Chapter 115
"Reward" triggered some memories.
Li Zhen's hand suddenly felt very sore!
Scary, scary!
She took a step back, "Mr. Lu, I don't have anything good to reward you with, so I'll go home first."
Lu Yanming wanted to reach out and grab her.
Li Zhen had already run away quickly.
She wouldn't be able to go back to Huayang Famous Door until the end of the month.
The next day, Li Zhen went to the film and television city first, then went back to the Honghai headquarters to get some information.
From the moment she entered the building, her eyes never stopped following her.
Wherever she went, there was always whispering behind her.
"She's President Yu's ex-wife?"
"Yeah, the hand model from the advertising department."
"If I had known President Yu's standards were so low, I would have rushed for it too!"
"The two of them will probably both be fired..."
"What a pity, President Yu got dragged down by this woman."
"It's really not worth it for a small hand model, President Yu is confused!"
Li Zhen was too lazy to pay any attention to them.
After getting the information from the advertising department, Li Zhen suddenly received a call from Wang Peng's assistant, asking her to go to Wang Peng's office.
When she pushed open the door,
Wang Peng was sitting on the sofa, looking worriedly conflicted while drinking tea.
Jiang Keyan sat ramrod straight to one side, puffing out her chest and looking haughtily at Li Zhen walking in.
Seeing this situation, Li Zhen's heart thumped.
The inevitable had arrived.
Jiang Keyan turned her head, "President Wang, Li Zhen is here. Regarding the matter I just discussed with you, you can notify Li Zhen directly now, right?"
"Wait, let's confirm it again when President Yu gets here with both parties present." Wang Peng irritably scratched the little hair he had left.
Putting his hand down, he saw another strand of hair had left him, quietly lying in his palm.
Oh no, he didn't want Yu Sheng to leave!
Otherwise there would be even less of his hair left.
"President Wang, these were all admitted in front of everyone by President Yu yesterday. He and Li Zhen used to be husband and wife. You can't be trying to cover for them!" Jiang Keyan continued questioning.
Wang Peng was just thinking about how to stall for time.
Li Zhen slowly sat down across from the two, and opened her mouth, "I'll leave, and I'll pay the penalty too."
Li Zhen's light words made Wang Peng and Jiang Keyan both stunned for a moment.
"Did you...forget about the contract you signed? You're a signed model, the penalty is not low..." Wang Peng hurriedly reminded her.
How could Li Zhen possibly forget.
This had been a sword hanging over her neck for a long time.
But ever since Li Yinnan agreed to give her shares for getting pregnant, she suddenly felt enlightened.
With shares, the penalty would not seem like much.
Leaving early would allow her to be free of this sooner rather than later, so there was nothing bad about it.
So when Yu Sheng blurted out their relationship yesterday, she wasn't worried about this matter either.
Li Zhen looked calm, "President Wang, I accept being dismissed and leaving the company, but there are two things I'd like to request from the company."
Jiang Keyan excitedly pinched her own palm.
It was this easy!
She thought Li Zhen would try to deny it, or find someone to help her, after all Li Zhen had to pay over 2 million in penalty fees. She didn't expect Li Zhen to not struggle at all.
She could finally avenge her sister!
The rules were the rules, there was no other way, so Wang Peng nodded, "Go ahead..."
"First, I request postponing the penalty fee by two months, but I will pay a late penalty for the delay."
"Second..."
Li Zhen paused, "President Wang, President Yu has been more of a contributor than a detriment to the company. I hope the company can be lenient in considering President Yu's continued employment."
She didn't like this job, so leaving was no big deal to her.
But Yu Sheng valued this work so highly, he definitely wouldn't be able to accept leaving.
Wang Peng hurriedly nodded, this was exactly what he wanted, "Of course..."
"There's no need for that." Yu Sheng's voice suddenly appeared at the door.
He glanced at Li Zhen, then looked to Wang Peng, "President Wang, I submitted my resignation yesterday morning. You already signed it yesterday, don't you remember?"
Li Zhen: ...
Jiang Keyan: ...
Wang Peng: ...
Wang Peng was stunned. Were the documents he signed for Yu Sheng yesterday his resignation?
He trusted Yu Sheng so much that he barely even looked at the contents before signing recently.
He was finished, his carelessness at work was also exposed, and his capable subordinate had also left him?
Heartache!
He felt like he was about to have a heart attack!
Yu Sheng's gaze was slightly tired, but his words still rang with the innate authority of one high above others, "President Wang, according to company rules, after one person has left, the relationship between two people is water under the bridge, so Li Zhen doesn't need to leave or pay the penalty."
"You care so much about this job, why did you resign?" Li Zhen blurted out without thinking.
"Didn't I tell you that day, I was tired and wanted to take a break." Yu Sheng's voice softened, and the usual sharpness in his eyes dissipated somewhat as he gently said, "You didn't object at the time, so I thought you agreed."
Li Zhen: ...Why would I need to agree to your matters!
At that time she hadn't even processed that he was talking about work.
Wang Peng covered his heart, "President Yu, I was a little fuzzy yesterday, can we pretend it didn't happen?!"
Yu Sheng's detached gaze fell on Li Zhen as he continued in a slow and deep voice, "President Wang, I still have some personal matters to arrange next, so I do need to leave Honghai. But I will stay at the company for one more month to properly hand over my work."
"But...ah..." Wang Peng sighed, feeling intermittent pain in his chest.
Yu Sheng sat down and smoothly took off his high quality coat, deftly handing it to Li Zhen: "Help me put this in my office. You can go out first."
Wang Peng's gaze shifted back and forth between the two.
He wouldn't have imagined it...wouldn't have imagined it.
The wife Yu Sheng used to mention every three sentences when chatting leisurely, turned out to be her.
But how did they get divorced...
Looking at them, they did seem quite well matched.
Wang Peng really didn't understand young people these days.
Li Zhen understood that Yu Sheng knew she didn't want to stay here, and was looking for an excuse to let her leave.
"Alright, President Yu." She accepted it with a respectful tone.
Their past relationship was already widely known. Going to his office no longer weighed on her mentally.
Li Zhen's tone was too distant.
Hearing it, Yu Sheng's brow slightly furrowed.
Her attitude towards him recently had seemed a little off.
While Yu Sheng was still discussing details with Wang Peng in the office.
Jiang Keyan followed Li Zhen out, looking at Li Zhen with complex emotions, her molars nearly ground to dust.
In the end she didn't say anything, just turned and left.
Li Zhen put away Yu Sheng's coat after helping him, then walked out of the Honghai building, standing at the roadside and looking back at it.
It was pretty good that after divorcing her, Yu Sheng suddenly gained a lot more openness and understood work wasn't everything.
Hopefully he wouldn't be like her again in his next relationship.
Abruptly over.
When Li Zhen returned to the photography studio, she had just walked in when Zhang Xiya and two others surrounded her.
"Little Zhen Zhen? Did President Yu really resign?"
"The company is willing to let him go?"
"It's because he resigned yesterday that he was able to say your relationship without caring for repercussions, right?"
Only then did Li Zhen find out that Yu Sheng's resignation was already spread through the company.
The three of them surrounded Li Zhen and asked her a whole bunch of questions before reluctantly leaving for their photoshoot.
Li Zhen finally got some peace and quiet when Ai Ru, Dong Wanwan's assistant, came looking for her.
"Hey, I have something going on tonight so I won't be around. You stay at a hotel tonight, and go to Wanwan whenever she needs someone." Ai Ru spoke to Li Zhen while looking down at her.
She had been fooled by Li Zhen into a daze that day, really thinking she was some important figure.
After asking around yesterday, she found out Li Zhen was merely a small hand model.
Who was she to put on airs to her!
