Chapter 586: Unfair Contract Terms
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The god-level composer Jiang Shanyi was well-known in the industry.
When Yan Xi was at the peak of his fame, many people were lured to work as his assistant because they wanted to work with Jiang Shanyi.
How could the President of Star Entertainment not be greedy?Unfortunately, things were different in the Star Entertainment internal management team and even the President didn’t dare to provoke Yan Xi, alone trying to contact the figurehead behind him.
But things were different now.
Qin Ran’s and Jiang Shanyi’s identities were well-known. When the Yunguang Consortium publicly dissed Qin Ran, the news spread like wildfire on the internet, and public opinion was controlled by the Yunguang Consortium.
Weibo was filled with posts dragging Qin Ran down.
Hundreds of millions of anti-fans were very frightening.
In Beijing, even the four main families couldn’t compare to the Yunguang Consortium.
This was how the entertainment industry operated. It was fickle and catered to those in power.Yan Xi had already signed the variety show contract. His EQ wasn’t high, but he knew that Boss Wang was right this time. He didn’t want to trouble Boss Wang and Qin Ran further.
So, he just decided to sign the contract.
However, when the President of Star Entertainment mentioned Qin Ran, his grip tightened around the pen, and he raised his head. As he didn’t sleep for several days, he wasn’t in a good mood. “It’s impossible.”
“This isn’t something you can refuse! Don’t forget how you became popular in the first place. If it weren’t for the talent show held by the company, do you think you’d be here today? We’re just asking for Jiang Shanyi to compose one song for her! How dare you show me such an attitude?” The President of Star Entertainment slammed the table.
“President, don’t be angry. I’ll talk to Yan Xi about it…” Boss Wang smiled and tried to calm the President down before pulling Yan Xi outside.
He succinctly told him two sentences.
In the office.
The secretary looked at the President of Star Entertainment. “President, is it okay to be so insistent? Although the Yunguang Consortium has nothing to do with Jiang Shanyi anymore, the Xu family still has Beijing University…”
His secretary was a little worried.
“What problem can there be? If she’s so powerful, then why is everyone on the Internet dissing her? The entire Asian IT market is in the hands of the Yunguang Consortium. You’ll know if you see the latest online public opinion. Let’s see if Yan Xi dares to refuse. If he does, he will breach a contract that requires him more than ten lifetimes to pay back.” The President of Star Entertainment lit a cigarette and said mysteriously, “A Yunguang Consortium’s insider has given me this news. That Qin Ran is really done for.”
He then looked at Jiang Xu. “Baby, don’t worry. I will definitely get Jiang Shanyi to make you as popular as Yan Xi.”
The two talked.
After some time, Boss Wang and Yan Xi walked in after a discussion.
“Have you decided?” The President smiled and looked at Yan Xi.
“Yes,” Boss Wang said. Yan Xi stood behind Boss Wang and didn’t make a sound. “President, you should know that God Jiang Shanyi and Yan Xi don’t have a contract. We can’t force the Great God if she doesn’t want to participate.”
The President’s face darkened.
Boss Wang continued to smile. “I know you want to promote Jiang Xu. I have discussed with Yan Xi, and we think that the songs don’t have to be composed by God Jiang Shanyi herself. Yan Xi can also help Jiang Xu by being her mentor, and she can debut as his tutee. They can be seen together and gain popularity together. You should know that Yan Xi is the king of engagement in the entertainment industry, second only to Film Emperor Qin. With him, there’s no need to worry about Jiang Xu. Of course, if you aren’t satisfied, Yan Xi can participate in two more variety shows.”
When Boss Wang heard this, his heart bled.
Yan Xi was indeed a rare singer in the entertainment circle.
He always had a clean reputation.
If he had an unclear relationship with a female artiste, not only would his popularity suddenly drop, he would also gain many anti-fans.
However, Boss Wang had no choice.
Look for Qin Ran? Ask Qin Ran to compose a song for Jiang Xu?
Jiang Xu was musically illiterate and talentless.
She wasn’t worthy!
Furthermore, Qin Ran initially composed for Yan Xi for free.
If Qin Ran and Yan Xi both gave in and agreed, who knew whether the President of Star Entertainment would demand more and ask them to compose songs for his lousy girl group?
Boss Wang’s remarks completely addressed the President’s true intentions.
No one in the entertainment industry was stupid.
Since Yan Xi was willing to actively cooperate, it was definitely better than forcing him.
It was very familiar.
The President of Star Entertainment turned around and smiled at Yan Xi. “Please wait for a moment. I will ask my secretary to re-issue a confidential contract. Old Wang, you really understand me.”
Boss Wang also had a relaxed smile on his face.
However, he was clenching his fists tightly on both sides.
There were templates for such agreements, and it took less than two minutes to print a copy.
After a few minutes, the secretary came in with a new contract.
Boss Wang glanced at it. There were many terms on it, including how Yan Xi had to maintain the relationship with Jiang Xu for two years and had to help Jiang Xu compose songs…
The terms were just unfair.
Boss Wang almost wanted to lash out in anger.
However, Yan Xi read it calmly. After that, he picked up a pen and was about to sign it.
Compared to his anger when he heard about Qin Ran, he was extremely calm now.
Just when he was about to finish signing.
A voice came from outside. “I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t go in…”
In the midst of pushing and shouting, the office door was opened.
Yan Xi and Boss Wang glanced at the office door.
Qin Ran took off her baseball cap and walked into the office coldly and confidently.
Yan Xi was taken aback. “Great Master, why are you here?”
Qin Ran didn’t respond. She only walked to Yan Xi’s side and snatched the document that he was holding. “What are you signing?”
