100: Chapter 10 Contract Termination
Xiao Qi took the soy milk somewhat awkwardly and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Then he said apologetically, "Teacher Chen, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you guys last night."
"You're welcome. Eat first, and we'll talk after you finish."
"Alright, okay."
Xiao Qi was happy, although he didn't yet know exactly why Chen Shaoping and the others were looking for him.
But he had a hunch that it must be something good.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to the bar specifically to find him.
He just wasn't sure how they knew he was at the bar.
After taking a few bites of the bun, he naturally took a sip of the soy milk.
Wang Bo subconsciously moved a bit further away from Xiao Qi, fearing he would get caught in the crossfire if Xiao Qi spat it out.
But there was no reaction for a long while.
"Xiao Qi, you're used to the taste of Kyoto soy milk?"
"I'm used to it, why?"
Wang Bo was dazed. "If you're used to it, then drink it all."
He gave the remaining cup of soy milk to Xiao Qi as well.
Chen Shaoping had originally thought he had bought quite a lot.
He hadn't at all estimated the appetite of four young men.
They even scrambled for the last bun.
After eating, Chen Shaoping washed his hands and spoke while drying them.
"Xiao Qi, are you interested in joining our company?"
"Tongxing Entertainment?"
"Yes."
Xiao Qi naturally wanted to, but he didn't know where he would get the 300,000 yuan for the contract termination fee.
"I do!"
"But Teacher Chen, I still have a three-year contract with my current company, and I simply can't afford the 300,000 yuan termination fee."
Chen Shaoping thought for a moment. "Two options: first, the company lends you the money, and you pay the termination fee yourself."
"Second, the company pays the termination fee for you."
"But for both options, the terms of your contract might change slightly."
Xiao Qi didn't hesitate and blurted out, his tone serious and firm.
"Teacher Chen, I hope the company can lend me the money. I want to sever all ties with my past myself."
Chen Shaoping nodded.
"Alright, then let's head to your company immediately to complete the termination."
"Then we'll fly to Yangcheng."
"I'll arrange to transfer the money to you right away."
On the other side.
Yangcheng, Tongxing Entertainment Company.
After Wu Xiaoli hung up the phone, she hurried into Li Qian's office.
"CEO Li."
"The prize money President Chen and the others won last night has arrived."
"Also, President Chen just called me and asked me to transfer 300,000 yuan to a private account."
"I'm not sure..."
Li Qian put down the documents in her hand, her expression somewhat serious.
"Xiao Wu, remember one thing."
"In this company, you do whatever President Chen says."
"If I feel something is wrong, I will ask him myself."
"For instance, in a situation like just now, you only come to me to raise funds when there's no money in the company's account."
"If there's money in the account, just transfer it and let me know afterward."
"You don't need to ask for my opinion."
Wu Xiaoli had been there for a while, but she had never seen Li Qian so serious.
"Okay, CEO Li."
"I'll head out now."
"Go ahead."
Looking at Wu Xiaoli's departing back.
Li Qian secretly decided that when Chen Shaoping returned, she must make him stay at the company more often.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the employees only recognized her authority.
...
When Chen Shaoping and the other three arrived at the entrance of Xiao Qi's company.
There was already an extra 300,000 yuan in his card.
"Do you want us to go in with you?" Chen Shaoping asked.
"No need, Teacher Chen. Please wait for me for a moment."
Xiao Qi puffed out his chest, full of confidence, and strode into the company with his head held high.
He burst straight into the general manager's office.
"Hou, I'm here to terminate my contract."
Hou Liang was startled by the shout and shoved the secretary in his arms away.
He completely forgot the English he had just been studying.
After seeing clearly that it was Xiao Qi, he flew into a rage.
"Get out! Terminate the contract? Do you have the money?"
"You're just a broke loser. If you had money, your girlfriend wouldn't have ended up in my bed."
Xiao Qi's anger was instantly ignited, and he rushed forward to hit Hou Liang.
"Come on! If you dare touch me, I'll change my last name if I don't send you to the police station this time."
Xiao Qi's fist stopped just one centimeter away from the bridge of Hou Liang's nose.
He calmed down a bit, constantly warning himself in his heart.
It wasn't worth gambling his future for such a woman.
"Hou, I didn't come here to fight you today."
"I brought the money. I'm here to terminate the contract."
Seeing Xiao Qi back down, Hou Liang also breathed a secret sigh of relief.
The injuries from the last beating hadn't fully healed yet. If he got beaten again, he, as a manager, would lose a lot of face.
"Fine, as long as you have the money, everything is negotiable."
After the procedures were completed and the money was transferred.
Xiao Qi felt a weight lifted off his shoulders; he could finally escape this filthy company.
He gave a playful smile. "Hou, I can't deal with you right now, but someone can, right?"
"What do you think your wife would do if I sent her the video of you messing around with women?"
"Hehehe."
Hou Liang was shocked to hear this, and his heart trembled at the thought of his wife's stout and burly physique.
"Xiao Qi, you're joking with me, right? You didn't record any video at all, did you?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't have originally."
"But, I couldn't help it when an expert gave me some pointers."
"Just you wait."
After saying that, Xiao Qi turned and left the company without a shred of regret.
Hou Liang stood up from his seat and immediately chased after him.
He knocked the secretary, who had been standing next to him, into a stumble.
He chased out the door, but Xiao Qi was nowhere to be seen.
He could only shout loudly toward the ground floor.
"Xiao Qi, you wanted to leave and I didn't make it difficult for you. We should part on good terms, so don't screw me over!"
Xiao Qi didn't care about any of that and sent the video directly to Hou Liang's wife.
Thinking of that two-hundred-pound woman, Xiao Qi even broke into a cold sweat for Hou Liang.
At the same time, he admired Chen Shaoping immensely; it was Chen who had reminded him to record the video.
When Chen Shaoping and the other three arrived at Baiyun Airport, it was already past seven o'clock.
He hurriedly turned on his phone.
The "ding ding ding!" notification sound for messages rang incessantly.
"You dont frame me, Ill frame you" had sent him over a dozen messages.
Besides the evidence of Xu Kun's tax evasion, he was also asking Chen Shaoping for the video.
"Holy crap! The phone number you asked me to hack belongs to Xu Kun."
"I used to quite like him. I didn't expect him to play around so much."
"Be honest, do you have the follow-up video of him from last night?"
"As long as you send me the video, I don't want the money anymore."
"And I'll promise to help you for free one more time."
Looking at these messages, Chen Shaoping had some guesses in his mind.
"You dont frame me, Ill frame you" was a young man, possibly under twenty.
That would make him a student.
Why was a student asking for videos? Students should be studying hard.
He replied decisively.
"I don't have any videos."
"Was the last video not enough for you?"
"Students should study hard. Watching these kinds of videos every day easily leads to trouble."
Inside a certain villa.
A man wearing headphones, biting a lollipop and looking like a porcelain doll, stared at the message on his phone.
He uttered a "Holy crap!"
"Shao Ping, you bastard! You have no ethics, you're calling me out?"
