“Your responsibility?!” Qin Zhou looked even more amazed.

What on earth was going on?

Yun Shishi started to explain, “My brother entrusted this girl to Hua Jin’s care. She has a split personality and needs to be adopted and treated. Initially, I wanted to adopt her, but as you know my family situation… Yueyao needs to be taken care of. With Youyou and Little Yichen and now Lisa, I’m too busy to do anything else. So, in desperation, I entrusted this matter to Hua Jin.”

Qin Zhou turned to look at Hua Jin in surprise. The actor looked as aggrieved as a kitten. Actually, Yun Shishi felt really guilty about it. Even though her brother had compensated Hua Jin handsomely, asking him to take care of a child was depriving the man of his life. It didn’t matter if Hua Jin volunteered. After all, the actor had had no experience with children. No matter what, it was a liability. But the silently accepted it.

Yun Shishi was surprised that he was willing to take care of Natalia and even retreated from the entertainment industry to do it.

She gave Qin Zhou a brief explanation of what had happened, and as he listened, he got the gist of the situation.

“I understand now. I came over today to settle the termination of the contract.” With that, he tossed Hua Jin a document.

The actor opened it and read through the document. He looked astonished.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Any objections to the termination letter?”

“Why is the penalty column blank?” The actor blinked. “You…”

“You want me to fill it out?” The man shot the actor a frosty look. “If we were to play by the rules, you’d have to pay the company at least an eight-figure sum…”

“Eight figure…” The actor sucked in his breath.

Although Gong Jie had promised to cover the penalty, he was still stunned to hear the amount.

Then again… Qin Zhou actually wasn’t asking for compensation, surprisingly…

“Good man…” Touched, the actor covered his mouth as tears streamed down his face. “Great Qin, you’re such a…”

“Shut up.” Qin Zhou seemed a little frustrated, still. He was also a little dejected. He had been planning to focus on promoting Hua Jin as the top seasoned actor, but in the end, this disappointing person wanted to semi-retire. And to think that it was all because he had to take care of the child…

What an odd reason. However, for the sake of his own boss, Qin Zhou had to allow this.

“Forget it!” Qin Zhou said with a wave of his hand. “If you’re still willing to film in the future, I’ll find you resources. If you don’t want to, stay at home and be a newbie dad.”

“Thank you, Great Qin!” Hua Jin almost wrapped his arms around the man’s trousers to cry.

“It’s not as though I can really bear to terminate the contract!”

“Don’t!” Qin Zhou pushed him away in disgust. “Hurry up and terminate the contract! I’ve had enough of you.”

The actor was dumbfounded. Where was the promised comradeship!?

“Here you go. A pen.” Qin Zhou tossed him the pen.

The actor took the pen and dutifully signed the termination letter. Strangely, he felt rather disappointed as he signed his name.

Although he had indicated his wish to leave the entertainment industry and had had enough of it, he actually felt a little reluctant and hesitant to leave.

The entertainment industry was a big part of his life. It gave him his loneliness, his glory, he suffered belittlement, and earned his infinite halo.

Now that he was really leaving… he actually felt a little desolate.
