To Qi Xi's surprise, the person in charge of the film and television company actually showed up at the law firm on time the next day, and stopped cursing. This time the other party brought a lawyer, and finally assumed the attitude of talking about things in business.
When it comes to negotiations, Gu Xuehan is very capable. She has already communicated with Chen Xiang about the bottom line of Chen Xiang and Ai Xiangfang, and almost vigorously gave the film and television company several feasible compensation plans for breach of contract. In order to express her apology for voluntary breach of contract, Chen Xiang One side is willing to give the other party a certain degree of compensation as emotional comfort in addition to the amount agreed in the contract.
Once the cooperation of film and television projects starts, it will involve a huge amount of investment. If the project is promoted at the beginning, there will be many obstructions from the original party. After the real money is invested, it will be more passive if disputes arise again. Therefore, this time, the film and television company The person in charge reluctantly accepted the compensation plan that was most beneficial to him.
But before leaving, he still couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Fortunately, I just purchased the copyright and haven't formally invested in the promotion. Otherwise, if the progress is too fast, I may have to bear the losses myself."
"However, Ai Xiang can't go far, his eyelids are too shallow. Originally, I had already found a first-line team to produce his new book project. Although the price of film and television copyright was indeed not the highest, he was not popular at that time. The price I gave was very sincere at that time. And although I am a rough-talking person, I have been in the film and television industry for more than 20 years. My project production and actors are definitely not bad. I also plan to find a well-known screenwriter, and I'm about to sign a contract, but now that he's making such a fuss, it's fine, let him do whatever he wants."
The other party sneered and said: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Now the industry can afford such a price of 20 million. I also know which company it is. I can only say that it is a mud-legged person. The real estate boss took it for granted to project the video." , There is no one in the team who has led a complete project. I will see how I can help him develop the project. The temptation of 20 million is great, but there is no business ethics to break the contract for the sake of money. I can only He said that sooner or later he would be buried in a pit."
When the two parties reach a cooperation, they must say good things about each other. Once the partnership is broken up, they can naturally say all kinds of ugly curses.
Chen Xiang didn't care too much about this. Although she was the breaching party, she was well-educated and her attitude was very gentle. She just apologized and accepted the other party's almost personal attacks several times.
Qi Xi felt that if it weren't for her attitude, the film and television company might not have agreed to terminate the contract so quickly.
Chen Xiang is obviously very satisfied with this negotiation, and he also thanked Gu Xuehan repeatedly: "After my husband signs the entrustment contract, it should be sent to the law firm today, and the contact information of lawyer Xiao Qi left behind, I will let my husband as soon as possible after the follow-up Pay the lawyer's fee, thank you so much this time."
The first case was solved much more smoothly than he thought, and Qi Xi was also relieved.
And not long after, she really received the entrustment agreement signed by Ai Xiang by courier.
only…
Qi Xi glanced at it casually, and then found that the courier was a courier from the same city.
Didn't Chen Xiang say that Ai Xiang went on a business trip
But it's obvious...
Maybe it's back
Qi Xi quickly applied for a seal according to the procedures in the office and finished the entrustment agreement contract, and then contacted Chen Xiang to send back one of the duplicate copies.
Qi Xi tentatively asked: "Ms. Chen, should I send it to you or to your husband?"
Chen Xiang smiled very gently on the phone: "You can just send it to me, he is still on a business trip to discuss cooperation."
…
Qi Xi hung up the phone, still feeling a little complicated.
She heard Zhao Yiran say that Chen Xiang was a lecturer in the university, and he had a stable and decent job. Before Ai Xiang became famous, this job supported the lives of the two of them. But after Ai Xiang became famous, there were a lot of interviews, cooperation or trivial work, so Chen Xiang resigned and helped him deal with these trivial matters as Ai Xiang's assistant, including proofreading manuscripts on weekdays, correcting typos and sentences, and now coming forward to hire a lawyer Talk about canceling the contract, etc.
But... Ai Xiang's money doesn't look like it was handed over to Chen Xiang. Because if it is not only about work matters, but even the financial power is handed over to Chen Xiang, the legal fee does not need to be paid after Ai Xiang returns home from a "business trip".
Although the case is over, Qi Xi is somewhat curious.
During the lunch break, she checked the information about Ai Xiang on the Internet.
Ai Xiang is naturally a pen name, and the meaning of the pen name is also related to his wife, which is taken from the homonym of "Ai Xiang".
Qi Xi turned to Ai Xiang's Weibo, and found that besides promoting his own works, the content of his Weibo was almost all about his wife, including a love sentence to his wife every day, and frequent showing off his love for his wife.
Because of the recent popularity of "Fengxian", Ai Xiang was also invited to participate in many on-camera interviews. In almost every interview, he couldn't help talking about his wife, so the public gave him the title of "wife showman".
It is precisely because of this that Zhao still feels that he is in love with a fairy.
Ai Xiang is actually not good-looking, even ugly, and his weight management has obviously been completely given up because of long-term home writing. He has dark skin and a little triangular eyes, but his conversation is indeed humorous, and he has a lot of love and love. His wife's loyalty not only won him a large number of Zhao Yiran's female fans, but also a large number of male supporters. From him, he gained a sense of substitution to counterattack and reach the pinnacle of life—as long as you have an interesting soul, you can attract Beautiful skin.
This was originally a beautiful and positive story, but the more Qi Xi watched Ai Xiang's interview video, the more uncomfortable he felt—
"Yes, I am almost obedient to my wife. I will take her to the most expensive revolving restaurant on the top floor. I have prepared nine hundred and ninety-nine roses and airlifted red wine from France..."
"I just hope she doesn't have to work, because my current income can fully support her."
"Actually, I went to apply for a property security guard in her community at that time, and fell in love with her at first sight. At that time, I really worked hard to chase her. I wrote love letters every day and squatted at the door of her house every day. She is good-looking. There are also many other suitors who drive luxury cars, and I just make excuses every day to keep people from entering the community... She didn't call me at first, kept refusing me, and even warned me to call the police, but in the end she never called the police. me."
In the video, the host laughed and joked that Ai Xiang was a "jealous king", and the comments below were full of laughter, but Qi Xi felt extremely uncomfortable.
Isn't Ai Xiang's behavior just a harassment of a wretched man? How could it become love just because it succeeded in the end? Moreover, his behavior of showing off his wife is not so much a compliment to his wife, it is better to say that the subject is ultimately talking about himself, and he is also praising himself-I am amazing, even though I am poor and not well-educated, I still pursue the wife who counterattacked Bai Fumei. Now I make a lot of money, so I give my wife a lot of romance that seems extravagant...
However, does Chen Xiang really need these
Qi Xi always feels that, in terms of Chen Xiang's temperament, she is not the kind of person who has high material desires or likes a high-profile and luxurious life. On the contrary, the faint tiredness in her brows and eyes can't be concealed, and the look of rushing to pick up the child is still lingering In Qi Xi's heart.
It was also at this time that the sound of pulling the seat next to him brought Qi Xi back to his thoughts.
It was Gu Yan who came back.
Gu Yan went to the court to file a case in the morning, so he did not participate in the negotiation of Chen Xiang and Ai Xiang's contract termination.
Qi Xi immediately synchronized the progress of the successful contract termination with Gu Yan, and then thanked: "Gu Yan, you still have a way, the other party finally arrived on time at 10:30."
"kindness."
It's a pity that Gu Yan didn't have much reaction, he just sat down and turned on the computer, as if preparing to bury his head in his work.
However, Qi Xi discovered something unusual.
Gu Yan, who always liked to wear cool-toned clothes, actually wore a pink shirt today!
Most boys don't look good in light pink shirts, but Gu Yan can really control this color because of his high-grade cool white skin.
Frankly speaking, he looks really good in this pink shirt.
Originally, Qi Xi couldn't imagine him wearing pink, but now that he saw it, what he flattered before had come true.
"Pink really suits you, Gu Yan!"
"Are you bored? Can you focus on something professional?"
But having said that, Qi Xi still keenly noticed that although his voice was icy, Gu Yan's face obviously looked better.
"Gu Yan Daquan" is not deceiving me, Gu Yan really likes pink! I also like to be recognized and praised for my preferences!
It seems that what I said before has no effect at all! After all, if Gu Yan didn't listen to his praise, would he be brave enough to be himself and wear this pink shirt to work for the first time in his life
It can be seen that my encouragement, understanding and tolerance have given Gu Yan great support in his heart.
Qi Xi's heart is full of passion to keep on working hard, as long as the kung fu is ground into a needle, no matter how cold or difficult Gu Yan is, if he does what he likes every day, is he afraid that he will not be able to coexist peacefully with him in the end
Gu Yan is the first every time, but Wudi is so lonely, if there is someone around him who is not inferior to him, and can support and agree with his weird hobbies, wouldn't he be able to cherish each other soon
Thinking of this, Qi Xi took out a whole fresh durian that he bought on his lunch break just now, and placed it heavily on Gu Yan's desk: "Gu Yan, I bought this for you specially!"
Probably, he aimed too precisely at his preferences. The moment he took out the durian, Qi Xi felt that Gu Yan's heart was shaken violently, because his eyes stared at the durian in astonishment and complexity. After a long silence, he seemed to find his sound and reason—
"What do you mean by buying this?"
To get closer and become good friends, the first step is to become like-minded. Whenever two people have the same hobbies and similar interests, they can always get along quickly.
Although Qi Xi doesn't like durian, and is even a little afraid of the taste, she still calmly said under Gu Yan's gaze: "Because my favorite fruit is durian, although many people don't like its taste, but I still bear it." I can’t help giving it to the whole universe! I believe that I will find someone who loves durian as much as I do!”
Gu Yan didn't answer directly, but only looked at Qi Xi: "You like durian very much?" He stared at her with dark eyes, "Then why have you never seen you eat it in college?"
Although I haven't eaten durian in college, but from what Gu Yan said, it seems that I know my every move very well.
Qi Xi said with a dry smile: "The dormitory of the university, look, the durian has not been opened yet, and you can smell it if you get close. Only when I eat with people I like like myself can I feel the atmosphere, they don’t like it, even if I don’t mind the taste, I’m lonely if I eat it alone.”
The groundwork is almost done, and the final blow is short of it.
Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan inadvertently: "If you like it, we can eat durian together in the future! It happens that one person can't finish it! I usually can't find a fellow, so I don't have a chance to eat it! So Gu Yan , do you like durian?"
Gu Yan stared at the huge durian on the table, probably too surprised to be able to speak at all, he seemed to be fixed, he was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Qi Xi again, as if holding back I had to choke out two words—
"good."
Qi Xi didn't expect that Gu Yan was quite shy, he had already said this, this man is still so reserved, facing such a big Musang King super durian, he can still sit still and say " It's okay", he said so reluctantly, and he pretended to be so!
If it weren't for the "Gu Yan Daquan" in hand, Qi Xi might not be able to see through Gu Yan's duplicity.
Gu Yan stared at the durian with an indescribable expression and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he turned his head to look at Qi Xi: "So you want me to eat this durian with you?"
"No, no! No need! I bought two! Another one was delivered to my house! You can take this one home! Let's eat at each house!"
What's the matter, just smelling the smell of this durian at this moment, Qi Xi can't wait to hold her breath, let alone wait to open this thing to eat, she can't understand Gu Yan's preference for this kind of fruit at all.
Gu Yan looked at Qi Xi: "Didn't you just say that eating alone makes you feel lonely?"
"No no! Now that I have found you, I am no longer lonely in my heart! Even though I am not eating in the same space, I know in my heart that in the same city, there is a person who loves durian and tastes this delicacy with the same mood as me. Durian, I feel like I have a home!"
Gu Yan pursed his lips and looked at Durian, then stopped talking.
However, although he can enjoy his durian all by himself, Gu Yan doesn't look too happy. Could it be... Could it be that he bought it too small
Qi Xi hurriedly remedied: "Next time you go to the supermarket with me, we'll make a bigger one. I want to bring it back at noon today, so I can only make a smaller one."
Gu Yan must have thought Qi Xi was too small, so Gu Yan completely ignored Qi Xi.
However, Gu Xuehan's internal phone call quickly broke the silence between the two—
"There is a contract with a partner that will be signed tomorrow. The other party proposed to sign the contract in a bilingual version, so you have to translate the English version tonight. I am a little anxious. I will send you an email later. The two of you will divide the work, and it may be a little longer. class later."
As a trainee lawyer who has just started working, Qi Xi is still in an excited state full of energy and has nowhere to vent. Now that she has received the task, she is simply full of enthusiasm—she has learned legal English quite well in her undergraduate course, and she is full of confidence in translating contracts. .
Isn't this a good opportunity to flatter Gu Yan
Qi Xi immediately looked at Gu Yan, and said sincerely: "Gu Yan, you can go home and rest normally after get off work tonight. I don't need you for the contract translation, just leave it to me alone! You take the durian and go home and have a good time. enjoy!"
As soon as Qi Xi's voice fell, Gu Xuehan's email notification message also arrived.
Qi Xi still had a considerate smile on Gu Yan's face, then she casually opened the email attachment and saw—
A fifty-page contract.
And the remaining smile on Qi Xi's face gradually froze as he looked down at the contract.
The fifty-page contract is not a general template clause. This is a bulk purchase agreement for optical instruments, because when it comes to the model and performance of the instruments, most of the words are very professional, and the "definition" part that Qi Xi can't even understand in Chinese is as long as two pages...
Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan with a dry smile: "Gu Yan...or..."
Gu Yan also saw the email, and now he is looking at Qi Xi calmly: "Didn't you just tell me to leave work early? If so, I'll leave first."
"..." Qi Xi was embarrassed to repent directly, so he could only find an excuse in a hurry, "I think your durian is too big, you can eat it alone, it is easy to get angry, I thought about it, and it is true to eat durian together There is an atmosphere, why don't you stay and we eat together?"
Qi Xi didn't give Gu Yan a chance to refuse, and continued: "But everyone hasn't got off work yet, and the food tastes too much now, why don't you just stay and translate the contract with me, and when all the colleagues are gone later, let's find someone Eat durian together in the meeting room."
Qi Xi's words were pure nonsense, she didn't have much hope that Gu Yan would stay, but to her surprise, Gu Yan put down the computer bag and sat back at the desk: "Okay."
He didn't look at Qi Xi again, but he still coughed lightly, as if explaining: "Oh, my parents don't like durians, the smell is too strong to eat at home, it's okay to be in the meeting room later, let's ventilate after eating. "
Then Gu Yan turned on the computer and downloaded the contract attachment: "I will translate the first twenty-five pages, and you will translate the last twenty-five pages."
When he said this, he glanced at Qi Xi casually: "Anyway, I have to wait for my colleagues to leave, and I just have nothing to do, so I will stay and translate it, so that you can finish the translation earlier and open the durian earlier." He paused and added Said, "It happens that I don't know how to drive."
That's just wonderful!
And... Although it sounds fair for each person to translate twenty-five pages, the "definitions" and professional terms in the contract are mainly concentrated on the first twenty-five pages that Gu Yan is in charge of, and the next twenty-five pages, almost They are all normal legal terms and clauses such as rights and obligations of both parties, liability for breach of contract, and confidentiality agreement.
I have to say that Gu Yan's work efficiency is really strong. Although he is quite scary as an opponent, once he becomes a teammate, he is an existence that people can rely on with peace of mind—
"I scanned it, and your later clauses also involve the translation of some technical terms. It happens that I will translate the first twenty-five pages. For the sake of uniformity in the translation of the contract, you can leave these technical terms empty. When I finish translating, I will Here, I will organize the manuscripts. Then we will cross-check the respective translations and polish them."
Qi Xi almost made an OK gesture quickly: "No problem."
Once the two of them entered the working state, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly.
Although it was the first time to work together with Gu Yan, they unexpectedly had a tacit understanding, because the two had the same level of legal English, there was no obstacle in communicating with each other, and the efficiency and speed were similar.
In the past, Qi Xi hated the way of group study, and preferred to work alone, because the members in the same group often couldn't keep up with her speed or thinking so quickly, but this time, the cooperation with Gu Yan gave her the first taste of having a companion. It's good - the two of them worked together and translated the contract in no time.
At this moment, it was nearly nine o'clock in the evening, and there were indeed no other colleagues in the office.
this…
Although Qi Xi was extremely unwilling, she also knew that it was time to open durians for Gu Yan...
Durian is so smelly... Qi Xi doesn't like to eat it either...
But... I have said that I also like durian, and I have agreed to translate it so that two people can share it together...
Qi Xi could only pretend to be a happy smile, and bravely picked up the huge durian and went to the conference room: "Go, Gu Yan, it's time to enjoy life! The happy durian time has begun!"
Gu Yan was probably too involved in the translation, the professional vocabulary made him tired from translating, and he didn't realize it all at once. When he saw the durian in Qi Xi's hand, he even looked a little dazed.
But even though he was in a trance, Gu Yan followed Qi Xi into the meeting room.
Qi Xi spent a lot of effort to pry open the durian with a fruit knife. Almost as soon as he opened it, the indescribable smell wafted throughout the conference room. With a calm expression, he even forcefully squeezed out a few smiles at Gu Yan, trying to get close with the common hobbies again—
"Gu Yan, smelling this familiar scent, my mood immediately improved. In fact, I really don't understand why some people don't like durian. It's so delicious, but you will share durian with me in the future. Happy, we will be friends from now on!"
But maybe it's just a durian, not enough to buy off the cold Gu Yan, this man was a little expressionless when facing his favorite durian, but his slightly frowned brows still revealed his expressionless face The mood swings, he seemed to be trying his best to endure something.
Need to say? This must be enduring the great joy and satisfaction of facing deliciousness!
Gu Yan is really a person who is unwilling to face his true desires! Fake!
You see, in the face of such a big and mature durian, why do you still do the same thing that Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your face? Isn't it just to pass on a concept to Qi Xi-won't he forgive himself easily because of a durian's bribe
But that's all right.
Holding her breath, Qi Xi thought confidently, if one durian is not enough, then two, if two are not enough, then three...
As long as she insists, if it doesn't work, there will be a durian offensive every week. Are you afraid that Gu Yan will not reveal his true feelings to the durian in the end
As she thought about it, she immediately took out the biggest piece of durian meat, put it on a disposable plate and handed it to Gu Yan: "Come on! The biggest piece is for you!"
Probably because of his initiative to show his favor, Gu Yan held the durian. Under the expressionless appearance, the eyes seemed to be deeper and more complicated. After careful identification, it seemed that there was a little...
Feel like dying
So it's because you can't hit the smiling face with your hand. Facing the durian offensive at the moment, although you don't want to forgive yourself in your heart, even if it's Gu Yan, you will feel a little embarrassed
Under Qixi's hatred and Qixi's love for durians at the moment, Gu Yan was so entangled in conflict that he wanted to die
It seems that this step is really on the right track.
In order to integrate into this new team, Qi Xi feels that all the sacrifices he has made at this moment are worthwhile.
Thinking of this, she also cut a large piece of durian, and immediately under Gu Yan's complicated expression, holding her breath, pretending to be extremely happy, she ate the durian meat in big mouthfuls.
At that moment, Qi Xi was about to burst into tears.
Gu Yan was stunned, he hadn't eaten yet, but just looked at Qi Xi: "Why do you look like you're about to cry? Isn't it delicious?"
Qi Xi's eyes were filled with tears: "It's delicious! How could it not be delicious?! It's so delicious! It's delicious in the world! Thinking that someone will accompany me to eat this time, I almost cry with joy!"
Help me... This smell is too strong... How come it smells so bad after eating it in your mouth? Can I still have it when I go home and brush my teeth...
However, under Gu Yan's sight, afraid of being spotted by him, Qi Xi passionately performed his love for durian: "Eat it and make people want to eat it! I can't stop!"
How could I buy such a big durian with my poor hands? Next time I will definitely buy a smaller...
Huang Tian paid off, his performance may finally make Gu Yan let go of his guard, and fully admit that he is also his durian lover. The man just lowered his head, looked at the durian in his hand, and then, as if he had done a lot of psychological construction, he took the first step to forgive Qi Xi—
He took a bite of the durian Qi Xi bought.
good! The first step in the Long March!
Qi Xi held back the unpalatable taste in his mouth, wishing he could applaud Gu Yan on the spot.
Soon, Gu Yan ate a second and third mouthful with an indescribably complex expression...
It's just that this man probably likes durian so much, and he hasn't eaten it for a long time. It's the first time Qixi found out that Gu Yan eats so fast, he can be called a wolf. You know, he has always eaten durian. The slow elegance of things is regarded by many girls as a gentleman.
It seems that the durian I bought is of very good quality, completely in line with Gu Yan's taste! See how fast he eats, as if he swallows it whole without chewing.
This comforted Qi Xi, who had made a huge sacrifice, and continued to eat durian with Gu Yan with a forced smile.
After finishing most of the durians, Qi Xi felt that his sense of taste and smell was only one step away from necrosis.
Gu Yan also ate a lot, but he didn't seem to be full of energy because of eating durian, but he looked like he had been ravaged and was quite tired.
Probably the previous translation was too tiring!
Today's twenty-five pages of technical terminology translation is really thanks to Gu Yan!
She looked at Gu Yan: "Is the durian delicious?"
Gu Yan seemed to be slowing down for a moment before looking out the window, his expression was still a little dazed, and then he choked out two words—
"good."
Duplicity!
Qi Xi thought about it, and felt that he should buy more durians next time to reward Gu Yan.
After bearing the burden a few more times, Qi Xi felt that he would soon be friends with Gu Yan.
