Chapter 355: Murder, help!

Shen Ci didn't care at all about the other party's gloomy and livid face. As she turned, her eyes flickered with a touch of contempt.

Seeing this, Qu Tiancheng gritted his teeth and spoke: "Miss Shen, being young and vigorous is not a good thing. By not leaving any room for each other today, are you really not afraid that you will have something to ask of me in the future?"

It is said that one should leave a line of retreat in everything, so that we can meet again in the future.

In this society, there are few people with a certain strength and status who aren't smooth. Regardless of their inner thoughts, everyone gets along on the surface.

Qu Tiancheng himself knew that in all the circles he moved in, there were many people who didn't like him, but no one had ever treated him like Shen Ci—ignoring him so completely and not considering any consequences at all.

He himself hadn't expected that a girl in her early twenties would have such a personality and temper that didn't follow the rules. She wasn't the kind of little girl who was willful, making trouble, or impolite, but truly looked down on him and didn't value him.

He could truly feel it, which was why he felt humiliated again and again when facing her, not receiving the respect he should have received for his status and position.

The words just now were almost a threat, so much so that Shen Ci stopped even though she had walked several meters away.

Seeing this, Qu Tiancheng curled his lips slightly, thinking the other party was scared.

After all, no matter how arrogant a girl is in her bones, she is still just a girl in the end.

However, Shen Ci turned back to look at him again, still with a calm expression and a flat tone: "There is no need for me to leave any room between me and General Manager Qu, because I have never been the same kind of person as you."

"General Manager Qu doesn't need to fantasize that I will have a day when I have to ask for your help, because I am a person who has both principles and a bottom line. And very coincidentally, General Manager Qu, you neither reach my principles nor pass my bottom line, so the matter of 'asking you' will never happen!"

After saying this, Shen Ci had no interest in saying another word to the other party and turned directly into the elevator lobby.

Gu Lianxing turned back to look at Qu Tiancheng and curled her lips with contempt. Although she didn't know this man, since A-Ci hated him, she hated him too!

After the three got into the elevator and left, the corridor fell into a strange, quiet atmosphere.

The three assistants and secretaries beside Qu Tiancheng had witnessed their boss being humiliated and despised by a little girl right to his face. One by one, they lowered their heads, looking at their noses and hearts, and no one dared to make a sound or even breathe loudly.

Qu Tiancheng himself also gritted his teeth. Everything just now reminded him of the time when he first started his business and was blocked everywhere and looked down upon by others.

But that was a long, long time ago. Now he was glorious and infinite, with wealth and status, and even those who had given him a hard time before were now polite when they saw him.

It had been a long time since anyone dared to ignore him so unscrupulously. At this moment, his heart was burning with anger, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Mandy!"

After a long time, Qu Tiancheng suppressed the evil fire in his heart and called the assistant's name.

Mandy on the side hurriedly raised her head upon hearing the sound and looked at Qu Tiancheng cautiously: "General Manager Qu?"

Qu Tiancheng exhaled the turbid air in his chest and said slowly: "Go and ask what's going on with that streamer who wants to terminate the contract with the company."

"Oh, okay." Mandy nodded hurriedly.

Qu Tiancheng's eyes were filled with gloom. He might not have any opportunity to directly and quickly retaliate against Shen Ci for the time being, but don't forget that her friend was still signed to his company!

Shen Ci and the three got into the elevator, and only then did Pili look at Shen Ci and ask with some doubt: "Was that person sitting at the same table with you at the banquet before? Is he the boss of 'Changyang'?"

Shen Ci nodded lightly: "Although this is only the second time I've met him, this person is truly annoying to the extreme. I enjoyed the pleasure of the tongue for a moment and said things a bit harshly."

"You are still signed to 'Changyang'. I can see that this person is very narrow-minded. He can't do anything to me, but he will probably make things difficult for your contract termination."

Pili looked indifferent upon hearing this; she wasn't afraid at all: "Whatever, I must terminate this contract anyway."

"Don't worry, I will definitely think of a way to help you."

Actually, Shen Ci knew in her heart that even without the incident just now, Qu Tiancheng would definitely make things difficult for her regarding Pili's contract termination, because he was such a vengeful person. And the grudge between the two had been formed at the table on the day of the banquet, so as long as Qu Tiancheng found an opportunity to make her unhappy, he would definitely not let it go!

This person looks narrow-minded on the surface, but in fact, his entire foundation is sensitive and inferior.

Narrow-minded, sensitive, and inferior—when these three traits are stacked on one person at the same time, one can imagine how paranoid and unreasonable this person will be!

Shen Ci and the others found a coffee shop on the side of the road and sat down. The afternoon temperature in Longcheng at this time of year was the most pleasant, with warm but not scorching sunlight accompanied by a cool but not cold breeze, which went best with a hot latte.

"I'll make an appointment with Lawyer Qin first, and then let him help look at the contract."

Pili also had concerns in her heart: "I don't think the legal route will necessarily work, because this contract was signed by hundreds or thousands of streamers. 'Changyang' must have made the contract watertight and won't leave any loopholes for us to drill through."

"Indeed, I have the same thought as you." Shen Ci looked at Pili: "But regardless, Lawyer Qin is a professional after all. Even if there are no loopholes in the contract, he can give us some professional advice. What if it's useful?"

Lianxing's small face wrinkled upon hearing this: "If the legal route doesn't work, then isn't this company lawless? Is it really just openly cheating others and sucking blood?"

Pili lowered her eyes slightly and sighed softly: "This matter can't be blamed entirely on the other party. It's also my fault for not doing enough research and having no knowledge or experience in these matters, which is why I ended up in this situation today."

She faced her own problems, so she wouldn't blame all the faults on the other party. If she had been more careful at the time, she might not have been easily deceived.

"There's no point in saying these things now. Let's focus on finding a way to terminate the contract."

Pili and Lianxing nodded. Who knew that at this moment, a scream of terror suddenly came from the road, instantly attracting the customers drinking coffee at the roadside coffee shop.

Everyone stood up almost at the same time and ran to the side of the road to look in the direction of the sound. It was better not to look; just one glance made everyone turn pale with fright. They saw a middle-aged woman covered in blood running toward the coffee shop, screaming and panicking all the way: "Murder, murder, help..."
