    Chapter 49

    Half an hour later, Chen Shilu contacted Zhu Changyi.

    But he had too much work at hand and didn’t have time to talk in detail. He could only ask the other party if he was free after seven o’clock in the evening.Chen Shilu was embarrassed to take up other people’s off-duty time, but the other party readily agreed.

    By the time he finished his work, the sky was getting dark.

    When he contacted Zhu Changyi again, he said he had arrived downstairs at his company.

    Chen Shilu packed up his things and went downstairs, feeling a little confused.According to what Lao Luo said, Zhu Lu has a lot of business and should be very busy.A simple consultation does not require a visit in person.

    When he stepped out of the company building, the other party was already waiting for him on the roadside.

    A short and fat man, Chen Shilu was so tall that his already somewhat bald head was clearly visible.

    When Zhu Changyi saw him, she narrowed her eyes and smiled kindly: “Hello, Mr. Chen, Lao Luo said that the contract concerns your family and asked me to pay more attention to it, so I came in person.”

    Chen Shilu shook hands with him: “It’s not that important. I’d rather bother you to make a trip.” He looked at the time and said, “At this point, why don’t we find a place to have something to eat and chat a little while.”

    Chen Shilu got into Zhu Changyi’s car.A very inconspicuous man who drives a Bentley.Of course, there is an element of showing off in front of customers, but it seems that he does make a lot of money.

    Chen Shilu was even more confused. Did he bother the other party with this small consultation, or did he underestimate Lao Luo’s face?

    He chose a nearby tea restaurant that he often ate at. There were many people at the restaurant. While waiting for the meal, Zhu Changyi took out the contract that he had compiled and went through the possible pitfalls in it with Chen Shilu one by one.

    “For example, this contract lasts for ten years, locking in almost the entire golden career of the master. This is not the biggest pitfall. Look at the next sentence, when the income reaches 10 million, the contract will be automatically renewed for two years. If it is run well, there is almost no possibility of terminating the contract.

    “There are also institutions that have global and all-field agency rights, which is a comprehensive restriction on experts.

    “The moral clause of ‘harming the public image’ is very vague and broad. To be more serious, even a swear word can constitute a breach of contract.

    “In terms of institutional responsibilities, neither the training of experts nor the financial support for traffic are clearly quantified…”

    Zhu Changyi found fault with almost every clause. Chen Shilu frowned and listened. Zhu Changyi finally took out another contract: “This is the contract we have re-drafted. Mr. Chen, please take a look.”

    Chen Shilu took a look and found that the terms were indeed very reasonable, but he also had questions: “I thought this kind of organization had a standard contract. Can you negotiate this contract?”

    Zhu Changyi narrowed his eyes and smiled: “Whether we can negotiate or not depends on how valuable the expert is.”

    The contract issues were almost discussed and the food was served.The two chatted while eating, and it could be said that they had a great time talking.

    As a practitioner in the industry, Zhu Changyi also shared some dark inside stories.Chen Shilu carefully wrote them down one by one and told Chi Huang when he went back.

    After the meal, Chen Shilu asked how much the consultation fee was, but Zhu Changyi waved his hand and said no.

    This completely confused Chen Shilu: “I know you and Lao Luo are friends, but we still have to stick to the same code, that’s not how favors work.”

    “You misunderstood Mr. Chen. It’s not Lao Luo’s fault that I don’t charge you for consultation. It’s because I hope to have a long-term cooperation with you.The first time we met, it was my sincerity.”

    “Long-term cooperation?”Chen Shilu frowned.

    “To tell you the truth, this organization is my old employer, and I know their contract conditions very well.Experts who can give out a signing bonus of one million and a guaranteed minimum have their professionally calculated annual income of at least 10 million or more.Such a large-scale expert will definitely need a long-term cooperation team of lawyers.”

    Chi Huang?

    Ten million?

    Chen Shilu took a sip of tea and suppressed his fright.No wonder so many people cut their heads to get into this circle and make more money than he imagined.

    Zhu Changyi also took a sip of tea: “After that, I checked Chi Huang on the Internet and saw his circulated videos.Based on my many years of experience, I feel that he is at a disadvantage just by signing with MCN. It is not impossible to find a more professional management team to manage him into a first-line star. There are many opportunities for us to work together.”

    Chen Shilu had to look at Zhu Changyi seriously, only to find that his eyes, which were narrowed when he smiled, were full of shrewdness.

    Since the other party’s purpose was to seek cooperation for greater profits, Chen Shilu was not polite and took the contract he had re-drafted: “In that case, Zhu Lu, I will go back and discuss it first, and then contact you later.”

    Zhu Changyi quickly handed over his business card: “Mr. Chen, you also know that the more money and fame are tied to the industry, the more shady industry. You are Lao Luo’s friend. If you come to me, I will definitely treat you as one of my own.”

    It was already very late when he went back after chatting with Zhu Changyi. Chi Huang went somewhere unknown and was not at home.

    After Chen Shilu took a shower, he felt a little sleepy after waiting, but he hadn’t come back yet.To prevent him from disturbing her in the middle of the night like before, Chen Shilu called him.

    As soon as the call was connected, Chen Shilu heard the bell ringing outside the door. The next second, Chi Huang opened the door and came in.

    He hung up the phone and walked towards Chi Huang: “What are you doing, coming back so late?”

    Chi Huang just looked at him, his cheeks a little red and his eyes confused.As he got closer, Chen Shilu could smell the smell of alcohol on his body, and immediately frowned: “How much have you drunk?”

    Before the words of blame could be uttered, Chi Huang unexpectedly turned over and hugged him.Chen Shilu couldn’t avoid it: “You haven’t taken a shower yet…”

    “Chen Shilu, I feel uncomfortable.”Chi Huang rubbed against his shoulder and called him by his name, which was aggrieved.

    He didn’t know what was going on, so he asked again: “Why did you drink so much for nothing?”

    “I didn’t want to drink, they drank it from me.I was given a lot of water at noon and even more at night.”

    “Who are they?”

    “I don’t know him. The person Lao Jiang is looking for wants to get me drunk and force me to sign a contract.”

    Chen Shilu suddenly asked: “Did you sign it?”

    “I was told not to sign, so I didn’t sign.”

    “Don’t sign it easily, it’s like a contract of betrayal if you don’t get it right.”

    “Um.”Chi Huang bumped his head back and forth, rubbed from his shoulders to his neck, rubbed his lips, and the hand holding his waist reached in from the hem of his clothes to touch his waist.

    Chen Shilu was a little annoyed, not with Chi Huang, but with Jiang Chao.

    Of course he could think that the team would make money from Chi Huang, and Jiang Chao would definitely hope to sign the contract early so he could get money, but he didn’t expect the other party to be so unreliable.

    He patted Chi Huang’s face: “Go take a shower first, it’s very late.”

    “I can’t stand still, please help me.”

    Chen Shilu pulled his hand out and said, “There is a limit to pretending to be drunk. Don’t push too far.”

    Chi Huang let go of Chen Shilu, curled his lips at him, and his eyes became clearer: “You are really boring.”

    Not long after Chi Huang entered, his phone rang. When he saw the call from Jiang Chao, Chen Shilu happened to want to talk to him about Chi Huang’s contract, so he simply answered it.

    When Chen Shilu announced his home address, Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, “Is Chi Huang home safely?He drank too much and insisted not to be given away.”

    “He’s here, don’t worry.”Chen Shilu said seriously, “But the matter of his signing is related to the rest of his life. We should discuss it in the long term. You should not let people drink him and force him to sign. That will not be good for him or you.”

    Jiang Chao’s voice suddenly rose an octave: “Who made him drink and forced him to sign the contract?Did he tell you that?This lying bastard.”

    “Isn’t that what happened?”

    “Of course not.”

    I hope there will be a good list on Thursday, and I will update it during the holidays (Happy National Day, friends!)
