I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 685

Since Liu Zhishi took the Rolls Royce sent by Xu Xin last time, she added a car to Shanghai.

It is the Alfa that once sat very comfortably.

Because there was no assistant, Li Minnian became the driver.

Along the way, Li Minnian, who was driving, would use the rearview mirror to glance at her sitting in the back row from time to time.

Take a look, put it back, drive to see the road, and then continue to take a look...

And Liu Zhishi kept looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking.

Li Minnian watched Tang Ren get closer and closer, and the sense of "rushing to the execution ground" began to roll in his heart.

When he was only two blocks away from Tangren, he finally couldn't help but speak:

"Shishi... what do you think?"

"?"

Liu Zhishi came back to her senses, glanced at the rearview mirror, and said:

"I'm thinking about the past."

"... When I was a child?"

"No, just... the time when I first met Mr. Cai."

Withdrawing her gaze from the outside, she pushed her glasses and said unhurriedly:
"At that time, whether it was Mr. Cai or Lao Hu, Yuan Hong and the others...everyone was always smiling. There were not so many things. As a newcomer, I was always trembling when facing Lao Hu, especially when I was filming "The Immortal Sword". When I was watching him and Mimi play opposite each other, I was thinking about these two people, how did they manage to behave so naturally?"

"Uh……"

Li Minnian didn't know what to say for a while.

And Liu Zhishi didn't want to continue talking, but just shook her head:

"Brother Li, you don't need to accompany me for a while, just wait for me downstairs. I'll go up by myself."

"Don't, in case you and Mr. Cai get into a fight..."

"I won't argue with her."

Her tone is very firm:
"There's no need to quarrel. Tell the matter, and then ask Mr. Cai what he wants to do. What's the fuss about?"

"But she will definitely lose her temper when she hears the news..."

"Then I'll go straight away, don't worry, Brother Li, I know what I know, and I don't want to make it difficult for you. I will handle this matter quickly and neatly."

"..."

Li Minnian thought for a while, then shook his head:
"No, I'm still worried, I'll go with you..."

"It's really not necessary."

Liu Zhishi's tone became firm:
"I can do it myself."

"This……"

In the end, Li Minnian could only agree.

But I still don't forget to say:
"If it's a big deal, we will go through legal procedures. We don't need to be wronged."

"it is good."

Liu Zhishi responded.

Then, the car also came to Tangren downstairs.

She opened the door and got out of the car directly.

"Shishi, am I waiting for you in the basement? Or here?"

"It's fine here."

Liu Zhishi waved goodbye to him and walked into the office building.

When she entered the office building, she did not cover up anything.

It's not just the Tang family in the office building, there are other companies as well.

There are several people waiting for the elevator at the moment.

When they saw Liu Zhishi, the men all looked surprised.

And after the elevator door opened, everyone entered the elevator together, Liu Zhishi looked down at the photos on the phone, and those people secretly glanced at her, over and over again.

From head to toe, from clothes to phone screens...

It was only then that several people discovered that the pictures in the other party's mobile phone were one model after another with short hair.

Liu Zhishi wants to cut her hair short?
Soon, the floor reached Tang Ren's floor, and Liu Zhishi looked up and walked out.

After walking out, several men looked at each other...

"It's really beautiful."

"Well, it's even prettier than watching it on TV."

Several people showed signs of agreement.

……

"Hello, welcome...ah, Shi...Sister Shishi."

When the front desk saw the person walking in, he didn't recognize him at first.

But after seeing the face clearly, he quickly said hello.

"Well, is Mr. Cai there?"

"Yes... yes."

As soon as the receptionist nodded in agreement, Liu Zhishi nodded politely:
"OK, thanks."

She didn't have much impression of this front desk, presumably he was a new recruit from the company after the year.But she knew the other receptionist who was sitting on the computer and didn't know what he was busy with, but she couldn't name it.

After thanking you, you will go inside.

But the receptionist shouted subconsciously:
"Wait a moment!"

"?"

Liu Zhishi turned her head and looked at her suspiciously:
"what happened?"

"Uh……"

The front desk also took a look at the old employee who continued to face the computer without doing anything, just used the right mouse button and the E key to refresh the screen, and said bravely:

"The company...the company stipulates that if you want to see Mr. Cai, you need to make an appointment. Sister Shishi...you don't have an appointment."

"Uh……"

Liu Zhishi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't intend to get angry.

Although... from the time she came to the Tang people to now, as long as Mr. Cai is there, even during the period of "Xue Zang", she has always been able to directly communicate with the other party when she has something to do.There is no such thing as a "reservation".

But since someone mentioned it, she said in a flat voice:

"Then please give me a call, just call... Secretary Lin, and just say that I want to see Mr. Cai."

"...Okay. Then...then you sit down first."

The front desk pointed to the chairs in the visitor waiting area.

"okay."

Liu Zhishi replied again, and then sat down on the row of chairs.

Like a misfit outsider.

But she didn't care about it, and just continued to look down at the photos of short-haired models one after another, thinking about what kind of short-haired style Iguxia should look like.

And the front desk quickly called Secretary Lin's landline.

"Hello, Secretary Lin, this is the front desk. It's like this. Sister Shishi wants to find President Cai. Is it convenient for President Cai now?"

"Poetry?"

Secretary Lin's voice was a little surprised.

Then asked:

"Where is she now?"

"reception."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, and then said:

"Okay, I'll ask Mr. Cai, just wait for my call."

"Okay, Secretary Lin."

The receptionist hung up the phone politely, thought for a while, walked out of the receptionist, and walked to Liu Zhishi's side:
"Sister Shishi, I called Secretary Lin. Secretary Lin is now looking for Mr. Cai. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Liu Zhishi smiled at her.

The front desk thought for a while, walked to the water dispenser, and poured her a glass of water with a disposable cup.

"Sister Shishi, drink some water."

"Thank you."

After this glass of water, there was no communication between the two sides.

Time is passing by every minute and every second.

About ten minutes later, Liu Zhishi, who had already started reading the e-book version of "Sunspot" from the model pictures, suddenly heard a voice:
"Sister Shishi?"

She raised her head subconsciously.

Then a surprised look appeared.

Guo Xiaoting.

She showed a very polite smile:
"Xiao Ting, long time no see."

"Yes, Sister Shishi, long time no see."

Guo Xiaoting nodded with a smile.

Then he asked with some surprise:
"What are you doing sitting here?"

"Wait for Mr. Cai, I have something to ask Mr. Cai."

"……what?"

Guo Xiaoting was stunned.

Subconsciously asked:

"Is President Cai not here?"

"Here I am."

"……what?"

She was a little confused again.

Mr. Cai is here, but sister Shishi is still waiting at the door of the company?

This... Mr. Cai is still angry?
She was very surprised, and then turned her head to look at the front desk who stood up.

When she came in, the receptionist who greeted Liu Zhishi just now, and the receptionist who was sitting and operating the computer to refresh the screen all stood up.

Although Guo Xiaoting is young, she is an old employee of the company and belongs to the child star that the company has single-handedly picked up.

This kind of polite greeting is the minimum.

Guo Xiaoting didn't know what happened just now, but Liu Zhishi wanted to laugh for some reason after seeing the receptionist who was playing with computers standing up.

But she didn't say anything.

After Guo Xiaoting rolled her eyes, she withdrew her gaze and sat directly beside Liu Zhishi:

"Then I'll wait with Sister Shishi for a while."

Liu Zhishi looked at her sitting next to her, ignored the Hermes basket on her body that really didn't match her age, and asked:

"What are you working on recently?"

"I'm busy with the college entrance examination."

"Oh? Where are you going to apply? Beijing Film Academy? Chinese Opera?"

"No, just apply for the show, and it will be closer to the company."

Hearing this, Liu Zhishi nodded:
"That's good too. How about it? Is it too stressful?"

"It's okay, professional courses are definitely fine, I'm afraid that the scores of culture courses are not enough..."

After the two chatted a few words about their studies, Guo Xiaoting suddenly changed the subject:
"Sister Shishi, is the production of "Scary Step by Step" finished?"

"Not yet, now is the dubbing stage."

"oh oh……"

Guo Xiaoting nodded, and suddenly lowered her voice:

"Sister Shishi, let me ask you something."

"Well, you said."

"The company's new employee named Nazha last year... didn't she play a role in "Scary Step by Step"?"

"Well, what?"

"Her...how is the play?"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Liu Zhishi showed a look of memory on his face.

The character played by the little girl named Nazha seems to be called Suwan Guerjia Minmin, who is the princess of Mongolia.

The two have played against each other a few times.

Recalling those performance clips, she nodded:
"It's pretty good, the basic skills are very solid. I feel that I must not be as good as her at her age."

"..."

Hearing her comments, Guo Xiaoting showed a trace of disdain on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Zhishi asked in bewilderment:
"What's wrong? Why this expression?"

"..."

Guo Xiaoting thought for a while, and said again in a very low voice:
"Sister, didn't you and her not come to the annual meeting last year because of filming? I also listened to Mr. Ren and the others... You have to be careful with her, the company seems to be trying to praise her. Director Lin told her at the meeting in the spring of this year Full of praise, Mr. Cai also likes her very much, it is said that this year he will arrange a large amount of resources to spend on her..."

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Zhishi was stunned.

A sense of déjà vu suddenly rose in my heart.

In fact, she has never particularly liked Guo Xiaoting.

It is because this child has been fighting for coffee positions and resources since she was filming Xianjian, that is, the year before last, when she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

It's just that everyone took care of her as a child at the time, and she was young and ignorant, so she wouldn't be the same as her.

But now... Hearing this, Liu Zhishi really felt awkward.

Whether the company favors Nazha or not has little to do with her.

Although she probably understood why the other party was so unbalanced.

The little girl named Nazha is about the same age as her. The company she just joined last year has been reused.

And Guo Xiaoting has been in the company for several years, but the resources she got have been tepid.

Comparing the two, no one will feel comfortable.

But the problem is that she is leaving soon.

What Guo Xiaoting said was nothing more than urging herself to sit firmly in the position of the first sister, pressing down on the little girl named Nazha?

What's the point?

I'm leaving, and it doesn't matter who will be my first sister in the future.

not to mention……

Looking at the child in front of her who has been together for several years and "watched" grow up, Liu Zhishi thought about it, and said in a low voice:

"Xiaoting, can my sister tell you something from the bottom of my heart?"

"Yeah, tell me."

Guo Xiaoting nodded.

"Compared with resources and celebrity status, I think actors should pay more attention to performance itself. Especially in college, you will learn a lot of things that acting teachers or art schools can't learn. These are an actor... In the future, it will be the foundation for survival in the film and television industry.

You have to know... the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.How you perform can only be truly reflected by the audience.

As long as your acting skills are up to the mark and you are on the right path, even if your artistic career is not so prosperous, you will still bloom with distinctive characteristics and be remembered in the hearts of the audience.The merit of an actor is not how much money she earns, or how high a celebrity she is, but whether she can be remembered by the audience..."

"Uh……"

Guo Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, but her first reaction was to be dumbfounded.

I don't know if she didn't understand Liu Zhishi's words, or something else...

But the second reaction was that... very perfunctory:
"Yeah, I know. Sister Shishi, I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you that you have to be more careful. After all, we are the closest..."

Listening to her words of "dividing camps" that she was eager to express suddenly, Liu Zhishi sighed inwardly.

she knows.

What I said was like saying nothing.

Since it's useless to say... then I won't say it anymore.

So she nodded:
"Okay, I know."

"Yeah! Then I'll go first, there's still a body class over there."

"Well, you go."

"That……"

Guo Xiaoting stood up, as if she wanted to say something.

But she glanced at the front desk again, and finally just waved to Liu Zhishi:
"Goodbye, Miss Shishi."

"Uh-huh."

Liu Zhishi smiled and nodded:
"Goodbye."

Guo Xiaoting left, but Liu Zhishi looked at her leaving back, but suddenly sighed.

"Ugh……"

Then she waited a while longer.

Although some people went out in the middle, some people came in, it was very busy.

Everyone reacted differently to seeing her sitting in the visitor waiting area.

Some were surprised, some were speechless, and some were sighs of common sense... Xin said that confronting Mr. Cai really didn't end well.

And she sat at the door of the company for nearly half an hour, and finally heard someone calling herself:
"Poems."

She turned her head and stood up calmly:
"Secretary Lin."

"Well, Mr. Cai let you go."

After Secretary Lin finished speaking, he didn't wait, and he didn't show courtesy.

Just like treating an employee, after giving the notice, he left.

Then Liu Zhishi walked towards the stairs leading to the upper floor of the company.

As she walked, she glanced at the watch on her wrist.

All the way up the stairs, through one room after another, and finally arrived at the double door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

Liu Zhishi pushed open the door.

Cai Yinong was still sitting at the desk with his head down, as if he was processing some documents.

He didn't say "sit down", and he didn't say anything "about Shishi".

As if just working.

Logically speaking, the people in the company would either stand aside or sit on the sofa and wait for her to find him after she finished.

But Liu Zhishi did not.

She just walked into the house, closed the door, stepped forward a few steps, stood about three steps away from Cai Yinong's desk, and said hello:

"Mr. Cai."

"Ah."

Cai Yinong didn't look up.

Just a reply and no more text.

As for Liu Zhishi, she said in a very calm voice:

"I want to terminate the contract."

"..."

Cai Yinong stopped shaking his pen.

Subconsciously raised his head, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Looking at Liu Zhishi:
"?"

Her expression was full of doubts, as if she didn't hear what Liu Zhishi said clearly.

And Liu Zhishi said again:
"I want to terminate the contract with the company."

"...?"

Doubt, speechlessness, bewilderment and many other emotions appeared on Cai Yinong's face.

In the end, a thousand words turned into one sentence:
"What? You... say it again?"

"I said, I want to terminate the artist contract with the company. I came to you today, hoping to break up with the company peacefully. I know that I have breached the contract. But I have consulted with the lawyer. Advertisements, performances, events, etc. all rigid regulations. So, I hope to buy out the remaining three-year contract at a price of 75 yuan. Do you think it is possible?"

This time, Cai Yinong heard clearly.

But after hearing it clearly, the pen in his hand was directly photographed on the document:

"Snapped!"

"Shishi...do you know what you're talking about?"

Her eyes were full of absurdity and anger beyond shock.

The tone is like a knife.

Cutting flesh and blood.

But if her tone was like a knife, Liu Zhishi's expression was like a Vajra Buddha who was as immovable as a mountain.

She nodded calmly:
"Yes. I want to terminate the contract with the company. Terminate the contract peacefully."

She bit the last four words very hard.

expressed his sincerity.

But the more she was like this, the more ferocious Cai Yinong's expression became.

Grinding his teeth ferociously:
"I need a reason!"

"Is there a reason..."

Liu Zhishi thought for a while, then calmly said:
"From a close point of view, I came to the company at 9:42. When I arrived at the front desk, the new receptionist greeted me, but the old employee of the company didn't even look at me, just looking at me. Playing on the computer there."

"..."

Cai Yinong was taken aback.

"I said I came to see you, and the newcomer told me that according to the company's regulations, you need to make an appointment. But this is a rule for company visitors, right?
You once said that we, your artists, can call you anytime and anywhere, or come to you no matter what.

This is something that all the old employees of the company know, and it is also a manifestation of your responsibility as our first broker.The receptionist who played with the computer was also an old employee, so she didn't know for no reason.But she didn't say it.

So, I was stopped in the waiting area where only company visitors would stay. It was not until 10:34 that Secretary Lin came to call me. "

Speaking of this, she looked at Cai Yinong and asked her doubts:
"Mr. Cai, am I still a member of the company? If so, why do you treat me like this?"

"Uh……"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yinong also felt a little unreasonable.

Because it was her decision to let Liu Zhishi hang out.

It was she who reminded her after speaking to her secretary half an hour later.

But why is there an extra 10 minutes...

"Is that why you terminated the contract?"

In the end, she still didn't give a positive response.

But upon hearing this, Liu Zhishi shook his head:

"That's not true, it's just a point where I firmly terminate the contract. You once said that the company will be my home in the future. But now even my family members treat me as an outsider, so I have no reason to stay here. And my main reason is that I don't agree with the idea. What you want me to do is too contradictory and conflicting with what I want to do. I don't want to stay here anymore. So, if you agree, then I hope to pay a loss of 75 Compensation, to make up for the remaining years of my contract..."

"It's impossible! Do you know how many years are left on your contract? You..."

"Is that so..."

Hearing Cai Yinong's merciless refusal, Liu Zhishi didn't even understand the reason completely, so she nodded:

"OK then."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Cai Yinong seriously, and said word by word:

"Mr. Cai, although I hope to terminate the contract peacefully with the company, but you rejected my conditions, then I can only rely on the law to resolve this matter. Thank you for your cultivation and love from 07 to now. Thank you Thank you for leading me into this line of work, and thank you for supporting me over the years. Goodbye."

After finishing speaking, she bowed deeply to Cai Yinong.

After getting up, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Poetry!"

"..."

"Liu Zhishi!! Stop for me!"

"..."

"Liu Zhishi!!"

The moment the door opened, the entire floor seemed to hear her voice.

But Liu Zhishi still didn't look back.

Just like what she said to Li Minnian, she will solve this matter very quickly.

There will be no messy appearance.

Absolutely not.

If we can't agree on a peaceful termination, then we'll see you in court.
