Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 672

Lu Yaqing was eating fried chicken and said, "Do you want some?"

"I'll pass," Luofeng declined.

Luofeng didn't want to comment on food like fried chicken. It's just that everyone has their own opinion. All Luofeng would say was that he didn't like fried chicken, regardless of whether it was healthy or not.

"By the way, you still haven't answered my question from earlier: how long is your contract with your company for?" Luofeng asked.

"Are you thinking of helping me again?" Lu Yaqing questioned in return.

[Ding! Solve Lu Yaqing's trouble!]

[Due to sticking to her principles, Lu Yaqing was not allowed to work by the brokerage company. Please help her solve this issue!]

???? Damn it. This? Does the System really grant my heart's desire? Is this even possible?

"How many years did you sign the contract for with your company, how much time is left? What's the penalty for breaching the contract? And what are the specific terms?" Luofeng asked again.

Lu Yaqing was silent for a few seconds before answering, "I signed a ten-year contract two years ago, so this is the third year. There are probably almost eight years left."

"The penalty for breach of contract is quite steep. If I breach it, it would be around sixty million!" Lu Yaqing said.

"Do you want to see the specific contract?" Lu Yaqing turned to look at Luofeng.

Luofeng nodded, "Mm-hm, I've heard that contracts in your industry often have issues that could render them invalid. I'd like to take a look. If there really is a problem, I'll help you deal with it!"

To be honest, even if the breach of contract fee was sixty million, Luofeng could afford to pay it. But was Luofeng the type to be a fool with his money?

"Just a moment!"

Saying this, Lu Yaqing stood up. First, she went to the restroom to wash her greasy hands. Only then did she go to her room and find the contract.

As for Luofeng, what did he know about law? But in Luofeng's Moments Circle, he had an abundance of such resources, like Wen Tao from Tianyu Company, for instance. During his and Su Ya's previous visit to Tianyu Film and Television Company, the two had exchanged contact information.

Luofeng glanced over Lu Yaqing's contract, took photos of the compensation and breach of contract sections, and sent them to Wen Tao.

"Wen Tao, check this contract for me, would you? Is it legal?"

As soon as Luofeng sent the message, the other party responded immediately.

"Mr. Luo, I recognize which film and television company this contract is from."

"You can tell which company it is just by looking at the contract?" Luofeng was surprised.

But considering they were in the same line of work, it seemed quite normal.

"Haha, there are no secrets in the industry," Wen Tao messaged. "Moreover, nearly all contracts with Newlyweds in the industry are illegal. However, if Newlyweds want to make it, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and sign! After all, brokerage companies need to invest a lot of resources early on and are unsure if Newlyweds will become popular. Hence, brokerage companies' signing conditions are very harsh. These terms are the same across the industry!"

Luofeng: If we wanted to terminate the contract, do you have any good suggestions?

Luofeng understood what Wen Tao meant. The other party was implying that this was an unwritten rule in the industry. Even if it were illegal, both the brokerage companies and the artists had to tacitly adhere to these conventions. Thus, if it exists, it's justified. If Luofeng were to force the issue into the open and expose the problem to the light, he might indeed win, but he would inevitably offend a large group of people in the industry. There was no need for that. Luofeng's principle in handling matters was to unite more people, offend fewer, and thus safely continue being a backstage big shot.

Like now, his inquiry to Wen Tao for a solution was because Wen Tao was an insider. He should have a good way to handle such a situation.

"Mr. Luo, are you trying to poach someone from this brokerage company?"

From Luofeng calling Wen Tao by his first name directly in their chat, the significant gap in their statuses was clear. Though Wen Tao was an old timer in the film industry, that was only in this circle. And what about Luofeng and Su Ya? They were simply untouchable. Such individuals, in which circle did they lack influence? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Hello, Mr. Wen?"

"Yes, hello, Director Wang." Wen Tao got straight to the point, "Director Wang, what exactly is going on with Lu Yaqing, the artist at your company?"

"Ah?" Director Wang was somewhat stunned. "Mr. Wen, are you interested in Lu Yaqing?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare!" Wen Tao quickly shook his head.

From this single sentence, Director Wang gleaned a different meaning. After all, the gap between his company and Wen Tao's was significant. One is a brokerage company that cultivates artists. The other one is a film company. If Wen Tao said he wouldn't dare have any designs on Lu Yaqing, what did that imply? Couldn't he, Director Wang, figure it out?

"Mr. Wen, what exactly is the situation here? Please, you have to help me!" Director Wang's voice now carried a hint of pleading. "Who's behind her?"

"Haha!" Wen Tao wasn't surprised by Director Wang's attitude. "Have you heard about the recent hype surrounding graphene batteries?"

"Of course!" Director Wang gave an affirmative nod.

"And that web series Lu Yaqing was in... the investor? Do you know anything about them?" Wen Tao prompted.

Director Wang truly was an old timer; he caught on immediately. "Thank you, Mr. Wen! By the way, may I ask what exactly the other party wants?"

"I feel like their target is Lu Yaqing. Anyway, they threw her contract at me, questioning its legality. I've managed to hold things up on your behalf for now," Wen Tao explained. "Just between us, this person's background is terrifying. If Lu Yaqing isn't critically important to you, I think it would be best for you to let her go and settle this quietly."

Director Wang hesitated, "Recently, Lu Yaqing has been quite popular, many dramas are looking for her. If we handle Lu Yaqing's situation well, we could..."

In fact, Director Wang didn't dare not to release her. It was just a matter of how to do it. If the other party was simply unhappy with Lu Yaqing not being allowed to work, then they could let her work again, but she would still be part of their company. This was the best solution Director Wang could think of at the moment.

"Sorry, Director Wang, I have something urgent to attend to." Wen Tao didn't waste any more words on Director Wang and directly hung up the call. Doesn't appreciate a favor when he sees one? Then he can just wait and regret it.
