Chapter 44 Termination of Contract [VIP]
"Everyone has left, what are you still looking at?" Li Yingqi handed the clothes to Aunt Wang next to him and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
Yan Jie retracted her gaze and asked him calmly, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Li Yingqi seemed to be surprised that Yan Jie would speak to him in such a distant tone. He gave her a strange look, then looked away as if nothing had happened. "The fishing spot was taken away."
Li Yingqi, the current head of the Li family.
The Li family started out as a pharmaceutical company and has always had close cooperation with the government. After Li Yingqi took over, in addition to deepening his roots in the pharmaceutical sector, he also invested in many other fields.
He is a workaholic and low-key person with no hobbies. He doesn't smoke or drink except when he is socializing. His only regular leisure activity is fishing, and he spends almost one day every week going out fishing.
During the first two years that Yan Jie followed him, she also learned to fish in order to cater to his hobby, and she would accompany him almost every time.
Later, as my career developed, I had more and more announcements and activities, so I went less often.
Yan Jie seemed to have heard something funny and looked at him with a raised eyebrow: "Who dares to steal Mr. Li's fishing spot?"
Li Yingqi didn't say anything. In fact, the fish L that took the hook had escaped. He was uneasy and felt irritated for no reason, so he went back home.
Thinking of what Lin Zhihua had said to her before she left, Yan Jie calmed down and asked casually, "Did you go to the airport a few days ago?"
"Yeah." Li Yingqi took a sip of the water cup and didn't care. He thought she was asking about his business trip to S City last weekend.
really.
Yan Jie sneered and saw him put down the cup and prepare to go upstairs. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and followed him into the study.
"Something?" The man in front of the computer looked up, his eyes looking at her calmly and distantly, yet with a sharpness that went straight to the heart.
Yan Jie suddenly hesitated. It was written in black and white that upon expiration of the contract, both parties would automatically terminate their cooperation and their relationship. Now, with only two months left, she had already brought it up as soon as her first love returned to China. She didn't know how Li Yingqi would react.
It would be fine if he thought he was sensible and knew to avoid suspicion, but what if he thought I had real feelings for him and was acting all pretentious and artificial about pure love? How would I explain it?
"I..." Yan Jie didn't dare to meet his gaze. She bit her lower lip and spoke carefully, "Let's terminate that contract early."
Li Yingqi didn't seem to expect her to say this. He was stunned for a second and nodded nonchalantly: "It's up to you."
Unexpectedly, the goal was achieved so quickly. Yan Jie's slightly stiff facial features suddenly relaxed, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She smiled slightly and said, "Sir, please continue working. I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, he turned his back and took the opportunity to roll his eyes.
She is worthy of being called the White Moonlight. No one who comes after her can compare to her. Li Yingqi is such a stingy man who is unwilling to take such a small loss that he kicked her out without even mentioning the breach of contract clause.
Of course, there was no breakup fee at all. After all, I had slept with him for five years, and he was so tired that he didn't even care about our fleeting romance.
Yan Jie pouted in dissatisfaction and was about to leave when Li Yingqi suddenly called her.
"etc."
"What's wrong, sir?" Yan Jie let go of the door handle, turned around, and her usual smile appeared on her face again.
He was silent for a moment, a hint of unnaturalness flashing across his face: "Remember to tell Special Assistant Jiang."
"Okay." She lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
Li Yingqi transfers 500,000 yuan into her account every month. By saying this to Jiang Yan, isn't he just telling him that he doesn't have to give her pocket money for the next two months?
The shrewd capitalists will not miss any loophole.
Bah, I don’t even care about that one million.
She kept complaining in her heart, but she didn't dare show any resentment on her face.
Yan Jie returned to her room and began to pack her luggage one by one.
She felt much calmer than she had imagined. She did not feel the joy of regaining her freedom, nor the reluctance to leave her financial sponsor. It seemed that she had rehearsed this matter countless times in her mind, and now that it suddenly came, Yan Jie felt a sense of relief that "it's finally here".
Five years ago, the reason why she was chosen by Li Yingqi to be raised by his side was not only because her face looked like Bai Yueguang, but also because she wanted to cope with the pressure from her family to get married and pretend to be deeply in love with him in front of his grandmother.
In the entertainment industry, which is a huge melting pot, if she, an ordinary person with no power and influence, wants to get to the top, she either has to cling to him or the second or third generation of other powerful people.
Instead of being chosen, it is better to find someone you like in advance.
At least although Li Yingqi is three or four years older than her, he has a clean private life, is unmarried, has no bad habits, and gives her 500,000 yuan in pocket money every month. Over the years, she has gained a lot of fame, fortune and money with his help. No matter how you look at it, she is the one who has made the profit.
Seeing that the items in two suitcases were packed out in a short while, Yan Jie was speechless.
Put it in Li Yingqi's villa? Just pick out the valuable ones and take them away. You can buy the rest later.
Thinking of this, Yan Jie opened the suitcase again and checked the items one by one.
"This watch, a gift, is worth over six million. I must take it."
"Souvenirs brought back from a business trip to Country M? Hiss, actually
Yan Jie identified it, put it back, and took out all her personal clothes.
When the time comes, ask Aunt Wang to express it to her.
She closed the box and carried it downstairs with difficulty, and happened to meet the man who was quietly drinking tea in the living room.
"Where are you going?" Li Yingqi put down the teacup and looked up at her.
"Go home." Yan Jie said these two words and walked out with her suitcase.
"Are you going to live in Half Moon Bay?" Li Yingqi frowned slightly.
"Yeah." Yan Jie nodded and waved to Nuomi. When the Samoyed heard its owner calling it, it ran over.
Yan Jie smiled, patted its head, and smoothed its fur. "I want to take Glutinous Rice with me."
"No." Li Yingqi refused without hesitation. As if realizing his tone was a bit cold, he pursed his lips and added, "You're busy filming and don't have the energy to take care of it."
Who is she looking down on? She can always ask someone to help her with the glutinous rice.
Yan Jie curled her lips, knowing that this man would not change his words at will, so she did not insist any more and walked out with her suitcase without looking back.
Since it didn't work openly, she came back in the middle of the night to steal the dog when Li Yingqi was not at home.
Oh, that’s not right. Nuomi followed her voluntarily. It wasn’t considered stealing. She just came to pick Nuomi up.
Li Yingqi called her again: "Let Uncle Qian take you there."
Yan Jie didn't stop: "No need, I've already called Sister Ling to pick me up."
After putting her luggage in the trunk, she looked back at the villa where she had lived for three years, and got into the car at Qi Siling's urging.
"What's wrong? You don't look very happy." The car slowly drove out of the villa. Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Qi Siling, who was driving, asked tentatively, "Did you have a quarrel with President Li?"
"No." Yan Jie leaned back in her chair, watching the familiar scenery fade out of the window frame bit by bit, slightly lost in thought.
Qi Siling felt relieved: "That's good..."
"I broke up with him." Her eyes were still looking out the window, her tone was flat, even without any ups and downs.
"...What?!" The next second, Qi Siling slammed on the brakes in the driveway of the villa area, and Yan Jie hurriedly grabbed the handrail tightly.
The car stopped at the side of the road. Qi Siling turned around and looked at Yan Jie in shock: "Did he propose it?"
Did Yan Jie and Li Yingqi have a fight? Or did they break up?
She is now a popular TV queen, but if she really offends Li Yingqi, she will suffer several setbacks in the entertainment industry. She is signed with an entertainment company in which the Li family holds shares, so she may be banned in the future.
"No, I brought it up." Yan Jie adjusted her sitting position, rubbed her forehead which was hurt by the collision, and fastened her seat belt with lingering fear.
Qi Siling took a long time to find her voice. "That's fine, cut your losses in time. You're the most ambitious and capable person I've ever managed. You've established yourself in the entertainment industry and have a bright future ahead of you. It's best for you to leave sooner rather than later."
Yan Jie didn't say anything and tightened her grip on the seat belt.
At the beginning, Li Yingqi paid the full amount of the contract termination fee for her, and after terminating the contract for her, he let Creative Art sign her and arranged for Qi Siling to be her agent.
Qi Siling has been with Yan Jie for so long that she knows the secret agreement between them very well. She has always felt that Li Yingqi is not a good man. He is indifferent to everyone and does not care much about Yan Jie.
"Don't think too much. People like them are just playing around. If they really had feelings for you, they would have married you home a long time ago," she comforted him.
"I know. I'm not some fledgling star. I've seen this kind of situation many times." Yan Jie supported her head and stared at the sunset in the sky.
"You..." Qi Siling hesitated for a moment, still a little worried, "You really don't have any feelings for him at all?"
Yan Jie was silent for a few seconds. "Maybe, but I know what I want more. The little feelings I have for him can't lead me astray."
Qi Siling sighed deeply, not knowing what she was thinking. "Just keep in mind what's going on. By the way, I've got you on a reality show. You can be a guest on a few episodes. This variety show is quite wealthy, and the quality is top-notch, whether it's the exclusive online platform or satellite TV. It's a great opportunity to promote your new drama."
"Okay." Yan Jie responded absentmindedly.
She opened WeChat on her phone and sent a message to Li Yingqi's assistant.
Yan Zhuyin: "Assistant Jiang, my contract with Li Yingqi has been terminated early. You don't need to transfer money to me anymore."
Special Assistant Jiang responded to the message very quickly.
Special Assistant Jiang: "Okay, Ms. Yan."

Looking at the word "Victory" that lit up on the screen, Xue Zeyu excitedly jumped up from his chair, "Fuck, Brother Fu, how are you so awesome!"
"Of course. It's easy for you to win the game in this situation." Fu Shengyan put down his headphones and said confidently.
"Boss, let me pay my respects to you!" Tang Yuan clasped his hands together and bowed to him in a formal manner.
"No more calling. My wife wants me to go home." Fu Shengyan shook his vibrating cell phone with considerable pride.
Tang Yuan clasped his hands together and said, "Brother, let's play one more round. It's only eight o'clock now! Besides, you haven't answered the phone yet. How do you know that the squad leader wants you to go home?"
"What do you single guys know?" Fu Shengyan snorted and answered the phone. His tone instantly became sweet. "What's wrong, honey?"
"Ayan, something happened."
