Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Wu Zhengyuan's expression changed drastically when she heard about the three million Hong Kong dollars in compensation. She knew that she couldn't reason with the lawyer, who only had eyes for the relevant legal provisions, and she didn't know Liao Xia either.

At the same time, she also knew that Ye Qian was soft-hearted and easy to talk to, so she immediately targeted Ye Qian, hoping that Ye Qian could breathe a sigh of relief. Now it was not a matter of renewing the contract, but a matter of her personally facing huge compensation.
From the moment Liao Xia produced the evidence, she never considered the possibility of Ye Qian continuing to sign with Warner. In the end, she would lose her entire cash cow. However, the compensation could not be too harsh. If this money was paid out, the couple's standard of living would plummet.

Especially since Lin Xiang hasn't had any more hit shows, Wu Zhengyuan hopes that Ye Qian will only take her share, and she can give up the remaining hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars!
If it weren't for He Yuzhu's words last night, Ye Qian might have given in. But, Brother Zhu is right, the two of them were just using each other, so it's best to cut ties completely.
Besides, she'll be joining Ho's Entertainment after leaving Warner, and the two companies are competitors, so there's no point in keeping this entanglement. It's completely unnecessary!
"Mr. Wu, you are indeed my mentor, but you also treat me like a cash cow, or rather, a bank. Anyway, I have entrusted Attorney Liao with all the work. Today is the expiration of the contract, and I'm here to pack up my things. Attorney Liao, thank you for your help!"

Ye Qian wanted to say more, but she lost interest as she spoke and got up to leave!

"Ye Qian, you know Warner's influence in the entertainment industry. Are you really going to be so ruthless? Are you determined to go against Warner?"

Seeing that Ye Qian wanted to leave, Wu Zhengyuan immediately stopped putting on a smiling face. What a damn ingrate! Without my support, could you have gotten to where you are today? Could you have become a target for He's Entertainment to recruit?

"Mr. Wu, your words and actions just now involved threatening my client. I have already collected evidence. Are you sure you want to continue with this attitude?"

Liao Xia took out a voice recorder, waved it, and put it in her bag. As a lawyer, she naturally had the right to collect evidence. What she had just said did have a threatening element to Ye Qian. Whether she could win the case depended on her ability!

In truth, Liao Xia hoped that Ye Qian would file a lawsuit involving the popular singer Ye Qian, which would surely cause a huge uproar. This would attract various magazines to report on her case, which would benefit her fame, and He Yuzhu would also be able to understand her true strength.

Unfortunately, Gao Ling had instructed that all decisions should be made by Ye Qian, and her job was to protect Ye Qian's interests and not to mislead or exploit her, otherwise the big boss would be unhappy!
"I……"

Wu Zhengyuan was extremely frustrated. It concerned Ye Qian's lawsuit, and she dared not let a private lawyer handle it. If the matter of the dual contracts were leaked, she would not only be ostracized by the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but also lose her job.

However, the disadvantages of not having a lawyer are also significant. How could she, a general manager of an entertainment company, possibly win an argument against Liao Xia, a professional lawyer? Isn't that absurd?

"State your decision, Mr. Wu!!"

Liao Xia was very dissatisfied. "You're the general manager of Warner, can't you have a bit of a temper? It would be best if you angered Ye Qian, so that I'd have room to maneuver, wouldn't I?"

"Okay, I'll pay!" It was obvious that Liao Xia was just a lawyer, not the general manager, and Wu Zhengyuan valued the position of general manager much more than money;
It's not hard to understand why this oversight would cause a major upheaval in the industry, because many companies do the same thing.
At the same time, influential celebrities will support Ye Qian, and then both she and her husband will be considered utterly worthless in the company and the entertainment industry, and they will be unable to survive.
With such obvious consequences, how could Wu Zhengyuan possibly choose according to Liao Xia's wishes? Therefore, the matter ended peacefully. However, Wu Zhengyuan also thoroughly hated Ye Qian, but he just didn't have any leverage over her!

After Li Qian left, Wu Zhengyuan paid HK$10,000 to have paparazzi focus on Ye Qian and expose any indecent behavior. Ye Qian got involved with a big shot, didn't she? Well, I'll make sure you get nothing, and He's Entertainment won't dare to take her!
"Ms. Ye Qian, Mr. Gao from He's Entertainment said that you should practice singing at the villa during this time. Someone will come to the villa this afternoon to test the recording studio equipment. The big boss has instructed that the signing will be done after the singer competition. We hope you can understand!"

At Ye Qian's villa, Liao Xia handed Ye Qian a check for three million Hong Kong dollars and then relayed the arrangements for He's Entertainment!

"Thank you so much! Let's have a meal together. I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

Ye Qian smiled politely. If Liao Xia hadn't been there today, based on her understanding of Wu Zhengyuan, he wouldn't have compromised so quickly!

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for your case, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to join He's Investment. Now that we're under the same group, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

"Oh? You're so keen to join a company under the He Group? As far as I know, He Investment was only established a few days ago, right?"

Ye Qian looked at the excited Liao Xia with curiosity. This woman was cold and decisive when she was working, but she was usually very sunny. She didn't know much about the legal profession, but she felt that these people were all natural actors!
"That's natural. You live in a luxurious villa, but you don't know what it's like for people like us to live in a house that's only a few dozen square meters in size.
The Ho Group offers the best employee benefits on Hong Kong Island. Not only do they pay high salaries to core employees, but they also provide housing, albeit only with usage rights. But how many companies on Hong Kong Island can offer that?

Housing is an eternal topic, and it is also the driving force behind Liao Xia's studies. She has had the ambition to change her family's living environment since she was a very young age, and now she is finally going to realize it!
"Indeed, such good benefits are rare, not only in Hong Kong Island, but also in Taiwan!"

Ye Qian gained a completely new understanding of He Yuzhu. Even though it was just the right to reside, it was still quite remarkable. He had a considerable number of core employees in the three companies—He's Investment, Longteng Security, and He's Entertainment—and the number was increasing rapidly. Yet, He Yuzhu still provided such excellent benefits...

"Alright, Miss Ye, I still need to go to He's Investment to sign a contract, so I'll be going now!"

Seeing Ye Qian deep in thought, Liao Xia immediately took her leave. This was because Liao Xia had doubts about Ye Qian's loyalty and had specifically spoken well of the company. After all, in Liao Xia's eyes, anything was possible until a contract was signed. What if Ye Qian changed her mind?
Liao Xia already considers herself an employee of He's. She hopes that He's will develop better and better and become stronger. Only in this way can it not go bankrupt and they can continue to live in the big house that they can't afford!

Many employees have very simple wishes: they just want a stable job and a stable living environment. If these two things are met, employee loyalty to the company will be at its highest, and they will never think of leaving! (End of Chapter)
