Chapter 61 - I Am The Boss
61 I Am The Boss
Before he could finish speaking, Xi Wan interrupted him and said, “I won’t give you a cent less for the liquidated damages, you can rest assured. If you’re here for this matter, then you can leave.”
Xiao Zhe paused and was a little surprised as he said, “Xi Wan, where did you get the money?”
Even if she was married to Su Xun, Su Xun did not care about Xi Wan at all. He would never come forward to help her pay the liquidated damages for breaching the contract.
Xi Wan said, “Of course it’s my own money. You don’t think that my husband will settle it for me, did you? Even if I’m not famous in the entertainment industry, it doesn’t mean that I’m so poor that I can’t even afford to pay the liquidated damages.”
Xiao Zhe was left speechless because of Xi Wan’s words several times in a short period of time. He was somewhat puzzled. When did the submissive Xi Wan, who didn’t even dare to speak a word, become so eloquent?
When Xiao Zhe saw that Xi Wan was about to leave, he said again, “Xi Wan, I can cancel the liquidated damages.”
As expected, Xi Wan really turned around to look at him.
Xiao Zhe thought that Xi Wan would ask about the conditions for cancelling the liquidated damages for the breach of contract with tears in her eyes. However, Xi Wan said, “Why? My lawyer has already made the contact. Wouldn’t the preparations made by my lawyer be wasted if you want to cancel the liquidated damages now? Boss Xiao, don’t add to other people’s workload just because you’re free.”
Xiao Zhe was dumbfounded again. Shouldn’t she be crying tearfully and asking about the conditions for cancelling the liquidated damages for the breach of contract? After that, she would express his gratitude. This should be the normal development.
What was going on with Xi Wan?
Xi Wan continued, “I don’t know why you’re here today, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. If that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first. The auction will begin in a moment.”
She turned around and was about to leave when Xiao Zhe finally threw out his trump card. “I can renew your contract! You can come back and continue to be an artiste. I will also give you a chance to work with me.”
Xi Wan was annoyed and turned around to say, “I’ve already said that I’m leaving the entertainment industry so I definitely will not go back. As for working with you, I don’t care about it much. You should give this opportunity to others.”
Xiao Zhe said, ” Xi Wan, you should know that I’m not only the top actor. The entertainment company I own is only second to Su Group! Su Xun won’t sign you under his company so my company is the best place for you!”
“You’re quite baffling.” Xi Wan said, “I’m not interested in your company. I’ve also registered a company and will soon become the boss of an entertainment company. With my status and popularity, I don’t think my entertainment company will be any worse than yours.”
“You registered a company?” Xiao Zhe was shocked. “You can’t run a company at all with your abilities!”
“Just wait and see if I can manage the company then.” Xi Wan hated it the most when people looked down on her abilities. They either thought that she had achieved what she had today because of Su Xun, or they thought that she could not do it with her own abilities at all.
Not to mention that the person in front of her was the second male protagonist but even if Su Xun was standing here and dared to question her ability, Xi Wan would not hesitate to fight back!
The system noticed the change in Xi Wan’s mood and said: [Xi Wan, this is the second male protagonist. You must think of the consequences no matter what you say or do! If you offend him, he will be even more ruthless to you and you will end up in a worse state!] 𝗳𝒓e𝚎𝙬𝒆𝙗𝚗o𝙫e𝗹. 𝐜𝐨𝙢
However, Xi Wan did not listen to the system. Instead, she said to Xiao Zhe, “If you have doubts about my ability, then I will prove it with my strength. You don’t have to boast too much, because you’re just an ordinary person in my eyes.”
With that said, Xi Wan turned around and left.
Xiao Zhe, on the other hand, froze in place.
The system kept screaming: [Xi Wan! I’ve never seen a host that’s as difficult to manage as you! I’ve already said that you can’t mess with Xiao Zhe given his status but you did not only refuse to listen to me but you even provoked him!]
“Who asked him to say such nasty things to me?” Xi Wan did not take this matter seriously.
The system replied” [His words are unpleasant because of the character setting! Based on your settings, you shouldn’t be talking back to him!]
“Anyway, I won’t be submissive like the original owner.” Xi Wan was not in a very good mood. “He likes Zhao Fei but he doesn’t hate Ling Feng. Instead, he wants to hate me? This matter has already made me angry and now he still wants to use his identity to suppress me? Pfft! Don’t even think about it!”
The system also felt that it was unfair for Xi Wan, but she could not just do things according to her own mood. She had to respect the original plot at least.
