Chapter 284: Who’s Our CEO?

“Since you refuse to treat her equitably, then at least don’t stand in her way. It looks like neither of you is satisfied with each other, so let’s end the contract.”

Fu Xiuyu replied, “Every company has a plan for their signed actors. For an actor to have highs and lows is very normal in the entertainment industry. If all the actors come out and complain, then who should be taken care of first?”

“Ending the contract? There is no way I would agree to that.”

“Plus, her acting range is narrow and she’s reached a plateau. She’s no better than a complete newbie.”

“If she leaves Star Entertainment, you really think her career will get better than what it is now?”

“So you still see value in me and want to use me. You don’t think you’ve depleted me enough?!” Bai Weiwei shouted, “Even if I don’t do as well after leaving, I refuse to be the ladder your sister steps on to crawl her way up! It’s now me one-sidedly asking for the termination of contract!”

Fu Xiuyu nodded, “We can terminate. The cost of breaking the original contract will be $800,000,000.”

“What?!” Bai Weiwei widened her eyes, “Isn’t it $10,000,000?”

Fu Xiuyu said, “That was your previous contract. Did you not read over your renewal?”

Fu Siying chimed in, “As one of the most prominent actresses, you don’t even have $80,000,000? How embarrassing!”

Bai Weiwei’s entire body shook when she heard this.

She hadn’t gotten an acting job for the past two years. The money she made before was sent to her parents.

Even if the contract breaking fee was $10,000,000, she would need to dump out all of her savings. For her to tell them she wanted to terminate was no easy feat.

$80,000,000? That would cost her her life!

She gulped, “Don’t you think you’re taking this too far?!”

Fu Xiuyu, “As you said, I’m a corporate capitalist. I’m not a not-for-profit. Capitalists will always seek for profit. The worst you could do as a capitalist is to have a soft heart.”

Clap, clap, clap... The sound of clapping suddenly appeared, “Look at you, going all out for profit. CEO of Star Entertainment, you sure make me admire you.”

Fu Xiuyu glanced over and froze instantly, “Director Gu, how rare of you to visit. What can I do for you?”

Gu Xinze said, “Of course I’m here to talk about terminating actress Bai’s contract.”

Fu Xiuyu’s eyes glossed over, “Sky Entertainment is going to pay the $80M for her?”

Gu Xinze, “Why not?”

Bai Weiwei was shocked, “You are... Sky Entertainment’s CEO?”

Gu Xinze nodded, “Ms. Bai, would you like to sign with Sky Entertainment?”

Bai Weiwei answered, “As you know, my audition this time was lacking next to a new actress. To spend $80M on me, is that worth it?”

Gu Xinze shook his head, “The entertainment industry is like a tub filled with ink. How rare it is for you to remember where you came from and what your goals are. To remain a woman with so much integrity, you are worth way more than $80M.”

“Plus, our CEO had said that leaking your audition tape should’ve offended you. Not only did you not get mad, but you also took our actress’s side. She admires you very much and would love for you to join our team.”

“As for your skills: you’ve won the best actress title so your capability does not warrant any doubt. All actors may or may not encounter characters that suit them. Don’t deny yourself early.”

Fu Xiuyu caught something, “You are not the one in control of Sky Entertainment? Who’s your CEO then?”

“You sure overestimate me. I’m merely a salaried worker working for my CEO.” Gu Xinze said, “As for who our CEO is... I’m sorry, I have no response.”

Fu Xiuyu was furious and said in a low voice, “Then, Director Gu, please prepare $80M!!”

“There’s no rush for that.” Gu Xinze walked up to Bai Weiwei as he spoke...
