Chapter 282 The Fate Of President Smith (1)

The next day, Ran Xueyi left to meet with Adelle regarding the finalization of her termination of contract with her current agency. She still has a month before it completely ends but because of Song Yu Han's sudden appearance, she could no longer wait inside Ren Country.

Ran Xueyi loved the international films she continuously shot during this time but she missed the domestic movies and TV dramas with variety and deeper genres. On the other hand, she still wanted to dominate the country's entertainment industry as she had wanted in the past but couldn't because of her circumstances.

Now that she was no longer being held back by her family or by anything at all, Ran Xueyi naturally couldn't let this opportunity go.

"The president is not in his office." When Ran Xueyi arrived on the tenth floor of the office building, the secretary stationed outside told them as soon as they asked for the president.

Ran Xueyi glanced at Adelle and both frowned.

Adelle asked, "But we have an appointment with the president and he agreed to meet with us last time. What urgent matters did he go to?"

The secretary stared at Adelle and shook her head, "The president didn't inform me about this either. He just called me this morning saying that he would be unable to come to the office today and tomorrow because of a business trip and to put all the documents needed to be signed today on hold for now."

"Then, can you call us when he comes later or tomorrow?"

"I can do that." The secretary nodded.

Ran Xueyi and Adelle couldn't meet with the company president and so they planned to go home. But just when they were about to leave the underground parking lot of the building, they saw that red supercar of the president parked in his usual spot.

"That car… Isn't that the president's car?" Adelle stared in shock at what they saw.

Everyone inside the company knew that the president loved this supercar to death. He would never leave it anywhere and would use it constantly. He even brought the car with him when he went to another country because he said he couldn't separate with it.

Then, what does this mean?

Ran Xueyi barely gave it a glance and also recognized it. She was silent for a second before she said, "The president must have convinced the secretary to lie to us.

"But why would he do that? We're not here to demand money from him like loan sharks!" Adelle couldn't believe what had just happened and was fuming. How could the president be like this? "Let's go! Let's storm inside his office and talk to him!"

"Wait!"

Ran Xueyi stopped her before she could open the car door. "Don't go there now."

"But why?"

"The president probably thinks that if he hides from me, he could avoid the termination of the contract. But doesn't he remember that I could have terminated the contract anytime before because he breached the contract first. I only remained in the company because I know their focus will be centered around me so I made use of that to my advantage."

Ran Xueyi knew how greedy and ambitious the president was. He could use any method he could think of to make his company the top entertainment company in the country, but before he met Ran Xueyi, he offended some bigwigs who ended up crippling some of the company's business opportunities.

If she could still remember, the company almost couldn't secure many roles and films to tie with their artists because those bigwigs would always find a way to block them.

However, since Ran Xueyi started to work under the banner of the ORANGE Entertainment, those bigwigs could no longer touch the company.

But President Smith didn't know this.

He just thought that he was doing a very good job in raising his company and became greedy and arrogant. He never thought that the reason why ORANGE Entertainment was able to get as much resources as they could get in the past few years was all due to Ran Xueyi blocking all the efforts of this bigwigs to ruin the company. Naturally, those bigwigs were also in the dark like President Smith. They never knew that an actress signed under the company was the one interfering with their efforts to take down ORANGE Entertainment.

Up until now, they all think that President Smith acquired a strong backing from an unknown bigshot.

But what do you think will happen if Ran Xueyi decides to pull the veil she placed around their eyes?

Ran Xueyi was not worried about not being able to terminate the contract since she could easily pull back from supporting and backing the company.

It was just that she didn't want to do that because she couldn't let all those artists signed under ORANGE Entertainment suffer because of President Smith's previous decisions and actions.

If she really stopped blocking the merciless and wriggling hands of those bigwigs, all those artists will end up being homeless and unemployed.

Ran Xueyi didn't want that to happen. She already experienced the life of an actress that has no home to return to nor work to finish.

On the other hand, she had some bit of companionship with all these artists so she thought there was no need to stop now.

Of course, with the condition that President Smith must not continue sitting on the position of President.

Adelle didn't know what Ran Xueyi had been thinking about and was worried that the president's malicious intentions got to her. She said, "Don't worry about it, Estelle. The president cannot hide from you every time! Now that I think about it, I heard there is a big meeting tomorrow!"

"Oh? Where did you hear it from?"

Adelle did not shy away to tell her and said, "You know I have some friends who worked as secretaries of the head managers in the company, right? We were casually chatting a few days ago and they mentioned that there was a meeting tomorrow with the shareholders. They were complaining about it for a long time in the group chat so I remembered it very clearly."

Ran Xueyi paused in silence and stared at Adelle.

"Wh-what?"

"Thank you…" Ran Xueyi suddenly said. "I think we can use this chance to force President Smith to resign himself."

Adelle was shocked. "Re-resign? What do you mean? Isn't it just a meeting with the shareholders? Why would he suddenly resign?"

Ran Xueyi patted her manager on the shoulder and smiled sweetly, "Let's wait tomorrow. You'll know why he will give his resignation letter himself in front of all the shareholders."

Adelle felt that something big was about to happen and seeing how Ran Xueyi was smiling more brightly than when she received her award trophy, she couldn't help smiling with her as well.

…

The following day arrived quickly.

President Smith came out of his shell and arrived in the office building very early. The shareholders have been quite pleased with him for the past few years all because of the achievements Ran Xueyi got. In their eyes, all the awards she received was all because of them. They never considered that it was because of Ran Xueyi's superb acting skills that captivated all the audience who watched her films.

"Good morning, President." The secretary stood from her station and walked to him with a stack of papers on her arm. "The shareholders will soon arrive in an hour. The preparations for the meeting are also done."

President Smith was a fifty-year old man who had a beer belly and bald head. He nodded at the secretary before saying, "Notify the security if somebody asks for me, tell them that I am not here."

The secretary guessed what the president was thinking about and said, "I already told Estelle and her manager that you're not going to be here today so I doubt they will come here."

"Good! I will raise your bonus this month!" President Smith was pleased by her words and the heavy rocks on top of him decreased in weight.

President Smith entered his office with a smile and decided to wait for the other shareholders to arrive.

An hour later, the secretary knocked on his office door and entered. She informed that all the shareholders and head managers were not inside the conference room, waiting for him to arrive.

President Smith grinned and used his hand to comb his almost hairless head. It was a good thing that he was able to think clearly and quickly.

He wanted to use today's meeting to target Estelle, who didn't show any gratitude when he picked her up after she left her country. If it wasn't for him, the president of ORANGE Entertainment, she wouldn't have been able to enter the international entertainment market.

How could she shamelessly think that she could just get out of his grasp when he created her?

There was no way he would let her go! She was his cash cow that will make him and his company even richer and powerful! He will show her what it means to piss him off after today!

And for him to achieve his goal, he must convince every shareholder, especially, the biggest shareholder of the company to agree with him to not let her terminate the contract and also force her to sign a 20 year contract with them!

Thinking like this, President Smith smirked deviously as he entered the conference room together with his secretary.

Unbeknownst to him, the wheel of fate will soon show him what it really means to deceive people.
