The contract consisted of three sheets of paper.
Qin Ran had always read these things quickly.
After quickly finishing to read the first page of the contract, she didn’t even bother to read the remaining two pages.
She only tilted her head and pouted her lips as she looked at Yan Xi. She smiled softly and said expressionlessly, “One scandal a week. The woman won’t comment, but you will respond. Are you willing to do something so stupid?”
Yan Xi moved the corners of his mouth. He then lowered his head and said weakly, “I like it.”
Qin Ran understood Yan Xi’s temperament.
He definitely had some repressed feelings.
She nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. After that, she crushed the contract into a ball and threw it behind her.
The crushed paper fell into a rubbish bin not far away.
“Great Master, calm…” Before Boss Wang could finish…
He swallowed his words and watched as the contract was thrown into the bin. Although it was not appropriate, he was very relieved.
The President of Star Entertainment was enraged. He stood up and threw the cup in his hand on the ground. “What are you trying to do? Screw with me?”
Boss Wang’s expression changed, and he smiled. “President, we should discuss things calmly.”
Qin Ran also found a stool and sat down. She looked at the President of Star Entertainment, raised her eyebrows, and didn’t say anything.
Seeing Boss Wang’s reaction, the President of Star Entertainment felt that he was in control. He paused and finally said, “Print another copy of that contract. Furthermore, Jiang Shanyi has to compose two songs for Jiang Xu every year.”
“Since you’ve agreed to let Yan Xi participate in the scandal, I don’t think you need Great Master to compose songs.” Boss Wang frowned and was unable to suppress his anger.
Once he spoke, Qin Ran finally understood what sort of contract Yan Xi was being made to sign.
“You want me to compose?” Qin Ran tilted her head and looked at the President with a smile.
“Miss Qin, you’re right.” The President of Star Entertainment smiled suspiciously at her.
Qin Ran raised her lip. She supported her chin with her hand and slowly spat out two words. “Dream on.”
“Okay. Very good. You have guts. I want to see how you will cancel the contract, then!” The President of Star Entertainment sneered.
“No, President, we don’t have this idea at all.” Boss Wang hurriedly tried to save the situation and whispered to Qin Ran, “Great Master, don’t irritate the President. Yan Xi has had a smooth career for years, a scandal is nothing much to him. We really can’t terminate the contract because of the fee… You don’t have to worry about him. I’m aware of your current situation. It’ll be better after some time…”
After he spoke, Boss Wang finally looked at the President.
Qin Ran looked at Boss Wang for a long while before she nodded and didn’t say anything more.
Seeing that Qin Ran was persuaded, Boss Wang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to negotiate with the President of Star Entertainment.
“It’s fine as long as you have come to a decision. It’s also okay if Jiang Shanyi is unwilling to compose. Yan Xi will just have to participate in more variety shows. I will also accept more movie and TV roles for him…” The President of Star Entertainment continued slowly.
Beside him, his secretary was preparing the contract again.
There were no other noises in the office.
After a long while, the secretary wrote out a new contract and handed it to Boss Wang. It was snatched away by Qin Ran. When she looked at it, it was still filled with unfair terms.
Yan Xi walked over. “Great Master, I will sign it.”
“Who asked you to sign it?” Qin Ran glanced at him.
“Qin Ran.” The President of Star Entertainment saw her looking at the contract. “Very good. I see that you really think you’re something big. Cancel the contract!”
At the same time, Qin Ran’s phone rang.
She lowered her head to look at it. It was a number from Beijing. “Are you here?”
A man’s voice responded, “Yes. The reception desk says I don’t have an appointment.”
“You do.” Qin Ran smiled.
“I don’t…” The man paused, thought about it, and said, “There really is an appointment. Great, I will get on the elevator now.”
After the phone call, Qin Ran placed her hands on the table, stood up, and said to the President without hesitation, “I’m very happy to cancel the contract.”
“Great Master, we can’t do that because we can’t afford the termination fee. It’s fine just to scare him…” Boss Wang pulled Qin Ran’s sleeve and wanted to say something more.
Qin Ran only looked at the doorway.
“Mr. Qi, come this way.” Outside the door, a door guard came in with a tall man.
“Miss Qin, I’m not late, right?” The person said calmly while looking at the people in the office.
“Lawyer Qi.” Qin Ran nodded and greeted him politely. “Sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s nothing.” Lawyer Qi waved his hand.
Qin Ran handed him the black card and then looked at Yan Xi and Boss Wang. “Let’s go back first.”
The two of them looked at each other before following her.
“That… That is…” Boss Wang recognized people easily. “I think I saw him on the news before. Isn’t he Qi Chengjun, the well-known lawyer in Beijing?”
Qin Ran nodded casually.
Boss Wang stopped asking about Qi Chengjun and was worried about the termination of the contract. He smiled bitterly. “Great Master, you were too impulsive. Do you know how much the termination fee is?”
It was at least a billion yuan.
He couldn’t pay back even in ten years.
However, Qin Ran smiled at him. “Do you really think I’m defeated?”
Boss Wang was shocked. “But the internet…”
Qin Ran patted his shoulder and placed the baseball cap on her head again. She looked at the time on her phone. It was almost time. “Well, check out the Qin Corporation’s official website.”
Inside the office.
When Qin Ran and the rest left.
The President of Star Entertainment’s heart sank.
Even if Yan Xi didn’t participate in variety shows, he was still the company’s cash cow and the face of the company. He only used the termination fee to threaten Yan Xi because the fee was enormous.
Yan Xi’s current net worth was insufficient.
However, Qin Ran was really going to make Yan Xi cancel the contract…
His company would be done for then as its stock price would definitely plummet!
Especially since he also had to face Qi Chengjun. The President of Star Entertainment regretted being too greedy.
Before he discussed the termination fee with Qi Chengjun, his secretary received a call and quickly turned on his phone to look at Weibo. He opened a notification and said with a dazed expression, “President… something happened!”
“What?” The President looked up.
The secretary showed him the hot topics on Weibo.
[Poppy, Qin Ran.]
[Yunguang Consortium’s Poppy.]
[Qin Corporation’s Qin Ran.]
After six months, Qin Ran became a hot search topic again.
