Chapter 273

Liu Yifei was a step too slow, so she simply couldn't be bothered to go over, a trace of unhappiness on her face.

On what grounds? The Spring Festival Gala director had absolutely no eye for talent.

They wanted Qin Yu but didn't want her.

That's right, the "Fairy Sister" also wanted to go play at the Spring Festival Gala.

This year, she was the lead actress in a blockbuster; she wanted to go out and show off a little.

The Fairy Sister had her share of vanity, too.

But she never expected that they would reject her outright!

They told her the spots were full.

Yet, not a few days later, Qin Yu told them about how the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala had personally invited him.

He couldn't refuse, so he told everyone to work some overtime.

When Liu Yifei saw this, she was furious.

That old brat had lied to her, the jerk!

What "spots were full"? It was clearly just that they didn't want her.

Naturally, she didn't have a pleasant look for Qin Yu either.

"How about I go ask that guy tonight if he can take me along?"

For some reason, such a thought sprouted in Liu Yifei's mind.

Qin Yu was doing a solo act; adding one person shouldn't be a problem, right?

Since you treated me like that last time, you owe me some benefits.

I lost a lot of face, after all.

……

"Alright everyone, I'll have to trouble you all; we're pressed for time. I'll hand out red envelopes to everyone later."

"……"

"If it were anyone else, I'd have to think about it, but if it's you, fine," Huang Xiaoming teased.

Huang Bo, standing to the side, rolled his eyes.

"Brother Xiaoming, don't listen to Qin Dao's nonsense." Huang Bo had been played once before.

He looked at Qin Yu, who wore a serious expression.

"Qin Dao, all this is fine, but let's be clear first—how big is the red envelope? Don't go handing out two or three yuan later."

Hearing this, the others also reacted.

That's right.

They had almost forgotten Qin Yu's reputation; people in the industry called him the "Iron Rooster."

He was truly stingy to the core.

He also liked to scam others, with Wang Zhonglei and Liu Feng being the biggest victims.

Those rumors were also spread privately by the two of them.

This matter had to be made clear first.

"That's right, Qin Dao, helping is fine, but the money can't be less."

"Exactly, Qin Dao, we have to be clear about this."

"Qin Dao, don't even think about getting a free ride."

"……"

"Well said, Qin Yu is nicknamed the Iron Rooster for a reason."

Liu Yifei seized the opportunity to secretly take a jab at Qin Yu as well.

Her mood improved quite a bit.

But Qin Yu was stunned; he glared fiercely at Liu Yifei. This woman didn't learn her lesson—just you wait.

Originally, he had indeed only intended to give a token amount.

Now, he couldn't get away without bleeding some cash.

After much hassle, he spent two million before he could get everyone to beam with joy.

After everyone had left, Qin Yu came to Liu Yifei's side and whispered.

"That two million will be deducted from your account. Once filming wraps, you're going to take on commercial performances for me."

Liu Yifei: "……"

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that I'm your boss. If you don't like it, you can sue me. Let me tell you, not a single cent of that two million will be missing."

"Besides, I can earn it back from the breach-of-contract penalty anyway."

Liu Yifei finally understood; everything Qin Yu had said before was fake.

All that talk about giving her freedom and letting her arrange things as she pleased.

She had been foolish enough to believe it back then.

Only now did she see this guy's true colors.

"You were lying to me before."

"Of course. Hurry up and go earn money for me. Earn money during the day, and keep the bed warm at night."

"Qin Yu, I'll kill you."

"……"

Liu Yifei was truly furious now; this jerk had been plotting against her.

As for Qin Yu, he had long since run off.

He had to give Liu Yifei some mental preparation; this woman was incredibly lazy.

She clearly had over a month of vacation, and she could have earned quite a bit just by taking a few commercial gigs.

But her?

She had actually spent over a month lying at home.

She hadn't earned a single cent for the company!!!

Qin Yu thought about how he was suffering while filming in Thailand, while Liu Yifei was at home sleeping.

It would be a miracle if he could keep his cool.

A commercial performance quota of twenty million a year—not a single cent could be missing.

"You jerk!"

Liu Yifei watched Qin Yu's retreating back, her eyes full of despair; she had boarded a pirate ship.

It was over.

Her former happy life was gone.

As for terminating the contract, Liu Yifei hadn't even considered it.

After coming to Qin Yu Culture, Zhou Pangzi had connected her with quite a few endorsements.

Moreover, many people in the industry had started to suck up to her.

In fact, over this past month, Liu Yifei had been quite happy overall.

It felt like she had returned to a few years ago.

That Fairy Sister whom everyone loved.

But she never expected to find out today.

Every gift from fate had already been secretly marked with a price.

She was completely bound.

It made Liu Yifei absent-minded during dinner that night, and Li Binbin even asked her if she was alright.

But Liu Yifei didn't even bother to acknowledge that woman.

Qin Yu didn't care; he greeted everyone as they ate.

He secretly glanced at Liu Yifei and thought to himself.

People are forced into things; keep it up, Liu Yifei.

If you don't work hard, when will I ever be able to afford a private jet?

……

By nightfall, a dramatic scene unfolded once again.
