"Why am I laughing?" Song Leilei patted her cheeks with both hands, squeezing her cheeks, staring at herself in the mirror and asking, "What's wrong with me? This is so abnormal. I shouldn't have yelled back at him and called him cute."
She put on a face mask, flopped onto the bed, stared at the ceiling, her mind filled with the scenes from the movie theater that day, and the feeling of her heart pounding—all vividly remembered.
Even though she didn't touch him, why was her heart pounding like that?
Song Leilei closed her eyes briefly, then received a new message.
It was sent by Gao Wei.
Gao Wei: "Okay, then we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Gao Wei asked Song Leilei to discuss terminating her contract.
In fact, Song Leilei has already entrusted a lawyer from Zheng Lin Law Firm to handle this matter.
Song Leilei: "Just say what you have to say here."
Gao Wei: "Even if it's just a farewell dinner, you should at least show up. But I'm surprised you can really come up with 50 million in breach of contract fees?"
Song Leilei: "I can give it to you. You don't need to worry about it, you won't be shortchanged."
After thinking about it, she took a screenshot and sent it to the lawyer she had hired.
She took off the face mask, threw it in the trash can, and then applied some serum.
Just then, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw two messages from different people, instructing a lawyer to contact Zheng Lin.
The lawyer said, "Ms. Song, my boss wants to handle your situation personally after learning about it. He will contact you soon."
Zheng Lin: "I've heard about your situation. You don't have to pay the breach of contract penalty. I can be your lawyer and help you avoid paying the penalty, so Gao Wei won't get a single penny."
Upon seeing the last line of text, Song Leilei's jaw dropped in astonishment.
If someone else said something like that, she would think they were exaggerating.
But this man is Young Master Zheng. He is an outstanding leader in managing a group, and he is also a fearsome figure in the legal profession.
She was excited for a moment, then she thought about how tense the relationship between Zheng Shao and Xiao Jin was right now. At this critical juncture, if Zheng Lin became her lawyer, would Xiao Jin feel that she had betrayed her?
Thinking this through, Song Leilei quickly called Su Jin and told her everything.
Su Jin: "If he can help you, then accept it. Don't worry about me. Besides, if Zheng Lin can help you without suddenly getting the 50 million yuan penalty, I'd really like to see Gao Wei's expression. I wonder if he'll faint from anger."
At this point, a silvery laugh came from the phone.
Song Leilei laughed along, "Hahaha. If you say that, I think Gao Wei will be furious, and might even cry in court."
Su Jin: "Crying is out of the question. She's such a proud person, she'll definitely smear you online behind your back, so you need to be careful. She might have some things about you, and spreading rumors is just a matter of words. You've already broken ties with her, and the breach of contract fee will be waived. She'll definitely go crazy and try to bite you everywhere."
"Okay, I'll be careful." Song Leilei added, "Then I'll still go see her tomorrow."
Su Jin: "I'll go with you."
......
The restaurant for the farewell dinner was booked by Gao Wei.
It was supposed to be a farewell dinner, but nobody really came to eat, so when they arrived, nobody was in a hurry to order.
Gao Wei smiled as she looked at Song Leilei, then glanced at Su Jin.
"I didn't realize you guys were such good friends. You even brought each other along for a farewell dinner," Gao Wei said with a sneer.
Gao Wei had always thought that Song Leilei and Su Ling were just nodding acquaintances, but she didn't expect them to have such a deep relationship.
She despised this kind of sisterly affection drama the most. She had been betrayed by her sisters before. No matter how much she trusted them, she was stabbed in the back by her best friend.
From then on, she stopped trusting any friends and stopped treating those she called friends as true friends.
Even Bai Qingchi, whom she had personally mentored, was never treated with genuine kindness by her.
It's all just a business relationship; getting money from them is far more important than gaining their affection. In this day and age, only a fool would talk about feelings, though she's been foolish enough to be one herself.
“Our relationship has always been good. Not to mention a farewell dinner, I’ll be at any meaningful dinner party if Lei Lei is there.” Su Jin retorted sarcastically, “We didn’t know you would come alone, Sister Gao Wei. We thought we would see your friends.”
She immediately hit Gao Wei's sore spot. Before coming, Su Jin had also asked Assistant Wang to conduct an investigation, and she knew clearly about Gao Wei's past.
Gao Wei is someone who is jealous of other people's friendships.
This kind of jealousy is quite peculiar, since most people are jealous of others' wealth, love, or friendship; it's not common to see such jealousy.
Gao Wei's face visibly turned ugly. She picked up her water glass and took a sip, clutching it tightly in her hand, her fingertips gripping the glass as if it were about to be crushed.
She was furious.
“Su Ling, I really wanted to sign you back then,” Gao Wei said. “I still don’t understand why you wouldn’t sign me. You still don’t have an agency contract.”
"No comment." Su Jin became proud. "But the conditions you offered were so harsh. If Lei Lei hadn't been fooled by you, she wouldn't have signed with you. It's better not to sign at all than to sign with you. She would be doing better than she is now without you."
"Heh." Gao Wei suddenly sat up straight and lightly tapped the table. "She'll be devastated if she leaves me. Song Leilei won't be able to stand up either without me."
Su Jin retorted directly, "The resources you provide are so bad, even a god couldn't stand up."
“I’ve managed so many artists, I can tell at a glance whether someone has the potential to become famous.” Gao Wei deliberately glanced at Song Leilei. “But, Leilei, you’re not the kind of person who’s destined to become famous. Good resources should naturally be given to good artists first.”
"So you weren't Leilei's mentor at all. When you first wanted to sign her, you already labeled her as someone who wouldn't become famous, and you had a prejudice against her."
Su Jin tilted her head slightly. "With your skills, you shouldn't be an agent. You should go to a department store and put labels on products. That job is more suitable for you."
This analogy made Song Leilei chuckle to herself.
Gao Wei gritted his teeth silently, "Su Ling, today is my farewell dinner with Song Leilei. You're just here to freeload, and you're talking way too much."
Su Jin shrugged, looking indifferent. "I'm listening to you tell Lei Lei."
After saying that, she picked up the menu and looked at it, then stopped talking.
Anyway, Gao Wei is already full of anger.
She felt happy to see these bad people angry.
After Su Jin's actions, Gao Wei was momentarily at a loss as to where to regain her composure. She had come to teach Song Leilei a lesson, not to provoke her!
Gao Wei opened his mouth, his mind went blank, and he angrily touched his bangs.
I have absolutely no idea what to say.
Seeing her like this, Song Leilei and Su Jin exchanged a glance and smiled silently.
After a while, Gao Wei sorted out her thoughts and said, "You still have a few variety shows. Now that you've terminated your contract, you don't need to go on those shows anymore. But I'd like to know, without my resources, what are your plans next? You're not just going to slack off like this, are you?"
