158 Termination Fee One Dollar
The matter between Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan fermented even more.
Even if Shi Wenfei closed the comments section on Weibo, she was in a terrible fix.
Even Zhou Yufan’s company’s stocks was affected.
The netizens also used the video to quickly find all kinds of evidence that Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei were already together.
For example, the background layout of the room in Shi Wenfei’s previous live broadcast was exactly the same as the one Zhou Yufan had posted online.
There were also the various small actions of the two of them on the variety show.
There were even people who called themselves the staff of “Love Warning” who revealed that Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan had slept in the same room several times.
In the blink of an eye, the wind changed. Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan had entered the center of the storm.
At this moment, Shi Wenfei was staying in Zhou Yufan’s apartment.
Zhou Yufan was discussing countermeasures with the public relations manager.
In the end, they finalized the plan and asked the public relations manager to carry it out.
Shi Wenfei’s eyes were swollen from crying and she did not even dare to turn on her phone.
An overwhelming scandal was brewing.
Zhou Yufan went forward and pulled Shi Wenfei into his arms. He comforted her softly, “It’s fine, Feifei. With me around, I’ll resolve it.”
“Can it really be resolved, Yufan?”
“Trust me, Feifei.”
Shi Wenfei choked and said, “Then can I still return to the entertainment industry? Yufan, I really like the profession of an actress. I really don’t want to quit just like that.”
She grabbed Zhou Yufan’s clothes and cried even harder.
Zhou Yufan also had many things on his mind.
Even the company’s stocks were affected, and his current position as the CEO was in danger.
Therefore, when he heard that Shi Wenfei was only concerned about whether she could continue to stay in the entertainment industry, he felt a little frustrated.
However, he still endured it and said, “Feifei, no matter how we deal with this matter, we can only admit to it in the end. Hence, you have to withdraw from the entertainment industry for the time being.”
“What?!” Shi Wenfei was in disbelief. “Yufan, I don’t want to quit. I’ve sacrificed so much. It wasn’t easy for me to reach this step. I… I don’t want to!”
Zhou Yufan rubbed his glabella. “When you quit, we can get married. Isn’t it good to be my wife and enjoy life at home? My parents also hope that you can accompany them at home.”
“But…”
Hearing the word “married”, Shi Wenfei began to hesitate.
Compared to the glitz of the entertainment industry, marrying into the Zhou Family was naturally a better choice.
Especially now that her parents were affected and Zhou Yufan’s family was still willing to accept her, she should seize the opportunity.
“Will Uncle and Auntie accept me…” Shi Wenfei asked carefully.
“Why wouldn’t they? They can’t be happier. After this storm passes, I’ll give you a grand wedding and make you the happiest bride in the world.”
When Shi Wenfei heard Zhou Yufan’s words, she gradually calmed down.
She smiled through her tears. “Alright!”
“Then what are you going to do this time?”
Zhou Yufan took out his phone and opened Weibo. “We can only take the risk now.”
On the trending list, everyone was still discussing Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei.
At this moment, a trending topic quickly appeared out of thin air.
Everyone opened it and saw that it was Zhou Yufan’s account. He had made a statement.
He first released the email that threatened him for money. The name “Ray” was written on it.
Then, he admitted to his relationship with Shi Wenfei and said that a hacker called “Ray” had threatened him for eight million yuan with this video.
He also promised that the video would not be circulated.
Zhou Yufan released his chat with Ray and the information about him.
It showed that with Ray’s status, it was absolutely impossible for him to threaten him for just eight million dollars.
Therefore, he suspected that someone was impersonating Ray.
It was also at this moment that Shi Ran’s contract with Zhou Yufan’s company was released. It clearly stated that the termination fee was eight million yuan, the same amount as the threat.
In the end, Zhou Yufan said that it was his fault for cheating, so he could accept any moral condemnation. But Shi Ran’s actions had violated the law, so he had already called the police.
No one expected this.
[No way? Threat????]
[It’s really difficult to believe that such a coincidental number has nothing to do with Shi Ran.]
[Moreover, if I remember correctly, before the incident between Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan broke out, there happened to be a storm within the Shi family.]
[It’s obvious that she’s deliberately taking revenge, so she violated the conditions she discussed with Zhou Yufan previously.]
[Eight million yuan for the termination fee. Celebrities are really rich!!!]
Just as everyone was about to watch the show, almost a minute after the trending topic, Shi Ran suddenly posted on Weibo.
There were no words, only a picture.
The photo was of her termination contract with Zhou Yufan’s company. It was clearly written that the termination fee was one dollar.
...
[Pfft, hahahaha, is this true?? The termination fee is only one dollar??]
[Is there really such a cheap termination fee?!]
[Please take a look at the signature of the lawyer below, Zhang Lu.]
[Could it be the chief of the legal department of KT Corporation??]
[It should be him. Other than him, I really can’t think of anyone else who’s so awesome that they can bring down the termination fee to 1 dollar.]
[Isn’t this a slap in the face? Do I still need to threaten you for a 1 dollar termination fee???]
[Master Ran is Master Ran. She doesn’t say much and directly pastes evidence.]
[Didn’t anyone notice? Zhang Lu is the chief legal officer of KT Group and belongs to Third Young Master. Why is he helping Shi Ran?]
[Previous poster, you’ve discovered something! So Third Young Master and Master Ran already know each other back then!! Their relationship has even reached this point???]
Everyone discussed fervently, but no matter what, the public opinion was all beneficial to Shi Ran.
Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei were once again at the center of the storm. This time, they were even scolded for slander and launching attacks in desperation.
...
Zhou Yufan was furious.
But this matter could not be left as it is.
In the end, he could only step out and apologize.
He posted a long article about his emotionless engagement to Shi Ran.
And how when he met Shi Wenfei, he struggled to keep his heart from going astray.
He took all the blame.
Shi Wenfei had disappeared without a trace. When the fans asked her why she did not stand up, she directly announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
The Internet was also in a mess because of these people.
Shi Wenfei looked at the announcement she had made and felt lost.
Fortunately,
She still had the Shi and Zhou families. Even if she could not become a big star, she could still be the eldest daughter and young madam.
At the thought of this, Shi Wenfei remembered her family problems.
She immediately called Wen Yufei.
Previously, Wen Yufei had said that she wanted to help her but she did not know how she was doing now.
Wen Yufei quickly picked up the call and said gently, “I saw the statement you sent. What a pity. You’ve already come so far.”
Shi Wenfei lowered her eyes. “Sister Yufei, I’m looking for you regarding another matter. The last time I asked you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Yufei interrupted, “I’m sorry, I don’t think I can help you anymore.”
Shi Wenfei’s eyes widened as she asked loudly, “Why?!”
