Chapter 2644: Chapter 2648: Ye Xingbei’s Resolve

She knew that if she did anything even slightly extreme, Ye Xingbei would immediately jack the termination fee up to six hundred million, seven hundred million.

Right now, all the initiative was completely in Ye Xingbei’s hands. She could only be led around by the nose by Ye Xingbei, without the slightest ability to fight back.

Because she had to help Lou Ning terminate his contract.

And for Ye Xingbei, not terminating Lou Ning’s contract was the best option for her studio.

She silently swallowed back the blood that had risen from anger, not daring to make a sound, and stood up to walk toward the door.

Only after she left the room and closed the door did Ye Xingbei look at Lou Ning and say, "Lou Ning, are you sure Jee Zhenyu truly loves you and really wants to marry you?"

Lou Ning nodded. "Yes, I’m sure."

Ye Xingbei smiled slightly, looked at him, and asked, "Lou Ning, you’re still young, you haven’t been through much, you probably don’t understand how calculating and vicious people can be... Do you know what your commercial value is right now?"

Lou Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I roughly know a bit."

"Right now I have more than a dozen luxury brands interested in you as an endorser," Ye Xingbei said. "Do you know how much money you could make for my studio if all these luxury deals go through?"

Lou Ning nodded with difficulty, then apologized again and again. "I’m sorry, Boss, I know what I’m doing is wrong, but I really love Zhenyu, I can’t lose her, I’m sorry..."

"Lou Ning, although what you’re doing really makes me despise you, we’ve known each other after all, and you’re still young, with no reliable elders around to guide you. It’s inevitable you’ll stray and make mistakes. So I’m not going to make things hard for you. On the contrary, I’ll do my best to look out for you," Ye Xingbei said. "So you have to promise me: when it comes to the termination fee, Jee Group has to put up the money. You are not to put in a single cent, and you are absolutely not to sign any IOU to Jee Group saying you’ll pay the termination fee yourself. Can you do that?"

Lou Ning said awkwardly, "But, Boss..."

"No buts," Ye Xingbei cut him off, leaving no room for argument. "If you can’t do that, then the termination is off the table."

Lou Ning was struck dumb.

A moment later, he nodded. "Got it, Boss. I promise you."

"Besides that, when you sign with Jee Group, I’m going to assign you a lawyer. The contract you sign with Jee Group has to be reviewed by the lawyer I send. Only after he confirms there’s no problem with the contract can you sign with Jee Group," Ye Xingbei said. "Lou Ning, I’m the one who trained you. Right now you’re the brightest new star in the music scene. God has given you a talent for this, you were born with a great voice. I don’t want to see you get played by Jee Group and end up as nothing but their money-making tool."

"That won’t happen," Lou Ning said anxiously. "Zhenyu truly loves me, she would never treat me like that..."

"I’m not negotiating with you," Ye Xingbei had little patience for him. "I’m just informing you of my decision. If you agree to my conditions, then I’ll agree to terminate your contract. If you don’t agree, then you can work for me for the full fifty years, OK?"

Lou Ning froze for a moment.

A moment later, he nodded. "Okay, I agree."

"One last thing," Ye Xingbei set the glass of juice down on the table and looked at him coolly. "Not all sincerity is met with sincerity in return. Especially someone who truly loves you would never urge you to become a treacherous, ungrateful jerk. Jee Zhenyu is not truly in love with you. What she’s after is only your commercial value."
