Chu Yi appreciated Song Ci and Yang Haoran’s words of comfort. However, he was still hesitant.
Liu Yiu could definitely make their lives a living hell. She was the boss’s lover!
Suddenly, Yang Haoran’s cell phone rang. It was Jin Li.
Yang Haoran was speechless.
‘That was fast… How did a professional manager end up with such a brainless woman? She may be good-looking, but he should be more attentive and less selfish when it comes to company matters.’!!
Regardless, Yang Haoran answered the call.
“Hello, CEO Jin.”
Jin Li said arrogantly, “Little Yang, did you sign a contract with Chu Yi already?”
“Yes.”
“Why did you do it so quickly?”
Jin Li was displeased.
“You said it was fine before.”
Yang Haoran did not even flinch even though he lied.
Jin Li said casually, “If that’s the case, don’t arrange any jobs for him. Just wait until his contract expires.”
“CEO Jin, are you serious?”
“Yes. If he’s not satisfied, tell him to pay the penalty fee and leave.”
“CEO Jin, I…”
Before Yang Haoran could finish his sentence, Jin Li interrupted him.
“I still have something to do, so I’m hanging up.”
Before Jin Li hung up, Yang Haoran could hear Liu Yiu’s flirtatious voice in the background.
Yang Haoran was so furious that he felt like splitting Jin Li’s head into two.
Chu Yi could tell that he had already made things difficult for Yang Haoran. If he signed the contract, things would only get worse.
“Brother Yang, I appreciate your kindness. This is why I can’t let you get involved in such a mess. Just forget about the contract. Let’s go for a meal instead. My treat. If I remember correctly, you like stewed chicken, right? I know a really good restaurant.”
Yang Haoran looked at Chu Yi before shifting his attention to Song Ci. It looked like he wanted to say something, but was unable.
In the end, Yang Haoran told Chu Yi to go home first.
Once Chu Yi had left, Song Ci asked Yang Haoran, “Has CEO Jin always been like this?”
“No. In the past, he was very serious and responsible. That’s why LEO Lu Heng appointed him as the general manager of Sunlight Media. He started to change after meeting Liu Yiu and things got worse over time…”
“Brother Lu Heng didn’t do anything about this?”
“Jin Li has been in this position for a long time and contributed a lot. Hence, Brother Lu Heng turned a blind eye to it. He isn’t willing to argue over small matters. Besides, Jin Li was not as bad back then. CEO Lu Gan does not really manage the company, so Jin Li was free to do whatever he pleased.”
Song Ci nodded.
“But why doesn’t the Lu family care about Sunlight Media?”
Yang Haoran said in a low voice, “Sunlight Media is under the Lu Corporation, but it was founded by Lu Heng. The Lu family doesn’t have a lot of shares in this company…”
“I see.”
Under such circumstances, Jin Li had free reign in Sunlight Media. He was like a monkey who wanted to be king because there were no challengers.
“Also…”
Yang Haoran paused, unsure if he should continue.
“Go on.”
“I’m not sure if it matters but I saw CEO Jin having a meal with Lu Jie, the current general manager of Lu Corporation. That might have inflated his ego even more.”
