disqualified lover

Chen Zui suffered from insomnia all night, and went to Xiao Ying's studio early the next morning.

It was too early, and Xiao Ying hadn't come yet, so the assistant asked him to wait in the office for a while.Assistant Xiao Ying is 27 and [-] years old. She usually works silently, and her actual thoughts are very delicate.

After she led Chen Zui to the office, she went to the fast food restaurant downstairs and bought Chen Zui a breakfast and a cup of coffee.

"You haven't eaten breakfast yet, eat something first, and then drink coffee, or it will be bad for your stomach." The assistant took care.

"Thank you, it's too much trouble for you." Chen Zui was a little absent-minded, thinking about what to tell Xiao Ying for a while.

Xiao Ying hasn't come yet, and the assistant has nothing to do at the moment, so he simply sits next to Chen Zui and chats with him: "Why are you so polite to me. Mr. Xiao is looking for an assistant for you, and he said that before he finds it, let me give it to you." Part-time job."

This made Chen Zui even more uncomfortable. He actually came to terminate the contract this morning.He signed to the company, and even if he sang his songs, the ownership is not his alone, let alone songs like "Gods" that have already started to be produced.He had no face to ask Xiao Ying to just return the song to him, so he simply terminated the contract.

Seeing that he didn't answer and looked sad, the assistant guessed that he was tired.

"You can rest for a while after eating, and you can sleep on the sofa for a while. You are quite tired. Mr. Xiao is here, and I will call you." After speaking, he went out and closed the door tactfully.

Chen was the most sleepy because he couldn't fall asleep. He just finished his coffee and sat on the sofa in a daze, listening to the increasingly lively voices outside.

Although the company is new, it can be seen that the core team, whether it is assistants, music directors, art directors, etc., is composed of old people.The atmosphere in the company is good and the work efficiency is high.Chen is not stupid at all. He knows that if he continues to sing well in this kind of company, he will definitely have a place on the music list in the near future.

It's a pity that fate didn't allow him to do what he wanted. Maybe He Zhang and the others know that "Shenming" is theoretically owned by Century Media, so people can't be opportunistic.

It's not that he can't refuse to admit it, but he can't do it, especially since Lin Jianqing knows it and made this request to him, and he can't play a rascal in front of Lin Jianqing.Maybe He Zhang knew this and asked Lin Jianqing to tell him.

Give it back to him, give it all back to them, he doesn't owe He Zhang or Lin Jianqing, and stay away from these people and everything in the past from now on.When Chen Zui thought this way, he didn't feel so sad. Maybe that's how he felt when he gave up his heart.

Not long after, Xiao Ying came.

"I was looking for you, and you came here. It seems that we have a good understanding." Xiao Ying said with a smile.

"President Xiao, I..."

"How many times have I said it, call me sister." Xiao Ying lit a cigarette for herself, and gave another one to Chen Zui, and the distance between the two of them instantly increased.Just when Chen was still hesitating how to speak, Xiao Ying said first, "Are you a bit bored this time? You will be busy soon. We have already contacted a special marketing team and are currently discussing how to push you out. .”

Xiao Ying said enthusiastically that it was even more difficult for Chen to interrupt her, so she just held a cigarette and listened to her silently, feeling more and more guilty.

"They gave a plan that this year's "Voice of Dreams" is already in preparation, and they want you to participate. Their opinion is that you can participate in the audition, sing new songs, and create momentum for you along the way. Finally, we want to There is a way for you to win the championship. But I think the battle line is too long since the audition. Another program "New Voice Conference" has already entered the top [-] selections. It will be a bit troublesome to add new faces. This is not true. The problem, the problem is that you face a strong opponent as soon as you come, do you think you have the ability to resist pressure?"

"I want to hear your opinion before we move on to the next step."

Chen Zui pursed his lips tightly, the rising smoke almost made him cry, and a long trail of gray-white soot gathered on the burning cigarette.His fingers trembled slightly, and the cigarette ash fell on the sofa. Chen Zui raised his face and said with difficulty: "Mr. Xiao, I want to terminate the contract."

Xiao Ying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't make such a joke."

Chen Zui was even more embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry."

Xiao Ying stood up, walked to her desk, put out the cigarette, and walked back and forth in the office for a few steps.When she turned to face Chen Zui, her expression was very ugly. She confirmed again: "Are you serious? If the remuneration is not satisfactory, we can talk again."

"No, the company has taken good care of me."

"If you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell me, and we can figure out a solution together."

Chen lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Ying's face: "I really appreciate your taking care of me during this time."

Seeing Chen Zui like this, Xiao Ying knew that he had made up his mind, and cooperating with them has been wasting their time, right?Xiao Ying had never encountered such a thing before, and she was a little angry.

"You insist on terminating the contract, right? You won't say the reason? You need to know that terminating the contract is not a one-sentence matter."

Chen Zui's palms were sweating. Yes, the termination of the contract is not a matter of a word, but a matter of a large sum of money, but what can he do?Just by giving this song to He Zhang, he has already breached the contract.

"I know."

"That's fine, let's do it according to the contract." Xiao Ying's attitude changed abruptly, and her voice was very cold. During this time, she was almost busy working for Chen Zui, and arranged a development path for him in the future. Today, she came suddenly After such an outburst, everyone will be furious.

"Okay, but I can't afford so much money at once. I'll pay a sum first, and the rest will be paid later. You can calculate my interest for the excess time."

Xiao Ying just looked at Chen Zui who was also sad.

"You can think about it again, maybe some things can be overcome without terminating the contract."

"No, I've made up my mind. I'm really sorry, Sister Xiao." Chen Zuo stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Ying, and left.

Although he has only been here for a few months, Chen Zui is actually very reluctant. The people here are very kind and polite to him, and they treat him like a serious musician. understood.Yes, what is more important than money and fame is that the colleagues here know what he wants, can understand what he says, and try to do what he wants for him.

A few steps after he came out, the music director came up to him, pulled him and said eagerly: "I just knew you were here to look for you, come on, I think I found the feeling you mentioned last time, and replaced the flute with Tao Xun, come and listen."

Chen Zui broke free from his hand: "No need, I have something to do, so I have to go first."

"Hey, why are you so anxious, listen to it first, it won't delay you for a few minutes, and now the effect is great, they have all listened, and only your opinion is needed."

Chen Zui was on the verge of collapse, he couldn't listen anymore, ignored the director, turned and left.

Chen Zui sat on the bus, and as the car swayed, his mood was shaken to the bottom, not only his mood reached the bottom, but his life also reached the bottom.

The last time he had this kind of experience was when he sold his family’s house to treat Chen Hao’s illness. The money was spent too quickly, and Chen Hao was admitted to the ICU again. When he sold his beloved second-hand motorcycle, he was riding on the bike On the side of speeding while crying.

The last time he experienced this was when his mother left quietly. He returned to the dark old house from the band, and before he turned on the light, he heard Chen Hao’s voice from the bed in the house: "Brother, mom is gone... you Let's go too." At that moment, he didn't understand what this meant, but he already understood it subconsciously.He originally went into the room to comfort Chen Hao, but in the end he was left hugging each other and crying.

Now Chen Zui can't cry anymore.Chen Hao was still there, and he went round and round and returned to the starting point. No matter what, life must go on.

On the way, he received a call from Liu Zhifan.

Speaking of being sorry to Xiao Ying, in fact, it is Liu Zhifan who is most sorry.Others helped him without asking for anything in return, and in the end it was because he offended a friend like Xiao Ying.

Liu Zhifan said it didn't matter. He only said that if Chen needs help most, he must tell him, don't fight it alone, and when he has a chance in the future, if he wants to sign a company, he can tell him.Instead of blaming Chen Zui, he comforted him a lot.

The penalty for breach of contract was 300 million. For Liu Zhifan's face, Xiao Ying didn't sign too much.Besides, they also knew that for Chen Zui, there was no difference between 300 million and 3000 million.

He could only lose the money slowly one by one.

Not long after, he received a call from Xiao Ying's assistant, saying that Mr. Xiao was angry and said some exaggerated things just now, so Chen should not pay too much attention to it.

"Mr. Xiao said, since I can't keep you, there is really no way to terminate the contract. Mr. Xiao and Brother Liu have been friends for many years. In terms of this relationship, as for liquidated damages, everyone should pay one." But the money that has already been spent, such as MV production costs, music production costs, manpower and material resources during this period, etc., is a total of 140 yuan, which needs to be borne by you, no problem."

Chen Zui said again and again: "No problem, these few months have been too difficult for you."

"No, everyone likes you very much. The little girls in the company are starting to follow you. In fact, I am also looking forward to seeing you on stage." The assistant said with a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry." Chen Zui is actually not very good at dealing with this kind of worldly affairs. When talking about these things, he just gets more and more sad and guilty.

"Don't apologize, who hasn't mentioned any special circumstances. By the way, I have sent the bill to your email. If you have any questions, just ask me."

"Ok."

"Chen Zui, no matter where you sing in the future, we will support you. I look forward to hearing your music and seeing you appear on the screen."

"Thank you!" He quickly hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
