Chapter 69 - I’m Only Mediocre
David, the manager, was alerted. He waited for Song Ci to come over. Even though she had been under him for a few years, his feelings toward her were neutral. Nonetheless, he wished her all the best.
“I hope that you’ll change for the better. You may disagree with me but without power, things are going to be hard.”
Song Ci merely smiled. She did not say much. Just as she exited the elevator, a loud female voice could be heard.
“Is it really you, Sister Song Ci?”
Song Ci did not want to respond and pulled down her sunglasses. She pretended not to hear anything.
However, the other party was relentless. Since there was no one around, she spoke freely.
“Why are you not answering me? Did you quarrel with your manager? Why did you do that? Don’t you know your own position? Other than your face, you have no other merits. If I were you, I would have left the company long ago. It’s so hard being disliked by the production team.”
Song Ci glanced at the other party through her sunglasses. The woman was wearing a long orange dress and had exquisite makeup on. Her eyes were sharp and there was a hint of pride in them. She had probably just finished shooting something and was trying to show off in front of her. Song Ci thought to herself, ‘This person’s name is Yan Han. She had signed a contract with this company around the same time as the original Song Ci. They were basically rivals. The original Song Ci had a bad temper and would explode whenever she was aggravated. Since Yan Han was a scheming type of person, she would often provoke her. The two of them had fought in private several times.’
At the same time, Yan Han knew how to put on a mask. She would act kind and respectful towards others. Hence, she received more gigs than “Song Ci”. Her position in the company was also much better.
Song Ci could not be bothered with her and said coldly, “I’m here to terminate my contract.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Han immediately laughed.
“Terminate your contract? After so many years, did the management finally come to their senses? They finally fired you?”
Song Ci took off her sunglasses and turned her head.
“Sorry to disappoint you, but it was I who decided to change companies.”
Yan Han laughed mockingly.
“Is that so? Congratulations. Still, I’m really curious. What company is blind enough to take you in?”
Song Ci replied nonchalantly, “Sunlight Media.”
Yan Han was instantly shocked. Sunlight Media was considered top-notch. The company was only two years old but had achieved impressive feats. Furthermore, it was under the Lu Corporation. Sunlight Media’s financial power and influence were nothing less than extraordinary!
Yan Han’s expression became ferocious. Both of them had entered this company at the same time and in terms of looks, they were on par. Additionally, she was more hardworking.
How did Song Ci manage to end up in Sunlight Media? Why did she have such good luck?
Yan Han was unwilling to give up.
“Hehe, do you really think that you deserve it?”
“Who knows. Maybe someone in Sunlight Media fancies me.”
Song Ci looked at Yang Haoran innocently.
“Brother Yang, did you make a mistake?”
Yang Haoran dared not say anything.
‘Isn’t she the lady boss? How could she say such things so shamelessly? The entire company is her and CEO Lu’s property!’
In the end, he could only reply helplessly, “We took an interest in you.”
“Really?”
Song Ci deliberately asked exaggeratedly.
“Why didn’t you choose someone like Miss Yan? She’s very good. Is she not worth it?”
Yan Han was so angry that she roared, “Song Ci! You think you can mock me now?”
Song Ci was shocked.
“Why are you saying such things? I asked that question because I was trying to be kind and considerate. You really can’t differentiate what’s right or wrong.”
Yan Han became even more furious.
Song Ci was acting really differently. In the past, she would already lash out at her. Now, she was acting like a victim. Moreover, she even mocked her!
“Don’t flatter yourself. Even if you’re in Sunlight Media, you won’t be recognized in this lifetime!”
“Sure, sure.”
Song Ci nodded in agreement.
“I only have better resources and will earn more money. It’s nothing. You don’t have to concern yourself with me. Since I’m the only person under my manager, my schedule will be so packed that I won’t have the time to rest. My life is not as happy as yours. Brother David has so many people under him. I wonder when they’ll notice you. After all, you’re so free.”
