This director is vindictive.

Chapter 10: Even if I can’t kill them with one blow, I will make them suffer (major revision)
Zhao Ming naturally didn't say much about Chen Mo's unwillingness to let the two culprits go.

In fact, he also had no good feelings towards those two.

I hope they really spend their lives in jail.

It is also conceivable that once Chen Mo and the other people reach a settlement, Du Chun will continue to be sued. At that time, Du "brother" will also be put on the fire.

Even if he hadn't lost the case, the bad reputation he deserved would definitely not be erased by pretending to be dumb as before.

It’s just a pity that Zhao Ming had no idea that Chen Mo had agreed to negotiate a settlement with the other party, but in negotiations, no one can guarantee that the deal will be successful, right?
However, he agreed to negotiate an out-of-court settlement. Not only would he benefit, but Star Entertainment would also benefit. So he looked at Zhao Ming and said, "I still have six months left on my contract with the company. Let's terminate it early."

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment before asking, "Actually, the company has lifted the disciplinary action against you, and you can resume your work. I know you're unhappy with the company's attitude, but that's just how things are in this industry. Actually, the impact of that incident on you has basically disappeared. Would you like to reconsider it? Perhaps you can secure some resources. I believe it shouldn't be a problem."

"No need, let's just leave it at that, is that okay?" Chen Mo said calmly.

Zhao Ming opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing and just nodded.

This is also one of Chen Mo's purposes. It would be good to take this opportunity to terminate the contract. Although it does not have much impact on him, he is still not free.

The other party can hide him, but they can also exploit him, so it is better to take this opportunity to deal with him directly.

After discussing this matter, Chen Mo said to Zhao Ming again: "Brother Zhao, what do you think about what I said last time?"

"Ah? Are you really planning to start your own business? But..." Zhao Ming was a little surprised.

"You misunderstood. There's nothing wrong with starting your own business, but I didn't say you'd continue to be an artist!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"So what do you want?" Zhao Ming was a little confused after hearing this.

"Start a company and become a director to make movies. The first project will be launched soon and the funds are ready. It is absolutely reliable. How about it? Do you want to help me?" Chen Mo said.

"You? A director? When did you learn to direct?" Zhao Ming was completely dumbfounded. What a joke! He had been Chen Mo's agent since his debut, and he never knew that Chen Mo had this ability. It seemed absurd for a moment.

Although there are successful cases in the circle of actors who have become directors, he could not find any trace of Chen Mo having such ability, so he was very angry.

"Chen Mo, listen to my advice. Directing a play is not that easy. The waters are too complicated. I'm really afraid that you can't handle it!" His first reaction was to persuade him.

In the end, Chen Mo still failed to poach the talent. There was no other way. Zhao Ming really thought it was too ridiculous.

Moreover, Chen Mo's situation has taken a turn for the better this time, and he will no longer be suppressed in Star Entertainment, so naturally he will not jump ship just based on Chen Mo's few words.

Chen Mo did not force it. He wanted to poach Zhao Ming not because of Zhao Ming's ability, but because they got along pretty well with each other over the past three years. Moreover, Chen Mo needed manpower to film a movie, and if Zhao Ming was willing to come, he could help a lot.

However, I really don't have any persuasive power at the moment, so I'll just give up for now.

On the other hand, Ouyang Jing was happy to go to the negotiation after receiving Chen Mo's commission. After all, she had long known that those people were just incidental. Being able to help Chen Mo gain more benefits would also be beneficial to their law firm.

However, even Ouyang Jing felt that the negotiation conditions and the amount of settlement compensation that Chen Mo had specified were a bit outrageous.

But it is also her job. Besides, everything is based on Chen Mo's ideas. Chen Mo is obviously not ready to reconcile, so he put forward outrageous conditions. Of course, if they can really reach an agreement, even if it is just one or two, that would be great.

Moreover, the negotiations were handled by their law firm, and Chen Mo had to pay anyway.

Soon, they were eager to start out-of-court settlement negotiations as soon as possible.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Du Chun certainly wanted to talk, but unfortunately, Chen Mo didn't give them any chance.

Well, actually, as for Du Chun, Chen Mo was just thinking about where to get some favors from him. As I said, the reconciliation negotiations can be carried out, but whether they can be concluded or not is not his fault. But even if he did not intend to let Du Chun go, Chen Mo knew that it would be difficult to kill him with one blow like Fang Xiaoxiao and others did.

So, with no one offering favors, Chen Mo decided to leave it alone. After all, the others were just accomplices at best, but Du Chun was his good brother! How could he be compared to those people? Of course, the main reason was that he understood that at this stage, a single blow wouldn't cut it, so he naturally had to make use of the waste and get a little more out of it!
You know, Du Chun may have lost only money and favors, but Chen Mo lost his "good brother"!

I have to say that compared to Fang Xiaoxiao, Du Chun's network of contacts, or rather, his father's network of contacts, is really extensive.

As expected, Chen Mo soon received a call from his former homeroom teacher Li Bin at the Beijing Film Academy. Chen Mo had a lot of respect for this teacher. When the incident first happened, although he did not publicly express his support, he did call Chen Mo to show his concern.

"Chen Mo, are you busy?" Li Bin's voice came on the phone.

"Teacher Li, please stop teasing me. What else can I be busy with now?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Haha, kid, you didn't blame the teacher for not speaking up for you at that time, right?" Li Bin laughed and said after hearing this.

"How could that be? When I was being criticized by thousands of people, the teacher was still willing to believe in me and called me to show his concern. I can't express my gratitude enough." Chen Mo said sincerely.

He was telling the truth. It was a favor for others to help you, and it was their duty if they didn't help you. Moreover, he didn't have any evidence to prove his innocence at the time. Why did he ask others to believe him?
At that time, it was very rare that Li Bin was willing to believe him, call him to comfort him and enlighten him.

"That's good, you did a great job this time, hahaha!" Li Bin suddenly laughed heartily.

"It's also a helpless move. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, teacher." Chen Mo said modestly.

"Actually, the teacher didn't want to make this call at this time, but to be honest, I'm here as a bad guest this time." Li Bin was silent for a moment and suddenly said with some melancholy.

"Did someone find the teacher?" Chen Mo knew as soon as he heard it that someone must have found Li Bin to plead for mercy.

As for who it was, Chen Mo could guess it.

Fang Xiaoxiao probably doesn't have such a wide network of contacts. Everyone else has already entered the settlement negotiation stage, so the only one left is Du Chun.

This guy's father is a veteran actor and director, so his connections in the circle are naturally not to be underestimated.

As expected, Li Bin quickly said, "Yes, Lao Du and I are old friends. He came to me for help, so I couldn't help but make the call. Of course, if you don't think it's appropriate, forget it."

Although Chen Mo already had a plan in mind, he still pretended to be a little hesitant. Since he wanted to do a favor, he had to do it well.

After all, if you ask who he hated the most in this incident, Fang Xiaoxiao was certainly hated by him, but not the most. After all, they didn't have a very deep friendship.

On the contrary, it was Du Chun, who had been a close friend of the original owner before, but he was the first to stab the original owner at the critical moment.

It can even be said that the fact that this incident became so serious is largely due to the fact that Du Chun, who is considered to be a brother of Chen Mo, did not stand on his side.

For the original owner, it was a blatant betrayal!

But since Teacher Li Bin has spoken, and Chen Mo is going to shoot a movie next and will also ask Li Bin for help, so this favor is really given at the right time. Chen Mo even wants to thank Du Chun.

Chen Mo hesitated to speak, but Li Bin thought he was putting Chen Mo in a difficult position. He couldn't help but sigh and said seriously, "Actually, the teacher understands the anger in your heart, so no matter what decision you make, the teacher will support you. Don't think that I am not giving the teacher face. By making this call, the teacher has already returned the favor."

"Then let's talk. I will communicate with the lawyer. We can't make things difficult for the teacher." Chen Mo agreed reluctantly.

Li Bin was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not forced, right?"

"I won't force it. Actually, this matter is just a matter of time. From a legal perspective, my chances of winning his case are not that high. However, we can talk about it. But teacher, please don't blame me for asking for too much, okay?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You! Who are you as a teacher? Don't worry, you have already given the teacher face by agreeing. As for how to talk about it, that is your business. I don't care. I'm not his father." Li Bin said with a smile.

"By the way, teacher, I will go back to school to see you in two days. I have something I want to ask you for help with." Chen Mo said.

Chen Mo was also laying the groundwork for his next actions.

He had already thought about it and wanted to settle out of court? Of course, I could give him this opportunity for Teacher Li Bin's sake, but the conditions for an out-of-court settlement were another matter, right?

It's not that I, as a student, don't give my teacher face. Look, I already agreed to an out-of-court settlement, but he didn't agree! You can't blame me for that, right?
