Chapter 79 - Do You Still Have a Future? (2/2)
Huo Yuxi could not believe her own ears.
“I made so much money for the company…”
“Please, miss. It works both ways. The company has also put in a lot of effort and spent so much money to push you to the frontline. If it was not for the company, do you really think that you would have been able to make it this far in your acting career?” the agent replied as he rolled his eyes. “Alright then, I cannot waste any more time talking to you. I have to bring my new artiste around the company now.”
“Then, what about my future?”
The agent snorted before replying, “Do you still have a future?”
There is none…
After that, the other party hung up the phone and at that time, Huo Yuxi was already enraged. She had never expected a person like herself, who had even received the top actress award, to actually be abandoned by her own entertainment agency.
Therefore, she rushed out of her ward without even bothering to change out of her johnny gown. She completely ignored all the passersby who recognized her and she quickly hailed a taxi to Millennium Entertainment.
“Isn’t that Sister Yuxi? Why has she come to the company in such a depressing state?”
“Did you not hear the news? The company has already decided to drop Huo Yuxi as one of their artistes, and I have heard that she is here to fight it out with the company.”
“Why is she wearing a johnny gown? And look at how flat her tummy is now! Did she just go through an abortion?”
All the employees working at Millennium Entertainment started gossiping and making jokes as soon as they saw Huo Yuxi entering the company and barging straight into the vice chairman’s office. At that moment, her agent was also in the vice chairman’s office, as they were discussing the terms and conditions of the employment contract for the new artiste that they had recruited to replace Huo Yuxi.
Why did this scene look so familiar?
Wasn’t it the same scenario as the time when Lu Zongye used Emperor Entertainment to deal with Jiang Yuning?
“Yuxi, why are you here?” The agent was extremely shocked to see how haggard Huo Yuxi looked just after one night. How did she end up like this?
“Why am I here? Should I just stay at home while you try to get rid of me just like that?” Huo Yuxi asked as she pointed her finger at her agent. “Based on my capabilities, I could have easily switched to a better agency, but I had never considered that option because I know how to be grateful towards the company. However, once I am caught up in a little bit of scandal, the company has just decided to get rid of me without any hesitation at all. Are all of you still human?”
Huo Yuxi made a big scene in the vice chairman’s office.
Huo Yuxi’s agent quickly shut the office door as a lot of people started gathering outside the vice president’s office because of all that commotion.
“Huo Yuxi, please get real and just accept the reality that your reputation is worse than Jiang Yuning’s right now. Stop causing a scene so that we can still have a trace of respect left for you,” the agent yelled at Huo Yuxi.
“That shrew Jiang Yuning was the one who set me up!”
The agent immediately dialled and called for the security guards to come and escort Huo Yuxi out of the office as soon as he saw that the vice chairman was already getting impatient and frustrated. “Come and drag Huo Yuxi now.”
“And Huo Yuxi, you should be looking for the person who had set you up. The company does not owe you anything and we have nothing to do with your personal affairs.”
Who would have known that a top actress like Huo Yuxi would actually cause a scene like this? A short while later, Huo Yuxi was thrown out of Millennium Entertainment by the security guards.
“Do not cause any trouble here again. I am warning you!”
The people who were walking by Millennium Entertainment quickly took photographs of Huo Yuxi who was sitting pitifully outside the company. Who would have guessed that Huo Yuxi would end up in the same situation as Lu Zongye and his mother? This was getting really interesting!
Both the husband and wife were equally dramatic. It was no wonder that people said two birds of a feather would always flock together.
