Chapter 26 What's Good About Dancers

Chapter 26 26. What are the advantages of being a dancer?

Ramada Optics Valley Hotel.

When the waiter brought snacks to the same place again, my eyes couldn't help but look around again and again.

It's only been a few hours and the beautiful girl has changed.

It's just a change, but it's still just as stunning.

"So, you borrowed money from a financial company mainly because you couldn't pay the penalty?"

"Correct."

The girl who replaced Gu Caiwei will sit face to face with Zhou Mingyuan.

His hands were crossed and his crescent-shaped eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"The company's contract is totally unreasonable. I barely make ends meet and can't save much."

"Let me see the contract."

Zhou Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the Loewe bag the girl placed on the coffee table.

"Here, they're all here."

The girl's name is Du Jianuo.

Because of his outstanding appearance, he accumulated a group of fans very early on and is a real campus celebrity.

I just signed a contract with an MCN company this year and officially became a anchor.

The other party promised to provide her with traffic support, personal IP creation, and various live broadcast resources, and pushed her to become Jiangcheng's leading internet celebrity.

Unexpectedly, the results were quite different.

I didn't make much money, but the penalty for breach of contract from the company hit me in the face first.

"It's a complete lie!"

"There's nothing to show for the services they promised, and they're forcing me to stream a certain number of hours a day. If I can't do that, they'll deem me in breach of contract."

Du Jianuo said angrily.

Under the company's relentless pressure and claims, she had no choice but to download Qufenqi and borrow a sum of money to pay for the liquidated damages.

It was the text message from Mingli Legal Consulting Company that made her come for consultation on a whim.

"Aren't you too naive?"

Zhou Mingyuan burst out laughing.

He has seen too many of these MCN company tactics that are now commonplace in later generations.

This year, capital poured in, the MCN industry grew wildly, and the quality was mixed, and the routines were in their infancy.

Some agencies rely on deceiving newcomers and run away after collecting the money; some agencies take high commissions but are reluctant to provide live broadcast venues to the anchors.

Many small companies cast a wide net to sign internet celebrities under the banner of "resource support", without investing any real money, and locking them in with high liquidated damages.

What’s even worse is that some bad institutions make a living by terminating contracts.

They deliberately set traps in the contract, set sky-high liquidated damages, wait for the internet celebrities to breach the contract, and then collect the money.

This is the case with the MCN agency that Du Jianuo signed with.

She worked at the company for two or three months, earning more than 9000 yuan, but after taking the commission, she only received a salary of 2300 yuan.

After the show was suspended, the company deducted her other income and demanded compensation at 30 times her turnover.

That is 27.

"If someone asks you to pay for breach of contract, do you have to pay for borrowing online?"

"But the company said if they don't pay, I can either sue or go to arbitration."

Du Jianuo was an art student and knew almost nothing about law.

When I heard that the company was going to sue me, I immediately lost all confidence and wanted to pay the full amount of liquidated damages the next day.

"Okay, listen to me, your solution is relatively simple."

Zhou Mingyuan took a sip of the tea in front of him and listed his views clearly.

"On the one hand, pay off your online loans first. Can you afford the interest? Don't just jump into a pit because you stepped on one foot."

"On the other hand, go collect evidence. I'll help you list the unreasonable points in the contract. Go back and sort them out according to my ideas."

"I've come across many cases like yours. Judging from the content of the contract, the anchor doesn't have any advantages. Conservatively speaking, 90% of the time he'll have to pay compensation."

"So we have to find a way out to help you avoid or reduce your losses."

"."

Du Jianuo bit his lip and remained silent.

"Besides you, have other anchors in your company had similar disputes over liquidated damages?"

"There are some too."

"Go ahead and contact these people and compile some evidence to prove that the company is making claims on an assembly line and that it was intentional."

Zhou Mingyuan tapped his fingers and said.

This company has no intention of making money from live streaming in a stable manner, but only wants to collect the sky-high penalty for breach of contract from the anchor.

"Has the company invested in you?" After such a long time since his rebirth, this was the first time Zhou Mingyuan received a serious consultation online.

He sat with his back straight, his eyes bright, and his voice crisp and clear.

“What counts as investment?”

The girl asked in confusion.

"Venue, streaming, operation staff, anchor makeup, costumes and props, etc., the company's dedicated people will help you arrange it."

"That's not the case."

Du Jianuo shook his head.

Live streaming is actually an industry that requires heavy investment.

Formal companies often provide live broadcast venues. In addition to streaming and operation personnel, the live broadcast room also has professional supporting lighting, sound cards, dedicated computers for live broadcasts, etc.

"Go back and prepare the evidence. This is a typical corporate breach of contract."

Zhou Mingyuan spread out his hands and pushed the contract back on the table.

"27. Can I not pay the compensation?"

Du Jianuo tilted her head, her falling hair brushed across her collarbone, and her sparkling eyes looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

"Compensation for nothing!"

"The jurisdiction lies with the Redwood District Court, right? Let them go through the legal process."

"Come back to me when you receive the subpoena, and I'll help you fight the lawsuit."

"I won't guarantee a win, but as long as the liquidated damages exceed 10,000, I won't charge you a penny for the consultation fee."

Zhou Mingyuan spoke rapidly, his tone full of confidence.

In fact, with the development of the times, judges' cognition is also constantly changing.

The anchor cannot profit from breach of contract, otherwise it will lead to the prevalence of breach of contract in society, but the company cannot take advantage of absolutely favorable contract terms to obtain too much benefit.

What's more, intern Xiao Zhou has been in the Redwood District Court for such a long time, so he is very confident.

Can you still be bullied by your black-hearted MCN company in this small piece of land?

"Really?"

Du Jianuo looked over with her big, watery eyes, and her light cherry-colored lips formed a curve of joy.

"Paid consultation, you can rest assured."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and waved his hand.

"If you have any questions, feel free to WeChat me."

"Okay, thank you~"

Du Jianuo stood up and walked towards the lobby with Zhou Mingyuan.

She wore beige pointed nude boots under her skirt, and the heels of her shoes made a clicking sound as they tapped against the marble floor of the hotel.

“Are you a good-looking anchor on the platform?”

While politely seeing the guest off, Zhou Mingyuan casually exchanged pleasantries.

"no no."

The girl raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears and shook her head.

“I’m a dance anchor.”

"major."

Zhou Mingyuan gave a thumbs up.

"Next time you sign a contract, you can ask me to review it. At least you won't be ripped off."

"I'm not signing! I don't want to be an internet celebrity. I should just study hard first."

Du Jianuo chuckled and waved his hands hurriedly.

"You haven't graduated yet. No wonder, you're a dancer?"

"Yes, a dancer."
