In Gu Ci's tear-blurred eyes, she could only see his fleeting shadow.
The strong resentment in her heart was like a surging tide, ready to completely destroy her.
Why?
Why are they all Shengshengshengsheng? Why and on what basis does Meng Sheng make these outstanding and top-ranked people flock to her.
How exactly is she worse than Meng Sheng?
Face?
She does!
It can be concluded that her face is comparable to Meng Sheng's delicate and beautiful face. In fact, there are few people in the whole city of Beijing whose faces can compare with hers.
Meng Sheng is one of them.
Is that family background?
But, she also has this.
Are you well-read, knowledgeable, and elegant?
She has more?
What is missing?
A healthy and perfect body?
Just this, just this!
She hated this unreliable body. Why did fate play such a trick on her? If she had not been diagnosed with leukemia and these terminal illnesses, if she had not given up, everything would have been different.
Why can’t we go back to the day when we were diagnosed with leukemia?
If she could go back to that day, as long as she didn't break off the engagement with Pei Sui, all the things that happened afterwards would never have happened again.
Snap, clack!
Tears dripped onto the pure white quilt, soaking it all over, as if filled with regret, anger, and more of unwillingness.
She really doesn't want to accept this.
Two lives.
She failed to achieve her wish in both lives.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the director of the HR and Research Planning Department and the leader of Group 2 of Yisheng Art Museum came to the hospital in person.
To be honest, Gu Ci really doesn't want to see anyone from Yisheng Art Museum now. She always feels that if they meet, it would be like Meng Sheng is mocking and ridiculing her.
She now looked pale and her eyes were red. She did not look as refined and elegant as usual and looked extremely disheveled.
Meng Sheng was quite good at seizing opportunities and specially asked people to come and see her make a fool of herself.
But after greeting them, Gu Ci realized that Meng Sheng asked them to come not only to laugh at the joke, but also to take advantage of the situation.
"This is the termination agreement, Ms. Ivy, please take a look."
The HR manager personally handed her the termination agreement with a kind smile on his face and a calm tone.
"Ms. Lvy, on behalf of Yisheng Art Museum, I sincerely thank Ms. Lvy for her trust and support. Looking back at the beginning of our cooperation, both parties were full of passion and expectations, and we also cherish this cooperative relationship.
Unfortunately, with the current rumors circulating online, our museum, after evaluation and unanimous discussion, has no choice but to negotiate a termination of the contract with you. We ask for your forgiveness, Ms. Lvy."
"We are also very sorry about this, but our gallery cannot ignore the reputation of other artists and teachers just because of you, so we have to make this difficult decision. We suggest that the cooperation be terminated amicably."
As expected of an HR eloquence, he covered all aspects, yet was able to achieve a great result with little effort. His remarks were all polite and neither too serious nor too light, but he grasped the right measure. He was very understanding without making the situation too awkward.
Gu Ci's face turned as pale as a piece of paper, and her shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.
The black words on the contract turned into black dots in an instant and began to spin rapidly, making her head dizzy.
What does Meng Sheng mean?
Kicking a drowned dog?
However, when the contract was signed, there was a clause in it that both parties should not allow their personal morality to affect each other's reputation. Otherwise, either party has the right to terminate the cooperation, and the other party must pay 30% of the art exhibition fees, publicity fees and venue fees.
Meng Sheng caused her to be unable to go out and see people, and now he is asking her for compensation?
In this world, how...how could there be such shameless people?
She actually did this. Isn't she afraid of being despised?
No……
Of course Meng Sheng is not afraid of being despised.
Moreover, even if the museum took the initiative to terminate the contract, it would be understandable because now is the best time.
The quarrel she had with her yesterday must have gotten out of hand, and whether it was because of the quarrel or because of the gossip about their Gu family, she was on the moral high ground.
It can also prevent her from having any chance to whitewash herself in subsequent activities.
How could Meng Sheng be despised if the contract was terminated under such circumstances?
The timing couldn't be better.
Meng Sheng's scheming and planning... No wonder Ning Weiwei and Yu Qionghua are no match for her.
He was completely at her mercy.
Gu Ci gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat angry, but she had to suppress this inappropriate emotion.
She looked at them with tears in her eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Manager Qi, Director Chen, how could this happen... We were all fine last time..."
Minister Chen also looked regretful. "Ms. Lvy, this is not what we want to see, but things on the Internet are not something we can control. If our art museum suffers losses, it will be difficult to explain. I think Miss Lvy doesn't want it to come to that.
Please take a look at this termination agreement. If there is anything wrong with it, please feel free to point it out."
Gu Ci looked at their helpless yet determined expressions and knew that this matter was basically a done deal and could not be changed.
Yes, Meng Sheng is a person who does things without leaving any room for maneuver.
But this kind of "kicking someone when they're down" is really too cruel.
She lowered her eyes and bit her lips tightly. It took her a while to loosen her clenched fists, suppress the humiliation in her heart, and pick up the termination contract.
The total amount of liquidated damages was not large for her, only 137,000 yuan, including the venue fees for the next three activities, and she also needed to pay the liquidated damages.
Money and other things actually mean nothing to her.
But paying this money would make her feel very unhappy and uncomfortable, like a sharp knife digging a big piece out of her heart.
Meng Sheng's termination of the contract was a stroke of genius, like a slap in the face.
She actually wanted to refute and say that the compensation could be negotiated later, but she felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed.
What happens after it is mentioned?
Did she see contempt and scrutiny on their faces, as if they thought she cared too much about money?
How should she face it?
There have been enough scandals, and we really can't afford to be embarrassed any more.
So, no matter what if the contract is terminated now, she can only accept it openly.
She suppressed the trembling in her hands and turned the pages, her eyes suddenly fixed on a line of handwritten words.
It took her only a second to recognize that the handwriting below was Pei Sui's.
Her heart moved, and a slight pain gradually came over her.
She endured for a long time before she lost her composure in front of the people in Yisheng Art Museum.
She had to maintain the only face she had now. She couldn't let Meng Sheng make jokes one after another, right?
Turning to the last page, as expected, the words "Pei Sui" were written in the line of legal advisor.
The strokes flow smoothly, majestically yet with a subtle sense of free and easy laziness.
Every stroke of the character was familiar to her since she could remember, and it was mixed with so much sweetness and sadness that she couldn't express.
This contract was drafted by Pei Sui.
He is a very conscientious attorney.
She pursed her lips, suppressing the heat in her eyes and the bitterness in her throat. She looked up at the HR manager in front of her and slowly smiled.
"Okay, since you've made your decision, I respect your opinion. I solemnly apologize for the damage I've done to your museum's reputation. I'm also very grateful for your dedication and hard work over the past month. I've gained a lot from this exhibition. Thank you."
"Ms. Ivy is so polite."
The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries before Gu Ci took the pen and signed his name in both places.
The people from the art museum didn't stay in the ward for long. They waited for her to sign, left a message saying "Have a good rest, see you later", and then left.
Looking at their backs as they left without any reluctance and indifference, Gu Ci suddenly felt a little pain in her heart, the kind of pain that came and went.
She took a breath, turned around and wanted to ring the bell to call the nurse, but just as she stretched out her hand and before she touched the bell, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated twice.
A call came from an unmarked number.
Her eyes glared, and she endured the pain in her heart as she reached for her phone and answered it, "Did you find out?"
