Lin Jiu knew that Si Xu had good intentions, and Si Xu was also teaching him that when necessary, he could use legal weapons to protect himself, and there was no need to be patient and give in.
Si Xu's initiative to help made Lin Jiu more determined in his idea that if "Chuangxing" asked for a high price, he would be willing to terminate the contract through legal means. No matter how much the court ruled, it would not be higher than the price asked by "Chuangxing" itself.
"We'll talk about the attorney fees later."
Si Xu will definitely not ask for my lawyer fees, but I can't say it now. I'm afraid that if I refuse, Lin Jiu will also refuse my help.
Si Xu watched Lin Jiu enter the residential area until he could no longer see him, then he got into the car and left.
After returning home, Lin Jiu opened the super smart kitchen and prepared delicious food while singing.
Lin Jiu no longer suppressed his natural tendency to hum songs at any time, and sang boldly. He put each portion of authentic magic meal into the refrigerator, and set the time to a constant level, so that whenever he took it out, it would look as good as when it was freshly made.
Lin Jiu was busy until late at night, but he was still very excited and didn't feel sleepy at all.
Although she couldn't sing, ever since she turned into a mermaid, she couldn't control her joy when she sang. When she was in a good mood, she couldn't help singing, even if she subconsciously suppressed it, she would still hum.
I have always believed that as long as you don't sing, you won't hear the Siren Song. But then I thought humming can have the same influence. Of course, the influence of humming is much greater than that of singing.
There was a serious problem with the health of the God Si. Lin Jiu was obviously very worried, but because the Siren's song was singing too happily, he couldn't control his emotions.
I rolled around in bed but couldn't fall asleep, so I took out my cell phone to kill time.
I wanted to watch a disaster movie to cool down my emotions, but suddenly I remembered that the "water man" who was criticized by me last time, I wondered what happened to him.
Lin Jiuben logged into Weibo in the mood to quarrel and argue with others, and the air could cool down his emotions. Whether he could sleep well tonight depended on "water".
"Shui" is still alive and well, and is still jumping around amid the ridicule of a group of netizens.
Lin Jiu couldn't help but admire his endurance. His real identity was exposed two days ago, and he was a staff member of an aquarium.
After his identity was revealed, the "water man" did not calm down. Instead, he generously posted the name of the aquarium he was in and welcomed everyone to visit.
There are many people who curse and ridicule him, but there are also many people who are curious and want to go and see what kind of aquarium it is.
Lin Jiu realized belatedly that he seemed to be being used to gain popularity.
"Shui " attracted a lot of attention because of his criticism of Lin Jiu. There were people who supported him, scolded him, and mocked him. No matter who they were, he was very popular.
A few days ago, Lin Jiu was tagged in several messages by "trolls", who were jumping up and down and wanted Lin Jiu to respond.
Lin Jiu was wondering whether he should confront Xi, when he saw a video being forwarded rapidly, so he clicked on it and took a look.
In the video, a foreign guy is excitedly holding a giant lobster. The species of the lobster cannot be identified. This giant lobster was caught by the foreign guy and his friends. After getting ashore, they weighed it and it was 25.36 kilograms, easily breaking the world record.
The two foreign guys said that they had never eaten such a big lobster before. They didn't sell it, put it in aquarium, or send it to an aquarium. They killed it and ate it themselves. The video also recorded the whole cooking process, which was full of meat. The two foreign guys ate very exaggeratedly and praised the giant lobster as delicious. They said they had never eaten such a delicious lobster.
This video is simply a slap in the face to "Water".
Many netizens who were just watching the fun crazily tagged “水”.
"Foreigners catch giant lobsters but don't release them or send them to aquariums? Water..."
"A giant lobster was eaten on the spot. What happened? Can it still be released alive? Water..."
"Smell it quickly, don't foreigners' farts smell good? Water!"
"Is it okay to hype yourself up by stepping on the board? Did you get burned out? It's just water."
"Just say that Lin Jiu is a disaster star, whoever comes into contact with him will be unlucky!"
"Brainless trolls are everywhere, pressing buttons to get attention, and then when they fail, they blame the people being trolled for being the scourge."
"… "
This giant lobster video seemed to be a signal. In the early morning, another giant lobster video went viral. The fishermen who caught the giant lobster were still foreigners. The fishermen said that they wanted to sell the giant lobster.
Two giant lobster videos appeared one after another, and the originally rare giant lobsters suddenly became not so rare.
However, when Lin Jiu saw the second video, he had calmed down and fell asleep.
Before going to the shop, Lin Jiu received a call from Jiang Xiwen.
Jiang Xiwen was silent for a long time before she asked, "Have you decided to terminate the contract?"
Lin Jiu had already answered this question very seriously. Jiang Xiwen's question probably meant that the conversation was not ideal.
"What did the company say?"
Jiang Xiwen sighed deeply, "The company agrees to your termination of the contract, but the three conditions must be met at the same time, not even one less."
Lin Jiu prepared himself mentally, "What are the conditions?"
Jiang Xiwen said: "You probably won't agree."
Lin Jiu: "Let me hear the conditions first."
Jiang Xiwen said: "The first condition is to compensate the company for breach of contract of 200 million yuan."
Jiang Xiwen paused, then heard Lin Jiu's voice and continued, "The second condition is that the exclusive sales rights of the Black Star Beads belong to 'Kerry'."
Lin Jiu remained silent and asked Jiang Xiwen to continue.
"The third condition is that the company will make a food show with the Magic Fish Shop as the background. You will participate in the show as a food mentor and instruct the celebrities on how to cook. You need to record the entire first season before it is considered complete."
Lin Jiu listened quietly and no longer knew what qi was.
"Sister Wen, thank you. I won't talk to the boss anymore."
Jiang Xiwen also feels helpless. It is easy for an artist to sign a contract, but it is extremely difficult to terminate the contract. Too many companies have made money from termination fees. For example, for debuted artists, even if they are still trainees, as long as they sign a contract, they have to pay compensation if they want to terminate the contract. This is a hard and fast rule in the contract.
There is also a clause in Lin Jiu's contract. The company should have been very optimistic about her in the beginning. In addition to her good looks, Lin Jiu also has a great voice. It is only a matter of time before she becomes famous. Therefore, there is a clause in her contract that if she terminates the contract early, she has to pay the company a termination fee of 3 million every year.
In addition to the breach of contract compensation clearly written in the contract, there are also various training fees, packaging fees, publicity fees arranged by the company, etc. To calculate how much it is, it depends on how much the company wants.
Lin Jiu could not meet any of the three conditions.
Even if he estimated in advance that the company offered a penalty of 100 million yuan, it was already a sky-high price for Lin Jiu. But when he thought about the actual situation, it was even more than double that price. It was impossible to negotiate at all, and the company did not have the sincerity to do so.
What puzzled Lin Jiu was what kind of relationship did "Chuangxing" and "Kerry" have that could make "Chuangxing" sacrifice this opportunity to gain benefits for "Kerry".
Jiang Xiwen said: "'Chuangxing' and 'Kerry' have been cooperating for a long time. I heard that the funding for the company's homemade food program comes from 'Kerry'."
Lin Jiu understood that only long-term interests could make people give up short-term interests.
In the final analysis, the cooperation between "Chuangxing" and "Kerry" is just to gain benefits from you.
"Do you still want to terminate the contract?"
Lin Jiu is alone and weak, and his power is too low to fight against an entertainment company alone.
"Of course, since we can't terminate the contract peacefully, we can only take legal action."
"Lin Jiu, don't take that step unless it's absolutely necessary." Jiang Xiwen was very worried about her. She was worried that if she angered "Chuangxing", it would completely ruin her. Lin Jiu was still so young, and the store was doing better and better. She was afraid that something might happen to Lin Jiu.
"Now it has come to that point." The boss wanted to resolve the situation peacefully and didn't want to wait any longer.
Lin Jiu rode his bike to open the store. There was already a line in front of the store. There were four people in the line. When they saw Lin Jiu coming, they hurriedly lowered their heads, not wanting Lin Jiu to notice them.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
A man in a suit walked towards Lin Jiu and said, "I'm Mr. Si's lawyer. Could you please sign the authorization agreement?"
Lin Jiu thought that Si Xu sent someone over so quickly, so he signed as the lawyer requested.
I wanted to ask about the contract termination lawsuit, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. The lawyer is Si Xu's people, so I should talk to Si Xu about this matter first, and then ask if I can hire Si Xu's lawyer to help me with the lawsuit.
Today's dishes have changed and are the same as yesterday. Lin Jiu is ready and opens for business.
There were four people at the first and second tables, and four people at the third table. They wore masks and lowered their heads, trying to enter the store.
Warning: Blacklisted persons have been detected and are not allowed to enter the store!
Lin Jiu's eyes turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to stop them, "Wait."
The four of them were all startled. The young man walking in front said, "Are we breaking the rules? We have waited till now."
The guests inside and outside the house all watched this scene. Lin Jiu said, "You are on our blacklist. We will not do business with you anymore."
The four people were stunned. The young man in the lead had an unpleasant expression on his face. "What do you mean? What the hell is a blacklist? Do you have to discriminate against someone just for a meal?"
Lin Jiu said coldly: "Have you heard what people say online? Mr. Lin has low quality, bad character, and loves to hold grudges. Anyone who has scolded me or the Magic Fish Shop will be put on the Magic Fish Shop's blacklist. Those who are on the blacklist will be refused by the shop."
Everyone who heard this was shocked. They had never imagined that there was a "blacklist" for the Magic Fish Shop.
The young man cursed "Fuck" and stared at Lin Jiu with a gloomy face, "Which eye of yours saw us scolding you? If you don't want to follow the rules, just say so, don't make excuses!"
Pieces of information were transmitted to Lin Jiu by the system.
"Zhang Qian, Weibo name: Qianqian Yijun, a month ago, he slandered my Black Magic Fish Shop online, jumping around every day and calling me a black-hearted boss. Anyone who eats such expensive seafood is an idiot. So, are you planning to become a regular employee in the direction of an idiot?"
Zhang Qian subconsciously glanced at the three people behind him, suspecting that they had betrayed him. Otherwise, how could Lin Jiu know his name if they were all blackmailing him online? If he even knew his name, wouldn't it be easy to find out his information
The three people behind were all very shocked, not like the kind of people who would betray their parents.
Zhang Qian said arrogantly: "You, you are slandering me!"
Lin Jiu said coldly: "What did I say wrong? Your name is not Zhang Qian, and you have never scolded me and the store?"
"You..." Zhang Qian was speechless because what Lin Jiu said was not true.
Lin Jiu looked at the two people behind Zhang Qian, "Zhang Zihe, Weibo name: Qianxi Qianhe. Xu Tutu, Weibo name: Xingchen Tutu. You were both with Zhang Qian, and you had a lot of fun a month ago."
The three people whose identities were stripped off on the spot were all very angry.
Lin Jiu looked at the last person, "Jiang Xiyu, did you bring my compensation?"
Jiang Yu, who was named, was the one who kicked over Lin Jiu's bicycle. He was a little panicked and hurriedly took out his wallet and took out a card.
"Here is 150,000 yuan. Is that enough?"
Lin Jiu's eyes were cold. He turned and walked into the store and took out the payment code. "Scan the code to pay. The total is 148,000."
Jiang Xiyu hurriedly took out his mobile phone to scan the code, but he exceeded the payment limit and could not scan so much, so he had to ask Lin Jiu to transfer the money.
Zhang Qian said angrily, "Are you an idiot? You said how much it was. There were so many people here at that time. Why should you be the only one to pay for it all? This is extortion! If you call the police, they will arrest you and put you in jail!"
Jiang Xinyu didn't listen and kept bowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I won't do it again. Please forgive me."
Zhang Qian and the other two thought that Jiang Yuyu was crazy. He just spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on someone and apologized so humbly. No normal person would do such a thing. He must be crazy.
Lin Jiu had a blank expression on his face and asked Jiang Yuyu, "What are you three doing here?"
Jiang Yuyu looked regretful, "Come with me to pay the debt, if, if possible, we can have dinner together."
"You guys don't look like you're here just to pay your debts and have a meal." You're so malicious that you've been blacklisted by the system, and you still want to come and have a meal
With the establishment of a blacklist, the Demon Hunting Chef God System will collect information on the Internet. If the malicious value towards Lin Jiu and the Magic Fish Shop reaches a certain level, they will be directly added to the blacklist by the system.
No matter it was the Demon Hunting System or the Demon Hunting Chef System, they were all played on the Internet. If someone had verbally cursed Lin Jiu or the Magic Fish Shop in private, the system might not be able to collect their malicious value, but as long as it was done through the Internet, no matter how secretive it was, it could be exposed by the system.
"No matter what you want to do, now you have the chance. This shop does not serve your interests, please leave." Lin Jiu stood at the door, and they did not want to set foot in the shop.
Jiang Xiyu turned around and left very obediently, but found that the three of them were still blocking the door, so he hurried back and dragged the three away. He was afraid of making Lin Jiu unhappy, so he kept apologizing when he left.
Zhang Qian was almost mad. He thought Lin Jiu was a hater, hater of the rich, and phobic. He also couldn't stand the traffic-leading gigolos. Lin Jiu happened to be all three of these. He originally wanted to sneak into the Magic Fish Restaurant, eat a few bites and take a few photos, and then go online to expose that the food in the Magic Fish Restaurant was very ordinary, not as delicious as rumored. As a result, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the restaurant!
This scene was filmed and uploaded to Weibo. Netizens were shocked. It was the first time they knew that Magic Fish Shop had set up a "blacklist". Anyone on the blacklist would be refused to do business with Magic Fish Shop.
If the judging criteria are to scold Lin Jiu and the Magic Fish Shop, then it's over, and many people will definitely be turned away.
Among Lin Jiu's current fans, a small number of them have turned from haters to fans. When the situation was at its worst a month ago, they also cursed Lin Jiu and Magic Fish Shop. Later, they realized Mi Youyou's character, and they apologized one after another under Lin Jiu's Weibo and decided to turn from haters to fans.
If the blacklist is based on this standard, then wouldn’t we be doomed
A group of people cried and apologized under Lin Jiu's Weibo, asking Lin Jiu to let them out. They didn't want to be on the blacklist, they wanted to go to the Magic Fish Restaurant to eat, they had already gotten out of the black fan level, they were all die-hard fans now, and they begged for a chance!
