After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 941 - 502: The Stubborn Zhang Jingwen

Fengmang Film and Television Company's meeting room.

To show his importance to the matter, Chen Feng, the boss himself, attended the contract negotiation with Zhang Jingwen.

However, the specifics of the negotiations were mainly controlled by Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting.

From the beginning, Lu Sijia disagreed with signing Zhang Jingwen. Especially this time, when Chen Feng personally offered Zhang Jingwen better signing terms, it made Lu Sijia even more opposed and confused. But since Chen Feng insisted as the boss, her opposition was invalid, and she had no choice. She could only act as Fengmang Film and Television Company's negotiation representative to make the contract as good as possible and try to protect the company's interests.

The main points of the contract were basically according to what Zhang Jingwen mentioned yesterday, but there were certain changes made regarding the financial aspects.

For example, it was stipulated that every year, Zhang Jingwen would be given a leading female role in a film or television drama with an investment of over fifty million. If the company couldn't achieve this, they would have to pay compensation. Zhang Jingwen wanted one million in compensation, but the company was only willing to pay a maximum of five hundred thousand, which was also Chen Feng's stance.

After Zhang Jingwen whispered with Wang Yuee for a while, they agreed, but requested that if Fengmang Film and Television Company failed to meet this requirement for two consecutive years, she would have the right to unconditionally terminate the contract unilaterally.

After Lu Sijia discussed with Wu Mengting, they both agreed.

As for the contract term and penalty clause, Zhang Jingwen wanted to sign for only three years, but both Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting insisted on at least five years, and demanded the penalty be at least a hundred million.

However, Zhang Jingwen firmly disagreed on this point. Eventually, Chen Feng made the decision, deciding on a three-year term with the penalty reduced to sixty million.

Zhang Jingwen agreed.

Once the main points of the contract were settled, Chen Feng, the boss, didn't need to oversee the remaining specific details, and Zhang Jingwen didn't either, leaving it all to Wang Yuee, her agent, and Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting to negotiate and decide.

As a seasoned agent in the industry, Wang Yuee knew that similar contracts have templates. Once the main issues are settled, other parts can be fitted into similar contract templates, with individual issues negotiated, making finalization quick.

And indeed, that was the case. From eight in the morning until eleven, just three hours, the content of the entire contract was fully discussed and settled.

However, to be cautious, both parties invited lawyers on-site for consultation, research, and negotiation, only officially signing the contract once both felt there were no issues.

After signing the contract, it was about one in the afternoon. Chen Feng suggested taking everyone out for a good meal, treating it as Zhang Jingwen's welcome banquet.

Everyone naturally had no objections, not even Zhang Jingwen.

So, they went to a somewhat upscale restaurant nearby to enjoy a welcome banquet. The food tasted quite good and was reasonably priced. Even Chen Feng didn't drink alcohol. The total was a little over three thousand yuan, and, of course, Chen Feng, the boss, footed the bill with his own money, not planning to expense it with the company.

Of course, this was also because the company belonged to him personally; such a small amount didn't make much difference whether expensed or not.

After the meal, it was about three in the afternoon. Lu Sijia, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui needed to return to the company. Wang Yuee and Zhang Jingwen needed to head back as well, so Chen Feng naturally parted ways with them.

Chen Feng got into his car and immediately sent Zhang Jingwen a message, asking her to hurry back to East Lake Garden.

He drove ahead to East Lake Garden.

Upon receiving Chen Feng's message, Zhang Jingwen didn't respond immediately. Instead, she put down her phone and sat quietly in the passenger seat, turning her head to look out the window.

As she drove, Wang Yuee glanced at her and then asked, "Can you tell me the truth now? How did you get Chen Feng to agree to sign you? Did you make a deal with him?"

Previously, Zhang Jingwen said Chen Feng agreed to sign her and mentioned her improved contract terms. Wang Yuee was very curious and asked what happened, but Zhang Jingwen didn't respond directly and eventually said she'd tell her after signing the contract.

Now that the contract was signed, Wang Yuee couldn't help but ask again.

"Since you've guessed, why ask?" Zhang Jingwen replied calmly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Did you really make a deal with him? What kind of deal? Did you sacrifice yourself?" Wang Yuee continued to probe.

Zhang Jingwen confessed, "Yes, I did sacrifice myself."

Wang Yuee was momentarily stunned, nearly hitting the car in front.

Having been her agent for two or three years, and knowing her for four or five years before that, Wang Yuee was well aware of Zhang Jingwen's personality and found it hard to believe she'd sacrifice herself just to sign with Fengmang Film and Television Company.

As the Zhang Family's pampered daughter, Zhang Jingwen grew up with a silver spoon, and was always proud and aloof. Since entering the entertainment circle, she maintained her integrity, rarely attending those star-studded parties or other murky gatherings.

She always refused the unspoken rules hinted at by industry or capital bigwigs.

She never had ambiguous relations or secret romances with other men.

If it weren't for the accidental encounter with Chen Feng last year, Wang Yuee might have suspected her sexual orientation.

And now, just for a contract with Fengmang Film and Television, she didn't hesitate to offer herself to Chen Feng, the boss. It seemed like an enormous change in personality.

"I suggested you deal with Chen Feng and convince him, not to sleep with him. Did you need to sacrifice so much?" Wang Yuee, having some ties with Zhang Jingwen's family, and having known her for years despite her prickly nature, got along with her and she listened to her advice.

More importantly, Wang Yuee was a conscientious agent and genuinely didn't want her to be tainted by the bad atmosphere of the entertainment world or to sink into degradation.

"It's not what you think. I did sacrifice some dignity, but I didn't sleep with him, nor did he sleep with me."

Knowing Wang Yuee was concerned, Zhang Jingwen briefly explained.

"You didn't sleep with him, and he still signed you? And even gave you good terms?" Wang Yuee was skeptical.

After slight hesitation, Zhang Jingwen added, "All in all, I did sacrifice a bit of my allure, but he didn't get what he wanted. And I won't let him get what he wants."

Wang Yuee became more confused and pressed, "What's really going on? Tell me everything. I'm still your agent, and this relates to your dealings with the company boss, so you must tell me in detail."

Only then did Zhang Jingwen awkwardly and hesitantly recount what happened with Chen Feng yesterday, ending by emphasizing, "Anyway, I've now signed with Fengmang Film and Television Company. It's all in black and white, legally binding. So if I now refuse to be his lover, he can't do anything to me. As for film contracts, he can't hold them back, or he'd have to pay me five hundred thousand each year, a million in two years, and I could unconditionally break the contract with them."
