Chapter 411 Yang Yufan is confident
Jiang Youli's expression didn't change much. She said calmly, "I only did this to clear my name and to send your father, Jiang Yangxu, to prison. Saving your mother was just a side effect."
Jiang Zhao felt a pang of bitterness welling up in his heart as he listened to Jiang Youli's words.
He understood Jiang Youli's meaning, of course, but the fact that his mother had been rescued was undeniable.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I know, but it's also a fact that you saved my mother."
Jiang Zhao's words lingered in the air for a moment, then, as if he had made a great decision, he continued, "Then I'll go first. Let me say goodbye in advance... Goodbye. Perhaps you would prefer that we never see each other again."
Jiang Youli answered without hesitation, "That's right."
Jiang Zhao gave a bitter smile, then turned and left.
His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying the weight of the whole world.
Jiang Youli's gaze followed his figure until his back completely disappeared from sight before she slowly looked away.
Jiang Youli's gaze returned to the computer screen, and she couldn't help but wonder what it was like to have two older brothers.
Unfortunately, she will never experience it firsthand.
……
After leaving Starlight Entertainment, Jiang Zhao went to Dafeng Entertainment, intending to talk to Zheng Zegang, who had recruited him, about terminating his contract.
Who knew that Zheng Zegang would just come out of the personnel department.
"Manager Zheng, I need to talk to you..."
"Don't bother me with anything anymore, I've been fired." Zheng Zegang met Jiang Zhao's surprised gaze and explained, "As you know, when I suggested to Chairman Yu that we poach you, it was because I valued your talent and believed you could bring considerable profits to Dafeng Entertainment. But who knew you would lose so badly in your head-to-head battle with Jiang Youli, plus the Yu Hongtu incident caused Dafeng Entertainment's stock to plummet! Well, Chairman Yu isn't happy about it. He promised us double our salaries if we switched from Xingguang Entertainment, but now he's done with it and is firing all of us employees who came from Xingguang Entertainment!"
Jiang Zhao was taken aback. "They all resigned?"
Zheng Zegang said, "That's right, they've all been fired! Because we're still in our probationary period, and we haven't even received any compensation yet!"
Then they started cursing:
"What a fucking bastard! If I hadn't left Starlight Entertainment, I would be living a much better life now, working for Jiang Youli!"
Jiang Zhao felt increasingly bitter.
Zheng Zegang's words perfectly reflected his own feelings at that moment.
At this moment, a noisy commotion came from the HR department behind Zheng Zegang. It was all employees who had jumped ship from Starlight Entertainment protesting.
"Isn't Dafeng Entertainment going too far? This is like using us and then discarding us! We only switched jobs because you promised us double pay, and now you're just firing us like that!"
"That's right, I've kept all the emails you sent me!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zegang scoffed, "What's the use of protesting? We haven't even signed a formal employment contract yet. We have a three-month probationary period."
"Who would have thought back then? Dafeng Entertainment is the oldest entertainment company in Beijing, with the Long family as its backer. There's no way it could go under. Even if they didn't give us double pay, as long as we were doing better than we did at Starlight Entertainment, that would have been fine. Who knew..."
"Heh, forget it. At this rate, Dafeng Entertainment will go under sooner or later. There's no point in staying here."
After venting his anger, Zheng Zegang asked Jiang Zhao, "What did you want to see me about?"
Jiang Zhao said, "I wanted to talk to you about terminating the contract."
Zheng Zegang scoffed, "Why don't you go directly to Chairman Yu? If you bring up terminating the contract now, Chairman Yu should be very happy. After all, cash is more worthwhile for him now than continuing to support and flatter you."
He paused, puzzled, "But where did you get the penalty for breach of contract?"
Jiang Zhao explained, "A foreign company wants to sign me and will pay the breach of contract penalty for me."
Zheng Zegang sneered again, "You've got some talent, and you're lucky enough to be able to develop your career abroad. Unlike me, everyone in the industry knows I betrayed my old employer and switched jobs. I doubt anyone in the industry would dare to hire me."
"Looking at it this way, we really are both in the same boat. You should have had a very talented younger sister. If nothing unexpected had happened, your sister might have written many songs for you, allowing you to reach unprecedented heights in the music industry. As for me, after your older brother Jiang Xing was kicked out of the company and your sister Jiang Youli took over, if I had kept a steady mindset and continued to work my way up, I might have been able to take my career to the next level. What a pity."
"Good luck to you."
After saying that, Zheng Zegang sighed and left.
Before long, the other employees who had jumped ship from Starlight Entertainment also came out of the HR department one after another, leaving with angry or regretful faces.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have switched jobs back then. I don't know how great it would be now."
"Yes, I was advising my colleague who was switching jobs with me before. She recently said that her salary has increased and she will also receive a large bonus at the end of the year."
"Starlight Entertainment's stock has skyrocketed so much lately, I'm tempted to buy some! If it keeps going up, I can at least use the money I make from stocks to get through my unemployment period!"
Upon seeing Jiang Zhao standing not far from the entrance, the employees were taken aback, immediately shut their mouths, and looked at each other with strange expressions.
After leaving Jiang Zhao's side, the employees began to whisper among themselves again.
"Thinking about it carefully, no matter how badly we are, we are not as badly as Jiang Zhao."
"That's right. He used to be a rich young master, but now he's been kicked out of his home. I heard his dad even went to jail."
"A money tree that was within their reach was pushed away by this family. Who can they blame for their current predicament?"
However, Jiang Zhao still heard these words.
His heart clenched tightly.
It hurts.
It really hurts.
Although he pretended to be able to accept it calmly when he went to Starlight Entertainment to find his sister Jiang Youli, his heart still ached involuntarily when he heard these discussions.
If only he had gone to the village with his older brother and parents to pick up his younger sister, Jiang Youli...
If only he hadn't been so heartless as to try to stop his sister Jiang Youli from getting back on track, he would have almost wanted to kill her...
Why is it that there are no "what ifs" in life?
Jiang Zhao didn't grieve for long. After pulling himself together, he quickly walked to Chairman Yu's office door. Just as he was about to knock, he suddenly heard Chairman Yu's earnest voice coming from inside the half-open door.
"Director Zhang, Yang Yufan, the success of 'Legend of Fuyao' depends entirely on you two! You absolutely cannot let me down!"
Jiang Zhao's heart stirred, and after a moment's hesitation, he removed his hand that was gently resting on the door.
Inside the door, Chairman Yu was sitting behind a large desk, with Director Zhang Bufan and Yang Yufan sitting opposite him.
"Chairman Yu, all I can say is that I will try my best, but the current public opinion environment is really too unfavorable for Dafeng Entertainment." Director Zhang Bufan frowned and said with a helpless expression.
Chairman Yu expressed his understanding of Director Zhang Bufan's concerns, but then added, "Director Zhang, this is also an opportunity to prove that you are better than Director Liang Shenggui!"
Director Zhang Bufan remained silent for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze to Yang Yufan sitting to the side, as if seeking his opinion.
Seeing this, Yang Yufan smiled slightly and said, "The reason I have achieved what I have today in all these years in the industry is because I have never given up halfway. Director Zhang, you don't need to worry too much. With me here, the drama 'Legend of Fuyao' will definitely not lose to 'The Legend of Chusen'."
