Chapter 11 Contract

On the other side, Rong Yuqiu is in a good mood. She hadn't had a full night's sleep for a long time. The long-awaited good sleep was enough to make her happy for the whole day. She looked at the files that were sorted on the table and began to process them in order. She casually tied up her long hair with a leather band, and a few curly strands fell from her ears.

She wore gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes were calm and rational, she read the documents at a glance, and the black gold-rimmed pen in her hand smoothly allowed her to sign her name one after another. Until the company's new variety show project report was placed in front of her, "I have never seen how people shoot a variety show." Rong Yuqiu curiously flipped through the report night after night.

Until she saw the photo of Ji Qiuxue holding little Xuebao. Ji Qiuxue was wearing a black skirt and a round straw hat, and little Xuebao was also wearing the same small round hat. She stared at the two people in the photo, smiling so happily. Ji Qiuxue exuded maternal tenderness, and her eyes were full of love for little Xuebao. Xiao Xuebao has a fair face, long eyelashes and big eyes. It's so bright, with a small straw hat on her head and her eyes curved as she smiled happily.

She looked at the page of Ji Qiuxue and Xiao Xuebao for a long time before slowly turning over them. This new variety show has a different format and is filmed in the style of a slow variety show. The artists' families are sent to live in the mountains, where they can experience life in the mountains while making a living with their children. When the artists arrive in the mountains, they have to rely on their own hands to feed their children.

When the several artists who had been selected previously heard that they could withdraw, they all voluntarily withdrew. All the artists sent here this time are new artists, and they all come from families of artists with good reputations. There are both male and female omegas/betas, and there are five families in total. But everyone else went with their family, but Ji Qiuxue went alone with her child.

Ji Qiuxue filmed a public welfare short film with Su Zimo's company. She wore sunglasses so no one could see her sadness. Su Zimo only found out last night that the unfaithful female alpha she had always thought of was actually their new boss. Su Zimo was shocked. No wonder she couldn't find the person. Everything was according to her sister's description. The female alpha was poor and down-and-out, and could only draw. Apart from a name, there was no other information about her. No wonder she couldn't find her. It would be strange if she found someone, okay? Apart from the one with the same name, the rest of the things don't match.

Su Zimo was also quite curious before. With Rong Yuqiu's appearance, it shouldn't be impossible for her to find someone. Only now did she realize that she hadn't returned to China for four years. In the past, she had been hidden very well by the Rong family and never appeared in the outside world. No wonder her group of friends couldn't find her. This must be because of the good protection given by the family.

Su Zimo felt a little jealous. It seemed that she couldn't teach a lesson to such an unfaithful female alpha with a rich and powerful family. It's just a pity for her sister and Xiao Xuebao. I really hate these rich people. Why do they go out for no reason?

Ji Qiuxue is communicating with the director. This time she is going to shoot a public welfare short film "Mom's Waiting", which is led by the government and she will star in it for free. In the film, she plays a mother who lost her child. She lost her daughter at a train station. She searched the whole world for her daughter but could not find her lost daughter.

Her family was broken up, her lover was gone, and she went from being a decent person to someone standing at the train station waiting for her child to come home. Ji Qiuxue poured out all her love for little Xuebao. Rong Yuqiu stood in the audience and watched her burst into tears in the studio. Her hoarse cry moved everyone present.

"President Rong, why are you here?" The assistant director saw Rong Yuqiu coming and hurried over to say hello. Rong Yuqiu nodded at her and said, "I came to take a look. The filming is very good and the actors' professional abilities are very strong."

Rong Yuqiu watched Ji Qiuxue, who's crying at the top of her lungs and returned to the train station with disheveled hair and a dirty face. Her child was lost here, so she was waiting for her to come back here.

Her figure gradually grew from young to old. She would occasionally pick up trash at the train station, or squat in a corner and stare at passengers getting off the train. Until one day, the train station moved away, but she was still alone in the train station, hunched over, sweeping the floor in the empty train with a broom. The short film ends here. It is said that there is another scene where the mother and daughter reunite in a dream. This short film is a free public welfare short film adapted from a real story.

At the end of the short film, there is a narration talking about how many children go missing every year, how many families are broken up, and how many children are found every year. Rong Yuqiu looked at the narration on the director's machine. When she heard children being found mentioned, she subconsciously touched her pocket. She remembered that there's something very important in her pocket.

Rong Yuqiu touched it several times before she remembered that she had put away the clothes today. She quickly picked up the phone and called her family. "Aunt Li, have you washed my clothes?" Rong Yuqiu asked her anxiously. "Yes." Aunt Li was hanging clothes to dry.

"Then have you seen what's in my clothes?" Rong Yuqiu asked her impatiently.

Aunt Li told her calmly, "Things? There's nothing. Xiaoqiu, your suit has no pockets."

"Is that so?" Rong Yuqiu touched the pocket of her suit. She clearly remembered that she put something in the pocket, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Ji Qiuxue found out about Rong Yuqiu coming only after she finished shooting the commercial. She closed her eyes and asked the makeup artist to remove the makeup on her face and put on a clean new look. She also had to shoot two more shots.

"Are you going to say hello to President Rong later?" Su Zimo looked at her cautiously, afraid of touching upon her sister's sad memories.

"I still have to make up a few shots later. President Rong is so busy, I won't disturb her." Ji Qiuxue said in a steady voice.

Su Zimo nodded, and she laughed dryly and said, "That's right, you are all very busy, hahahaha."

She thought about Su Zimo's contract issue, looked at her sister who's closing her eyes waiting to put on makeup, gritted her teeth, and decided to go and ask what was going on herself. She kept her sister's words in mind and did not show any strangeness in front of Rong Yuqiu. She just wanted to talk to her about her sister's future development.

"This shouldn't be the case. I remember putting something in my pocket." Rong Yuqiu frowned and kept wondering how the thing disappeared.

Su Zimo walked up to Rong Yuqiu in high heels and an urban beauty-style skirt. She put her hands in front of her and forced a smile with her eight teeth showing.

Rong Yuqiu was about to leave when a woman suddenly appeared in front of her with a frown, "Is there something wrong?"

Su Zimo looked at Rong Yuqiu's dignified and elegant appearance, and it's impossible to tell that this was the little painter who used to like to eat skewers and hot pot.

"I'm Ji Qiuxue's agent. I have something I want to discuss with you, President Rong." Su Zimo wasn't quite sure what Rong Yuqiu's temper was like right now, but she still called her President Rong politely.

"Then come with me to the office. I have something to talk to you about." Rong Yuqiu walked out first and called Su Zimo to follow.

When they arrived at the office, Rong Yuqiu asked Su Zimo to sit down, and the assistant outside the door quickly brought in two cups of coffee.

"The company has been without a person in charge before, so we neglected Ms. Ji Qiuxue."

Rong Yuqiu was very sincere. Originally, the company should have taken the lead in communicating with the other party regarding the contract. The contract is about to expire, and Ji Qiuxue has not been able to communicate with the company. This is the management's dereliction of duty.

Su Zimo also heard that Fu Ziyu had been transferred away, which was considered an explanation to them.

"You can tell us what Ms. Ji thinks and we can have a chat." Rong Yuqiu and Su Zimo sat on the balcony facing the small garden on the other side and chatted together. Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Su Zimo told her all her ideas. Ji Qiuxue had not been able to open a studio on her own before, but now they wanted to open a studio. It can be linked to Genting Entertainment Company, but it is no longer under the control of the company.

From what Rong Yuqiu said, she felt that Ji Qiuxue probably wanted to be independent, and Su Zimo said this just because she didn't want to fall out with the company. Rong Yuqiu took the drink slowly, her eyes looking at the vast sky. After Su Zimo finished speaking, she said, "You know that Ms. Ji was promoted by the company three years ago. If she leaves like this, do you think the company will let her go?"

Rong Yuqiu turned and looked at Su Zimo with a smile. The indifference from her left, leaving behind the aura of a big boss that Su Zimo was used to seeing. Su Zimo wanted to say more, but Rong Yuqiu raised her hand to stop her, "As far as I know, Ms. Ji signed a two-part contract. You know what a two-part contract is better than me. One is a signing contract on the surface, and the other is a control contract in private. There are still five years before her next contract ends. Ms. Ji wants to leave, and I won't stop her, but the penalty is 1 billion. I think you already knew this number when you signed the contract, didn't you?" Rong Yuqiu gently put down her coffee and looked at Su Zimo calmly, which made her body tense.

"The contract is for a total of ten years. Because Ms. Ji is pregnant, the company deliberately reduced it by one year, so there are five years left." Every word that Rong Yuqiu said made Su Zimo angry.

Whose child is her sister's? She felt so angry. How could this unfaithful female alpha be so cruel? Every word she said is a threat. Why didn't God have eyes to see and kill this female alpha?

Su Zimo's eyes were about to burst with anger, and she almost forgot what her sister had told her. When she was about to curse, she heard Rong Yuqiu say calmly: "It's not like we haven't discussed this matter before. Sit down. Aren't you tired of standing?" Rong Yuqiu asked the furious Su Zimo to sit down. Su Zimo realized that she was so angry that she didn't even realize she stood up.

She took a deep breath and used her professional approach as a gold medal agent to negotiate terms with Rong Yuqiu, and her anger just now quickly disappeared. "The two contracts we signed clearly stipulated that Ji Qiuxue would be given fair and reasonable treatment as an S-level artist, but in the past year, she hasn't enjoyed any of it at all." Su Zimo pointed out all the injustices that Ji Qiuxue had suffered.

Rong Yuqiu heard that what she said was basically the same as what was written in the information. Except for some places where Ji Qiuxue's grievances were exaggerated, it's all basically true.

"I can let Ms. Ji set up a studio, but it must be affiliated with the company, and the contract can be changed from five years to three years." Rong Yuqiu leaned upright in the chair without even a slump in her shoulders.

Su Zimo wanted to talk about it further, and it would be best to keep the contract for one year and then terminate it. At this time Rong Yuqiu said again: "You know, I just took office as president. If Ms. Ji, the S-level artist, leaves, the outside world will only say that I forced her away. What's more, the people who make things difficult for Ms. Ji have been transferred from the core management. I will not keep such people who behave improperly and harm the interests of the company for their own personal gain."

Su Zimo understood that Rong Yuqiu would not change the conditions she proposed, but they could negotiate some minor conditions. For example, in terms of profit sharing, after the contract renewal, Ji Qiuxue's pay for filming movies, commercials and variety shows will no longer be 4:6, but 3:7, which can be regarded as an apology to Ji Qiuxue.

After the two of them had agreed on most of the terms, Su Zimo said she would go back and discuss it with Ji Qiuxue, and if she agreed, they would go ahead and sign the contract.
