[Alright, you sleep early too, we’re going to bed now! Good night~]
Yu Yue replied quickly.
He looked at the words in the input box [Why don’t you help push Mr. Yu’s contact...] and then deleted the unfinished sentence, sending just two words:
[Good night.]
Ruan Xingwen thought it was already so late, better not disturb them now. Anyway, it would be the sa to add a friend any other day. However, he seed to have forgotten that Yu Xiaozhe was a very busy person and would be joining a team starting tomorrow.
After replying to Yu Yue’s ssage, he casually tossed his phone on the coffee table and turned back to the bedroom.
He was already tired enough yesterday, and today he went shopping with Little Qilin. By the way, he also got a villa today, thanks to Little Qilin.
Although he rested in the afternoon, the consumption of spiritual energy for ordinary people isn’t sothing that can be recovered in just a few hours, right?
Not to ntion, he drank tonight and even hit soone. Surprisingly, he didn’t expect that he could kick the seemingly robust Producer Zhang flying with one kick. Leaning against the headboard, he touched his chin.
"Yun Jing? Yun Jing? Are you there?"
After speaking, he felt a bit silly, as he forgot Yun Jing was temporarily within Little Qilin’s Divine Sense.
However, a response indeed appeared in the void opposite him.
[He is not here.]
No matter what, a prompt suddenly appearing like a barrage was quite startling, especially in the middle of the night.
Patting his chest, Ruan Xingwen asked again,
"Hello? Can I usually communicate with you as well? I thought you only appear when a task is issued."
[Yes. Do you need to connect you to the Mountain and Sea Realm? You can talk directly to Yun Jing.]
Ruan Xingwen didn’t expect there was such a function,
"No need, I just need to know they’re both alright."
Actually, he was quite curious about this system-like thing, what exactly it was. Yun Jing said it was left from that war, but what was that war about? Why would a war be launched? Yun Jing clearly didn’t want to tell him now, so he didn’t ask. As long as the Mountain and Sea Realm existed, he would find out sooner or later.
He thought that after experiencing so much today, he would find it hard to sleep. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.
=======================
Tianyu Entertainnt
At eight in the morning, Li Li’s office door was open.
"Sister Li, is my contract termination drafted?" Ruan Xingwen knocked on the door and then directly walked into the office.
Li Li was obviously waiting for him. She didn’t say much, knowing she couldn’t persuade Ruan Xingwen. So when she saw him entering, she directly picked up the termination contract and handed it to him, waiting quietly as he read it carefully.
After a while, he closed the termination contract, and before he could speak, Li Li stood up and led him to the boss’s office.
The boss’s office was on the sixth floor, and Li Li was on the third. They had nothing to say while taking the elevator up.
They walked to the boss’s office door, and Li Li stepped forward to knock.
------ Tap Tap Tap ------
She knocked twice rhythmically.
"Co in."
When boss Zhao Tianyu saw them, he got up and moved to the sofa prepared in the office, indicating them to co over, and called the secretary to bring so coffee.
Ruan Xingwen politely declined his offer and spoke directly,
"No need, President Zhao, let’s get straight to business."
Zhao Tianyu didn’t insist and instead smiled while discussing with him,
"Xingwen, if you have any requests, just tell . We can discuss everything, why go as far as terminating the contract?"
"Moreover, your contract only has a little over a year left. Terminating now isn’t beneficial for you either."
These words were as Ruan Xingwen expected, but he was resolute,
"It indeed isn’t beneficial for , but I believe Sister Li has inford you of the happenings. My mind is made up, and I must trouble President Zhao for your signature."
Zhao Tianyu continued to persuade him with a smile,
"Xingwen, I won’t bring up the past, but so things are common in the circle. I neither agree with nor oppose Li Li’s actions; it’s all voluntary."
"Li Li indeed went a bit too far, but it’s not unforgivable. How about this, I’ll switch your manager. What do you think?"
Hearing Zhao Tianyu’s words, Ruan Xingwen was further resolute in his decision to terminate the contract, realizing that their paths were irreconcilable.
"President Zhao, there’s no need to persuade . Please sign the termination contract."
Seeing no change in his determination, Zhao Tianyu had to give up. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to lose Ruan Xingwen, but his influential face. Ruan Xingwen’s looks were truly suitable for the entertainnt circle, but unfortunately, his luck had been terrible. No matter how much was invested, he wasn’t getting popular, nor was he taking shortcuts.
He extended his hand, took the termination contract, and sat down on the sofa to read it.
After a while, he spoke again,
"Xingwen, I can agree to the termination, but can you afford the five million termination fee?"
He had investigated Ruan Xingwen and knew that apart from the compensation money from his parents’ incident, he couldn’t have earned such a significant amount in these years.
"You don’t need to worry about that. The termination fee will be paid in full."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyu, though puzzled, still nodded and signed. Signing off soone who wasn’t making profit during the contract span and getting termination paynt at the end was no loss.
"It’s signed, two copies. Rember to transfer the termination fee into the company’s account soon, or legal procedures will be unfavorable for you."
Ruan Xingwen had been with the company for over three years. Even though he didn’t beco famous, he got along well with the people at the company, and Zhao Tianyu didn’t want things to escalate to hostility.
He handed the signed contract back to Ruan Xingwen, sitting opposite.
It was apparent that Ruan Xingwen didn’t agree with how so things were handled in the company. However, he appreciated Zhao Tianyu’s character and didn’t want to make things ugly.
Holding the contract belonging to him with both hands, Ruan Xingwen stood up, bowed, and thanked,
"Rest assured, I’ll send the money soon. Thank you for the care from President Zhao, Sister Li, and the company over the years."
Zhao Tianyu waved his hand,
"Just following the contract terms. Since it’s signed, you may leave first. I still have things to discuss with Li Li."
Zhao Tianyu’s tone clearly indicated he was seeing him off, and Ruan Xingwen was perceptive enough to understand, so he got up and left.
Just as he closed the office door, he heard Zhao Tianyu’s angry yell from inside, along with the sound of a cup shattering,
"Look at what you’ve done! I don’t care about your relationship with Shi Mu! This ti..."
Not listening further, he wasn’t interested in their conversation anyway. What he needed to do now was gather the termination fee.
As he stepped out of Tianyu’s doors, Ruan Xingwen turned back, gazing up at the building where he had spent two years. To say he wasn’t reluctant was impossible, but this was the best outco now.
He discovered not long after joining the company that so agents at Tianyu regularly engaged in such illicit activities, and it wasn’t possible that Zhao Tianyu didn’t know about it, proving he had silently consented.
Initially, he thought Li Li was different. Who could have imagined... Now it’s finally over.
The urgent task now is to gather the termination fee, and he certainly couldn’t co up with that money. He didn’t want to touch his parent’s compensation money either.
Alas, it seems there’s only one way.
Ruan Xingwen took out his phone and found the top-pinned number in his contacts, hesitated for a long ti, and finally pressed to dial. The other side answered quickly, revealing a low, cheerful voice,
"Oh, has Xingxing finally rembered and decided to call?"
