Chapter 8
These words were like thorns that entangled Leng Yichen's heart, making him feel like dying.
He didn't expect that Lu Ningchu would treat him so differently.
She can still let netizens insult her, but she doesn't want Zhou Tingyu to suffer even a little bit of injustice
At this moment, Leng Yichen's disappointment with Lu Ningchu reached its peak.
At this moment, Sister He raised her head from her phone, her brows furrowed. "Lu Ningchu told us to return to the company, immediately!"
The hint of impending storm in his words made Leng Yichen feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
After driving back to the company, Leng Yichen came to the meeting room with Sister He without makeup.
As soon as the door opened, Leng Yichen stopped.
The room was filled with senior management, all with serious expressions, as if they were waiting to judge a criminal.
He subconsciously exchanged glances with Sister He, both with wariness in their eyes.
Lu Ningchu sat in the first seat. Seeing them coming, he said in a deep voice, "Sit down."
After they both took their seats, Lu Ningchu's announcement exploded throughout the room: "I've decided to fire He Xiuli!"
Leng Yichen looked up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief: "Why?"
Lu Ningchu's face was indifferent: "She acts radically, and her public relations methods are backward. She has damaged the company's image. Her ability has fallen behind..."
Before Lu Ningchu could finish her words, Leng Yichen interrupted, "What gives you the right to say that? You said Sister He is incompetent? What is her incompetence?"
His tone was light, but full of sarcasm.
Lu Ningchu frowned.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The others tactfully stood up and prepared to leave.
Sister He opened and closed her lips to say something, but before she could say anything, she was dragged out.
Leng Yichen looked at her cold face, his voice hoarse, but every word he spoke was crystal clear.
"I was the one who brought Sister He here. At that time, your company was just starting out."
"I remember that in my first year here, Sister He brought in the first batch of artists. That year's financial statements were many times higher than those of other companies."
"For so many years, the company has relied on Sister He's connections to build a solid foundation. Now, just because of Zhou Tingyu, are you going to throw the donkey away after it has served its purpose?"
When Zhou Tingyu was mentioned, Lu Ningchu's expression changed, and she looked at him with suspicion: "Leng Yichen, you are just an artist of the company. It is an employee's responsibility to obey the arrangements. You have no right to question my decision."
Leng Yichen felt a spasmodic pain in his heart, and for a moment, he thought he had forgotten to breathe.
Lu Ningchu's promise rang in his ears: "Leng Yichen, I've convinced my sister. Now I have the start-up capital. Why don't you come to my company? I will definitely make you an international superstar."
Leng Yichen believed her and gave her everything.
But now, all I get is a sentence saying that I am not qualified.
No one is colder than Lu Ningchu.
Leng Yichen's eyes moistened, and his voice, low and clear, echoed throughout the room: "If you insist on firing Sister He, then terminate my contract as well."
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Lu Ningchu tightened her jaw and squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Are you threatening me?"
Seeing Leng Yichen still looking determined.
Lu Ningchu's eyes were grim, and her clear voice suppressed her anger. "Okay, I can terminate the contract. But you signed a lifetime contract, and the penalty for breach of contract is 1 billion! Can you afford it?"
Leng Yichen's pupils constricted.
These words were like a mountain, smashing down on Leng Yichen so hard that he was almost suffocating.
When he signed the lifetime contract, he never thought that Lu Ningchu would use this contract, in which he had given all his trust, to control him.
He raised his head and looked carefully at the woman in front of him.
Her appearance became more cold and sharp, and her aura also carried the coldness of a superior.
The rock rebel Lu Ningchu is gone, replaced by the female president of Galaxy Entertainment.
A strange woman who doesn't love him.
Leng Yichen suddenly smiled, tears rolled down his eyes, and he uttered a word softly: "Okay..."
After saying that, he resolutely turned and left.
1 a.m.
The official Weibo account of Galaxy Entertainment, which had not been updated for a long time, dropped a bombshell, shocking countless netizens who were watching the drama late at night and exclaiming in surprise.
