The actor is my predecessor who was scumbag

Jiao Yin really suspected for a moment that he might not be hearing hallucinations: "What did you say?"

Jian Huai repeated it expressionlessly: "I want to terminate the contract."

The lights under the stage were dim, Jiao Yinzhen looked at the young man in front of her, for a moment, she wondered if she didn't know Jian Huai anymore.

The young man in front of him was wearing a tall slim suit, with a faint smile on his delicate face, and two small dimples looming, but there was no warmth in the smile, and there was determination and indifference in those Danfeng eyes. Not to show he's serious.

Jiao Yinzhen took Jian Huai into the dressing room, and there were only the two of them here.

Jian Huai went to get a glass of water and handed it to her: "Just now I felt that your voice was a little hoarse, drink some water."

Jiao Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, and swallowed all the lines she had thought up. She took the water glass: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jian Huai also poured himself a glass, "Be careful when you're busy."

Under the warm water, Jiao Yinzhen was relieved.In fact, Jian Huai has always been very good at taking care of people. He can take care of everyone around him thoughtfully, so he is very popular, and she never needs to worry about it.

Jiao Yinzhen sat down on the sofa: "Xiao Huai, please calm down, I know that you have been wronged by many press releases and schedules arranged by the company recently, but you have to believe that these are all expedient measures, and I will think about it later. There is a way to compensate you, the termination of the contract is not a trivial matter, you have to think about it carefully."

Jian Huai was straightforward: "This is the result of my careful consideration."

Jiao Yin really felt that he was too impulsive, so she rationalized her thoughts: "Jian Huai, your contract was signed for five years, and it's only the second year now. If you want to terminate the contract, you need to pay for the termination fee. I paid such a high price to support you, it is impossible to let you go so simply."

Jian Huai put down the cup: "I'm mentally prepared, Miss Zhen."

"Do you know how much it will cost to terminate the contract?" Jiao Yin really had to remind him, "At least 1000 million yuan, do you have that money?"

Jian Huai usually doesn't spend money extravagantly, whether it's clothes or jewelry, he doesn't pursue famous brands, and the ones bought from roadside stalls are still comfortable to wear. Seeing that he usually lives so poorly, others naturally can't think about how much money he has.

"You don't have to worry about that." Jian Huai smiled, "It's still affordable."

"..."

Jiao Yinzhen was silent for a while: "I can't understand you more and more."

Jian Huai reached out to shake her hand: "Sister Zhen, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"You don't need to thank me." Jiao Yinzhen took a deep breath and shook hands with him, "I have worked hard on you during this time."

The matter of the termination of the contract came to a showdown, and the broker's hurdle passed faster than Jian Huai imagined.

Coming out of the recording site, the cold winter wind blew over Jian Huai's face.Originally, terminating the contract should be a very heavy thing, but Jian Huai felt refreshed all over his body at this moment, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Duan Wu chased after him: "Brother!"

Jian Huai turned around: "Go home, today's trip is over, it's cold today."

"I'm listening, I heard what Zhenjie said..."

Jian Huai nodded: "Well, what you heard is true."

"..."

Duan Wu looked like he was about to cry, but he still held his own: "Brother, really, I know that you are actually having a hard time. I thought you would leave, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

The nanny's car stopped outside, Jian Huai took him into the car, the heater was turned on in the car, he patted Duan Wu's head: "There is always a banquet in the world, you will have a better boss."

Duan Wu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Compared with Jian Huai's calmness, he couldn't be so calm.Although Jian Huai is not on the front line, he has never treated the staff around him badly, no matter how he treats others, it will be very difficult for him to meet such a good boss again in his life.

Jian Huai comforted him all the way, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned home, he simply made a meal when he got home, after thinking about it, he decided to call Shen Xiangheng.Cahill asked him to discuss with Shen Xiangheng more, and he had to open his mouth if he had something to say. In this case, he wanted Shen Xiangheng to be the first to know about such a big deal as the termination of the contract.

"Dududu-"

The phone kept ringing, but there was no answer for the time being. Jian Huai's heart fluttered with the waiting tone, and finally when he almost decided to hang up, the phone was answered.

Shen Xiangheng's deep and magnetic voice came from over there: "Hello."

"Good evening, brother." Jian Huai held the phone, "Did I disturb you?"

Shen Xiangheng was at a reception, walked through the corridor, and walked to the rooftop: "No, I just came out to get some air."

Jian Huai relaxed a bit, after hesitating for a while, he mustered up his courage: "I have something to tell you."

Shen Xiangheng lit a cigarette. At the private reception, he relaxed a lot, holding the cigarette between his slender fingers, and the man's voice was magnetic: "What's the matter, you want to enter Hollywood?"

"no!"

Jian Huai lost all the tension that had been brewed by his words, and he muttered, "I want to terminate the contract."

Shen Xiangheng was silent for a while.

Jian Huai had no confidence because of him: "What do you think?"

"Me?" Shen Xiangheng sneered, "You idiot company should have terminated the contract long ago, why don't you keep it for Qingming Festival?"

Jian Huai coughed lightly: "I'm ready to solve it."

Shen Xiangheng had a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth: "Have you talked to the company?"

Jian Huai shook his head: "Not yet."

"Yeah." Shen Xiangheng leaned on the railing, looked up at the dark blue sky, and said softly, "You're pretty smart."

Jian Huai was taken aback: "Why?"

The corner of Shen Xiangheng's mouth curled into a smile: "Call me first if you know."

Jian Huai was a little embarrassed.In fact, with his temperament, he would definitely not bother others if he could solve it by himself. This time, he was able to take the initiative to call Shen Xiangheng to ask him for advice, which is considered a big determination.

Shen Xiangheng took down the cigarette and squeezed it out with his hands: "Tomorrow you go to negotiate the contract, and I will send someone to follow you."

"It's okay!" Jian Huai was afraid that he would think that he was asking him to borrow money, "I have prepared the money for the termination of the contract, and I have saved a little over the years."

He didn't like to spend money recklessly in the United States. In the years when he followed Shen Xiangheng, frugality has become a habit engraved in his bones. Although Cahill said that he was a bit noisy, the people under his opponents never Don't be stingy.

He has saved money for six years, plus he has not spent any money from filming TV dramas and running variety shows in this year, so he has a small amount of savings.

Shen Xiangheng raised his eyebrows: "Really no need?"

Jian Huai said, "Really."

"Then you called..." Shen Xiangheng raised his eyebrows, "Just to tell me?"

Jian Huai was a little embarrassed: "That's right."

The cool wind in the night sky blew slightly, blowing away the dryness and heat on the body, leaving only a piece of tranquility and gentleness.Not far away was the bustle and bustle, and the lights were feasting and feasting, but Shen Xiangheng's heart softened inexplicably.

"Jane Huai."

His voice was deep and simple, but Jian Huai on the other end of the phone was shocked when he called out a simple name.

Shen Xiangheng: "Don't support yourself if you have something to do, there is me."

Jian Huai had a sore nose for no reason, and he said, "I see."

Originally, Jian Huai had no confidence in the matter of terminating the contract, but this phone call suddenly gave him endless strength, allowing him to face all unknowns that may happen in the future.

"You want to terminate the contract?"

In the spacious and bright office, Jiang An, the manager of the artist department, sat at the front.Jiang An is nearly forty years old, and he is very energetic, but his eyes make people uncomfortable when looking at people.

Jian Huai nodded: "Yes, terminate the contract."

Jiang An smiled coldly, dissuading him without sincerity: "It's not a good thing for young people to be uncertain."

Jian Huai played with the pen in his hand. The clothes he was wearing today were rather casual, and he didn't have a serious look on his face, but it was definitely not a joke: "Brother Jiang is right, only when you are determined can you get things done. Unable to settle down, I had to find another place.”

Jiang An was not the only one sitting in the meeting room this time, several senior executives from the artist department who could talk came. Pushing the second line, the future is limitless, and there is even the possibility of becoming popular in the future.The overall posture of the executives did not seem to be discussing the termination of the contract, but it seemed that they were interrogating Jian Huai three times.

Other executives also said:

"Xiao Huai, are you dissatisfied with the recent press release arranged by the company?"

"Everything is negotiable."

"It's not a trivial matter to terminate the contract."

"Young people, don't be impulsive, the company treats you well."

Jian Huai listened patiently to what they had to say before speaking: "Leaders, thank you for your concern for me. I have considered it carefully, and I have made up my mind to terminate the contract."

The conference room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang An in front gave Jiao Yinzhen a wink, Jiao Yinzhen sighed helplessly, and handed over the draft contract in his hand: "This is a contract to terminate the contract, take a look."

Jian Huai opened it and took a look, breathing unconsciously.He was mentally prepared when he proposed to terminate the contract. After calculation, the termination fee will not exceed 500 million at most. This is also the reasonable price that Jiao Yinzhen estimated for him, but the contract says A full 3000 million!

There was a smile on the corner of Jiang An's mouth: "Since you have made up your mind, Xiao Huai, we can't stand in your way, can we? Please take a look at this contract. If it's okay, let's settle it like this?"

Jian Huai's face darkened: "Why 3000 million?"

"Ah, this," Jiang An said slowly, "Our calculation method is reasonable. In the past two years, the resources that the company has won for you, in order to praise you for the money you spent, after you leave, the company The loss, these are all included in it, if there is no problem, just sign it."

Jian Huai put down his pen: "The termination fee in the original contract was only 1000 million."

Jiang An seemed to have expected that Jian Huai would say this a long time ago, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile: "Really? But didn't there be a line of words behind it, 'The final interpretation right belongs to the company'."

"..."

Jian Huai's face turned cold.

After all, Jiao Yinzhen still has some affection for the little artist under her hands, she said: "Xiao Huai, the company was indeed wrong in the previous draft arrangement, so we fought with the superiors and arranged for you A big movie is directed by Jiang."

Jiang An also nodded, and echoed: "Since you have indeed made a lot of contributions to the company, we all see it, so we also fought with the higher-ups to upgrade your contract and change it to B How is the grade?"

This is the legendary "hit a stick and give a date".

If before this, Jian Huai still thought about leaving the company after the contract period expired, but now he himself scoffed at his naive idea before, it would be really foolish to keep him in such a company any longer.

Jian Huai threw the pen that signed the contract on the table: "I won't sign it."

Everyone was stunned.

Jiao Yinzhen pulled Jian Huai's clothes corner under the table, telling him not to be impulsive, and to discuss things first.

Jiang An sneered: "It seems that Teacher Jian is not going to terminate the contract?"

Jian Huai raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and he looked at him without blinking: "I will definitely think about it again."

Jiang An smiled, and stretched out his hand to shake hands: "I look forward to continuing to cooperate in the future."

Jian Huai turned around and left.

The atmosphere in the conference room was really not good. Jiao Yinzhen glanced at Jiang An at the table, quite disapproving: "Why are you in such a hurry to take out the contract?"

Jiang An looked at her leisurely, and spread his hands: "At least Teacher Jian said to think about it again, right?"

"..."

Jiao Yinzhen also turned and left.

Jian Huai came out of the conference room with heavy steps. He thought that the termination of the contract might not be so smooth, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Jane Huai!"

Someone called from behind, and Jiao Yin really quickly caught up with him: "Aren't you going to terminate the contract? It's pretty good, you still have a long future, just five years..."

Jian Huai interrupted her in a deep voice: "I will not give up and terminate the contract."

Jiao Yin was really taken aback.

"It's just a matter of time." Jian Huai smiled slightly.

Jiao Yinzhen looked at his somewhat stubborn face, and sighed slightly in his heart, the usually docile person suddenly became ruthless but so decisive.

"It seems that this endorsement is not for us to shoot."

Duan Wu checked the itinerary, and said to Jian Huai while looking at it.

Early in the morning, Jian Huai had just woken up, and was planning to tidy up before going to work. Originally, there was a big-name endorsement that required him to shoot today.

Jian Huai paused while putting on his clothes: "What do you mean?"

"Yeah, I just received a notice from Zhenjie." Duan Wu hugged the tablet, "It seems that our endorsement was handed over to Le Xiangming..."

Jian Huai frowned: "The reason?"

Duan Wu blushed: "Arranged by the company."

"..."

Jian Huai is too lazy to call now. He already understands the specific reason. It is simply because the company suspects that he will file a lawsuit and terminate the contract, so he is afraid that the resources will flow to outsiders. Now he is trying to find a way to transfer resources.

Jian Huai sneered: "The company's wishful thinking is really good."

Duan Wu also felt that the company had gone too far.

"Okay." Jian Huai didn't say much, "Since I have no announcement to shoot today, let's go back to the crew."

Duan Wu nodded like pounding garlic: "Okay, okay."

A group of people got into the nanny's car and went to the film crew. Jian Huai sat in the car thinking about the lawsuit.Once a lawsuit is filed with the company, it will be a complete tear. Many things the company is doing now are just to force him to submit.

Whether it's transferring resources or increasing the termination fee, it's just a means. Another more serious problem is that if he really goes to court, other brokerage companies don't like this kind of tearing up with the company. If he is an artist, he will not sign him. After his contract is terminated, it may be difficult to find a new company.The company decided on this, so it upgraded his contract to a B-level contract, and dared to threaten him so brazenly.

"Brother Huai." Sitting next to him, Duan Wu said softly, "It's indeed wrong for the company to do this, but there's no need to waste time with them. Five years will pass quickly."

Sitting on the car seat, Jian Huai looked at the fast-moving street trees outside the car window: "You think so too?"

Duan Wu nodded gently.

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Jian Huai's mouth, but he didn't speak.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Huai received a call from Shen Xiangheng in the crew.

The environment on Shen Xiangheng's side was a bit noisy, but he could hear clearly: "How is the contract going?"

"It's not very good." Jian Huai sat resting on a small stool in the shed. He was consulting several lawyers he knew in the United States, and he received this call before he could figure it out.

Shen Xiangheng's voice was lazy: "Let me guess, did they increase your termination fee?"

Jian Huai was surprised: "Brother, how do you know?"

"It's like this for companies without products," Shen Xiangheng sneered, "Do you even need to think about it?"

"..."

His experience in the entertainment industry did not sink to Hengduo.

Jian Huai is having a headache right now, and he didn't put much effort into filming this day, but fortunately, the director doesn't care about anything, he just does it casually, and the so-so shots pass by, and the whole crew has revealed a bit of money from top to bottom. The breath of money came out, and everyone was careless.

Shen Xiangheng said, "How much did they say?"

Jian Huai hesitated for a moment, but still told him: "3000 million."

Shen Xiangheng sneered: "I have a lot of appetite."

"I'm not going to really pay them." Jian Huai expressed his thoughts, "I thought I would go to court."

Shen Xiangheng said "hmm": "Bring me the contract that I signed at the beginning, and I'll take a look."

Jian Huai was taken aback: "Shall we meet?"

"Why, don't you want to?" Shen Xiangheng's voice was a little teasing, "Ms. Jian's schedule is too full now, so I can't make time?"

Jian Huai quickly said: "No, no, I'm free tonight, and I'll be done at eight o'clock today!"

After blurting out the words, he regretted a little, it really seemed too eager...

Shen Xiangheng glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Well, see you then."

After making an appointment to meet, the phone hung up. Jian Huai seemed to let go of a big rock in his heart. Shen Xiangheng was like his spiritual support. Even if he didn't do anything, he just said a few words or gave him a look. , is enough to cheer him up.

When work was over at night, Wang Qianqian, the heroine of this drama, took the initiative to come over: "Brother Huai..."

Jian Huai had already packed up her things and was about to leave. When she saw her coming, she was suspicious: "What's the matter?"

"It's like this," Wang Qianqian shyly rolled her hair at the sideburns, "I have a bottleneck in the filming tomorrow, so can we have dinner together tonight and discuss it?"

Jian Huai closed the door of the rest room, and smiled slightly: "I think you may have found the wrong person for something like a bottleneck in filming."

Wang Qianqian was taken aback.

"You should go to the director for this kind of thing." Jian Huai waved at her, "If you really care about this drama, I suggest that you read the script more and memorize the lines when you are free. , it might be much better.”

Wang Qianqian's complexion is a bit ugly. She is busy fixing her makeup and taking selfies when she is resting during the day, or she keeps in touch with her good brothers and fathers on WeChat. How can she have time to memorize lines? For those with dubbing, it's enough to match the mouth shape barely, why are there so many rules.

While she was in a daze, Jian Huai had already left.

In December, the weather was already cold, and the wind outside was very cold on his face. His driver learned that he had an appointment tonight, so he left first.

Jian Huai is thinking about buying a car in the future, so that it will be convenient to travel.

Just as he was thinking, a car stopped in front of him, the black sports car seemed like a dormant beast ready to go in the dark night.The car window fell slowly, and Shen Xiangheng whispered: "Get in the car."

Jian Huai got into the car as if having fun.

Wang Qianqian, who chased after him and didn't take two steps, happened to see this scene, she curled her lips, she didn't believe that Jian Huai was Shen Xiangheng's love in the company, but now she has to believe it.

Jian Huai in the car was very happy: "Brother, why did you come here in person?"

Shen Xiangheng stepped on the accelerator and started the car: "On the way."

"What a coincidence!" Jian Huai put on his seat belt, "I was thinking about taking a taxi back later."

Shen Xiangheng: "You should have a car."

Jian Huai nodded: "Yes, I'm thinking about it. After this year's matter is settled, I can change to another car. It can't be too cheap. What do you think of Volkswagen? It's not bad to have a price of [-]."

"..."

Shen Xiangheng was silent for a while: "Go and pick one in my garage."

Jian Huai was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Leave it alone." Shen Xiangheng said casually, "It's about a hundred thousand."

Jian Huai originally wanted to refuse, but she was afraid of making Shen Xiangheng unhappy.He didn't expect Shen Xiangheng to pursue simplicity like him, and it seems that he is still very good at living!

The car finally stopped in front of a restaurant.

Jian Huai followed him out of the car and walked into the restaurant: "Shall we come here for dinner?"

"Yeah." Shen Xiangheng said, "Meet a friend by the way."

Jian Huai responded and followed him upstairs.This restaurant is a hot pot restaurant, and its business is not bad. There are separate private rooms upstairs, decorated in classical Chinese style, which is quite elegant.

The tables and chairs in the room are made of wood. It doesn't look like a place to eat hot pot, but it looks like a place to drink tea. The waiter brought the menu: "Please order."

Sitting by Shen Xiangheng's hand, Jian Huai whispered: "Shall we wait for your friend to come and order together?"

"No need." Shen Xiangheng poured a glass of water, "It doesn't matter if he eats or not."

"..."

Ok.

Shen Xiangheng went outside to adjust the sauce. Jian Huai ordered the dishes and gave the menu to the waiter. Just as he was about to adjust it with the past, the door was pushed open and someone came in.

Young Master Rong Jin took off his hat: "Oh, long time no see!"

Jian Huai thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw him.

"Ah, you don't remember!" Rong Jin smiled, showing his white teeth, "That's right, it's normal for you to be busy studying every day and not pay attention to me. I was at the same table with Xiang Heng in high school, although he dropped out of school later. Yes. But after he was dumped, he was looking for life and death in front of me, you don’t know, hey, he’s super ugly, and he’s still clamoring to go to the United States every day..."

The door was opened, a tomato hit Rong Jin's head, Shen Daying's expression was not good: "Do you want to die?"
