Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

After hearing this, Wei Zhe'an felt that it made some sense, but he was still a little worried: "They are not stupid. They won't agree to such a low amount so easily, right?"

Li Jinhe nodded: "Of course I won't agree to it at the beginning, I will definitely fight with you."

Li Jinhe further explained: "They will eventually agree, because even if your penalty is as high as more than one million, it will only be triggered if you take the initiative to breach the contract in advance. If you successfully debut in this program, your team contract will be with me, and the profit distribution will be 70% to you and 30% to me. It is not certain whether the activities they arrange can get the money before your contract expires."

He touched his chin and continued, "From their perspective, if they really want to promote Liu Zhenyu, they might ask you to leave the show to ensure that Liu Zhenyu's debut is smooth. In this way, they won't get a penny. Therefore, I think they will eventually agree to this condition."

Wei Zhe'an's eyes revealed his admiration for his brother. He asked, "Brother, I'm lucky to have you by my side. Apart from these, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

During the lunch break, Li Jinhe explained to Wei Zhe'an in detail the possible traps in the contract and the word games that Cashew Entertainment might use. Wei Zhe'an listened very carefully and even pulled Seventeen out to listen together.

After explaining almost everything, Li Jinhe solemnly warned before finishing: "You must be cautious about the work they assign to you, and be sure to reduce contact with Qiu Weibing."

Wei Zhe'an recalled what they had discussed in the conference room before, nodded solemnly, and promised: "Brother, don't worry, I will always be on guard."

After hearing Wei Zhe'an's promise, Li Jinhe finally felt relieved.

---------------------------------

In the afternoon, Wei Zhe'an stepped into the practice room again and practiced the new stage with his teammates against the clock until Liu Zhenyu came and knocked on the door.

At 3:30, they took Cashew Entertainment's car to their destination.

The atmosphere in the car was quiet. Both of them chose to remain silent, letting the scenery outside the window pass by.

Back at the Cashew Entertainment building, they were led by staff to the familiar conference room.

The sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, dappling onto the conference table, where several documents and pens were scattered. Wei Zhe'an sat quietly at the table, and soon, Wang Yan and a girl carrying a laptop walked into the room.

Wang Yan briefly introduced the girl. She was a clerk in the Human Resources Department and came to help draft the supplementary terms. She gently pushed a document in front of Wei Zhe'an with a confident smile on her face: "This is the first draft, you can take a look first."

Wei Zhe'an's eyes moved over the treaty one by one, and his brows gradually furrowed. The first draft of the terms was very rough, and the important contents that Li Jinhe taught him at noon were not mentioned in this treaty at all. He realized that today's negotiations might be very long.

He pushed the document back to Wang Yan and said calmly: "These terms are too general. I cannot accept them and cannot sign them."

Wang Yan was not surprised by this. She had long expected that such rough terms would be difficult to satisfy Wei Zhe'an.

She said lightly that this was just a preliminary draft and there were indeed many requirements that had not been clarified, but she hoped that this would demonstrate their sincerity.

Wang Yan tried to ease the atmosphere: "After all, we are still in a cooperative relationship. There is no need to fight to the death."

Wei Zhe'an didn't want to see her hypocritical face and didn't want to beat around the bush. He said bluntly: "Don't put accusations on me. I didn't do anything radical. It's you who have been putting pressure on me. If you really want to sign a supplementary treaty, you should be honest and discuss the key points directly. As for other irrelevant words, I think it's unnecessary."

Wang Yan was choked by Wei Zhe'an's words, but she quickly adjusted her attitude: "Okay, let's get straight to the point." She continued: "The boss means to arrange two endorsements and some announcements for you. As long as you complete these tasks, you can terminate the contract early."

Wei Zhe'an made it clear: "I have signed a contract with Shining Star, and they clearly require me not to participate in other variety shows during the recording of the show to increase exposure. What kind of activities do you mean by the notice? If I breach the contract, the penalty will be quite high, and the penalty will be borne by you. You need to be clear about this."

Wang Yan smiled and responded, "Don't worry, the announcements we arrange will never conflict with your existing contract. They are mainly interviews about daily life."

Wei Zhe'an further requested: "I can accept life interviews, but there is one condition, that is, these interviews cannot be broadcast during my audition, but only after I am eliminated or debut."

Wang Yan weighed the pros and cons in her mind. Most of the interviews that were paid for were from self-media. They invited Wei Zhe'an to increase the exposure of their own channels. This was something she could discuss with them. She thought this request was acceptable. So she said, "We understand your concerns. These interviews should not be broadcast during your talent show. We will abide by this agreement."

Then, Wei Zhe'an asked: "So, how many of these life interviews do I need to participate in?"

Wang Yan responded: "It depends on how many such notices you can receive and how much notice fees you can bring to the company."

Wei Zhe'an pointed out directly: "So, you still value the benefits in the end, right?"

Wang Yan nodded and admitted: "Yes, our main consideration is profit."

Wei Zhe'an took the opportunity to suggest: "In that case, why don't we decide it this way: instead of setting a specific number of announcements, we'll decide based on the revenue the company gets from me. Once I make enough money for the company, we can terminate the contract directly. Isn't that more convenient?"

Wang Yan was a little hesitant about this proposal: "This...we haven't considered this method before. I need to report to the boss."

Wei Zhe'an keenly sensed something: "If your ultimate goal is profit, then this method should be more in line with your interests and more intuitive. Could it be that... there is something fishy in the activities you arranged for me?"

Wang Yan felt a little guilty about what he said and quickly denied it: "Of course not! How is that possible? The notices we provided to you are all normal resource allocations of the company."

Wei Zhe'an continued to ask: "Then may I ask, how much money do you want me to make for the company before you are willing to let me go?"
