jingle bells, jingle bells--!

As soon as everyone entered the living room and sat down, their cell phones rang again. This time it was Xu Kejing's cell phone.

I took out my phone and took a look. The name on the caller ID was: Mr. Tiancheng Pei.

Zhang Qian asked curiously: "Who is Xiaojing? Why are you so stunned and not answering?"

Xu Kejing looked at everyone and asked, "There's a call from Tiancheng Entertainment. Do you want me to answer it?"

Luo Yanning said: "Take it and see what is said over there."

"Okay." Xu Kejing agreed, connected the phone with a swipe of her finger, and clicked on the speakerphone.

"Is it Xiao Xu? I told Mr. Qi about you."

"We, Mr. Qi, thought that you might not have much savings since you just left the society, so we decided to be lenient with you."

"You don't have to pay compensation for the resources the company invested in you. You only need to terminate the contract according to the amount in the contract."

"If you have nothing to do, come to the company now and I will handle the procedures for you."

The phone was connected, and Pei Jianming's voice sounded on the other side.

Xu Kejing's tense expression relaxed a lot when she heard that the other party said that she would no longer pursue responsibility and only needed to terminate the contract according to the amount in the contract.

Just when Xu Kejing was about to agree, Zhao Xin reminded him in a low voice: "Don't go to Xiaojing, tell him you are not free now."

"Ah?" Xu Kejing was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhao Xin's words, and reached out to cover the phone's microphone.

Zhang Qian also said: "Yes, just say you are not free! Now the initiative is in our hands, let him surnamed Pei also be anxious."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Luo Yanning and Wu Mingshi also agreed with Zhao Xin and Zhang Qian's approach.

"But..." Xu Kejing wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and didn't want to create more complications. After hearing what Luo Yanning and others said, she looked a little tangled.

"If you're embarrassed to say it, let me do it."

Zhang Qian took the phone from Xu Kejing without any explanation and said into the microphone:

"Just now we came to find you, and you played tricks on us. Now that we have gone home, we have no time to argue with you anymore, so let's leave it at that!"

After Zhang Qian finished speaking, without waiting for Pei Jianming on the other side of the phone to react, she hung up the phone with one finger.

Zhao Xin said from the side: "Don't worry, Xiaojing! My mother said that Aunt He asked Tiancheng to handle this matter within an hour. Now it's time for them to worry."

Zhang Qian echoed: "Yes, let them be anxious! This unscrupulous vampire company will give them a long memory."

Wu Mingshi chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, if they don't come to us with the contract in person today to terminate the contract, we won't be able to terminate the contract."

"I second the motion." Luo Yanning also smiled and raised his hand. Wu Mingshi said what he wanted to say, and he thought the same.

Seeing that everyone was saying this, Xu Kejing had no choice but to obey the majority: "I listen to everyone..."

…

Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd., in the vice president's office.

Pei Jianming looked dumbfounded when the phone was hung up.

Qi Zhongkai threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and asked him, "What's going on, Lao Pei?"

"They said... they are not available right now."

Pei Jianming swallowed and looked at Qi Zhongkai with evasive eyes.

"What the hell? They're not free?"

After Qi Zhongkai heard the situation reported by Pei Jianming, he felt bad and stood up from his chair.

"Director He is backing this up. He is so hard-core that he wants to bargain with us."

Qi Zhongkai quickly figured out the key, took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger and sighed.

Director He is still waiting for his call. If the matter is not handled to the satisfaction of Director He, and the other party casually finds some fault with Tiancheng Entertainment, the loss will not be one or two million.

No entertainment company is clean, there are always problems, and Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. is no exception.

If someone is targeted, the business may be suspended for rectification, or the business may be closed down.

Qi Zhongkai can manage Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. to its current scale. He is also a person with ability and brains.

Only a fool would drag down his entire company for the sake of a newcomer's contract and hundreds of thousands of liquidated damages!

"Lao Pei, call them again and tell them that we don't want the 100,000 yuan in liquidated damages. We just need to sign the termination contract."

Qi Zhongkai hesitated for less than a minute before making a decision: "In addition, if they are not available, you can bring someone to the door to terminate the contract in person! Keep your posture low."

"Ah? This..." Pei Jianming opened his mouth in surprise after hearing Qi Zhongkai's words.

They didn’t ask for a penny of liquidated damages, and they even came to terminate the contract in person. This was definitely the first time since the establishment of Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd.!

"Ah, what? The situation is pressing! Who can support me? Just do as I say! Call!"

After Qi Zhongkai finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case with an irritable expression and lit it again.

"Okay, Mr. Qi, I understand..."

Pei Jianming agreed and dialed Xu Kejing's phone number again.

"Hello, Miss Xu..."

After calling again, Pei Jianming's address to Xu Kejing changed from Xiao Xu to "Miss Xu", and he no longer had the arrogance of the past.

"We, Mr. Qi..."

Pei Jianming informed Xu Kejing of Qi Zhongkai's decision, and his attitude should be as sincere as possible.

"If you're not free, I can bring the person and the contract over there!"

"Building 32 in Walden Villa District, right?"

"Okay, okay, I'll take people there right now!"

The phone call lasted for five or six minutes. After Pei Jianming hung up the phone, his heart finally returned to his stomach.

"How is it?" Qi Zhongkai raised his eyes and looked at Pei Jianming.

Pei Jianming looked anxious and said: "They agreed to terminate the contract. I will take the people and the contract with me right away."

"Go on, go on, I admit defeat for this matter today! No matter what happens, let's get it over with!"

Qi Zhongkai said impatiently, stood up from his seat, turned around and walked out the door.

Pei Jianming did not dare to waste any more time and hurriedly asked the office staff to find Xu Kejing's contract, and then asked the company's driver to take him straight to Zhao Xin's villa.

At about 4:30 p.m., Pei Jianming and one of his secretaries came to the outside of Building 32 of the Walden Villa District with the contract and the company's official seal, and dialed Xu Kejing's phone again.

After a few words after the call was connected, Xu Kejing and Zhao Xin went out and brought Pei Jianming and his little secretary in.

The termination of the contract went smoothly. From the time Pei Jianming walked in to the time he walked out, it only took seven or eight minutes at most.

"Congratulations Xiaojing! You are finally free!"

"Congratulations, Xiaojing!"

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

After sending Pei Jianming away, everyone once again congratulated Xu Kejing for completing the contract termination and regaining her free agency.

"Have you terminated the contract?" Luo Yanning came down from upstairs with a contract in her hand and looked at Xu Kejing and asked her.

When Xu Kejing and Pei Jianming just terminated their contract, Luo Yanning went to Zhao Xin's study to "exclusively customize" a new contract for her.

As long as you complete the contract with Xu Kejing, you can complete the special mission of [Star of Tomorrow Phase 1].

Luo Yanning couldn't wait any longer.

Zhang Qian looked at the contract in Luo Yanning's hand and looked at Xu Kejing with a "sad" look on her face:

"Xiao Jing, you have just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth again..."

"..." After Luo Yanning heard Zhang Qian's words, she almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.

Luo Shuning said speechlessly: "Damn, you should be more polite! No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."

"Hahaha~" Zhao Xin laughed at the side: "Brother Shuning will definitely not cheat Xiaojing like Tiancheng Entertainment Company."

"Let me see first! Let me see who is more corrupt between you and Tiancheng~"

Zhang Qian grabbed the contract from Luo Shuning without saying anything and read it quickly.

"Internship period is one month, internship salary is 15k, five insurances and one housing fund, 25k guaranteed salary after internship, 55% share of commercial performance or endorsement fee..."

The contract that Luo Shuning "tailored" for Xu Kejing is definitely a conscience.

After all, they are brothers and sisters, and he never thought of using Xu Kejing to make money.

Zhang Qian looked more and more surprised, raised her eyes to Luo Shuning and said:

"Luo Zi, does your company still need artists? Do you think I can do it?

I don't want much, just give me a copy of Xiaojing's contract."

Luo Shuning said with a smile: "Our company is not short of artists for the time being, but we are short of a cleaner, do you want to come?"

"Get out of here~" Zhang Qian said indignantly: "You know what I hate most in my life is cleaning!

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, I will never clean for you even if I die!"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed at Luo Shuning and Zhang Qian's jokes.

Luo Shuning and Zhang Qian always quarreled when they were together. The two were used to playing around, and it was a bit unusual for them not to quarrel for a day.

After laughing and joking, Zhang Qian returned the contract to Xu Kejing for her to review.

"Isn't this salary too high?"

After reading the terms and salary on the contract, Xu Kejing looked at Luo Shuning with surprise.

You can get a salary of 15k during the internship period, and the guaranteed salary after the internship period is as high as 25k!

If fresh college students see this contract, they will definitely be envious and cry!

In this era where all walks of life are extremely involuted, in this era where college students are as numerous as dogs.

It is difficult for fresh graduates to find a job with a salary of about 5,000!

A job with a guaranteed minimum of 25k and full five insurances and one housing fund according to the actual salary only exists in dreams!

"You can regard this guaranteed minimum salary as an investment of the company in you."

Luo Shuning smiled and explained: "I signed you to the company because I see your strength. I believe that in the near future, you can create more profits for the company!"

Whether Xu Kejing can create more profits for the company in the future is actually not important to Luo Shuning at all.

What is important to Luo Shuning is that signing a contract with Xu Kejing can complete the special task of [Star of Tomorrow Phase I]!

Completing a special task with such a contract is definitely a win-win for Luo Shuning!

Compared with the [Respect Teachers and Value Education] task that costs 30 million to complete, Xu Kejing's contract is nothing at all!

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Your brother is right! He is not short of money now, Xiaojing, don't be polite to him about money! Sign the contract quickly!"

"Yes, Xiaojing, we are a family, so don't talk about it."

"Don't hesitate, just sign it!"

Under the urging of everyone, Xu Kejing picked up a pen and signed his name in several places on the contract where he needed to sign.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the [Star of Tomorrow Phase I] task! ]

The moment Xu Kejing signed the contract, Luo Shuning received a system prompt message.
