Zhao Tiantian seemed to be gloating, but she just told Jiang He about it like a gossip.

It made no mention of her involvement in this matter.

She also played a significant role in persuading the company to abandon Jiang Yuxi.

At first, Zhao Tiantian didn't understand why so many people wanted to cooperate with Jiang He, but Jiang He refused them all, yet she agreed to cooperate with her.

After learning about Chen Feng's situation, Zhao Tiantian understood.

Jiang He dislikes the Jiang family so much that he'd rather help their rivals and bring them misfortune upon them.

At that time, Chen Feng was competing against Jiang Bai.

She and Jiang Yuxi are vying for the position of the company's top female employee.

They're both adults, and Zhao Tiantian wouldn't think anything of Jiang He just because Jiang He didn't value her and simply wanted to help her.

In her opinion, regardless of Jiang He's reasons, she had indeed benefited greatly, and that was enough.

Without Jiang He, she wouldn't have been able to stand here so quickly, and she wouldn't have been able to get a better contract with top female lead benefits than the company initially planned in such a short time.

If you receive a favor from someone, you should naturally repay it.

Therefore, in the case of Jiang Yuxi, she directly intervened and facilitated the company's decision to abandon her.

"Really? That's truly—heartening."

Jiang He made no attempt to hide his schadenfreude.

Is there anything more enjoyable than seeing your enemy suffer?

Jiang He felt pleasant, refreshed, and especially happy after the meal.

Jiang He felt refreshed, while Jiang Yuxi was almost furious.

She stared incredulously at the work schedule for the following week that Brother Wang had handed her, and said angrily,

"Brother Wang, is this how you're retaliating against me just because you advised me not to challenge Jiang He last time, and I didn't listen to you?"

"Yes, my popularity has declined and my fame has decreased, but no matter what, I am still a pop diva."

"How could you arrange for me to do commercial performances? Especially in this remote, impoverished, third-rate area? A semi-rural area?"

"Even this wedding performance, for just one million, they bought me to sing my signature song, Arctic, at a wedding?"

"You can't insult people like that! You've gone too far!"

Jiang Yuxi's eyes turned red with anger.

These days, she feels that she has been humble enough and subservient enough at the company, and that she has shown enough sincerity.

I also sincerely invited Brother Wang to dinner and apologized to him.

Unexpectedly, the company neither allocated her any resources nor sought public relations assistance to address the online public opinion surrounding her.

Not only did Brother Wang not help her fight for it, but he also humiliated her by arranging for her to do commercial performances.

That's so humiliating!

Brother Wang has been with Jiang Yuxi for so many years and knows her temperament very well.

He knew perfectly well that she resented him, feeling that he was demeaning and humiliating her.

I was initially a little reluctant, after all, we've been partners for so many years.

There are feelings involved.

But now it seems that he was just being presumptuous, which makes sense.

When Jiang He had mental problems back then, didn't he try to please Jiang Yuxi?

But did Jiang Yuxi remember even a fraction of his kindness?

Not only did they not treat him well, they also showed him disdain and verbal abuse.

If she can treat her own family like this, then it's even less likely that she'll be sincere with him, her agent who's not even related to her.

After thinking it through, Brother Wang no longer felt guilty and coldly told Jiang Yuxi.

These jobs were all assigned to her by the company.

If she doesn't go, she won't have any job opportunities before her contract expires.

Moreover, when terminating the contract, the company will also make her pay huge sums of liquidated damages on the grounds that she did not cooperate with the work and that her negative image caused huge losses to the company.

Only after the compensation is paid will the contract be officially terminated.

Jiang Yuxi was completely devastated.

She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the company's unspoken meaning.

This means they're planning to give up on her, which is why they're desperately trying to get her all sorts of jobs she'll take as long as she's paid, before her contract expires.

Fortunately, before terminating the contract, they squeezed out as much of her value as possible.

If she doesn't do it, then she'll drag her feet and refuse to terminate the contract. Either she'll be kept on the sidelines forever, or she'll have to pay a huge sum of money and leave.

Regardless, the company makes a profit.

Jiang Yuxi angrily accused the company of being heartless and ruthless, and accused Brother Wang of being cold-hearted and cruel. She said that the company was exploiting her, and he not only did not help her, but also acted as an accomplice of the company.

However, Brother Wang retorted, accusing him of being selfish, willful, and reckless.

He told her that he had already reported to the company and that he would start training the new employees next month after finishing his current work.

He is no longer Jiang Yuxi's manager.

Jiang Yuxi completely lost her temper, and the two parted on bad terms.

She might as well just give up. Since the company is planning to sideline her, why should she work?

It's just paying a penalty for breach of contract.

She can afford to pay that money.

She would rather lose money than lower her self-respect and perform commercially.

She can't bear the shame!

Thinking this, Jiang Yuxi picked up her bag, turned around and left.

at the same time.

Newcomer Studio.

Lu Nian stood at the entrance of the studio building, pacing back and forth many times.

He looked like he wanted to go in but was too afraid to.

His expression shifted between arrogance and gritted teeth.

He successfully attracted the attention of the security guards. Fearing he might cause trouble, they stepped forward to stop him and politely asked him what he was doing there. If he had nothing else to do, they asked him to leave.

The security guard felt that he had been very polite in his words.

He had been observing Lu Nian for a long time, and he immediately noticed that Lu Nian was suspicious. What if he was some kind of anti-fan or a perverted sasaeng fan?

Lu Nian felt humiliated.
