Chapter 55 - It Was Payback Time
Chapter 55: It Was Payback Time
Who was the one who had written such a harsh contract? It was simply too shocking.
No one had ever thought that a songwriter would have to pay 100 million yuan as compensation.
The loss and compensation were grossly incompatible.
No one had expected that this contract would become a trending topic.
No one had thought that the netizens’ focus would not be on Fang Mo’er’s breach of contract, but on how ridiculous the contract was.
Mu Chen’s company had only just filed a lawsuit with the court, but the internet was already abuzz with discussion, which seriously affected the company’s image.
“President Mu, it’s bad. The netizens are saying that our company is an unscrupulous company, which mistreats our employees!”
“There are even people who have dug up all the contributions Fang Mo’er has made for the company. Many people are on Fang Mo’er’s side!”
While Mu Chen was waiting to receive 100 million yuan, this was the news he received instead.
In an instant, he was stunned. He quickly asked, “What is the Public Relations department doing about this?”
“The topic is too popular. The Public Relations department is unable to delete it even if they wanted to!”
“The company’s stock is plummeting!”
No one had expected this incident to blow up. The netizens were in an uproar, as if someone was deliberately fanning the flames.
Mu Chen was livid. He quickly opened the webpage and almost fainted when he saw the reactions of the netizens.
Bai Rong was busy trying to figure out the script for the audition when her assistant ran in.
“Sister Bai, this is bad! Some netizens have said that you stole someone else’s boyfriend, and now that the company has made use of the other person, they’re ready to burn the bridge with them!”
Bai Rong quickly stood up. “What’s going on?”
On one side, the entire company was in a mess.
On the other side, Fang Mo’er was in Shi Mo’s office, observing the discussions with relish.
Initially, Fang Mo’er had wanted to reveal the evidence that Mu Chen had framed her. However, before she could even bring it out, she realized that the eyes of the masses were bright.
It was such a ridiculous contract, that the netizens were indeed ridiculing it.
It looked like Mu Chen would soon be forced to take the initiative to look for her without her needing to do anything.
In front of Fang Mo’er were all kinds of delicate desserts, all the kinds of food that girls liked to eat.
Shi Mo was in a meeting and had asked her to wait here for a while.
Fang Mo’er sat leisurely, feeling as happy as if it was a holiday.
Sc*mbag, sc*mbag, sc*mbag, it’s time for your retribution! You guys tricked me!
Fang Mo’er felt great.
As expected, Mu Chen very quickly gave her a call. “Fang Mo’er, I don’t want your 100 million yuan anymore. Please release a clarification video right now and say that this has all been a prank and that there’s no such thing as a sky-high compensation!”
Mu Chen’s tone was a little anxious.
Fang Mo’er was calm and composed. “Why wouldn’t there be? Weren’t you so persistent about me needing to take out 100 million yuan that day? That if you didn’t receive it, you would sue me. Oh yes, I recorded it too.”
She had sensed that something was wrong that day and had recorded the whole conversation with her phone.
Mu Chen did not lose hope and revealed his shameless side.
“Fang Mo’er, what is it that you want?”
“What do I want? Didn’t you provoke me first? Can’t you just let me leave the company when my contract expires? You were the one who wanted to frame me. Now that you’ve brought this upon yourself, you’ll just have to bear with it.”
Mu Chen’s breathing quickened as he said, “Fang Mo’er, I’m begging you. Just tell me what you want and I’ll agree to it.”
She had to say that this contract was fake, otherwise, the netizens would expose the entire company.
The company had already announced that this contract was fake and that it had only been a joke.
However, the netizens still did not believe it and wanted to hear it straight from Fang Mo’er’s mouth.
Fang Mo’er considered it for a moment and said, “Alright, let’s meet up and talk.”
Fang Mo’er then picked up her bag and left. She told Assistant Yu that she would be back soon and left.
They arrived at Creative Entertainment.
When everyone saw that Fang Mo’er had returned, their faces clearly showed how eager for gossip they were.
Some of them even had pity in their eyes. Fang Mo’er was still the nominal leader of the company, having invested a lot of capital into the company. She had even written a lot of songs for Bai Rong. In the end, it was really tragic that she had ended up like this.
After all, it was 100 million yuan!
Fang Mo’er went straight into the elevator. When she encountered Supervisor Qi, she pretended not to see him.
Supervisor Qi felt a little guilty. “Little Fang.”
Fang Mo’er did not even look at him. Even if he had been under pressure from the higher-ups, it was a fact that he had tricked her.
She came to Mu Chen’s office and knocked on the door.
Mu Chen anxiously opened the door.
“Mo’er!” Mu Chen was unusually gentle. “Please hurry up and make an explanation to the netizens. I didn’t expect to misunderstand you, but now, I’ve found out that you didn’t break the contract at all! After all, we used to be boyfriend and girlfriend. On account of our previous relationship, I won’t really sue you.”
“Oh, then what’s this?” Fang Mo’er handed over a document.
On it was the evidence that Mu Chen and his accomplice had wanted to harm Fang Mo’er.
When Mu Chen saw it, his expression changed. He knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he simply said, “What is it that you want now?”
