The implication is that He Ling can no longer make money for her, so why should she keep her?
He Ling kept shaking her head. She grabbed Xie Ping's sleeve and begged, "Boss Xie, you can't do this to me. I left Fengya Bookstore because you said you would give me a better platform and help me make more money. Please don't abandon me now."
Xie Ping's gaze fell on He Ling's hand that was tugging at her sleeve. She pried her fingers apart one by one with great force. She curled her lips in a cold smile, "What do you mean by abandoning me or not? That was a deal we both agreed to. You wanted to make money, and I wanted to make money too. I said that at the beginning, but I didn't force you."
After saying that, she fiercely pushed He Ling away and said, "Give her the twenty-five taels for breach of contract in the agreement and let her leave."
After saying that, Xie Ping turned and went into the back hall.
"Xie Ping, you can't do this to me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have left Fengya Bookstore."
"Believe me, I will definitely be able to make a comeback, and they will definitely like my storybooks again."
"I'll go and modify it. I'll take it and modify it again."
However, what awaited her was the agreement from the waiter and twenty-five taels of silver thrown at her.
He Ling finally stopped talking. She looked disheveled, punched the ground hard, and her eyes were red.
After a long time, she picked up the silver and stood up. Unexpectedly, she turned around and faced Wang Mian opposite her.
Wang Mian seemed to be out buying vegetables, with a basket in his hand.
It was the first time that Wang Mian saw He Ling in such a miserable state. She thought Wang Mian would come forward and ridicule her, but unexpectedly, Wang Mian just glanced at her lightly and turned away.
That look was as if she was just a stranger.
Somehow, He Ling looked at his back for a long time...

At Tianshui Bookstore, Xie Ping took off the coat that He Ling had just touched, threw it on the ground, and put on a new one.
He asked the waiter to bring some water and carefully washed the fingers that had touched He Ling several times until his hands were all red.
Then she left Tianshui Bookstore.
There were three people sitting in a private room on the second floor of Huixiang Restaurant: Yang Xin, Xu Shi, and the owner of the opera troupe.
The owner of the opera troupe took a fancy to Xu Shi's script called "Drunk in Jiangnan" and wanted to adapt it into an opera to be performed on the stage.
"Drunk in Jiangnan" tells a story that takes place in the misty water town of Jiangnan. It also tells the story of a male teacher in a private school and a lady from a wealthy family. This story is full of tragic love and twists and turns, and every time you read it, you can't help but cry.
The two sides have almost finished the talks, and all that is left is for Xu Shi to sign an agreement with the troupe owner.
"You guys sign the rest, I'm going out for a walk." Yang Xin had nothing to do next, so she planned to go downstairs to listen to storytelling.
Although she had read a lot of storytelling books in the past, she had rarely listened to storytelling. Every time she listened to it, she still found it quite interesting.
However, before she reached the first floor, she suddenly stopped when passing a private room.
She squinted her eyes and looked through the crack in the door, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure, it was Xie Ping.
After confirming that it was Xie Ping, Yang Xin frowned. She didn't have a good impression of this person. Thinking back to when she took over Tianshui Bookstore, she did countless disgusting but not disastrous things in order to compete with Taohua Bookstore.
In the beginning, Yang Xin fought back, but once, Taohua Bookstore almost suffered a heavy blow.
Fortunately, Yang Xin used extraordinary means and borrowed the power of the boss to make Xie Ping stop. Since then, the two sides have maintained peace on the surface.
