Chapter 220 The Final Struggle
In the presence of everyone, Ye Fan said with a grin, "I didn't expect that after all these years, you little girl still get me! That's exactly what I mean!"
"Brother Ye Fan, no problem, then I'll endorse the Su Family for life without any compensation!" Wei Ziyi's face was full of smiles.
"That's fantastic!"
Su Ruoxue was overjoyed. If Wei Ziyi could endorse the Su Family for life without any compensation, her succession as the next head of the Su Family was practically set in stone.
Seeing that Wei Ziyi was about to endorse the Su Family for free, Su Tianhao panicked, "Little Queen, you can't play like this, right? You have already agreed to work with me in advance. If you now endorse the Su Family for life because of Ye Fan, isn't that a bit like bullying?"
"Bullying?"
Hearing this, Wei Ziyi looked at Su Tianhao in surprise, "Who are you? Do I know you? Have I worked with you?"
"We have worked together! Look, the endorsement contract is right here!" Su Tianhao hastily handed the endorsement contract to Wei Ziyi.
Upon inspecting it, Wei Ziyi wondered, "No, that's not right! The person who came to have me sign the endorsement agreement wasn't you. So how come this endorsement agreement is in your hands?"
"That's not important! What's important is that you have already collaborated with the Su Family!" Su Tianhao said anxiously.
If Wei Ziyi really agreed to endorse the Su Family for life without any compensation, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
With an air of arrogance, Wei Ziyi said, "Sorry, this agreement has been voided!"
"Voided?" Upon hearing this, Su Tianhao's face stiffened.
Wei Ziyi declared solemnly, "Yes, voided!"
She had signed this agreement because she was doing a favor for her agent, Yu Dan. If it wasn't for Yu Dan's intervention, she wouldn't have signed the agreement at all.
Firstly, her annual endorsement fee in China is eighty million yuan, and she has never accepted anything less.
Secondly, she had never heard of Su Corporation before, only knowing that Central Plains Su Family is currently just a Quasi-First-Tier Clan, and she wasn't familiar with their reputation.
Lastly, her quote of eighty million yuan wasn't because she wanted to ask for so much, but because the annual endorsement fees of even the outdated kings and queens of the entertainment industry weren't less than fifty million yuan. With her current popularity in China so high, if she set her endorsement fee too low, she would definitely face strong opposition from other artists in the industry.
After all, there are rules that cannot be broken, even if she is the Little Queen of the Music Scene, she cannot wantonly disrupt industry standards.
In fact, Wei Ziyi was well aware of her own tragic fate, and there were probably many in China whose fates were even more tragic than hers. In recent years, besides keeping enough for her daily expenses, Wei Ziyi had donated most of her money to charity.
Currently, she was hailed as a Charity Ambassador in China and had made significant contributions to the nation's charitable causes.
"You can't go back on your word, can you?" Su Tianhao's eyes began to look dull.
If Wei Ziyi insisted on voiding the agreement, wouldn't the position of the next head of the Su Family fall into the hands of Su Ruoxue?
This outcome was something Su Tianhao could never accept.
Wei Ziyi snorted coldly, "This agreement wasn't signed with you, where is that person named Huang Zicheng? Let him come out!"
"Young Master Huang isn't one of our Su Family; he was just lending a hand!" Su Tianhao quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ziyi furrowed her brows, "If that's the case, then this agreement is even less valid!"
Even though Wei Ziyi was only eighteen years old, she was extremely intelligent. She could see that the internal situation of the Su Family was unfriendly towards Su Ruoxue.
At this time, only by standing by Su Ruoxue could she help turn the tide.
Although doing this left Wei Ziyi feeling uncomfortable, the thought of being able to help Ye Fan made her willing to be inconsistent just this once.
"Little girl, this agreement is in black and white; you can't go back on it!"
Old Madam Su stood up immediately with a dark face upon seeing this. If Wei Ziyi was determined to support Su Ruoxue, then her plan was doomed to fail.
"And what if I change my mind?" Wei Ziyi boldly looked toward Old Madam Su.
Old Madam Su trembled with fury, and at this point, to support Su Tianhao, she was disregarding the fact that Wei Ziyi was the Little Queen.
The next moment, Old Madam Su spoke with a sinister expression, "If you dare to go back on your word, I'll have Su Corporation's Legal Department sue you right away! The contract is clear—if anyone breaches it, they must pay ten times the penalty!"
"Are you trying to scare me?"
Wei Ziyi's face darkened, "You need to understand, until your Su Family transfers the money into my account, this agreement is not in effect. Even if it were in effect, ten times the compensation, eighty million—I, Wei Ziyi, can certainly afford it."
"You… you…"
Seeing Wei Ziyi brazenly singing a different tune, Old Madam Su trembled with anger.
"Grandma, what should we do?" Su Tianhao asked helplessly.
Su Yue said blankly, "Could it be that the position of the next family head of the Su Family really will fall into the hands of Su Ruoxue?"
Last night, Huang Zicheng came to them with this strategy, which seemed flawless in their eyes. It would not only enable Su Tianhao to become the next family head of the Su Family but also take the opportunity to suppress both Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue, killing two birds with one stone. Who could have predicted that just when victory was within their grasp, an unexpected change would occur with Wei Ziyi?
"Quick, contact Young Master Huang, he's classmates with her agent. Young Master Huang must have a way," Old Madam Su urged.
Su Tianhao suddenly realized, "Right, right, right, contact Young Master Huang. If the agent puts pressure on her, she definitely won't dare to go back on her word!"
In Su Tianhao's mind, celebrities were all contracted by entertainment companies, and to some extent, an agent could suppress the company's artists.
If Huang Zicheng steps in, finds his old classmate, and pressures Wei Ziyi through the agent, she will surely yield under coercion.
"No need to call; Ziyi's agent is right here!" Ye Fan said with a sneer.
Su Tianhao was shocked, "What? Wei Ziyi's agent is here?"
"Yes!" Ye Fan looked towards Yu Dan standing behind Wei Ziyi.
Yu Dan stepped forward with a serious expression, "I am Ziyi's agent, Yu Dan. If Ziyi wants to break the contract with your Su Family, she'll break it. If your Su Family wants to sue, bring it on!"
What! Bring it on?
Seeing Yu Dan's stance, Su Tianhao and Old Madam Su's expressions changed drastically.
"Grandma, could it be that we're finished?" Su Tianhao said with a pained expression.
Old Madam Su snorted coldly, "So she says she's the agent, and that's that? Immediately contact Young Master Huang for confirmation!"
"Alright!"
Su Tianhao pulled out his phone and dialed Huang Zicheng's number right away.
"Hello! Su Tianhao, have you secured the family head position of the Su Family? Hahaha, don't mention it; it's all as it should be!" Huang Zicheng, having just gotten home, burst out laughing when he saw the call from Su Tianhao.
Su Tianhao said anxiously, "No, Young Master Huang, there's been a hitch!"
"Oh? What happened?" Huang Zicheng asked.
Without hesitation, Su Tianhao said, "Young Master Huang, it's like this, the Little Queen of the Music Scene came..."
With the situation critical, Su Tianhao laid out everything.
"It can't be? Don't panic; I'll contact Yu Dan right now. The agent standing next to the Little Queen might be a fraud!" Huang Zicheng analyzed.
"That would be great; Young Master Huang, please hurry and contact your old classmate!" Su Tianhao said excitedly.
"Mhmm!" Huang Zicheng responded simply.
Having finished talking with Su Tianhao, Huang Zicheng found Yu Dan's contact information and called her right away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After contacting Huang Zicheng, Su Tianhao glared at Yu Dan with a malevolent face, "Hmph! I knew it, you're a fake!"
"Ha? What did you say? I'm the agent and I'm a fake?" Yu Dan said incredulously.
Su Tianhao snorted, "Exactly! Young Master Huang told me, you are a fraud!"
He sounded absolutely sure, as if Yu Dan, the agent, was definitely an imposter. Despite the crisis at hand, he believed he still had a chance to turn the tables.
Beep beep!
Just as Su Tianhao thought he had the upper hand, Yu Dan's phone suddenly rang.
