Chapter 262 Jiang Zhao Can't Pay the Penalty for Breach of Contract
Jiang Youli knew without a doubt that the online slander against her was probably a tactic employed by Dafeng Entertainment to push Jiang Zhao to terminate his contract with Xingguang Entertainment.
Last time, Jiang Xinggang betrayed Qi Feixue to testify for her antidote. It's unknown what choice Jiang Zhao will make this time.
Soon, Jiang Youli found it amusing; there was nothing to guess about it.
It's obvious that Jiang Zhao will also choose to betray her.
Just then, a new message popped up on WeChat.
Jiang Youli opened the message and saw that it was sent by Jiang Zhao.
[Xiao Li, have you seen the trending topics online?]
[Shall we talk?]
Jiang Youli replied to the past.
[What's there to talk about?]
They replied very quickly:
[As long as you try to keep me, I will absolutely not terminate my contract with Starlight Entertainment, and I will clarify on Weibo that it is my unwillingness to terminate the contract that has nothing to do with you.]
Jiang Youli: [Are you threatening me?]
Jiang Zhao: [This isn't a threat, Xiao Li, why can't you see it as me begging you?]
Jiang Youli said: "[I'm a grown woman, I can tell the difference between a threat and a plea.]"
……
Dafeng Entertainment.
Jiang Zhao felt a pang of unease upon seeing his younger sister Jiang Youli's brief reply.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhao's reaction, Zheng Zegang's lips curled up slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of triumph, as if everything was under his control.
Zheng Zegang slowly began, "So? Has your sister shown any signs of wanting to reconcile with you?"
Jiang Zhao remained silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, he was disappointed by his sister's attitude; on the other hand, he also began to wonder if what Zheng Zegang said made sense.
Seeing this, Zheng Zegang continued, "I told you long ago, it's completely useless for you to keep pestering your sister and begging for her forgiveness. Women, after all, need to be conquered."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "There's only one way to get your sister to accept you again: become stronger than her! Conquer her with your strength, both as her man and as her brother."
Zheng Zegang's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Jiang Zhao's heart.
He couldn't help but recall the past. His younger sister, Jiang Yonghe, had always tried to please him and his brother, Jiang Xing. Was it really because they were more powerful than her?
Zheng Zegang seemed to see through Jiang Zhao's thoughts, and he further explained: "Think about it, why did Jiang Yonghe go to so much trouble to please you and your brother Jiang Xing back then? Wasn't it because she thought you were more capable than her and were the backers she could rely on?"
Jiang Zhao began to re-examine his relationship with his sister. Perhaps Zheng Zegang was right; only when he truly became strong and could become his sister's support would she be willing to reconcile with him.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Zhao finally spoke, "I understand. I will go to Starlight Entertainment this afternoon to terminate my contract and then sign with Dafeng Entertainment."
Zheng Zegang nodded in satisfaction, knowing he had achieved his goal. "Very good. I'll have the contract prepared this afternoon, ready for you to join us at any time." His voice revealed confidence and anticipation.
……
In the afternoon, Jiang Youli had just finished recording her last song in the recording studio when her secretary, Xiao Yang, rushed over and said to her with a serious expression, "President Jiang, Jiang Zhao is here again. He originally wanted to wait for you in your office, but I felt that was not appropriate, so I didn't let him in and asked him to wait in the waiting room."
Jiang Youli nodded, "I understand."
She knew very well what Jiang Zhao intended to talk to her about this time.
She took the warm water handed to her by her secretary, Xiao Yang, drank half a cup, and then left the recording studio, heading towards the waiting room.
When Jiang Youli entered the waiting room, Jiang Zhao's eyes immediately met hers.
His eyes were somewhat anxious, as if he had a lot to say.
Jiang Youli slowly sat down on the sofa opposite, looking at Jiang Zhao expressionlessly.
"Xiao Li, I feel that it's not clear enough to explain this on WeChat, so I've decided to come and talk to you in person again." Jiang Zhao's voice revealed a hint of helplessness.
Jiang Youli didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.
"You really won't forgive me, and you're determined to blacklist me, isn't that right?" Jiang Zhao frowned deeply, looking somewhat anxious.
Jiang Youli didn't answer his question. Instead, she directly questioned him: "So, those online smears against me and the company were done by you? Your purpose in doing this was to force me to use company resources to promote you?"
Jiang Zhao hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me!" However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he himself felt that the explanation was somewhat weak and unconvincing.
After all, given his relationship with his sister Jiang Youli, even if he said he didn't do it, his sister Jiang Youli probably wouldn't believe him easily.
Sure enough, Jiang Youli said, "Regardless of whether you did it or not, you are definitely involved."
Jiang Zhao said sadly, "Xiao Li, I'm serious. If you're willing to put aside your prejudices and grudges against me, I'm still willing to stay at Starlight Entertainment, continue to work hard writing songs, and make money for the company. I still remember what I told you before. No matter how much money I make, I'll give it to you."
However, Jiang Youli rejected his suggestion without even thinking about it, saying, "I'm serious, I don't need you to make money for me."
A bitter smile appeared on Jiang Zhao's lips. He knew that his sister Jiang Youli's attitude was very firm, and no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be to no avail.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Jiang Youli and said, "Since that's the case, what about what you said before about terminating the contract with me..."
Jiang Youli interrupted, saying, "I already said that since you didn't want to terminate the contract back then, then forget it. Now that you want to terminate the contract, then wait until it expires."
Jiang Zhao signed a ten-year contract because he trusted his company. Now, only two years have passed, and he still has to wait eight more years.
If you terminate the contract after eight years, it will be too late!
Jiang Zhao said, "Xiao Li, as long as you terminate the contract with me, I will never bother you again and you will have to forgive me."
Jiang Youli said sarcastically, "Jiang Zhao, back then I took the initiative to terminate the contract with you and didn't need any compensation from you, simply because I really didn't want to have any more ties or entanglements with you. Unfortunately, you refused back then. You probably felt guilty after you learned the truth that you had been deceived by Jiang Yonghe and had wronged me. In a moment of anger, you only thought about making amends to move yourself and didn't consider the seriousness of the matter. Now you know you regret it, but it's too late."
“If you want to forcibly terminate the contract, that’s not impossible. Then you’ll have to pay the corresponding penalty according to the contract. It’s not much, just ten million.” At this point, Jiang Youli questioned, “But given your current situation, can you really come up with ten million in penalty money?”
