Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Mentality Change
When Ji Hanxi finished all this and returned to the dormitory, it was already late, night was falling, and the stars were dim.
After washing up, she sat down at her seat and sent a message to her best friend Jingyao, telling her everything that had happened in the past few days.
After reading the numerous messages, her bestie was both angry and worried, and couldn't help asking her:
"What do you decide to do now?"
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Well... you've already terminated your contract with Starlink Entertainment."
"Why don't you join my brother's company?"
Ji Hanxi declined her best friend's kindness:
"Thank you Jingyao"
“But I don’t want to be affiliated with any company now.”
“I want to set up my own studio.”
"Huh?"
Jing Yao typed a question mark in surprise.
"I don't want to be controlled by anyone"
This idea came to her mind when she was making the new agreement. She wanted to take the account into her own hands, she wanted to set up her own studio, and she wanted all the rights to belong completely to her.
Of course, she also thought clearly that setting up her own studio did not mean fighting alone. She did not have such ability, nor did she want to overestimate herself.
She'll collaborate with many companies. She'll work with Jingchen's company, other companies, and even Starlink Interactive Entertainment, which she wouldn't refuse. She just wants to be more proactive and have more options.
After explaining all this to her bestie, she saw messages from Mumu and Nanzhi. They probably only found out about her resignation in the afternoon and were very surprised.
Ji Hanxi briefly explained the new agreement to them. Although she was leaving the company, Starlink Interactive Entertainment would continue to serve her for the next six months. However, it would not participate in the profit sharing, which meant it would only provide manpower and resources.
Ji Hanxi would pay the team members a salary and performance bonus, which would be equivalent to temporarily being her employees. However, Starlink Interactive Entertainment itself would not receive a single cent from her.
This agreement is not fair, and the company is obviously the one who suffers. However, it was the boss's bad behavior that led to her termination of the contract, so the responsibility lies with him. Simply letting him sign this agreement is already the most she can do.
After replying to everyone's messages, she stared blankly at the phone screen.
There was still some time before school started and the others had not arrived yet. She was the only one left in the dormitory and it was so quiet that she could even hear her breathing.
I stared at the WeChat account on my phone, looked at the black avatar on it, clicked on it, and wanted to delete it.
But when my hand was about to touch the button, I hesitated...
All the conversations in it were read over and over again, from the beginning to the end. From the beginning of adding WeChat to the final exposure, every conversation was read over and over again.
She wanted to delete this WeChat, but when the time came, she couldn't bear to do so. The companionship, comfort, and emotional value provided by the WeChat during the entire winter vacation were real.
She had rarely been so happy, and rarely had she been so full of anticipation when chatting with someone. What she had said to Jingyao at the beginning was not false. Perhaps she was attracted by the appearance at first, but as time went on, it was not just the appearance that attracted her.
When she was nervous and anxious about the final exams, he gave her timely encouragement and comfort; when she talked about her troubles, he acted as a quiet and qualified listener; when she shared her life and photos, he provided great emotional value and never spoiled her fun.
With such long-term companionship and dedication, how could she not have the slightest affection...
Vivienne was right. If he approached her in his original identity, she would not give him any chance at all. Not only would she not give him any chance, she would also think that he was harming her again.
Yes, she was prejudiced against him. She just hated people who were neither male nor female. Whether it was the first time she met him or the daily interactions that followed, she was full of disgust and prejudice.
Because of prejudice and disgust, all his actions were distorted. If she thought about it carefully, did those things that she thought he did to harm her really hurt her?
We worked together to shoot videos, helped her quickly get an account and find a suitable track, connected her to the microphone during live broadcasts to help her increase her popularity, and gave her many gifts. During the winter vacation, I gave her luxury goods, which she thought was a humiliation, but in fact, they were all the latest and best models.
Even when she snatched his number one spot from him, he didn't do anything to retaliate against her, but instead transferred 10,000 yuan to her every day... He had been doing this habit since before the winter break, and even if she humiliated and scolded him today, he would still transfer the money to her Alipay account.
He was indeed venomous, arrogant, and annoying, but the kindness he showed her was genuine. It was just because she hated him that those kindnesses were considered murderous, calculated, and malicious.
He said that during their time together during the winter break, after shedding the "Vivienne" facade, she was able to truly see him without prejudice, to face him squarely without any distortion. She was able to see his true character and understand his kindness and dedication to her.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that he is right.
Moreover, she was now somewhat bewildered. Did she really loathe him so much? Did she loathe him so much that she wished him dead? Yet, in her dream, she had determined that the man was not Vivienne, and when she touched him, she didn't feel such a strong sense of rejection or disgust. She even felt comfortable in his embrace. Why was this so?
Ji Hanxi felt her vision blurry. She blinked hard, but the blurriness only got worse. When hot, wet tears streamed down her cheeks, she realized she was crying...
She couldn't explain why she was crying. Was it because she had seen through some things, or was it because she couldn't accept them? She couldn't explain it clearly. She just felt very sad.
This time of crying was completely different from the last time. Last time, my heart was filled with humiliation and anger, but this time, I felt indescribable sadness.
Love is like an unsolvable puzzle. I clearly hate him the most, but now I can't stop crying because of him...
She looked at the WeChat messages on her phone, trying to regain some composure and focus.
Now she knew that Vivienne loved her, and that she was attached to the person who had accompanied her during the winter vacation. But the deception was an established fact, and these things should be treated separately.
He had cheated on her, so she would definitely find a way to cheat him back.
She stared at the black profile picture hesitantly for a moment, and finally clicked on it:
Sometimes I really hate you
"I thought you had deleted this account."
The other side replied.
"I was planning to delete it"
"But think carefully about what you said today."
"Some of it is right"
“I do have a prejudice against you.”
"So I'm willing to give you a chance."
"Give you the same as everyone else"
"Equal opportunities to pursue me"
"this time"
"I won't have any prejudice against you anymore."
Ji Hanxi looked at the series of words he had uttered and sneered in his heart.
There was silence on the other end for a moment. When she thought the other party didn't believe her, she suddenly felt her phone vibrate slightly and Alipay popped up on the screen.
He transferred a lot of money to her again, but because Alipay has a limit on the single transaction, he transferred it in several installments.
At the same time, he sent her a message:
"good"
"What's going on with the money transferred via Alipay?"
She looked at the large transfer and wondered.
Dinner money
"I feel like you didn't eat dinner today"
Ji Hanxi stared blankly at the message he sent. He really knew her too well, sometimes even better than she knew herself. She had indeed not eaten dinner, not only dinner, but also lunch. She was so angry today that she had no time or energy to think about eating.
Now that he reminded her, she felt hungry, and she was also a little dehydrated from crying so much just now. But when it came to ordering, she didn't know what to order.
Suddenly I remembered that Vivienne had ordered dim sum for people in the company before. The food at that restaurant was very delicious. She took a picture of the store name and wanted to order it herself in the future.
So I searched through my photo album, found the picture, and searched on Meituan based on the store name in the picture.
However, she found out that the restaurant was closed and could only be booked for tomorrow morning. She casually flipped through the pictures in the review section and suddenly saw the review from two years ago.
She felt a little confused. Wasn't it said that this store was newly opened by Vivienne's friend and was on trial operation at that time? Wasn't he treating the whole company to a meal to help his friend?
The dinner invitation took place a few months ago, in November last year. If the restaurant had just opened at that time, how could there be reviews from two years ago on the food delivery platform?
The conversation with "Crush" suddenly surfaced in her mind. She told him that she had just had breakfast after a meeting that morning, and then a while later, the takeaway of Cantonese-style morning tea arrived...
Were those takeouts ordered for her? After coming to this conclusion, she was a little stunned, not knowing how to react.
I didn't even look for another restaurant to order takeout, I just stared at that comment.
Another WeChat message popped up, it was from him:
"If you don't know what to eat"
"Give me the address."
"I'll give you some."
He even thought about her not knowing what to eat.
Ji Hanxi looked at the message and replied to him:
"No"
"I've already ordered."
The money he transferred was for dinner. Since we have already received his money, there is no need for him to order takeout.
Since I really didn’t know what to eat, I just went into a random store and chose their signature set meal.
After the meal arrived, she ate while watching the movie. When she saw something interesting, she subconsciously took a screenshot and shared it with "crush".
As soon as she sent it out, she hurriedly withdrew it. Habit is really a terrible thing!
I got into the habit of sharing my daily life with him during the winter vacation. Now, whenever I see something fun and interesting, I want to send it to him. It’s really annoying.
Ji Hanxi hoped that the other party would not see her withdrawn message, but it was obviously not what she wanted. The other party replied to her:
"Do you like this movie?"
Copyright fees don't seem expensive.
Ji Hanxi rolled his eyes. What was this guy talking about? Why was he suddenly mentioning copyright fees? He was talking about it as if he was going to buy the movie. This was incomprehensible. What a crazy person!
She ignored him and continued watching the movie.
The other side asked again:
"Will you be at the company tomorrow?"
"Um"
"I think so."
She gave a vague answer in a cold manner.
Of course she would return to the company, but she would no longer be making money for it. However, the company would still provide her with a team and a venue, as the new agreement clearly stated. Since she had these resources at her disposal, she would definitely make full use of them.
The next day, when Ji Hanxi arrived at the content department, she first saw a pile of unopened luxury goods on her workstation. Obviously, these were all given to her by Vivienne.
There were more than she expected. Maybe he had added some new styles in the past few days.
As I moved my eyes forward, I saw the food on the table. The packaging was very beautiful and it was obvious that it was produced in a very expensive restaurant.
Nanzhi saw her and immediately came over and whispered in her ear, "Vivienne actually bought this breakfast for you. It's really weird!"
