Compared to the heated comments from Mr. Zhang and Duan Chengzhou, the self-exposures from Qiu E and the two financial staff members seemed much quieter.
Qiu E revealed that since she entered "Chuangxing", she has used many shady means to improve her agent level. Originally, the agent of Dream Group should have been Jiang Xiwen, but Qiu E used tricks to snatch her away from Jiang Xiwen. However, Dream Group was not as popular as expected, and there would be no future if it continued to drag on, so she resorted to tricks and did such a thing.
Qiu E listed many things she had done by taking advantage of her position, one of which was a popular song called "Dreamer". The real creator was not Duan Chengzhou, but Ling Chen. The original name of the song was "To My Brothers".
When Ling Chen was auditioning, Duan Chengzhou saw him accidentally. Duan Chengzhou wanted to buy the song, including the signature rights. Ling Chen refused to sell it, so Duan Chengzhou found Qiu E, who negotiated with the company on his behalf and got the song, completely erasing any traces of Ling Chen.
Ling Chen's creations are very creative. Duan Chengzhou wanted Ling Chen to write songs for him, but Ling Chen refused. Qiu E interfered and put pressure on him, so that Ling Chen had to have a job and an agent for the past year. Ling Chen was a stubborn person and would rather not write songs than have his songs named after others.
Huo Wei's eyes were red as he glared at Ling Chen, "Why didn't you tell me about this?!"
Ling Chen sighed, "It's useless to tell you. With your temper, you will definitely go to Duan Chengzhou to settle the score. The result will only be that we will both lose work. I don't want to delay you."
Huo Wei was so angry that he yelled and regretted that he was blind and thought Duan Chengzhou was a good person. He even kept asking him to find a job for Ling Chen. What an idiot he was!
Ling Chen was helpless. If he hadn't been bound by the contract, he could have sued Duan Chengzhou and got his song back.
He took every precaution when signing the contract, but he still fell into the trap. There was a clause in the contract that all the singer's works during the contract period would belong to the company.
That is to say, if the company allows you to sign your name on the song you produced, you can do so; if they don't allow you to sign your name, then even if it's your song it's not yours, it's the company's song, and the company can give the song to whomever it wants and give the name to whomever it wants.
This clause also existed in Lin Jiu's contract, but since he was not a singer-songwriter, he didn't have to worry about it. But Ling Chen was different, as this contract directly blocked him.
Ling Chen used to like singing, but he was not good at it and was never recognized. He just thought it was a hobby and wanted to do it when he could, but he didn't expect to have the chance to sing. But who would have thought that after signing the contract, Ling Chen seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and his creative level was getting better and better. In the group's album, there are several songs written by Ling Chen himself, and the signature rights are also Ling Chen himself.
If it wasn't for the incident of Duan Chengzhou snatching the song, Ling Chen would not have even remembered that there was such a contract. The company used the contract to shackle him, and he had no choice but to give up the song.
That song made Duan Chengzhou famous, but it dampened Ling Chen's creative enthusiasm. Over the past year, he had no announcements and no songs to sing, so he just wasted time in the company.
Thanks to Lin Jiu, he was able to sign under Brother Sen. From now on, he can concentrate on creation without worrying about the issue of authorship.
The online revelations have not yet ended. The two people in the Finance Department are both veterans of the company and have worked in the company for many years. They compiled the evidence of Chuangxing’s tax evasion over the years and packaged it all and sent it to the tax department, asking them to come to the company to check the accounts.
After reading the self-exposure on the Internet, Si Xu's eyes looked at Lin Jiu strangely.
Lin Jiu knew what they were going to do, but he didn't know they would be so impatient to express themselves and expose themselves to compete in speed.
Lin Jiu noticed that Si Xu looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Si Xu realized that Lin Jiu might also be an enhanced person, otherwise he couldn't think of what kind of reason he could use to convince a person to destroy his own future. These things that were harmful to him were too late to hide, so how could he possibly expose them
"Your reasoning is very good, and they are very talkative."
Lin Jiu: “…”
She quietly took out her phone and replied to Ling Chen's message first, then checked Weibo. She roughly flipped through it, and before she finished flipping through it, her phone automatically shut down for the second time. The battery that she had charged before leaving was completely used up.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu sighed helplessly, took Lin Jiu's phone, and while waiting for the red light, handed the phone to the driver and asked him to charge it.
Lin Jiu was very embarrassed, "Thank you."
Si Xu's phone rang again. He took a look and answered it immediately. "What's the matter?"
Aunt Chen's anxious voice came from the phone, "Master, can you come back? Madam has been crying and asking when you will come back. She wants to go find you..."
"I'll be back soon. You comfort me first and don't let me hurt myself." Si Xu said and hung up the phone.
Seeing that he was anxious, Lin Jiu said, "I'll just get off here. Go and do what you have to do first."
"No need, you take this car, I'll take the bodyguard's car back." After a pause, Si Xu explained, "Something happened at home, I'll find time to come to the store to find you."
The driver pulled over and let Si Xu get out.
Si Xu walked in a hurry, as if it was something serious.
Si Xu hurried home and found the living room a mess.
The vase was broken on the ground, and white roses were scattered all over the floor. Some were left with only the flower heads, some were well trimmed, and some had all their petals plucked off, leaving only a branch.
Aunt Chen stood in the living room, very nervous, with her scissors hidden behind her.
Seeing Sixu coming back, Aunt Chen was about to speak, but Sixu raised his hand to stop her.
Song Mozhi was sitting on the sofa, her long hair was a little loose, her plain shawl was thrown on the ground, and she was still sobbing softly.
Si Xu walked over gently and squatted in front of Song Mozhi, "Mom."
Song Mozhi raised her eyes, her eyes were red, and her voice was very gentle, "Ah Xu, you're back, aren't you busy with work?"
Si Xu sat next to Song Mozhi, "Not busy, Aunt Chen said you were unhappy, I came back to accompany you."
Song Mozhi shook his head. "I'm not unhappy. I'm just worried about your dad. He's been home for a few days and hasn't called me, but his phone has been unreachable. Is he in trouble?"
Si Xu comforted him, "Yes, Dad is in poor condition. It should be because of bad signal. He will be back soon."
"No," Song Mozhi shook his head, and became emotional. "No, I dreamed that he fell into the sea. He must be in trouble... Are they here again? Did they kidnap your father? Go and find them and ask them to rescue him quickly..."
"Mom." Si Xu held his mother's trembling hand, "Dad is safe, he is fine, it was just a dream."
Song Mozhi started to cry again, "Ah Xu, you have to be good. You are my only child. You have to protect yourself... Did you take your fighting class well? Let daddy find the best instructor to teach you fighting. You have to be very good so that you won't get hurt."
"I know. I will be careful. No one can hurt me." Si Xu comforted him gently. Fighting with the instructor was something he did when he was a child. It was no longer necessary now. Si Xu knew that his mother's memory was confused again, and he always felt that someone wanted to harm him.
For a while, Si Xu could not leave his sight. If he could not see Si Xu for a while, he would cry in fear, thinking that Si Xu was taken away by someone. After these years of treatment and caring care from the whole family, his condition has improved a lot. He only becomes mentally confused when he is afraid and frightened. When he is quiet, he is no different from a normal person.
Song Mozhi cried for a while, and then urged Si Xu to call and ask when his father would be back.
Si Xu patiently comforted him, saying that his father's work was very confidential and no one else knew where his father was, so his father would be safer this way. When the work was finished, his father would be able to come back, and his whereabouts would not be disclosed by their superiors.
Song Mozhi felt that what his son said made sense. He believed that his whereabouts must not be disclosed, as safety was the most important thing.
Si Xu looked at the dark circles under his mother's eyes and knew that she must have not had enough rest recently. If it weren't for the Black Star Beads to regulate her sleep, her mother's spirit would have collapsed long ago.
"Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll stay with you." Si Xu wanted his mother to rest more, as she was not in good health and couldn't stay up like this.
Song Mozhi shook his head, forgetting what he had just said, and started asking again: "When will Dad come back? Take me to find him. I don't want to be unable to do anything at home."
My mother is too nervous, and there's no telling when my father will be back. If this continues, my mother will surely have a mental breakdown.
He didn't want to see his mother living in fear.
Si Xu's cell phone rang, and Song Mozhi immediately looked at Si Xu nervously.
Si Xu took a look and comforted him: "It's nothing, it's a call from a friend."
Song Mozhi was very sensitive. Si Xu did not avoid her and accepted it in front of her.
The call was from Lin Jiu, who wanted to ask Si Xu whether he should prepare lunch for him at noon.
Si Xu hesitated for a moment, then asked his mother in a low voice, "Do you want to eat silver croaker?"
Song Mozhi seemed to remember the delicious fish and smiled, "Okay, let's go eat together."
Last time, Lin Jiu gave Si Xu so many silver fish, and Si Xu shared some with his family members. His mother was in poor health, so she could eat some silver fish to replenish her body. His grandparents and grandmothers were all old, and when there were few silver fish, they were reluctant to eat them and left them for Si Xu. Now that there are more silver fish, they can also eat some.
Lin Jiu heard a very gentle woman on the other end of the phone, and the tone of her voice was gentler than ever before.
Lin Jiu paused, "... Do you want to eat silver fish? For two people?"
Si Xu: "It's all right. Three of us, let's go over there."
Lin Jiu agreed, hung up the phone, and prepared for them in advance.
Aunt Chen pushed a wheelchair over, Si Xu helped his mother move from the sofa to the wheelchair, and Aunt Chen pushed Song Mozhi upstairs to clean up.
Song Mozhi has difficulty walking, so his family installed an elevator for him so that he can go up and down the stairs conveniently.
After washing and dressing up, Song Mozhi regained her usual elegance and grace. She stopped crying and had a smile on her face, looking in a good mood. Since the incident, she rarely went out, and the few times she went out, she was followed by a group of bodyguards, which was very inconvenient.
Of course, bodyguards were indispensable for this outing, but Song Mozhi was still very happy to have his son accompany him.
Aunt Chen is the elder of the family and has been taking care of Song Mozhi personally. Wherever Song Mozhi goes, she will follow him.
Aunt Chen pushed Song Mozhi's door open, Si Xu opened the car door, carried his mother into the car, folded the wheelchair and put it in the car, and then set off for the Magic Fish Shop.
The car stopped in front of the Magic Fish Shop. Si Xu put a mask, glasses, scarf and hat on his mother. He only wore a mask. The bodyguard had already put the wheelchair in place. Si Xu picked up Song Mozhi and put him on the wheelchair.
Si Xu noticed someone was taking pictures. He took a look and saw that the bodyguard had already gone over to deal with it.
No matter how glorious she was in the past, the current Song Mozhi is not suitable for the public eye. The former dance queen has disappeared from public view for ten years. Few people know that Si Xu and the world-class dance queen Song Mozhi are mother and son. They never interact and never appear in the same occasion. There are many different opinions about Si Xu's background. No one can dig out his true identity, and even if they do, no one dares to reveal it.
There are fans of Si Xu squatting in front of the Magic Fish shop every day. Except for the first time, every time fans asked for autographs and photos, Si Xu refused. As a result, the fans who were squatting could only take pictures from a distance so as not to disturb the male idol.
However, no one can take photos today, not even fans.
There is no need for Si Xu to worry, the bodyguards will take care of these things.
Lin Jiu saw the situation outside through the window and quickly walked over to open the door.
"Thank you." Si Xu pushed Song Mozhi into the store and went straight to the private room.
The customers dining in the restaurant were very curious and followed them with their eyes until they were out of sight.
Lin Jiu didn't think that the people Si Xu brought this time would be so inconvenient, so he followed him to the box. When he opened the door, he saw a beautiful lady smiling at him in a friendly manner. She was very beautiful, and she was elegant even when sitting in a wheelchair.
"Hello, you must be Boss Lin, Ah Xu often mentions you."
The voice was the same as what I heard on the phone, very gentle.
Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Hello."
Lin Jiuzhi, the world-class ballet queen—Song Mozhi.
Lin Jiu had seen a clip of ’s performance on TV and thought that ’s dancing was beautiful and that she could perform many difficult moves with ease, which was amazing. What impressed Lin Jiu the most was ’s eyes, which were very similar to Si Xu’s eyes.
Lin Jiu looked at Song Mozhi, then at Si Xu, as if he suddenly understood something.
Si Xu smiled: "This is my mother."
Lin Jiu: “…”
really.
Lin Jiu had never thought about the relationship between these two people before. Song Mozhi was very young and had a great figure. Everyone thought she was unmarried. But who would have thought that she was not only married, but her children were already so grown up!
When Lin Jiu entered the entertainment industry, Song Mozhi had already retired. Some people said it was because of a car accident. I guess his legs were also caused by the car accident, right? Letting a top dancer lose both legs, this should be the cruelest thing.
"Lunch is ready. Shall we serve it now?" Lin Jiu asked Si Xu.
Si Xu: "Aunt Chen, please take care of mom. I'll go help."
Aunt Chen agreed.
Si Xu followed Lin Jiu and closed the door of the box.
Since there were other people around, Lin Jiu would not prepare a magic meal for Si Xu. He put the prepared lunch on two large trays and delivered one to each person in the box.
Lin Jiu said that they wanted to eat silver fish, so he specially prepared a portion of thick-cut silver fish sashimi for them. Such a portion of silver fish sashimi costs more than 100,000 yuan, and it can only be prepared for specific people. It is not easy to put it on the menu, otherwise it will become a hot topic again.
Not to mention the thick-cut silver carp sashimi that costs more than 100,000 yuan per serving, even the steamed shrimp claws are not popular among the public, for the simple reason that they are too expensive.
Si Xu never skimps on spending at the Magic Fish Shop, so when Lin Jiu prepares delicious food for him, he only has to consider the taste.
Lin Jiu only prepared three servings. In the eyes of Song Mozhi and Aunt Chen, every dish was exquisite and unique. They had seen them before, but Si Xu was already accustomed to them.
Today's main course is sea ball rice, served with golden shrimp balls, grilled crab legs with sauce, caviar broth, thick-cut silver carp sashimi, baked shrimp tails with milk flavor and steamed rainbow conch. The last two dishes are delicacies that Si Xu has eaten before.
The main ingredient of the milk-flavored baked shrimp tails is not milk, but milk-flavored fruit. The milk and fruit aromas completely permeate the shrimp tail meat, which is tender and juicy, and your mouth is filled with the unique fragrance of the magic brocade dragon. It is so delicious that it is hard to describe.
Steamed rainbow snails, the snail meat is cut into thin slices and piled in a colorful shell. The shell has a smooth surface, shallow threads and a smooth mouth. The shell does not look like a snail, but rather like a beautiful round-bellied wine glass. The steamed snail meat is soaked in ice water and then slightly marinated with sauce. It is fresh, salty, crispy and very delicious.
Song Mozhi had never eaten such delicious seafood before. He ate quite a lot. Maybe it was because he was completely focused on the food, but he felt relaxed both physically and mentally. He felt sleepy before lunch was over.
Si Xu had been paying attention to his mother, and when he saw that she was feeling sleepy, he knew that the delicious food had taken effect.
Aunt Chen quickly finished her own rice with sea balls, wondering if she could make such a delicious dish. The lady and the young master seemed to like it very much. Aunt Chen looked at Si Xu and asked if she wanted to send the lady back to rest.
Si Xu nodded, stood up and went to pay the bill. Aunt Chen packed up the food for Song Mozhi and pushed the car into the private room.
Passing by the cashier counter, Song Mozhi greeted Lin Jiu, "Boss Lin's cooking skills are very good, and the food is very delicious."
"As long as you like."
Lin Jiu's gaze fell on the black star bead bracelet on Song Mozhi's wrist. The night-like beads made her skin look even paler.
Si Xu talked to Lin Jiu and sent his mother back to rest first.
Song Mozhi fell asleep in the car when he got home.
The Kitchen God System congratulates the host. Customer Si Xu spent a total of 1.1519 million in the store. His popularity value has reached the standard and he is eligible to enter the second floor for dining. The host is hereby rewarded with a free blind box draw. Good luck.
Lin Jiu: “…”
The surprise came too quickly and he was not ready.
Lin Jiu loves to draw blind boxes so much. The contents of the blind boxes are random and it all depends on luck what you get. From small items like coral green to big items like super smart kitchen, he has drawn them all. He is looking forward to what he will get this time.
Drawing a blind box is different from opening a treasure chest. There are good and bad things in the blind box, but the treasure chest has quality restrictions. Only treasure chests with good quality can open good things. The best thing that can be opened in a wooden treasure chest should be a one cubic meter fish pond. The normal level should be at the level of a fishing net bag. For example, primary gene enhancement potions can only be found in black iron treasure chests.
Lin Jiu still has a wooden treasure chest in his hand, but he doesn't plan to open it. He has asked the system, and it turns out that collecting 10 wooden treasure chests can form a black iron treasure chest. The chances of getting good things in a combined treasure chest are higher, so Lin Jiu plans to save them up.
If you want to get a treasure chest, you still have to complete tasks.
The system has been very quiet these days, and only tasks have been issued to him.
I can feel the host's eagerness to maintain the balance of matter in the Demon Sea plane.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: No, wait...
Demon Hunting Mission: Invisible Fish*3
Introduction: Master of the Sea of Invisibility
Mission duration: 100 days
Mission Reward: 30 mana
Failure penalty: 30% mana deduction, gate closed for 300 days
Before Lin Jiu had finished saying “Wait until I finish the lawsuit”, the mission had already arrived.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Why on earth does he want to accumulate treasure chests by completing quests
Lin Jiu discussed with the system whether this task could be postponed for a few days
This period of time is too important. In addition to his own lawsuit, there is another thing that Lin Jiu pays more attention to—the death of Si Shen is approaching.
If he accepted this mission, he would definitely miss Si Xu's birthday. He also wanted to prepare a birthday banquet for Si Xu to thank him for his care during this period. If he went to do the mission, wouldn't he miss it perfectly
The task has been issued. As long as the host completes the task within the specified time, the host can delay the time at will.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Is this what he meant
Lin Jiu took a deep breath and calculated the time. Si Xu's life limit was time on the Earth plane, and he still had time. The mission limit was time on the Demon Sea plane, one day on the Earth plane, and five days on the Demon Sea plane. Lin Jiu decided to wait one more day to see if the result could come out.
Lin Jiu was ready to complete the mission and come back early, as he didn't want to miss Si Xu's life.
He waited anxiously until the next day, and the result really came, and it was announced that day.
The fact that the result was achieved so quickly was not only because the matter was too serious, but also because of the help of Captain Lu and others, otherwise it would not have been possible so quickly.
According to Lin Jiu's breach of contract compensation, he must pay the company 3 million yuan in liquidated damages for each year of breach of contract. Lin Jiu still has 11 years on his contract, so the total liquidated damages are 33 million yuan.
Lin Jiu privately stopped operating for one year, causing breach of contract compensation at work and compensation for loss of reputation of the agency, totaling 5.758 million yuan.
Lin Jiu's termination compensation totaled 10,000 yuan. Since Lin Jiu had already paid 40 million yuan in breach of contract compensation to Chuangxing in advance, Chuangxing had to return the extra money to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiukai said that he did not want any of the refunded money and asked a lawyer to help him donate all the money to a children's welfare home.
As for why he didn't donate himself, the reason was naturally that he had to go out to purchase goods and the shop was temporarily closed.
This time, Lin Jiu posted the news of suspending business on Weibo, so that many people would see it and no one would go there in vain.
"Chuangxing" is now in trouble, with its artists constantly being involved in scandals. The company will also face huge fines, and whether it can survive is another matter. Among them, Mr. Zhang, Qiu E and Duan Chengzhou have all violated the law and will be prosecuted.
Duan Chengzhou's career as an artist came to an end.
Fans of Duan Chengzhou cried and wailed, not believing that their idol was such a person. Moreover, this matter was full of weirdness. The senior executives, agents and artists of "Chuangxing" exposed themselves one after another, asking if they had cast a spell? Otherwise, why would they do such a thing? !
Various theories about ghosts and gods are rampant, and the Internet is in a mess.
