CHAPTER 948: CHAPTER 958: CO-LIVING AGREEMENT (PART 3)

"But we agreed beforehand, Anni needs to rely on rumors with Zexiao to promote this album. Plus, Anni is with Huasi Film and Television, so it’s hard for us to explain!"

"It’s fine, I’ll bring it up to the company." Nie Anni said calmly. Even though the path the company set for her—relying on scandal with Yu Zexiao—was indeed the shortcut to success, she really didn’t want to deal with Yu Zexiao’s attitude.

Yin Maohui then said, "That won’t work! How about this, although Anni signed a full contract with Huasi Film and Television, she also signed a guest contract with us, so we can’t just ignore you. How about we scrap the ’scandal girlfriend’ angle and change to business partners, would that work?"

If it was just collaborating with Nie Anni, Yu Zexiao wouldn’t have any objections. Not only he himself, but also Jian Anning and Nie Anni beside him, nodded in agreement.

A flash of light passed through Yin Maohui’s eyes, but outwardly, he still appeared troubled: "But doing this will breach our contract with Anni and Huasi Film and Television. Even if Zexiao and Anni both request it, we just received a call from Huasi Film and Television this morning demanding increased publicity! They said if we don’t comply, we’ll be liable for damages."

That wasn’t even a lie. Today, Situ Xuan even called about this matter specifically.

Yu Zexiao, with his financial might, said, "Money is not an issue."

"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems." Yin Maohui said, feigning annoyance, "Their demand is that if we can’t fulfill our contractual obligations, all subsequent contracts with their company will be terminated! We have signed no less than ten partnership agreements with them following ’Rock Youth.’ If we can’t succeed, the loss of these contracts would be immeasurable! Plus, we’re hoping to use Huasi Film and Television’s influence in Hollywood to enter the United States market in the future..."

In short, the contract couldn’t be overturned.

His words left everyone silent. Yu Zexiao and Nie Anni, both clueless about business, frowned, understanding only that it was difficult. However, since Yin Maohui mentioned it, there must be a solution. He was just purposely downplaying his predicament to negotiate better terms.

Instead, it was Jian Anning who said, "Uncle Yin, what do you have in mind? Tell us."

Yin Maohui smiled and said, "Anning, it’s not actually that difficult. When Anning told me Zexiao was renewing his contract, I called the other party. I explained Zexiao’s intentions. Huasi Film and Television wasn’t very agreeable. After my persistent negotiation, they finally proposed an alternative solution."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Zexiao and then Nie Anni. Both nodded, prompting him to continue, "This is it—they suggested having a ’collaborative creation’ follow-up, ideally with Zexiao and Anni living together..."

"Live together?" Yu Zexiao exploded immediately, pointing at Nie Anni’s face, "Me and her? What a joke!"

Nie Anni also frowned, looking disdainful, "I would never live with this kind of man!"

"You think I want to live with you? With that terrible look and bad figure!"
