But what?

Ordinary people would definitely ask this question, but Li Xingchen did not follow common sense. It was as if he did not hear the malice in Zhou Qiang's words, and just looked at Zhou Qiang in silence.

Zhou Qiang waited for a while but didn't wait for Li Xingchen's inquiry. He looked up and saw Li Xingchen's teasing eyes. He was asking for trouble, so he felt a little annoyed and stopped pretending:

"The liquidated damages are 13 million, give me the money and leave!"

I don't believe you can take it out!

Although the last half of the sentence was not spoken, Zhou Qiang's meaning was very obvious.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Qiang knew better than Li Xingchen how much money Li Xingchen had in his pocket. Let alone thirteen million, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get out thirteen hundred yuan at this time.

"Thirteen million liquidated damages?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. Before he came, he knew that Zhou Qiang would be a big talker, but he didn't expect that this man's appetite was much bigger than he thought.

"That's right." Thinking that Li Xingchen was frightened by this number, Zhou Qiang looked proud and wanted to leave? It depends on whether he agrees or not!

"As far as I know, the contract we signed was not like this." Contracts in the entertainment industry are indeed very unfair to artists. The signing fee is not much but the liquidated damages are terrifyingly high. Li Xingchen's contract is no exception, but even if

That's right, it's not as exaggerated as thirteen million.

The liquidated damages of 13 million are already enough to be considered as a second-tier artist. Li Xingchen is not even a 180-tier artist, let alone an 18th-tier artist.

"Single termination of the contract is indeed not that high," Zhou Qiang answered very readily this time, obviously having prepared his words, "But don't forget, those jobs you turned down a few days ago also require liquidated damages.

The total adds up to no more and no less, just thirteen million!”

"If I remember correctly," Li Xingchen leaned back and leaned directly on the back of his chair, "In the contract we signed, you promised to give me two male number three and above roles every year, and one third and above.

The endorsement of the above brands, a variety show...you haven't done any of these, have you?"

The original person is indeed a bit stupid, but he is very stubborn when it comes to money. After all, Li Xingtong's place can be said to be a bottomless pit, and there is no room for him to relax.

The reason why I signed a contract with Zhou Qiang was because Zhou Qiang promised many benefits. Now that I have signed a contract with Zhou Qiang for two years, Zhou Qiang has long forgotten the original promise. Li Xingchen also asked about it at first, but later Zhou Qiang said, "I didn't give in."

"You make less money" was dismissed.

The original person was also convinced by this argument. After all, he entered the entertainment industry to pay for his sister's medical expenses. The medical expenses were enough, and the original person did not care about other details.

"What? Do you still want to say that I broke the contract?" Zhou Qiang sneered in his heart. Li Xingchen was still too naive. In the twists and turns of the entertainment industry, how can a contract make it clear?

"According to the relevant regulations of China, you have indeed caused a breach of contract," Li Xingchen nodded. He had not done anything these days. He at least studied the relevant laws of China. "I can unconditionally terminate the contract and demand

You pay the penalty."

Another question was brought up:

"As for the work that was stopped a few days ago, you took it over without my consent. This is also inconsistent with China's regulations, so I should not pay the liquidated damages."

Speaking of this, Li Xingchen couldn't help but admire the perfection of Chinese law, and the Master was very satisfied with this.

"You want me to pay liquidated damages?" Zhou Qiang seemed to have heard some joke, "I think you don't want to hang out in the circle anymore!"

Although Tiancheng Entertainment is not a big entertainment company, Zhou Qiang is the most powerful agent in Tiancheng Entertainment and is also the vice president of Tiancheng Entertainment. Although he is not a big shot in the entertainment industry, he can still speak his mind and ban Li Xingchen.

It can be said that being an artist in the coffee industry is easy.

"I had no intention of staying in this circle." Unexpectedly, Li Xingchen was not threatened at all, and instead nodded in agreement.

"Whether you want to hang out or not," Zhou Qiang was a little annoyed by Li Xingchen's indifferent attitude, "Thirteen million, not a penny less!"

"Are you planning to be unreasonable?" Li Xingchen didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be such a rogue, so he narrowed his eyes.

"I just won't reason with you today," Zhou Qiang snorted coldly, "What do you want? Don't forget that your contract has eight years left. Even if you don't work in the entertainment industry, I don't believe you won't do it in these eight years.

find a job!"

According to China's regulations, contracts in the entertainment industry are also a type of labor contract. In other words, if Li Xingchen does not terminate the contract with Tiancheng Entertainment, he will not be able to sign new labor contracts with other companies in the future.

In other words, before the contract expires, Li Xingchen can only work as a temporary worker in another company. This is why Li Xingchen decided to terminate the contract first after studying the Chinese laws.

"Since you are so unreasonable," Li Xingchen felt helpless and sighed slightly, "then I have no choice but to be unreasonable."

"What?" Zhou Qiang didn't understand what Li Xingchen meant.

But he didn't need to figure it out, because Li Xingchen's next actions told Zhou Qiang what it means to be unreasonable.

"What are you doing!"

Zhou Qiang scolded him sternly, but despite his current state, it was hard to be frightened.

Zhou Qiang had no idea that Li Xingchen would do such a thing. This completely subverted his understanding. In his impression, Li Xingchen was a coward who couldn't even say a harsh word after being slapped.

.

Although Li Xingchen behaved much differently today than before, he had always been polite from the moment he entered the door, so Zhou Qiang didn't think much about it until he was knocked to the ground by Li Xingchen just now.

Even in the entertainment industry, Zhou Qiang has never seen anyone who fell out of love as quickly as Li Xingchen, no! Li Xingchen hasn't even fallen out yet, and even now, Li Xingchen still has a faint smile on his face.

But no one dares to underestimate this person if he is knocked to the ground and trampled under his feet by someone with such a smile.

"Are you trying to surrender? You are delusional!" The pain in his body made Zhou Qiang's whole body become a little distorted, and he kept writhing on the ground.

Submission becomes a move...

Li Xingchen was disgusted by Zhou Qiang's word choice, but he didn't intend to use violence to solve the matter. As for why he wanted to beat Zhou Qiang first? Of course, because he wanted to!

After tapping the large acupoints around Zhou Qiang's body a few times, Li Xingchen slowly sat down opposite Zhou Qiang:

"I'm actually curious, don't you have nightmares at night?"

"What did you do to me?" Zhou Qiang felt pain all over his body after Li Xingchen tapped him a few times.

That kind of pain was like crushing all the bones in the body. He wanted to scream out, but couldn't. Before Zhou Qiang wanted to understand why he felt like this, he heard Li Xingchen's words.

, I was immediately startled.

"With three lives on your back, don't you have nightmares at night?" Li Xingchen slowly tapped the armrests of the chair with his fingers, looking down at the man rolling on the floor.

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Upon hearing Li Xingchen's words, a trace of panic and guilt flashed across Zhou Qiang's face, which was then replaced by pain.

"I think you will have nightmares," Li Xingchen said slowly as if he didn't hear Zhou Qiang's denial, "after all, they are all looking at you."

"Nonsense!" Although he retorted, Zhou Qiang's eyes were filled with fear, and he couldn't even care about the pain all over his body.

Although what he has done over the years cannot be said to be flawless, it is not something that just anyone can know. Moreover, after the accident, he tried his best to clean up the situation. Li Xingchen didn't even know himself at that time, how could he know those things?

"They are all under eighteen years old, don't you feel guilty?" Li Xingchen looked down at Zhou Qiang, and then glanced behind Zhou Qiang, as if he really saw something.

"You..." After hearing this, Zhou Qiang also had a suspicion in his heart, and he glanced in the direction of Li Xingchen's eyes in surprise.

I don't know if it was Zhou Qiang's illusion, but he just felt cold all over at this moment, as if he was being watched by someone.

"Pfft--" Seeing that Zhou Qiang was a little convinced, Li Xingchen laughed out loud and looked at Zhou Qiang with some humor, "You don't really believe what I said, do you?"

Zhou Qiang didn't say anything, but looked at Li Xingchen warily. He knew the specific ages of those people, and even if they weren't as eloquent as Li Xingchen said, he at least knew a little bit about the inside story.

"Tell me, are your opponents interested in your past?" Li Xingchen touched his chin and began to think, "For example, Mr. Zhao from Starlight, Mr. Liu from Qunxing..."

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Qiang seemed to have forgotten the pain in his body. Looking at Li Xingchen who looked calm, his back was already wet with cold sweat.

Li Xingchen counted out several people in one breath, all of whom had nothing to do with Zhou Qiang. If he knew what Zhou Qiang had done before, he would never let go of this opportunity to beat Zhou Qiang to death in one breath.

Unlike a powerless person like Li Xingchen, in Zhou Qiang's position, he only needs a hint of suspicion and a clue to dig deeper. Even if he cannot completely restore the truth, he can at least find some clues.

"I told you," Li Xingchen spread his hands and said in a helpless tone, "I want to terminate the contract."

"How do I know you won't go out and talk nonsense after you terminate the contract?" Even at this point, Zhou Qiang was unwilling to admit the "three lives" Li Xingchen said just now, and only said that Li Xingchen was talking nonsense.

"I can't guarantee this," Li Xingchen said as soon as he finished speaking, he received a look from Zhou Qiang that wanted to kill someone, but the Imperial Master didn't mind at all, "But besides trusting me, do you have any other options?"

"You..." Zhou Qiang looked at Li Xingchen and wanted to refute, but found that there was no way to refute.

"Whether I will say I don't know after the contract is terminated," Li Xingchen held his chin in one hand with a slightly innocent expression on his face, "but if the contract is not terminated today, then I will definitely not be able to control my mouth."

"Okay!" Zhou Qiang gritted his teeth and finally squeezed out two words, "Termination!"

"But I can't afford that much liquidated damages," Li Xingchen looked a little embarrassed, "How about forget it..."

"No need!" Zhou Qiang quickly interrupted Li Xingchen's next words, "No need for liquidated damages!"

"Really?" Li Xingchen looked at Zhou Qiang in surprise, as if he didn't believe it.

"As you said, Tiancheng Entertainment has not fully abided by the contract. How can we ask for liquidated damages from you again?" Zhou Qiang gritted his teeth and nodded quickly. He just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible.

Li Xingchen stood up and untied the acupoints on Zhou Qiang's body, then casually placed the contract termination letter prepared early in the morning in front of Zhou Qiang: "Then please sign it, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Qiang took a quick glance at the contract and found that Li Xingchen did not put forward any stringent conditions, but only a simple letter of termination. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signed his name on it, somewhat impatiently.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Li Xingchen saw Zhou Qiang's actions and nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Zhou is indeed a reasonable person."

At this time, the "reasonable" in Li Xingchen's mouth seemed extremely ironic in Zhou Qiang's ears.

But when he thought of what Li Xingchen had just done, Zhou Qiang did not dare to say anything more and could only grit his teeth and agree: "Of course."

"Thank you for taking care of me in the past, Mr. Zhou," Li Xingchen picked up the contract termination letter and stood up from the chair, "If the mountains remain green and the waters will flow, we will be... indefinite."

After giving Zhou Qiang a meaningful look behind him, Li Xingchen turned around neatly and left Zhou Qiang's office.

After leaving the office, Li Xingchen went to the bathroom first, looked in the mirror for a while, and then slowly said:
Chapter completed!
