Top-tier celebrity's nightly pampering, the abstinent doctor loses control and spoils her.

early morning.

A long dining table was set with exquisite breakfast items: crystal shrimp dumplings, scallop congee, omelets...

But no one touched their chopsticks, and the servants tactfully retreated to the kitchen.

Lu Er was pale, with obvious dark circles under her eyes. She placed a stack of documents and several bank cards on the table.

"Mom, brother, sister-in-law, this is everything under my name that belongs to the Lu family. I've already signed the share transfer agreement."

"The card contains the dividends I've received from the family trust over the years, and I haven't touched a single penny."

Lu Chen suddenly stood up: "Xiao Er, what are you doing!"

Leng Qinghua slowly picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.

"Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it through." Lu Er unconsciously rubbed the ring on her ring finger.

"Little one!"

Lu Chen stood up. "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk things out."

Lu Er looked at her brother, her eyes reddening: "Brother, I know you're doing this for my own good."

She then turned to look at Leng Qinghua, "You're right, without the Lu family I am nothing. But Song Jingmo can't live without me, and I can't live without him."

After saying that, he walked out the door without looking back.

"Little one!"

Lu Chen chased after him.

"Let him go."

Leng Qinghua's voice came from behind, icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

Lu Chen turned around and looked at his mother in disbelief: "Mom!"

I said, "Let him go."

Leng Qinghua put down the spoon, the porcelain spoon hitting the rim of the bowl with a crisp sound.

"Now that he's grown up and wants to fly, let him fly. I want to see how far and how high he can fly."

Luo Bingbing opened her mouth, but seeing her mother-in-law's expressionless face, she swallowed her words.

As the sports car drove out of the villa, Lu Er's hands, gripping the steering wheel, were still trembling slightly.

Just as I was about to call Song Jingmo, my phone rang.

Lu Er was quite surprised: "Brother Jiang, so early?"

"Lu Er," Jiang Qingyan's voice was urgent, "Where are you now?"

"What's wrong?"

Something's happened.

Jiang Qingyan spoke quickly, "Several brands simultaneously sent lawyer's letters, demanding the termination of their endorsement contracts."

Lu Er slammed on the brakes, and the car stopped on the side of the road: "What?"

"All five of their high-end brand ambassadorships have requested to terminate their contracts."

Jiang Qingyan was frantic. "I'm saying you've seriously violated the contract, your personal image is at great risk, and it's affecting the brand image."

"Now the brand is demanding compensation and wants to recover the endorsement fees already paid."

Lu Er's mind went blank.

These five endorsements represent his most valuable resources, totaling nearly 10 billion yuan in endorsement fees.

The contract was signed for eight years, and if it is terminated, the penalty for breach of contract would be astronomical.

Why did it suddenly...?

Lu Er suddenly understood halfway through her sentence.

"It's your mother."

Jiang Qingyan's voice turned serious. "I inquired and found out that President Leng personally contacted them and said that you have a problem with your sexual orientation."

"Most importantly, abandoning one's family for a man carries uncontrollable risks and makes one unsuitable to be a luxury brand ambassador."

Lu Er held her phone, her fingertips turning white.

He should have thought of that sooner.

"Come to the company right now. The legal department is already in a meeting. The higher-ups are furious. If this isn't handled properly, it could cause a huge mess."

"it is good."

Lu Er hung up the phone, restarted the car, and drove back towards the company.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Er could clearly sense that something was wrong as soon as she entered the company.

In the corridor, several department heads hurried along, their faces grave.

Pushing open the meeting room door, I found it already full of people.

"sit."

Mr. Li pointed to the empty seats.

The legal director pushed up his glasses and got straight to the point: "The situation is very serious; several brands are launching attacks at the same time."

"According to the contract terms, if the brand image is damaged due to the artist's personal reasons, the brand has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract and demand compensation of three times the contract amount, as well as recover the fees already paid."

He opened the folder and said, "Preliminary estimates suggest that the total breach of contract fees for the five endorsements, plus recovery costs, will be around 200 billion."

200 million.

The conference room was deathly silent.

Lu Er stared at the string of numbers, her mind blank.

He knew there would be a lot, but he didn't expect this much.

200 billion, even if you sold him, he wouldn't be worth that much.

"That's not even the worst part. Right now, three out of the top five trending topics on Weibo are related to this."

"'Lu Er's endorsement contract termination,' 'Lu Er's sexual orientation,' 'Leng Qinghua of the Lu Group.' Public opinion is very unfavorable to us. Many netizens are cursing you... and the cursing is very harsh."

Finally, President Li spoke up: "Lu Er, the company has nurtured you for so many years and given you the best resources, not so that you could ruin the company."

Lu Er: "President Li, about this matter..."

Mr. Li produced a document: "This is the termination agreement. Due to your serious breach of contract, which caused the company huge losses, we are now terminating all your brokerage contracts."

"You need to compensate the company for all losses suffered as a result, including claims from the brand owner and all costs incurred by the company in training, promotion, etc."

Jiang Qingyan suddenly stood up: "President Li, this is too much. Lu Er is the company's top artist, and she has made a lot of money for the company over the years."

"To kick him out and make him pay compensation as soon as something goes wrong is just too inhumane."

"Jiang Qingyan," President Li shouted sternly, "Sit down. This is none of your business!"

Lu Er picked up the pen and quickly signed her name: "That's fine, so I won't be a burden to you."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "The compensation will be paid to me by the finance department after they have calculated it."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the conference room.

Jiang Qingyan chased after him, shouting, "Are you crazy? How are you going to pay back that much money?"

"Pay it back slowly."

Lu Er wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "Thank you for all these years. You still have several artists under you. Don't let me drag them down."

"you······"

Jiang Qingyan's eyes reddened. "I know a few owners of independent studios. I can help you make connections."

"Your acting skills and fame are still there, and you can make a comeback even if you go solo."

Lu Er nodded: "Thank you."

Just as he finished packing his things, Bai Zhi followed him in: "Brother Lu, are you really leaving?"

"Yeah, you should stick with another artist. I'm not a top star anymore, and I'm drowning in debt. There's no future for me."

Bai Zhi's tears fell: "I've already earned enough money for retirement by following you these past few years. I'm willing to follow you even without a salary."

Lu Er felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to hug Bai Zhi: "Silly."

"I'm serious."

Bai Zhi wiped away her tears, "Wherever you go, I'll go!"

"I can be your assistant and your agent, helping you with business negotiations, coordination, and anything else."

Lu Er smiled: "Okay, then do something for me first."

"What is it?"

"Check all my assets now, including my savings, stocks and funds, and those houses."

Lu Er took a deep breath, "Sell everything, however much we can."

Bai Zhi was stunned: "You want to..."

"Pay back the debt."

Lu Er's voice was calm, "From today onwards, I am a penniless man burdened with debt."

Now, he really has nothing left.

Family, career, wealth...

Everything is gone.

All that remains is an astronomical debt.
