    Capital only has interests in their eyes, but Kong Diancheng is unwilling to be a victim at the mercy of others.

    For an artist of his level, it is his business to discuss, but he is not qualified to participate in this meeting.

    "No matter how hyped it is, I, the client, will always speak up, right? If you don't listen to my suggestion now, aren't you afraid that I won't cooperate when the time comes?"

    Kong Diancheng's voice was transmitted through the externally placed mobile phone. His tone was raised, with a half-smile, but his words were sarcasm and threat.

    Li Qian's right hand was slightly stiff, and she felt an urge to take back the mobile phone placed on the table.

    She shouldn't have listened to Kong Diancheng's words, and returned after the director and others had expressed their attitude, and asked Kong Diancheng to talk to them.

    Isn't this the break ground where Taisui presides?

    Sure enough, Director Wang slammed the table and roared angrily: "Are you so hard-winged? Not only did you disobey the company's arrangement, but you dared to fight? Then you can try it. I don't believe you, a small artist."What kind of storm can be turned over."

    Kong Diancheng's voice was still calm: "Then we will wait and see."

    Director Wang's chest heaved, he looked at Li Qian, and said in a mocking tone, "This is the artist you brought out, what a guts."

    Facing her angry boss, Li Qian could not refute even though she was wronged.

    But Kong Diancheng had no scruples at all, and said with a sneer: "I have only been with my new manager for three or four days, so don't take my personality as someone else's credit."

    Director Wang, who has always been praised by others, hung up the phone in anger. He actually had a lot to say, but he was afraid of being recorded because Kong Diancheng was already a little bit broken.

    "What about others? Call and have a good chat."

    Li Qian took back her mobile phone and said, "Then I'll pick him up now."

    "Pick up?" Director Wang asked back, but also realized that Kong Diancheng was not in the company now, so he snorted again, but he didn't stop her from picking him up.

    Li Qian returned the call to Kong Diancheng before going downstairs to drive.

    Seeing Kong Diancheng who was so unwilling to compromise, she actually regretted reporting this matter.

    Rather than watching Kong Diancheng break up with the company, it's better to pretend not to know these things and let nature take its course.Even if the news is revealed at that time, the result will not be worse.

    Kong Diancheng's personality is too simple, and he has never been exposed to dirty things in the entertainment industry, so he may think everything is too simple.The company's treatment of little idols who can make money, are disobedient and have no connections is not as simple as Xuezang.

    After seeing Kong Diancheng, Li Qian persuaded: "Why don't you let it go? Now everyone doesn't know who your mother is, and the company's marketing will try to avoid disclosing her privacy. Otherwise, waiting for that person to be released from prison will be a shame."Trouble. And after these exposures, maybe you can take this opportunity to find your mother."

    Kong Diancheng: "No need."

    He didn't need to pre-emptively solve Kong De's trouble, nor did he need to recognize the Lin family to support them, and he didn't need to buy miserly traffic.

    "Once it regresses, it will only be less free in the future."

    The peacock belongs to the mountains and the sky, so he doesn't want to live in a cage.

    This time, either the company will loosen the restrictions on him and stop doing things without any regard for his wishes, or it will treat him as a piece of mud that cannot be supported and give up completely.

    At worst, it's just a termination.

    He doesn't have that much money now, and he doesn't want to give the company so much money for nothing, but he can guarantee that if the contract is terminated, the company's losses will definitely be greater.

    When he arrived at the company, Kong Diancheng followed Li Qian to an office. Before entering, he glanced at the door plate, which said Director of Brokerage.

    An artist of his level can't alarm the boss of the company yet.

    As soon as Kong Diancheng entered, Director Wang raised his head and looked at him seriously with scrutiny.After a while, the disdain in Director Wang's eyes dissipated a little.

    I have to admit that with this appearance alone, do have the confidence to challenge the company.

    It's just that a face alone is not enough, and the company will not encourage this trend.

    "I heard from your agent that you don't agree with the public relations method we proposed. What's your opinion?" Director Wang raised his airs, feeling quite oppressive.

    Kong Diancheng didn't seem to notice it, and went straight to the sofa and sat down.

    He is so tall, it is better not to let people look up at him.

    Director Wang: "..."

    "You sit too." Director Wang couldn't yell "who let you sit" like he did to elementary school students, so he had to let Li Qian sit too.

    However, in this way, the atmosphere he deliberately created was broken.

    Kong Diancheng: "It's not a high opinion, but this matter is related to me, so it can't be that I don't have a say."

    He raised his head, looked at Director Wang without avoiding his eyes, and said firmly: "I don't agree to hype my birth, and I will not cooperate with the company's arrangement to buy it badly."

    "Heh." Director Wang sneered, "Why do you disagree? The company hasn't pursued you for concealing your background, how dare you go further? If you had known that your father was a criminal, the company would not have signed you."

    Kong Diancheng smiled and said: "Then terminate the contract, I believe there are still many companies willing to sign me."

    In fact, even if he terminated the contract, he would not re-sign the company. It was just jumping from one fire pit to another. Even because the new company paid the termination fee for him, there was even more reason to oppress him.

    However, when negotiating, you must always appear that you have a retreat and confidence.

    Director Wang: "Your contract still has more than six years, right? Do you know how much liquidated damages are there?"

    "I know." Kong Diancheng nodded casually.

    "I've roughly calculated it, and I know that sky-high liquidated damages are not protected by law. If there is a lawsuit, it may be 10 to 20 million?"

    It's all because he is too popular now, otherwise the number would be even less.

    "Also, the stage accident back then, the live reality show without safety guarantees, and the fact that my former manager took me to accompany me to a drink and allowed me to be sexually harassed, does this mean that the company has not fulfilled its due obligations?"

    He propped his chin, thinking.

    "I don't really understand, but if the contract is terminated, my next family should make good use of these materials."

    Director Wang laughed back angrily, and applauded: "Okay, very good, it seems that you have seriously considered this matter. Then you know how difficult it is to go to court? It will delay you for a year or two, and you won't be able to answer any notices.Who will remember you then? If you offend the company, will we let you leave cleanly?"

    Kong Diancheng: "I'm not yet nineteen years old, so I can afford to wait. The first three years were unknown, oh no, full of infamy, I survived, do you think I will be afraid?"

    "As long as I have this face, isn't it easy to turn around? Your company can't disfigure me, right?"

    Director Wang suppressed his anger, stared at his impeccable face, and slowly said: "You have relied on the company's training today, but now that you are popular, you will turn your face and deny anyone?"

    "Ha!" Kong Diancheng laughed ironically.

    "It all depends on the company? Then why didn't I have any splashes in the first three years? Then why are so many artists participating in the company's party, and I am the only one who is popular?"

    "I contradicted the makeup artist to put on the makeup I was satisfied with. I didn't dance with the men's troupe. I didn't follow the program group's arrangement completely as my former manager said. Even if I got full marks in sports, I didn't go on a diet according to the company's requirements...."

    "If I had followed the company's orders, I would still be an idiot now."

    "Also, it's not that I don't know about the hot searches that I was removed from, and the resources that were suppressed by my former manager and given to others."

    He didn't dodge or evade, and met Director Wang's gaze, eloquently.

    Because the speed of speech is slightly faster, it looks very imposing.

    Director Wang thought that what he said was reasonable, but the idea that came to his mind was: his lines are very good, if he doesn't need dubbing for acting, he can boast about it, plus this face...

    When he realized what he was thinking, Director Wang's face turned darker - he was taken into the ditch by Kong Diancheng.

    "A small fire depends on praise, but a big fire depends on fate. You can become popular now, but the time has come. It's not that the company has no credit."

    Kong Diancheng said nonchalantly: "Then I hope the company can produce another artist as lucky as me."

    That is to say, his secret cannot be revealed...

    Director Wang was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he calmed down and thought for a while, only to realize that Kong Diancheng had always been in control of their conversation.

    Originally, what they wanted to discuss was how to publicize Kong Diancheng's father's imprisonment.

    The problem is that they have different opinions on this matter, and Kong Diancheng threatened to terminate the contract.

    If he chooses to compromise, then Kong Diancheng will succeed, which is not a good sign; if he insists, if Kong Diancheng really terminates the contract, it will be a big loss for the company.

    He is in a dilemma.

    Director Wang worriedly scratched his thinning hair, and when he saw a few hairs on his hands, he became more worried.

    "Ahem." Director Wang coughed a few times in a pretentious manner, and slowed down his tone, "Xiao Kong, it's not such a simple matter to terminate the contract, and you may not necessarily develop better if you change to another company. You should consider this matter carefully.You are not alone, there are three teammates. Moreover, the former makeup artist is not good enough, and the former agent is not doing personnel affairs, no, they are all changed for you."

    "Oh, by the way, what we are talking about is not public relations about your life experience, why is it off topic? You disagree with the public relations method we proposed, so what do you think? Say it, and we can discuss and improve it together. Anyway, the ultimate goal, allIt's for your own good, don't you think?"

    Seeing Director Wang softening his attitude, Kong Diancheng twitched the corner of his lower lip mockingly.

    Sure enough, people who can make money are thick-skinned.

    He said: "I don't want the company to take the initiative to hype this matter up. It's better to suppress it, and don't let those materials come out."

    This is the most ideal result.

    Director Wang asked: "What if we can't hide it?"

    "It's not too late to explain PR at that time."

    Kong Diancheng didn't care for other people's sympathy at all. No matter from the perspective of the person involved or a bystander, he didn't like the behavior of buying misery.

    He hoped that his unfortunate experience would not become known to outsiders, but he also had a premonition that this matter could not be hidden.In particular, Kong De is about to be released from prison.

    Even, even if he quit the circle, these things are likely to be discussed.After all, he was popular before, as long as there is traffic, those marketing accounts don't care if it exposes people's scars.

    But at least, he won't take the initiative to gain attention and pretend to be pitiful.

    This is his pride and persistence.

    Director Wang retorted: "Then it becomes passive."

    "How can you be passive?" Kong Diancheng asked back, "As long as the company is prepared, what is the difference between others breaking the news and taking the initiative to break the news? It probably costs less money and reduces the risk of being picked up by others for your own marketing."

    Director Wang: think it makes sense.

    Next, Director Wang raised some questions, all of which were refuted by Kong Diancheng.

    Director Wang also wanted to ask about the specific details of Kong Diancheng's life experience, but he was perfunctory: "I know in my heart, if there is such a day, I can handle it myself."

    Director Wang nodded in agreement in his heart, and even thought about it very far. In the future, when Kong Diancheng was old and couldn't rely on his face for food, he might become a top manager.

    He didn't like Kong Diancheng, an artist who was too rebellious, but he had to admit that Kong Diancheng had a lot of brains and courage.

    This is barely a consensus.

    Kong Diancheng added: "Since we've covered this point today, let's talk about something else. I can't sing, I'm not suitable to stay in a boy group, and I still have a contract. I think it's time to change..."

    Then, Kong Diancheng was kicked out of the office by Director Wang with a black face.

    Kong Diancheng didn't even think that he would have an answer today, maybe Director Wang can't make the decision on this matter alone, he just wanted the upper management to think about it.

    When he was negotiating with Director Wang, Li Qian was always acting as a background board, without saying a word.

    After returning to her office, she gave Kong Diancheng a thumbs up, and said with a complicated mood and expression: "You are too reckless."

    Kong Diancheng shook his head and said, "I'm not reckless."

    He is thoughtful.

    Their company's main income comes from artist sharing, and the company is going downhill. Those qualified artists are almost just a name in the company, and there are not many artists in his age group who are popular. At the same time, because the company is in a bad situation,It can't attract new trainees with good quality.

    At present, the company is unwilling to give up on him, let alone terminate the contract with him, and watch him become a cash cow for the opposing company.

    He is unscrupulous just because he is popular and has the possibility of becoming top class.

    But this feeling of being manipulated by others and requiring all efforts to get what he wanted made Kong Diancheng a little uncomfortable.

    Either quit the circle, or wait for him to get into the top management of the company...

    However, this still needs a lot of time, and the most urgent task now is to hype his "worth".

    Kong Diancheng thought for a moment, then asked the agent: "Sister Li, do you know that there is a Teacher Lu, who is about forty years old, who likes epiphyllum or all kinds of flowers, and has a high status in the circle. What is his name?"

    Li Qian: "If you want to talk about the most famous one, it's Mr. Lu Xiuyuan. He's the right age. He likes flowers, but he's an actor at the actor level and has nothing to do with idols. Why did you ask him?"?”

    Kong Diancheng took out his mobile phone to search, and replied: "He once helped me out, and I haven't officially thanked him yet."

    As soon as the voice fell, the search results came out.

    It's just that what he entered was "actor Lu Xiuyuan", but the result was "Lu Xiuyuan" mostly.

    And there is a line of ironic small words under the search bar: the search results of [actor Lu Xiuyuan] have been displayed, but still search for [actor Lu Xiuyuan].

    Kong Diancheng: "..."

    "The road is long and the journey is far away" is probably the source of Teacher Lu's name. At that time, he didn't know the name, so he subconsciously thought that the other party's surname was "Lu".

    Why was he texting back then instead of calling?

    Then this big guy's popularity, is he still going to rub it off?
