Peng Yuchen showed a sarcastic expression: "Ms. Gu, when you said we'll see when the time comes, did you mean to tear up the contract between us directly? I guess you may even be prepared for liquidated damages."
Gu Changge remained silent.
Peng Yuchen's expression turned indifferent, and there was a hint of sternness in his eyes: "Ms. Gu, I have to tell you, you are dreaming if you think that everyone can get together and break up after paying the liquidated damages!"
"I don't know if you still remember. I didn't hesitate to visit the thatched cottage in order to sign this contract with your daughter, but it was not to get the liquidated damages."
"I can understand how you feel about your daughter. Instead of following such a small company with an uncertain future to determine whether the girl group can be successful, you might as well try this popular show that is available right now."
"But Ms. Gu, your daughter has been training with us for such a long time and has been confirmed as an official member of the girl group that is about to debut."
"All our debut preparations and planning are based on her existence. If she quits now, all our previous work, all our efforts, and everyone's efforts will be in vain. I will not allow this.
things happen."
"If you insist on leaving with your daughter, of course I can't restrict your personal freedom, but I will definitely hold you accountable, and I will fight this lawsuit to the end!"
"Ms. Gu, even if your daughter really becomes famous overnight on "The Voice", but then becomes entangled in lawsuits in an instant, what do you think everyone will think? Is this a good result for her?"
Ms. Gu Changge's face also turned cold: "Mr. Peng seems to be threatening me?"
"That's right!"
Peng Yuchen said coldly: "Ms. Gu, I thought you should have known from the first time we interacted that I am the kind of person who will never give up until I achieve my goal."
"You can think that I am rude and barbaric, but the reason why I can survive in this circle today is because of this determination!"
Ms. Gu Changge did not have any unnecessary verbal disputes with her. Judging from the relationship between the two, she might actually be able to do such a thing.
Before coming today, Gu Changge guessed that Peng Yuchen might object to this arrangement, but he did not expect that the reaction would be so violent.
"Mr. Peng, after all, Xiaowei is your artist now. If she can increase her popularity, it will be good for you, a girl group that has not yet debuted, right?"
In fact, she had already given in and did not mention the breach of contract again, but Peng Yuchen still shook his head: "Ms. Gu, you haven't understood what I mean."
"Now that Gu Caiwei participates in this show, without transferring the artist contract to the other party, the most she can do is pass the preliminary round, and then eliminate her early in the top 32 or top 16."
"You might think that even if she appears on the show, she will be seen by many people. After all, there were contestants who were not ranked high but were very popular in the first show, right?"
"wrong!"
"This is unacceptable to me. I worked so hard to select the C position for the first girl group. I have trained it for so long. How can the member who has the highest hopes become a stepping stone for others before they even debut?
, be someone else’s foil!”
"If you leave the public with the impression that you are just a first- or second-round contestant on "The Voice" from the beginning, how far can you go in the future?"
"Ms. Gu, I told you a long time ago that my goal has always been to be the number one girl group in the country. If you thought I was just talking nonsense before, please remember it from now on!"
Gu Changge didn't pay attention to her verbal offense, but frowned and confirmed: "So what Mr. Peng means is that Xiaowei's appearance on the show cannot be discussed?"
Peng Yuchen replied decisively: "Either you take her back to wait for the court summons, or you stay here and listen to me!"
…
That private cabin was not far from Peng Yuchen's company, so Ms. Gu Changge appeared there soon after.
She didn't show any surprise when she saw Lin Yi. Sooner or later, this place would be used by them for private meetings, but she didn't expect that Lin Yi happened to be in Shanghai at this time.
Gu Changge specially installed an anti-theft surveillance camera at the door. I believe Lin Yi should understand what it means.
"Mother!"
Gu Caiwei jumped up and ran over to greet them. She met the two most important people to her today, so she was in a very happy mood.
Ms. Gu Changge purchased a lot of ingredients from somewhere and used the kitchen here to cook a sumptuous dinner. The three of them sat together, much like they did in Chengdu.
After cleaning up, she did not shy away from Lin Yi and said directly: "Xiaowei, do you still remember Director Xia from Zhijiang TV that I brought you to meet during the Chinese New Year?"
"Remember."
Gu Caiwei blinked in confusion. Nothing happened after that meeting. Although her mother briefly mentioned several times that she was still in contact with Director Xia, she thought she had given up on that show.
Now I suddenly ask, has there been any change?
Lin Yi's heart moved. He had previously wondered when Ms. Gu Changge would tell Gu Caiwei about this, but now it seemed that he and Peng Yuchen had not reached an agreement.
Ms. Gu Changge told her daughter: "During this period, Director Xia and I have been discussing your appearance on "The Voice" and even asked your father to come forward. Finally, he agreed to let you appear on the show without changing the contract.
.”
"But I just went to see Peng Yuchen. She was fiercely opposed to this arrangement and very firmly refused to let you be on this show."
"I originally wanted to tell you after I had arranged this matter, but now that such an accident has occurred, I would like to hear what you think?"
Gu Caiwei was caught off guard. The news was too sudden for her.
"What will be the consequences if I don't appear on this show?"
Gu Changge explained to her: "You know this is the most popular talent show at the moment. Although there is no guarantee that you will become famous overnight, it can at least increase your popularity. It is a very precious opportunity."
If it was just like this, it would not be an option at all. Gu Caiwei tilted her head and looked at her mother: "What if I fall in love?"
Gu Changge calmly explained: "Because your contract is in the hands of Peng Yuchen, participating in entertainment activities requires her consent. She has now clearly threatened to sue you for breach of contract if you appear on the show without permission."
"Well……"
Gu Caiwei didn't expect that one day she would be involved in a lawsuit. It wasn't that she was scared, but she was a little surprised. She didn't know what her mother told Mr. Peng and why it came to this point.
In fact, it doesn't matter what Ms. Gu Changge said, nor is Peng Yuchen's handling of this matter because of her attitude. What matters is the stakes involved.
Gu Caiwei noticed that her mother was looking at her calmly, and subconsciously turned her head to look for Lin Yi next to her, and found the same signal in his eyes.
