Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 575: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
Agent Dawei rushed in with the higher-ups, anxiously asking as soon as he entered, "Have you issued a clarification? I’ll immediately arrange for a PR to draft a statement, we can definitely smooth this over."
"It’s unsalvageable," Wan Tianning said, "I just posted another Weibo, releasing our photo together."
Dawei: "..."
He immediately took out his phone to check Weibo, seeing the photo of Wan Tianning and Lin Yue along with a string of likes underneath.
Wow, sister’s boyfriend is so handsome.
Ah, the goddess’s boyfriend is truly a god too.
Wow, they are really a perfect match, handsome guy and beautiful girl, what a celestial combo?
Only a few haters still criticized Lin Yue for not being a good match for Wan Tianning, but they were quickly bombarded by fan clubs below.
No hired trolls, all spontaneous fan actions.
It seems, public tolerance for handsome guys is indeed high.
However, Dawei’s tolerance was not as high.
He was about to lose it, immediately pointing at Lan and scolding, "Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her? What’s going on? How did this get out? And it’s a photo together, did you take it? Are you out of your mind, posting such photos, do you still want to work?"
Lan, scolded, bowed her head and trembled.
But Wan Tianning authoritatively told Dawei, "If she doesn’t want to work, you can fire her. But, there should be compensation."
"Fine, I’ll pay it, I can’t afford a small assistant’s salary?" Dawei shouted.
Lan quickly looked up at Wan Tianning.
Wan Tianning said, "Don’t worry, if you’re not working at the company, you can work with me. You’ll still be my assistant, and rest assured, I’ll offer more than him."
"If she’s not working at the company, how could she work with you? I will immediately arrange a reliable assistant for you, also, Ningning, hurry and issue a statement, take down this Weibo, just say it was hacked." Dawei advised earnestly.
Wan Tianning pulled Lin Yue over, telling Dawei, "In front of my boyfriend, you want me to deny our relationship, is that polite of you?"
"Why do you look so familiar?" Dawei squinted at Lin Yue and asked.
Lin Yue smiled slightly, "We’ve met before, I’m Lin Yue."
"Ah, you’re Lin Yue? The president of Lin Group?" Dawei was astonished.
Wan Tianning said, "He’s already bankrupt and is now my driver, but soon he’ll be my husband."
"What? Bankrupt? How come I didn’t hear about it? Ningning, are you crazy, he’s bankrupt and you still want to marry him?"
"I love him for who he is, not his money, whether he’s bankrupt or not has nothing to do with me," Wan Tianning said indifferently.
The two higher-ups who came were also furious, one of them even had a crush on Wan Tianning and had been eyeing her for a long time.
Only because she was the company’s cash cow, they didn’t make any moves.
They didn’t expect this cash cow to ruin her future now.
The high-ups were not polite, immediately telling Dawei, "Dawei, stop trying to persuade her. It seems she’s determined to go against the company, in that case, don’t forget the contract you signed when you first joined. This counts as a breach of contract, and you are liable for liquidated damages. After compensating for the breach, the company also has the right to shelf you."
Dawei was startled, hurriedly advising the higher-up, "President Chen, it’s not that serious, is it? I will handle this matter swiftly, it won’t come to that."
This could be a devastating blow to an artist.
Generally, when artists encounter this type of situation, they’re done for life.
After advising the higher-ups, Dawei then urged Wan Tianning, "Ningning, don’t be stubborn, quickly apologize to President Chen. I will handle this matter, you don’t need to worry."
"Dawei, I’m not being stubborn, you want liquidated damages right? I will pay, but it’s not liquidated damages, I want to terminate the contract. So the company shelving me is a joke, I don’t plan to work at the company anymore, what right does the company have to shelf me?" Wan Tianning chuckled coldly.
Dawei was taken aback, looking at her in surprise, "You want to terminate the contract with the company? Ningning, think this through, this is not a small amount. Also, the film directed by Li Zhuo you’re currently shooting is still under the company, if you terminate now, how will you explain it to Director Li Zhuo? This is your first film transitioning genre, if this stops, your career in this industry will be over."
"So, I’m not planning to give up on Director Li Zhuo’s movie," Wan Tianning said.
"But if you leave the company, you’ll have to give up that movie."
"Who says? When I signed with Director Li Zhuo, it wasn’t under the company’s name, what’s it have to do with the company?" Wan Tianning raised her eyebrow.
Dawei: "..."
Lan’s eyes lit up, suddenly recalling something.
Back then, Miss Wan indeed signed with Director Li Zhuo in her personal capacity, it was a right that Miss Wan fought for. After a big success, negotiations with the company allowed for two independent contracts a year.
Unexpectedly, it really came in handy?
"Yes, our Miss Wan didn’t sign with Director Li Zhuo in the company’s name, the company has no right to stop Miss Wan from acting," Lan immediately told Dawei.
Dawei and the higher-ups trembled with anger.
They almost forgot this matter, didn’t expect Wan Tianning looked youthful, acted like an arrogant, spoiled lady, yet was this strategic?
Planned an escape route beforehand?
"Even if this film isn’t called off, you have three years left on your contract with the company. If the company doesn’t make arrangements for you, relying only on two independent films a year, do you think you can survive in this industry?" The higher-up threatened again.
Wan Tianning shrugged indifferently, "Then I won’t survive in it, I’ve made enough in this field, I can retire and do something else."
"You can’t even think of doing anything else. You signed a servitude contract with the company, and unless you’re willing to compensate a huge sum, you can’t do anything." The higher-up continued to threaten coldly.
Wan Tianning gritted her teeth, "What if I’m willing to compensate?"
"I know how much you’ve earned over the years, your money isn’t enough," Dawei said.
"If her money isn’t enough, how about mine?" Lin Yue, who had been silent and shielded by Wan Tianning, suddenly spoke slowly.
"Lin Yue, this has nothing to do with you, don’t interrupt." Wan Tianning immediately tugged at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue said, "You’ve always helped me solve problems, let me help you this time too."
"You went bankrupt, you don’t have any money, how can you help me?" Wan Tianning asked.
Upon hearing the word ’bankruptcy’, Dawei immediately smirked and said, "So President Lin is bankrupt, but, it’s not that you can’t help. President Lin’s external conditions are so good, if he is willing to sign with our company, we can consider reducing Ningning’s compensation."
"Li Dawei, you are really shameless. Not only did you screw me over but you also want to screw my man?" Wan Tianning angrily scolded.
