"Son, if you are unhappy outside, come back and inherit the family business! There is no reason for our old Du's family to treat others as grandchildren outside!"

When Du Jiaoyang heard his father's familiar voice coming from the phone, his anxious and frustrated mood immediately dissipated, and the corners of his eyes were slightly sore.

This phone call reminded him that no matter what happens outside, there is always a place he can rely on.

Du Quanfu's voice was so loud that Li Qiu on the side could hear it very clearly.

"Pfft—" Li Qiu laughed directly, as if he heard some big joke.

Li Qiu is Du Jiaoyang's manager and knows the Du family well.

Du Jiaoyang's family has no power or power, a typical petty citizen.

This loud Du Quanfu was just a jobless vagrant who often wandered outside, and all he brought back was a bastard with injuries all over his body. The family was supported by the meager salary of Du Jiaoyang's mother, Qi Xiumei.

Qi Xiumei is an aunt in the neighborhood committee. She can't even be a director. She is still a deputy now, and she doesn't have any capable relatives.

Go home and inherit the family business?Being a bastard is considered to inherit the family business?

Du Jiaoyang also understood that this was just because his father wanted him not to wrong him, and there was no family business for him to inherit.

Du Jiaoyang, who played a few small roles as a child, is not well-known, and he played supporting roles or protagonists in his childhood, but he also filmed seriously.

After becoming an adult, Du Jiaoyang, who didn't understand all kinds of tricks in the entertainment industry, signed a contract with a brokerage company in a daze.

Originally thought that he would have more opportunities to act in the future, but since he signed the contract, the company seems to have completely forgotten that he is an actor, and arranged various jobs for him, such as tricks and vulgar variety shows, to consume his fame and squeeze his labor force.

As the name suggests, more exposure can allow more crews to see it.

Forget it, now it's getting worse and you want him to accompany you for a drink, the kind with impure purpose.

Du Jiaoyang could bear everything else, which violated his bottom line, so he left the meeting angrily on the spot, and proposed to terminate the contract.

After spending two years in the company, he didn't receive a single play, and spent most of his time picking his feet in the dormitory, or participating in some sensational activities.

There are also various usual trainings, but compared to the previous training that he paid for himself, the professionalism is obviously much less.

Now he was asked to accept the unspoken rules, which made him unbearable and directly proposed to terminate the contract.

The company had long expected that such a day would come, and it would directly throw the contract in front of Du Jiaoyang.

The contract can be terminated, and the liquidated damages are 300 million.

The entertainment industry is very messy. Some agency companies don't focus on cultivating people, but try their best to squeeze the value of contracted artists. Earning liquidated damages is one of the ways, and they specifically deceive those fledgling young people with ambitions and no background.

Du Jiaoyang simply couldn't afford so much money.

"Du Jiaoyang, I advise you to think it over carefully and don't be arrogant. You are lucky, Mr. Wang admires you very much. You were so shameless that day, so he still wanted you by name."

Li Qiu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke ring.

Du Jiaoyang tilted his head and took a step to avoid the direct attack of second-hand smoke.

"As long as you admit your mistake and take good care of Mr. Wang, it's no problem to be the second male lead. Even the first male lead is promising. Mr. Wang is the biggest investor in this show."

Li Qiu wanted to pat Du Jiaoyang on the shoulder, but Du Jiaoyang dodged it.

"Using such dirty means to obtain roles, I would rather not."

He wanted to act, but he didn't go to the point of betraying himself.

Li Qiu smiled contemptuously, as if he was looking at a child who was spoiled and proud.

Du Jiaoyang's appearance is also very good in the entertainment circle full of beauties, especially he has a refreshing, clean and sunny temperament. The bosses like this very much, and he will be a very good seedling if he is cultivated.

But before that, let him be obedient and obedient, occasionally acting wild is just for fun, but after that, it's just causing trouble.

"Since you are so ignorant, let me remind you again that during the period of not terminating the contract, you are not allowed to take part-time jobs or take jobs privately without the company's consent, and your contract will expire in 13 years. "

Du Jiaoyang pursed his lips. He only found out how deceitful the contract was when he went to court.

This company is very good at taking advantage of legal loopholes, making it hard for people to guard against. It seems that this kind of thing is often done, which is very unfavorable to Du Jiaoyang.

If you want to terminate the contract, you must pay liquidated damages. After all, the other party has invested in his accommodation, food, training, equipment, and some external activities in the past few years, but the amount of liquidated damages must be acceptable. Limit it within a reasonable range by going to court.

During this period, the content of the contract must still be fulfilled. Without the company's permission, it is not allowed to act or engage in other industries.

Du Jiaoyang still stubbornly chose to continue the lawsuit and hire a lawyer to file the lawsuit, but the lawsuit has a period, and it is still in the process of trial.

Seeing that Du Jiaoyang's expression changed drastically, Li Qiu relaxed his attitude again.

"They're all men, they don't pay that much attention. It's a pity to waste such a good opportunity. This drama has the potential to be popular. If you can participate in it, you can choose dramas at will."

Li Qiu stretched out his finger to hook Du Jiaoyang's chin, but Du Jiaoyang slapped him flying.

"Whoever likes to act can act! Listen carefully, I won't do it!"

Du Jiaoyang left stubbornly, dragging his pitifully small luggage home that day.

Standing at the gate of the company, Du Jiaoyang glanced at the signboard, spat, and finally left resolutely.

He didn't believe that he could starve to death without acting!

Li Qiu saw Du Jiaoyang leaving upstairs, with a mocking smile on his face and a stern look in his eyes.

"This is a severe beating that has not gone through the society. If you come back and beg me, it will not be such a good thing!"

-

He walked very gracefully, but the closer he got to home, the heavier Du Jiaoyang's steps became, and his face turned bitter.

What could he do to support himself while the case was in trial?

He didn't have much savings, and he didn't get paid much for acting in the past, and when he clearly wanted to act, he enrolled himself in a lot of related training courses in order to improve his professional ability, and the fees were very expensive.

After signing a brokerage company, although there are some odd jobs, the commission is very high, and he often lives on his previous savings.

He has no plans for the future, and he is very anxious.

Familiar street buildings gradually appeared in front of him. Du's house was in the old city, so the houses were relatively dilapidated.The fireworks are very strong, and the neighbors in the neighborhood know everything about it.

As soon as Du Jiaoyang appeared, he was spotted by the aunt on the street.

"Oh, isn't this the scorching sun? Why are you back? I didn't hear your mother say that."

"Jiaoyang is a big star now, of course Mommy of Jiaoyang can't talk about it everywhere, it will be troublesome when fans will flock here! Isn't it, Jiaoyang?"

"Hello, Aunt Huang, and hello, Aunt Zhao."

Although he tried his best to control it, the haggard look on Du Jiaoyang's face still couldn't be concealed.The two aunts looked at each other, pursed their lips, and winked tacitly.

"However, it's good to play and have fun. It's the most practical to go home and find a stable job."

"That's right, I'm letting my son back in the United States now, so what about Silicon Valley, it's so good that I have a home!"

With difficulty, Du Jiaoyang smiled in response to the kindness of the aunts.

His footsteps became heavier and heavier, and he even had the urge to turn his head and leave.

Before he had this opportunity, his parents got the news and went out to pick him up.

Looking at his parents' bright smiles, Du Jiaoyang's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"I said that Yang Yang will come back today, but if you don't believe me, it will be tomorrow! Fortunately, I have asked for leave."

Qi Xiumei looked at Du Jiaoyang with distressed expression:

"Look, why have you lost so much weight compared to last time? This is how much you have been wronged outside. I will stay at home from now on, and no one will dare to bully my Yangyang again!"

Du Jiaoyang couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help crying in a low voice anymore.

No matter what happens outside, he will always be just a child in front of his family.

"Just come back, just come back."

Du Quanfu patted him on the shoulder with one hand, and took away the luggage from him with the other.

Although Du Quanfu is old and chubby, his physical strength is better than that of a young man, and he can climb stairs with luggage without panting.

Du Jiaoyang didn't have the strength to snatch it back.

When they got home, none of the two elders mentioned the fact that Du Jiaoyang was outside, they just actively arranged delicious meals, and piled up all the delicious food that could be made in front of Du Jiaoyang.

Being in a familiar environment, with his parents by his side, even if there were still a lot of bad things going on, Du Jiaoyang felt extremely comfortable and safe.

Du Jiaoyang is a person who reports good news but not bad news, and doesn't want to worry his parents who are far away in another city.

But he also knew in his heart that his parents must have known something, otherwise the phone call would not have come in such a timely manner, making him determined to go home.

Du Jiaoyang didn't know how to talk to his parents. He had always been very assertive, even a little self-righteous. When he became an adult, he felt that he was very mature and could make up his own mind.

At the beginning, he signed the contract himself, without discussing it with his family.

Fortunately, his parents were open-minded, so they didn't say anything and supported his decision.

I didn't expect that such a big somersault would be unbearable for ordinary people.

The family didn't ask, so Du Jiaoyang didn't say anything, and enjoyed the family reunion first.

Early the next morning, Du Quanfu took Du Jiaoyang up a mountain in the city near the park - Huoyan Mountain.

This mountain is very high. When you climb to the top, you can overlook the whole city. It is the iconic scenery of Haicheng.

After climbing for a whole morning, the father and son finally reached the top of the mountain.

Du Jiaoyang was out of breath, but Du Quanfu looked calm, and the contrast in physical strength was very obvious.

Standing on the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, Du Jiaoyang was infected by the aura of seeing all the small mountains at a glance, and his mood was open.

In the past, Haicheng was just a small county town, but it gradually developed into a medium-sized city. It was not as prosperous and crowded as the first-tier cities, but it still looked like a modern city.

Those high-rise buildings are like ants here, everything seems insignificant.

"what--"

Du Jiaoyang yelled towards the sky, venting his negative emotions, and he felt a lot better after shouting out loud.

"Yangyang, don't worry, no matter what happens to you, no one can do anything to you."

If Du Jiaoyang was still a child, he would have believed it, but he is already twenty, and he knows that there are many things that his parents can't solve.

Parents can let him go home without any pressure, which is very satisfying for him.

"Dad, I feel better now, don't worry."

"There is something I've always wanted to tell you, but I don't want to trouble you. Now I think it's the best time."

Du Jiaoyang saw that he seemed reliable, but in fact he seemed to be very unreliable. His father looked serious and couldn't help becoming serious.

"what?"

"Do you always feel that I am different from others?"

Du Jiaoyang paused, and finally nodded.

There are really not many men in the street like his father who gnaw on their wives, often go out and wander around, and bring back injuries from time to time, and can't explain why.

It is obvious that Du Quanfu looks very honest, and he never has conflicts with his family and neighbors, he is very amiable and warm-hearted.

Usually, when someone's family has something to do, they like to ask his father for help.

But as soon as his father went out to do business, he would look for people to fight with him like he was suffering from a second-year middle school illness.

Sometimes Du Jiaoyang is worthless for his mother, so it would be too bad to marry such a man.

But no matter what, he is his father, and he has been very fond of him since he was a child. Others can criticize him but they can't.

Especially my mother didn't say anything, the couple never quarreled over these things, they were very considerate and understanding.

When Du Jiaoyang asked why, Qi Xiumei just smiled every time and said that his father was not a bad person but a good person, as long as he remembered this.

"Dad, are you similar to the National Security Bureau or a special national agency?"

Du Jiaoyang lowered his voice. This was his childhood dream. He hoped that his father was not a bastard, but a very powerful person.

Because of his special status, he couldn't explain clearly.

Du Quanfu rubbed his chin: "It can be regarded as having something in common."

Du Jiaoyang was skeptical, looking forward to the truth, but also worried about his father's nonsense.

"Which department do you belong to? Can you tell me?"

"of course."

Du Jiaoyang was a little excited, did his childhood wish really come true?Why do you always feel unreliable?

"I see that you suffered such a catastrophe today. It seems that you are destined to inherit our family business. I really can't support myself now, and I need someone to share the work."

Only then did Du Jiaoyang realize that Du Quanfu's eyes were dark, and he immediately became worried about his health.

"Dad, are you okay? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Du Quanfu waved his hand: "It's all right, I'm in good health. I'm a god, so how could something happen to me."

Du Jiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Dad, you can just joke around, don't really take your body seriously."

"I'm not kidding, I'm a god, the land god of this place."

Du Quanfu pointed at the scenery in front of him with his finger, and said domineeringly:

"Son, as far as you can see, it's our territory!"

The author has something to say:

[Brain Hole Nonsense Article] Just watch it for fun, there are a lot of private settings about gods and ghosts, and the background is empty, so don't be too particular.

In addition, part of the contract has been modified to make it more reasonable.

This part was actually not fabricated by me, it was compiled by the news about my Baidu trainee lawsuit, and the compensation of 300 million was obtained from the news.But my protagonist is not a trainee, so there should be a difference.

The source of inspiration also comes from the chaos in the entertainment industry I saw before, the popular ones in Korea, and the ones that were later extended to China.

If you encounter the same type of thing, you must seek legal help to fight for your rights.The most important thing is to be cautious when signing a contract, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

PPS: Added another sentence to emphasize that the protagonist is in a lawsuit, ORZ, which is currently under trial.I roughly calculated the specific period according to the period of my lawsuit. It took me a year to get the verdict in the first instance. I didn’t write the specific time here, but there is a certain period of time.
