Chapter 27
Edited
What Ye Zhi didn’t know was that shortly after she entered the agency building, another car also arrived and parked downstairs. It was a Maybach 7-seater business car. The senior executive of the Gu family’s company brought along several high profile lawyers and also several bodyguards with him.
Ye Zhi was a little nervous but her resolve was very firm. Finally, Ye Zhi went to the door of Sister Zhu’s office and knocked. Sister Zhu said, “Come in.”
Sister Zhu saw Ye Zhi coming and frowned, “You have nothing scheduled for today. What are you doing here? Go home now. “
After Sister Zhu finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to do her work. She didn’t pay any attention nor weight to the matter that Ye Zhi raised in the previous conversation.
Ye Zhi sat down slowly and said, “I can’t come here without an appointment or having scheduled ?”
After Sister Zhu heard those words, she looked up at Ye Zhi. Suddenly she remembered their talk about the cancellation of Ye Zhi’s contract. At that time, Ye Zhi’s attitude was also very tough.
Ye Zhi looked at Sister Zhu. Her voice was extremely cold and she went directly to the subject, “I want to cancel the contract and I don’t want to be controlled by you anymore.”
When Ye Zhi’s words fell into Sister Zhu’s ears, she sneered.
Sister Zhu looked at Ye Zhi for a while and said sarcastically, “Let me remind you, do you know how much liquidated damages you will pay if you want to terminate the contract?”
Ye Zhi’s tone was calm, “Of course I know, ten million.”
Sister Zhu coldly mocked, “Since you know, you should also know that even if you sell yourself, you won’t be able to take out 10 million!”
Sister Zhu continued her tirade in a sinister tone, “If you can’t get the money, I can show you a way. There are a few bosses who really want to see you. You can go to a few dinners and maybe you can make good money. “
“Ye Zhi! Since I can promote you to the top, I can also let you hit rock bottom!”
Ye Zhi had never participated in ‘dinners’ since she started her career and her team was only responsible for leeching off Gu Ren’s popularity to create hype. She couldn’t stand the false noble pretenses and virtuous facades that she’d have to deal with if she attended. (E.d note: The dinners had other intentions too)
Faced with the threat of Sister Zhu, Ye Zhi neither flinched nor frowned. Instead she stood up and spoke slowly and clearly.
“As soon as I debuted, you made me pester a top superstar in China. Even if I don’t want to, you let the staff take control of my social media accounts, publish fake posts on Weibo and make my reputation worse.”
Ye Zhi approached a few steps and said sarcastically, “Sister Zhu, this is how you promote me?”
Sister Zhu could not refute.
Ye Zhi went forward a few steps and said in an ice-cold voice, “If I don’t listen to you, I will not earn enough money. If you want me to accompany others to dinner and I disagree, you will suppress me.”
“Sister Zhu, is that’s what you mean by promoting me?”
Ye Zhi smiled but there was no hint of warmth in it, “Sister Zhu, did you forget? I have always been at the rock bottom.”
So she had nothing to worry about. Live in the present, don’t worry about the future.
Sister Zhu was bewildered. Where did the person who used to be submissive and give her full control go? How did Ye Zhi become so strong now?
Sister Zhu took a deep breath and said in a cruel voice, “You dare to talk terms with me now. If you want to terminate the contract, then take out the 10 million yuan.”
“How do you know I can’t take out this ten million?” Ye Zhi asked.
“What?” Sister Zhu was stunned beyond words.
