Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: I Paid a Penalty to Terminate the Contract
Levin was somewhat disheveled by her sudden oppressive presence. After steadying his mind for a moment, he walked back to his desk and explained in a stiff, businesslike tone, “The pany is dismissing your team because none of the artists from the same period have their own studios and small teams. The executives decided not to set a precedent for you, fearing dissatisfaction among the other artists in the pany. However, we will arrange a suitable agent and assistant for you, who will not be inferior to those in your small team.”
“As for Estelle…”
Levin’s plexion worsened, and he endured it to say, “I didn’t expect her to resign either. The pany’s intention was just that since you are not being given a separate small team, there is no need to transfer her to specifically be your agent. This was supposed to be a good thing—fearing she might not adapt, the pany even kept her original position so she could continue working as an artist coordinator. We explained to her clearly that if she performs outstandingly in the future, there would be room for promotion. She insisted on resigning—what could the pany do?”
“Rong Yan, after you returned to the country, you signed with KT, which shows trust in the pany. You are currently popular with good prospects, and terminating the contract would not be a good choice for you. Consider it carefully—stay with the pany, and the pany will not mistreat you…”
“But I want to terminate the contract.”
Levin couldn’t continue.
Rong Yan, however, spoke deliberately, “Since Estelle is leaving, I see no reason to stay. Besides, we are all adults. I am well aware of why the director dissolved my team and forced Estelle out. There’s no need for you to give me those high-sounding reasons—I don’t believe them, and you probably don’t either. Staying would only make things difficult for the pany. It would be better to part ways amicably. I am grateful to the pany for signing me during my most challenging time. In the future, if KT needs my help, I will do my best to assist as a freelancer.”
Her words to this extent made the contract termination almost irreversible.
“I’ve left my bank card with the termination letter. It has just enough to cover my penalty for breach of contract.”
Her gaze was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Levin, I am serious this time. I want to terminate the contract!”
The luxurious office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Others dared not speak, lowering their presence as if they were stone statues.
Levin, with a throbbing headache, braced himself against the desk, “I’ll hold on to your termination request for now until the president arrives and see what he thinks.”
“Levin, this is a termination with pensation for breach of contract.” That is to say, she could unilaterally declare the termination valid without seeking the pany’s consent.
Levin was squarely cornered, making his headache worse, the nerves at the back of his head pulling at his temples painfully. He was caught off guard and didn’t know how to handle things.
The new president had a clear stance; he definitely couldn’t let Rong Yan leave. Moreover, letting Rong Yan go would mean he’d pletely offend Li Group.
KT Entertainment had been developing smoothly over the years, growing bigger in the industry because it was backed by the significant support of Li Group.
If he offended the backing, not just him, but the whole pany would suffer.
“Mr. Li…”
He now thought of Li Shengxiao, hoping to bring him up to convince Rong Yan not to terminate the contract.
But just as he began, Rong Yan anticipated his following words, “Terminating the contract with the pany is my own decision. If he knew, he would only support, not stop me.”
If he knew, he would only support me, not stop me. Those words inexplicably made Levin’s heart tremble with fear.
