Yu Linwan was surprised to see Yu Yinyin, and even more surprised that Yu Yinyin was accompanied by the infamous troublemaker from the Bai family in the capital – Bai Yuqi!
When Yu Yinyin saw Yu Linwan, for some reason, she felt an instinctive fear and nervousness.
She hunched her shoulders, her back stooped, her eyes afraid to meet Yu Linwan’s gaze. The entire person appeared weak and easily bullied.
Seeing Yu Yinyin’s posture, Yu Linwan held her in contempt from the bottom of her heart.
She then turned her attention directly to Bai Yuqi and asked with a slight smile, “What brings Young Master Bai here?”
“Your office decor is quite nice.” Bai Yuqi had his hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping around. When he saw the inverted photo frame on the desk, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
Yu Linwan noticed Bai Yuqi’s gaze, her eyes flickered, and then she nimbly reached out to right the photo frame, her smile becoming a little stiff.
“I heard your company’s contracts are quite outrageous. Firing people without reason and extorting 200,000 yuan?” Bai Yuqi finally withdrew his gaze, directly pulled out a chair and sat down, casually crossing his legs with a nonchalant, dissolute air.
“Young Master Bai is joking. All the contracts in our company are certified by first-class law firms, and all procedures are compliant. If Young Master Bai doesn’t believe…” Before Yu Linwan could finish speaking, Bai Yuqi interrupted her.
“No need for all that nonsense. When I took on my first case related to contracts at my detective agency, your fiancé hadn’t even changed yet. I’m more familiar with this than you are.” Bai Yuqi chuckled, his words causing Yu Linwan’s expression to change immediately.
“However, I’m too lazy to bother with it. Come on, I’ve got the money ready. Sign the final termination contract.” Bai Yuqi clasped his hands behind his head, his tone lazy.
Seeing Bai Yuqi like this, Yu Linwan gritted her teeth, glanced at Yu Yinyin again, and her lips turned downwards. She instructed someone to prepare the final termination contract, specifically noting, “Yu Yinyin is here to terminate the contract. Prepare the contract, the ‘final’ termination contract.”
While waiting, Yu Linwan looked at Yu Yinyin and said casually, “I didn’t expect you to know Young Master Bai? If you had said so earlier, we wouldn’t have had all this unpleasantness, right?”
Hearing Yu Linwan’s words, Yu Yinyin shrank back guiltily. She didn’t know Young Master Bai at all.
At most, she had benefited from someone’s kindness, and she was the one being patronized.
“What are you talking about? How come I didn’t know I had so much influence in President Yu’s eyes?” Bai Yuqi scoffed, “As expected of a businesswoman. Speaking differently to different people, playing the game very skillfully.”
“Not at all, it’s just business. I think Yinyin is talented, I just wanted to try and keep her.” Yu Linwan chuckled and said, “Yinyin, actually, I think your voice is quite good. If you’re interested, you could transition to behind-the-scenes work. I think Mo Jianing’s image and your voice are a perfect match.”
Upon hearing that Yu Linwan wanted her to be Mo Jianing’s voice double, Yu Yinyin shivered.
She had suffered so much, endured so much injustice, and in the end, she was still expected to be Mo Jianing’s voice double!
“I don’t want to!” Yu Yinyin directly refused loudly. This was the only thing she absolutely would not do!
Seeing Yu Yinyin’s firm refusal, Bai Yuqi and Yu Linwan were both stunned for a moment.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary arrived with the final termination documents, nodding subtly to Yu Linwan.
Yu Linwan knew then that the secretary had understood her unspoken instructions. She smiled, picked up the contract, and walked towards Yu Yinyin, “Meeting Young Master Bai is also your good fortune. Sign it, and then the contract will be completely terminated.”
“Mm.” Yu Yinyin took the contract and felt that it was a thick stack. When they first registered for the competition, it was only three to five pages. Why was the termination contract so thick?
Moreover, the wording was very formal and contained many professional legal terms, which Yu Yinyin didn’t fully understand.
After flipping through only two or three pages, Yu Yinyin was about to sign.
“Hold on.” Bai Yuqi directly took the contract from Yu Yinyin’s hand and glanced at her lazily, “You’re just going to take that 200,000 yuan loss? Hmm? You dare to sign without reading it thoroughly? Aren’t you afraid of losing more money?”
Hearing Bai Yuqi’s words, Yu Yinyin also jolted.
But then she thought, this was the final termination contract, it shouldn’t be able to trick her again, right?
Besides, didn’t they already pay her 200,000 yuan?
It shouldn’t be like that…
Yu Linwan’s expression changed, and her lips curled downwards, as if she found Bai Yuqi too talkative.
Bai Yuqi had noticed earlier how Yu Linwan had given unnecessary emphasis when instructing the secretary.
He also didn’t miss the subtle interaction between the secretary and Yu Linwan when the contracts were delivered.
Now, after flipping through the contract, Bai Yuqi chuckled, “President Yu’s calculation is truly ingenious. Not only did she snatch 200,000 yuan, but she also wants to prohibit her from engaging in any performing activities for life?”
Hearing Bai Yuqi’s words, Yu Yinyin’s face turned pale. She looked at Yu Linwan in disbelief, her ears buzzing.
She had never harmed anyone, nor had she ever offended Yu Linwan. How could Yu Linwan do this to her…
“Yu Yinyin received training at our company, so it is natural to prevent our company’s confidential information from being leaked and take some reasonable measures to avoid suspicion.” Yu Linwan raised her chin slightly, her attitude arrogant. “Besides, it only prevents her from being in front of the camera. Transitioning to behind-the-scenes work is perfectly fine.”
“Yes, so you can be a voice double and be controlled by you for the rest of your life.” Bai Yuqi slammed the thick stack of contracts onto the table, his usually lazy voice suddenly filled with coldness. “President Yu, people need face, trees need bark. How can you do something so shameless?”
He paused, then returned to his usual flippant demeanor and continued, “Ah, that’s right. You’ve done many shameless things, haven’t you?”
“You!” Yu Linwan knew Bai Yuqi was referring to her and Gu Yaoyang’s affairs again. Coupled with the fact that the manipulation in the contract had been discovered, Yu Linwan became enraged and was about to lash out when Bai Yuqi interrupted her.
“President Yu, may I ask which first-class law firm certified this contract? What a grand gesture, restricting someone’s life? To my knowledge, only criminal law can prohibit criminals from engaging in related industries.
Does President Yu have the same rights as criminal law? Surely not? I think President Yu is aspiring to be an outlaw, aren’t you?” Bai Yuqi tapped his fingertips on the documents on the table, “Even Zhang San isn’t as crazy as you. Perhaps I should work a bit harder and investigate what other violations your company has committed? After all, I’m idle, right?”
