Although it was close to the meal, most of the employees of the company had not yet left work. The car drove fast on the road and arrived at the 106 Hejin Apartment rented by Lu Xingchen before the rush hour.

Lu Yi took off his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car, Kong Si followed him.

Lu Yi watched him follow him out, and explained, “I can solve this by myself.”

Kong Si looked at him, did not sit back, just said: “I don’t know where you live, who knows if you telling a lie.”

When he first drove downstairs, he was thinking that he shouldn’t have say ‘shut up’ the other party before, but should have correct the other party and say that Lu Yi should call him husband.

But it had been so long, and now it would feel inexplicable to add a sentence, so he gave up.

Lu Yi couldn’t guess what his newlywed wife was thinking, and there was nothing shameless anyway, so Kong Si could just follow him.

The original owner rented the apartment on the 27th floor. Two people entered the elevator and went upstairs. When Lu Yi took the key to open the door, Li He, who heard the noise, opened the door from inside.

“Lu Xingchen, are you crazy, cancel the contract, I think you took the wrong medicine?!”

Seeing the face of the disobedient artist, Li He opened his mouth and the stars flew around.

When his voice fell, Lu Yi, who was watching silently, said, “Mr. Li, you should be more clear-headed.”

Although he knew that the original owner’s agent was very unreliable, and he didn’t care about Lu Xingchen, he was too unwilling to admit that he was wrong.

Hearing a familiar voice from the side, Li He looked up at his side, and then at the young man he had just cursed with his nose.

Looking at the left, then at the right, he blurted out: “Lu Xingchen, don’t think that if you find your brother, I will be afraid of you!”

Kong Si’s face was originally half black, but after Li He’s words came out, the remaining half of his face was also completely black.

He was about to get angry, but Lu Yi spoke before him: “The termination of the contract is a matter between me and the company, and it has nothing to do with him.”

Although Li He was just an agent with no abilities, he still mixed in the entertainment circle after all. He remembered that Kong Si should enter the entertainment circle.

If this was the case, he didn’t want to reveal the fact that the other party was married before his career started.

And even if most celebrities were married, they would hardly reveal their family information to outsiders, avoiding their family members being disturbed by the ubiquitous paparazzi and some crazy fans or black fans.

Kong Si didn’t like to listen to Lu Yi’s words, but he was also aware of the other party’s concerns. In order to resolve the matter smoothly, he still chose to remain silent, who didn’t know much about the information.

“All go in first, private matters should be discussed inside.”

Lu Yi gave Kong Si a look and to calm him down. Although it had only been ten hours since the two people opened their eyes to meet, but in just ten hours, he could somewhat understand what kind of personality Kong Si had.

The room was messy. Lu Yi first took out a stool and put it in front of Kong Si: “You sit down.”

Kong Si glanced at him and sat down.

Lu Yi turned his head and moved another stool and put it next to Li He.

Li He thought in his heart that he was still polite, and he was about to sit down when he saw Lu Yi himself sitting on the second stool.

Lu Yi sat there, and then there was no more.

Li He stood for a while, feeling a little sore in his legs, he blurted out again: “Where is mine?”

“Mr. Li, I remember that you should be an adult. Even the kindergarten children know that they have to do their own things.”

“That’s right, I can’t move if I want to sit down, and you’re not his wife!” Kong Si choked on him strangely. Yes, he still felt bad about Lu Yi’s “wife” and “it has nothing to do with him.”

His petty temper, if it weren’t for Lu Yi’s intention to talk about serious matters, he must had exploded in the first place.

Li He glanced at this young man who looked somewhat similar to Lu Xingchen, he couldn´t find another stole so he sat down on Lu Xingchen’s bed.

“You talked about the termination of the contract before. Don’t forget that it was a contract you signed voluntarily. You have to stay in the company for five years. Now you have been in the company for less than two years. Are you sure?”

He knew that Lu Xingchen was very poor, and only after he had checked this, he dared to yell in front of this little artist.

Lu Xingchen debuted on the talent show, and the one responsible for the talent show was Yuan Meng Entertainment, the entertainment company he was currently working for.

In order to retain these outstanding seeds, the company all hinted at the top ten players to sign with the company, but Lu Xingchen had no experience and was a newcomer who could not be new, so he signed the contract foolishly. So, he entered this completely unreliable company.

When he was hid in the snow, it was not that he had not thought of terminating the contract with the company, but he had no reputation at all, and could not receive any films and advertisements. The penalty of 20,000 yuan could still be compensated for one compensation, but two million yuan, it was impossible for Lu Yi.

The original owner’s family was also an ordinary well-off family and couldn´t afford such a high penalty.

Lu Yi stood up and found the signed contract. He turned over the contract: “Your company signed a comprehensive contract with me. As the client, I have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract. If I personally terminate the contract without a valid reason, I naturally need to face a claim. But what if I have a reason?”

Li He didn’t expect Lu Xingchen to hear about the huge amount of liquidated damages, and instead of regretting he actually said these meaningful words: “What do you mean by this?”

“After signing the contract, your company did not provide me with relevant performing arts opportunities and activities as stated in the contract, nor did it invest a large amount of money in my body, or even provide basic protection for my life. Based on this situation, the complaint in the court, my liquidated damages will not be too high.”

In order to protect the rights and interests of entertainment companies, the company would basically set a high amount of compensation in the contract, but the original owner’s situation was rather special. Soon after he joined the company, he offended the high-level staff and had been hidden in the snow.

When the court decided on compensation, it was of course not only based on the amount stated in the contract, but based on the company’s contribution to the artist.

But Yuan Meng Entertainment didn’t invest much money in him at all, let alone two million, no investment worth 100,000 yuan.

The original owner didn´t have to accept various commercial performances against the will of the company. Because he was not well-known, he would not be very high in measuring his future development and business losses. What’s more, he would not act as an artist after the contract was terminated, going to other entertainment companies.

The original owner was concerned about liquidated damages before, but because he didn’t know the doorway here, and seeing the two million written on the contract, he really thought that he would be sentenced to so much, so he kept dragging on and dared not terminate the contract.

But Lu Yi read through the law. Although the world was slightly different from his world, after waking up, he searched the internet for related cases and determined that the relevant laws in this world were similar to the original world, and the liquidated damages did not require him to worry too much.

Lu Xingchen signed a five-year sale contract. Only two years had passed. It was not impossible to delay him to terminate the contract after three years. But if the entertainment company required him to perform his obligations as an artist by contract, wouldn’t he pay it back? To participate in a variety of programs, go to the crew to play Dragon Set A, B, C, D.

Lu Yi didn’t like this potential trouble, so at the beginning, he had to solve it clearly.

He sat very upright, and his negotiating posture was also very imposing: “If I go to court, the compensation I need to pay should not exceed 100,000 yuan. But after all, the company has also train me, and I still hope that we can negotiate amicably. Let the company take the initiative to propose to terminate the contract with me.”

Li He asked him back: “Why?”

“Of course, I arranged it. You have no reputation…” The familiar voice came out of the phone’s amplifier.

Lu Yi held the original owner’s phone and smiled and said, “With your reputation and future in the industry, Mr. Li, I think He Xiao and his agent must be very interested in who calculates him. What do you think?”
