She had signed a five-year contract, and there were still four years left. There was a clause in the contract that if Nan Zhao terminated the contract early, she would have to pay the company a total of one billion yuan as a penalty.
Back then, in order to please the Nan family, and because Nan Zhao believed that the Nan family would not harm her, she blindly signed the contract. She did not expect that it would bury a hidden danger today.
Nan Zhao frowned and called Nan Shen back. "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? Nan Zhao, as an artist, don't you know what you should do?" Nan Shen said sinisterly.
Before Nan Shen could finish, Nan Zhao interrupted. "Don't be like a eunuch here. If your mouth can't spit out anything valuable, you might as well chop it up and cook it. At least you can sell it for a few yuan."
"You…" Nan Shen thought about his plan later and held his breath and tried to calm down. "The company has assigned you a Man vs. Wild show..."
Nan Zhao refused without hesitation. "I've been sick recently. I'm not going."
In the past, the resources that the Nan family gave her were either specially used to make her ugly next to Nan Xi, or they were some trash resources that were not up to standard. They had never really considered her at all.
Moreover, now that she had completely fallen out with the Nan family, the Nan family just wanted to grind her bones to ashes, let alone find her good things.
Nan Zhao thought that the resources sent by Nan Shan were either traps or poisons. She was too lazy to listen carefully.
Anyway, she was only going on strike, not terminating the contract. It was not bad to be able to delay the contract for four years without paying the penalty.
"Maybe after a while? Didn't you have openings recently..." Nan Shen frowned, still trying to trick Nan Zhao.
"I won't be able to go for long. I'll be sick." Nan Zhao simply lied through her teeth.
Nan Zhao's attitude of not giving him a chance completely angered Nan Shen. He gripped his phone tightly and looked at Nan Xi, Nan Ye, and the others beside him. He said angrily, "Nan Zhao, with your attitude, do you want to quit? Believe it or not, I'll ban you and make you get out of the entertainment industry!"
"Sure, I don't mind." Nan Zhao shrugged.
She was really not afraid of Nan Shen's threat. If Nan Shen wanted to ban her, she would just start over in another industry and start another business. Anyway, she now had 500 million yuan in start-up funds. Coupled with her own strength, she did not have to worry about not being able to support herself.
"Do you really want to fight to the death?" Seeing that he couldn't control Nan Zhao, Nan Shen's face immediately darkened. With his connections in the entertainment industry, even with Jiang Cheng's protection, it was enough to make Nan Zhao suffer heavy losses.
However, Nan Zhao thought for a moment and relaxed slightly. "I can agree to go. After participating in this show, the company will take the initiative to terminate my contract."
Nan Zhao wanted to terminate the contract and leave?! Nan Shen was still hesitating when he saw Nan Xi, who had been watching, give him a look. "Brother, if she wants to terminate the contract, just agree. Anyway, we can get rid of her on this show."
Nan Shen nodded. "Sure, sign it after the filming is done. You can leave if you want to. The company won't keep you."
"Sign the contract first, then I'll go participate in the show. Don't dawdle." Nan Zhao did not back down.
"... Alright." Nan Shen gritted his teeth and hung up the phone.
Nan Zhao didn't wait long before she received two electronic contracts from Nan Shen.
One was a contract to become a guest on this Man vs. Wild show. The contract required her to fit into her evil woman persona, and be pretentious, selfish, and vicious. She had to target Nan Xi in every way to gain attention and popularity for Nan Xi and bring out Nan Xi's kind and adorable image.
This was no different from Nan Shen's usual hype. Nan Zhao looked through it briefly and confirmed that there were no problems before looking at the next contract.
The next contract was what she had requested. After participating in Man vs. Wild, she would automatically terminate the contract with Nan Shen's Company. She would not have to pay any penalty or be responsible for the termination.
Nan Zhao raised her eyebrows. The Nan family would agree to terminate her contract in order to make her participate in this show. It seemed that there were hidden dangers in this show, and they were specifically targeting her.
Nan Zhao was prepared to deal with the Nan family's difficulties and signed the contract.
The filming time for Man vs. Wild was very soon. When the guest list was finalized, Nan Zhao received a notice from Nan Shen that the filming would start in three days.
