Chapter 61: Chapter 59: The Final Negotiation

"Although Wu Jingxiang’s father does not care for this son, he still sought the best lawyer to absolve him since he is his own flesh and blood," Yu Manting continued.

"Teacher Wu was too young at that time, his mind undeveloped, and coupled with the big picture of his family environment, you can’t entirely blame him! I imagine he must regret it deeply now."

Ye Yuwei simply could not reconcile the image of Teacher Wu in her heart with that of a villain.

"Regret? Hmph!" Yu Manting sneered coldly. "When he was abroad, he used his looks and money to seduce many women. Afterward, all those women went missing."

"If Teacher Wu truly did those things, shouldn’t foreign criminal investigation techniques have found something by now?"

"He is exceptionally cunning. He would lure those women to war-torn or lawless countries before making his move, and he never targets people from Huaxia."

Ye Yuwei listened as cold sweat poured down her face, her limbs weak: "Manting, is all this true?"

Yu Manting glanced at Ye Yuwei and then took out her phone.

She opened a private photo—a family portrait—and showed it to her.

"Oh heavens! Teacher Wu actually..."

After seeing the clothing of the people in the photograph, Ye Yuwei no longer doubted Manting’s words.

"Yuwei, you must keep Wu Jingxiang’s matters and my identity a secret."

"I understand!" Ye Yuwei, strongly shaken, felt a chill wash over her body.

The hospital room fell into absolute silence.

"Manting, he, he wouldn’t..."

"Based on his past behavior, he wouldn’t harm you. He knows relevant authorities are keeping a close eye on him."

"Yuwei, I plan to transfer my film contracts to another company. The one I contacted is very capable—you can sign with them alongside me."

"...Thank you, Manting. But if I sign now, Wu Jingxiang would certainly direct his anger at you. I want to take a break for a while and then reassess the situation."

Yu Manting hesitated briefly but ultimately didn’t insist: "That’s fine. It’s best you don’t stay at the center for now. I have a secluded villa nearby—you could move in."

"No, Manting, I’ll find a place myself. If certain people discover I’m staying at your villa, it might cause unnecessary trouble."

"...Fair enough, but at least take this."

Yu Manting placed a bank card in Ye Yuwei’s hand: "The PIN is your birthday."

"Manting, I can’t accept this—I can’t use your money."

Ye Yuwei dared not accept such kindness anymore; she feared she would never be able to repay it.

"Yuwei, even now, you still don’t treat me as a true friend?"

Looking into Manting’s sincere and pure eyes, Ye Yuwei was deeply moved.

She felt grateful that she had met Manting and Jiaqi—two loyal friends who stood by her.

"Thank you, Manting. Your kindness toward me is something I could never repay in my lifetime."

"Don’t worry. A lifetime is plenty of time." Yu Manting smiled as she grasped her friend’s hand.

"Manting, Mr. Shen may talk to me about contract matters tomorrow." Ye Yuwei also clasped Manting’s hand, her expression turning serious.

"Logically speaking, if I were to sign with Wu Jingxiang’s company, he would certainly send a lawyer to review my contract termination documents."

Yu Manting nodded as she listened: "If you don’t have a lawyer by your side, Mr. Shen might suspect an issue between you and Wu Jingxiang. He may decide not to approve your contract termination."

Ye Yuwei’s expression grew increasingly grim: "Exactly. If I can’t leave the company, they will sell my shared contract to Wu Jingxiang to extract resources."

"Don’t worry, Yuwei—I’ll handle finding a lawyer for you."

The next day, Shen Xing brought a lawyer and invited Ye Yuwei to a high-end tea house.

Not only did this place serve excellent tea, but it was equipped with small meeting rooms for business negotiations.

They chose not to talk in the company to avoid the reporters and fans staking out.

"Yuwei, in principle, the company agrees to your requests, but here are a few supplementary clauses."

As Mr. Shen spoke, the lawyer accompanying him laid out the termination document.

Ye Yuwei’s lawyer carefully reviewed the document.

After her lawyer finished, Mr. Shen began: "From the day this document is signed, the company will no longer interfere in any of your artistic activities, including live-streaming."

"However, for the next three years, you must participate in activities under the Galaxy artist label, and you need to give 5% of your annual net income as a commission, capped at a total of 500,000 for three years."

As Shen Xing spoke, he closely observed Ye Yuwei’s expression.

Seeing that she showed no unpleasant reaction, he secretly sighed in relief.

The commission clause was insisted upon mainly for Galaxy’s reputation.

If Galaxy claimed Ye Yuwei was its artist but failed to make a penny off her, they would become a laughing stock in the industry.

"Lastly, to the extent of your ability, you need to help the company nurture new talents."

Ye Yuwei glanced at her lawyer, who gave her a confirming nod, indicating that Shen Xing wasn’t lying.

Ye Yuwei picked up her teacup and sipped from it, refraining from signing hastily.

Signing quickly would make her appear guilty and could potentially arouse Shen Xing’s suspicion.

She understood Galaxy’s intentions clearly.

The most valuable clause in the supplementary agreement was indeed the first one.

If Wu Jingxiang provided her with excellent film resources that made her famous,

it would mean that Galaxy owned two notable artists—herself and her cousin.

This would not only influence stock prices but also attract more collaboration opportunities.

In truth, entertainment companies make their biggest profits through the stock market.

"I need to make a call first." Ye Yuwei set down the teacup and said with a serious demeanor.

"Of course," Shen Xing replied with a smile.

In his view, this wasn’t something Ye Yuwei would decide on her own anyway.

Ye Yuwei took photos of the document with her phone and sent them out.

After about ten minutes, her phone chimed with a message. She checked it immediately.

"Mr. Shen, we cannot fully agree to the first clause."

"I can publicly state that I am an artist under Galaxy for three years, but I must also inform the media that my shared artist agreement is with another company, from which Galaxy takes a commission."

Ye Yuwei spoke firmly and clearly, her expression calm.

Shen Xing seemed to consider this for a moment and then smiled: "That’s acceptable."

It was evident that the company had prepared multiple plans for today’s negotiation.

They were mentally ready for Wu Jingxiang’s side refusing the first clause.

After all, Wu Jingxiang also needed Ye Yuwei to boost his company’s performance and visibility.

Sharing Ye Yuwei’s influence was a mutually acceptable outcome.

The lawyer Shen Xing brought redrafted the contract, printed it out, and handed it to Ye Yuwei’s lawyer for review.

Soon, Ye Yuwei signed her name and pressed her fingerprint on the contract.

Mr. Shen, after providing proof of legal representation, signed on behalf of the company and stamped it with the company seal.

Seeing the bright red official seal, Ye Yuwei finally felt the tension in her heart ease.

"Yuwei, stepping out this time will truly broaden your horizons. I’ve always had high hopes for you," Shen Xing said warmly.

There wasn’t really any deep conflict between them; it was all just business.

Now that everything was settled, it made sense to express goodwill—there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen," Ye Yuwei said with a polite smile.

"Yuwei, the company has made all necessary arrangements. There won’t be a repeat of what happened last time tonight."

Mr. Shen quietly reminded her about the importance of fulfilling this vital contract.

"Mr. Shen, I appreciate the company’s thoughtful arrangements," Ye Yuwei responded with a slightly sarcastic smile.
