With this contract termination, Zhang Meng not only intends to end his contractual relationship with Qi Ying, but also plans to let go of all the artists he has under his control.
He also had a male artist under his wing, but Zhang Meng planned to dismiss him as well, leaving Jingli to focus on training Jiang Yixing.
Zhang Meng felt guilty for not being able to accompany Jiang Yixing to her first offline event, though he didn't say it outright. He felt that even if he had gone with her, the paparazzi wouldn't have been able to spread rumors about Jiang Yixing even if they had captured the three of them entering and leaving the hotel together.
Although Jiang Yixing was prepared, the entertainment industry always requires vigilance. How can we ensure that Jiang Yixing is fully prepared at all times?
Jiang Yixing is gradually getting back on track, and I really should devote more energy to taking care of her.
The contract termination with this male artist went smoothly. The artist hadn't particularly liked Zhang Meng to begin with, and felt that Zhang Meng was partly to blame for his lack of success. This contract termination suited him perfectly; he could find better opportunities elsewhere, so why not?
But dealing with Qi Ying is much more troublesome.
Zhang Meng waited a few days to give Qi Ying a few days to rest.
Qi Ying had already been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home. When Zhang Meng knocked on the door, it was Qi Ying's parents who answered.
Qi Ying's parents knew Zhang Meng. Her father didn't have a good impression of Zhang Meng, believing that his daughter had chosen to cut her wrists because of him.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Ying's father asked curtly.
Zhang Meng handed over the fruit, adjusted his glasses, and said, "I want to talk to Qi Ying about some work-related matters."
"Work! Work again! Do you have no conscience?! Qi Ying almost died, and you still want to discuss work-related matters?"
Since she was an elder, Zhang Meng didn't lose his temper. He simply asked, "Can I speak with Qi Ying alone?"
Qi Ying's father was furious, but Qi Ying had already left the room. Even in this situation, she still wore full makeup, with bright lipstick covering her pale lips.
Seeing Zhang Meng, Qi Ying curled the corners of her lips, "I thought you had forgotten about me."
Zhang Meng felt uneasy listening to her words. Why was Qi Ying acting so strangely?
When Qi Ying's parents heard this, they both glared at Zhang Meng, as if he were the heartless man who had run off with their daughter.
Zhang Meng sighed, "I'd like to talk to you alone."
"Come in." Qi Ying glanced at Zhang Meng lightly, then turned and went back to her room.
Upon entering the room, Zhang Meng went straight to the point, saying, "I'm here to talk to you about terminating the contract."
Zhang Meng spread the contract out on the table.
Qi Ying's expression changed instantly, and her voice became sharp, "Terminate the contract?"
She picked up the contract in front of her, glanced at it, and then threw it into the air like a madwoman.
Zhang Meng frowned as he watched the papers fluttering in the air, and lowered his voice, "Qi Ying, can't you calm down?"
"Why are you terminating the contract? Are you abandoning me? Have you terminated your contract with Jiang Yixing?"
Zhang Meng looked at Qi Ying, unable to get a word in edgewise.
"You've been bewitched by Jiang Yixing, haven't you? Why did everything change the moment Jiang Yixing arrived?"
Zhang Meng couldn't understand what she was talking about at all. Since things had come to this point, he didn't want to say anything more. Right now, he just wanted to terminate the contract as soon as possible.
Zhang Meng gathered the scattered papers and placed them back on the table. "Qi Ying, I'm not joking with you. If you don't agree, we'll have to go to court. In short, I won't be taking you with me anymore."
Qi Ying suddenly moved closer to Zhang Meng, "Was it Jiang Yixing who instigated you?"
"Qi Ying!" Zhang Meng raised his voice, then realized his tone was too harsh. "Don't always be like this. I think you're not in the right mood right now, and you're not suited for work. You should rest more."
After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he turned and left. He had never intended for Qi Ying to agree, and whether she agreed or not, the matter was already settled.
As Zhang Meng reached the door, he was grabbed by Qi Ying, who rushed up from behind and seemed to want to hug him.
How could Zhang Meng, who wasn't injured, still be caught by Qi Ying? He dodged Qi Ying, causing her to miss her target.
Qi Ying was a little unsteady on her feet, her eyes revealing disbelief.
Qi Ying's parents rushed over to help her up, and Qi's mother also began to criticize Zhang Meng: "Zhang Meng, do you have no humanity? Do you have to make a scene like this when you come to talk about work? Qi Ying has liked you for so many years!"
Zhang Meng was startled; he knew absolutely nothing about this. He looked at Qi Ying, who did not deny it, her eyes filled with affection.
Zhang Meng felt no emotion, only a headache. He was not the type to mix personal feelings with work. Qi Ying's occasional wildness in the past was now explained, which made Zhang Meng even more convinced that it was impossible to continue working with Qi Ying.
"I have done my best for you in the past, and I hope we can part ways amicably."
Zhang Meng left after uttering only one sentence.
Qi Ying refused to let go. Everything had been fine all these years! But then Jiang Yixing came along! And everything changed!
Zhang Meng's attention was no longer focused on her, and he wasn't giving resources to Qi Ying first. He cared more about Jiang Yixing than about himself. Clearly, she was the one who met him first!
Qi Ying lunged at Zhang Meng, who was already standing outside the door. The stairwell was narrow, and there was no way to retreat.
Zhang Meng was suddenly pushed down by Qi Ying, his head slamming hard against the wall. He then felt dizzy and fell down a flight of stairs.
Seeing someone tumble down the stairs, Qi Ying's parents turned pale. Although they didn't like Zhang Meng, they didn't want to kill him!
Qi Ying's father rushed downstairs to help her up. Qi Ying's mother looked at her daughter in a panic and noticed a smile on her daughter's lips.
Qi's mother was suddenly shocked. Qi Ying's bright red lipstick, combined with her expression, made her look incredibly cold-blooded.
Zhang Meng fell a whole floor, making a loud thud, but when he landed, he felt something support his body.
In a world unseen by ordinary people, wild grass instantly covered the ground beneath Zhang Meng, and several crisscrossing branches steadily supported his body, preventing his head from hitting the ground.
Zhang Meng stood up, feeling dizzy and surprisingly not in much pain. He looked up at the building with disbelief in his eyes.
A whole floor?! What incredible luck!
Filled with lingering fear and relief, Zhang Meng decided not to stay there for another second. He grabbed his briefcase and turned to leave.
Damn it, Zhang Meng cursed inwardly. If he were with Qi Ying, he'd need several lives to survive!
Now no one dared to stop Zhang Meng. Qi Ying's parents were also terrified. Zhang Meng had fallen so badly, but luckily he wasn't injured. Otherwise, their family would have suffered huge losses.
Qi Ying's father glared at his daughter, "Don't you think about the consequences of your actions!"
Qi Ying ignored him and went back to her room with her alluring face.
Qi Ying's mother stood silently by, not daring to stop Qi Ying. Only after her father came upstairs did Qi Ying's mother whisper, "Yingying...she seems a little mentally unstable..."
