Chapter 1398 1500. Reciprocity
Wei Changhong was in a dilemma for a moment, but still made a decision.
"Duoduo, I will help you cover up the company. You'd better tell your brother about this as soon as possible. I believe he can help you solve it well. Don't go up against the company yourself. "
"Sister Changhong, don't worry, I won't conflict with the company. And this time I'm bothering you. I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Okay, then I will remember this meal." Wei Changhong said with a smile, this was her choice.
She has actually taken over HELLOGIRLS for less than a month. The previous manager of HELLOGIRLS has resigned and joined Fanxing Group. It is said that she has become the deputy director of the idol planning department of Fanxing Group, specifically responsible for the training of trainees.
And she was just filling in temporarily.
Besides, HELLOGIRLS only has six months left. When the group disbands, she, as a manager, will be in a very awkward position.
The worst thing was that the girl group was disbanded and she lost her job. After all, the artists she had previously led had been handed over to new managers. In this case, she could only find new talents and start from scratch.
It would be so painful if that were the case.
It's like a newcomer in the workplace has finally become a team leader. However, due to a temporary adjustment of the company, he has to start from the new position. This is a cruel blow to both the career and the individual.
What's better is that after these girls are disbanded, she can become the exclusive manager of one of them.
However, the achievements of the girls also vary from high to low. Even though they are all in the same group, the gap between them is actually very different.
Take the worst off, for example, their income in the past year and a half may only be seven digits, and some may not even be seven digits.
But the most popular members can earn over eight figures.
The manager's income is also linked to the artist's income. If the artist makes money, the manager will naturally earn more. If the artist earns less, the manager will naturally make less.
What's more, there are some hidden benefits behind this, such as remuneration. Popular artists receive much attention and care wherever they go, and have the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. As for those with low popularity, their remuneration is naturally higher. Worse.
Therefore, Wei Changhong also has her own small thoughts. She is now showing favor to Zhou Duoduo to prepare for the dissolution of the girl group in the future. With Zhou Duoduo's current popularity and background, she has the right to choose her own agent.
After Zhou Duoduo hung up the phone, Xiang Yixing asked worriedly: "Duoduo, did something happen?"
Hearing this, Xu Lili, the new roommate from the Northeast, also approached Zhou Duoduo with a concerned look on her face.
Han Xiaojiao on the side seemed unconcerned, but her ears were perked up and her attention was obviously on Zhou Duoduo.
"It's okay, my agent just asked me about something. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about tomorrow's schoolwork. Xiang Yixing, you are the heroine." Zhou Duoduo had a relaxed smile on her face, and she still didn't forget. Reminder' Xiang Yixing.
As soon as he heard the word "schoolwork", Xiang Yixing had a distressed expression on his face.
"Oh, really, why are you bringing this up? Do you want me to have a good sleep?"
"It's over, I think I also had a nightmare at night, how can I fix this?" Xu Lili was also worried about the same problem, and she also had a share in tomorrow's schoolwork.
After a while, Zhou Duoduo left the dormitory building on the pretext of going to the canteen to buy toothpaste, and found a remote place to call Nie Wei.
The call was quickly connected, and Nie Wei's somewhat lazy voice came from the other side: "Sister, what's the matter?"
"Brother, I was bullied." Zhou Duoduo said aggrievedly when she heard Nie Wei's voice.
"Who is it?" Nie Wei was not angry, but curious. After all, he had not seen many people who could bully Zhou Duoduo. Which hero dared to offend his sister?
"He's not that bad guy, Boss Wang." Zhou Duoduo complained without hesitation: "This guy actually wants me to go back to work in the company and won't let me continue going to school."
"Is that so? Lao Wang is a bit out of character. Okay, leave this matter to me. You can go to class with peace of mind." Nie Wei replied with a smile, her tone was not worried at all.
But Zhou Duoduo was unsure. My brother was very powerful, but he was an artist of Huayi after all.
Now that I am no longer the major shareholder of Huayi, all the people who belong to me in the company have changed jobs. Is there anything I can do to help myself?
Zhou Duoduo felt that if she didn't understand this, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Hey, what's the matter? I gave you the contract originally, and I left a few clauses in it. In short, it's good for you. Don't worry." Nie Wei didn't say anything specific, because there was no need to explain in detail. Waste this time, just let Zhou Duoduo know that this is the case.
When Zhou Duoduo heard this, she immediately felt relieved and quickly praised Nie Wei for his foresight.
Feeling happy, Zhou Duoduo raided the canteen and returned to the dormitory carrying 200 yuan worth of snacks. She was warmly welcomed by her roommates.
After Nie Wei hung up the call with Zhou Duoduo on the other side, Shu Chang, who was sitting next to him, asked, "Did Boss Wang bully Duoduo?"
Nie Wei smiled and briefly explained the matter to Shu Chang.
After listening, Shu Chang smiled disdainfully: "Brother Zhonglei is a little narrow-minded. He doesn't vent his anger on the main person, but on the little girl. Nie Wei, you should just leave Huayi."
"But can Duoduo's contract really be resolved?" Shu Chang asked.
"Well, it's easy. At the beginning, I actually felt that the cooperation with Boss Wang would not last long, so I had been prepared for this. Since Duoduo joined the new group, I changed her to a two-year contract, which was the same as the group's years. At that time, Boss Wang only thought it was a contract to increase her salary."
"In addition, the contract also stipulates that the company cannot force artists to work. For example, further study and learning are all prioritized over work. As long as Jingdian issues a certificate that Zhou Duoduo is studying in school, Huayi must respect Zhou Duoduo's willingness to study according to the contract."
"Can artists sign such a contract?" Shu Chang's eyes widened, feeling incredible.
"My sister can." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
When Shu Chang heard the contents of this contract, she felt envious from the bottom of her heart. You know, even the contract she signed at her peak did not have such free conditions as this contract.
Let’s not talk about the profit sharing treatment for now. Just the clause that learning takes precedence over work is probably the first one in the entertainment industry.
You know, no matter how high the status of an artist is, if he does not become a capital party, he is actually just a wage earner.
Since he is a wage earner, the first priority is naturally work.
The status can only determine the freedom and length of your rest time, but it cannot take precedence over the work itself. After all, the company signs an artist to make money from work and bring in profits. Shu Chang is powerless to complain about the clause that learning takes precedence over work.
She suddenly wanted to see Boss Wang’s reaction after knowing these terms. That scene must be quite exciting.
The next morning, Boss Wang met Fanxing’s lawyer team, among which there were even many old faces. However, before he could catch up with the past, Boss Wang’s face turned black.
Because these guys came to discuss with him with Zhou Duoduo’s contract.
"Boss Wang, your request for Ms. Zhou Duoduo to return to work in the company is not in line with the content of the signed contract. Look at this one, and this one..., these all stipulate that Ms. Zhou Duoduo has the priority to learn."
"What do you mean by this?"
"The contract stipulates that we must protect the rights and interests of Ms. Zhou Duoduo."
Boss Wang looked gloomily at the lawyers beside him, and one of them shook his head at Boss Wang with an unpleasant expression.
Boss Wang knew that it was over.
"Boss Nie is really calculating. I wonder if you guys contributed to this contract in the first place." Boss Wang looked coldly at those familiar faces. These were originally lawyers of his Huayi, and they were also elites in Huayi's lawyer group, but now they all jumped to Fanxing Group.
Shen Yan, the leader of Fanxing Lawyers Group, did not show anger because of Boss Wang's questioning. Instead, he still smiled like a spring breeze and replied: "Boss Wang, I remind you that you are the one who signed this contract in the end."
Boss Wang's face became darker. This was the fundamental reason for his anger. He was actually angry with himself.
When signing the contract, he only noticed the improvement in treatment, and thought that Nie Wei wanted to give his sister a good treatment, so he didn't look at it at all, and didn't even look at the contract period.
But after reading the contract carefully today, he found that the contract was only for two years. That's not all. There are many clauses that are very unfavorable to Huayi, giving artists great freedom. Even if Zhou Duoduo is unwilling to work, Huayi will support her for free until the end of the contract.
And the breach of contract conditions also made him angry. Zhou Duoduo has the right to terminate the contract at any time, and only needs to pay a liquidated damages of one million. This number seems to be a lot, but with Zhou Duoduo's current income, she doesn't even need to rely on Nie Wei for anything. Her income of less than a month is enough to pay.
On the other hand, if Huayi breaches the contract in advance, it will have to pay Zhou Duoduo 5 million as compensation for interrupting Zhou Duoduo's performing arts plan. This number hurts Boss Wang's eyes and hurts Boss Wang's heart. He feels that he has to pay an IQ tax.
"Good, very good, very good." Leaving these three words, Boss Wang left the meeting room with a gloomy face.
Zhou Duoduo's contract obviously made it impossible for him to control this woman.
In addition to anger, he was actually more afraid. Nie Wei could leave such a big loophole in Zhou Duoduo's contract, so what about the contracts of other artists?
Boss Wang didn't dare to think about it anymore. What he wanted to do most now was to screen all the contracts of all the artists in the company.
Wei Changhong was a little confused. Last night, the boss specially called her to the company and told her to ask Zhou Duoduo to return to the company to work. For this reason, she thought about how to prevaricate Boss Wang all night, but the first message she received today was to temporarily suspend Zhou Duoduo's return to the company to work.
Wei Changhong thought about it for most of the night, but it was useless.
However, Wei Changhong didn't feel much regret, but was relieved. Her ideal state was like this now. The boss took the initiative to give in, so she didn't have to be caught in the middle.
But she was also very curious. You know, Boss Wang's attitude yesterday was so eager that he wanted her to catch Zhou Duoduo from the campus and bring her back to the company at that time. How could Boss Wang's attitude change in just one night?
After thinking about it, Wei Changhong felt that if he wanted to know the answer, he should start with Zhou Duoduo.
When Wei Changhong informed Zhou Duoduo, she asked the question in her heart.
"Haha, I don't know. Maybe Boss Wang has a change of heart. Sister Changhong, are you free this weekend? Do you want to have dinner together?" Zhou Duoduo didn't say much. She said vaguely and then offered to treat him.
Although Wei Changhong didn't do much in this matter, she was very satisfied with the other party's attitude last night. In Zhou Duoduo's mind, a trustworthy agent, in addition to strong ability, is most important for which side the heart is inclined to. And Wei Changhong's performance yesterday showed that his heart was obviously inclined to her side.
So Zhou Duoduo also planned to get closer to this new agent. After all, there are still six months to get along with each other, and after the group disbands, Zhou Duoduo will also find an exclusive agent for herself, and this Wei Changhong can also be included in her inspection list.
Wei Changhong was very happy when she heard that Zhou Duoduo wanted to treat her to dinner. She thought Zhou Duoduo was just being polite yesterday.
"Duoduo, you are going to treat us. I will make time for you no matter how busy I am. Please call me on Friday and let's decide where to go. I will be there on time."
"Okay, sister, what do you like to eat? Send me a text message and I will arrange it."
"I am not picky about food."
After talking about treating for a while, Wei Changhong did not get any useful clues from Zhou Duoduo. As for the company, there was no news either. Boss Wang's attitude change was like a different person.
How could she know that Boss Wang was now dumb and bitter.
The problem of Zhou Duoduo's contract was a major mistake made by Boss Wang. If it was announced, it would definitely be a big joke. Boss Wang would definitely be labeled as "stupid".
The key is that Boss Wang is afraid of the board's questioning. After all, artists of Zhou Duoduo's level can be regarded as the company's "precious assets". Now because of Boss Wang's stupidity, the company has lost such a precious asset. Boss Wang will definitely not have an easy time in the board meeting at that time. Maybe the prestige he has just established will plummet.
So he can't say anything about Zhou Duoduo's contract problem, and he dare not say anything. He can only swallow his broken teeth.
Boss Wang secretly muttered bad things about Nie Wei in his heart, thinking that this person's heart is black, and he actually dug such a big pit waiting for him to jump in. On the other hand, Nie Wei was also thinking about how to trip up Boss Wang. After all, it is impolite not to return the favor.
