Chapter 8: CNM

Ikeno looked at his phone, which was off, and felt that things were more complicated than he had imagined.

The attitude of acceptance is more than usual tough.

And the tougher they are, the worse things are.

"Coco, coco."

Ikeno recalled Coco's eyes and knew that the original owner's personal assistant must know something.

"Chi, Brother Chi."

Keke walked in with small steps and looked at him with concern: "Are you okay?"

"When do I usually get paid for the announcements I've been running these days?"

Ikeno sat on the chair, staring at Coco's cheek.

"Settlement..." Keke was stunned, lowered her head and stammered, "I don't know about this kind of private matter. Brother Chi, you should...should know."

Ikeno was silent.

Keke raised her head and saw Chi Ye's appearance. Suddenly she thought of something and her face turned pale: "Brother Chi...you won't...are you okay?"

Chi Ye rubbed his temples and said nothing.

"There's no announcement fee at all, Brother Chi."

Chi Ye suddenly opened his eyes: "No?!"

Keke lowered her head again and stammered, "I...I discovered these things by accident...I'm sorry, Brother Chi, I didn't mean it."

"Go on, I want to hear how much you know."

Coco's face turned pale and she didn't dare to speak.

"Tell me about my situation... You should know most of it."

Ikeno laughed at himself and said, "There are only two of us here. I won't blame you."

"really?"

Coco raised her head bravely, and her eyes were a little red.

Ikeno was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course."

"..." Keke was silent for a while, then said, "It's not that I don't have any notice fees... Once, when I was delivering food to Brother Chi, I saw you crying alone... I'm sorry, Brother Chi, I didn't mean it. Later I found out that Brother Chi's notice fees were all used to pay back the company, so they won't be transferred to me. You've been paying off your debts."

Chi Ye was silent again, and after a long while he asked, "Do you know how much money I owe?"

"It's not something you owe..." Coco reacted and corrected: "At least I don't think you owe it... but it is true... you were cheated."

Ikeno talked to Coco calmly, but the more he listened, the worse he felt.

In the end, he couldn't help but start cursing Yue Na's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The original owner debuted as a trainee, and before his debut he was actually signed to a small company that mainly trained idols.

This company is notoriously unreliable in the industry. It has no conditions or ability to debut, and its main profit-making method is to earn and defraud children of their liquidated damages.

The original owner was young and ignorant, and only realized something was wrong after being tricked into coming in, but it was too late to leave by then.

Until three years ago, the company encountered some financial difficulties, so it sold the contracts of its artists to Yuena.

Yuena Group.

This is one of the top brokerage companies in the domestic entertainment industry. The company's boss was a top-tier superstar in the 80s. Now it is backed by two giant capitals and is the most coveted company for all newcomers in the circle.

The original owner was naturally very happy to be sold here, and he trained even harder, hoping to stand out in the fiercely competitive Yue Na.

As it turned out, moving from a small company to Yuena was like escaping from a wolf's den and falling into a tiger's den.

Even compared to small companies, Yue Na relies on its strong background connections and a legal department that is more proficient in the law, and its treatment of these "black slaves" is more seamless and desperate.

They used the original slave contracts to gain deeper control over and suck the blood of the original owners and a group of unlucky people.

The specific operation is: when conducting any business activities, the company will set "targets" for them. These targets are ridiculously high and basically impossible to achieve. If they cannot be achieved, they will need to pay the "brand owner" a sky-high compensation.

But the brands are all controlled by two major groups behind them.

It is similar to a bet contract, but more like a smaller version, and it occurs in every business transaction.

Therefore, not to mention that the original owner had no business ability, even if his business ability was outstanding, he would not be able to achieve such an indicator.

Naturally, the original owner owed more and more money, and then he could only work hard to run announcements, take advantage of the popularity, and make money to pay off his debts.

But this kind of debt cannot be repaid because its basic logic is "the more you do, the more you owe."

In this way, you may spend nearly five million in announcement fees in three days, but end up not getting a penny.

——It’s not that we don’t have money, it’s that the company “automatically deducts money” to pay off debts.

Of course, Yue Na is not a fool. While they let the original owner of the black slave work, they also did not forget to give him regular transfusions, take advantage of the popularity, and market the character of the original owner, Prince Yue Na.

Moreover, because the original owner himself had "no income", Yue Na also thoughtfully provided full food and accommodation, so that the original owner did not have to worry about food and accommodation and could focus on working.

By the way, I heard that there are bonuses every month. As long as you work well, you can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. You are a white-collar worker!

This is really...CNM.

Chi Ye gritted his teeth and sweat exploded all over his body.

He was quite knowledgeable in his previous life, but he was still shocked every time he heard about similar incidents.

What's more, the owner of this incident is "himself".

Yes, this kind of model is very inhumane. There are actually not many artists who can become popular enough for companies to suck their blood, and most of them have miserable endings.

From this point of view, the original owner took a "shortcut" by relying on this good-looking face?
After all, Chi Ye is now considered one of the few popular black slaves.

Di Lingling.

The phone rings.

Coco had already walked out wiping her eyes. Chi Ye picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from her agent.

He thought about it and answered the phone.

"Hey? Are you calm now?"

"CNM."

Sister Ge: “???”

Beijing, Yuena Group.

When Ge Shuang heard the "warm greetings" coming from the other end of the phone, she was stunned for two seconds.

After a moment, she finally reacted, her face frighteningly gloomy: "Chi Ye, my patience with you is limited. You'd better know who you are talking to!"

"CNM."

Ge Shuang: "You curse again?!"

Ikeno still said those three words: "CNM!"

Bang!
Ge Shuang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She kicked the trash can, scaring the clerks around her.

She glanced back, hurried into her office, and lowered her voice: "Chi Ye, I don't know what's wrong with you, but if you want to die, you have to pay back the money first!"

"I don't owe that money."

"You don't owe it?" Ge Shuang sneered, "If you signed the contract, you have to accept it. Who forced you to sign the contract in the first place?"

Ikeno: "Those were all signed by you guys who tricked people into signing. Moreover, the so-called standards and compensation do not exist at all. They are just to please your own business and have no legal effect."

"Law?" Ge Shuang smiled even more happily: "I tell you, the law can't save you, but it can kill you!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better keep running the announcements. Otherwise, if you can't pay back that much money, don't blame me for sending you to jail."

Chi Ye paused and said: "Then you can send it. I can't run away after the notice."

In his previous life, because of his personality, he resolutely chose to resign and work on his own even though he worked at one of the top marketing companies in the country.

What is he afraid of now?
What's more, he felt that as long as Ge Shuang was not an idiot, they would not really fall out.

As expected, Ge Shuang, who had been aggressive on the other end of the phone, fell silent.

After a long time, she seemed to have adjusted her emotions and spoke slowly, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to terminate the contract."

"impossible!"

The two were silent again.

"How about this, I'll give you an extra 10,000 yuan a month."

Ikeno still didn't say anything.

Ge Shuang paused, and her tone softened: "Chi Ye, ask yourself, have I been good to you over the years?"

"In the group, when they all bullied you, who helped you out? Without me, do you think your teammates would be so 'gentle'? Putting aside the long-term, let's just talk about that one million. Without me, could you have afforded it?"

"This is all paid for you by me and the company!"

"Speaking of life, how good is your life now? You get a stable income every year. You don't have to buy a house or a car. You just need to work and you'll get rewards. Do you know how many people envy you?"

"Go back and work hard on your promotions. I promise I'll help you get some good resources. Didn't we agree last time? In two years, when the time is right, the company will let you go. By then, you'll definitely be even more famous... This is the best choice for you."

Snapped.

Chi Ye hung up the phone directly.

It's not because of anything else, it's just disgusting.

Two years later? He, a man with many years of experience as a cattle and horse, would not fall for the original owner's naive belief.

Is PUA getting any better?
Go to hell, old witch!
……

"White-eyed wolf!"

Ge Shuang was "disobeyed" by Chi Ye several times today. She was extremely upset and wanted to crush the phone in her hand.

After thinking for a moment, she turned on her phone again and made a call: "Hello... Finance Department? Please suspend the funding for the Ikeno team."

"Yes... well, we don't need that much right now. I'll call you if you need anything."

"Okay, that's it. I'll treat you to dinner later."

……

Ikeno didn't realize it yet, but his agent had already started to criticize him behind his back.

After he hung up the phone, although he wanted to smash Ge Shuang's head, the most urgent thing was to think of how to get out of the current predicament.

First of all, it is definitely impossible to pay back the money honestly.

What Yue Na did was too outrageous. He couldn't pay back that money now or in the future. There was no need to pay it back.

Then there is only one way left.

——Through legitimate means, such as filing lawsuits and generating public opinion.

At this point, he thought he could give it a try.

The original owner's personality was really easy to grasp, like a docile little lamb with an aggressive face, but he turned out to be a naive and innocent person.

Yue Na’s legal system has certainly been improved, but there are bound to be loopholes.

At least, if it really gets out, he feels that the public opinion alone will be a bonus.

But the original owner didn't dare to do so, because if he was not careful, his current "stable" life would turn into imprisonment.

But he is not afraid of these.

"This kind of lawsuit will definitely cost a lot of money, so where will the money come from..."

Two days later.

Ikeno has returned to his "home" outside the third ring road of Beijing - a very old residential area, which is a house rented for him by the company.

In the past two days, he searched through the original owner's bank cards, Alipay and other software, and the result was as expected, he was really penniless.

The total deposits of a second-tier traffic person are less than 100,000.

Even this was saved by "living frugally", because although the company would regularly provide funds to Ikeno's team, the county magistrate was not as good as the current one.

Many times it is too late, and the original owner has to use his or her meager savings to pay for it first. As for whether it will be reimbursed later, it can only be said that it happens sometimes and not sometimes.

As reported.

Anyway, Ikeno tightened his belt and even brought home the hotel's disposable slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste.

Really worse than cattle and horses.

With this kind of wealth, a lawsuit is definitely not enough.

Fortunately, after these two days, Ikeno has found a new way.

——Someone owed the original owner money, and it was a lot.

Chi Ye didn't understand what Ge Shuang said before, "I'm paying you back the 100 million", but later he asked Coco and got a general idea.

It turns out that the original owner had thought about resisting.

Two years ago, the original owner had privately borrowed money through his public figure status, and eventually borrowed more than one million. Through the chat records, Chi Ye guessed that he should have the same idea as himself now, wanting to sue to escape from the cage.

As a result, this matter was discovered by his former teammate Shen Qingyu.

At that time, Rise had already been established, the original owner was somewhat famous, and Shen Qingyu was one of the original owner's few friends.

At that time, something must have happened in Shen Qingyu's family and he was in urgent need of money, so he wanted to borrow money from the original owner.

The original owner, a naive person, heard that Shen Qingyu had already taken out all his loans and had no more loans to lend. Moreover, although the other party was not as popular as himself, he was not a slave and could make money quickly. He could pay back more than one million yuan soon, so he lent the money to Shen Qingyu.

Unexpectedly, after borrowing the money, Shen Qingyu never thought about returning it to him.

Judging from Chi Ye's current perspective, it was obvious that Shen Qingyu knew the news and told Yue Na privately. The two of them teamed up to trick the original owner and prevent him from making a big deal out of it.

"How shameless!"

Looking at the impactful face in the mirror, Chi Ye wanted to curse, but when he thought of the original owner's miserable life, he sighed.

After all, he is an honest child from an ordinary family. His divorced parents have cultivated his people-pleasing personality.

He lived his entire short life in an environment where his blood was sucked out and he struggled in pain.

"I'll help you get everything back."

Chi Ye muttered to himself, then took out his cell phone and looked through Shen Qingyu's chat history.

The other party had deleted him long ago, but the original owner hadn't touched it.

I flipped to the very back and clicked on it, and inside was the conversation between the two people two years ago.

Ikeno: I really need that money, can you give it back to me? (laughing and crying)
Shen Qingyu: I’ve told you many times, I’m short of money right now, I’ll pay you back in a few days.

Half a year passed.

Ikeno: Are you there? (Looks out)
Ikeno: Are you there, Qingbao? (scratching his head)
Ikeno: Can you pay me back now, honey? The loan company is asking me to pay you back (crying)
Shen Qingyu: It's just a small amount of money, why are you pushing me so hard? What's my current status? I can pay you back by running an announcement, why are you so anxious?

Ikeno: I'm sorry Qingbao, they blocked my door and said they would chop off my hands if I didn't pay back the money. I was so scared.

Shen Qingyu: I’m filming these days. I’ll give it to you in a few days when the salary arrives.

Ikeno: How many days will it be?

Shen Qingyu: Three days later, I’ll give it to you in three days.

Ikeno: Okay, thank you! (Kitten kowtows)
three days later.

Ikeno: Baby, are you there? (Kitten peeking out)

Ikeno: I made an appointment with him last time, and he is right next to me now.

Ikeno: Bao, I beg you, can you give me back my money?

System: The other party is no longer your friend. Please add the other party as a friend to chat.
