The more he read the contract, the more Duan Ruxu felt that Wen Yueze had planned for a long time and was scheming.

During college, he studied economics. Although he didn't study contract drafting, he took the class of his roommate in the same bed in the law school. Even if he is not professional, he still has a little understanding of this aspect.

As for the contract that Wen Yueze prepared for him, there are only four pages, and there are dozens of various clauses in total. It is impossible for him to play on a whim.

You know, the labor contracts of most small businesses only have two or three pages, not to mention their personal ones.

I don't know what Wen Yueze thought about the terms of the contract, but he wrote him a whole four pages.

He took a closer look and found that the contents of these two contracts were rigorous, and it was by no means that he, a half-hearted person, could find loopholes.

After thinking for a while, Duan Ruxu picked up the phone, swiped to the bottom of the contact column, and found a person whose note was "Zhou Xingzheng".

"Hello, Brother Zhou? I'm Xiao Xu."

-

Because the script hadn't been revised yet, Duan Ruxu had to stay at home for a few more days.

He himself doesn't feel much, anyway, today's vacation will turn into tomorrow's work one day, and he has a lot of rest now, which is exchanged for the overnight time in the future, so there is nothing to be happy about.

Instead, Yan Tang sent him a message to pour out his bitterness: [Continue with the current work schedule, when you come back, Brother Duan, I will finish all the plays, and then you won't be able to see me. 】

Duan Ruxu laughed and sent her a soothing expression.

Yan Tang didn't mind his indifference at all, and when there was a response, she sent messages again and again: She said that although Xiang Wanlin didn't have to work these days, she had been staying on the set and would come to see their filming every day; There are annoying people speculating about the relationship between Duan Ruxu and Wen Yueze. She was very angry at first, but Xiang Wanlin helped her out first; One point, it's easy to get along with.

I don't know if it's because the life in the crew is too boring or some other reason, but the news from Yan Tang is all about Xiang Wanlin, and Duan Ruxu can also tell from her few words that the two of them should get along pretty well.

When Yan Tang mentioned Xiang Wanlin for countless times, Duan Ruxu finally couldn't help it, and jokingly sent a message: [Thinking about him so much, you like him? 】

He intended to tease, after all, Yan Tang has such a personality, and he got along well with most of the people in the Jinxiu production team before, and he thought it would be the same with Xiang Wanlin this time.

Who knew that Yan Tang didn't reply quickly this time, on the contrary, it took a long time before he sent an amazed emoji: [Brother Duan, I don't even know if you don't tell me, I seem to like him! 】

Duan Xu choked, even though he had long been used to Yan Tang's informal character, and now he was too shocked by her straightforward words to speak out.

He thought for a moment: 【Are you serious? 】

【If you don’t ask me, I haven’t thought about it. When you ask me, I think about it. It seems that this is really the case】

She quickly sent another message: [What to do, Brother Duan, this is the first time I've fallen in love with someone]

Duan Ruxu was silent.

He believes that Yan Tang's feelings for Xiang Wanlin must be true feelings. Yan Tang has always said something, and she can't hide so many twists and turns in her heart. People feel good about it.

But the problem is, Xiang Wanlin is different.

Putting aside other things, just say that he got the position of actor at a young age, but he has no background but is able to get along in this circle like a fish in water. His city is not comparable to that of Yan Tang.

If there is a motive for committing the crime, Duan Ruxu can even suspect that Yan Tang's admiration for Xiang Wanlin is the latter's deliberate action.

But he was unwilling to discourage Yan Tang's enthusiasm. After all, she also said just now that this was the first time she fell in love with someone, and Duan Ruxu didn't want her to be disappointed in her future love because of a single person.

Maybe even Duan Ruxu didn't realize that before he got to know Xiang Wanlin deeply, he already had a prejudice against this man.

He thought for a long time, and still chose to persuade with a half-joking tone: [That's not okay, anyway, I'm also your rumored ex, so I have to check it out for you]

Yan Tang immediately sent a laughing emoji, agreeing to say yes.

Because he had a few days off and didn't have to deal with anything by himself, Duan Ruxu had more time to "harass" his former friends.

In the past, he was a very lively and cheerful person, and he could play well with everyone around him; later, he had to hide the innocence of young people in his heart due to the need to make a living, and he had no time to play, so he and his friends Gradually alienated.

But he has not changed in his bones. Fortunately, the friends he made back then were not friends who only knew how to have fun, so although he hadn't been in touch for a long time, as long as he did, he would basically answer back.

This time Zhou Xingzheng received the news of their dormitory "sleeping pet" on a rare occasion, and he was good at legal contracts, so he was naturally responsive to Duan Ruxu.

He carefully analyzed the two contracts sent by Duan Ruxu, and found that although the logic of this contract was tight and difficult to break through, there was a mistake that no novice would make:

Of the two contracts, the one belonging to Party A has several more clauses than Party B's.

These clauses are placed in an inconspicuous place, and it seems harmless except that it is shameless-after all, this is a prostitution contract with a strong sense of exploitation, and it is no surprise how shameless it is.

It's just a means for capital to exploit the people at the bottom, Zhou Xingzheng thinks so.

He never expected that the exploited "Party B" would turn out to be their sleeping pet, and he naively believed Duan Xu's statement that "I have a friend".

It can be seen that he seldom surfs the Internet, otherwise it is impossible not to know the joke of "I have a friend, that is myself".

He also tried his best to persuade Duan Ruxu: "If you haven't signed this contract, you tell your friend not to sign it, but even if you sign it, it's okay. Only the same clauses in the two contracts are protected by law, and you don't need to use them in different places. obey."

Duan Ruxu was silent for a while: "My friend regretted it after signing the contract, and asked me if I could force the termination of the contract on the grounds that the contents of the two contracts are different."

"It is feasible in theory, but it is very difficult to operate in practice." Zhou Xingzheng patiently explained to him, "The main reason is that you are both in the entertainment industry. If you sue, the content of the contract is likely to be disclosed by the media, and your friend is likely to Can't get along."

"And legally, the same clauses in the two contracts are valid. If your friend insists on suing, the possibility of winning the lawsuit is not high."

After a pause, he gave his suggestion: "If your friend must terminate the contract, I still suggest that he pay the breach of contract fee, but I don't think this method may be feasible. One is that the contract does not explicitly mention breach of contract compensation. It was I who read the two-point contract, and your friend's capital is almost inevitable for your friend, so it shouldn't be so easy to let him go."

Duan Ruxu silently squeezed the phone tightly: "Then if he sues, what is the probability of winning?"

"If it's me in the lawsuit, it's only [-]%." Zhou Xingzheng's voice was a little helpless, "It's not that I grow up with other people's ambitions, you also know that a person like your friend's Party A must have a legal department. It must be [-]% sure to expose such a big loophole so blatantly, we can't compete with capital, Xiao Xu, you better not worry about it."

Duan Ruxu felt a little heavy and didn't speak.

Zhou Xingzheng also sensed that the atmosphere was not very good, so he laughed dryly: "Don't talk about others, Xiao Xu, we haven't seen each other for so many years, how are you doing, are you still with Wen Yueze?"

At the beginning, Duan Ruxu and Wen Yueze were model couples in their school. Originally, any one of them could act as the facade of their school. What's more, one is enthusiastic and the other is cold. Their different attributes have attracted a group of fans.

One can imagine how many girls were heartbroken when the two of them announced that they were together.

But later, seeing the two of them sticking together all day without getting tired, those girls became... some kind of mysterious organization that gets nourishment from the love between Duan Ruxu and Wen Yueze.

Zhou Xingzheng, a straight guy, doesn't understand these things, but judging from the school's various forum posts back then, it should be true that rivals have turned into sisters, and opponents have turned into allies.

In short, the relationship between the two was very good, so good that Zhou Xingzheng, a person who had never been in contact with homosexuality before, did not have any resistance to this special group of people.

He originally thought that the two of them were still together, but he realized something was wrong in the long silence after asking the question.

Zhou Xingzheng wished he could slap his mouth to take back the words, but before he had time to say anything to save the situation, he heard Duan Ruxu's cold voice: "He's dead."

"Dead...dead?" After all, Wen Yueze was also a man of influence in their school back then, why had he never heard of such a big news?

Duan Ruxu nodded sadly: "Yes, he died five years ago - do you still remember that time you asked me if I wanted to grow up with you? The blow was too great.”

Zhou Xingzheng didn't know what to say at all, he was unprepared for the current scene: Wen Yueze died, five years ago, why does this matter sound so fantastic?

But the sadness in Duan Ruxu's voice didn't seem to be fake, it took Zhou Xing a long time to digest the news, and he was at a loss to comfort him: "Jie... let's be sad."

Duan Ruxu sobbed a few times firmly: "I'm fine, it's been five years, and I let it go anyway."

Only then did Zhou Xingzheng think of something, and suddenly realized: "I just said, I saw that your ins and accounts on various social platforms on vbo said that you have never been in a relationship, and I wanted to ask you about it, but I was too busy and forgot. "

"So that's the reason."

If Duan Ruxu was really sad at the beginning and wanted to temporarily escape reality with clumsy lies like "the ex who hurt me is a dead man", then now, seeing Zhou Xingzheng's trusting attitude without any doubts, he really finds it funny .

I didn't mean to tease people at all, but simply saw that Zhou Xingzheng had the same unreserved trust in him as five years ago, and suddenly I was a little... moved?

It was as if he was still in college, his grandmother hadn’t had an accident, and everything in the future was full of hope, instead of the current situation where he struggled in this society for several years and still couldn’t escape the quagmire of being trapped.

The old man is gone, but the relatives and friends are still there.
