Chapter 131: Sneaky
I quickly explained, "It's the final exam at school. It's a very important exam. If I fail, it will affect my studies and graduation. I didn't mention it before because I thought I could arrange my time so that it wouldn't affect my work or studies. But now it seems that it may still be a little difficult."
Jiang Yichen looked at me, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
After a while, he slowly said, "Well, if that's the case, then go ahead and take the exam. But you have to remember that this is your last chance to ask for leave. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being rude."
I quickly nodded and agreed, secretly congratulating myself for reacting quickly enough this time and successfully finding a reason to ask for leave.
The problem with Jiang Yichen has only been solved temporarily, but what should I do about the other company?
I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. The 5 million yuan mountain pressing down on me made it difficult for me to breathe.
What’s more important is that I can’t hide it from Jiang Yichen for long.
I sat up suddenly and suddenly thought of someone - Qin Lei.
The next morning, I set out for Qin Lei's place with the contract in hand.
Qin Lei agreed to meet me at a cafe near the company, and I hurried to the cafe.
Qin Lei was seen sitting in a corner, leisurely flipping through the economic newspaper while savoring the mellow coffee.
I walked carefully to his side and called softly, "Qin Lei."
He raised his head, closed the newspaper gently, turned his eyes to me and asked, "Tell me, what's the urgent matter that made you call me here so early in the morning?"
I took a deep breath, mustered up my courage and said, "Qin Lei, can you help me take a look at this contract?"
As I said this, I carefully took out the contract signed with the media company and placed it in front of him.
Qin Lei looked at me with a slightly puzzled look. He took the contract and read it carefully.
When he turned to the signature page and saw my name written on it, he couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Don't you work for Jiang Yichen? Why did you sign a contract with this media company? Does Jiang Yichen know about it?"
I shook my head helplessly and said, "Qin Lei, none of this matters anymore. What I care most about now is whether I can find a way to terminate the contract with this media company."
"The contract can be terminated because there are many loopholes and unreasonable aspects in this contract. It can be said that this is an unfair contract."
"If we really take it to court, not only will the contract be invalidated, but we won't even have to worry about liquidated damages." Qin Lei crossed his legs, spread his hands, and explained to me in detail word by word.
Hearing this, I finally felt relieved, and the huge rock hanging in my heart fell to the ground.
However, when I think carefully about what happened yesterday, Xiaoyu's expression seems to reveal that she had foreseen my arrival, and deliberately set up difficulties, and even intentionally guided me to discuss the matter with HR.
It is not difficult to understand why the HR showed an unusual expression to me. Obviously someone had given him instructions in advance.
"Then, do you need my assistance in prosecuting the case?" Qin Lei asked with concern.
"Not yet."
I hesitated for a moment and continued, "I may need one more favor from you. Can you help me check the legal person information of this media company?"
"What? Do you have any doubts in your mind or other plans?" Qin Lei raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a casual but somewhat doubtful tone.
I was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, I said, "I can't be sure yet, but I always feel that they had already made plans for me when they recruited me."
Qin Lei gently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "After all, as Jiang Yichen's ex-wife and the eldest daughter of the Gu family, my identity undoubtedly gives them more calculations and purposes. Asking you for help is not impossible."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone from his chest pocket, quickly sent a text message, and then said calmly: "Wait a moment, there will be news soon."
My heart was filled with gratitude, and I quickly said, "I am really sorry to trouble you with this matter, Qin Lei. I am very grateful to you."
As I said this, I clasped my hands together and kept expressing my gratitude.
Qin Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, we have known each other for such a long time. Even if it's not for Jiang Yichen's sake, I will help you. Don't worry."
Sure enough, not long after the message was sent out, Qin Lei received feedback. He frowned, tapped the frame of his glasses with his fingertips, and said with a slightly serious expression: "The legal person of this media company is named Hong Yu, and he opened this company not long ago."
I thought to myself, well, that's just how it is, there's definitely something wrong with him.
I quickly asked Qin Lei, "Can you help me collect the relevant information first? I will contact you when I am ready to sue."
Qin Lei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
I was just about to say some more words of thanks when I caught a glimpse of the message from Xiaoyu's assistant on my phone screen, urging me to hurry back to the company.
I stood up hurriedly, bowed deeply to Qin Lei, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Qin Lei, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. I will go back to work first, and thank you properly when I have time."
Half an hour later, I rushed to the company panting, only to see Xiaoyu sitting there putting on makeup. She glanced at me and said something sarcastically.
"Some people, before they even become big internet celebrities, have already started to act like big shots and don't even report back to the company on time."
I just glanced at him coldly, ignored his provocation, and strode towards the HR office.
Seeing that I ignored him, Xiaoyu shouted, "Stop right there! Did I let you go?"
I ignored her and thought to myself: It doesn’t matter whether I am allowed to leave or not, I will be leaving this black-hearted company soon anyway.
I didn't even knock on the door. I pushed open the door of the HR office, slammed the contract in my hand on his desk, and said confidently, "I have studied this contract carefully after returning home. There are obvious problems with several clauses in it. Can you explain it to me?"
As I said that, I quickly flipped to the pages in the contract that had problems and showed her the parts that Qin Lei had marked out before.
HR was obviously caught off guard by my sudden action, and she glanced at the contract impatiently.
"Where's the problem? What's the problem? Since you've signed the contract, you should work honestly according to the contract. Don't always think about taking shortcuts or being lazy."
