Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

26. 10 Billion Dollars

Chu Gushen arrived soon after.

Just like the last time she saw him, he was wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses that made him look refined and serious.

"Mr. Huo."

He first exchanged greetings with Huo Xunzhou before looking at the others.

When his eyes fell on Lin Shanchu, he paused momentarily. "Ms. Lin."

Lin Shanchu briefly explained the purpose of inviting him. "Please help me draft a contract, Lawyer Chu."

Chu Gushen sat down and asked, "Miss Lin, please tell me the requirements of the contract."

"I only have three requirements."

Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu. "I won't take up a slot on the debuting team, but I must remain with the production till the day when the idol group is formed. Most importantly, I can't withdraw from the competition halfway. If I do, I'll have to pay a massive amount of penalty fees."

"Huh?" Nan Mu, who thought he was very experienced in handling things, was also stunned.

He thought that she had asked Chu Gushen for an exorbitant appearance fee.

He had lived for a long time and had never seen an artist draft a contract with terms that were all beneficial to the production crew.

It would be great if such a selfless celebrity could sign a contract with Tian Zhou Media.

Chu Gushen was a very professional lawyer.

He noted down Lin Shanchu's requirements and asked with a normal expression, "How much is the penalty?"

Lin Shanchu extended a finger.

"A million?" Nan Mu guessed.

Lin Shanchu shook her head and said very seriously, "10 billion dollars."

Bam!

Nan Mu was so shocked that the elbow on his knee slipped, causing him to hit the coffee table with a loud bam.

The other people present all revealed shocked expressions.

Chu Gushen couldn't make up his mind. He turned his head and asked Huo Xunzhou for his opinion with a look.

Huo Xunzhou's arm was resting on the armrest of his wheelchair. His slender index finger tapped on the armrest at an irregular rhythm. He said in a lazy tone, "10 billion dollars it is, then."

He sounded like he was talking about something as trivial as eating and drinking.

"No way! 10 billion is too much!" Nan Mu voiced his disagreement. "This contract can be voided!"

"That's why I'll have to trouble Lawyer Chu," Lin Shanchu said calmly.

After Chu Gushen nodded, he started to draft the contract.

Nan Mu finally realized that Lin Shanchu had wanted to draft this unreasonable contract from the start, hence the reason to invite Chu Gushen.

The more powerful a lawyer was, the more he would exploit loopholes in the law.

Only Chu Gushen could draft an unreasonable contract and make it legally binding.

Soon, the contract was drawn up and both parties signed it.

Nan Mu still looked like he didn't know what was going on.

Lin Shanchu held the contract and smiled with satisfaction.

"Lawyer Chu, let me walk you to the door." She wanted to talk to Chu Gushen about the follow-up matters of the will.

As soon as they left, Nan Mu went to Huo Xunzhou's side.
