Jiang Zhi crossed her hands in front of her, revealing an official, emotionless smile.

“Since you’re the one who wants to terminate the contract, I only agreed to your request. All I’m asking is for the compensation according to the performance contract.”

Yin Yue froze on the spot, her face turning green and white.

She had no intention of terminating the contract at all. She only wanted to use this to pressure the company so that they would agree to her rude request.

It had worked every time in the past, so why did it not work this time?!

“Jiang Zhi, get it straight.

Yin Yue’s tone carried a threat. “This lousy company of yours, once you ditch me, you’ll be nothing!

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhi just leaned back and looked at Yin Yue as if she was looking at a joke.

“Cut the crap, Yin Yue. You think too highly of yourself.”

Yin Yue thought of herself as the anchor of the company, but now that Jiang Zhi was ridiculing her, she was furious.

She sneered at Jiang Zhi, thinking that she was just putting on an act.

“Then I look forward to seeing how far your lousy company goes without me!”

Jiang Zhi smiled but didn’t say anything. When lawyer Zhang arrived and the liquidation of the performance contract was completed, he quickly came up with the data.

“Miss Yin will have to pay the company five million for breaching the contract.”

“Five million?!”

Yin Yue originally thought it was only a few hundred thousand, but her voice suddenly became louder as she glared at Jiang Zhi angrily.

“Why don’t you go ahead and rob me?”

“It’s written clearly in black and white. Even if you go to court, there’s no chance of winning.”

Jiang Zhi pushed the contract in front of Yin Yue with one hand. Yin Yue’s face completely darkened. She had been in a hurry to find the company to support her back then, so she barely breezed through the contract.

Her mind started racing, but Jiang Zhi seemed to have noticed it, and her tone was slightly cold.

“I advise you to settle this privately.”

Yin Yue’s eyes trembled, and Jiang Zhi continued, “This kind of lawsuit takes a long time, and the chances of you winning are not high. I have time to waste with you, but as a celebrity, if you are entangled in this kind of lawsuit, I’m afraid your reputation will also be affected, right?”

Seeing that Yin Yue pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, Jiang Zhi stretched her back.

“But if you insist on going through the judicial channels, I’ll accompany you to the end.”

She supported her chin with one hand and looked at Yin Yue with a fake smile. “Sign it?”

Yin Yue clenched her fingers.

Five million was not a small amount even for her.

But when she thought of the promise the financier had made to her and the news from “Beacon”…

Yin Yue hardened her heart and quickly signed her name on the settlement letter with a straight face. She put down the pen and turned to leave.

“Wait!”

Jiang Zhi called out to her. Yin Yue turned around with a belly full of anger.

“Director Jiang, what else do you want to teach me?”

Jiang Zhi pushed a card in front of her and gently nodded. “Transfer the money first.”

She was afraid that she would renege on her promise!

Yin Yuefei was so angry that she was about to explode. She snatched the phone from her manager’s hand and angrily transferred the liquidated damages over.

Before she left, she raised her chin and glared at Jiang Zhi with hatred.

“This sum of money, treat it as my deportation fee! Jiang Zhi, I will wait for the day your company goes bankrupt!”

Hearing the crisp and melodious sound of the bank receipt, Jiang Zhi was in a good mood. Yin Yue’s manager also stepped forward shakily. “Director Jiang, this is my resignation report.”

Her eyes were filled with anxiety. She was afraid that Jiang Zhi would suddenly pull out a contract and ask him to compensate her five million yuan.

Jiang Zhi only gave her a light glance before she casually agreed.

Ji Hao watched helplessly as Yin Yue and her manager left. His eyes were filled with despair.

“CEO Jiang, if she leaves, what will happen to the company?”

Jiang Zhi put away the initial capital of the company properly and hummed a tune happily. “Of course there are other ways.”

She asked Ji Hao to inform all the employees to go to the conference room. Half an hour later, they were all scattered.

Looking at the listless internal employees, Jiang Zhi directly dropped a bombshell. “We’ve terminated Yin Yue’s contract.”

Sure enough, the employees all showed desperate expressions.

“Even Yin Yue has left. There’s a high chance that there’s no hope.”

“The company won’t go bankrupt, right? I haven’t seen my salary for a few months…”

Jiang Zhi knocked on the table and said in an exceptionally firm tone, “The company will definitely not go bankrupt!”

Her eyes shone brightly as she scanned the area inch by inch. “Now, who else wants to leave the company?”

After a moment of silence, two-thirds of the employees raised their hands.

Ji Hao felt so guilty that tears were about to come out of his eyes. He looked as desolate as a monkey scattering after a tree was toppled.

“Very good.”

Jiang Zhi nodded. “Those who want to leave, go to the finance department and collect the salary arrears. Those who are willing to stay, all of you get another three months’ salary!”
