Chapter 581: Currying Favor With the Third Master
In the end, all of them had left after filming had ended. If even one of them had looked back, this would not have been the outcome.
In the end, if Huo Xuanzhou had not been there, she might have really drowned. Her body would not have been found in the sea.
“Sheng Sheng, I know that no matter what I say, it won’t make up for your mental anguish. I’ve already discussed this with the company. If you request to terminate the contract, we’ll compensate you accordingly.” Feng Yao was really sorry. It was the film crew’s safety measures that had not been up to standard.
However, he could not accept putting all the responsibility on the film crew. After all, before filming, they had already sought the artist’s opinion.
Ling Sheng wanted to earn money, and her drowning had really been an accident. She was good at swimming and had received a professional diving certification. If it had not been for an emergency, this would not have happened. She knew that Feng Yao had something else to say and listened quietly.
No matter what Feng Yao did, he liked to understand the partners he was working with before filming. He knew that the lady in front of him was a smart person. Based on her variety shows and her usual performances, he knew that her personality was not bad. She would not offend others unless they offended her. If he angered her, she would get angry too. If he discussed something with her properly, it would be very easy to talk to her. “If we continue working together, the financier will be willing to give you a raise.”
Based on the contract, the chocolate company had made the decision to hold an emergency meeting. If she was unwilling to continue filming because of this sudden incident, the contract would be terminated and she would not have to pay for breaching it. They would even pay her additional compensation for mental anguish.
If she did not terminate her contract, she would continue filming. The advertising fee would be based on her original salary, and an additional 50% would mean an increase of 2.5 million.
He guessed that the company had made this decision because they knew she was the Third Master’s woman. In China, who would not be too afraid of death to dare offend the Third Master? If they could make Ling Sheng happy, she would become their amba.s.sador and be on good terms with the company in the future. Then, the Third Master would be easier to talk to.
Otherwise, given the way capitalists behaved and their disgusting and bloodthirsty methods of exploitation, they would have thought, So what if you drowned? You’re not dead. The contract has been signed. You should be secretly happy that we aren’t suing you for breach of contract or requiring compensation for the termination. You want more money and compensation for your mental anguish? Dream on!
Ling Sheng was very calm, but she was already thinking about how much more money she wanted. Upon seeing Feng Yao’s performance, she guessed that it wouldn’t be a low sum. She smiled politely and said, “Director Feng, I’m also responsible for this. In adherence to the spirit of the contract, I’ll continue filming no matter what.”
Feng Yao looked at the young lady in front of him and thought that she was a smart person. “Then, the financier will contact you soon. On top of your original advertising fee, you’ll get a 50% raise.”
Ling Sheng had not expected him to add so much at once. Given the way those capitalists behaved, they were being really nice to her. She did not think they would be so nice to her for no reason. If she terminated the contract, they would not have to compensate her. Instead, she would have to pay. If she did not terminate the contract, they would have to pay more. She smiled. “Director Feng, does the company know about the Third Master?”
It seemed like they wanted to curry favor with the Third Master through her!
She did not think she was that charismatic. She was the same no matter what she did, let alone when she acted. How much would others pay for an almost accidental death? That was the maximum price, not to mention that she was still fine.
Sometimes, when one thought about it, human lives were really not worth much.
