Chapter 23 Meeting Xiao Zhiyuan
He returned to the company without stopping, and as soon as he entered the door, the front desk clerk told him that Xiao Zhiyuan and his agent were already waiting for him in the company's reception room.
Qi Yu'an nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he understood. Now that the people have arrived, let's start to settle the accounts.
Without going back to the office, he directly opened the door of the living room.
When the people inside saw Qi Yu'an, they immediately stood up in panic.
"Hello, President."
"Yu An."
It would have been fine if Xiao Zhiyuan didn't say hello, but when he uttered the artificial "Yu'an", Qi Yu'an felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He looked at Xiao Zhiyuan with eyes like knives, exuding coldness, and his voice was even colder: "Didn't anyone teach you the rules?"
The agent quickly pulled Xiao Zhiyuan's clothes, signaling him to apologize quickly.
"Mr. Qi." His eyes instantly turned red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
But for Qi Yu'an now, it just makes him more disgusted.
"I don't have time to watch you act, two things:
First: Three years ago, you framed Wen Yan and apologized publicly to the entire network.
Second: Pack up your things and prepare to terminate your contract."
Qi Yu'an's voice was cold and ruthless, without any trace of the protective spirit he used to have.
Xiao Zhiyuan couldn't accept such a gap: "Why? I admit that I was blinded by jealousy three years ago. I did something wrong, but that was because I liked you too much and I was afraid of losing you. I can apologize."
Xiao Zhiyuan sounded pitiful, his voice choked with sobs. He stretched out his hand and tried to grab Qi Yu'an's sleeve, but Qi Yu'an turned a deaf ear to him. Seeing his restless hands, he even had the urge to break them.
He could not see more clearly what a selfish person this person was. Now he heard him bragging about liking himself, and he felt sick and wanted to vomit.
But it was such a hypocritical person who had deceived himself and was willing to protect him even at the cost of hurting the people closest to him.
When Qi Yu'an thought of Wen Yan, he felt a dull pain in his heart. I'm sorry, I was blind.
"That's enough. You are not worthy of saying you like me." Qi Yu'an said fiercely. If eyes could kill, Xiao Zhiyuan believed that he would not breathe right now.
Stunned for a moment, he took a step back.
The atmosphere was so tense that the broker had to step in to smooth things over. After all, he didn't want to lose Xiao Zhiyuan, his cash cow.
"Mr. Qi, calm down first. We know we were wrong and are preparing to apologize. Do you think we can handle it privately? After all, the image of a public figure is very important. Don't worry, we can pay whatever compensation Mr. Wen wants as long as we can do it."
I have to say that this agent is smart. He knows that there is no room for maneuver in the matter of apology, so he tries every means to minimize the impact and maximize his own interests.
Qi Yu'an was not so easy to talk to: "I'm talking about a public apology across the entire network. Don't you understand? It turns out that you also know that the image of public figures is very important. Then didn't you come up with this despicable method?"
He was merciless in every word he said, and now not only Xiao Zhiyuan felt something was wrong, but his agent also guessed that something else might have happened. Otherwise, according to past practice, even if Qi Yu'an was angry, he would not have gone to this extent.
He looked at Xiao Zhiyuan, silently asking him with his eyes what stupid thing he had done.
Xiao Zhiyuan shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know what happened either.
Although he didn't know what had happened to make Qi Yu'an so angry, the agent still wanted to fight for him. After all, Xiao Zhiyuan was the most valuable one under him. Once his reputation collapsed, his income would be greatly reduced. Although he said that he didn't need to support his family, he still owed gambling debts outside.
He continued, "Mr. Qi, we really know we were wrong and are willing to apologize to the entire network. In the future, can the company arrange for someone to control the comments, or formulate a whitewashing plan? Xiao Zhiyuan was also cultivated by you, and now his net worth is close to the top. I believe you don't want to see his career ruined."
Qi Yu'an looked at him coldly. The agent was frightened by this emotionless look and broke out in a cold sweat. He pretended to be calm and looked at Qi Yu'an.
"Do you have a hearing problem? I made two requests and you didn't hear any of them? Then I'll say it again, my request is to apologize to the entire Internet and terminate the contract with the company. You said that the contract has been terminated, so why should the company do public relations for him?"
"You can't do that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhiyuan couldn't help himself and shouted out excitedly. He saw that Qi Yu'an had really given up on him completely this time, and he wouldn't allow it.
He wanted Qi Yu'an to protect him as before, to give him resources for free, and to receive special care wherever he went. He didn't mind even if everyone thought he and Qi Yu'an were having an affair.
"Why can't I do this?" Qi Yu'an glanced at him with disdain.
"Just because I saved you, Qi Yu'an, you can't be so ungrateful and treat me like this for a man."
This is Xiao Zhiyuan's trump card. Over the years, whenever something happened, he always hinted at it intentionally or unintentionally. This is the first time he said it directly.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu'an did not show any guilty expression as usual, but looked at him even more indifferently, as if he had never known this person.
After a long while, Qi Yu'an spoke up: "Are you sure that you saved me back then, and didn't arrange for someone to push me into the water?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhiyuan knew it was all over. His mind went blank and his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand.
He didn't know how Qi Yu'an knew about this after such a long time, but since he said so, he must have evidence.
No wonder, no wonder he suddenly became like a different person.
He tried to explain, but after looking at Qi Yu'an's eyes that seemed to know everything, he didn't have the courage to speak.
When his agent saw his pale face, what was there for him to understand?
Shit, he had always thought that Xiao Zhiyuan was treated differently because he had somehow hooked up with the boss, but it turned out that he staged a heroic act to save the damsel in distress.
After following him for so many years, even though I already knew that Xiao Zhiyuan was not a good person, he still pushed me to the limit.
Asking someone to push someone into the water and then rescuing them by yourself, how vicious it is, a life could be lost if you are not careful. But he did it without any guilt, and enjoyed the benefits given by others with a clear conscience, and even had the nerve to ask for rewards.
Bah, shameless, so shameless.
He was really unlucky for bringing such an artist with him. Now he didn't dare to say a word to beg for mercy. He just hoped that he would not be implicated. Thinking of this, he silently moved himself to a place far away from Xiao Zhi.
This person is so scary. Staying away from danger means cherishing life.
