The name of Xingting Law Firm was known throughout the entire Great Xia Empire.
The founder of Xingting Law Firm was a highly esteemed legal scholar, who, after departing from official institutions, established his own law firm.
The firm’s foremost rule was to assist the common folk as much as possible, safeguarding their fundamental rights.
Ling Feng’s fame was only second to this esteemed legal scholar.
Yet, Ling Feng, still young and full of potential, was destined to surpass the founder’s achievements.
The CEO suddenly stood up, his eyes widening as he stared at the one million dollar cheque, “Miss Si… Si Fuqing?!”
Could Si Fuqing have really enlisted the services ofXingting Law Firm?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe assistant, having never paid attention to Si Fuqing, was unaware that Xingting Law Firm had been orchestrating everything from the start in the Zuo Qingya case.
“A court trial?” scoffed the CEO. “Do you think you can just decide to go to court? Who does Si Fuqing think she is? Sure, there’s a termination fee, but without my agreement, the contract can’t be terminated!”
“Although your influence in the entertainment industry is considerable,” said Ling Feng, calm and unafraid, still smiling, “I doubt it compares to the Chen family’s support, right?”
At the mention of the Chen family, the CEO’s expression changed drastically, “The Chen family?!”
He was well aware of the families in Lin City, where the headquarters of Wanchuan Entertainment were located.
The Chen family had been the second most powerful family there.
But that was a thing of the past.
Just recently, the Chen family’s enterprises had collapsed entirely, leaving nothing in their name.
Was Xingting Law Firm behind this?
No matter howpowerful a law firm was, it was unlikely to topple a whole family, right?
The CEO almost instantly realized that there must be someone else behind this.
Wanchuan Entertainment could only throw its weight around in the entertainment industry; it was no match for the Chen family.
“Ter… terminate it now!” he said, sweat beading on his forehead as he nearly shouted. “Where’s Xu Xiyun’s contract? Bring it here, quick!”
The assistant hurriedly fetched it, and Ling Feng reviewed every clause to ensure there were no errors. Once satisfied, she smiled again, “Now that the contract is terminated, Mr. Xu Xiyun is no longer under your company’s umbrella. You have no right to demand his withdrawal from the competition.”
“Of course!” The CEO forced a smile. “With his talent, he should stay in the training camp. We’ll cooperate and issue a statement.”
Only then did Ling Feng tear up the contract and carefully store the termination agreement. “Well then, I won’t disturb you any further.”
she swiftly left the office, which fell into silence.
“Boss, Tianle Media has gone back on their word!” hissed the assistant, clenching his teeth. “They were just talking about managing Si Fuqing, and the next second Xingting shows up. They’re slapping you in the face!”
“I’m well aware,” the CEO sneered. “Tianle Media is purposely screwing with us.
I bet they even hired Xingting themselves. There’s nothing to discuss with them!”
Wanchuan Entertainment had indeed suffered a major setback, skillfully outplayed by Tianle Media. The CEO made a mental note of this.
“Right, right,” the assistant wiped his sweat. “And about the web drama? Are we still giving it to Tianle Media?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Give it to them, but we’ll play our tricks,” the CEO’s eyes darkened. “Even if this drama loses money, I won’t let Tianle Media off easy!”
The assistant dared not breathe too heavily.
The CEO took a deep breath: “Go, tell the PR department to announce that we’ve terminated the contract with Xu Xiyun.” The assistant quickly went to carry out the order.
He knew well enough.
Xu Xiyun might not have to withdraw from the competition, but Lou Lianghua would likely face withdrawal.
This was a classic case of losing on all fronts.
If the truth had simply come out, Wanchuan Entertainment could have suppressed it with various means. But with Xingting Law Firm stepping in, the nature of the matter had changed entirely.
They had truly been outplayed.
Outside the Wanchuan Entertainment building.
“Miss Si, the matter has been handled,” Ling Feng was on the phone, hesitating for a moment. “But don’t you want to take this opportunity to terminate your contract? We could win the lawsuit.’
Si Fuqing chuckled softly and asked, “Hmm, how much money could you get from Tianle Media?”
Ling Feng’s expression turned serious, “Considering Tianle Media’s exploitation over the years and their suppression of your resources, I could legally compel them to compensate you two to three times the amount of the termination fee..”
