". . . Go ahead!"

Everyone inside the room gasped when they heard that. Who was this little celebrity? No artist dared to go against their manager. And breaching the contract?! That would mean a fine of at least 50000 dollars!

Nobody would be dumb enough to purposely breach the contract and pay a large amount of money unless they were already famous and rich. However, the beautiful girl going against her manager right now didn't seem to be famous yet.

"He Xinyan, do you know what you are talking about?" Yang Yaqi also raised her voice.

"Yang Yaqi, don't think I don't know what you are up to. I would be stupid to continue working under a person like you. I'm telling you right now that I am leaving the company, and I will pay the company the penalty fee in less than a month. Thank you very much!"

Yang Yaqi gritted her teeth together, "You can't do this!"

"Who says I can't?"

The people inside the room have created a circle around them to watch the show. Yang Yaqi looked around and tried to keep a calm expression, but didn't succeed.

"Okay!" Yang Yaqi chuckled, "Once you leave Starpath Entertainment, you will be a nobody! I will make sure you get blacklisted in the industry!"

He Xinyan smiled, "I look forward to it." She took a step forward and whispered into Yang Yaqi's ear, "You know I am also the daughter of the He family, right? Oh, wait! I said the wrong thing. I meant. . . I am the only legitimate daughter of the He family."

With that, He Xinyan walked away from Yang Yaqi, who was shaking from anger and fear. Li Yuyan would be outraged when she figured out that He Xinyan had left the company! Li Yuyan had only chosen to enter their company so she could oppress He Xinyan, but now that was ruined.

Slowly, the crowd dissolved after the short drama, and everyone went back to doing what they were doing.

--- A few minutes ago

On a seat in the corner, hidden in the shadows, Gu Yechen sat casually with his legs and arms crossed.

He was tired of dealing with people trying to curry favor with him, and he had sat down quietly, his completely black suit blending into the darkness.

However, his eyes were glued onto one person the entire time. His face had a rare smile on it, and even in the dark, the warmth and tenderness on his face couldn't be mistaken.

Looks like his brother had finally done something right. Because Gu Yechen's brother suddenly got diarrhea, he was forced to attend this boring party.

But now it wasn't so boring anymore. She had eaten three slices of cake already and was now on her fourth. She was even beautiful while eating.

Gu Yechen's smile slightly faltered when he saw that she had stopped eating. The next second, there was a small shriek, and glass shattered onto the ground.

Gu Yechen stood up but sat down again with an amused expression on his face. What was she up to now?

As the scene slowly unfolded, his smile grew bigger and bigger. His woman had to be powerful and cunning, just like her!

After everything had gone back to normal, Gu Yechen stepped out of the darkness. Before even a minute had passed, people were already coming over to flatter him.

But he ignored everyone, as his attention had already flown away to someone else.

He Xinyan finished a glass of wine and gave the empty glass to the waiter walking by. She put one hand up to her head and silently cursed at herself.

She had forgotten that her alcohol tolerance was no longer as good as it was before she died! This was eight years ago, when she had first entered the entertainment industry.

Although she only drank one glass of wine, He Xinyan was already a little dizzy. She turned around and began looking for the restroom.

Gu Yechen's eyes lit up when he noticed that she was walking his way. Did she also want to curry favor with him?

Okay! He would love to help her. Gu Yechen tried to keep a straight expression as He Xinyan became closer and closer to him.

The next second, she turned a corner and disappeared.

Gu Yechen furrowed his eyebrows together and looked over to the hallway He Xinyan had just turned to. What?! He was just overthinking all this time?

"CEO Gu -" An old man walked over with a glass of wine in his hands."

"Get lost." Gu Yechen walked away with a grave expression and went down the same hallway she had just entered.

He Xinyan looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. So beautiful! If only she could stay this young forever. . .

He Xinyan leaned down and gently washed her face with the cold water. She didn't put on much makeup tonight anyway, so there wasn't much difference between her face now and her face without makeup on.

"Ah!" He Xinyan felt something hit her on the neck and her body suddenly felt weak as she fell down onto the ground.

Before she lost consciousness, she got a quick look at the person's face. It wasn't Yang Yaqi.

---

The man peeked his head out of the women's restroom door to make sure no one was around before he left. He quickly walked over to the elevator with He Xinyan on his back and pressed the 19th floor.

When he reached the assigned room, he rang the doorbell twice, and the door opened a second later, revealing an old and fat man.

"Here she is," the man said as he slipped He Xinyan off of his back.

The old man smiled slyly and licked his lips, "Beautiful!"

The man helped carry He Xinyan into the hotel room before leaving, allowing the old CEO to do his job.

The old man took one long look at He Xinyan with his small eyes before taking off his shirt, revealing an extremely large stomach.

Just as he was about to take his pants off, the doorbell rang again. Without even bothering to put his shirt back on, the man impatiently walked over to the door and opened it.

"What is your prob -" The man froze in place when he saw who was standing outside.

"CEO Gu!"
