Chapter 380: Pulling out

Chapter 380: Pulling out

"Senior, how's the last few days been going? Are you getting adjusted to our company?" Zhang Jian asks Chu Jingyi. The two are walking toward Lu Chen's office. 

"It's been doing good. Everybody has been treating me really well." At first, most of the employees looked at Chu Jingyi suspiciously. They didn't know whether or not the rumors were true about him. 

But the more the employees got to know Chu Jingyi, they realized the rumors about him were false. 

"That's good. To be honest, if you had joined another company, they might have treated you differently from us." Zhang Jian says honestly. 

Originally, ARCS was a failure as an entertainment company. But with Lu Chen's help, he made the company better for all of the workers. The employees have an open mind about giving people second chances. 

"Mmhmm. Though, I feel like I'm being treated too well." Chu Jingyi understands he might have gotten a different treatment if he joined another. But it was too much. The employees look up to him as a big brother. 

"It's fine. You're a senior. So the younger ones will treat you with respect." As Zhang Jian and Chu Jingyi continue to talk, 

"What do you mean it's off?!" Everybody outside turns to Lu Chen's office. The roar was so loud that people from the halls could hear it. 

"!" Zhang Jian and Chu Jingyi had jumped up from their spot. Chu Jingyi looks at the latter with a questioning gaze.

Zhang Jian responds by shaking his head. Then they look at the employees, and the shocking expression is still plastered on their faces. 

'So it's the same for them as well.' This was the first time Lu Chen had screamed out so loud like he was ready to kill someone. 

...

"What is going on? Why does my secretary say that your workers restricted us from going into the hall? Give me an explanation." Lu Chen thought everything was going according to what he wanted. But he got a call from Duan Huiling that the workers weren't letting her in to inspect the building. 

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. But my side has to pull out of our agreement. We'll refund you all the money you invested." Even though the person apologized, the tone of his voice was different. 

"Explain to me why you are breaking the agreement that we have before?" Lu Chen doesn't want an apology. Lu Chen wants to know why the other side is going back on the agreement?

Both sides have invested a lot of money and time into the concert. So it was pissing Lu Chen off that everybody's time working was for nothing. 

The person's voice becomes annoying, "I don't need to explain the reason why we are pulling out. You should already know the reason."

"Is it because of Chu Jingyi?" That's the only reason why the person could do a 180. 

"There are some people you can't be messing with, and what you did was a slap to that person's face. I suggest you drop Chu Jingyi, or you won't be working with anybody else."

"..."

"Many people are rescinding the offers they gave to Zhang Jian because of the stupid move you made. It's best to make amends to him now." The person is an underling of Yi Ruolan's husband. 

The husband wanted Zhang Jian and Chu Jingyi to plummet together. 

"...HAHAHAAHAHAHAH." Instead of Lu Chen complying with what he thought, the latter was laughing.

"What's so funny?" The man's voice turns dark. Did any of his threats go through to him?

"Do you really think this kind of thing will make me go down? That delusion of yours is what I find so funny."

"Do you know what kind of person you are messing with?!" His voice turns furious as he understands Lu Chen won't yield. 

"And do you know what kinds of things I've been through?" Lu Chen's voice was calm. But it was the exact reason why it made it so scary.

"!" Sensing it as well, the person on the other side flinches. 

"I'll tell you something; if he's thinking he can threaten me with something like this, then he's got something wrong with his head. 

Go tell him he can go suck it. I'll never abandon my people."
