Pei Zhen had just finished filming when Xiao Nian's call came in.
"Pei Pei…"
In contrast to his usual lowly and loud demeanor, the manager spoke softly, sounding almost mournful.
Pei Zhen was slightly alarmed and had a bad feeling in his stomach. He spotted Fu Sichen and walked towards him quickly. "What's up? The agency had decided to put me in cold storage?"
Xiao Nian sounded miserable. "… it's worse than cold storage. The agency wants to terminate your contract."
The various sponsorship contract penalties were one thing, but the agency contract would be far worse.
"You could be liable to pay up to… eighty million," Xiao Nian fumbled as he spoke, "Daddy, why not… why not… let's not set up a family."
Which meant not coming out of the closet.
At the meeting, Xiao Nian seemed calm, but, in fact, his hands were clammy, and he was feeling panicky.
