Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 34
Jian Meiyi cried out in disbelief, "Do you have any idea what you’re saying? I’m a top domestic celebrity, and I have a contract with JJ for shooting advertisements. You want to kick me out just like that? Are you trying to breach the contact? Aren’t you afraid of being sued?"
"You have a contract?" Huo Zhenyang’s eyebrows paused, and a few traces of coldness appeared, as he waved his hand dismissively, "Since Miss Jiang looks down on JJ so much and thinks she has plenty of film and advertisement offers to choose from, why stay and feel wronged? After all, there are many stars JJ can choose from. Samuel, according to the contract, pay Miss Jiang double the agreed compensation for the breach!"
Samuel cleared his throat softly and glanced at the manager of the advertising department, "Why are you hesitating?"
The advertising department manager came to his senses, and realizing that the president was indeed angry this time, he went over to escort Jian Meiyi and her assistant out, "Miss Jiang, please..."
"Don’t touch me!" Jian Meiyi shook off the manager’s hand, still not giving up, she glared at the imperious man before her, half-warning, half-pleading:
"Are you sure you want to terminate the contract with me? Do you know how expensive my penalty fee is? Double? Ha, how generous of you, do you even know how much that is?"
The man’s face showed a hint of inexplicable amusement. He leaned forward, slightly stooping, his voice low and disdainful, "What the Huo Family doesn’t lack, is money."
Jian Meiyi froze as if encased in ice.
The man before her definitely wasn’t terminating the contract with her over a resentful remark she had just made; the real reason was for...
She turned her head and glared venomously at the girl who was removing her makeup, her fists crackling with tension.
The diamond bachelor and godlike figure she had always pursued, time and again had shattered her dignity in public for this nobody girl.
Today, she merely wanted that nobody girl to serve as her background.
And yet, for the sake of venting anger on behalf of that nobody girl, he was willing to forgo an eight-figure sum to terminate the contract with her!
"Bitch, what’s so good about you? What kind of tricks have you played!? Just wait; I’ll make sure you get what’s coming to you." Jian Meiyi muttered threats under her breath, shaking with anger, yet still standing her ground.
Huo Zhenyang watched as she glared at Jiayi with murderous intent, his eyelashes fluttering before he gave the advertising department manager a sideways glance.
Seeing the grave and displeased look on the Boss’s face, the manager quickly stepped forward, no longer polite, "Miss Jiang, our company has already terminated the contract with you. A specialized department will send a lawyer’s letter to your agency shortly. Please leave quickly. Otherwise, I’ll have to call security, and that won’t look good."
Was she not even allowed to stay for another minute?
Was she, a queen of the screen, regarded as a cockroach or a rat?
Jian Meiyi bit her lip, feeling like she was about to spit blood but could only leave in a rush with her assistant, disgracefully.
Jiayi didn’t look at Jian Meiyi, but she could feel the hateful gaze directed at her before she left.
Once the person left, she sighed in relief.
If Huo Zhenyang hadn’t arrived in time, who knows how long Jian Meiyi would have tormented her!
But, terminating the contract with a star of Jian Meiyi’s caliber must cost a lot, right?
Was that man... really angered by Jian Meiyi’s words, or was it because of her?
She took a deep breath and clenched her little fist gently, tapping her head, "What am I thinking?"
Jian Meiyi was so arrogant, not even sparing Samuel and JJ a thought, so Huo Zhenyang wouldn’t allow someone to act recklessly under his watch; he must have been enraged.
Why would it be for her?
After removing the layers of sunburn makeup and revealing her fair skin again, Jiayi picked up her own clothes and headed to the changing room behind the set.
Upon entering the quiet changing room, she was just about to pull the curtain when a large hand came in, lifting it!
She stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the tall man who had stepped in.
The man stood still, his cold gaze fixing on her, his displeasure so intense it could freeze mosquitoes dead.
The matter of terminating the contract with Jian Meiyi had something to do with her, after all. Was he displeased because of this, choosing to confront her in private?
She felt a little guilty, "Is the compensation for the termination... very expensive? How much?"
"Enough to acquire a mid-sized company that employs several hundred people," the man replied with a casual tone, seeming not to want to scare her, so he wasn’t very explicit.
But she was already terrified!
To sustain a mid-sized company with hundreds of employees? My God.
"Actually, there’s no need to breach the contract..." It’s not that big of a deal.
Huo Zhenyang saw her clutching the corner of her clothes like a child who had done something wrong and spoke in a low growl, "What if I said it was for you?"
Jiayi was stunned.
Was it really for her that he had driven Jiang Meiyi away?
No—please don’t let it be!
A mid-sized company, she couldn’t afford the compensation, how many years would she have to play his girlfriend!
Help!
Jiayi had a gloomy face and hurriedly changed the subject: "It’s working hours now, can we talk about this later when we get back? It’s not good if people see us."
Even now, this girl was still afraid of being seen?
Huo Zhenyang inexplicably felt some annoyance:
"What, is it embarrassing to be known as my woman?"
His voice was restrained and chilling, yet his breath was scorching.
The man’s domineering presence was suffocating Jiayi.
"It’s not that..." Jiayi turned her cheek away.
The coldness in the man’s laugh made one shiver: "Then why are you so unwilling to make it public?"
This...
If she honestly told him at this moment that she was only putting on an act with him and that she still wanted to find her own identity, return to her own family, and didn’t want to get too entangled with him, that going public might cause a lot of trouble later—would this man kill her?
That’s why Jiayi wisely kept silent.
Huo Zhenyang was not pleased with her silence, his gaze growing even more intense:
"Or is it that you already have a man you like, which is why you always try to avoid other men?"
"I don’t have... I can’t even remember who I am, how could I have someone I like?" She was so afraid of being seen that she forcefully pushed him away.
Huo Zhenyang felt a bit relieved upon hearing this.
Seeing the girl getting more and more nervous, fearful of others coming over, he fixed her with a glance and left first.
When Jiayi went out, she realized Huo Zhenyang had already left, but the advertising manager and the photographer were in a panic.
With Jiang Meiyi gone, the lead actress for the advertisement was missing, where could they find a replacement at the last minute?
Keep in mind, JJ is a high-end cosmetics company, and only top-tier celebrities in the country are qualified to endorse JJ.
But the schedules of big stars are fully booked, and negotiations usually need to start at least two months in advance, finding someone to fill Jiang Meiyi’s shoes now would be difficult!
The time slots for TV and various magazine ads had all been booked and couldn’t be postponed.
What to do now!
The advertising manager looked at Samuel with a troubled expression, "General Manager Gu..."
Samuel’s gaze shifted, landing on the girl who had just come out of the changing room.
