Chapter 2055: Chapter 2050: Everyone Has Their Own Agenda

Hearing Lin Kuang’s order, he pushed up his glasses and started speaking with a fawning smile.

"Station Director Lin, saying it like that is way too much! Being able to serve you is my honor."

"Mm!"

With a satisfied smile, Lin Kuang looked at Xie Wenwen again and said arrogantly, "Alright, go talk to her about the compensation. Since she’s decided to breach the contract, she should’ve thought this through a long time ago. So she’s probably already mentally prepared."

"Got it! I’ll have a good talk with her."

After speaking in that refined, scholarly tone, he took a step forward.

After straightening his clothes a bit, he opened the contract he carried with him. He glanced through it, then raised his head, looked at Xie Wenwen, and said coolly, "Xie Wenwen, right? Previously, you signed a contract with us. The contract hasn’t expired yet, and now you’re planning to breach it, is that correct?"

"Yes, I’m planning to breach it."

Xie Wenwen nodded quickly...

She really was planning to breach the contract and pay the penalty, so there was no need to hide it...

After getting a definite answer, he looked down at the contract in his hand again. "Since that’s the case, let’s talk about the penalty. I did a rough calculation earlier; the total liquidated damages you have to pay is thirty-five million."

"What did you say? Thirty-five million? Are you kidding me?"

Xie Wenwen stared wide-eyed in shock.

It wasn’t just Xie Wenwen; Tai Yan and Xiaobei, standing off to the side, were also stunned...

Because they were also scared by that outrageous number.

"I don’t have the time or mood to joke with you. It is thirty-five million. Are you paying cash or card?"

The lawyer pushed up his glasses again and spoke with a cold tone.

Snapped at like that, Xie Wenwen came back to her senses. "Don’t bully me just because I don’t know the law. I’ve read the contract before. According to the amount in the contract, I only need to pay one million."

"That’s in the normal situation. But now that you’re suddenly leaving, the TV station is suffering a huge loss, so there has to be additional compensation."

"Huge loss? What do you mean by ’loss’? I don’t get it."

"For example, right now, the station has already done sufficient promotion, and you’re just walking away. That means all the promotion the station did was wasted. Shouldn’t you compensate for that?"

"Promotion? Are you messing with me? The Station Director didn’t think much of this show at all before! Under those circumstances, you’re telling me you still did promotion? Are you brain‑damaged or what?"

Xie Wenwen looked at them and let out a disdainful sneer...

At this point she wasn’t giving them any face, since things were already completely torn apart.

"Even if we didn’t think highly of this show, we still had to promote it! Because we believed in you."

The lawyer rubbed his nose awkwardly and spoke in a softer voice.

Hearing this kind of meaningless excuse, Xie Wenwen kept sneering. "Believed in me? Then why did you outright reject all my previous shows? We’re all adults here, so stop spouting this useless crap!"

"How is that useless crap? This is proper business. If you don’t agree to this amount, then our contract can only continue! According to the contract, this new show of yours still belongs to the station."

The dagger was finally revealed!

Before coming here, Lin Kuang had already discussed it with this lawyer: jack up the penalty amount like crazy so she wouldn’t be able to pay.

If she couldn’t come up with the money, she wouldn’t be able to terminate the contract. Then he would be able to keep that new show firmly in his hands.

"So that’s your real goal!"

Xie Wenwen narrowed her eyes.

Now she understood that the number they’d just thrown out was purely to scare her.

The real purpose was to take the show.

"What ’real goal’? Our only goal is termination! Since you don’t have enough money for the penalty, you naturally can’t terminate, so the show naturally belongs to the station."

"You’re being way too shameless!"

"So what if we’re shameless? You gonna bite me?"

Seeing Xie Wenwen get angry, Lin Kuang burst out laughing...

In his mind, he’d already thrown shame out the window...

In front of such a good show, what use is a sense of shame...

As long as he could secure this show, the entire coming year would be nice and cozy for him.

...

"Of course we’re not going to bite you. After all, if you get bitten by a dog, there’s no need to bite the dog back, right?"

Seeing that Xie Wenwen was so angry she couldn’t even speak, Xiaobei spoke up coldly.

From the very first second he laid eyes on this guy, Xiaobei had found him extremely annoying.

Now, after seeing what he was doing, Xiaobei found him even more disgusting.

Even so, Xiaobei held back the urge to beat them up, because he really didn’t want to dirty his hands.

"Who are you? Make yourself clear. Who are you calling a dog?"

Lin Kuang’s expression went cold in an instant.

Xiaobei glanced at the yelling man and said coolly, "Whoever bites people at random, I call that person a dog."

Lin Kuang frowned. Very quickly, he let out a cold laugh.

"No wonder Xie Wenwen suddenly brought up termination. So someone’s been stirring the pot! Tell me, what exactly are you trying to get out of pitting us against each other?"

"Stirring the pot? Do I need to? Whatever you’re thinking is written all over your face. Enough, I’m not interested in wasting words with you."

With a cold wave of his hand, Xiaobei snapped his fingers crisply.

"Oh, so you’re calling for backup? Good! I’ll stand right here and watch. I’d really like to see what kind of backup you can call."

Lin Kuang’s face was full of indifference!

In his eyes, this young man was just some ordinary guy.

People like that couldn’t possibly call in any big shots, so he didn’t need to care at all.

"You’ll find out in a second."

Xiaobei gave a light smile, sat down, and calmly went back to brewing tea.

"In a second? I—"

Just as he was about to throw out another taunt, Lin Kuang suddenly heard a noise behind him.

"Looks like the backup’s here. Gotta say, they’re pretty fast!"

With that mocking drawl, he turned his head with a disdainful look.

But when he saw the "backup" Xiaobei had called, the contempt on his face froze solid.

Because what appeared before his eyes wasn’t a person, but a White Wolf and a Black Tiger, eyes bulging like bronze bells, staring right at him.

"What the hell is this?"

He was dumbfounded!

It wasn’t just him; the lawyer with the glasses was completely stupefied as well.

Because he’d never imagined something like this would happen.

Earlier, when he saw Xiaobei call someone, he hadn’t been nervous at all.

Because he was a lawyer and had seen a ton of "calling in backup" situations before.

But ninety‑nine percent of people never actually dared to throw a punch.

So there was really nothing to be nervous about...

Only now, he really was nervous.

Because the backup Xiaobei had called weren’t people at all, but a White Wolf and a Black Tiger that already looked terrifying at first glance...
