"Next time? It will be too late next time. Besides, we have already signed the contract. Do you think we can do it next time?" Liu Yu was thinking of an excuse but forgot that they had already signed the contract. If it was not carried out as scheduled, they would be faced with a sky-high penalty.

Liu Yu only discovered this after she signed the contract. If she had known about the penalty for breach of contract, she would not have agreed to it so easily.

"I think you should discuss this carefully. I will come to ask for the final response tomorrow morning. If the answer is still the same, I think you know what the consequences will be." There was almost no chance for anyone to catch their breath.

Liu Yu finally collapsed on the ground with her phone in her hand. Where could they get so much money all at once? But she also heard Jiang Mubai's reaction just now. This was basically a dead end.

Things were beginning to develop out of control, and Liu Yu thought quickly but none of the solutions worked.

In two brightly lit rooms, one was sitting on the floor in a melancholy manner, while the other was leisurely handling some trivial work and also taking some time to play games.

Jiang Mubai got up early and went to the shooting site. Unexpectedly, the director wanted her to ask Shang Luo for a leave even more than herself. Given the current situation, it would be better for her to have a good rest. Anyway, it was nothing serious and she could do it herself.

The director was very understanding and didn't say anything. His attitude was completely different from what it was like when Ren Xueer was with him before. She also witnessed what double standards are.

Liu Yu went out at the same time as usual and knocked on Jiang Mubai's door as usual, but only Shang Luo came to open the door. She was nowhere to be seen. Shang Luo, who could have continued to rest, was also woken up.

Shang Luo suddenly woke up after watching Liu Yu leave and close the door. She quickly found her cell phone and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. The sleepiness that had lingered just now disappeared in an instant. She immediately prepared to get dressed and go out, but she caught a glimpse of a note stuck on the headboard.

"I've asked for leave for you, so take a good rest today and wait for me to come back." Seeing the signature from Jiang Mubai, Shang Luo happily lay back on the bed. If she hadn't been woken up just now, she would have been able to continue sleeping. But now, after tossing and turning for several minutes, she couldn't get rid of the sleepiness she had just felt.

In the end, I just got up. Since I can rest today, I might as well rest thoroughly. I thought that Shang Luo had already taken out her mobile phone and started studying.

Liu Yu has not been with Jiang Mubai these days. Today, she was eating the hotel buffet in the restaurant with trepidation. For her, the longer she could delay, the better.

"Hello, Miss Liu. How are you?" Suddenly a voice appeared beside her. Liu Yu turned around and saw that it was the director of the variety show. She thought it was just a call back but she didn't expect that he would come in person.

"Director, why did you come here in person? Tell me, I'll ask about this matter later and won't bother you anymore." After saying that, Liu Yu sped up his pace and finally stopped eating.

The director saw that the two of them hadn't reached an agreement yet, otherwise there would have been a result when they first proposed to meet, and it wouldn't have dragged on for so long. After so many years in this industry, if she couldn't understand this little thing, she would really be unworthy of this position.

"I warn you that no matter how you negotiate, we have already signed the contract. If Teacher Jiang participates, everyone will be happy. If he does not participate, he will have to pay double the penalty. Think carefully."

Every word the director said made Liu Yu tremble with fear and she began to feel panic. What scared her the most was that what he said was true. If she did not participate, she would have to pay double the penalty. She could not even imagine the figure.

"Don't worry, I will communicate. I'll go now. You wait for my good news. Take this coffee. Thank you for your hard work today." Liu Yu followed the director and saw him off to the car. Then she eagerly handed him the coffee.

The fawning smile on her face never faded. She finally let out a sigh of relief after finally sending Director Liu Yu away. However, there were more important things waiting for her to deal with right now.

Seeing the car driving out, Liu Yu also stopped a car and went straight to the shooting site. She had little time left and she had to make this matter clear.

Liu Yu hurried to the dressing room. Jiang Mubai was almost done with his styling. When she looked at the person behind her in the mirror, everyone in the room was startled.

"You guys go out first." Jiang Mubai could guess what she was going to say, so he sent everyone in the room away and looked at himself in the mirror to check for any blemishes on his face.

Liu Yu took a deep breath and walked to Jiang Mubai's side. She had never seen such a posture before.

"Tell me what's going on. If it's about what happened last night, then there's no need to talk about it. There's no room for negotiation." Jiang Mubai still chose to give her a chance to speak, but he also made his position clear.

"Mu Bai, this won't hurt anything in the future because it's just a variety show. Besides, now is a good time to use your fame to participate in more shows to increase your recognition. Maybe you'll have better resources by then."

"Everyone has been through this, you have to slowly adapt to it too." Liu Yu still did not give up, trying to use various methods of coercion and inducement to make Jiang Mubai agree.

There was really no other way. Even if he had to persuade her with all his might, he would have to make her agree. But Jiang Mubai just stared at himself in the mirror without saying a word.

Liu Yu was a little discouraged, but this alone was not enough to make her give up. She kept observing the expression on Jiang Mubai's face, as if looking for a way to start talking.

"This variety show is so good that it's worth your effort to tell me about it. If I think it's possible, I will naturally participate. But no matter how much you say now, it will be useless. Do you understand?" Jiang Mubai also made his words clear.

Liu Yu felt anxious when she saw that everything she said was in vain. Jiang Mubai was never like this normally, and she didn't know what happened this time.

Feeling the cell phone vibrating wildly in his pocket, Liu Yu took it out and looked at it. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the door and pressed the answer button.

"Ms. Liu, are you doing well? If not, I can help you." Hearing the director's voice, Liu Yu couldn't help but tremble all over.

"It's going well, director. Don't worry, I promise to complete the task." Liu Yu almost bowed deeply into the phone, but she couldn't help it when she heard the busy tone.

Liu Yu pushed the door open and Jiang Mubai sat there without any surprise, waiting for her to speak again.

"You must go to this variety show. If you don't go, you can't afford to pay double the penalty." Liu Yu finally couldn't help but point out directly that this was the last chance.

She saw Jiang Mubai in the mirror chuckle, and Liu Yu turned her head away and stopped looking at her expression. She would accept any result, except the penalty for breach of contract, which she would never accept.
