Chapter 12

In the office, Chu Chu browsed the hot searches in interest. The top three searches were “Li Taihe’s contract cancellation”, “Chenxing Film and Television Press” and “Please treat Li Taihe fairly”. She randomly clicked into the hot search and saw netizens insulting her. Obviously, fans had been complaining about the original owner for a long time.

In the original book, Li Taihe’s success was due to his own talent and hard work, but it was also inseparable from the resource blessing given to him by the original owner in the early stage. Otherwise, how could he be a clear stream in the chaotic entertainment circle? The original owner did have ulterior motives for the male lead, but the resources she provided were solid. Chenxing Film and Television couldn’t wait to hold Li Taihe alone and attract countless high-end endorsements.

The people who ate melons (onlookers) weren’t fools. They had already seen clues and often spread the rumors of Li Taihe and President Chu. This was something that Li Taihe fans couldn’t tolerate. They would pull their hair when they hear the unspoken rule theory. (Casting couch) Now that Li Taihe had publicly asked for the termination of the contract, the fans naturally beat the gongs and drums to support. They just begged their idol to get rid of Chu Chu immediately.

Chu Chu looked at the malicious remarks on the Internet and curiously asked, “Does Chenxing Film and Television really pressures people so much?”

She saw a few fan-made brainwashing evidence and she even believed it a little bit. The fan said it in a conspicuous, well-organized way. It was full of pictures and words.

Zhang Jianian felt that being a minister close to the princess was really something that ordinary people couldn’t do. President Chu was indistinctly happy. He had to explain, “President Chu, they are just unprovoked speculations by netizens. You don’t need to take it to heart.”

Chu Chu nodded. She really didn’t care. Anyway, it was the original owner who was guilty of being stupid and people weren’t bashing her.

President Chu wasn’t furious, but rather calm.

Zhang Jianian immediately struck the iron while it was hot and asked, “Then what do you think of Li Taihe’s contract cancellation?”

In the past few days, Chenxing Film and Television frequently asked about this matter and wanted to follow up with President Chu to do follow-up public relations matters. Li Taihe unilaterally proposed to terminate the contract, but President Chu didn’t respond. Everyone couldn’t figure out what President Chu was thinking, so naturally they didn’t dare to do anything to Li Taihe.

Chu Chu thought for a moment then asked, “Li Taihe’s contract hasn’t expired yet?”

Zhang Jianian replied, “Yes, he offered to pay liquidated damages…”

Chu Chufeng said lightly, “Then let him pay.”

Zhang Jianian tried hard to read President Chu’s expression.

Was she really going to make a cruel break or was it a deliberate step? He didn’t dare to risk rashly, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, “Then how much liquidated damage do you think is appropriate? Thirty million?”

Chu Chu said in amazement, “Li Taihe is only worth thirty million? He has to pay 100 million!”

Li Taihe was the leading actor in “The Fierce Wife of the Superstar” and he was a man who would become a superstar in the future. How could he be worth little money! Zhang Jianian was simply insulting Li Taihe’s male lead’s halo. As the male lead, how could he be worth 30 million?

Zhang Jianian was sure that President Chu was angry. How could Li Taihe be able to pay the sky-high liquidated damages? President Chu wanted to keep Li Taihe and didn’t want him to leave Chenxing Film and Television.

Zhang Jianian said, ” President Chu, there has never been such a high precedent for liquidated damages in the past. It’s very difficult for us to win the case…”

Chu Chu said calmly, “Oh, he and his fans have slandered me. Both the mental damage fee and reputation damage fee are included in it, is it enough?”

President Chu was wayward. Zhang Jianian said, “If you are sure it’s a slander, then of course there will be no problem.”

What he meant was that if Chu Chu did something and someone found evidence later, it would be a slap on the face.

In fact, Zhang Jianian didn’t want to interfere with his boss’s private life. It was just a matter of great importance and was closely related to the actions behind the Legal Department.

Chu Chu categorically said, “Of course it’s slander! I have never slept with him!”

Zhang Jianian: “…”

Chu Chu was very confident about that. How could the male lead of a romance novel really have physical contact with the villain? If there was such a male lead, he would be scolded by readers. She had a clear memory. The original novel portrayed the precious feelings of Li Taihe and Xia Xiaoxiao several times. It was the first time for both of them. In short, it was a mate for life.

Zhang Jianian was startled by President Chu’s outburst, but he still hesitated, “If you insist on doing this…”

Chu Chu couldn’t stand his grief and said directly, “If the Legal Department can’t handle this matter properly, they can basically be laid off. I have never heard of an artist who unilaterally terminates the contract and the company still can’t win the lawsuit.”

She had a billion dollars. Couldn’t she hire a good team of lawyers?

Seeing President Chu’s expression of displeasure, Zhang Jianian swallowed the words he was about to say. He had hoped that President Chu would stop her emotional outburst and reconcile with Li Taihe in two days. It made people like them embarrassed. Now that the boss had spoken, Zhang Jianian notified Chenxing Film and Television to agree to Li Taihe’s contract cancellation.

The other person heard the request, but couldn’t believe it, “Are you sure this is what President Chu said?”

Zhang Jianian relayed her words, “President Chu said that if she couldn’t win the lawsuit, the Legal Department will be laid off.”

The other person: “…” This unreasonable tone fits the boss.

Chu Chu laid on the luxurious swivel chair in the office, turned around boredly. She admired the tall buildings outside the French windows and savored the feeling of standing on top of power. She had already started planning to travel around the world.
