An Yuan did not want to listen anymore. She could not help but retort, “You’re thinking too much! Not everyone is as despicable as you think!”
“You mean that I’m despicable as well?” Xue Zhen was flustered as she continued, “Little Yuan, do you think you can do whatever you want just because the contract is about to expire? I’m genuinely doing this for your own good. Is this how you reciprocate?”
An Yuan closed her eyes and felt that it was unnecessary to say anything more to Xue Zhan. “No matter what, I promised Little Jiu that I would eat with her. I can’t go back on my words.”
“Isn’t she just a brat who doesn’t know anything? Is she worth your effort when they’re just going to use you to boost their popularity?”
“Yes, it’s worth it.” An Yuan’s gaze was mocking. “Even if I am treated as a springboard for them, I don’t mind.”
She then walked past Xue Zhen.
Xue Zhen was so furious that she didn’t know what to say. Looking at An Yuan’s retreating back, she suddenly thought of something and called out, “Little Yuan, wait a moment! I have something to ask you.”
An Yuan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. “If you want to ask me whether I will extend my contract with the company or not, I will tell you clearly that I won’t.”
Xue Zhen indeed wanted to ask this question. When she heard this answer, her face suddenly darkened. “You’ve already made a decision?”
“Yes.”
“When?”
An Yuan’s lips twitched. “Since a long time ago. Are you satisfied?”
A long time ago?
She wanted to get rid of me?
Xue Zhen felt like coughing blood. She had been taking care of An Yuan ever since the latter had debuted, and all she had wanted was to make her famous and a big star. Now that An Yuan had really become a big star, she wanted to abandon her roots!
She’s so eager to get rid of me and find a new boss. How heartless! She doesn’t care about our relationship at all.
“Little Yuan, if you insist on leaving, you might regret it. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to find another manager who will spend so much effort on you. I’ve treated you as my daughter all these years. How can your next manager be as caring as me?”
Hearing the warning in her words, An Yuan frowned and glanced sideways at her. “I don’t need anyone to treat me as a daughter. I only need a manager who can treat me as a person and not as a money-making tool in a way where I don’t even have basic human rights!”
Xue Zhen naturally wouldn’t admit it, nor did she feel that she had done anything wrong. Thus, she immediately refuted her, “I only treat you as a money-making tool? Little Yuan, you can’t speak nonsense! Since when have I taken your human rights?
“Oh, if I don’t let you fall in love, you don’t have human rights? Could it be that you really like Su Shengjing? He’s just a useless man. Now, he’s relying on his daughter to get to where he is. I wonder what you like about him…”
“That’s enough!” An Yuan interrupted her. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. “It’s useless no matter what you say. I’ve already made my decision.”
“Are you really that heartless?”
An Yuan seemed to have heard something funny. “Heartless? The contract I signed with you is the same one I signed a few years ago when I debuted. I’ve never changed it. According to that contract, you and the company get the biggest share of the money I earn while I only get a small portion. What else do you want?”
It was because of this clause that Xue Zhen wanted An Yuan to work under her all the time. After all, there wouldn’t be any big celebrities willing to sign such an unfair contract.. Only small celebrities who had just debuted had no choice but to sign it.
