1793 Compensating So Much Money
âReally? Although the police havenât released a statement yet, neither have you. Arenât you tacitly admitting that your artist really did do it?â
For the sake of benefits, the other partyâs attitude was quite tough.
Lu Yaolan was too anxious to suppress Ji Rufeng and make an example out of him. She had been dealing with this matter coldly, causing the outside world to have the impression that Nirvana Entertainment was in the wrong, so they were not in a hurry to do any PR work.
Their attitude meant that Ji Rufengâs matter was most likely true.
Since it was true, it was reasonable for the other party to ask for compensation and cut their losses in time.
Only then did Lu Yaolan understand that if she wanted to suppress someone, she would have to deal with all aspects of the matter. The entanglement of interests was also extremely complicated. She couldnât mess with an artiste that easily.
All this cost would add up to 100 million!
How long would it take to earn back 100 million?
And now, because of her impulsiveness, she almost lost that sum of money!
The other party still showed some mercy. He put down the document and said, âPresident Lu, I know you need time to think about it and gather the money. Iâll keep the contract first. Weâll come back in two days.â
The secretary sent both parties out.
A moment later, Gao Ban called. âPresident Lu, weâve already received payment for the variety show contract that I signed for Ji Rufeng. Now, the other party wants double the compensation. Should I take the contract back for you to sign and then pay for it? Or should I hand it over to a lawyer?â
Lu Yaolan did not speak for a long time. Gao Ban then said arrogantly, âOh, right. Brother Yue Ze still has to sign the compensation for the commercials. Iâll wait for him!â
Lu Yaolan was in a terrible fix!
Why didnât she know that she had to compensate so much for Ji Rufeng?
Of course, she didnât know. Ever since she came back, she had taken it upon herself to chase Su Lu away. Then, her main goal was to suppress and eliminate Su Luâs trusted aides. The companyâs performance was all thanks to the hard work of those in the company. In fact, the companyâs performance was still pretty good on paper.
A lot of the people in Nirvana had received help from the company and felt attached to it, which was why they did not fall out with her. However, Lu Yaolan thought that she was managing the company well and that it would still be profitable even without Su Lu.
She had never thought about these problems.
âLet Yue Ze and Gao Ban come back,â Lu Yaolan said to the secretary.
In the afternoon, Yue Ze and Gao Ban arrived late and appeared in Lu Yaolanâs office together.
âHave you thought about how to resolve Ji Rufengâs matter?â
âWeâve already missed the best time for public relations. We can only wait for the police to give clear evidence,â Yue Ze said. âThe company hasnât done any public relations for a long time. Weâve already lost the trust of Ji Rufengâs fans and have no way out.â
Lu Yaolanâs heart trembled. It was not for Ji Rufeng, but for the money she had to compensate for Ji Rufengâs accident.
After all, the company belonged to Lu Weijian. In other words, it belonged to her. Her heart ached for every cent.
Lu Yaolan said, âDo we still have a chance?â
Yue Ze and Gao Bin shook their heads at the same time.
Yue Ze said calmly, âThe advertisers have asked for compensation. The eight major advertisers and the three companies that were about to sign contracts with us are demanding total compensation of more than 100 million yuan. This time, Ji Rufeng suffered heavy losses and will never be able to make a comeback in the future.â
Lu Yaolan regretted it.
âThink of something!â Lu Yaolan slammed the table.
Yue Ze and Gao Ban remained silent.
Yue Ze took off his glasses and wiped them slowly. Lu Yaolan only cared about benefits. She did not even ask about Ji Rufeng and if he was framed.
It was obvious that this woman had no heart. Compared to Su Bei, she was far inferior.
He flipped through the documents in his hand and turned a deaf ear.
âGo look for Su Lu,â Yue Ze said calmly.
Lu Yaolan could not lower her head.
Her eyes widened, and her breathing quickened. Wrinkles and spots appeared under her exquisite makeup.
She refused to do that!
However, she fell into deep thought again upon recalling the compensation of more than 100 million.
After Yue Ze and Gao Ban left, Gao Ban finally couldnât help but laugh out loud. He laughed until his shoulders were hunched. âPresident Suâs move is too ruthless. It feels so good to see President Lu suffer! It feels even better than a bottle of cold beer on a hot day!â
Yue Ze smiled. âYou have to keep an eye on Ji Rufeng. You canât let your guard down.â
âDonât worry, all parties have made arrangements. Iâve also talked to the higher-ups of all parties about the evidence of his surgery. Everyone has said that as long as the police can prove that Ji Rufeng really didnât do anything, heâll get what he deserves,â Gao Ban said. âJust look at the old witchâs expression. Itâs simply satisfying!â
â¦
Su Bei quickly received a call from Lu Yaolan.
âPresident Su, letâs talk.â
Su Bei agreed.
She was invited to Lu Yaolanâs private clubhouse.
Lu Yaolan had exquisite makeup on and was wearing high-end custom-made clothes. She arrived in a luxury car.
Su Bei, on the other hand, was still dressed casually and inconspicuously.
âPresident Su, I invited you here today mainly because of Ji Rufeng,â Lu Yaolan said. âIâve always thought highly of Ji Rufeng. I didnât do any public relations this time because I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didnât want young people like him to not know the severity of things and make harmful mistakes in the future. But I didnât expect things to get out of hand. President Su, I know you still have some ideas. You donât want to see the career of the young star you raised ruined, right?â
Su Bei smiled and said, âPresident Lu, are you willing to hand over the passwords to his and the companyâs Weibo accounts?â
âOf course.â Compared to the 100 million yuan loss, the passwords werenât important.
âI have a request too. I want to go back to the company.â Su Bei had already thought it through. She could not watch as the empire she built was ruined in the hands of another.
She wanted to go back in and suppress Lu Yaolan.
Actually, she still had a lot of requests. But she knew that the police were about to announce the truth about Ji Rufengâs matter. She did not have many bargaining chips, so she chose to make the most important request.
...
Lu Yaolan gritted her teeth and said, âAlright, what position do you want?â
âI want to be the executive manager.â
Lu Yaolan took a deep breath. Being the executive manager meant that Su Lu wanted to control the company, and he would have actual management rights.
Lu Yaolan was really unwilling to make this concession.
She would be giving up the entire company!
However, the matter was imminent, so she had no choice but to give in. âSure, but donât forget that the company belongs to my son. No matter what, I have the highest authority. You can do whatever you want, but you have to listen to me in the future.â
âOkay, deal!â Su Bei reached out and shook her hand.
â¦
That night, the policeâs investigation announcement was released.
