Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband - Chapter 2068
2068 Twins
Jiang Mengyu immediately said, “Director Zhang, you might not know this, but Sister Jierou has more than ten million fans on Weibo. The viewership ratings of the TV shows she filmed were all very good. Hengyuan Clothing’s revenue is also thanks to her fans’ contributions. With such achievements, what jewelry and clothes can’t she borrow? Does she still need to rely on others?”
Some people shook their heads secretly, while others nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. Who doesn’t know about Director Qiao’s contribution to the company?”
Lin Heng had already made up his mind and said, “I’ve already thought it through. Qiao Jierou will manage the company. As for Qiao Weiyang…”
He looked at Qiao Weiyang. He had never seen such a cold gaze in her eyes.
It was as if the air was frozen.
Qiao Weiyang didn’t expect Lin Heng to do this either.
It was one thing for her to resign, but it was another thing for her to be fired by Lin Heng.
She had never done anything to let the Lin family down.
Back then, Lin Heng was in a coma after a car accident. She had no choice but to keep the children under Madam Lin’s begging.
When she was pregnant, her daily routine was to stay in her house, work, and go to the hospital. While taking care of him, she supported the Lin family.
The Lin family was a big family with a lot of branches. There were more people fighting for the family assets.
If not for her, those people from the Lin family would have devoured Hengyuan long ago.
Now, he said that Qiao Jierou was qualified for those two positions?
Did she, Qiao Weiyang, have to worship Qiao Jierou with both hands?
“Qiao Weiyang…” Lin Heng’s gaze fell on Qiao Weiyang’s face. “I know you want to develop in the entertainment industry. You’ve already made a comeback, so I don’t want the company’s matters to waste your energy. I hope you can focus on the entertainment industry.”
“President, you’re really… very considerate.” There was no lack of sarcasm in Qiao Weiyang’s tone.
“Hengyuan Entertainment will give you a chance to sign with us. In the future, the company will still take care of you.”
Lin Heng thought that his offer was very generous.
Hengyuan Entertainment was already a reputable entertainment company and had a high reputation in the industry.
As long as Qiao Weiyang was willing to stay, it would definitely not be a problem for her to become famous after her comeback.
As soon as he said this, Qiao Jierou’s jealousy surged.
She didn’t lose control of his expression. It was purely a natural reaction after being a celebrity for a long time.
If Lin Heng kept Qiao Weiyang, what would she do?
She was the top actress in Hengyuan. How would the resources be distributed after Qiao Weiyang joined the company?
There was a venomous look in her eyes.
“President, how can you keep Qiao Weiyang? Have you forgotten how much dirt she has on her name? If you sign her, the company will definitely suffer a huge loss!” Jiang Mengyu immediately objected loudly.
Lin Heng was unmoved. He stared at Qiao Weiyang and handed the contract to her. “Weiyang, Mengyu’s words are rough but reasonable. However, Hengyuan and I are still willing to give you this chance. We won’t owe you anything in the future.”
A cold smile appeared on Qiao Weiyang’s lips.
Of course, she wouldn’t think that Lin Heng was so kind as to insist on keeping her.
He supported Qiao Jierou in taking over the position, but she was stripped of her original position. However, he gave her an offer that could convince everybody else.
In the eyes of the outside world, he had already done his best.
She got what she wanted, didn’t she?
Just by looking at the gazes of her colleagues around her, Qiao Weiyang could understand how good Lin Heng’s move was.
If she didn’t accept his offer, it would seem like she didn’t know how to appreciate favors.
Sure enough, after they stopped loving each other, even his last show of gentleness was all a scheme.
Qiao Weiyang took the contract and said calmly, “President, how much are you planning to pay me for the contract?”
“This…” Lin Heng was stumped.
He had never thought about the problem at all.
It was already not easy for an entertainment company to take in Qiao Weiyang, who was once embroiled in all sorts of scandals. Why did they still need to pay the contract fee?
Jiang Mengyu immediately said, “It’s already good enough that someone wants to sign you. You still want to get paid a contract fee?”
“It turns out that President Lin doesn’t intend to pay me a contract fee. But it doesn’t matter because I don’t intend to sign with you either.” Qiao Weiyang raised the contract. “If no one can get paid a contract fee because of scandals, then no artiste in the entertainment industry will have their rights and interests protected. President Lin, why don’t you sign a few more artistes who don’t need a contract fee and are more famous than me? The returns will be even more generous.”
Everyone secretly calculated in their hearts. It turned out that Lin Heng had no intention of paying the contract fee.
In that case, it was human nature for Qiao Weiyang not to accept this contract.
Lin Heng’s expression changed slightly.
Qiao Jierou also grabbed Jiang Mengyu’s hand, telling her not to interrupt if she didn’t understand the situation.
Qiao Weiyang said to everyone, “My leaving Hengyuan and resigning from my post as the general manager was my own decision. Everyone here has witnessed it. Before President Lin came, I had already announced my resignation.”
“What?” Lin Heng was surprised.
Qiao Weiyang was leaving?
A huge emptiness inexplicably occupied his heart.
He had never thought that she would really leave.
So many things had happened over the years, but she had never left him. Why did she leave him this time?
Qiao Weiyang said word by word, “I was already planning to leave. The position I’m leaving behind is up to you to deal with. You don’t need to communicate with me or even inform me. As for my return to the entertainment industry, I’ve already discussed it with a company I like. I won’t accept your kind offer.”
She made the position of general manager sound as if it was something that could be thrown away at will.
Qiao Jierou felt indignant.
Originally, she had snatched the position of general manager from Qiao Weiyang and felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
Now, it had become trash that Qiao Weiyang didn’t want and Qiao Jierou took over.
What was the point of getting such a thing?
Qiao Weiyang nodded at everyone and thanked them for their many years of pleasant cooperation. She turned around and walked out.
“Sister!” Qiao Jierou stopped her. “Thank you for your efforts in helping Hengyuan in the past few years. The sales of the clothes you designed for Hengyuan were good. You can take away any designs that weren’t used. However, I hope you won’t take away those that have already been used. Although they’re all your hard work, it’s inevitable that many copyright problems will be involved. I’m doing this for your own good. I don’t want you to be implicated.”
Her kind reminder made the others react.
Qiao Weiyang was not only a manager, but she was also in charge of the design of many clothes.
If she wanted to leave, some things had to be cut off cleanly.
Qiao Weiyang stopped in her tracks.
On one hand, Lin Heng seized the opportunity to flatter himself.
