Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant

Zhang Xiaohua slightly leaned over and opened one of the briefcases. A red tinge was immediately presented to him. There was about one million in this case.

Yuan Datong and Emma opened two briefcases respectively.

Xiaohai and co opened the remaining briefcases, and then counted, the results were a match, it added up to 15 million. They were dazzled, as if what was presented in front of them wasn't money, but the legendary cultivation ginseng.

"Wow, you actually brought it in cash, it seems New Century is shadier than I thought, are you some sort of drug cartel?" Zhang Xiaohua found it funny in his heart, but since the other party fulfilled the agreement and gave him the compensation, he had no reason not to let go. The cancellation agreement was given to the other party.

After receiving the agreement back signed, Mr. Wu reconfirmed his attitude. In his capacity as a representative lawyer of New Century Entertainment, he solemnly warned Zhang Xiaohua: "Miss Wang Jingwen is now an entertainer of New Century Entertainment Company so from now on, you don't have the right to interfere with anything related to Miss Wang Jingwen. If you violate the agreement, I can sue your company at any time on behalf of Miss Wang Jingwen. Hopefully I only need to say these things today for you to understand and remember."

Zhang Xiaohua licked his lips and smiled: "No problem, as long as your Wang Jingwen does not infringe on our rights and interests, everything will be okay. However, if Wang Jingwen infringes our company's rights, even if you don't want to go to court, we won't take it easy."

"What do you mean by this? I have already said that Miss Wang Jingwen and your company have waived the contract. How would Miss Wang Jingwen infringe on your rights and interests?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "I'm not wrong. I meant what I said. Since Wang Jingwen and our company have parted ways, we have the right to recover all her songs. This includes all the album songs we released for her plus the recent thirteen songs we produced for her, I'm just warning you that she should never attempt to sing them in public in the future, let alone for commercial purposes, otherwise we will sue her for infringement."

Wu lawyer hearing this, actually smiled: "You sure you didn't make a mistakes? Although Ms. Wang Jingwen and your company agreed to a contract, but in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the contract signed by both parties before you have a certain legal efficiency. The contract is written in black and white and clearly states, within five years, Miss Wang Jingwen will obtain the rights to perform those songs, that is to say, no one can interfere with Wang Jingwen's commercial use of her own songs. If you don't believe me, you can consult with other lawyers and see if I'm right."

Lawyer Wu proudly laughed, drilling legal loopholes was the strength of all lawyers. He was naturally no exception. According to the provisions of Contract Law, even if both parties cancel the contract, as long as the disclosing party gave a certain amount of compensation to the dismissed party in a timely manner, part of the agreement in the contract would still take effect. Even if it was in court, he was sure they could obtain certain victory and Wang Jingwen would win the right to perform all the songs under the contract.

"The law is greater than heaven, how can I not believe it? Since Lawyer Wu likes to work in accordance with the law, then I will cooperate with you." Said Zhang Xiaohua, looking to Yuan Datong, he told him: "Go get a copy of Wang Jingwen's contract book. Come over and let Mr. Wu have a look."

Yuan Datong went to the safe and took out a copy of the contract, he came back and handed it over to Mr. Wu.

"Mr. Wu please turn to the last page, take a serious look at the fourth agreement." Zhang Xiaohua revealing a smile.

Lawyer Wu followed the line, taking a closer look, his face changed instantly. The content of the contract was as follows:

The effective start date of this contract is on April 5, 2020 and is valid for FIVE(5) years, terminating on April 5, 2025. During this period, Party B (Wang Jingwen) will obtain the rights to perform the work "Broken Hearted Woman". Both parties may retain the right to investigate and punish any breaches within the contract.

After reading the contents of this agreement, Lawyer Wu face burst with a panicked expression, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he spoke incredibly: "This… how could this be? Miss Wang Jingwen didn't… tell me!"

"She certainly wouldn't tell you the truth. She's not a fool. Actually, New Century probably only choose her for her songs, not her as a singer. Otherwise, two years ago, she wouldn't have been released by you, now she finally has her chance to return to New Century. You think she'll be stupid enough to tell you that? In fact, she only has the right to perform the song "Broken Hearted Woman".

Indeed, just as Zhang Xiaohua said, Wang Jingwen actually lied to Lawyer Wu because she knew that clearer than anyone else. New Century only wanted the classic songs she sang, not her. In order to return to New Century as soon as possible, Wang Jingwen lied saying that she owned all the song singing rights provided by HuaXiang Entertainment.

In addition, because Wang Jingwen was so eager to obtain the right to sing the song "Broken Hearted Woman" at the time, she was forced to sign the contract. Afterwards, she didn't even bother to ask Zhang Xiaohua to give her a copy of the contract. Therefore, in order to understand the situation in the contract, they could only believe her words. She had interpreted the contract from her memory as:

"If New Century compensated HuaXiang in her place. The contractual agreement would allow her to continue to hold HuaXiang's rights to perform all the songs produced by them for her."

However, he did not expect that after coming all the way here, he would find the contract only indicated that Wang Jingwen would receive the rights to perform "Broken Hearted Woman" and the right to all the other songs didn't even appear in the contract.

He couldn't help but fret, he didn't expect a first-line domestic star to actually lie, and so unscrupulously at that, really exasperating!

"Well, Wang Jingwen is now all yours anyway. Deliver a message to Cao Dequan: I don't want to hear Wang Jingwen singing our company's songs except for "Broken Hearted Woman". Otherwise, we will surely take the copyright certificate to court and sue her. Emma, ​​send out the guests."

After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, he waved Lawyer Wu and his group out.

"Ah!" Emma was in a good mood. Before Wu's group could react, she spoke up: "Gentlemen, please follow me."

Lawyer Wu was eager to counter Zhang Xiaohua's theory, but he could not find a way to breakthrough.

This Zhang Xiaohua, who seemed so young, unexpectedly understood so many things. He could actually use the "Contract Law" to talk back to him.

It seemed that this boy had been prepared for a long time. No, it should be said that he had already planned to sell of Wang Jingwen since the beginning.

Truly great vision!

Lawyer Wu turned and walked away full of anger, intending to go back and find Wang Jingwen to get an explanation...

After Lawyer Wu and his team left, Emma went happily to Zhang Xiaohua and said to him:

"Boss, you already knew that Wang Jingwen would jump ships right? Hahaha, that was a great move."

"Oh, this is also our luck, if Wang Jingwen wasn't so hasty back then, only seeking instant benefits, then today's loss would have been ours." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.

"I see, that Wang Jingwen has inflicted this upon herself, that is what she deserves that ungrateful wrench, letting her sing even "Broken Hearted Woman" is a pity." Xiaohai spoke while indignantly applauding.

"Haha, no, in due time "Broken Hearted Woman" will became a true portrayal of Wang Jingwen, but this is what she asked for!" Emma smiled and added.

At this time, Yuan Datong asked with a worried look: "Xiao-Hua, you just said that Wang Jingwen would try sing our 13 songs. What does this mean? Can they reproduce those music scores without us?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "These things are not important anymore. What you should care about most now is how we will move the money to the bank."

"Yeah..." Looking at the 15 big cases that were filled with cash, Yuan Datong was drooling again, he gradually fell into a trance.

If they sent the money to the bank like this, they could just wait to be investigated by the police.

This was 15 million RMB!

Thinking about it, Yuan Datong grinned and said: "We need to find a few police uncles to help send the money to the bank, that way you won't need to be afraid of being robbed."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Yuan Datong with despise. It was 15 million yuan. Yet he already planned to alarm the police. What would he do if the police confiscated it and investigated them? After all, which company kept 15 million in cash, this just sounded like a cover up for a drug ring or something.

Zhang Xiaohua earnestly spoke: "Emma, ​​Xiaohai, Haozi, Jimmy and Jack, you each take 100,000 in advance. The one million I owed to you before that, I will return to you in the future.

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaohua looked around to see Ling Ming and smiled and said: "Ming also gets 100,000 yuan. This is the company's signing money for you. Perform well and I promise that the company will never mistreat you."

When Ling Ming heard this, she was surprised and could not believe: "I haven't done anything yet, how can I take… 100,000 yuan?"

"Wow, you are so much more humble than that Wang Jingwen. Everyone here earned more than a million last time. How are you excited just for 100,000 yuan?" Said Emma, s​​he took 100,000 yuan, and stuffed it into Ling Ming arms, laughed and said: "Since the boss asked you to take it with you, then you should just accept it. He is so generous to you because he is optimistic about you."

Looking down at the hundred-thousand yuan in her hand, Ling Ming was shocked and delighted. She could not help but sigh and think: 'It's no wonder that everyone wants to join the entertainment industry. It's so simple to make money in this circle!'

After everything had been arranged, Zhang Xiaohua said: "The company currently has no money or savings, so I have decided that the rest of the money will be used as the company's operating funds and will be controlled by me for the time being. Do you have any objections?"

The collective shook their heads and expressed their consent.

In the hearts of everyone nowadays, all decisions of Zhang Xiaohua were unquestionable. As long as it was a rational decision, everyone would comply and cooperate. In other words, everyone was really taking him as the leader.
