Wang Mian, who was standing nearby, heard this and knew that Li Qing was about to make a move.
Xuan Bao'er didn't know what a film and television company was, but she heard that all the big stars would listen to her, which indeed sounded very impressive.
Most importantly, Baba bought it!
Xuan Bao'er was so happy she almost jumped up and down:
"Baba is so amazing!"
"Then Xuan Bao'er will earn lots and lots of money for Baba to spend in the future!"
Li Qing's face showed the satisfaction of a doting father.
This child is truly sensible!
"Baba, Xuan Bao'er is going to play with Aunts~"
Xuan Bao'er was overjoyed.
She ran out to play as soon as she got down.
The maids in the Villa were all hired by Li Qing for many years, so he felt very at ease.
Moreover, there were highly professional bodyguards secretly protecting the surroundings.
"Qing Ge, from what you're saying, you're about to spend some money."
Wang Mian smiled faintly.
Wang Mian was like a roundworms in Li Qing's stomach; their Tacit Understanding was almost 100%.
After seeing the little one go out, Li Qing secretly lit a cigarette, specifically opening the living room's ventilation before lighting it.
"Yes, for the child's sake."
"Don't make things too difficult for Yang Mi."
From Yang Mi's pregnancy to the birth of Xuan Bao'er, it was extremely difficult for a woman to achieve this in the entertainment industry over four years; the mother and daughter suffered a lot during that time.
So, this was also for the child's sake.
Wang Mian nodded.
He knew the weight of the phrase 'don't make things too difficult for her':
"I'll handle this personally."
...
At the same time, in the Estée Lauder company building in Shanghai.
"President Chen, doesn't this constitute a breach of contract?"
In the office, Yang Mi sat on the sofa, her brows slightly furrowed, saying:
"The endorsement contract was already settled before; now you're saying you're changing people? This isn't reasonable, is it?"
Just now, Yang Mi received a call from Estée Lauder, claiming that the previous cooperation was null and void.
This made it somewhat difficult for her to accept, especially considering that her acting opportunities and collaborations were already scarce after leaving Jiaxing Entertainment Company.
She needed a large sum of money to fulfill the gambling agreement, but precisely at this moment, the only successful collaboration with Estée Lauder was also canceled.
"I apologize, Miss Yang. I know this is not compliant, so all the breach of contract fees will be compensated to you."
Chen Yu, the general manager of the branch company, said earnestly:
"So please sign here, and the liquidated damages will be transferred to your card shortly."
Beside her, He Baibai said angrily:
"How can you do this?"
"Is it because Sister Mi left Jiaheng that you think she's useless?"
"Xiao Bai!"
Yang Mi stopped He Baibai from getting angry. At this critical juncture, anger would be useless and would only make her seem childish.
"President Chen, can you tell me the specific reason?"
Yang Mi said with a cold expression.
Chen Yu showed a wry smile:
"Do I really need to spell these things out? I'm just a manager; some things are not up to me."
Yang Mi took a deep breath, nodded, and said:
"Yes, I understand."
"Then who did you find to collaborate with?"
Chen Yu did not hide it, as everyone would know once the endorsement advertisement was released:
"The higher-ups told us to find Miss Wu Yufei."
Hearing that name, Yang Mi's brows furrowed slightly, and her expression turned a bit unpleasant.
She was very familiar with Wu Yufei, and she was even a former colleague!
When they were at Jia Xing Company, the two were sworn enemies, and their relationship was not good at all.
Now that she had left the company, without her advantage, the other party had started snatching collaborations.
He Baibai was equally angry:
"It's actually her!"
"Why? Just because she has an amazing boyfriend behind her?"
"Just because she has a good relationship with Jiaheng?"
Chen Yu looked at He Baibai without speaking, but inwardly, he sneered, 'What, isn't that enough?'
"Alright, Xiao Bai, let's go back."
Yang Mi was not one to dither.
She knew that since the other party had decided to breach the contract, her disagreement was meaningless.
So she simply signed, took the liquidated damages, and left the building.
Downstairs, as the two stepped out of the elevator, He Baibai's expression suddenly darkened.
Following her gaze, they saw a woman wearing oversized sunglasses slowly approaching from a distance.
The woman was dressed in a short one-piece dress, wearing high heels, with a glimpse of her fair thighs occasionally showing with each step, her figure proud.
Her face, full of collagen, though exquisite, gave off a hint of ill will.
"Sister Mi, what a narrow escape."
He Baibai was a little annoyed.
The woman walking towards them was the currently popular star, and also the 'top star' of Jiaxing Media, Wu Yufei! Yang Mi's sworn enemy!
They say that enemies meeting makes their eyes red with hatred, but Yang Mi had no mood to stoop to her level.
She pulled He Baibai and walked forward, not even bothering to say hello.
But Wu Yufei stopped, looking surprised, and said:
"Is that Sister Mi?"
"Sister Mi, why are you here? We haven't seen each other in a while!"
"Sister Mi, are you also here to negotiate an endorsement?"
Wu Yufei was quite the actress, clearly intending to disgust Yang Mi.
And that endorsement collaboration was also arranged by Wu Yufei, with Jiaheng operating behind the scenes, plus her boyfriend's connections, successfully kicking Yang Mi out, and she herself received millions in endorsement fees!
Yang Mi's gaze was cold, and she said in a deep voice:
"So, are you here to show off to me?"
"That's really boring."
With that, Yang Mi walked out without looking back.
But Wu Yufei, having been rebuffed, wouldn't let it go so easily.
She chased after her for two steps and smiled faintly:
"Yang Mi, remember to pay the liquidated damages for the gambling agreement."
"I'm currently looking at a Villa in the East District and need the money."
A petty person getting their way and taking an inch for a mile, Wu Yufei exemplified this perfectly!
He Baibai couldn't take it anymore and turned around to retort angrily:
"Wu Yufei, are you really that boring, you bitch!"
Hearing this, Wu Yufei's face immediately turned cold:
"What did you say?!"
She didn't expect that a small assistant by Yang Mi's side would dare to curse her?
It's outrageous!
Wu Yufei stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped it up!
But He Baibai was quick, she dodged it by stepping back.
Yang Mi's face also darkened:
"Wu Yufei, if you dare to lay a hand on her, don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing the coldness in Yang Mi's eyes, Wu Yufei subconsciously lowered her hand.
Although Yang Mi no longer held great power, Wu Yufei knew that with Yang Mi's temper, she would truly dare to act against her in public!
That kind of public humiliation would be truly counterproductive.
Wu Yufei sneered:
"Yang Mi, Yang Mi, if you could change your temper, wouldn't you have become incredibly popular long ago?"
"Alright, we'll see."
"I'm going to sign the contract. Goodbye."
With that, Wu Yufei got into the elevator.
After signing the contract, Wu Yufei came downstairs with a look of satisfaction.
Under the escort of security personnel, Wu Yufei got into a Mercedes commercial vehicle.
"Chairman Zeng, guess who I just saw?"
After getting in the car, Wu Yufei looked at the woman next to her with a smile.
The woman, in her forties, was Zeng Jia, the Chairman of Jiaxing Media.
Zeng Jia, dressed in a suit, said calmly from the back seat:
"Yang Mi?"
