Lin Jiu didn't go online, so he didn't know about the bloody storm on Weibo, and the system didn't waste energy reminding him of these unimportant things.
Lin Jiu is now concentrating on dealing with the people from the special forces management department who have come again.
Lin Jiu prepared the elementary magic meal, thinking that he could deliver it to Si Xu at noon, but Si Xu came by himself.
Si Xu was also helpless, he was very busy today. The Special Forces Management Department came to talk to Lin Jiu about the food. Si Xu was worried about Lin Jiu, so he had to put his work on hold and accompany him here.
Lin Jiu already had a plan in mind, and asked them to talk in a private room.
The four of them entered the box, and Lu Yu introduced himself first. When Lin Jiu heard that he was the captain of the enhanced team, he didn't react much.
After listening to Shi Shuqing's report, Lu Yu wanted to come and talk to Lin Jiu last night. Fortunately, Shi Shuqing stopped him. After waiting for a long time, Lin Jiu opened the door at noon and immediately came over impatiently.
"Today, thanks to Si Xu, I can jump the queue to have a meal. Three servings of seafood rice, one serving." Lu Yu said.
Although he learned the whole story from Shi Shuqing, as the captain, he still needed to verify it himself.
Lin Jiu glanced at Si Xu and knew that the elementary magic meal was not suitable to be taken out now, so he could only ask them to prepare seafood rice.
The ingredients for the paella had already been prepared, and three servings of paella were delivered quickly.
The paella is simple and crude, with a small mountain of seafood covering the rice. You can tell that the seafood is not placed randomly but arranged layer by layer, with bright colors and distinct layers, especially the pomegranate and red fish roe on the top, which is exquisite and beautiful.
You don't even need to taste it, just the color of the seafood tells you that the ingredients are very fresh.
Lu Yu was used to being rough and didn't know what elegant dining was. He just stirred Shanlu in the seafood soy sauce and poured it on the mountain of seafood. He picked up a wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. His purpose was to test the energy of the ingredients, but he didn't expect to be completely captured by the deliciousness of the food.
After taking a bite, warmth slowly flowed throughout his body. Lu Yu relaxed unconsciously. It was a kind of relaxation both mentally and physically. Until this moment, he realized how tense his mind was in the past. His body was always ready to go. Over time, it had become a habit for him. He didn't expect that after taking a bite of food, his whole body would relax.
Lu Yu didn’t know if this was the power of food, he only knew that such a good effect might have other uses.
Lu Yu had a serious face and ate a plate of seafood rice as quickly as possible. He picked up the shrimp soup that was served and drank it in two gulps. He was very heroic.
It is actually very difficult to distinguish which type of ingredients in the paella that is a mixture of various ingredients has higher energy. The only feeling Lu Yu has now is satisfaction and comfort. So much energy is mixed together, not messy, not sharp, but very harmonious.
It is a very gentle harmony.
As enhanced humans, they break through their genetic thresholds every time they train. They experience sharp pain every day and have never been treated so gently.
They all knew that pain was a reaction to bodily injury, but in order to become stronger, they could only endure it. The food from the Magic Fish Shop could nourish their bodies so gently.
Lu Yu understood that the most powerful thing about the Magic Fish Shop might not be the energy ingredients, but Lin Jiu, who could make these ingredients have healing powers.
Thinking of this, the look in Lu Yu's eyes towards Lin Jiu changed. He suspected that Lin Jiu's ability was related to this aspect.
Lin Jiu did not leave. He watched them finish the paella and knew it was time to get down to business.
Lu Yu said: "Yesterday, Deputy Captain Shi should have told you something. Are you interested in joining our department?"
"I have no intention. My shop needs people, and I don't want to be bound by restrictions." Lin Jiu refused decisively without any reluctance.
Lu Yu had already expected the answer. "In that case, does Boss Lin have any intention to cooperate?"
Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Let me first hear about the kind of cooperation."
Lu Yu came with sincerity. "If you don't want to tell us the origin of the ingredients, we won't ask. If you don't want to join our department, we won't force you. But we really need these ingredients, and we can buy them from you. As long as the cooperation is reached, we will be your backing in the future. You can open a store and do business without worries. You don't have to worry about anything. What do you think?"
Last night, Si Xu asked him if he was willing to sell ingredients to strengthen people. Lin Jiu did not give a direct answer. He wanted to first see how much sincerity they could show. He did not expect that this was directly aimed at being his backer. With such a strong backing, what else did he have to worry about
What's more, he can sell the ingredients without any action, and it is legal, safe and will not cause trouble. In the future, he will have the support of the special power management department, so what is there to be afraid of
He is not afraid of anything!
The three people present were waiting for Lin Jiu's answer. Lu Yu said slowly: "History has taught us that if we fall behind, we will be beaten. We must not lose to others in terms of superpowers. In the early years when we just started the experiment of strengthening people, others took advantage of many loopholes. They used superpowers to steal secrets, kidnap important hostages, disrupt social order and other evil deeds. They appeared and disappeared like ghosts, and we couldn't catch them. The result of a head-on confrontation was that the people we were trying to catch were annihilated, and the superpowers just ran away... In the final analysis, we are too weak in this aspect. In order to prevent such things from happening again, we must become stronger and stronger."
Lin Jiu approached Si Xu, wanting to hear his opinion.
Si Xu clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand by you."
Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes, as if smiling.
"I can sell you the ingredients, but they are not whole. I will process and cut them up. Will you still buy them?"
Shi Shuqing was puzzled. "Although I think this is better, I still want to know the reason."
Lin Jiu did not hide it, "Like fish bones and shrimp shells, these can't be eaten. They are useless to you, but they are useful to me."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "It may not be useless. If there is energy in fish bones and shrimp shells, maybe we can eat them."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Are all enhanced humans werewolves
Si Xu knew that Lu Yu was not lying. Just think about that cup of energy water and you will know. He was reluctant to even throw away the vegetable roots.
Lin Jiu calculated that after he terminated the contract, he would basically have no use for the money. Compared with money, magic points were more important to him.
"You are given three chances to make an appointment every month. You are the only one. No one has ever made an appointment in my Magic Fish Shop."
"Deal." Lu Yu agreed quickly, fearing that Lin Jiu would go back on his word.
Shi Shuqing took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and asked Lin Jiu to sign them. "Go through the process. Sign the confidentiality agreement and cooperation agreement."
What Lin Jiu feared most was signing these things. He did not rush to do it, but said, "I haven't finished what I want to say yet."
"Please speak." Shi Shuqing and Lu Yu both listened attentively.
Lin Jiu said: "I have the final say on when and how much food to supply, and I must make it clear in advance that I can't supply too much food. Don't think of me as a food supplier. After all, I personally pick these ingredients. You should know that a person's ability is limited and it is impossible to supply in bulk."
Being able to buy these ingredients was already a pleasant surprise, and they could accept it to some extent.
Lin Jiu continued: "You should also be prepared for shortages at any time. Of course, if you come to my restaurant to eat, as long as you line up, you will definitely get food."
Lu Yu: “…”
Lu Yu: "How long will this shortage last?"
It can't be out of stock all the time, right? If they are in urgent need of energy ingredients and Lin Jiu happens to be out of stock, it will be a matter of life and death.
Lin Jiu said calmly, "I know that you guys use these ingredients to replenish the energy consumed by the enhanced humans. Instead of replenishing the ingredients, perhaps drinking water would be more convenient, and it would also reduce the risk of you eating spoiled seafood, and it would also provide more energy."
Si Xu's heart moved, and he already understood what Lin Jiu wanted to do.
Lin Jiu got up and left, and soon came back with a wine barrel. "When there is no food supply, I am willing to use these fruit wines as a substitute. You can taste the quality yourself."
Lin Jiu, Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing each had a cup, filled the wine jug with wine, and poured a cup for each of them.
Si Xu smelled the elegant floral and fruity aromas and realized that this barrel should be flower-red fruit wine.
Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing drank the glass of fruit wine with a look of shock on their faces!
The energy of a glass of wine is just as good as that of a bowl of paella. The most important thing is that fruit wine is easy to carry. When going on a mission, it is definitely more convenient to bring a bottle of wine than a bowl of paella.
"Good wine!" Lu Yu praised generously.
Lin Jiu said modestly: "This is just ordinary wine."
Lu Yu asked excitedly: "Is there any better wine?"
Lin Jiu: "Yes, it's not suitable for you. The energy of ordinary fruit wine is enough."
Lu Yu, Shi Shuqing and Lin Jiu all had complicated looks at them. From what they said, it seemed that Lin Jiu didn't just know about energy. What kind of abilities did he have
Lu Yu looked at Si Xu and remembered Si Xu's small wine pot. "Is this the kind of fruit wine in your wine pot?"
Si Xu did not respond. His small wine flask was not filled with red fruit wine, but the better green fruit wine.
Lu Yu seemed to understand, and looked at the two of them again and again, thinking that the relationship between these two people was really good.
When there was no food available, there was no reason for Lu Yu to refuse such a good fruit wine as a substitute. He wanted to pack a barrel of Huahong fruit wine to take back home.
Lin Jiu glanced at them and said, "Just pay a little money, and you can go home with Huahong fruit wine now."
Lu Yu finally calmed down. It was well known that the prices in the Magic Fish Shop were already very expensive, so the ingredients and fruit wine must not be cheap.
Lu Yu asked: "How much is this fruit wine?"
Lin Jiu raised three fingers, "Three thousand."
Lu Yu: "A pot?"
Lin Jiu laughed, "One cup."
Lu Yu: “…”
Shi Shuqing: “…”
Si Xu was very calm. He had drunk a glass of maltose fruit wine that cost 10,000 yuan before, so 3,000 yuan a glass was really nothing.
Lin Jiu pointed at the cup in front of them, "50ml cup, three thousand per cup."
Lu Yu felt a little stimulated, and said slowly: "Is there any discount?"
Lin Jiu spread his hands, "We never bargain in this small shop."
The fruits from the Demonic Sea plane contain high levels of magic energy, so it would be a bit of a waste to make them into ordinary fruit wine. However, they are safe and suitable for everyone to drink.
Captain Lu felt like his heart was bleeding. He replied and applied for a subsidy. Now that the cooperation was done, it would be up to them whether they could afford the food and fruit wine.
Shi Shuqing said: "Sign the contract first."
"Okay." Lin Jiu felt relieved. He was worried that there wouldn't be enough ingredients to sell, but it turned out he was overthinking it.
He can sell it, and the other party has sufficient financial resources to buy it.
Lin Jiu signed a confidentiality agreement, which prohibited any disclosure of information related to enhanced humans, otherwise he would be held legally responsible.
Lin Jiu signed the confidentiality agreement happily.
When signing the cooperation agreement, Lin Jiu was very serious and read it almost word for word, for fear of any traps.
After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he asked Si Xu to help him.
Si Xu was very happy that Lin Jiu trusted him so much. There was no problem with the cooperation agreement. The two parties just reached a cooperation intention without any specific details.
Shi Shuqing said: "For the specific details, we can sign a supplementary contract."
Lin Jiu agreed and signed the cooperation agreement first, then discussed the details for another half an hour. Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing then left and went back to redraft the detailed contract and send it to Lin Jiu tomorrow.
The guests in the hall had already left one after another. Si Xu still had work to do, so Lin Jiu saw him off to the door.
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Si Xu smiled and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lin Jiu thought about it and decided, yes, but it didn’t seem appropriate to say it now.
Si Xu said: "I heard that 'Chuangxing' recorded a food show, and it seems to be based on the Magic Fish Shop..."
Lin Jiu's expression turned cold. "No matter what program 'Chuangxing' wants to record, Magic Fish Shop will not be the background."
Si Xu: "What are you going to do?"
Lin Jiu straightened his back and said, "I want to terminate the contract through legal means. Can I borrow your legal team?"
Si Xu smiled, "Of course. From now on, don't bother Chuangxing anymore. No matter what Chuangxing wants to discuss, let him talk to your lawyer. Tomorrow at the latest, the legal team will formally file a lawsuit against Chuangxing and help you terminate the contract."
The word "thank you" is too pale. Si Xu has helped him so much. No matter in the past or now, Si Xu's help to him is far beyond what these two words can summarize.
All Lin Jiu can do now is to try his best to help Si Xu activate the recessive gene so that he can survive.
Two days later, the news that Lin Jiu filed a contract termination lawsuit with the court went viral on the Internet.
Under the operation of Si Xu's team, an "informed person" revealed the three termination conditions of Lin Jiu of "Chuangxing". By the way, it was also revealed that before that, Lin Jiu compensated the company for losses of 40 million because he privately stopped business for a year.
When the 40 million was revealed, everyone was instantly stunned!
"Wait, when Lin Jiu was a star, he wasn't that popular, right? How could he make 40 million in profit a year? Am I crazy, or is 'Chuangxing' crazy?"
"Oh my god, I'm really scared. Opening an entertainment company is too profitable, right? A flat price of 40 million, do you want it? If you don't want it, I'll freeze you out and ban you, do you want it?"
"I originally thought that Boss Lin was making a lot of money from selling Black Star Beads, but I didn't expect that all the money from selling Black Star Beads went into a black hole called 'Chuangxing'. Emmmm, the water is too deep, I'm a little scared."
"There are three conditions for termination. Forgive me for not being able to hold back my laughter. Did Chuangxing get rich by dreaming? A termination fee of 200 million, and the exclusive sales rights of the Black Star Beads, and finally even Boss Lin's Magic Fish Shop was not spared. Does Chuangxing want to go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? I beg the relevant departments to do something about it!"
"I just want to ask, if Si Shen cancels the contract, does Washington dare to ask for 200 million yuan?"
"Fuck! If you calculate this way, Boss Lin is more popular than God Si. Is he still worth keeping?"
"Let's just talk about the facts above, don't bring up my idol. If an idol cancels his contract, it's not the company that's asking him for money, but the company that's holding the money to ask the idol to stay. Please don't cancel the contract!"
"Honestly, 200 million is really too exaggerated. Is Chuangxing crazy, or do they think that Boss Lin is easy to bully because he has no backing? How dare they do that!"
"Who said Boss Lin has no backers?! Calling Si Shen online, your little chef has been bullied, come and save him!"
"Get lost, you CP dog upstairs! My brother is just a simple diner, and he is not that familiar with Boss Lin!"
"This behavior of the entertainment company has violated the law, right? I support Mr. Lin in suing Chuangxing!"
"Support +1"
"Boss Lin just wants to open a store quietly. Chuangxing should not come to make trouble. I support Boss Lin in suing Chuangxing!"
"Support +10086"
"Chuangxing" never thought that Lin Jiu would be so bold as to sue without making any noise. The company put pressure on Mr. Zhang and Jiang Xiwen to contact Lin Jiu immediately to resolve the matter.
Jiang Xiwen ignored the company. Mr. Zhang contacted Lin Jiu, but found that she had been blocked. He changed the number and called again, but the unfamiliar number was blocked, so he couldn't get through to Lin Jiu at all.
The official Weibo account of "Chuangxing" immediately issued a clarification, denying the three termination conditions, saying that someone was deliberately discrediting the company, and the company would investigate the responsibility according to law. At the same time, the Internet water army took action and began to control comments.
The three termination conditions were only raised by the company when talking with Jiang Xiwen. There was no official document and they were not successfully implemented. "Chuangxing" directly denied it and there is no evidence to show that "Chuangxing" really raised these three conditions.
The Internet was originally one-sidedly criticizing "Chuangxing", but after the clarification statement was issued, some people began to doubt the authenticity of the matter, and the Internet trolls took the opportunity to lead the trend.
"I think this is a bit fake. Lin Jiu is not famous enough to make the company go to so much trouble. I seriously suspect that Lin Jiu is deliberately hyping it up."
"I don't believe it either. I have never heard of any artist being charged 200 million yuan for breach of contract. Someone is definitely deliberately smearing 'Chuangxing'."
"I suspect that this was staged by Lin Jiu himself. He would do anything to increase his net worth."
"Haha, I've already said that Lin Jiu has a bad character. Come on, he's starting to act like a troublemaker again."
"… "
Jiang Xiwen and Lin Jiu sent a recording.
When she was talking with the company, she secretly recorded the conversation. Originally it was just in case, for fear that things would get unclear later. Unexpectedly, the company was so embarrassed that they offered the conditions, but after they were exposed, they actually denied their promise. How could Jiang Xiwen, who was caught in the middle, live like this
In this case, Jiang Xiwen is not afraid of the recording being made public.
After listening to the recording, Lin Jiu was a little hesitant. If the recording went wrong, "Chuangxing" would definitely know that it was Jiang Xiwen's work. How could Jiang Xiwen stay in the company in the future
Jiang Xiwen heard Lin Jiu's hesitation, and she laughed on the phone, "You can use the recording, don't worry about me. Even without this incident, I would have planned to resign, so I won't persuade you, because I want to leave too."
Lin Jiu was surprised, "Are you changing jobs?"
Jiang Xiwen was silent for a long time, and then she spoke again, "It's not job-hopping, I just don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to work anymore... I don't want to waste my last moments working..."
Lin Jiu heard something strange, "What do you mean? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xiwen did not answer, but continued, "I want you to lead this circle, and I also want you to give it away, so that it will be complete, and I can feel more at ease..."
"Sister Wen! What's wrong with you?" Lin Jiu was anxious.
Jiang Xiwen sighed, "It's okay, I'm just too tired and want to rest for a while. Contact me if you need me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Jiu was stunned for a long time, then sent the recording to Wen Qin.
Wen Qin edited and released the original recording of the "Chuangxing" executives proposing these three conditions.
Things took a turn for the worse, with countless people flocking to the official Weibo of "Chuangxing", criticizing everyone they met, then spitting it out and eating it back themselves. Doesn't that sound good
"Chuangxing" insisted that someone was deliberately smearing the company, and would not admit it even if the original recording was slapped to its face. It would never admit it!
"Chuangxing" has been trying to contact Lin Jiu and want to talk to him face to face. When they couldn't get through, they went to the Magic Fish Shop to block him. Lin Jiu only had one sentence, "If you have any questions, please talk to my lawyer," and didn't say a word more.
Netizens were watching the show, fans and haters were tearing each other apart, and the internet army was blackening each other. The war lasted for three days. When Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing finally took the money and came to Lin Jiu to buy wine, they knew about this.
Lu Yu's face turned black at that time. Was this intended to embarrass their special forces management department? They said they would protect Lin Jiu, but they tore it apart online. They were really brave!
Captain Lu didn't even have time to buy wine. He made several phone calls to find out what happened. He only had one thing to say: don't delay the case and handle it urgently, otherwise their department would lose face.
