It's really busy every day, but I still enjoy it, otherwise Chen Feng would definitely want to stay at home all the time.
But there is no way. With great ability comes greater responsibility.
He has so many confidantes who need him to comfort him, so he has to shoulder this responsibility.
When the two girls came back today, their faces looked a little unhappy.
Chen Feng took the initiative and asked, "What's the matter? I see something's wrong with your faces."
This time Sun Xiaorui took the lead and said: "Jiang Shumin wants to terminate the contract with our company, saying that he wants to open a personal studio and not be affiliated with any company, but choose to go it alone."
Jiang Shumin is a contracted female artist who was packaged and bought from her original company. She is considered the heroine in "Heshan Order". However, the highlight of that drama was the two male protagonists, and she does not have many memories as the heroine.
Therefore, even though "Heshan Order" became a big hit later, she actually didn't have much fame. Later, she played a supporting role in "The Sapphire Case" and she became famous, barely reaching the rank of a second-tier star.
But compared to the other Luo Yingying who was packaged from the original company, her popularity is much weaker.
Luo Yingying is now considered a first-line star, Jiang Shumin is obviously lagging behind.
Not to mention that their company now has top-notch female artists like Zhang Jingwen, Zhang Yuxi, and He Xiaofeng.
Chen Feng asked: "Is she just planning to terminate the contract with us because she wants to go it alone? Are there any other reasons?"
This time Wu Mengting said: "Although she didn't say it explicitly, she was mainly resentful towards us. She considered herself to be the veteran of our company, and she was older than Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Jingwen who later joined our company. The company should praise her first.
She was right, but in the end she flattered Zhang Yuxi and the others first."
Chen Feng was not surprised by this. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Since she wants to leave, there is no point in forcing her to stay. How long will her contract last? How much is the liquidated damages?"
Sun Xiaorui said: "There are still almost two years left in the contract, and the liquidated damages are 30 million, but she is definitely not willing to pay so much, so she came to us to discuss and pay us 10 million in liquidated damages."
The liquidated damages of 10 million yuan were actually not too small. Chen Feng was still a little surprised and asked: "Did she pay for this money herself? Is she willing to do it?"
Jiang Shumin's family situation seems to be relatively average. Although she has been quite famous in the past year, she probably can't earn much, maybe 20 to 30 million at most. It's true that she took out 10 million in one go to pay liquidated damages.
Very courageous.
Sun Xiaorui said: "I asked someone to inquire. This time she has climbed to the top and is getting along with a rich second generation in the capital. This rich second generation already has a family, a wife and children, so she is considered to be a good person.
However, this second-generation rich man is also willing to give up on her. He has already spent a lot of money on her, and he also paid her back some time ago through a trust relationship.
She introduced a lot of resources, two of which were introduced by her as the sponsor, and the total price was 10 million. In this regard, our company took some advantage and got the share in vain. So, if
If Jiang Shumin really wants to terminate the contract with us, the 10 million termination fee will most likely be paid by her sponsor."
Wu Mengting nodded and said: "I suspect that Jiang Shumin planned to set up a personal studio to work alone, and she was instigated by her financial backer. Otherwise, she should not have such courage."
Chen Feng frowned slightly and asked, "Does she have a good background as a financial sponsor?"
Wu Mengting said: "There must be some foundation, otherwise Jiang Shumin would not have the guts to terminate the contract with us in advance and ask us to lower the liquidated damages."
Chen Feng asked: "What do you mean? What do you think of Ren Ziyu?"
Sun Xiaorui said: "Mr. Ren said that things should be done according to the contract. Since the contract was signed at the beginning, the liquidated damages were 30 million. Now that she terminates the contract early, she has to pay the liquidated damages in full. What I mean is that the contract she signed with our company is for three years.
Years, now there are almost two years left, just pay 20 million liquidated damages."
Wu Mengting said: "Xiaorui is still too kind. The liquidated damages are not reduced year by year, and our company has not sorry for her. The reason why she is so popular now is also the result of our company praising her. It's just that we don't act like
hold a piece of paper
Yu Xi and Zhang Jingwen are just praising her like that. Even if she is ungrateful and resentful towards us, this is definitely not okay. Therefore, the liquidated damages must be paid in full, otherwise she will continue to work in our company
Work until the contract expires."
Sun Xiaorui rarely opened her mouth to argue: "On the surface, our company has not treated her badly, but in fact, we all know that it has treated her somewhat badly. Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Jingwen both joined our company later, and she ranks behind them."
We did not praise her highly before. In this case, it is normal for her to be angry. She has actually made a lot of money for our company in the past two years. Since she is leaving, we should not embarrass her. Everyone
It’s easy to get together and relax.”
Wu Mengting said disapprovingly: "Her plasticity is much worse than Zhang Jingwen and Zhang Yuxi, otherwise we would have praised her long ago. But even so, our company has given her a lot of resources, otherwise how could she be so popular now?
She is ungrateful, and even if we don't ask her to pay liquidated damages, she won't appreciate our kindness."
Sun Xiaorui did not argue with Wu Mengting anymore, but looked at Chen Feng and asked: "Boss, what do you think?"
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he said: "Let's give it a discount, 15 million. This is the lowest price. If she pays it, she will terminate the contract peacefully. Otherwise, she will act in accordance with the rules."
After Wu Mengting hesitated for a moment, she nodded in agreement: "Okay, then that's the price. If she still doesn't know what's going on, then she won't even think about terminating the contract. Next, we will hide her or squeeze her as hard as we can according to the rules."
Chen Feng said: "Don't make things too rigid. Since she relies on a big benefactor, the big benefactor won't care about more than 5 million."
Wu Mengting pouted and said, "I hope so."
Chen Feng then asked: "How is Luo Yingying doing? Do you also have plans to terminate the contract?"
Wu Mengting immediately said: "She definitely doesn't have such thoughts. Compared with Jiang Shumin, Luo Yingying is much simpler, and she doesn't have much ambition. I have already told her in advance that she will be the next TV series I specially created."
At least she’s the second female lead, and I’ll tailor her lower body for her.”
"That's good. Although our company mainly focuses on film and television production, we must also pay attention to artist training and management work. Please let Hu Rui pay more attention and don't suddenly do things like Jiang Shumin. Jiang Shumin has this
Her thoughts definitely haven’t changed for a day or two, and it’s also true that she has resentment in her heart. As the manager of the artist department, doesn’t Hu Rui understand her situation at all?”
Wu Mengting said: "Hu Rui admitted her mistake to me and took the initiative to admit that she had shortcomings in her work."
Chen Feng asked: "How would you objectively evaluate Hu Rui's working ability?"
After Wu Mengting thought about it, she said truthfully: "She is relatively skilled in management matters, but she is somewhat lacking in artist management. She cannot communicate well with the company's artists, and she is not very good at cultivating the company's artists.
Take heart."
Chen Feng said: "Recruit a more professional person to serve as the deputy manager of the artist department. Let this person manage and take care of the artist's life, do a good job in communication, and also do a little bit of training in the company's trainees."
Wu Mengting immediately understood the deeper meaning of Chen Feng's arrangement and found a more professional person to serve as the deputy manager. This would serve as a reminder to Hu Rui and increase her initiative and enthusiasm for work.
In addition, this deputy manager is actually Hu Rui's candidate for the manager. If Hu Rui makes any mistakes at work, he will probably be replaced by this deputy manager.
Obviously, Chen Feng was actually a little dissatisfied with Hu Rui.
"Okay, I understand. I will ask a headhunting company for help tomorrow and will recruit a deputy manager as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's not talk about the company's affairs for now. You can go and heat up the food and rice."
The two women went to the kitchen obediently.
…
The next day, Saturday.
Wu Mengting contacted the headhunting company early in the morning without forgetting her work to help find a suitable candidate for the deputy manager of the artist department.
After Chen Feng had breakfast, he went out.
This time he went to Bibo Garden first.
He hadn't seen his precious daughter and son for two days, and he missed them somewhat, so that passed.
Like last time, Chen Feng met two women and children together this time, but the meeting place was changed to Hong Xiaodan's side.
"My daughter has missed you so much these past two days. She calls her daddy all the time. You are really cruel, but you just don't come to see her."
Seeing Chen Feng holding and teasing her baby daughter, Liu Ying next to her couldn't help nagging her.
Chen Feng didn't reply to the photos she sent to Chen Feng's daughter in the past two days. This is not a good sign. Before, when she sent him photos or videos of her daughter, he would at least give him a thumbs-up emoticon, but no more in the past two days.
.
Chen Feng didn't want to argue with her, so he said, "I have something to do these two days."
"What can happen to you?" Liu Ying certainly didn't believe it.
Chen Feng ignored her and lay down on the foam mat with his daughter, crawling along and having a great time.
Seeing this, Liu Ying stopped and stopped nagging anyone.
Hong Xiaodan took advantage of the opportunity and immediately carried his son over, playing with Chen Feng, and then watched the two children giggling.
When Chen Feng saw her smiling, he also laughed with her, creating a very warm scene.
This made Liu Ying, who was watching on the sidelines, very uncomfortable and made her seem redundant.
So, she immediately came over. However, she would not imitate the two adults to crawl on the ground. She couldn't do this. The most she could do was sit there and play with the children.
"Why is Niu Niu drooling so much and keeping drooling?" Liu Ying was speechless and immediately focused everyone's attention on Niu Niu.
Hong Xiaodan said: "The nanny said it was due to the baby teeth coming out. It will be fine once the baby teeth grow out."
Liu Ying said: "I don't think so, maybe oral ulcers, herpes or gastrointestinal disorders are possible."
Hong Xiaodan couldn't help being shocked when he heard this and said: "Don't scare me, I think others are quite energetic."
Liu Ying asked: "How is his appetite?"
Hong Xiaodan replied: "My appetite is quite good. I drank milk twice last night and once in the morning. I also had a small bowl of rice cereal."
Liu Ying said: "Then it seems that the problem shouldn't be big, but I think to be on the safe side, I'd better go to the hospital for a checkup. Anyway, it's close, so I'll feel more at ease."
Hearing this, Hong Xiaodan looked at Chen Feng: "Brother, how about I take the child to the hospital for a checkup?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Don't worry blindly, the child is fine. If he is really feeling unwell, he won't be in such good spirits. If you are worried, take a look at his mouth yourself."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Hong Xiaodan immediately went to check his son's mouth, but he couldn't see clearly at first. It wasn't until he went to find a small flashlight that he could see clearly, which made his son cry.
Sure enough, there was no problem, and I finally felt relieved.
Liu Yingjian felt a lot more comfortable after tossing Hong Xiaodan for a while.
Chen Feng was a bystander and knew that Liu Ying had done it deliberately just to torment Hong Xiaodan.
These girls are really not good people.
However, of course he wisely did not expose it and had no intention of telling Hong Xiaodan about it.
After playing with the two children for a while, the two children got tired and were taken to drink milk and sleep by their respective nannies.
The three adults on Chen Feng's side were immediately at ease.
Liu Ying looked at Chen Feng with watery eyes and whispered: "I bought a new set of clothes. Why don't you come over to my place and I'll show you how to wear them."
But Hong Xiaodan heard it and immediately said: "I also bought a new set of clothes. Why don't you go to my room and I'll show you how to wear them."
After saying that, Hong Xiaodan took action directly and dragged Chen Feng towards his room.
Chen Feng had no choice but to be dragged into her bedroom. Seeing this, Liu Ying secretly cursed "a pervert" in her heart and hurriedly followed her in.
Almost two hours later, the three of them came out of the room.
Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan both had smiles on their faces, holding hands, as if they were sisters.
Chen Feng, who was behind them, had a sad look on his face and was not very happy.
He had been working hard these past few days, and the consumption was really great. He realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to do it.
But he didn't have any good idea on how to find a balance, so he couldn't just not see them all the time.
"Chen Feng, what are you thinking about? Come over for dinner quickly."
Seeing that Chen Feng was in a daze, Liu Ying immediately came over and took him to the dining table to eat.
It was now half past twelve, and the three of them were all a little hungry, so they started eating after sitting down.
Chen Feng ate three bowls of rice in one go and ate most of the dishes on the table before burping with satisfaction.
After finishing the meal, Chen Feng took a short rest for a few minutes and then immediately said goodbye and left. The excuse was very real, he just wanted to accompany other people.
The two girls had eaten and drank enough today, and they were very tolerant of this. Even Liu Ying didn't do much to persuade him to stay, so she let him go.
After Chen Feng came out of Bibo Garden, he immediately drove to Rongyuan Building to find Shen Lin.
At this time, Shen Lin was already pregnant with their child, and Chen Feng had to come over to see her from time to time.
This time the two met each other for a little longer. Shen Lin was a little excited when she saw Chen Feng again, so she took the initiative to come over and hugged him tightly.
Considering that she was now pregnant and would become emotionally sensitive and insecure, Chen Feng naturally let her hold her.
After a while, Shen Lin let go of him, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I thought you would never come over again."
Chen Feng had no choice but to explain: "Didn't I tell you before? I went to the capital."
Shen Lin asked with concern: "Did the trip to Beijing go smoothly?"
"It's going well." After Chen Feng nodded, he said a little apologetically, "I don't have a suitable nanny for a while, so why don't I bring your parents over to take care of you first? Otherwise, I really can't stand you alone.
