After Being Framed by Her Family, She was Pampered by a CEO from a Rich Family

Chapter 17

Jing Yao went back to her room to pack her bag, and the two of them went straight to the company that Jing Yao had signed onto.

On the way to pick up Jing Yao, Gu Yu had already received a call from Liang Xun. Liang Xun explained in detail what he wanted to do on the phone.

Gu Yu was a steady person and never fought unprepared battles. While waiting for Jing Yao to pack up, he had already investigated Jing Yao’s company.

That company was not big and had only been established for a few years. It was really not popular in the entertainment industry, and the artists it signed with were neither popular nor knew how to entertain. It was a waste of Jing Yao’s youth to stay in such a company.

After arriving at the company, Jing Yao said to Gu Yu, “Mr. Gu, thank you for sending me here. You can go back first. I’m going up.”

Gu Yu did not move. “President Liang instructed me to stay by Miss Jing’s side for the entire day.”

“…” Jing Yao.

“My introduction earlier might not be clear enough. I’m President Liang’s assistant and personal lawyer.” Gu Yu looked at Jing Yao and smiled. “Miss Jing, if you want to terminate your contract with the company, you should need a lawyer, right?”

Jing Yao finally brought Gu Yu along.

She did not terminate the contract immediately. Instead, she went to look for Zhu Ling first.

Zhu Ling had been waiting for her since she received Jing Yao’s call.

She had countless questions. She had always known that Jing Yao wanted to terminate her contract with the company, which was something they had been working hard for. The problem was that Jing Yao couldn’t fork out so much compensation.

Zhu Ling had once suggested that Jing Yao could borrow money from her family or her brother and terminate the contract first. Then Jing Yao would return the money to her after she was earning money.

But Jing Yao didn’t want to.

At that time, she even said that Jing Yao didn’t know how to plan. With her qualifications, as long as she managed it well, she would definitely become popular. By then, she would be able to take on a movie and with that, she would have the money needed to terminate the contract.

However, Jing Yao was very insistent. She said, “Lingling, we both know that in a place like the entertainment industry, one has to be not only good-looking and capable, but also need to have opportunities to become popular.”

Now that Jing Yao suddenly said that she wanted to terminate the contract, Zhu Ling was full of doubts. She even had many bad guesses.

After Jing Yao brought Gu Yu into Zhu Ling’s office, Zhu Ling immediately stood up and rushed towards Jing Yao.

Gu Yu remembered Liang Xun’s instructions. Seeing this scene, he immediately took two steps forward and stood in front of Jing Yao.

Zhu Ling sized up Gu Yu. “Sir, who are you?”

Gu Yu put on a professional smile. “Hello, I’m President Liang’s assistant and personal lawyer.”

Zhu Ling looked puzzled. “President Liang?”

Jing Yao stuck her head out from behind Gu Yu and whispered, “It’s Liang Xun.”

“Liang Xun?” When Zhu Ling heard this name, she thought of how Liang Xun had taken Jing Yao to the hospital yesterday. She immediately figured out a lot of things by herself and was furious. “Alright, Jing Yao, you’re really good. Why? Can’t you borrow my money? You have to borrow from Liang Xun?”

Gu Yu and Jing Yao looked at Zhu Ling speechlessly.

How did she connect it with borrowing money?

Gu Yu thought of Liang Xun’s Moments last night and Liang Xun’s gentle expression during the meeting this morning. He thought to himself,

Borrow? Jing Yao doesn’t need to borrow it. It won’t be long before Liang Xun has to hand over his wage slip to Jing Yao.

“I didn’t borrow it.” Jing Yao changed the topic. “Besides, you have to borrow it from your brother and parents. How can I borrow it from you?”

Zhu Ling glared at her. Just as she was about to continue asking, the phone in the office suddenly rang.

Zhu Ling could only give Jing Yao a look and pick up the phone.

The call was from the company’s boss, Zhou Lin. As soon as the call went through, Zhou Lin’s overbearing voice sounded.

“Zhu Ling, where is Jing Yao?”

Zhu Ling glanced at Jing Yao and didn’t answer immediately. Zhou Lin’s tone didn’t sound good.

“Boss, I’m Jing Yao’s manager. You can tell me directly.”

Zhou Lin said angrily, “No, Jing Yao has to do this herself. No matter where she is, contact her now and ask her to come to the CEO’s office immediately. Remember, hurry.”

Zhou Lin hung up after saying that. Zhu Ling’s expression darkened.

She said to Jing Yao, “Let’s put aside the termination of the contract first. I’ll go to the CEO’s office. Stay here and don’t go anywhere. You can’t leave this door until I come back, do you hear me?”
