Chapter 159 Termination of Contract
Chapter 159 Termination of Contract
And I, who was once a rich young lady, have become like this, seemingly inferior to others in every way.
Every word he said felt like a merciless mockery, which I found unbearable.
I retorted angrily, "Then let's terminate the contract! We don't need to dislike each other anymore!" My voice was filled with determination and resentment, as if I wanted to pour out all my grievances and anger.
Zhao Ning never expected things to develop to this point. He stood there, eyes wide, looking completely bewildered, seemingly at a loss for what to do.
Jiang Yichen pointed to the door and coldly said to Zhao Ning, "You go out first."
His tone was full of unquestionable authority, and Zhao Ning glanced at me with concern.
Jiang Yichen snapped in a low voice, "Can't you understand me?"
Zhao Ning clenched his fists, having no choice but to obediently comply.
He turned and left the office, leaving Jiang Yichen and me standing facing each other in the cold air.
The atmosphere in the office became even more tense.
Jiang Yichen stared intently at me, his eyes revealing complex emotions, and asked coldly, "Were you happy doing a live stream with him?"
I deliberately acted like a spiteful person, a smile playing on my lips, and said, "Yeah, I'm really happy doing live streams with him. I've never been so happy before!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Yichen's face turned ugly.
He suddenly walked over, grabbed my chin, and said in an icy tone, "You're really something, two-timing me!"
I struggled fiercely, trying to break free from his grasp, and retorted, "I didn't step on you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's lips curled into a mocking smile: "You? You're dreaming!"
He released his grip on my chin, took a step forward, leaned down to look at me, and said disdainfully, "I'm just standing up for Song Le!"
I placed my hands on his chest, speechless. I hadn't expected Jiang Yichen to drag Song Le into this again.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and said, "Jiang Yichen, please don't mention Song Le anymore. He's already gone on a blind date arranged by his family. Saying this could easily cause misunderstandings."
Jiang Yichen remained unmoved and snorted coldly: "I heard that Song Le absolutely refuses to go on blind dates."
I was taken aback when I heard this. Recalling Song Yuan's attitude, I cursed inwardly: Song Le is such a blockhead. He doesn't even know how to seize such a good opportunity.
On the surface, I just sighed softly and didn't say anything more. The more I said, the more ruthless the dog in front of me became.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Lin Nan suddenly pushed the door open and entered without knocking, clearly startled by the scene before him.
When she saw the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between Jiang Yichen and me, her expression instantly turned sour.
I hurriedly lowered my hand and tried to explain to Lin Nan, "Lin Nan, don't misunderstand, there's really nothing between me and President Jiang."
But Lin Nan didn't seem to care about my explanation. She walked straight up to Jiang Yichen and said, "President Jiang, Zhao Ning came to me and asked if he can still partner with you for live streaming after signing the contract. I don't know how to answer, so I came to ask for your opinion."
Jiang Yichen pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about this."
His tone was calm and indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nan gave me a deep look, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but she said nothing and turned to leave the office.
I stood there, stunned, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
I chuckled lightly, then said provocatively, "Jiang Yichen, now look what's happened. Lin Nan will definitely think you're a womanizer when she sees you bullying me. If someone wants to win back his wife, he'd better be prepared for a nightmare."
Jiang Yichen's eyes instantly turned sharp, and he warned, "Miss Gu, before you argue with me, you'd better think about whether you have the right to do so."
I realized I might have gone a bit too far, but I still wouldn't admit it.
I changed the subject and asked, "Then tell me, how can we get Zhao Ning to intern with me for a while longer?"
Jiang Yichen raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a half-smile, "Move back to the villa!"
I was taken aback when I heard this; I hadn't expected him to make such a demand.
I frowned and said, "Jiang Yichen, don't go too far. Move back to the villa? Who do you think you are?"
Jiang Yichen remained unmoved, saying calmly, "This is the only condition. If you don't accept it, then forget it. However, I think Zhao Ning's live-streaming career may have come to an end here."
My heart tightened, knowing that Jiang Yichen meant what he said. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to let Zhao Ning continue her internship with me first."
Jiang Yichen frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really willing?"
I frowned and looked at him, puzzled. Was he sick? He had agreed to the conditions I had proposed, and now he was unhappy about it.
"Are you going to agree or not?" I asked impatiently.
Jiang Yichen sneered and said, "No problem. As long as you move back to the villa, everything is negotiable."
I glared angrily at Jiang Yichen, my eyes seeming to spit fire.
But he looked at me defiantly, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
This reaction only fueled my anger. I took a deep breath, turned around, and left the office, leaving Jiang Yichen sitting there alone.
After Jiang Yichen stormed back to his office, Zhao Ning followed him in, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and shook my head, saying, "It's okay."
Seeing this, Zhao Ning didn't ask any more questions, and instead said, "What do you think about the contract I just mentioned? Should I sign it? I still want to do the live stream with you."
I looked at him and said seriously, "You should think about signing the contract carefully. After all, it concerns your future."
Just then, Little Sweetie pushed open the door and entered, overhearing our conversation.
She walked over, glanced at me, and said, "You're such an idiot. Even if Zhao Ning signed a contract, you can't do a live stream together, but you can still do a screen connection, which is still considered a live stream together. Besides, you can also have PK battles, which will increase your exposure and generate more buzz."
Upon hearing this, my eyes lit up, and I felt that what Little Sweetie said made a lot of sense.
I turned to Zhao Ning and said, "Little Sweetie is right, we can try this method. You go sign the contract first, and then we'll try a live stream with multiple screens connected and see how it goes."
I looked at Little Sweetie and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Little Sweetie glanced at me and scoffed, "Don't overthink it. I'm just a little tired of being number one for so long."
