"Hey, isn't this our Taozi? How's it going? Have you been resting well? You haven't been to the company for a while, and everyone misses you. A while ago, you said the company drinks weren't tasty, so I had someone prepare a new one according to your taste!"

Dai Shutao looked at the man in front of her coldly, and he was looking at her with a smile on his face. If she didn't know how Lai Youtong in front of her had taken advantage of her original body in the book, and how he used her fame to quickly divide up the resources that originally belonged to her to other artists, she would probably have really thought that he was a good boss who loved his artists.

Dai Shutao kept her distance from Lai Youtong calmly, her smile still sweet, but her eyes showed obvious indifference, as if she did not take this meeting seriously at all.

"Boss, you're too polite. The company's decision to switch to a better-tasting beverage is a benefit for other hardworking employees. It has nothing to do with me."

Dai Shutao pretended to be innocent and shrugged his shoulders at Lai Youtong. He glanced at Sister Chen, knowing that she must be blamed by Lai Youtong for her own affairs. He sighed in his heart, sat on the other side and knocked on the table.

"Didn't you say you had something to tell me? I'm already here, let's talk."

Lai Youtong was somewhat surprised and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses again after being reminded by another senior executive coughing.

After a couple of "ahs," Lai Youtong stammered, "I came to you for no other reason than to ask, Taozi, when are you planning to renew your contract?"

Hearing the other party's righteous tone, Dai Shutao said "Oh" and signaled the other party to continue.

During this meeting, Lai Youtong suddenly felt that Dai Shutao gave him a strong sense of oppression, and he suddenly didn't dare to look directly into Dai Shutao's eyes. The words he had originally thought of in his mind, he couldn't say a single word now.

"I know that the company wasn't very careful in how it treated you before. I've already told the people in the publicity department."

Lai Youtong coughed twice. After all, he was in this line of work and had to be thick-skinned. He put the blame on the Propaganda Department in a few words.

"I told them to deal with your matter immediately, but they were so busy that they forgot about it. Don't worry, I have already fired those irresponsible employees, and this will never happen again!"

Dai Shutao was both amused and confused when she heard this. She crossed her arms and looked down upon Lai Youtong.

Due to Dai Shutao's powerful aura, the other executives around him lowered their heads and pretended to be busy with their work, not daring to look Dai Shutao in the eye.

Only Sister Chen, who had been standing aside, stared at Dai Shutao intently the whole time.

Something was wrong. Dai Shutao didn't lose her temper after coming in. When she saw Lai Youtong, she didn't even pour the glass of cold water on him.

You know, the glass of cold water on the table was specially prepared for Dai Shutao, so that she could use it when she lost her temper.

Dai Shutao has changed a lot after experiencing this cyber attack, but the calmer she becomes, the harder it is to control her.

For the first time, Sister Chen suddenly felt an indescribable uneasiness towards Dai Shutao, as if something she had been holding tightly in her hand had suddenly disappeared.

"The company wants me to renew my contract, right?"

Dai Shutao spoke slowly, took out the contract that Sister Chen had given her in the morning from her bag, opened it under everyone's expectant gaze, and smiled coldly.

"That's perfect, let's settle our previous accounts."

Amidst everyone's stiff smiles, Dai Shutao spoke calmly, "In 2017, I received a 20% commission from the endorsement of a certain jewelry brand, which also included the taxes I paid on behalf of the company."

"In March 2018, you took on WeChat business products without my knowledge, causing massive dehydration among my fans, and you offered no remedy."

"In June 2018, you knew full well that a film I filmed was suspected of plagiarism, yet as my agency you failed to warn me and turned a blind eye the entire time."

"July 2018..."

List by list, Dai Shutao calmly recounted how the company had exploited the original body over the years, and how it had repeatedly violated the contract while pretending to obey.

Dai Shutao herself was also surprised. When she accidentally saw these evidences in the study, she was sure that the original owner had long wanted to terminate the contract, so he had been keeping the evidence privately, but in the end it only made things convenient for himself.

As Dai Shutao spoke, Lai Youtong's face became more and more ugly, but he didn't dare to say a word of no.

Because all of this was true; they were indeed constantly draining Dai Shutao's popularity and attention so that she could bring in other newcomers. The facts were one thing, but when she spoke them directly, it was another.

"Taozi," Lai Youtong suddenly spoke, interrupting Dai Shutao. "The company had no experience before, so we didn't do many things well."

The middle-aged man with a bulging belly raised his head to Dai Shutao hopefully, "So we invited you here this time to discuss a new contract with you. Don't worry, we will discuss the contents of this contract together, and you will definitely be satisfied!"

Dai Shutao had a cold face. She would be stupid to hear such words. Who knows if they will become even worse after the contract renewal.

"Mr. Lai."

Dai Shutao's voice was pleasant, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Let's part ways amicably. I've been very grateful for your care in the past. There's no point in making everything clear. A smooth termination of the contract will be good for both of us."

Maybe Dai Shutao's rejection was too straightforward. Lai Youtong was in a daze for a long time. Then he saw the girl approaching him, leaning over to his ear in an intimate posture, and the air from her mouth never passed over her body.

But what Dai Shutao said made him shudder.

"Boss Lai, last year, the young artist we signed with our company accidentally fell from a building. I happen to have some inside information about this matter. How about I talk to the media about it?"

The girl's sweet and cheerful voice seemed to open a door to her memory, and it brought Lai Youtong back to his senses. He looked at Dai Shutao with horror in his eyes.

Last year, he wanted to take advantage of a newly signed artist, but was rejected. In anger, the two had an argument, which led to the young artist jumping off the building in anger.

Although nothing unexpected happened later and he silenced her with money, if this kind of scandal becomes popular, it will definitely affect the company's reputation in the end.

Lai Youtong never thought that one day these things would be brought up again, and the person who brought them up would be Dai Shutao again!

Dai Shutao still looked at Lai Youtong with an innocent face, like a pure girl who was ignorant of the world, but the words she said grabbed Lai Youtong's vital point.

"Before the contract expires, I will cooperate with all the company's variety show activities. As long as it's not excessive, I can accept it."

Dai Shutao picked up her backpack briskly and waved to everyone present with a smile in her eyes.

"If nothing unexpected happens, see you all in the arena!"

"etc!"
