Forced Marriage VIP Front-Seat: My Superstar Ex-wife is very Popular Novel - Chapter 401

Lu Qing became angrier from the other side of the call. “Xia Ning, what indemnity do you have to deprive me of my rights? Whose manager is as worthless as me?”

Worthless? Xia Ning made another cut to cut open the apple. “Let me ask you, whose manager had a more comfortable life like you? You don’t need to go to the set and can stay in the company with a high salary. You don’t even need to do regular business negotiations.”

“It’s because you never gave me the chance. You are always so high-handed and make your own decisions!” Lu Qing refuted.

Xia Ning picked up the apple and carved out the core. “What happened when I let you do the talking? Did you forget what I had to do to keep the role for my first TV show? Did you forget what you told me back then? You said I was so good at business, so I should take care of all the business discussions.”

“I just said it casually.”

“But I took it for real. There’s a saying that words you say are like water you spill. Do you understand? Now you are blaming me for not giving you a chance. But back then, you were the one who threw the chances away.” Xia Ning curled her lips. “Lu Qing, when you blame others, you should also do some introspection.”

“Xia Ning, now you know what to say because you are not the one getting the silent treatment!”

Xia Ning cut the apple into small pieces and said calmly, “You are right. I’m not one getting the silent treatment. So why does it concern me?”

“Xia Ning, you…” Lu Qing’s voice was shaking, obviously annoyed.

“Well, I think there’s nothing to talk about between us. That will be all,” Xia Ning said calmly.

“Ask President Zheng to approve my resignment!” Lu Qing said with arrogance.

Xia Ning saw the phone not too far away and laughed silently. What made her like this? Money? Desire? Or men?

“No way. Who the heck do you think you are that you can get out of the contract so easily? You have to ask if I approve or not. It’s okay if you really want to do so, just pay the 10 million. If you can’t afford it, stop bullsh*ting here. What the hell? Crazy.” Zheng Ziming was deeply annoyed and started shouting.

Seeing Zheng Ziming’s red face, Xia Ning put down the knife and hung up. She looked at him helplessly. “Why are you so mad?”

“Aren’t you angry?” Zheng Ziming darted a look at her and said in an angry tone.

Xia Ning lifted her eyebrows and did not speak.

“Stop pretending with me. Look what you did with the apple.” Zheng Ziming looked at the fruit plate on the tea table.

Xia Ning followed his eyes. She finished cutting without noticing and the apple on the plate was cut into tiny pieces.

Was she mad? Maybe a little.

If she thought about it closely, how did Lu Qing’s contract with that 10 million compensation happen?

Back then, Lu Qing’s artists all left the company and the company was doubtful of her ability. It happened that her contract was reaching the end, so she was facing the risk of being let go. And she just arrived at SE Entertainment, in need of an agent.

She saw Lu Qing crying then and thought she was just like her many years ago. Therefore, she felt compassionate and offered her a job.

Who knew Lu Qing was very stubborn and still wanted to quit.

The HR department asked Lu Qing what it took for her to stay. Lu Qing said that if the company fired her, they needed to compensate her for 10 million CNY. That was the condition for her to stay.

When she heard that from Zheng Ziming back then, she was really surprised. She even thought Lu Qing was a bit childish. Where did she get the confidence that she was worth 10 million? But somehow, she still agreed to it.

It was just a promise to comfort Lu Qing’s heart. Plus, she never really thought she would change agents within a short time. Even if she had to, it would not be a big problem to pay her 10 million.

But she did not think of this day when Lu Qing would shoot herself in the foot.
