Jiang Zhi was almost amused by her haughtiness.

“Do you think ‘beacon’ is a roadside stall and you can just get as you wish?

“This has been Huacheng’s biggest investment in recent years. From writers to directors, they were all carefully selected.

“Especially the actors. Even if they are beautiful, they had to go through multiple auditions to win the hearts of the people.”

Jiang Zhi almost wrote the words “You are not worthy” on her face.

“What role do you think you would get?”

Other than her face, Yin Yue did not have any other talents. Her acting skills and singing skills could only be considered average. Because of her personality, she basically turned her nose up at all variety shows. She did not have any competitive spirit whatsoever.

Jiang Zhi’s words were like a heavy slap on Yin Yue’s face.

She had debuted for so many years and had always been coddled by the company. She was used to shouting at the company.

Seeing that her request had been rejected and that she had been humiliated, Yin Yue was like a stray cat whose tail had been stepped on. She immediately flared up.

“Stop trying to fool me! To put it bluntly, the company is incompetent!

“These past few years, if it weren’t for the company begging me, do you think I would be happy to stay in this lousy place?!

“You can’t even get me a better role, you’re simply trash! Yet you still have the face to be picky in front of me? Fine, if you’re not satisfied with me, we’ll take the opportunity to terminate the contract!”

Yin Yue’s arrogance completely took the upper hand. Seeing Jiang Zhi’s beautiful face, which was even more beautiful than hers, Yin Yue’s eyes were filled with jealousy. She sarcastically said,

“CEO Jiang, this job is like pleasing a man. You can’t do it well just because you work hard.

“I have my own channels to get the resources for ‘beacon’. If the company can’t do it, then terminate the contract as soon as possible. No one should keep me here any longer!”

Jiang Zhi frowned and her eyes were cold.

An employee was running her mouth off at her. Did they really think she was a pushover?

Just as she was about to flare up, Ji Hao quickly pulled her to the side. With a bitter smile on his face, he spoke in a low voice.

“CEO Jiang, I suggest you agree to her conditions.”

Jiang Zhi’s brows furrowed even tighter. “Why?”

It was because the company had allowed Yin Yue to be arrogant in the past and fulfilled all of her requirements that Yin Yue’s arrogance was now at its peak.

In the long run, how would the company manage the other artistes?

As a senior corporate agent, how could ji Hao not understand this logic?

However, the current situation of the company was completely out of their hands.

“CEO Jiang, you haven’t been managing the company in the past few years, so you’re not clear about the specific situation.

“The company’s in a very poor state right now, and the number of internal employees can be counted on one hand.

“In addition, the working capital chain is about to break. At this juncture, we absolutely can not let Yin Yue terminate her contract!”

Although Yin Yue was only a C-list celebrity, she could already be considered a pillar of the company.

Once she terminated the contract with Yin Yue, the company would most likely declare bankruptcy.

Yin Yue seemed to be very familiar with the situation of the company, so she was not afraid of terminating the contract at all. Her eyes were filled with pride and provocation.

“Director Jiang, have you considered it?”

She impatiently urged him and lazily played with her newly created nails.

Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment as she looked at the performance contract on the table.

In order to force the company to give in, Yin Yue even brought the performance contract that she had signed back then.

Even though she was clear about the current situation of the company, she still acted on her own. She never considered the predicament the company was facing.

Her index finger slowly tapped on the table. Jiang Zhi pondered for a moment and asked, “Yin Yue, how long have you been in the company?

“Why? Are you playing the relationship card with Me Now?”

A trace of disdain flashed across Yin Yue’s eyes. She did not take Jiang Zhi seriously at all.

A woman who could not even control her own husband only knew how to win sympathy on Weibo. She was weak and had no opinions. Yin Yue did not take Jiang Zhi seriously at all.

“Director Jiang, my time is limited. Don’t come up with these fake pleasantries.

“If I don’t see the contract for ‘Beacon’ today, I’ll terminate the contract immediately!”

Jiang Zhi nodded calmly in response to her threat.

“Then let’s talk.”

Yin Yue was stunned for a moment. “Talk about what?”

“Talk about how much compensation you’ll have to pay for breaking the contract after you break it.

Jiang Zhi smiled at her and immediately dialed a number. “Please ask lawyer Zhang to come over.”

Yin Yue could not believe her ears. She looked at Jiang Zhi in shock, and her sharp voice almost shattered the glass.

“You really dare to cancel the contract?!”
