Chapter 271 One was cold while the other was with keen emotion (1/2)
Mrs. Baili met Xia Nuan, and the latter bowed.
Mrs. Baili indicated her to sit in a friendly way. Xia Nuan sat next to her, smiled and asked, “What’s the occasion, Madam?”
Mrs. Baili gently smiled, “I just want to ask you something about Ye Sichen.”
Xia Nuan’s face froze when she heard this, “May I ask what aspect do you want to know, Madam?”
“I’ve heard that Ye Sichen is also a member of Yuezhao Organization. So, I want to know the content of the cooperation agreement between Ye Sichen and Yuezhao Organization.”
“The contract is expired and has officially terminated now.” Xia Nuan said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Baili frowned, “Since Ye Sichen is a member of Yuezhao Organization, he should follow the rules. This agreement has been reworked under my instruction. Give it to Ye Sichen and let him sign it.”
Xia Nuan gawked for a while, then took over the agreement slowly.
Her hesitation puzzled Mrs. Baili, “What’s the matter? You think it’s an inappropriate thing to do?”
Xia Nuan had just collected herself. She shook her head, forced a smile and said, “No, Madam.”
Mrs. Baili said, “That’s good. Let him sign the agreement, and he must fulfil the terms on it. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules of Yuezhao Organization. There will be severe punishment waiting for him.”
“Hm”, Xia Nuan answered her in a despondent voice.
The situation became a little bit tricky.
Ye Sichen had never liked to cooperate with Yuezhao Organization. Last time she made him join Yuezhao Organization without his permission, he became angry and indifferent to her ever since. So, she decided to terminate the contract to ease his anger. Now, however, Mrs. Baili jumped right in it…
Xia Nuan scanned the agreement made by Mrs. Baili with a grim look on her face.
The terms of the agreement were harsh and overbearing. Ye Sichen was required to perform 50 concerts within three months. If he failed to do so, which meant he broke the contract, he would have to pay double compensation to Yuezhao Organization for their loss. The shares of the music company would also be automatically transferred to the organization as compensation costs.
Xia Nuan sighed. She had no idea how to tell Ye Sichen about it.
The only thing she could do was to persuade Ye Sichen, because she needed to win Mrs. Baili’s trust and couldn’t disobey her.
Xia Nuan thought for a moment, closed the agreement, and went back to Mrs. Baili’s temporary residence.
Mrs. Baili was surprised at her arrival, “Xia Nuan, why do you come back?”
Xia Nuan thought for a moment and said, “Ma’am, I think you should send someone else to negotiate with Ye Sichen.”
“You are close to Ye Sichen, so I think you are the right person.” said Mrs. Baili.
“Madam, Ye Sichen may not listen to me. Whatever I say means nothing to him.”
Mrs. Baili listened to her words, nodded slowly and said, “You are right. I can meet him personally. In fact, I have heard of him and wanted to see him for a long time.”
There was a sly smile in Mrs. Baili’s eyes while she was speaking.
Xia Nuan caught that smile instantly, then her heart jolted for a second.
She saw conspiracy in Mrs. Baili’s eyes.
She looked more solemn, wondering what Mrs. Baili would do to convince Ye Sichen to sign those overbearing articles.
Would she threaten him?
Xia Nuan was ready to leave with a heavy heart, but two tall men appeared suddenly. They stood in front of her and stopped her from leaving. Xia Nuan was shocked and turned around to look at Mrs. Baili.
Mrs. Baili looked at her with a sneer on her face.
“What do you mean, ma’am?”
Mrs. Baili spoke slowly, “I think you should stay in here and learn from me, because you are too soft-hearted.”
Right after Mrs. Baili finished, the two men gestured Xia Nuan to go.
Although she was grounded in this place, Mrs. Baili did neither threaten her to do anything she was unwilling to do nor embarrass her. She just forbade her from leaving her sight.
Ye Sichen showed up at Mrs. Baili’s house. Seeing Xia Nuan standing next to Mrs. Baili, he felt more furious. But he controlled his anger soon, then looked at Mrs. Baili coldly.
“Mr. Ye, I asked you here to discuss the contract.”
Ye Sichen said flatly, “Yes, I’m also here for the contract. This contract is void. It was signed without my permission. Therefore, the agreement should be nullified and not recognized in law.”
Then he looked at Xia Nuan. She felt flurried and looked away.
She knew that he was blaming her for taking the initiative to take him in Yuezhao Organization.
But Mrs. Baili said, “Ye Sichen, I always know that you are unwilling to work for the organization, so I have my way to deal with you.”
