Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Chapter 394 Termination of Contract

"Crack!"

Gu Cheng curled his lips slightly, and the next moment he took off the optical headband and threw it on the table. He raised his hand to loosen his tie, and walked straight towards the bathroom with slow steps.

These days, he is paying attention to the plot progress of the alien world while contacting various investors and brands, and can only sleep an average of three hours a day.

Relying on his strong mental power, his spirit recovered very quickly, but his physical fatigue was far from being recovered in a few hours.

Now that his career is on the right track, Gu Cheng can also take a good rest.

In the huge round bathtub, Gu Cheng leaned on the edge, the water line spread on his chest, and the gurgling warm water was continuously fed in to maintain the temperature in the bathtub.

Heat steamed up, soaking him all over.

Gu Cheng raised his hand to wipe the mist from his face, turned his head to pick up the red wine on the wine table, and took a sip.

The sound of pattering water filled his eardrums, and the alcohol gradually spread onto his cheeks. Gu Cheng's brain was finally able to relax for a moment.

At this moment, even time seemed to slow down.

However, when long-term high-intensity thoughts suddenly stop, your thinking will easily go off track.

For example, now, Gu Cheng couldn't help but recall the trip he and James agreed on.

Diving, adventure, sunset, the original agreement really meant that Gu Cheng had thought of all the most romantic date spots that he could think of.

But in the end, the date turned out to be someone else.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but close his eyes again and took a big gulp of wine.

pat!

The wine glass hit the wine table hard, and in the next moment Gu Cheng suddenly dived down, sinking directly into the water and snorkeling in the bathtub.

The strong and powerful arms moved up and down, and ripples appeared on the water.

Underwater, he swam smoothly and powerfully, and every stroke seemed to be dancing with the water.

He didn't utter any unwilling curse words, but the fierce splash showed his inner unrest.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Cheng stepped into the bedroom with bare feet and habitually turned on the optical computer to check the messages. However, he was shocked to see three missed communications from Gu Pan and a tentative message.

Mom: [Chengcheng, you and James... broke up? 】

Gu Cheng: [Where did you know that? 】

Gu Pan: [Moments. 】

Seeing this, Gu Cheng opened his circle of friends again and found that James was still not found, which proved that he was still on James' blacklist.

Gu Cheng murmured: "Am I the only one who has not been released..."

Mom: [Is your breakup a peaceful breakup? 】

Gu Cheng thought for a while and replied: [We broke up peacefully without any bad entanglements. 】

The break was clean and tidy, and even the evidence of their passionate love was completely destroyed.

As if to block any possibility of turning back.

When Gu Cheng found out this, he sat in front of the terminal and was stunned for a long time.

He thought, he didn't do anything heinous, so why was James so decisive in breaking up.

Now that I think about it, love breeds hatred, and hatred breeds fear.

Perhaps they know that both parties have regrets in this relationship, but it is difficult to reconcile them, so they are unwilling to face them.

Mom: [Oh, you and James are actually quite compatible with each other. If you are still and move, at least you won't be bored when you get along. 】

Mom: [But now that it’s over, you have to relax and don’t be impulsive. Love is just a supplement to life, not everything in life. If you lose love, at least you still have a career, so don’t be discouraged. Mom will accompany you. Going forward. 】

Gu Cheng: [Well, don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid. 】

After finishing the chat, Gu Cheng leaned on the bedside to finish his work emails. The day's schedule finally came to an end.

Before falling asleep, Gu Cheng was still thinking that when the next day came, he would never stand still for this relationship again.

*

However, the next day he was once again involved in a turmoil caused by his relationship.

"What? Cancel cooperation!"

Gu Cheng stood up and stared at the newly recruited assistant who had only been hired for a few months and asked: "Which brands are they and why?"

"Both of the two top luxury jewelry brands requested cancellation. Except for Youdu Real Estate, the other two companies also suddenly sent messages of termination of the contract. There were also companies that made some clothing, bags, and even painted products that were unwilling to continue the contract. Because……"

Speaking of the assistant suddenly becoming hesitant, Gu Cheng solemnly said: "Speak directly."

The assistant lowered his head suddenly and whispered: "The rumor over there is that the Lawrence family has withdrawn its shares, which caused a crisis of trust in the brand, so they..."

The assistant didn't say anything more, but Gu Cheng suddenly fell back on the chair, sighed and waved his hand: "I understand, you can get off."

The assistant felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly exited the holographic office.

Gu Cheng frowned, feeling that he had made a mistake.

Perhaps it was because this period of time was so smooth that he forgot the true appearance of the group of people at the top.

That is not willing to take any risks, but extremely greedy.

"They knew that I would not offend them too harshly, so they dared to terminate the contract so unscrupulously."

Gu Cheng lowered his head to look at the specific terms again, with an expression that was true, and mocked: "I don't even plan to pay the termination fee..."

At this moment, the arrogance of the top luxury brands is fully displayed.

Gu Cheng stared at the terms of the contract and sneered: "But this time, I will not fulfill your wishes."

In his last life, he was assassinated by the nobles behind these extravagances every day. Since he couldn't kill them for the time being, he endured it. But in this life, he didn't care about anything in their hands.

So, he tapped the terminal a few times with his fingers, and a list of brands with potential but lack of opportunities suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Cheng glanced at several top luxury brands with satisfaction and raised a meaningful smile.

When he was in the afternoon, reply messages from Magic Games appeared in the mailboxes of the heads of several top luxury brands.

The message expressed deep regret for the inability to cooperate this time, and then clearly refused to sign the overlord contract, and thoughtfully attached a legal and reasonable termination letter.

When the person in charge of the brand saw it, he was furious.

"Does he want to completely cut off the opportunity to cooperate with us?"

After getting angry, the person in charge sneered as if he suddenly understood: "No wonder the Lawrence family wants to withdraw its shares. This kind of company that doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth deserves to go bankrupt!"

The manager in charge quickly echoed: "You are absolutely right. With this cooperative attitude and no capital to back it up, the Magic Game will not last long."

The name of His Highness's classmate can indeed support part of it, but after all, there is no clear platform, and Gu Cheng's position is not high, so their tolerance for Gu Cheng has dropped by another level.

The person in charge was even thinking that maybe this was the news that Gu Cheng made specially for the promotion of the game, and that the host of the Battle.net platform was also bribed by him.

Because of the good publicity effect on the Battle.net platform, His Highness's legal team did not pursue Gu Cheng's responsibility.

In short, in the eyes of the person in charge, Gu Cheng's behavior was just to cover up the impact of capital withdrawal, so it made bigger news.

Therefore, they feel that the decision to terminate the contract is absolutely right!
