Three days later, Xia Siyu and her lawyer finally arrived at the office of Huixing Company.
Four years ago, when Huixing was just established, it was only a small company renting a single floor office. By now, it had developed into a publicly-listed company renting an entire administrative building.
Nothing much had changed, only that they were no longer aligned in their goals and parted ways.
Xia Siyu brought her lawyer, followed by Wei Jingjing and Little Tang. She walked in front, wearing sunglasses and high heels, without deliberately raising her chin, she walked straight into the lobby.
Even though Xia Siyu was signed with the company, she usually did not co here as there were dedicated people to liaise with her, so she didn’t need to co to the company personally. Even if she did, she would go through the VIP channel, finish her business, and leave. She was busy with work and had nurous engagents, so it was rare for her to visit even once a year.
But this ti, she ca openly. Though she only brought three people, she marched in as if to make a big scene, attracting many onlookers to stop and watch.
Those outside might not be aware, but everyone in Huixing Company knew that Huixing had used her as a sacrifice to draw all the fire. The anger of the audience was easily misdirected, and as it developed, because Xia Siyu had no one to help manage the comnts, no public relations, and no one to speak for her, she beca a target for criticism, even harsher than the television station’s scorn.
People sotis do not necessarily hate soone; they just need an outlet to vent, and Xia Siyu beca that live target. She had been let down, her business halted, other investors withdrew, and her reputation plumted.
Xia Siyu was not one to take this silently. Was she here to settle accounts today?
However, Xia Siyu indeed had the clout. As soon as she entered the lobby, the elevator chid, and Qin Baizhou erged from the elevator first. Not long after, the other two partners also arrived together.
One partner handled business affairs, another managed artists, and the third handled film and television resources. Each had their responsibilities, and aside from company etings, it was rare for them to gather in the lobby. It wasn’t a photo shoot, so why gather all at once?
But Xia Siyu had this charisma. Even if they were negotiating her departure, the remaining trio still gave her this degree of respect.
Respectable people doing respectable things, there was no need for additional words. Xia Siyu didn’t lose her temper with them, she strode forward in her high heels, walked straight to the office, and laid the contract out word by word, in duplicate.
Initially, when Xia Siyu wanted to terminate her contract with Huixing, Huixing intended to make her pay a penalty according to the contract. Xia Siyu was prepared, even though she had taken on the criticism for Huixing, she still intended to compensate them.
In the end, Qin Baizhou helped her recover that loss, sparing her from having to pay, allowing for an amicable separation.
However, when handing her the contract, his gaze lingered with slight hesitation before finally offering it to her.
Xia Siyu didn’t hesitate, she glanced at her lawyer first, who nodded, then she promptly signed her na. She then handed it directly to the other side, where the three partners each also signed their nas.
"See you in the future." Xia Siyu stood up, took her copy of the contract, and handed it to the lawyer beside her for safekeeping.
The four-year collaboration with Huixing and the eight-year partnership with Qin Baizhou had co to an end.
