Chapter 54 - Will Compensate 100 Million Yuan

Chapter 54: Will Compensate 100 Million Yuan

“Huh?” The other colleagues were dumbfounded.
It was true that the company forbade employees from taking orders privately.
However, was Fang Mo’er the type of person who would take private orders? She took it easy every day and would not hand in her manuscript until the very last moment. How would she be willing to take the initiative to work for another company?
It was obvious that it was a misunderstanding.
Fang Mo’er was brought to Mu Chen’s office.!!
Mu Chen crossed his arms and looked at her with cold eyes. “Fang Mo’er, I understand that our contract will be expiring soon. However, I didn’t expect that you would start writing songs for other companies in advance. You’re too impatient!”
Mu Chen opened the computer and opened the email.
He pointed at the email that Fang Mo’er had just sent out.
“You privately accepted another songwriting assignment from another company while still in this company. According to our contract, you have to pay a penalty of 100 million yuan for breaking the contract.”
Only then did Fang Mo’er understand that she had been schemed against by Mu Chen.
It had clearly been Supervisor Qi who had secretly asked her to complete this arrangement.
“This is the task that Supervisor Qi gave me!”
“Hmph, our company doesn’t have such a task.”
Not long after, Supervisor Qi came in with his head lowered. When faced with Fang Mo’er’s gaze, Supervisor Qi said in a low voice, “I only told Little Fang to rest well today. I didn’t give her any task!”
“What did you say? Supervisor Qi, why are you framing me?”
Mu Chen felt that victory was already in his grasp.
He looked at her coldly as he said, “The evidence is here. What else is there to say? You are required to deposit 100 million yuan into the company’s account by tonight. If not, the company will file a lawsuit against you. When the time comes, you will also have to pay the liquidated damages.”
Fang Mo’er then recalled that in the past, her original character had been so devoted to Mu Chen that she had even signed a completely unequal contract.
One of the stipulations was that if she even violated one of the restrictions in the contract, she would have to pay the liquidated damages of 100 million yuan.
At that time, to make things difficult for her original character, Mu Chen had deliberately set the price of the liquidated damages very high in order to scare her off. He had not expected that she would actually sign the contract.
Eventually, she had even written one beautiful song after another for the company.
It was precisely this agreement that had become the last weapon that Mu Chen would use to put the squeeze on Fang Mo’er.
Fang Mo’er was infuriated by his shamelessness. “I will not pay this amount of money!”
Mu Chen said, “It’s not up to you. Tomorrow, you will be receiving a subpoena from the court.”
Fang Mo’er left the company in a huff.
It was only then that the staff in the songwriting department found out that the company had decided to sue Fang Mo’er for a penalty of 100 million yuan.
“100 million yuan? That’s too high! How could there be such an unfair contract!?”
“Fang Mo’er is too pitiful.”
“I heard that they’ve already obtained the evidence that proves that Fang Mo’er took on a private job while she was at work here.”
However, even if she had accepted a private job, that really was not such a big crime.
A few colleagues in the editing department felt indignant for Fang Mo’er, but only Supervisor Qi did not make an appearance.
Fang Mo’er got into the car angrily and made a call.
Shi Mo was in the meeting room and had always been an advocate of not picking up the phone during meetings. However, when he saw the caller ID, in an unprecedented move, he gestured for the others to wait. He immediately picked up the phone and walked out.
All the managers looked curiously in the direction that Shi Mo had gone.
“That’s weird. What happened to President Shi?”
“It has to be an important call.”
After Shi Mo picked up the call, he heard Fang Mo’er’s angry voice, “Hubby, please help me investigate a company!”
Fang Mo’er told him about the company that she had been wrongly accused of accepting a private job from.
This company must have colluded with Mu Chen.
As long as they could find out whether this company had dealings with Mu Chen, they might be able to find some evidence.
When Shi Mo heard that Fang Mo’er had been threatened with a 100 million yuan penalty, he immediately lowered his voice and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Everyone involved had to be investigated thoroughly.
Only then did Fang Mo’er feel slightly more at ease.
That night.
Shi Mo had found out that the person in charge of the other company had received an anonymous payment to his account. However, very quickly through technical means, he also discovered that this sum of money had come from Mu Chen’s private account.
Shi Mo passed these documents to Fang Mo’er. “This information is enough to ensure that Mu Chen spends some time in prison.”
Fang Mo’er was satisfied as she kept the information in her bag. “There’s no rush. He’s intending on suing me, right? Let him sue me first.”
That night, Mu Chen did not receive Fang Mo’er’s money. So, the very next morning, he had the company issue a statement that they were going to sue Fang Mo’er.
The astronomically high compensation of 100 million yuan was quickly reported by the news.
All the netizens were discussing it.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe that such a ridiculous compensation actually exists!”
“This is too high, and Fang Mo’er was really stupid to accept this contract. She was even willing to give up the right to adjust the compensation in the contract.”
Generally speaking, if the compensation in the contract was unfair to the weaker party, they could apply for a new adjustment. However, the contract stated that Fang Mo’er was willing to give up the right to adjust the compensation.
