Chapter 404: Go away

What? You want to fire me from the company!

The agent looked shocked; he had, after all, stayed at the company for that long, so even if he had no achievements, he had put in hard work.

He had thought Jiang Cheng would make a big fuss and then let it go lightly, and after that, just remembering it for a long time would suffice.

But he never expected Jiang Cheng would actually fire him from the company over just a newcomer? A newcomer who hasn't even debuted!

The agent instantly felt Jiang Cheng was making a mountain out of a molehill; he opened his mouth and couldn't help saying to Jiang Cheng,

"Jiang Cheng, you must have planned this long ago, wanting to kick me out of the company, right? I've at least done a lot for you by your side."

He wore a remorseful face, tears in his eyes, constantly wanting to tell Jiang Cheng about his situation.

"I know this matter is my fault, and most of the responsibility lies with me......"

"I will never let something like this happen again; can't you forgive me just this once?"

His voice already carried a sob, and Jiang Cheng's face showed no expression at all.

Noticing Jiang Cheng's coldness, the agent grabbed his sleeve again.

"You should know my family's situation; we're already having a hard time, do you want to add insult to injury?"

"Besides, it's just a newcomer; I really was wrong this time, but he hasn't even debuted yet!"

"The company hasn't incurred much cost anyway; how about this: the company's expenses, I'll pay from my own account—would that work?"

The agent's eyes showed anxiety; he hurriedly looked at Jiang Cheng, waiting for his response.

If Jiang Cheng keeps disagreeing and just kicks him out like that, the agent doesn't know how miserable he'll be.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng's talent agency has been growing bigger and bigger; clearly, all the busyness and hard work before were his.

If Jiang Cheng Company were to get on its feet now and kick him out, wouldn't he gain nothing at all?

The more the agent thought, the more anxious he became, unable to stop wishing Jiang Cheng would show him leniency.

He subconsciously felt Jiang Cheng's words were meant to scare him.

As long as he properly admits his mistake with a sincere attitude, Jiang Cheng probably won't say anything.

Unfortunately, the facts proved he was still wrong.

After hearing the agent's explanation, Jiang Cheng's face grew uglier and uglier; he almost didn't want to continue talking to the agent.

"Enough, there's nothing more to say; I've already been tolerant with you for a long time, and although you've made many mistakes before, I never blamed you—you should know what I mean."

The agent stepped back a few steps, his face showing shock.

"Why didn't you stop him? Don't think I don't know about the dispute between you two."

"It's you who stubbornly demands he work without any negotiation, and your reputation among other artists is also bad."

Jiang Cheng's demeanor was cold; when he looked at the agent again, he almost didn't recognize him.

"I remember that when you first came before me, you were somewhat responsible and always kept your original intention, so I valued you highly."

"But now you've changed, becoming somewhat unrecognizable to me; those artists, however they talk, have just entered the circle."

They're still newcomers, yet the agent relies on his connection to me and the little authority he holds to want complete control over them.

If anyone disobeys, if an artist shows any sign of resistance, the agent will strike them down.

"You're simply spitting blood; I've never done anything like that!"

The agent's face flushed red, and he couldn't help shouting at Jiang Cheng. In this setting, there was nobody around where the two of them stood.

But when the agent shouted like that, quite a few people looked over toward them.

Not knowing what had happened, they were curious.

Seeing the agent unable to control his emotions, Jiang Cheng continued coldly,

"You'd better hope they don't find out what happened, because if this gets out,"

"Do you think they'd hire you if you applied elsewhere?"

This can be considered a major incident, and moreover, that little artist just now had quite good competitiveness.

If his voice appeared before the audience, it would surely catch their eye and surely win their favor.

But now he's been poisoned mute, his voice silenced by someone familiar nearby—this surely has something to do with the agent.

"What exactly is the situation? I don't want to investigate further; right now there's just one point: leaving our company—is my request too much?"

Seeing the agent before him silent, Jiang Cheng continued,

"You now have only two choices: one is to leave the company quietly, not even letting out a fart."

"The other choice is to make this matter public, so everyone knows how you were kicked out of my company."

!

"Which would look worse? Which brings you no benefit? You know the answer in your heart."

Jiang Cheng's gaze was cold and merciless; the agent couldn't help but start trembling.

At this point he had already begun to regret why he had let the artists be dissatisfied with each other before.

At the same time, he began to hate the person who poisoned him.

If it weren't for his company not losing an artist, he wouldn't have been kicked out by Jiang Cheng from the company.

Now looking at Jiang Cheng's attitude, there's hardly any room for maneuver left.

But to let him just leave like that, he feels very unwilling; the agent gritted his teeth and said,

"Resignation is fine, but can I have the due compensation?"

"You also know my family's situation is difficult; if I lose this job this time, I don't know what I'll do afterward......"

He looked at Jiang Cheng, tears already in his eyes, constantly lamenting to Jiang Cheng his family's hardships.

After all, it's just an old person by his side; Jiang Cheng didn't let him finish a few sentences of lament, raised his hand to stop his words, and then said,

"Enough, don't say more; I know what you mean, rest assured, I won't shortchange you."

With Jiang Cheng's words, the agent quickly breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Jiang Cheng, and left.

But after parting with Jiang Cheng and turning around, Jingjiren's face darkened, and his fists clenched tightly.

Even though he knew his family's situation was so dire, Jiang Cheng still single-mindedly kicked himself out of the company.

He had made many sacrifices at this company, yet now he only received a little compensation.

Jiang Cheng wouldn't think he'd really be satisfied with this little compensation, would he? He needs to find a way to make up for his loss.

Jiang Cheng watched Jingjiren's retreating back, knowing the other wouldn't be easily dismissed, and he let out a quiet sigh.

Before, I thought this agent was not bad, but now it seems almost everyone has flaws.

Relying solely on sympathy won't let him stay longer in his own company. (End of chapter)
