Chapter 155 Bai Yueguang
Ye Yan's prediction was correct. He insisted on terminating the contract and Xu Qingran had no choice but to agree. He handled the matter in a low-key manner and saved the process of collecting liquidated damages from him.
To be precise, the penalty for breach of contract belongs to the company's cash flow, and Xu Qingran personally paid the 5.8 million yuan to the company's account.
It was Ye Yan's negligence. He thought that he could refuse to accept the money with just a word from Xu Qingran, but he forgot that the money was public funds written in the contract. Xu Qingran did not participate in the drafting of the contract in the first place, so everything had to be handled impartially.
The endorsement fee was 6 million and the penalty was nearly million. The moment Xu Qingran found out, his face turned extremely horrified. The staff in charge of this matter in the conference room sat in two rows tremblingly, each of them buried their heads and dared not breathe.
"Is this how our ATIM Group makes money? Seven times the penalty, are you crazy?"
"That's because Ye Yan is so famous and influential... If anything happened during the endorsement period that damaged his image, it would be a huge blow to the brand. We were also protecting the company's interests... We didn't expect he would actually terminate the contract..."
The subordinate's vocal cords were almost tied when he was explaining, but the reason was reasonable. If Ye Yan's reputation collapsed, all the business stocks under his name would have to be moved.
This reason made Xu Qingran, who was about to explode, hold back his anger.
It’s not because of the contract, nor because of the huge amount, but because of Ye Yan.
His Yan did not choose to face the difficulties between them with him, and not only that, she also wanted to separate from him.
He couldn't understand how Ye Yan, who dared to love and hate and refused to be bound by anyone, could suddenly become so selfish and unable to accept even the slightest difficulty.
Xu Qingran didn't want him to suffer for his own sake, but when he saw Ye Yan's determination to withdraw, he still felt heartbroken.
Seeing that he had a gloomy face and didn't speak, the subordinates looked at each other and no one dared to speak first. They could only look at Qiao Lin who was sitting next to Xu Qingran as if asking for help.
Qiao Lin exhaled, cleared his throat as if ready to die, and leaned close to Xu Qingran and whispered, "Mr. Xu, do you want to confirm the compensation amount with Feiying Entertainment?"
"Confirm your ass! Do you want Ye Yan to compensate me? I will be responsible for the liquidated damages. Dismissal."
Xu Qingran snapped the folder shut and left with a cold expression. Qiao Lin didn't dare to say anything. He just cleaned up the desk silently and muttered, "It's unnecessary for me to ask..."
He knew that there was a problem between the two of them, and he also knew that his president was angry. As an assistant, it was not his place to say who was right or wrong. He could only pray that Xu Qingran could handle things like a normal person, and then everything would be fine.
But the fact is, he overestimated Xu Qingran with just such a small request, because he found that Xu Qingran seemed to be getting further and further away from being a "normal person".
The reason was that Ye Yan later found out that it was Xu Qingran who paid the money for him, and it was not the so-called relationship that exempted him from the penalty for breach of contract.
With such a large amount of money, even if Xu Qingran took money from his left pocket, he could not give Lin Anyi an excuse to look down on him, so he forcibly returned the money to Xu Qingran through the company's finance department. This awkward behavior made Xu Qingran furious.
He felt that Ye Yan had calculated things too clearly with him. Was she preparing to draw a line between them? They hadn't broken up yet!
The boss's sudden anxiety made the already tense relationship even worse.
Xu Qingran: Why are you paying me back? Do you have to be so specific with me? Do you treat me like an outsider?
When Ye Yan received Xu Qingran's text message, she was recording the theme song for "Chu Cheng" in the recording studio.
This was his first time taking on a singing job. He sang the theme song and Ji Yun sang the ending song, which was one of the benefits the TV series provided to the audience.
At first he wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over again, he decided to try a new challenge and let people who knew him get to know his unknown side. Maybe he could do more than just acting, he could do anything well as long as he was willing to do it.
I have to say that he is extremely talented in acting.
When the recording engineer discovered that his voice and singing skills were not inferior to those of professional singers, he was so amazed that he couldn't help but blurt out to the composer next to him, "Lao Zhang, your song is sure to be a hit."
The composer also applauded: "It turns out that people with good acting skills can also express the emotions required for music. If he weren't acting, he would definitely be an excellent singer. He is simply a hexagonal warrior. I want to sign him to release an album."
The two musicians stared at Ye Yan in the recording studio through the glass as if they had discovered a rare treasure, but at the same time they could not hide their regret for missing out on a good singer.
Because they knew that with Ye Yan's current achievements as an actor, he would definitely not pursue the path of a singer. At most, they would ask him to sing a few more OSTs, which would not be considered a waste of his good voice.
Because he learned things quickly, he could record songs very quickly. He could finish a song in three hours that others would take a day to record.
Not only did the recording engineer applaud him, but even the famous musician and composer expressed his desire to work with him again.
If he had been praised like this in the past, he would have been happy and proud, but now, he seemed to have inexplicably lost some sense of satisfaction with the praise from the outside world.
He knew why, because his unsuccessful love life made him a little depressed.
He saw the message in which Xu Qingran questioned him. Obviously, Xu Qingran didn't seem to understand why he was like this.
"He made me not know how to respond to him, Xiaorui. He seems to be a real idiot."
Ye Yan looked at his phone and complained to Xiao Rui that he had given all his patience in this life to Xu Qingran, but Xu Qingran seemed to have no patience to calm down and think carefully, and was still obsessed with the superficial contradictions.
As one of the witnesses of their relationship, Xiao Rui knew about their relationship earlier than Tan Zhuoxi. She couldn't believe that the love-brained and wife-doting man had now fallen from grace.
"I told you there was something wrong with him, but you didn't believe me."
Xiao Rui pointed at her head again with a look of disgust on her face.
In fact, she was quite satisfied with Xu Qingran, her "brother-in-law". He was handsome, rich and considerate. His only shortcoming was that he had a gap with her parents.
So Ye Yan's appearance did not cause conflicts between them, but deepened them. Unfortunately, Ye Yan hated dealing with conflicts.
Maybe, Ye Yan secretly agreed with Xiao Rui's words. Xu Qingran, like him, had an unhappy childhood. His obsession was family and love, while Xu Qingran's obsession was dreams.
He can still get back some of his family and love now, but once he misses his dream, he will never be able to catch it again.
Thinking of this, Ye Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Qingran, but Xu Qingran's way of handling the situation completely hit his sore spot.
"His parents may not support us, but they must not bully me. If he can't even solve this problem, he's not the Xu Qingran I know..."
Ye Yan was determined, his handsome features filled with stubbornness and reluctance.
How could such a sunny and humorous sports assistant disappear? Ye Yan really wanted to see him again and return to his side.
"Hello, boss. My name is Xu Qingran, and I'm here to interview your assistant."
"Hehe~ It's just an umbrella, we're just getting started..."
Now when I think back on it it seems like it happened a few days ago, but when I look at the calendar it turns out it was the year before last.
