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 newcomers, so 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 was smoking a cigarette and said with a somewhat irritable expression: "What's the use of talking about this now?
Please find a solution to this matter quickly! I promised Director He to call you 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 number given above.
…
Beijing, Walden Pond villa area, inside Zhao Rui's villa.
Jingle bells, jingle bells--!
As soon as the group entered the door, Zhao Rui's cell phone rang in her pocket.
I took out my phone and took a look. The name on the caller ID was: Mom.
"Hey Mom, is there any good news?"
Zhao Rui 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 would like to thank my mom first on behalf of my sisters. My mom is so amazing!"
"Okay, okay, definitely, definitely."
Zhao Rui answered the call and said a few words to the other party before hanging up.
Zhang Qian asked impatiently: "How are you doing, Xiaorui and Xiaojing?"
"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 Rui 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 Rui. I owe everything today to Sister Rui for her help."
Xu Kejing turned to look at Zhao Rui and thanked her sincerely.
Zhao Rui waved her hands carelessly: "Okay, okay, I've already 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 Rui's words, she swallowed her words of thanks back to her mouth. It was indeed as Zhao Rui said, when we are friends, it would be boring to come and go.
"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 Rui 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 that you don't answer?"
Xu Kejing looked at everyone and asked: "There is a call from Tiancheng Entertainment Company, should I 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 voice 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 a little lenient with you."
"You don't need to pay compensation for the resources the company invests 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.
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, Xu Kejing's tense expression relaxed a lot.
Just when Xu Kejing was about to agree, Zhao Rui 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 Rui's words, and reached out to cover the phone's receiver.
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 Rui 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, I'll tell you."
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 Rui 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 their turn 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 free 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, his whole body felt bad and he stood up from his chair with a sudden sound.
"Director He is backing this up. He is so tough and 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 way things are handled does not satisfy Director He, the other party will just find some fault with Tiancheng Entertainment, and the loss will not be one or two million.
No entertainment company is clean, there are more or less problems, and Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. is no exception.
If someone is targeting you, you will be forced to suspend business for rectification at best, or close down at worst.
Qi Zhongkai can manage Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. to its current scale. He is also a capable and intelligent person.
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, please 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 Tiancheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. was established!
"Ah, what? The situation is pressing! Who can ask me to support you? 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 the arrogance was no longer the same.
"We, Mr. Qi..."
Pei Jianming informed Xu Kejing of Qi Zhongkai's decision and asked him to 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 over it quickly!"
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 Rui's villa.
At around 4:30 p.m., Pei Jianming and one of his secretaries took the contract and the company's official seal to the outside of Building 32 in the Walden Villa area, and dialed Xu Kejing's phone again.
After a few words after the call was connected, Xu Kejing and Zhao Rui 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 Rui'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 was already a little impatient.
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 Yanning was speechless and said: "Nima, you should practice some oral ethics! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"Hahaha~" Zhao Rui laughed and said, "Brother Yan Ning will definitely not trick Xiaojing like Tiancheng Entertainment did."
"Let me see it first! Let me see who is the bad one between you and Tiancheng~"
Zhang Qian couldn't help but snatch the contract from Luo Yanning's hand and read it carefully.
"The internship lasts for one month, with a salary of 15K during the internship, five insurances and one housing fund, a minimum salary of 25K after the internship, and a 55% share of commercial performance or endorsement fees..."
The contract that Luo Yanning "tailor-made" for Xu Kejing can definitely be regarded as conscientious.
After all, he never thought about using Xu Kejing to make money when they were siblings.
The more Zhang Qian looked, the more surprised she became. She raised her eyes and looked at Luo Yanning and said:
"Luo Zi, do you still need artists in your company? Can you think of me?
I don’t want much, just give me one copy of Xiaojing’s contract.”
Luo Yanning suppressed a smile and said: "Our company has no shortage of artists for the time being, but we still need a cleaner. Do you want to come?"
"Get out of here~" Zhang Qian said angrily: "You know what I hate most in my life is cleaning!
Shi Ke can't be killed, I won't clean your house even if I die!"
"Hahaha~"
Everyone laughed at Luo Yanning and Zhang Qian's amusement.
Luo Yanning and Zhang Qian always bickered when they got together. The two of them were used to having fun, but they felt a little uncomfortable if they didn't quarrel for a day.
After the laughter, Zhang Qian returned the contract to Xu Kejing for her to review.
"Isn't this salary too high?"
After Xu Kejing read the terms and salary package in the contract, she looked at Luo Yanning in surprise.
You can get a salary of 15K during the internship period, and the guaranteed salary after the internship is as high as 25K!
If fresh college students were to see this contract, they would definitely make them cry with envy!
In this era where all walks of life are extremely involved, in this era where there are as many college students as dogs.
It is difficult for fresh graduates to find a job with a salary of around 5,000!
A job with a minimum guarantee of 25K and full payment of five social insurances and one housing fund according to the actual salary only exists in dreams!
"You can regard this guaranteed salary as the company's investment in you."
Luo Yanning smiled and explained: "I signed you into the company because of 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 Yanning at all.
Signing a contract with Xu Kejing can complete the special task of [Star of Tomorrow Phase 1], which is what is important to Luo Yanning!
Using such a contract to complete a special task is definitely a huge profit for Luo Yanning!
Xu Kejing's contract is nothing compared to the mission of "Respecting Teachers and Emphasizing Education" that costs 30 million to complete!
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Your brother is right! He is not short of money now. Xiao Jing, please don't be polite to him about money! Sign the contract quickly!"
"Yes, Xiaojing, don't speak two different languages as a family."
"No need to hesitate, just sign and that's it!"
Under the encouragement of everyone, Xu Kejing picked up a pen and signed his name in several places on the contract that required signatures.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the [Star of Tomorrow Phase 1] mission! 】
The moment Xu Kejing signed the contract, Luo Yanning received a system prompt message.
