Li Yiyang could understand that they wanted to fall in love during this period, and he could also understand that they were hiding it for the sake of their debut.
However, they did indeed violate the company's rules.
If this matter is true, Li Yiyang really can no longer keep Wang Zifan in this combination.
After hearing what Li Yiyang said, those few people looked at each other, and everyone started thinking.
The air gradually solidified, the whole room was silent, and even their breathing could be heard clearly.
At this time, Chen Xi, the youngest, slowly raised his hand.
Seeing this situation, Li Yiyang narrowed his eyes. It seemed that these people were hiding a lot from him.
He raised his hand and said, "Say!"
Chen Xi said nervously: "I'm sorry, boss, I know I shouldn't steal food."
"Although I have gained a few pounds recently, I promise that I will definitely lose weight before my debut!"
He swallowed, his expression was very nervous, and his eyes were filled with guilt.
Li Yiyang was helpless. He thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be stolen.
"The company does have requirements for your weight, but as long as it is not too fat and affects your face when you are on camera, it will be fine if you cannot dance."
"You are all boys. You exercise a lot and are under a lot of pressure. I can understand if you can eat a little. It's not a big deal."
"Except for this incident, it is worse than these things. Which of you did something that was expressly prohibited from doing in the contract?"
He just needed to make his words clear. If Wang Zifan didn't say anything, he might not even give him the last chance.
Seeing the nervous expressions of those people, Li Yiyang shook his head, "Since he won't say it, I will say it for him."
Just when he was about to speak, Wang Zifan stepped out and said, "Boss, I...I did something that was sorry for the group."
"I voluntarily quit and I will make up for the losses caused to the company, but it may take some time."
If you do something that violates the rules and are kicked out of the team, it is also a violation of the contract and you need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages, although the price is relatively not very high.
Seeing him take the initiative to stand up, Li Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did you do? Tell me and listen."
Wang Zifan took a deep breath and said, "I'm in love. I know it's written in the contract that we can't fall in love."
"But the two of us have been together for a long time. If it weren't for her encouragement this time, I wouldn't have participated in this talent show."
"I didn't expect that I would stay in the end. This was my dream. She didn't want to stop me, so she let me join the company and hid the fact that I had a girlfriend."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hid it from the company, and I shouldn't have delayed your training for such a long time."
Of course he felt embarrassed. Li Yiyang had already written all the songs for their group, and they had been rehearsing them.
Now that such a change has occurred, the group suddenly lost one person, and it will not be possible to make up for it in the short term.
He knew that what he did was unethical, so he had nothing to say.
Li Yiyang asked: "Is that person also from our company?"
Wang Zifan nodded and said: "Some time ago, I just joined the company as an assistant."
If it weren't for himself, his girlfriend wouldn't come here to apply for a job. Wang Zifan also vaguely guessed that someone might have seen what happened today.
He did have some regrets, but he didn't regret falling in love, but felt that it was immoral to hide the company's affairs.
But making his debut was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, and he finally got such an opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
Now that things have reached this point, it's too late to say anything.
Li Yiyang said: "From today on, you will withdraw from the group, and I will make another decision on this matter."
Wang Zifan nodded without any objection, while several other team members were a little anxious.
Although they wanted to say a few words to Wang Zifan, they did not dare to speak casually when facing Li Yiyang.
Even Li Tian, who was standing aside, did not dare to speak when he heard that this incident was true.
Strictly speaking, this was a dereliction of duty on his part, as he couldn't even figure these things out.
Now that they have been training for so long in vain, and even the debut of this group will most likely be delayed, Li Yiyang did not get angry, which is already considered his own quality.
Wang Zifan turned his head and bowed to the other team members, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone because of my relationship."
"My decision and behavior were indeed selfish. Now that they have been exposed, I am relieved that I don't have to worry about it every day."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Li Yiyang again, "I'm sorry, boss, it was me who harmed the company and almost caused losses."
"I'm going to pack my bags and leave the company now. I just don't know about the liquidated damages. Can you give me some mercy?"
Li Yiyang snorted, "Do you think it's worth it?
Give up your future for your so-called love."
"If you are willing to break up now, you can still make your debut. After all, this is something you have been looking forward to and insisting on for a long time."
Wang Zifan shook his head, "If I break up, I will break up early. She has helped me a lot, and I like her very much."
Li Yiyang looked at him and said, "If I remember correctly, you are the original singer and you have written a few songs for me before, right?"
Seeing Wang Zifan nodding, he said: "The company's liquidated damages should be paid with the copyright of the songs you wrote!"
"Quit this group and develop on your own in the future. I want you to be an independent singer. I just don't know if you can take on this big responsibility."
Wang Zifan has not yet realized what he meant.
Liu Lu said: "Zifan, why are you still standing there?
Why don’t you thank Boss Li quickly and give you another chance?”
He reminded him, and then Wang Zifan said: "Boss Li, don't you want to drive me out of the company?"
Li Yiyang chuckled, "The company has been trusting you for so long for nothing. What benefits can I get by driving you out of the company now?"
"You can write songs, which is considered a talent. If you stay and continue to create value for the company, then I will not lose money."
They are all young people, and falling in love is not a very sinful thing, not to mention that it has not caused any losses to the company.
It would be too cruel for Li Yiyang to directly cut off his hope and future and ask him to leave the company.
After all, they have already established a good reputation. If they let Wang Zifan leave directly, no company would dare to accept him.
The main reason is that Li Yiyang has been able to understand the few songs he wrote before.
Wang Zifan was originally the sub-vocalist in their team, so even if he debuted on his own, it would be okay, but his singing skills are still a bit weak.
