459 I Am Lion (1/2)

Lu Qi'er was flabbergasted and she burst out, ”What the hell, I'll have to pay a compensation sum that's ten times the worth of the songs Lion has written for me?”

It was understandable for Lion to include such a term in the contract they had signed previously. Lion would have required a singer to have a certain level of a fan following since a guaranteed fan base would secure some success for the album. It was common for the showbiz and hence she didn't take that term to heart.

She was doing well as the daughter of the Lu family and the music queen before she had signed the contract. Not only did she have a loyal following of 80 million followers on Weibo, the Lu's and Fu's, both wealthy and influential families were also behind her back. She had fulfilled all the criteria and never expected herself to ever fall from grace.

Who would have thought that she would end up losing everything.

She was no longer welcomed in the music industry and since Lion had already composed ten songs for her, she had to compensate Lion for the breach of contract.

”Don't forget that it costs 10 million dollars for each song that Lion composed, that would amount to 100 million dollars for the ten songs. The compensation sum would then be…10 billion dollars.” Lu Qi'er's manager, Sister Yue said.

10 billion dollars?

How much money was that exactly?

Lu Qi'er couldn't keep up, her fingers weren't enough for her counting. She definitely wasn't able to fork up with such a huge sum of money.

She had owed Lion 10 billion dollars before she could even realize what was going on!

”Sister Yue, I don't have that much money, could you please help me think of a solution?”

”Lu Qi'er, I would like to inform you of something. I've already tendered my resignation and I'm no longer your manager from today onwards.”

”What? Sister Yue, I…”

”Lu Qi'er, if I were you, I'd definitely look for Fu Qinglun to ask him for help. He would never leave you alone and perhaps, he'll help you pay the compensation sum of 10 billion dollars.” Sister Yue hung up the phone.

It was only after Sister Yue hung up the call that Lu Qi'er realized she was doomed. The moment she fell from grace, no one was willing to extend their help and she had lost everything she owned.

How did she even land herself in such a plight?

Her hopes weren't completely dashed, Sister Yue had reminded her well. She could still depend on Fu Qinglun.

She could still capitalize on the incident that happened between her and Fu Qinglun when they were younger and ask for 10 billion dollars from him.

…

At the Fu Corporation.

In the President's office, Lu Qi'er spoke frantically, ”Qinglun, you must help me think of a solution to this mess, I can't fork out 10 billion dollars.”

She had escaped from Tang Mo'er's retribution but couldn't escape from Lion's clutches.

Fu Qinglun was clad in a white shirt with black trousers, he stood tall before the windows and the sun rays beamed down on him, making him appear personable.

He flipped through the contract that Lu Qi'er had signed with Lion, furrowing his brows and giving Lu Qi'er a cold-eyed stare. ”Didn't you look through this contract before signing it? It's obvious that Lion was setting you up, you must be brainless to even sign such a contract.”

Fu Qinglun swung his arm and flung the contract on the carpeted ground.

”I… I…” Lu Qi'er wasn't able to speak up and explain herself. Her only intention behind hiring Lion as her composer would be to increase her popularity as a singer. With Fu Qinglun having her back and providing the 100 million dollars for her, she hadn't considered anything more when she signed the contract decisively.

Bei Chuan was aware of Lu Qi'er's greedy intentions long before and he questioned her, ”Miss Lu, why are you looking for President? Are you going to ask for the 10 billion dollars from our President?”

This woman was really going to behave shamelessly and ask for the 10 billion dollars from Fu Qinglun.

Lu Qi'er riveted her gaze on Fu Qinglun's face and observed his facial expressions. 10 billion dollars wasn't a small sum and even if Fu Qinglun owned the Fu corporation, he wouldn't be able to fork up with such a huge amount of money that easily. But she couldn't give up on her plans, she had to obtain that sum of money to save herself from this mess.

She walked in front and begged with a pitiful tone, ”Qinglun, are you not going to help me despite having the ability to do so? Even if you no longer have feelings for me, you shouldn't forget about our ordeal when I was younger. I was only a six-year-old back then, you…”
