I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 107

No one knew how Shi Wei would react upon finding the truth later on. But as of now, she was elated. She thought her career would advance since Fu Chengyan had agreed to help her.

And so, Shi Wei went to Mr. Li at Xinjia to terminate her contract. Although her reputation was ruined, she was still Xinjia’s artiste. Xinjia had spent tons of money and effort to make her popular. Even if Shi Wei was now practically useless to Xinjia, they were still unwilling to let her go just like that.

But she wasn’t exactly born yesterday either. When the Shi family and Fu family found out Shi Wei received Fu Chengyan’s help, they helped her to negotiate with Xinjia’s CEO.

At first, Xinjia’s CEO wouldn’t agree to her conditions. But after a phone call in the midst of their negotiation, he had agreed to terminate Shi Wei’s contract. However, since Shi Wei was the one who wanted to terminate her contract, she had to compensate the company.

The Shi family and Fu family agreed to pay the compensation. With that, Shi Wei ended her contract with Xinjia. Soon after, Shi Wei wanted to meet with Zhou Zheng to ask him to suppress the news. But, Zhou Zheng had only agreed to discuss further after their contract agreement.

Shi Wei didn’t think much as she headed to Xinhuang’s building. This time, she was well-prepared, unlike last time. Since her reputation had already been ruined, and she had just ended her contract, Shi Wei wanted to sign a contract with Xinhuang as soon as possible.

When Zhou Zheng handed Shi Wei her contract, she signed it immediately without reading it. Her actions had taken Zhou Zheng by surprise. Then, he stared at Shi Wei in amusement, “Ms. Shi, you signed the contract without reading it? Don’t you have any requests?”

Shi Wei gave Zhou Zheng what she thought was a seductive smile and said, “Mr. Zhou, I trust your character. Besides, you helped me even when I’m in this plight. Of course, I trust you!”

What a fool!

Zhou Zheng stared at Shi Wei, who was acting coquettishly. He didn’t pity or covet that woman. He trusted Fu Chengyan’s judgment. His boss always had a keen eye for discerning people. The Shi Wei right in front of him had nothing besides her looks. Yet she was a crafty woman.

Zhou Zheng touched his jaw, seemingly satisfied with Shi Wei’s answer, “Since this is business, I think you should read through the contract. We’re colleagues from now on. Ms. Shi, if something happens to you later on, you’ll rise and fall together with Xinhuang. Am I right?”

Zhou Zheng’s words seemed to insinuate something. Even Shi Wei realized something was amiss. She frowned and flipped open the contract that she had just signed and paled visibly when she read the first page.

While flipping through the pages anxiously, Shi Wei stared at the contract in front of her in utter shock, with regret written all over her face.

After reading through the whole contract, Shi Wei clenched her teeth and asked, “Mr. Zhou, I trusted you. But this contract is full of clauses unfavorable to me! Why didn’t you remind me earlier?”

A smirk formed on Zhou Zheng’s lips. “I did remind you earlier. But you acted swiftly before I could even react. See, I even prepared an entire speech to discuss with you.”

“You…” Shi Wei was enraged. “This contract is unfair. It should be voided!”

“Voided? Ms. Shi, the contract becomes effective once the parties have signed it. Even if you aren’t in business, I believe you should know it well.” Zhou Zheng took the contract from her and smirked. “Do you think this contract is unfavorable to you? Based on your current situation, which I believe you are well-informed, Xinhuang is bearing a tremendous risk for signing you. If you insist on voiding the contract, we can do it. But a breach of contract will cause… Ms. Shi, I reckon you should consider the consequences.”

“You!” Shi Wei never expected Zhou Zheng would do this to her. “I’m Mr. Fu’s family!”

“Which Mr. Fu?” Zhou Zheng continued smirking. “Mr. Fu Chengyan handed Xinhuang to me, so I get to call the shots. Are you referring to Mr. Fu from Fucheng or my boss?”

Shi Wei paled visibly. “Does Fu Chengyan know what you just did?”

“Not everyone has the right to address Mr. Fu with his full name.” Zhou Zheng stood up with a sharp glint in his eyes. “Ms. Shi, think about it. Come to me after you’ve made up your mind. Xinhuang will always welcome you with open arms!”

Zhou Zheng was about to leave, but Shi Wei mustered her courage and stopped him. Clenching her teeth in anger, she shouted, “Wait!”

“Ms. Shi, go on,” Zhou Zheng stopped in his tracks and smiled.
