Chapter 96
That day, before leaving the CEO’s office, I was ultimately persuaded to sign something called an “appendix contract.”
What was it about? Apparently, it stipulated that a fixed percentage of the donations I received while streaming would be split and settled accordingly.
The problem was that this income couldn’t be combined with my salary, meaning it had to be reported separately when filing comprehensive income tax in May or something like that.
Just hearing about it gave me a headache, so I refused outright, but then the accounting director suddenly appeared and said something that left me no choice but to accept.
What was it again?
Something about how excessive bonus payments would make the payroll expenses stick out too much, so they needed to adjust the financial statement categories, blah blah blah.
He also assured me they’d help with the tax filing, and since it all sounded like some alien language I didn’t understand, I had no choice but to agree.
But there was one thing that bothered me—the profit distribution ratio.
Article 7 [Revenue Distribution and Settlement]
(1) "Party A" shall pay "Party B" 60% of the special earnings defined in Article 6, Clause 8 ("Party B’s Special Distribution").
According to the CEO, the standard for first-generation members was actually 70%, but since I had stubbornly refused to take my share, they had only given me 20% as a bonus.
Apparently, a 60:40 split was the industry standard.
