After the divorce, I started to transfer

I returned home before the two girls from Sun and Wu got off work.

It was quite busy every day, but he enjoyed it, otherwise Chen Feng would definitely want to stay at home all the time.

But there is no way, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

He has so many female friends who need his comfort, so he has to shoulder this responsibility.

When the two girls came back today, they both looked a little unhappy.

Chen Feng took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter? You all look a little strange."

This time, Sun Xiaorui took the lead and said, "Jiang Shumin wants to terminate the contract with our company. She said she wants to open her own studio and not be affiliated with any company. She chooses to work alone."

Jiang Shumin is a contracted female artist who was bought in a package from the original company. She is considered the heroine in "River and Mountain", but the highlights of that drama are all on the two male protagonists, and there are not many memorable points about her as the heroine.

Therefore, even though "River and Mountain" became a big hit, she actually didn't have much fame. Later, she played a supporting role in "The Jade Case" and became well-known, barely reaching the ranks of a second-tier star.

But compared to Luo Yingying, another person who was packaged away from the original company, her popularity is much weaker.

Luo Yingying is now considered a first-line star, and Jiang Shumin is obviously lagging behind.

Not to mention that their company now has top female artists such as Zhang Jingwen, Zhang Yuxi, and He Xiaofeng.

Chen Feng asked: "Is she planning to terminate the contract with us just because she wants to work alone? Is there any other reason?"

This time Wu Mengting spoke up: "Although she didn't say it explicitly, she is mainly resentful towards us. She considers herself a veteran of our company, older than Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Jingwen who joined our company later. The company should have promoted her first, but ended up promoting Zhang Yuxi and the others first."

Chen Feng was not surprised by this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since she wants to leave, there is no point in forcing her to stay. How long is her contract? How much is the penalty for breach of contract?"

Sun Xiaorui said: "The contract still has two years left, and the penalty is 3000 million, but she is definitely not willing to pay so much, so she came to us to negotiate and pay us 1000 million in liquidated damages."

The penalty of 1000 million is not a small amount. Chen Feng was still a little surprised and asked, "Did she pay for it herself? Is she willing to do so?"

Jiang Shumin's family conditions seem to be rather average. Although she has become somewhat famous in the past year or so, she probably doesn't make much, probably only 20 or 30 million at most. It's really courageous of her to pay 10 million in one go as a penalty.

Sun Xiaorui said, "I asked someone about it. She has managed to climb up the social ladder this time and is dating a rich second-generation man in Beijing. This rich second-generation man already has a family, a wife and children, so she is the third party. However, this rich second-generation man is willing to spend a lot of money on her, and he has also introduced her to a lot of resources through his connections some time ago. Two of the endorsements were introduced by her, the sponsor, and the total price added up to 10 million. This means that our company has taken advantage of us and got the share for free. Therefore, if Jiang Shumin really wants to terminate the contract with us, the 10 million termination fee is likely to be paid by her sponsor."

Wu Mengting nodded and said, "I suspect that Jiang Shumin's plan to set up a personal studio was instigated by her sponsor. Otherwise, she would not be so bold."

Chen Feng frowned slightly and asked, "Is her sponsor someone important?"

Wu Mengting said: "There must be some background, otherwise Jiang Shumin would not have the courage to terminate the contract with us in advance and ask us to reduce the penalty."

Chen Feng asked: "What do you think? And what does Ren Ziyu think?"

Sun Xiaorui said: "Mr. Ren said to follow the contract. Since the liquidated damages were 3000 million yuan in the original contract, she has to pay the full amount of liquidated damages if she terminates the contract early. What I mean is that the contract she signed with our company is for three years, and there are only two years left, so the liquidated damages should be 2000 million yuan."

Wu Mengting said: "Xiao Rui is too kind. There is no such thing as annual reduction in the liquidated damages. Besides, our company has not let her down. The reason why she is so popular now is that our company supports her. It's just that we didn't support her like we did Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Jingwen. Not only does she not know how to be grateful, but she also feels resentment towards us, which is definitely not acceptable. Therefore, the liquidated damages must be paid in full, otherwise she will continue to work in our company until the contract expires."

Sun Xiaorui rarely spoke up to argue, "On the surface, our company didn't seem to have done anything wrong to her, but in fact, we all know that we have treated her unfairly. Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Jingwen both joined our company later, and she was ranked before them, so we really didn't promote her. Under such circumstances, it's normal for her to feel angry. In fact, she has made a lot of money for our company in the past two years. Since she wants to leave, we shouldn't make things difficult for her, and we should just part ways in peace."

Wu Mengting said disapprovingly: "Her plasticity is much worse than Zhang Jingwen and Zhang Yuxi, otherwise we would have promoted her a long time ago. But even so, our company has given her a lot of resources, otherwise how could she be so popular now? She doesn't know how to be grateful. Even if we don't ask her to pay the penalty, she won't remember our kindness."

Sun Xiaorui did not argue with Wu Mengting anymore, but looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng said, "Let's give her a discount, 1500 million. This is the lowest price. If she pays, we can terminate the contract peacefully. Otherwise, we'll follow the rules."

After a brief hesitation, Wu Mengting nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, that's the price. If she still doesn't know what's good for her, then she can forget about canceling the contract. We will either hide her or exploit her as much as possible according to the rules."

Chen Feng said, "Don't make things too awkward. Since she has relied on a big money sponsor, the big money sponsor probably won't care about an extra 500 million."

Wu Mengting curled her lips and said, "I hope so."

Chen Feng then asked: "How is Luo Yingying doing? Are you planning to terminate the contract as well?"

Wu Mengting immediately said, "She definitely doesn't have such an idea. Compared to Jiang Shumin, Luo Yingying is much simpler and doesn't have much ambition. I've already told her in advance that she will be the second female lead in the next TV series I'm creating, and I'll tailor the next one for her."

"That's good. Although our company is mainly engaged in film and television production, we must also pay attention to the training and management of artists. Ask Hu Rui to pay more attention and not let things like Jiang Shumin happen again. Jiang Shumin must have had this idea for a long time, and she has resentment in her heart. As the manager of the artist department, doesn't Hu Rui know anything about her situation?"

Wu Mengting said: "Hu Rui admitted her mistakes to me and took the initiative to admit that she had shortcomings in her work."

Chen Feng asked: "Can you give an objective evaluation of Hu Rui's work ability?"

After thinking for a while, Wu Mengting said truthfully: "She is quite skilled in agency affairs, but lacks in artist management. She cannot communicate well with the company's artists, and is not very concerned about the training of the company's artists."

Chen Feng said, "You should hire a more professional person to be the deputy manager of the artist department. Let this person manage and take care of the artists' lives, do a good job of communication, and also take a little charge of the company's trainee training."

Wu Mengting immediately understood the deeper meaning of Chen Feng's arrangement. Finding a more professional person to serve as deputy manager was also a reminder to Hu Rui to increase her initiative and work enthusiasm.

In addition, this deputy manager is actually a backup for Hu Rui, the manager. If Hu Rui makes any mistakes at work again, she will most likely be replaced by this deputy manager.

It was obvious that Chen Feng was actually somewhat dissatisfied with Hu Rui.

"Okay, I understand. I will ask a headhunting company for help tomorrow and will hire a deputy manager as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's not talk about company matters for now. Go heat up the food."

Both girls went to the kitchen obediently.

……

The next day, Saturday.

Wu Mengting did not forget to contact the headhunting company early in the morning to help find a suitable candidate for deputy manager of the artist department.

After Chen Feng finished his breakfast, he went out.

This time he went to Bi Bo Garden first.

He hadn't seen his precious daughter and son for two days, and he missed them a little, but that passed.

Just like last time, Chen Feng also met the two women and the child together this time, but the meeting place was changed to Hong Xiaodan's place.

"My daughter has missed you so much these past two days and has been calling daddy all the time. You are so cruel that you just don't come to see her." Seeing Chen Feng holding his baby daughter and teasing her, Liu Ying next to him couldn't help nagging.

These two days, she sent Chen Feng photos of her daughter, but Chen Feng didn't reply. This was not a good sign. Before, when she sent him photos or videos of her daughter, he would at least give her a thumbs-up emoticon, but he didn't do that these two days.

Chen Feng didn't want to argue with her, so he said, "I have something to do these two days."

"What can happen to you?" Liu Ying certainly didn't believe it.

Chen Feng ignored her and lay on the foam mat with his daughter, crawling along and having a lot of fun.

Seeing this, Liu Ying stopped nagging and did not annoy others any more.

Hong Xiaodan took advantage of the opportunity and immediately carried her son over to play with Chen Feng, then just giggled at the two children.

When Chen Feng saw her smile, he smiled too. It was a very warm scene.

This made Liu Ying, who was watching from the side, feel very uncomfortable, as if she was redundant.

So she immediately went over. However, she would not crawl on the ground like the two adults, she could not do that, at most she would just sit there and play with the child.

"Why does Niu Niu drool so much?" Liu Ying made small talk and immediately focused everyone's attention on Niu Niu.

Hong Xiaodan said: "The nanny said it was because of the baby teeth. It will be fine once the baby teeth grow out."

Liu Ying said: "I don't think so. It could be oral ulcers, herpes or gastrointestinal disorders. They are all possible."

Hong Xiaodan was shocked when she heard this and said, "Don't scare me. I think he is quite energetic."

Liu Ying asked, "How's his appetite?"

Hong Xiaodan replied: "My appetite is pretty good. I drank milk twice last night and once this morning. I also had a small bowl of rice porridge."

Liu Ying said, "It seems that the problem should not be serious. However, I think for safety reasons, we should go to the hospital for a check-up. After all, it is close and I feel more at ease after seeing the hospital."

Hong Xiaodan looked at Chen Feng and said, "Brother, how about I take the child to the hospital?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the child is fine. If he was really unwell, he wouldn't be in such good spirits. If you are worried, take a look at his mouth yourself."

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Hong Xiaodan immediately went to check her son's mouth, but she couldn't see clearly at first. It was not until she found a small flashlight that she could see clearly, which made her son cry loudly.

As expected, there was no problem, and I finally felt relieved.

After Liu Ying had given Hong Xiaodan a little trouble, she felt a lot more relieved.

Chen Feng was a bystander and knew that Liu Ying had done it on purpose in order to torment Hong Xiaodan.

This woman is really not a good person.

However, he wisely did not expose it, nor did he intend to tell Hong Xiaodan about it.

After playing with the two children for a while, the two children were tired and were taken away by their respective nannies to drink milk and sleep.

The three adults on Chen Feng's side suddenly became idle.

Liu Ying looked at Chen Feng with a tearful gaze and whispered, "I bought a new set of clothes. Why don't you come over to my place and I'll put them on for you to see."

Hong Xiaodan heard it, and immediately said, "I also bought a new set of clothes. Why don't you go to my room and I'll put them on for you to see."

After saying that, Hong Xiaodan took action and dragged Chen Feng into her room.

Chen Feng had no choice but to be dragged into her bedroom by her. Seeing this, Liu Ying cursed her inwardly as "slut" and hurriedly followed her in.

Almost two hours later, the three of them came out of the room.

Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan both had smiles on their faces and were holding hands, looking like they were a loving sister.

Chen Feng, who fell behind them, had a worried look on his face and did not look very happy.

He had been working non-stop these past few days, and it was really exhausting. He realized that if he continued like this, it would definitely not work.

But he had no good idea how to find the balance. He couldn't just avoid seeing them forever.

"Chen Feng, what are you thinking about? Come over and have dinner."

Seeing that Chen Feng was in a daze, Liu Ying immediately came over and took him to the dining table to eat.

It was already half past twelve and the three of them were a little hungry, so they sat down and started eating.

Chen Feng ate three bowls of rice in one breath and most of the dishes on the table before he burped in satisfaction.

After finishing his meal, Chen Feng rested for a few minutes and then immediately said goodbye and left. His excuse was very honest: he just wanted to go and accompany other people.

The two women had eaten and drunk their fill today, so they were quite tolerant of this. Even though Liu Ying didn't try to persuade him to stay, they let him go.

After Chen Feng came out of Bibo Garden, he immediately drove to Rongyuan Building to find Shen Lin.

At this time, Shen Lin was already pregnant with their child, so Chen Feng had to come and visit her often.

This time, the time between their meetings was a little longer. When Shen Lin saw Chen Feng again, she was a little excited. She took the initiative to come over and hugged him tightly.

Considering that she is pregnant, her emotions will become sensitive and she will lack a sense of security, so Chen Feng naturally let her hold him.

After a while, Shen Lin finally let him go, wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I thought you wouldn't come over again."

Chen Feng had no choice but to explain: "Didn't I tell you before? I went to the capital."

Shen Lin asked with concern: "Did your trip to Beijing go smoothly?"

"It's going well." Chen Feng nodded, and said apologetically, "I don't have a suitable nanny right now, so why don't you bring your parents over to take care of you first? Otherwise, I'm worried about you being alone." (End of this chapter)
