The other side of the call sounded with Lu Qing’s angry voice. “What did I do to offend you that you have to trick me like this, Xia Ning? You are not a human being!”
Even Zheng Ziming heard her words. He frowned a little. “So it’s that f*cking moron Lu Qing again. Asteria, let me talk to her!”
Xia Ning darted a look at him and gestured for him to eat his apple.
But Zheng Ziming was not happy. He stared at Xia Ning’s phone in her hand.
Xia Ning knew what he wanted and put the call on speaker mode directly.
“I don’t understand. How did I trick you?” Xia Ning said to the phone.
Lu Qing’s voice followed. “Don’t you deny it. What’s wrong with my contract?”
“What does your contract have to do with me?” Xia Ning frowned slightly.
“Don’t pretend. If I default, I’ll have to pay 10 million. I don’t believe you don’t know about this!” Lu Qing said coldly.
“Why do I have to know about it?” Xia Ning asked back.
“I signed this contract after you got into the company. You are the second-biggest shareholder of the company and I’m your manager. There’s no way you don’t know about this.”
Xia Ning put her phone on the tea table and she herself sat on the couch. She took another apple and started peeling.
“Yes, I know. And?”
“10 million. You must be crazy. This is not fair!” Lu Qing roared.
Xia Ning curled her lips. “What you said sounds different from the contract.”
“What?”
“The contract states that for the parties who signs it, either party will have to pay 10 million CNY if they default, and if the agent has no big mistake at work, the company cannot fire the agent. As for the definition of a big mistake at work, it’s events that have international impact. Therefore, there’s no way you can default. Under this circ.u.mstance, the only party who can default is really the company. So if you think that’s unfair, I think it’s unfair too.” Xia Ning smirked.
On the other side of the phone, Lu Qing went into a long silence before she said again, “Whatever. Xia Ning, I want to get out of the contract!”
“You shouldn’t be looking for me then. I don’t interfere with SE Entertainment’s internal operations.”
“But you owe me this!” Lu Qing shouted out loud.
Xia Ning put more strength in her hand suddenly and the apple skin was cut. She stared at the half-peeled apple in her hand and started peeling it casually.
“That’s interesting.”
“Xia Ning, do you know your casual att.i.tude upsets people?! As if you are the only smart one, and everyone else is stupid.”
Zheng Ziming could not hear it anymore. “But you are a f*cking moron indeed!”
Xia Ning looked up and threw a look at Zheng Ziming, asking him not to talk.
Zheng Ziming smirked. This kind of people needed it, okay?
“And you are still saying you have nothing to do with Young Master Zheng. He’s been away for so many days, so he must be with you! Xia Ning, you are good.” Lu Qing’s ironic voice sounded.
Xia Ning finished peeling the apple and put it on a plate. She then started cutting it.
“You said I owed you. So let’s talk. What exactly do I owe you?” Xia Ning cut the apple in half directly.
“Ever since I became your manager, have you ever taken me as your manager? Did you ever tell me what decisions you made? Did you show any respect to me at all?”
Xia Ning curled her lips and made another cut. “I remember telling you the first day you became my manager that I didn’t need a manager. But artists use managers, therefore, anyone would work for me. But I would not tell you everything about me. You said it was fine as long as you had work to do. Lu Qing, don’t you forget who gave you the job.” She stopped for a second. “Also, what I gave you, I can take it back.”
