Chapter 37 Predicted Her Prediction

Lu Huai also did not sleep last night. As soon as he closed his eyes while lying on the bed, the scene of the coronation ceremony appeared in his mind.

Jiang Sier was wearing a dragon robe and sitting above thousands of people. One second ago, she was still looking at him provocatively and playfully, ignoring the others, with her red lips slightly curled, which was particularly eye-catching. And the next second, she fell down suddenly under his gaze without any warning.

Even if she didn't come back, she would still have a brilliant life.

She should have lived a bright life and become the greatest empress in history.

And he should have used his identity as the "Queen" to cover up, followed her side, fought for her, helped her pacify the world and solve internal and external troubles, and helped her sit firmly on the throne...

Jiang Si'er didn't notice the way the man opposite her looked at her. Her attention was all on what he had just said.

contract?

Signed???
"Really?" Jiang Si'er's eyes widened in disbelief. "Don't you have any other conditions? Or any changes you want to make?"

"No." Lu Huai also pressed the intercom and asked his assistant to bring the contract from his office upstairs.

Two minutes later, Jiang Sier was holding two contracts written in black and white and fell into deep thought.

This was indeed the contract that she and Lao Gao gave to Lu Huaiye that day.

There are two copies, both with Lu Huaiye's handwriting at the end.

"You just signed it?"

Why do you suddenly feel so refreshed?

Could it be that he really feels guilty?
Jiang Sier's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at him with a cautious look, "Actually... I didn't mean to threaten you with this. I just wanted to improve our relationship."

She thought Lu Huai would sign it, but she didn't expect him to give in because of this. She still had some tricks to throw a tantrum but she didn't have time to use them...

Lu Huai also nodded, "I understand."

"That's not why I signed you."

"Oh?" Jiang Sier raised his eyebrows. What do you mean?

"The conditions you offer are very tempting, but that's not what I want. I don't care about fame or fortune, and the olive branch thrown by Croissant is dispensable to me. But——"

Lu Huai paused for a moment, his dark pupils fixed on the person who was still daydreaming, and said firmly: "If you need someone to be the cornerstone under your feet, then I think I can do it."

"..."

Jiang Sier's brain was still working fast, silently calculating many possibilities. Until he blurted out this sentence, the gears that were still running suddenly got stuck, and some parts broke along with the tight strings in her brain, and scattered all over the floor.

"Then, then what were you holding before?" Why didn't you agree earlier.

"Because what I want is never for Croissant to recognize my commercial value. What I need is your recognition of me."

"..."

While Jiang Si'er was stunned, Lu Huai also put two cards on the table and pushed them to her side.

"This is what you gave me last time. I haven't touched the money in it."

"The one on the right includes my penalty for breach of contract this time. Croissant will have to step in to handle the termination of the contract. As for the rest, it's all my film remuneration for the past two years."

"Ah???" Jiang Si'er had a dazed look on his face, not understanding what this direction was for.

Logically speaking, shouldn't she be the one paying?
Who signs whom and who is the boss?
"Who did you vote for in the play "Drunken Chang'an"?"

"You." This is the truth.

Even if she didn't plan to invest so much at first, it was her suggestion.

Lu Huai also nodded, "I thought you would invest, but I didn't expect you to spend so much at once. I will cooperate with the promotion and business later, and I won't let you lose money. Before that, you take this money first, just in case of emergency."

Jiang Sier blinked, "Is this considered compensation?"

"That's fine if you want to understand it that way. With your pension in hand, you'll feel more at ease when you work, right?"

"It's more than just peace of mind! If I had money, I would just give up!"

Looking at the bank card on the table, Jiang Sier wanted to accept it but felt a little embarrassed. "You gave me all your film remuneration, so you don't have much liquid funds on hand?"

For some reason, she automatically imagined him being so poor that he could only eat boxed lunches on the set.

She looked at him with some sympathy, and Lu Huai roughly knew what she was thinking, so he explained: "I have not only been filming in the past two years, but also investing in some projects. These are just the smallest part of my income in the past two years."

He still understands the principle of making money with money.

Jiang Sier couldn't help but sigh, "Damn!"

She wants to fight with these rich people!!!

She didn't bother to be polite with him anymore. Since she had already taken it out, there was no reason to take it back.

But she didn't take it for free. She would treat it as a loan first, and wait until "Drunk in Chang'an" made a profit, then she would pay him back with interest.

"You are not short of money and your original company has no leverage over you. If you are being suppressed by your agent, why don't you fight back yourself?"

Jiang Sier borrowed a pen from him and asked while signing the contract.

"If I resist, what reason do you have to sign me?"

"..." Jiang Sier lowered his head and looked at the contract he had just signed.

Why do I feel like I've fallen into a pit?
If she eats the contract now, can she pretend nothing happened?
"No." Lu Huai seemed to know what she was thinking.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and the next second Jiang Sier pounced on it, and Lu Huai was also quick to take one of them from the table.

Jiang Sier: “…” Okay, okay, I predicted her prediction.

-

Lu Huaiye's contract termination was not as simple as he had imagined, but fortunately he had already prepared all the evidence.

Everything is ready, except Jiang Sier.

Croissant top floor meeting room.

Jiang Sier supported her head with one hand, listening to the others' analysis. She raised her hand to interrupt: "Old Gao called early in the morning. They asked for a huge price and don't want to let him go."

Lu Huai is also the living signboard of their company. They want to keep him more than money.

"How about I go and talk to them face to face?" Lao Gao suggested.

Jiang Sier shook his head. "My suggestion is to go straight to the legal process."

"Hiss, isn't it bad to make such a fuss? What did Teacher Lu say?"

"He said let me do whatever I want."

Lao Gao: “…” What kind of words are these?

"He's not in the wrong, so a lawsuit won't be a big deal for him. The formal contract between the two parties hasn't been signed yet, so let's not let Croissant get involved in this mess."

What she and Lu Huai signed was only a letter of intent, and no formal contract was signed. After all, his indenture was still in the hands of his old employer.

The pen spun around his fingertips, and Jiang Sier fell into deep thought while looking at Lu Huaiye's photo on the screen. "Find the best lawyer in the industry. If the problem can't be solved, I'll do it myself."

Talking against the Confucians!

The meeting ended and others left one after another.

Lao Gao gossiped in a low voice: "Mr. Jiang, did you go to the private hospital in the east of the city last night?"

"how do you know?"

"Queen Tan broke her leg while filming yesterday and is also in that hospital."

"Really? What a coincidence." Jiang Sier lowered his head and closed the computer.

"You're not going to..."

Jiang Sier: "What are you thinking about? I went to visit Director Shen."
