Chapter 4: Chapter 004

An hour later, there was a knock on Xi Jin's office door.

"Please come in."

Zhao Xusheng outside the door was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

Obviously, he came running.

"Mr. Xi, what are you..."

Zhao Xusheng held several pieces of A4 paper in his hand and entered the office out of breath. His slicked back hair was no longer handsome.

"Mr. Zhao, please take a seat." Xi Jin turned the chair slightly, maintaining his usual elegance.

Zhao Xusheng was so tired that he naturally walked to the sofa and sat down.

As soon as his butt touched the sofa, he immediately bounced up again, as if he had been electrocuted.

Sit down!The company is almost gone.

Zhao Xusheng asked: "Mr. Xi, didn't we have a good talk the day before yesterday? Why are you canceling the cooperation after only one day?"

Xi Jin said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, I decided to cancel the cooperation with Zhao last night, and I specifically asked your son to go back and inform you. Didn't he tell you?"

"What?" Zhao Xusheng was a little confused, "Qinglin didn't tell me anything!"

Xi Jin chuckled and said nothing.

"Let's not talk about him for now," Zhao Xusheng got down to business, "Mr. Xi, you want to cancel the cooperation with Zhao. What is the reason?"

Xi Jin's eyes were deep, "Mr. Zhao, I think you should go back and ask your son about this question, and he should give you a more satisfactory answer."

Zhao Xusheng was as quiet as a chicken immediately.

While having breakfast this morning, Zhao Qinglin put on an innocent face and put a piece of meat into his bowl for the first time.

At that moment, with tears in his eyes, he sighed sincerely, this Qinglin has finally grown up and knows how to be filial.

Oh shit!

Zhao Qinglin, this bitch, caused him trouble everywhere. He hadn't been beaten in three days.

Zhao Xusheng endured the anger in his heart and said, "Mr. Xi, if Qinglin offended you somewhere, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back. But, can we discuss this cooperation again?"

"Oh?" Xi Jin averted his eyes. This was the reason why he broke the contract. "I wonder how Mr. Zhao plans to teach you a lesson?"

Zhao Xusheng: "?"

How to teach a lesson?Just take off your pants and give him a good beating!

He has always believed that "filial sons emerge from under the stick".

He asked tentatively: "A beating... a beating?"

Xi Jin didn't have much expression on his face.

Zhao Xusheng guessed that Mr. Xi was not satisfied with this lesson.

He made the punishment worse: "Then, two beatings?"

Xi Jin raised his eyelids and his patience was almost gone: "Mr. Zhao, if you still can't show your sincerity, then the matter of cooperation-"

"Take it, take it," Zhao Xusheng panicked, "If you are sincere, don't worry, Mr. Xi. When I go back to find that brat to ask about the situation, I will definitely give Mr. Xi a satisfactory answer."

Xi Jin finally relented: "Then I'll wait for Mr. Zhao's reply."

Zhao Xusheng nodded repeatedly, fearing that Xi Jin would regret it: "Okay, okay, I'll go back first."

With that said, he ran out in a flash.
-
Here, Wen Yunran was unemployed, and her whole body was sore from the lingering relationship the night before, so she slept until she woke up naturally.

As soon as she woke up, Shen Huaxin called.

The tone was quite anxious: "Yunran, please come to the set quickly."

"Which studio?"

Shen Huaxin: "Of course it's the studio where Director Zeng shoots the commercial."

Wen Yunran looked at his nail polish and said slowly, "Am I not fired?"

"Yunran, it's a long story..."

Shen Huaxin told Wen Yunran the general story of the matter.

After hearing what happened, Wen Yunran was speechless: "This old guy Zeng Dazhuang dared to say that I was hit by a car and died!"

Shen Huaxin said: "Mr. Feng and the others just went to Xi's to report. It seems that Mr. Xi personally gave the order, saying that the heroine cannot be changed, otherwise Mr. Feng will compensate for breach of contract."

Wen Yunran wanted to laugh: "Didn't they say that I was hit and killed? Now they want me to continue filming commercials. How are they going to explain to Xi?"

She thought for a while: "Could it be that I faked the corpse?"

"I don't know about this." Shen Huaxin didn't ask, "Yun Ran, are you coming? They seem to be in a hurry."

Wen Yunran said without hesitation: "Are you still asking? I definitely won't go."

Shen Huaxin was actually a little confused: "Didn't you always want to shoot this commercial before? You were even willing to reduce your salary by [-]% to get this commercial."

Wen Yunran said: "Before, others took the initiative and we were passive. I definitely have to lower my profile. Now the situation is different."

She said with a confident tone: "Sister Xin, haven't you been complaining that I haven't made any money for you?"

Shen Huaxin: "Huh?"

Just, the topic jumped a bit and I couldn’t pick it up at the moment.

"Isn't that right? Think about it, how much mess I have cleaned up for you?" Shen Hua told the truth.

She probably worried more about Wen Yunran than her mother did.

Wen Yunran was unceremonious: "Sister Xin, if you reply to them, you want me to go back and continue filming. I want to increase the salary ten times. I will only take the previous amount. The rest will be earned for you."

Shen Huaxin couldn't believe her ears: "My little ancestor, you really dare to speak like a lion."

Wen Yunran didn't take it seriously, "I was originally an obedient little sheep, but they forced me to become a lion. Of course I have to cherish this opportunity to take advantage of them."

Shen Huaxin really disagreed: "My little ancestor, you have never been an obedient little sheep."
-
The door to Mr. Feng’s office.

Shen Huaxin made the request according to Wen Yunran's wishes.

"What?" Mr. Feng banged the table and got angry, "Ten times? Are you crazy about money?"

Zeng Dazhuang echoed from the side: "Bah, she is only an eighteenth-tier actress, but she dares to raise the salary of a first-tier actor?" Shen Hua listened lazily to the nonsense and directly resorted to provocation, "Mr. Feng, Director Zeng, where is our Yun Ran? This is it." Request, if Mr. Feng doesn’t agree, then it’s time to take a long vacation.”

After a pause, she added: "Oh, by the way, I just bought her a ticket to Antarctica last night."

Mr. Feng and Zeng Dazhuang remained silent.

Shen Huaxin is also a smart man and is accustomed to adapting to the situation: "Since Mr. Feng and Director Zeng think that we are not qualified to receive this salary, then we will not condescend. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Mr. Feng stood up to persuade him to stay, "Mr. Shen, wait a minute."

Oh, even Mr. Shen has been called.

There seems to be a play.

"Mr. Feng, tell me." A certain agent who had just been promoted to "Mr. Shen" actually felt a little guilty.

Mr. Feng calmed him down first: "Let me discuss this matter with Director Zeng and I will give you an answer later, okay?"

Shen Huaxin nodded: "Okay."

Zeng Dazhuang was dragged into the office by Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng opened the calculator on his mobile phone and typed for a while.

"Director Zeng, I just did the math. According to Shen Hua's terms, we need to pay Wen Yunran a salary of 500 million. But if we want to compensate Xi's liquidated damages, we have to pay 3000 million."

"So?" Zeng Dazhuang was very unhappy, "You plan to give that little hoof 500 million? Are you just talking to me about this matter?"

Mr. Feng shook his head: "I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm here to inform you that I have decided to give Wen Yunran 500 million, but -"

Zeng Dazhuang listened carefully.

Mr. Feng continued: "This 500 million must be deducted from your salary."

Zeng Dazhuang's eyes nearly popped out: "Why!"

Mr. Feng is a businessman, and of course he cannot do business at a loss. Even though he and Zeng Dazhuang are old friends for many years, they still have to settle accounts clearly in the face of interests.

He said very firmly: "Who asked you to touch Wen Yunran, and that led to the current situation. You must bear all responsibilities."

Zeng Dazhuang was furious: "Damn it, I won't shoot anymore!"

Mr. Feng knew it right: "According to our contract, if Director Zeng does not cooperate with the filming, he will have to pay 600 million in compensation."

Zeng Dazhuang was furious and yelled angrily for a long time, and finally had no choice but to agree.

500 million vs 600 million, Zeng Dazhuang is not a fool.

"I go first."

Zeng Dazhuang's face and tone were very bad, so he got up and opened the door.

"Where are you going?" After all, they are old friends, and Mr. Feng still showed symbolic concern.

Zeng Dazhuang turned around coaxingly: "Go and buy Suxiao Jiuxin Pills."

Mr. Feng thought for a while and gave what he thought was a very reasonable suggestion in view of Zeng Dazhuang's impulsive and brainless temperament:
"Buy a few more bottles and have them ready."

"Boom!" The door was slammed fiercely.

After leaving the office, Mr. Feng used his fake smile of Lisa Feng and said to Shen Huaxin: "Sister Xin, I agree to the request you just made."

"Mr. Feng is such a cheerful person, yes, then I'll ask our Yun Ran to come over."

Shen Huaxin was a little guilty at first, but he didn't expect that the man named Feng agreed without putting any pressure on the price.

Now, it's time for Yun Ran's status to be promoted.

I sighed in my heart, fortunately I had not given up on Wen Yunran all these years, otherwise I would have missed such a high-quality seedling.

Wen Yunran received a call from Shen Huaxin. Shen Huaxin said that the other party agreed to her request and the first additional payment for the film had been received.

She couldn't help but sigh, with her back against the big tree, she could really cheat all the way.

She simply packed up and prepared to go out.

The reason why Wen Yunran was willing to reduce his salary to accept this advertisement was of course selfish.

Because she knew that this advertisement was a promotional video for Xi's.

She wanted to use this advertisement to meet Xi Jin by chance.

But the commercial was almost finished filming, and she didn't even see Xi Jin's shadow.

As I said before, she has a bad temper.

Therefore, she has not been in a good mood these past few days.

Zeng Dazhuang happened to mess with her at this time, so of course she followed her own wishes.

What she was thinking at the time was: Damn, my body is reserved for Xi Jin, he has never touched me, you old pervert still want to touch me?
So, he kicked him over without politeness.

An hour later, Wen Yunran came to the set.

The scene is ready, waiting for the heroine to enter.

Seeing Wen Yunran arriving, director assistant Liu Lun quickly came over to receive him.

"Teacher Wen, you are here."

Teacher Wen?

Didn't you always call her "Hey", "Hey" and "Who is that" before?
Dogs are very good at judging situations.

Wen Yunran responded lightly.

"Teacher Wen, this is the coffee specially ordered for you." Liu Lun handed over a cup of coffee.

Wen Yunran stretched out her hand, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, revealing a pair of sweet dimples. She took the coffee and tried her best to maintain her well-behaved persona: "Thank you."

The moment she withdrew her hand, her fingertips accidentally touched the back of Liu Lun's hand.

"You're welcome." Liu Lun also smiled politely, but the expression on his face gradually darkened, "Teacher Wen, the scene is almost ready. You can go ahead and put on your makeup."

"it is good."

Wen Yunran was taken to the dressing room.
