Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as Yu Han had thought, Bai Chao had his own persistence. Forget about work, he was flexible for his dream. However, work was work, and life was life. If he even had to ask Yu Han such a personal matter like rent and get her to pay for it, he would be too shameless as a man.

Hence, Bai Chao rejected Yu Han’s arrangement and insisted, “After signing the contract, I’ll sleep in the studio if 1 can.”

Bai Chao thought that as an employee of the company, it was understandable for him to sleep in the studio. If he could not sleep in the studio, he could only lower his pride and ask if any friends were willing to help take him in.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Yu Han could only give up on throwing money at him. She thought for a moment and remembered that there were a few sets of comfortable long sofas in the coffee shop. He should be able to sleep more comfortably if he assembled them together. Moreover, the toilet was well renovated. It could basically satisfy his needs for a sanitary bath, so she agreed.

“Then contact Lang Yu and ask him to bring you to the studio we rented.”

Bai Chao agreed happily, but he did not forget to emphasize, “We have to sign the contract first.”

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well in the studio.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll get Sister Meng to prepare the contract for you later and let you sign it as soon as possible.”

When Yuan Fei and Su Long heard this, they hurriedly said, “What about us?”

He Meng had just returned from taking a call. When she heard their conversation, she said, “The two of you still have a contract. It’s not that easy to sign the contract soon.”

Yuan Fei had signed a contract with Starlight Entertainment, and their studio was under Starlight Entertainment. Hence, it was not difficult to transfer the contract over with the support of CEO Chen Hai. It was not so easy for Su Long. He had to terminate his contract with the original company before he could sign the contract with them.

Su Long pursed his lips. “I’ve already proposed to terminate my contract with the company in the last two weeks. We’re still negotiating.”

Although it was called a negotiation, it was actually a wrangling. Although the new CEO of their company ignored small fries like them and did not have any resources for them, he held on tightly to their contract and refused to let go easily.

Hence, after knowing that Su Long had proposed to terminate the contract, the CEO demanded an exorbitant price of nearly two million yuan.

Su Long would definitely not agree. In the past few years since he signed with the company, he had been dealing with various production teams day and night. Even if he was only acting as a utility man, he had done so much work. The money he had received added up to less than 500,000 yuan and most of it was used to pay for his Grandma’s medical fees.

Now, the company actually said that the penalty for breach of contract was two million yuan. How could Su Long afford it? He did not even have 50,000 yuan in his account.

The management company’s attitude was very straightforward. They were the kind of people who would get as much as they could. One was greedy, and the other was unwilling to pay. Hence, the termination of the contract was in a stalemate.

After He Meng heard about his termination of the contract, she shook her head and sighed. “That’s why I said that you can’t sign a contract casually. Otherwise, you won’t be able to earn money and will even get yourself in trouble.”

The original management company’s plan was very simple. Many of the artists they signed with were like Su Long. They had worked in the company for so many years that the company had long earned back the cost.

Just like Su Long, there was no need to spend resources on them. The company could still split more than half of the money Su Long earned. Even if he ruined it and did not earn money, the company would not lose anything.

If Su Long could not take it and wanted to terminate the contract and leave, the company could still earn a sum of compensation for the breach of contract.

According to the law, the high compensation for the breach of contract was naturally unreasonable. However, the company deliberately asked for it because they saw that Su Long did not have the ability to terminate the contract. Anyway, they could squeeze benefits out of Su. This was the face of a capitalist.

However, this kind of thing was actually common in the entertainment industry, especially for some small-scale management companies. They liked to cheat newcomers of their contracts the most.

“You don’t have to argue with the company about terminating the contract. Just sue them directly. We’ll help you settle the lawyer and lawsuit fees. You can take on some jobs during this period, but you still have to split the profits with the management company. You definitely can’t take on private jobs. Otherwise, the management company will use this reason to attack you. At that time, it won’t be so easy to negotiate on the penalty.”

He Meng advised him, “Of course, you can take this time to further your studies and rest.”

The “happy ending” would be that the management company and Su Long reconcile in private. However, looking at the company’s shameless faces, it probably wouldn’t be so easy..
