Endless Fall

148 Terminating the Contract

Jiang Yingna frowned.

Her sixth sense told her that things were not simple, but at this moment, she did not have time to guess.

The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was enough to cover the vibration of the phone coming from the double bed.

“Baby.” When the man carried her out, her phone was dead. “Do you want a charger?”

“Not for now.”

“Are you that afraid of looking at the trend?”

“I find it annoying.” Jiang Yingnuo did not want to face it.

She leaned into his arms tiredly. When the clock struck nine, she immediately asked him to look at Weibo.

“It’s not out yet.”

“Refresh it.”

He swiped the screen and kept refreshing. When it reached 9:02, a rising trend entered his vision.

# Jiang Yingnuo, the showbiz tramp.

Mr. News: “How strong is Kai Yu Entertainment exactly? Threatening to kick their employees if they don’t follow the rules.”

There were three chat records below the words.

The male actor’s face was blurred. People could only see Jiang Yingna threatening him to meet her at the hotel in an arrogant tone.

“B*tch. Vomit.jpg”

“I can tell how hopeless the actor was just by hearing the conversation. Jiang Yingnuo is too inhumane!”

“The chat history can be faked. Be careful not to be led astray. (I’m not speaking up for her, mind you).”

“Mr. News loves to post fake news. He probably took money from someone to demane Jiang Yingna.”

“Kai Yu entertainment will close soon. Smile.jpg”

“Is the new trend coming up?” Jiang Yingna, who did not know anything, hugged his waist and fell asleep.

“No.” The man closed the comment section.

He did not take those screenshots to heart and did not want her to worry about it, so he did not say anything.

“Then keep refreshing.”

“Yeah.” He swiped the screen casually and was about to leave Weibo when another trend popped up.

#Jiang Yingnuo, naked photo.”

Gossip Entertainment: “Shocking! Three men in one night? The sluttiest in the entertainment industry? Yingna is really insatiable!”

The photos caused an uproar among the netizens who were eager to see how things would turn out.

While their scolding and analysis made the man feel disgusted with Jiang Yingna, he also realized that the situation had become uncontrollable.

He looked down at Jiang Yingna in his arms. Out of fear of offending her, he could only charge her phone after she fell asleep.

The door was closed in the early morning.

The three stacks of banknotes on the bedside table disappeared with the man’s deliberately light footsteps.

When Jiang Yingna woke up, it was too late.

She put on her sunglasses and rushed to Kai Yu. The moment she entered the president’s office, she was slapped by Mr. Jiang.

“I’m disgusted by you!” He kicked her between the knees, making her kneel in front of him. “You still have the cheek to come to the company?!”

“I…”

“Kai Yu Entertainment Company’s stock price has plummeted. Those people outside are still laughing at me. You’ve embarrassed me!”

Jiang Yingnuo burst into tears.

“Dad.” She went forward and hugged Mr. Jiang’s leg. “I know what I’ve done wrong. Please help me.”

“Help you? I still have a lot of mess to clean up at the company. How do you want me to help you?”

Mr. Jiang pushed her away.

He sat on the sofa and smoked one cigarette after another, looking like he had aged ten years.

“Ying Na.” After venting his anger, he regained his rationality. “Who did you offend recently?”

“No one.”

“They’re obviously coming at you. Think about it carefully. Don’t leave anyone out.”

Jiang Yingnuo’s thoughts were still in a mess.

She opened the recent chat history and analyzed the men and women she had threatened.

As more and more people were eliminated, the assistant sent a WeChat message: “Jiang Ye is here to terminate the contract.”

As soon as Jiang Ye’s name appeared, Jiang Yingna suddenly thought of the Pei family behind him.

She gulped. She didn’t want to believe it, but she had to face it. “I think I know who it is.”

“Who?”

“Jiang Ye.”

Mr. Jiang held his heart after hearing the whole story.

After taking the pill, he didn’t even have the strength to slap or scold her. “What’s her name?”

Jiang Yingnuo tried to calm him down. “I don’t know.” She asked carefully, “Didn’t you say that the Pei family doesn’t have a daughter?”

“Indeed, they don’t.” Mr. Jiang thought she was asking about the head of the Pei family, so he didn’t think about their granddaughter.

He took a few sips of water. “His granddaughter doesn’t show up often. I won’t know until I see Jiang Ye.”

Jiang Yingnuo was so nervous that she was sweating.

She followed Mr. Jiang to the conference room. When she saw that there was only a middle-aged man beside Jiang Ye, she felt a little relieved.

“Please sit.” At this juncture, Mr. Jiang couldn’t put on his usual airs.

He sized up Jiang Ye and then looked at the middle-aged man in the suit. “You are?”

“I’m Jiang Ye’s lawyer.” The lawyer took out a business card and handed it to him with a smile.

Mr. Jiang stared at the words “Star River Legal Department”. His head felt like it had been hit by a gong, and even his ears were ringing for a moment.

He knew the relationship between Star River’s boss and Pei Zhi.

“Mr. Jiang.” He put down the business card with trembling hands and softened his attitude. “Just tell me what you want.”

Jiang Ye told him about terminating the contract.

At the mention of the compensation, the lawyer said, “The liquidated damage set by Kai Yu Entertainment has already exceeded the limit stipulated in the labor law.”

“Don’t worry about the liquidated damage.” Mr. Jiang did not care about the millions. He only wanted to minimize the losses.

Jiang Ye refused. “No need.” He knew what he was up to and said bluntly, “Let’s do it according to labor law.”

“Then how much can you pay?”

“Two million.” The lawyer did the math for Kai Yu Entertainment and asked him to sign the contract.

After the entire process was over, Jiang Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

He flipped through the contract and the pressure that had been building up for three years completely disappeared at this moment.

“Mr. Jiang.” Seeing him stand up, Mr. Jiang immediately approached him. “I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter.”

Chairman Jiang, who had always been high and mighty, bowed in front of Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye could not take his bow.

“I’m sorry.” He turned around and looked at Jiang Yingnuo. “Your apology means nothing.

“Then what do you want?!”

“I don’t want anything.”

Before Jiang Yingnuo could rush up, Mr. Jiang slapped her again. “Apologize!”

She held her left cheek and burst into tears as if she had been humiliated.

Her pride and self-esteem were trampled upon mercilessly.

“There’s no need to force her.” Jiang Ye did not need an apology.

He picked up the contract and turned to leave. Even Mr. Jiang couldn’t stop him. “Jiang Yingna, do you want to anger me to death?!”

Jiang Yingnuo couldn’t stop crying.

She swallowed the blood that seeped out of her lower lip and grabbed Mr. Jiang’s hand tightly. “There’s still a way.”
