Chapter 17 She is naturally good.

This meeting with investors made many people certain that Songjian Media was going to promote someone, but they were curious about how Shen Zhiyi was chosen by Songjian Media.

"Zhiyi," Guo Ting was shocked when he learned that the script had been modified. He never expected that the beneficiary this time would be Shen Zhiyi. Why didn't she tell him earlier that she had such a backer?
"Do you know Mr. Qin from Songjian Media?"

Songjian Media is an old entertainment company. After Qin Fangru took office, he rarely signed new people, and there is no news that he has actively promoted anyone. This sudden investment in the crew has caused a lot of discussion in the circle.

"I don't know him," Shen Zhiyi told the truth. She really didn't know Qin Fangru.

"Hey, why don't you tell me the truth?" Guo Ting smiled meaningfully. "If you have a good relationship with Mr. Qin, what resources can't you get? Tell me the truth, how much does Mr. Qin care about you?"

Is it just a casual play on a whim, or are you planning to give her more benefits?
Shen Zhiyi heard the hidden meaning in his words and knew what he was planning without thinking. If she really had President Qin as her backer, he and the company would try to win her over again, so as to get close to Qin Fangru and attract investment for the company.

"Before we talk about that, I have something else to talk to you about."

Guo Ting wanted to coax her to tell him everything, and his attitude was unusually good. He nodded repeatedly when he heard her say, "Okay, go ahead."

Shen Zhiyi took out the documents that had been prepared long ago from her bag, raised her eyes and looked directly at the other party, saying in a flat tone, "I want to terminate the contract."

"Cancel...cancel the contract?"

There was indeed a termination document on the table, with all the rules and regulations clearly written out.

Guo Ting didn't expect that she would have this trick. He laughed instead of being angry, his expression turned sinister, "Shen Zhiyi, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have a sponsor? You still have half a month left on your contract with the company. You can't leave even if you miss one day. You want to terminate the contract? No way!"

His voice was loud and aggressive, but Shen Zhiyi was not frightened by his strong attitude. He just pointed at the document on the table and said, "My income in the past few years in the company is 30% to 70%, 70% to the company and 30% to me. Even so, there are still several advertising endorsement fees that have not been deposited into my account. This is one of them."

She listed them one by one with a blank expression, "The company signed contracts for me without my knowledge. There are a total of five drama contracts that the company signed in my name. This is the second one."

"As an actor of the company, the company has an obligation to help me with public relations and maintain my image, but not only did you not do that, you also bribed marketing accounts to fabricate false facts and attack me personally. This is the third point."

Shen Zhiyi said calmly, "Do you want me to continue?"

"The company broke the contract and did nothing first. Is there a problem with me terminating the contract?"

"Shen Zhiyi," Guo Ting gritted his teeth, "You're still quite fussy. The company signed the contract for you to help you along your acting career, and the endorsement fee they didn't give you was just temporarily withheld. As for buying marketing accounts to discredit you? What evidence do you have?"

He warned in a deep voice, "Don't try to go against the company. You will suffer the consequences. Just be honest and spend the next half month."

Shen Zhiyi sneered, having already anticipated the scene when the contract was terminated in half a month. "When the news of the termination comes out, will you slander me as the party at fault?"

She was already well aware of the company's methods.

"So you have made up your mind to forcibly terminate the contract with the company?"

Guo Ting curled his lips sarcastically, "Just relying on Qin Fangru behind you?"

Shen Zhiyi turned his head away and said, "It has nothing to do with President Qin."

Even if there was someone behind her, that person should be named Pei - I wonder if his overseas business negotiations were going smoothly? Has he already forgotten about her and calmed down?
"Shen Zhiyi, let me give you one last piece of advice. Even if someone supports you, it won't be easy for you to terminate your contract with the company. The company's legal department is not there for free. I want to see who dares to take your case."

"Don't worry about it."

Shen Zhiyi stood up and said, "After all, you are just an employee, so don't act like a bully here."

"Shen Zhiyi!"

People have gone far.

Perhaps they wanted to teach her a lesson, so soon the company's legal lawyer came to see Shen Zhiyi, and they came to the crew on purpose, clearly wanting to make a big deal out of it and let outsiders see the fun. Liao Yuan blocked the eyes of others prying over here, "Do you really want to terminate the contract with the company? Can't you wait a little longer?"

It’s only been half a month.

Shen Zhiyi shook his head. He had become familiar with this golden screenwriter over the past few days and spoke more casually. "I have passed the audition for Mirror. If I want to act in this play, I must terminate my contract with the company first, otherwise the company will not agree."

It was only a matter of time before she terminated her contract with the company. The company knew that she was determined to leave and would never let her get her wish. On the contrary, the company would find ways to use the termination of the contract to continue attacking her and sever all ties with her.

Liao Yuan was surprised, "So you are the heroine that Director Meng likes. I was curious about where he found this gem."

"In that case, have you found a lawyer?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhiyi received a message on her phone that the lawyer she had an appointment with suddenly could not refuse to come.

It goes without saying that it is the company that is putting pressure on us.

Shen Zhiyi did not hesitate and planned to continue contacting other lawyers. At this time, Secretary Qin suddenly gave her a lawyer's business card.

"Ms. Shen, if you have any questions, please contact this lawyer."

Was it arranged by Pei Yu? How did he know that I just needed a reliable lawyer?

The company's lawyer was urging her, but Shen Zhiyi didn't have time to ask Secretary Qin, so she contacted the lawyer directly.

——She knew she couldn’t refuse Pei Yu’s kindness, even though she had many reasons to refuse.

The lawyer came quickly and got straight to the point after briefly looking through the documents.

"This company probably didn't do this for the first time. They handled the details very well. If you want to sue them, it may not be that easy. They will take the opportunity to delay until the normal termination time, thereby preventing you from signing with a new crew."

Shen Zhiyi placed a recorder on the table. "I have evidence that the company forced me to take on the role and deliberately delayed paying the advertising fee."

She was not a fool. The way the company treated her had long made her want to terminate the contract, but she had always been concerned about Huo Heng.

"It will be easy if we have evidence," the lawyer said with a relaxed smile, "It's not worth the time to fight a lawsuit. It's more important for you to join the new crew. We can use this to negotiate with them."

There are so many cases of company breach of contract, and exposing just a few of them would cause public outrage. I think they understand this.

Thanks to the recorder and the lawyer's excellent negotiating skills, things went exceptionally smoothly.

After the meeting, Shen Zhiyi sent the lawyer out, "Thank you for coming to help me out of this urgent situation."

The lawyer smiled and said, "It's my job."

He is Pei's lawyer and has fought countless lawsuits, big and small, but this is the first time he has been involved in the entertainment industry.

He reported the situation to his boss and added, "Ms. Shen is very smart. Without her evidence, this case would be much more difficult."

Due to the time difference, it was already late at night outside the window. Pei Yu held the telephone receiver with a lazy posture.

"Of course she is good."

There is nothing wrong with him except that I don't like him.
